Norah was recommended to me by a friend and I can't say enough good things. I'm a creature of habit when it comes to my hair, and Norah took so much time to explain to me what differences I could see with proper treatment and styling. And she didn't just whisk me out the door. She took time to answer all of my questions and methodically went through how I can continue to care for my hair -- and have it look good! -- at home. I'll be back for more styling tips and a blow-dry session soon, but for now, go see Norah!

Ive been getting my hair done by Norah for about 10 years now. She accepts nothing but perfection when it comes to her work. I never leave her hair unsatisfied, and in fact, I always leave her chair glowing!!
Norah recently started these Keratin treatments on my hair, and my hair is growing like a weed! My hair has never grown this fast and this long. All in all, my scalp is healthy, my hair is healthy, and I have nothing but great things to say when it comes to Norahs expertise and magic hands .
