First impressions are everything. Not only did I feel welcome and at home at this location, but Kali made me feel important. In our current times, life is tough enough already. Sometimes, I feel insignificant and sort of down in the blues. Kali flipped the script yesterday on the mundane routines that weigh us down. It was a magical experience- genuine, real. Kali is a true queen of the human realm. She listened to me and really showed that what I thought and said was of value, and had meaning. I’ve come to realize all that truly matters in this life is the connections we have. Moments come and go, and it’s a rare surprise of joy when we connect with others who make us feel like we matter. That cannot be taught; that’s virtue and is by definition transcendent in relation to morals or ethics. That’s true love. Anyway, happy to call this home base. Thank you again Lady Kali.

Callie, Alyssa, and Christie are all amazing hairdressers. I normally have them cut my hair. However, I was disappointed today by the hairdresser I had. She was very impolite, rushed me, poor customer service, and not the best at following directions. I requested things to be done for my haircut, but I had to repeat what I wanted done. Also, I ordered a tea tree shampoo and she picked out the wrong one. Otherwise, I have had good and positive experiences in the past until today.
