Keri always does an amazing job. Finally found my go to hair stylist! First time I went to her was a last minute appointment for my bday. She was able to get me in when another salon cancelled on me the same day. Since then I have always come back to her chair 🫶🏼

I wanted something new in the way of a hairstyle and Jessica took her time going over options and explaining styling tips to me. I was happy with the outcome and I will be going back.

I had a hair cut with a wash and blow out with Sarah and it was the best experience I've had at a salon in a while. The atmosphere was super warm and welcoming and my stylist was so wonderful. I felt she really listened when I told her what I wanted and asked great questions to help give her a better idea of what I was looking for. The salon was bright and clean and the products they used made my hair feel great! I was looking for some new products and Sarah gave me some awesome recommendations based on how I care ...

It’s been a while since I’ve done anything for my self! I had a gel manicure with extensions and a gel pedicure, as well as an eyebrow wax. Amanda was nothing short of fantastic. Everyone was wonderful. Very welcoming and helpful. Amanda did all 3 of my services. I will definitely come for nail fill’ plus I have a hair appointment on Thursday with another employee. Keep you posted!
