Both women that did my mani pedi were friendly, professional and gentle! Claudia did my nails and Liz did my pedicure. Update: Today I got highlights and a trim. Analisa and Marlene were quite the duo! They were thorough, asked me questions and super sweet. Very talented students. Book them for your next hair appointment before they graduate! Also thank you to Nicole for the referral and for helping us decide what would look best!! Went back for a partial highlight and my student was Alyssa. She was excellent. This time I went a little lighter on my highlights and she delivered! Book with her before she graduates!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Katie did my blowout and deep conditioning treatment today and I am obsessed. My hair feels silky, soft, and so healthy — she really has magic hands. The blowout was full, bouncy, and stayed gorgeous all day. She took her time, listened to exactly what I wanted, and made me feel so pampered. I’m beyond proud of the skill and care she brings to her craft. Already counting down the days until my next appointment with her!”
