Hair Coloring
Our hair coloring services use premium Tocco Magico products for vibrant, long-lasting results. Specializing in balayage, color blocking, and corrective coloring, we tailor shades to complement your skin tone and lifestyle. Clients receive personalized maintenance advice to keep colors fresh between visits.
Curly Cuts
Certified in Ouidad and Curlisto techniques, we enhance natural curls with precision cuts. Our methods reduce frizz while maintaining curl integrity, creating styles that are easy to manage and showcase your hair's natural texture.
Quickie Kits
Take home professional-grade color formulated specifically for your hair. These mess-free kits let you maintain root coverage between salon visits using the same ammonia-free formulas we use in-house for seamless results.
Keratin Infusion
This customized keratin treatment eliminates frizz while preserving natural wave patterns. Using controlled heat application, we infuse keratin to strengthen hair and reduce styling time by up to 50% without flattening natural volume.
Hair Toppers
Custom-designed toppers address thinning hair with 100% undetectable coverage. Each piece matches your hair color and texture perfectly, providing fullness and confidence without damaging existing hair or requiring daily salon maintenance.

I didn't know what to do those Gray hairs were coming and my Brown hair had lost its luster I had a conseltation with Doree, she LISTENED and suggested the perfect solution, a few soft highlights, a glaze,the perfect cut ( done with Olivia) and I feel and look GREAT. It's a pleasure to go to such a competent, and talented colorist. And such a friendly and professional salon.

Color was NOTHING like what I asked. I went in expecting to dye my current dark brown hair to darker purplish/blackberry color. I had a consult via email prior to the appointment where reference photos were exchanged along with my current hair color. I was told that the color was achievable and even given explanation for the process. I have never left a salon so disappointed in my life. Pieces of hair were bleached throughout my head and then dyed a red color. NOTHING like what I had asked for. I left the salon with a wet head of hair and after just a few days the color had completely washed out

I tried coloring my own hair & after a summer in the sun it turned out so brassy. I needed color correction & found Doree on the internet. The reviews were fantastic so I decided to make an appointment. I'm so glad I did. Doree corrected my color & I could not be happier. I now have a soft natural blonde that compliments my skin tone. Doree is a true professional & explains everything she is doing. The products she used were gentle on my hair. I am so grateful to have found Doree......she is truly an expert in her field. THANK YOU Doree! I will see you soon. Annette

Doree has been cutting my hair for at least 7 years. I have been extremely pleased and have received many compliments. I love the hair color .It is very natural and has the appearance of highlights even though it is a single process.
Doree's suggestions for style and hair care have always been excellent. I highly recommend her.
