What customers said about hairstyling
Those looking for short hair stylist...go here!! Jen was awesome and fixed a horrible haircut I got from a different salon. She saved me. You cant go wrong with Jen!!
Katie is incredible! I've been going to her for over a decade. If I could give her 10 stars, I would. Living Waters is a very zen environment! Check them out!
I have been coming here for 10+ years for hair, eyebrows, even prom makeup and hair styling. I have never left disappointed!
Sara was perfect. She understood what I was looking for, took good care of my hair, and made me feel pretty again.
I started going to Journeys a few years ago and that is when I found my amazing hair stylist, Calista! She always does a beautiful job on my hair and I won’t go to anyone else anymore! I now see her at her new salon “Curly Roots Hair Studio” in Lima. So lucky I found her!
Ive been seeing Francesca for my cut and color for a year now. She is the best stylist I've ever had in my 26 years in the beauty industry and salon experiences. She knows how to make my hair look perfect for the 12 weeks between appointments! She is so personable, kind and talented. Always feel like a movie star…
