Customer Review Summary
Hair coloring draws the most praise, with reviewers describing highlights and dye jobs, including a black-to-pink transformation and results one stylist matched even better than a reference photo. Cuts also get singled out, with one reviewer noting the stylist "knew exactly what to do." Several mention friendly, welcoming staff and being fit in on short notice at a fair price, and a few note most staff speak Spanish, with one German customer and a stylist from Colombia communicating well despite the language gap. Complaints recur around inconsistency: one reviewer got a color far off from what they asked for and felt it left their hair too dark, another describes a lingering burnt smell after a blowout for over a week, and one reviewer says a stylist questioned their requested style with an attitude while they were already nervous about the change. The salon closes on repeat gratitude toward specific stylists, with several reviewers saying they'll return to the same person who handled their hair.

“I had such a fabulous experience getting my hair done here! They kindly answered questions that I had before scheduling and was able to fit me in the same day! I had an idea of what I wanted, but the owner Nixon and my hair stylist, Rosita, colored my hair even better than the pictures I showed. The highlights turned out so pretty, and my hair felt very soft. I love my results so much and will definitely be going back!”

“I've been going here for many years! Nixon is great. Price is right and staff are always friendly and professional. My only critique would be my hair smells for over a week later like burnt hair after a blowout ( which sucks) everything else is awesome!!”
