Found this wonderful salon last minute and I absolutely love them here! Came in as a walk in and walked out extremely happy with the hair cut/style… I’ve already recommended to friends.

My first experience at Elayne James, after my stylist of 25 years retired. I was really nervous about going to a new salon. What an amazing experience! Gianna G did a color touch up, cut and blow out. She was awesome! So happy with what she did! Highly recommend! She even suggested some great products that I just love! Also, the salon was meticulously clean and comfortable. The entire staff was so friendly!

Layla was wonderful! Took her time and listened to me. I’m definitely going back to her !
