ashely slayed with my hair. at first i was unsure about it as i am after any haircut but now that a few days have passed and it's been washed and is falling into place it's perfect and i'm obsessed. this is the happiest i've been with a new haircut in a while. she fixed all my layers (i came in with an uneven mess that i cut myself lol) and made my hair nice and fluffy like i asked. i can't stop running my hands through it. thank you so much 🫶

Cleo is absolutely amazing! From the moment I sat in her chair, she made me feel comfortable and confident. She truly listens to what I want and works her magic to deliver flawless results every time. Whether it’s a cut, styling, manicure, pedicure, or facial wax, Cleo’s attention to detail and expertise shine through. She can also do all kinds of hair, including braids and cornrows! She is not only incredibly skilled but also warm, friendly, and professional. I always leave feeling like the best version of myself! I can’t recommend Cleo enough—if you’re looking for a stylist who will exceed your expectations, she’s the one! Attached is the hair she did for a wedding I attended! Curls were on point! Everyone at the school is incredibly talented and passionate about their work. I look forward to going there because the girls love the work that they do and you can feel it as soon as you walk in! I now prefer this school to a professional salon because of the high level of service, all while still delivering such an affordable price! I can’t recommend this place enough, and to book with Cleo!
