Anthony M was truly exceptional when it came to giving me a haircut! From the moment I sat in the chair, he made me feel at ease with his calm and professional demeanor. He listened closely to what I wanted, offering thoughtful suggestions and ensuring that he understood exactly what I was hoping for. His technique was impeccable—every snip was precise, and he seemed to have a natural ability to work with my hair type. Throughout the process, Anthony kept checking in to make sure I was happy with the progress, which showed how much he cares about his clients. The final result was nothing short of amazing! The cut was exactly what I had envisioned, and I left feeling more confident than ever. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Anthony is definitely a cut above the rest!

Got my hair cut and colored by Paula Waldeck and had a great first experience! I asked for a butterfly cut and black dye and she completed both beautifully, even took the time to retexturize/cut pieces how I wanted no matter how many times I asked. She gave me exactly what I wanted. Can’t wait to go back for touch ups, mani/pedis, and even facials!

I recently visited Milan to get hair extensions put in by Alejandro, and I had such a great experience that I had to share! From the moment I walked into the salon, I felt welcomed and comfortable. The atmosphere was chic and professional, and the staff was super friendly. Alejandro was amazing from start to finish. He took the time to consult with me about what I wanted and made sure the extensions I chose would work perfectly with my hair type and color. His attention to detail was spot-on — he applied the extensions with such precision that they blended seamlessly with my natural hair. The process was smooth and comfortable, and Alejandro really took care to make sure I was happy with everything at each step. I left Milan feeling like a brand-new person with fuller, longer hair that looked completely natural. The quality of the extensions was fantastic, and Alejandro gave me some great tips on how to care for them to make sure they stay looking fabulous. I highly recommend visiting Milan and booking with Alejandro if you’re considering extensions — the whole experience was top-notch, and I’m so happy with the results!
