- KCKatelyn CrookJan 20, 20265.0I come here to get my hair cut by Natalie - I’m always super pleased with the results and my hair is healthier now because of her than it has been in years. She’s really knowledgeable about hair products and has suggested some products to me that I now love. Super professional and friendly. Will definitely continue getting my hair cut by her.
