Was in town for a wedding and didn’t have time to do my own hair, eyebrows or makeup. I made an appointment ahead of time and I suggest you do because when I got there they were super busy. The girl I was paired with was super nice and enthusiastic to work with me which made me feel welcomed. She spent 10 minutes on my eyebrows with the wax and then with the tweezers to make them look perfect. She then spent a huge chunk of time curling my hair and kept calling me Repunzel because my hair was so long. I told her I wasn’t sure what I wanted and she suggested curling my hair and I said sure. I didn’t really specify what kind of curls I wanted and she did super tight curls. I actually really liked it because my go to style is straight hair so it was different. She also did my makeup and actually matched my skin color really well. I suggest that the company should provide better make up for the girls since almost everuthing was totally out including mascara, lashes, and blush. If I lived in Grand Rapids I would definitely come back.

Sky Williams gave me a fresh new style and ensured my comfort every step of the way. Her consult was thorough, especially since I was making a change that involved a much shorter cut than I had in the recent past. Beautiful blonde highlights and a shoulder length cut turned more than a few heads the next day resulting in so many complements. This is where art, science and style converge; here's to Sky for making it happen!

I booked with Sky W. and she was amazing! It was my first time ever coming here and I am so excited to go back. She did such an amazing job working with what I wanted but also helping me figure out what would look best. She spent so much time talking with me about my hair and also took time to teach me about what I can do to help it get healthier and style it better. I got a hair cut and did the botanical treatment and would definitely recommend her to anyone!!
