It opens Wednesday through Saturday and stays closed Mondays, Tuesdays, and Sundays, a shorter week that concentrates appointments into four days.

Customer Review Summary

Balayage color work draws the most attention, with several reviewers praising stylists for delivering caramel blonde balayage and highlights, vivid purple mixed to a custom shade, and cuts described as reading the client's mind on fine, easily tangled hair. Eyelash uplifts also earn repeat praise, with one client returning for lash work over multiple years. Close behind, reviewers highlight feeling heard and walked through the color process, with staff explained each step before proceeding. One reviewer, however, describes a starkly different outcome, reporting that a balayage request for a honey brown result instead left her with black chunks, uneven copper and red tones, and eventually a fully lightened, damaged blonde-brunette after three separate attempts to correct it. Most accounts, by contrast, describe stylists taking extra time and involving clients in shade decisions, including one longtime client's care for hair that tangles easily and another's decision to switch a young grandchild's stylist after a previous cut elsewhere went badly.

    “My daughter goes here and suggested we take our 8 year old granddaughter here. The last hair cutting was a disaster and she hated the gal who cut her hair.....she butchered it. So she was a bit apprehensive about going to get another …”

    “Amazing salon! I came in with splotchy faded copper hair and roots, and Kim was able to give me exactly what I wanted. She took her time and did a phenomenal job with my hair. She gave me a caramel blonde balayage and highlights just like I wanted. Not to mention, she was very kind and sweet throughout the day. Thank you!”

    “i’ve been with andrea for years now, she always makes me feel heard and important. her colors are always fantastic and she makes my hair so unbelievably soft. i’ve done vivid and bleach with her and she not only nails the cut i want, she can read my mind. she has good experience with fine hair that tangles easily and is so patient.”

    “LeNaia made me feel seen - and yes, this sounds silly, but have you ever gone to a salon and they just don't listen to you? LeNaia listened to my individual hair needs and explained everything she was doing and why. She took extra time to …”

    “I came in with long, virgin black hair, hoping for a honey brown balayage with natural-looking dimension. Instead, I left feeling completely disappointed after spending $730 total. After my first visit, my hair had black chunks on top and the ends were brown with copper and red tones. That isn’t what I wanted. I felt pressured to keep my roots black, even though I originally asked for a softer dark brown blend like a true balayage. I went in again to fix it, and her solution was to lighten my entire head, since she couldn’t just fix the black parts and had to lift the uneven red tones. on day two, I literally walked out with blonde hair… which was the opposite of what I wanted. On day three, she tried to tone it down to a dark brown — and in bad lighting it sort of looks that way? But in sunlight, or good lighting it has grey, yellow hues and golden specks — nothing close to the rich, honey-toned brown I asked for originally. The result is a damaged blonde-brunette with tones of yellow and grey that I never asked for. I’m beyond disappointed because I spent SO MUCH MONEY here only to get something that I wasn’t asking for. I even gave her 3 attempts to make my hair the way I wanted and it just didn’t hit the mark. I was polite and patient throughout the process, but last week I came in with beautiful shiny black hair and today i’m embarrassed by it. If you’re looking for a place to give you something difficult such as balayage or something with depth I would be cautious of coming here. My hair is very important to me and it’s ruined.”
