I had the most wonderful root touch up with Valeria yesterday. She applied the color with such care, taking her time to ensure every gray was covered. After rinsing my hair thoroughly, she made sure all the color was washed out. Then she applied the conditioner and rinsed it once more to make sure there was no leftover color. The best part? I didn’t end up with a wet shirt and I didn’t have any water splashing on my face. Valeria’s attention to detail and professionalism made the entire experience enjoyable. I left completely satisfied with the service. Thank you Valeria for such a fantastic experience. I wish you success in your future endeavors and hope many more clients will enjoy your excellent service.

I had a great experience at Milan. Sarah did an amazing job of highlights in my hair. She is a very friendly and attentive stylist. She went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and happy with the process. The teachers have a very caring attitude towards their students while keeping it a fun atmosphere. I was able to see a graduation as well which made it even more fun to see the pride and support everyone has for each other there. I highly recommend trying out this salon.
