Services
Hair Coloring
Our hair coloring services include single-process color, double-process techniques, partial and full foils, balayage, and gloss treatments. We customize shades to complement skin tones while using ammonia-free options for hair health. Clients receive expert advice on maintaining color vibrancy between visits.
Keratin Treatment
This advanced keratin treatment reduces frizz and curls for smoother, more manageable hair. The process seals keratin into hair strands using heat, lasting up to six months. Ideal for clients seeking easier styling and reduced blow-dry time without damaging hair structure.
Haircuts
We offer tailored haircuts for all ages and hair types, including bang trims, layered cuts, and modern styles. Our stylists assess face shape and hair texture to create flattering looks. Each session includes styling guidance for maintaining the cut at home.
Updo Styling
Special occasion updos combine creative design with secure styling techniques. We accommodate weddings, proms, and formal events with trial sessions available. Services include hair extensions and accessory integration for customized bridal or event looks.
Waxing Services
We provide precision waxing for eyebrows, lip, chin, and full-face hair removal. Our estheticians use gentle techniques suitable for sensitive skin, with post-care recommendations to minimize irritation and maintain smooth results between appointments.

Feel very safe. Love my color, has depth with different tones. Been going here for years, my cut always lasts, looks good even when the length is ready to be cut.

I've been seeing Manuela for several years now and she is absolutely terrific. She both listens and gives good advice on what's realistic with your type of hair. She is great with color as well as with keratin treatment to make your hair less freezy and easier to manage. I highly recommend her - you will not be disappointed.

I've been going to Manuela for over 20 years. I would never ever go to anyone else. Each cut is just about perfect and exactly the way I want it. She is professional, fast, friendly, gentle, meticulous, and helpful. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone but especially to men.

She listens to what you want and gives easy to understand suggestions for when you don't know what you want. She is extremely capable of cutting curly hair. I have natural big curls that change shape when cutting but despite that she still makes me look great.

I receive a wonderful haircut. She listens to exactly what you want and executes it perfectly. I was a bit nervous to get bangs but she couldnt have done a better job.
