Leonid did such an amazing job with highlights! I asked for very subtle balayage, natural looking and the results were even better than I imagined. Have never been this happy with my hair, will be coming back!!

I supposed to get a hair cut and color that was set to take about 2 hours. After consulting with the stylist I realized that I cannot have the desired color and decided to just get the hair cut which happened in 3 hours. Someone started to blow dry my hairs with limited experience. The blow dry was slow and a little painful. The strong point was not I got an honest consult about the color and offered coffee!

Allison is incredible. She has a lot of knowledge about hair and knew how to cut my hair perfectly based on the texture and thickness! She did an absolutely amazing balayage and blended my former highlights really well. All of the staff were super friendly and helpful! Would highly recommend!

It was my first time at the salon scheduled with Brianne to cover some gray, blow dry, and get a haircut. It was a great experience. It was a much needed few hours of pampering. Brianne's assistant was welcoming and professional. Brianne was very professional, creative, humane, and attentive. She cares about maintaining healthy hair. I am very happy with her work on my hair especially my haircut. Thank you for your kindness and expertise, Brianne.

It was my first time in the salon, I was impressed by the lay out of the space, the salon was neat and clean. Everyone from the receptionist to Sequoya and her assistant were friendly and attended to my needs and made sure I was comfortable. The service is very organized and systematic. Sequoya listened to my concerns and what I wanted to be done to my hair. Her assistant was very nice and made sure I was comfortable. I like the result of my hair color and cut.
