Xiomara and Claudia are truly the best hairdressers! From the moment you sit in their chairs, you can feel their professionalism and kindness. They take the time to listen, and they always do their very best to give you a quality haircut that fits your style perfectly. What makes them stand out even more is how much they genuinely love what they do, you can see their passion in every detail.
Not only are they talented and dedicated, but they are also bilingual, which makes communication easy and welcoming for everyone. Whether you’re looking for a fresh new look or just a trim, Xiomara and Claudia will make sure you leave feeling confident and cared for.
Highly recommended!
