I had an absolutely amazing experience at Eclipse Hair Studio! As a college student not from the Athens area, it can be super hard to find new salon, but Jeff Plott was so welcoming and gave me absolutely everything I was looking for when I wanted to go from blonder to a little darker for the winter. I would recommend Eclipse in a heart beat!
