Customer Review Summary
Cuts and color dominate the praise, with reviewers repeatedly naming individual stylists for blowouts, dye jobs, and first haircuts. Several single out a blonde color transformation and a pink hair dye job as standouts, while a first haircut for a nervous child and a wash and blow dry for a hospitalized teen are described as especially caring. A salon dog gets a mention as a bonus during visits. One reviewer calls out great prices alongside a cut, dye, and style done without rushing. A lone complaint describes booking directly with the owner after sending a reference photo and waiting three weeks for the appointment, with the reviewer unhappy about how that booking played out. Beyond that account, the pattern across reviews is consistently positive, with repeat visitors describing themselves as regulars and several saying they plan to return.

“My daughter went there to get her hair dyed and she had an absolutely wonderful experience. She loves her hair but can't say enough good things about the staff and the treatment. The owner is extremely nice and she loved all the stylist. I would highly recommend Vanessa's.”

“I can't say enough good things about Vanessa's Hair Salon! In March, my 17-year-old daughter had a wash and blow dry after being in the hospital, and Pheobe was absolutely wonderful, so kind, patient, and made her feel great. My own haircut with Sophie was also fantastic! Not only is it the best cut I've had, but the advice from Vanessa and her team for my damaged hair was invaluable. Our most recent visit was for my youngest daughter Layla's very first haircut. She was understandably nervous, having only had haircuts from her dad before. Pheobe was incredible, giving her the royal treatment and making her feel like a beautiful princess. And let’s not forget about Maci, the salon dog??? Anywhere there is a dog, I’m in love!! Because of the exceptional service and care we've received, we are now Vanessa's patrons for life! I highly recommend this salon”
