- KWKelly WilliamsNov 2, 20255.0Amey is the absolute best. She went above and beyond for me and my daughter. My daughter is autistic and hates getting her hair cut but Amey made her feel safe, and welcome. Plus, perfect hair cuts- exactly what we wanted. From the time we got there, from the time we left- great atmosphere. What a fantastic place!
- MWM WattersOct 22, 20251.0Update 1 - A detailed letter of the issues was sent to customer service (CS) the day after the incident. CS stated I would be contacted in a timely manner. Original 10/22/25 - Avoid Amy at all cost! Run, hide, cut your own hair! Do anything not to see her.
- VVVickiOct 16, 20255.0Anita gives the best cut!! I told her I had to Alabama from California to finally find a great hair dresser!!!! Thanks so much! ❤️
- MHMartha HidenOct 2, 20255.0Anita is THE BEST! I’ve followed her from place to place for years. I even went to a different city to get her to cut my hair.
- RURachael UpchurchAug 10, 20255.0Got to this location 15 minutes before closing time. I was greeted by a kind, patient and professional stylist named Stephanie. She got me checked in and told me that it would be a few minutes. Jasmine cut my hair and she did a wonderful job! I haven't had a haircut in years and needed a few inches cut off. Jasmine was enjoyable to talk to, very personable and made me feel right at home. I would definitely recommend this salon.
