- JJJampzee JaeNov 7, 20255.0Chealsea did beautifully!! She is absolutely fantastic!
- KCKayley CaseyOct 4, 20251.0Worst shampoo & blow out I've ever gotten. Not done with the proper technique. She just used a root cream rather than blow drying in the opposite direction for volume. This left my hair looking and feeling greasy. IDK if she was just trying to save time but I came out looking bad. Blowouts should look good leaving a salon and last for at least 4days but this won't last more than one. I would have given a good tip for the time but not if I have to go home and fix the top of my hair. The top is super flat while the sides have volume. Don't go here for a blowout. I shouldve known when I asked for a blowout and they said `like round brush straight?`. No like a blowout. I paid $50 to have to go re wash and blowout my own hair.
- LHLaura HubbellOct 3, 20254.0One grandson got a perfect haircut, the next one was very unsatisfied with his uneven haircut
- KRKatrina RockettSep 26, 20255.0It was totally amazing. I can't remember her name right now. I know it started with a T. She had tattoos and her ears were gauged. She was tall and very pretty. She shaved my sides, washed my hair, and did a blow-dry. Afterward, she used my TYMO to straighten my hair. It was her 1st time using it. She caught on quick. My hair is a different type, but she was amazing. She was impressed with the TYMO. Instead of using a flat iron, the TYMO works way better.
- DPDavid PostulaAug 29, 20253.0Haircut was Great....but Im getting really upset that you are eliminating coupons. All the money I save with the coupon plus more I give to the stylist. Now I tip less because your prices have gone up so much. A fifteen minute haircut should not be 20 bucks.
