My husband I were walk-ins. We received excellent hair cuts from Cela and Julia! The instructors were courteous when assisting. We received better service than high priced salons.

I can't say enough about the exceptional service I've received here, and at half the salon price! Last fall, Emily gave me beautiful highlights to blend my natural platinum hair with the previous brown hair color. When I returned at Christmas, owner Lori suggested a soap cap. She worked side by side with the student to demonstrate the process. Sheila gave me a cute cut, toner and conditioning treatment. I could not be happier with the results and look forward to my next visit.

I have been here for a haircut for myself, one for my daughter, and an eyebrow wax. It was all excellent. It did take a little more time, but I didnt mind as the students were friendly. LOVED the outcome of each service and was SO impressed with the cost! Such a great value! I will 100% be going back frequently.
