I have been a client for many years and I am very selective about who handles my hair. Lance always does a good job.

DO NOT GO HERE!! Unless you want your hair to fall out. Lance damaged my hair beyond repair. Left it a frizzy mess - mushy, stringy, dry and breaking off. Overpriced and WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! AVOID!!

Lance has been caring for my hair for about 18 years now. No one else touches a hair on my head. He is a master of his art. His product knowledge is exceptional, he has a flair for all that is fabulous, and is magnificently skilled in all things pertaining to hair care and styling. I use his products and they do wonders for my hair. His salon is clean and the atmosphere is somewhat ambient and inviting at the same time. I would follow this man anywhere!

I appreciate Lances patience and creativity with my hair. My hair is thick, long, dense, curly, and has been processed over the years. I get excited about changing up my hairstyles. So my hair is not easy to understand and Lance has the

I was introduced to Lance over 18 years ago as on of the best in the hair care industry. I was experiencing extreme hair shedding. Well, Lance's experience and knowledge of hair care brought my hair back to a new dimension of total restoration, length, fullness and luxury. I can't thank him enough for the queenly treatment and service I receive each and every time I visit his studio. Thanks, Lance!!!
