Kate cut my hair and did a great job. She was not only talented as a stylist, but also very kind and really listened to what I wanted done. I was also impressed with how clean and orderly this salon was. And the music was pleasant and at a nice volume.

I’ve been going to Tammy in the Concord/Clayton store for a few years now. She’s worked with me through growing my hair out to its natural color (white!) from many years of coloring it auburn and through a variety of styles from shoulder length to short, wavy, straightened, curly…

I've been coming to this location for years and they have always taken care of me. This location was on the way home so I'd stop by after work. Since I work from home now, I've also started going to Empire and found out they are the same owner.
Both stores are great so I bounce between them when I need a cut. This last time, Brooke cut my hair and listened to me tell her about my son and his life. I always look forward to getting a buzz and chatting with the stylists. They all do a great job!
