I have been going to Michael for over a year now and he is amazing. My hair is healthy and longest it has been in years. I get my pedicure with Wendi - love her. The atmosphere feels like you’re in a salon out of Hemet. I would recommend this salon to anyone wanting that high end experience without the drive.
