This place is amazing.. The staff here is very attentive and so kind .. I absolutely love Krystal and how she makes sure her clients are happy with every service they receive from her salon rather she provides it or one of the other fabulous ladies here. If you are looking for a new place to have your hair done, a spray tan or are in need to see an aesthetician this is a great spot

I had been searching for a long time for a good stylist/colorist. My previous experiences were fair at best. Then I found Heather at Runway Salon. She asked me a lot of questions about what I was looking for, what my current/past styles and color choices had been, what I liked/disliked, etc. Heather was so thoughtful and listened intently to what my wants and needs were. She took the time to discuss various options and made sure I was completely comfortable in my choices. Heather was kind and gracious and above all extremely professional and knowledgeable. She colored and styled my hair, and this

I HIGHLY recommend runway salon! I’ve never had my hair cut short, and I was ready for something new (but still super scared) and Heather helped me figure out exactly what I wanted and I could NOT be happier!… She was super chill, friendly, and usually I’m so awkward and hate talking to people! However, she made me feel so comfortable!
Also, the salon is just gorgeous inside! Good music, and they offer drinks while you wait :) I will be back again!

This place is fantastic. I had previously gotten my hair dyed for the first time at another hair salon and they didnt listen and colored my whole head when I wanted just highlights. When I walked in to this place to try and get my hair fixed they welcomed me in and were sweethearts. The lady that did my hair listened to exactly what I wanted and did just that. This place is so aesthetically pleasing inside as well. Great visit, this will be the only place I get my hair done because they execute what you want perfectly and the staff are so kind.
