I would highly recommend Courtney she was super sweet and at a really good job. It was my first time ever bleaching my hair. The process was tedious, but girl got it done.

Serena was amazing!! She was very thorough and gentle with my hair! She took time to listen to me and answered all of my (many) questions. She not only gave me a great cut but she also educated me on several different products to try out! I can’t wait to come back for my next appointment!

Manicure by Olivia was terrific. She made sure every nail edge was clean and smooth. I liked that she worked at a steady pace, not rushing but not too slow. Hand massage was divine. I will definitely be back to see her again.
