My hair does one thing when wet, and a completely different thing when dry. Joseph is the only professional I've been to that takes the time to ensure my hair looks good both before and after drying. As an attorney, it's incredibly important that I look good and come across as professional and polished. I'll keep going to him for a long as humanly possible - he's fantastic. 13/10 - highly, highly recommend.

Anna is amazing at Cuts & Color! I have platinum blonde hair, which is not easy, and she nails it every time. The salon is clean & always so friendly!

Dear Joseph, you are correct, I have not been a client for awhile. My comments are for my mother and aunt's appointments in late January and early February of 2021, neither of whom drive. I brought them to their appointments.

Best nail salon I've been to in a lot time. I'm very picky about my nails so I'm always nervous to try a new spot but I would definitely recommend Hair Architects Salon & Spa. They have a great selection of gel colors. Amy did my nails and they are absolutely perfect. Staff is friendly and efficient. Salon & tools are clean. Prices are very reasonable esp for how good of a job they do. Highly recommend!

Ive been going here for years and Dante is the absolute BEST! She listens to what I want and Ive never left disappointed or unhappy. Shes transformed my hair from dry with split ends to sleek and healthy. Everyone there is very friendly and Id never go anywhere else. The parking is a challenge but its worth the walk across the street when its busy. Love this place!
