Hair Foil & Highlights
We specialize in crafting multi-dimensional results through meticulous foiling that blends highlights and lowlights seamlessly.

The finished look offers anything from subtle enhancement to dramatic change, lasting eight to twelve weeks.

Brazilian Blowouts
Through our Brazilian Blowout service, we help transform unruly, damaged hair into smooth, manageable strands that last up to 12 weeks. The service is performed quickly, typically within 80 minutes. Immediate styling and washing are permitted after the appointment. The treatment adapts to straight, wavy, or coily textures. It also pairs well with color applications and transitions from prior smoothing treatments.
Keratin Treatments
Our keratin treatments offer a reliable solution for reducing frizz and improving hair manageability through high-quality, formaldehyde-free formulas. We tailor each service to support diverse hair textures, helping achieve smoother, shinier results that endure for several months. This process also shortens styling time while enhancing overall hair appearance. Many clients trust our team for dependable smoothing results.

Ashley installed 14 inch tape in extensions to my pixie cut, ear length hair and idk how she did it but she is has some insane talent. Not only did she color match my hair (which has always been difficult) , but she blended the extensions in flawlessly and the wavy texture matches my natural texture so nicely! Overall I am I obsessed with my new mermaid locks! I definitely recommend the ladies at Milk and Honey.

Ashley is fantastic! I came in for a cut, and wasnt totally sure what I wanted. I heard she did a really good job so I pretty much said whatever you want Im cool with. My hair is amazing! Couldnt have chosen a better style. Not only that its a really fun vibe and a great place to be, 10 out of 10 recommend!

I needed my hair extensions back in for an event but also I missed having them in. This was my first time meeting Ashley and it was truly amazing. It was like I was just hanging out with a bunch of my girlfriends. She made me feel very comfortable and she killed it on my hair. Def recommend!!!!

Found Ashley on a whim through Google, and honestly? Best random decision ever. She killed my haircut my hair feels insanely healthy and looks so fresh. She is really good at what she does, but what made the whole thing even better is how easy she is to vibe with. Super chill, good convo, no awkward moments just an all-around great experience. Already excited to come back and get my color done. If youre even thinking about booking with her, just go for it. You wont regret it.

I recently moved to North Carolina and had been struggling to find a hair stylist - until now! Ashley is an absolute gem. From the moment I sat in her chair, she made me feel so comfortable, like I was catching up with an old friend. Her warmth and easygoing nature made the appointment fly by. She went above and beyond, taking the time to perfect every detail and even styling my hair beautifully afterward. I cant recommend her enough!

Ashley is the best! Over the many years as my stylist shes done highlights, lowlights, foilyage, and balayage as well as cuts from just a dusting to layers. No matter what I get it always looks great and she does a fantastic job making sure I get the results I want while keeping my hair healthy without sacrificing the length I like. Ashley is a color expert and I wont let anyone else touch my hair but her. Plus side - shes a great listener and SO fun to talk to!

I've been driving an hour away to Cary, NC for Ashley to do my balayage and hand-tied extensions. She's been doing my hair for 10 years now and when I moved, there was no way I was leaving her! Ashley is up to date on modern trends and is more than fairly priced.

This was the first salon Ive ever been to so I was pretty nervous and unsure of exactly what I wanted to do to my hair. Ashley was extremely helpful in providing different ideas for what to do and ultimately we decided on doing a balayage!! The results were better than I could have ever imagined!! Shes a miracle worker!!!
