Just got a great cut from Julie! She was highly skilled and knowledgeable about how to work with my hair type. Best cut I ever had, including when I used to pay ridiculous amounts at high end salons. Never going anywhere else again. Friendly staff at check in. Will definitely recommend! Thanks Julie!
