Ive never been to a hair salon that felt so right. The space is beautiful and the service exceptional. I was suprised that the staff was so friendly and the service from start to finish was perfect. I had my color done by Emily and my haircut with Nikki, without a doubt I recommend them both! You wont be sorry.
