I’ve gotten by hair done by Xochitl Garza multiple times because she does such a good job. Every time the supervisor checks it at the end of my appointment they have very little to no notes because Xochitl is just that talented. I honestly wish she wasn’t so talented so I could save some money, but she does such a good job every time I keep coming back. She has cut and dyed my hair and I’ve been beyond happy with the result every time. I highly recommend getting your hair done by Xochitl!

I had such a great experience having my hair done by Sophia C! She toned my hair, gave me a trim, and finished it off by curling and styling it. She took her time throughout the entire appointment and made sure I was happy with how everything looked. My hair turned out beautiful, and the tone was exactly what I wanted. I also loved how healthy and refreshed my hair felt after the trim. She made the whole experience comfortable and enjoyable, and I could tell she genuinely cared about making sure I loved the final result. I would definitely trust her with my hair again and highly recommend her!
