My wife went in for her “big chop” today. She went in not knowing who would cut her hair and didn’t request a specific stylist. Cyara serviced her today. She came home looking amazing, like a different person, and so happy. Thank you so much Cyara. Thank you to Tricoci University for the opportunity to meet this stylist. Very pleased. Great location.

Colby the receptionist was beyond incredible today. She was engaging and communicative and very helpful in accommodating me with an appointment on short notice, with a positive and understanding attitude, great energy and fun personality! I would tip her if I could. She is a gem. Her effort made my experience here start off wonderfully. I’m sure Cyara who is doing my nails will get me right too, she has gorgeous style and ideas, and a fantastic personality as well. I appreciate her accepting my last minute appointment and request. If I’m ever in the area again, I’m definitely coming back, and recommending this place to others!
