I always go to Tricoci University for my hair color. The students work with you on what you want and the teachers make sure you are well taken care of. The costumer service is AMAZING! I got an all over color and tried a new shade, it came out amazing! I also got a hair cut as well and they did a great job. My appointment was at 10am and I was done with the color, hair cut, and blow dry by 12:30pm. If you are thinking about getting your hair done here, do it!

I just had the most incredible back facial with Margaret and can't recommend her enough! My back was feeling rough and itchy, but after my session it feels smoother and more hydrated than I ever thought possible. Margaret was professional, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. She explained every step of the process and made me feel comfortable and relaxed from the moment I checked in. The hot towels and massage during the treatment were pure bliss. Her massage technique was heavenly! The results are truly amazing – this was hands down the best & most relaxing back facial I’ve ever had. Five stars all the way!"

The person I had the pleasure of being a client for was Neysa VonBergen, and I’ve never felt so relaxed anywhere other than my own home. The calm, soothing music combined with the facial she gave me put me in complete relaxation mode. Neysa was professional, gentle, and made the entire experience feel personalized and peaceful. Afterward, my face felt incredibly smooth and healthy. I’d highly recommend booking with her if you’re looking for someone who truly cares about her clients and creates a calming, rejuvenating experience.
