Bianca was so sweet and did a great job on my hair. She was very excited to do a “fun and sexy” cut for me. I will definitely go back to her.

My daughter needed a trim. She has very thick hair. I made an appointment online, we arrived waited maybe 5 minutes for our appointment. The stylist checked in several times to make sure it was the right way. She had such a great experience She went again several months later. I'm sorry to read some negative comments but good communication with a stylist BEFORE beginning a haircut is a bug part of leaving the salon happy. It's a budget hair salon,great value for the service.
