Each session includes a complimentary consultation to ensure optimal results that complement your lifestyle and maintenance capabilities.

Great Salon on the 'Yunk! In preparation four our Anniversary, my wife and I decided to get hair cuts. She's been going for years but this is my second time. Lauren was excellent. She is friendly and a true master of her craft. In the time of what seemed like a quick conversation, she tamed my months old growth (pandemic life, yay!) into a perfectly executed fade and spot on side part. She also does my wife's curly locks and is the only person my wife will see. Lauren is a wonder with all hair types! I absolutely recommend Headhunters Hair Design. Ask for Lauren!

Sophia keeps my eyelashes in line. After searching for a solid lash tech for over a year, I finally found the perfect person! Sophia is quick, knowledgeable and communicative. Ive only ever had one appointment that was rescheduled and it was done so painlessly and virtually. If youre looking for someone who is professional and capable, look no further!

Booked an appointment the day prior to going in. I got 2-3 confirmation emails, as well as 2 text messages making sure I was absolutely coming to my appointment. I got there 15-20 minutes early. I walked into the salon and one client was there just getting shampooed. I was told my stylist would be with me shortly. My appointment time comes and goes and I was again told someone would be right with me without me saying anything. Now 23 minutes after my appointment time, the stylist was just barely starting to blow dry the womans very long and full hair. At this point the receptionist is in the

I had my hair cut & styled and makeup done here the other day by Alexa. She was so sweet and did a wonderful job on everything. She asked me more than once how I wanted my hair and made sure I liked it and it would stay the night. She took her time with my makeup as well and it looked wonderful. Highly recommend Alexa. I don't usually feel as confident when getting my hair cut or vocal about what I want as much as I did here because of her. I didn't leave wishing she'd done anything differently. As per covid, they had limited clients and personnel in there the whole time I was there and I felt
