Best color and cuts I've ever had.

Thanks to Desiree at 526, the fact that I'm fairly hair illiterate no longer matters. She did perfectly the exact color I wanted after I had tried other places that just didn't get it right. (I'll admit that...

Walked down the street =(

I just went in for a simple updo for my friends wedding, the receptionist was EXTREMELY rude, they were nearly 30 minutes behind, and seemed like I was just more of a hassle, than a customer. I ended up having...

Over the past year I've been looking for a stylist because my past stylist retired. I thought I'd check out "526" which is just around the corner from my new place. I made sure I went to an experienced person,...

Average Salon

Generally an average salon however some of the stylists are very rude. My friends had an awful experience getting their updos for a wedding and were really disappointed with the service.

Picky about my looks

Had an eyebrow wax and she wouldn't trim my eyebrows ahead of time though I requested it. Eyebrows came out looking patchy. : (Also, overpriced and somewhat pretentious.

I came because of location and reviews. It didn't work out good.
