"I moved from out of state and was concerned about finding someone who knew how to work with my thyroid-hair. I had lost a LOT of hair while I had thyroid and parathyroid tumors (and doctors kept refusing to order the labs I requested). My hair became thinner and more fine. (Thyroid hair is thin at the front/top and it is dry and scraggly looking around the face) Denise took the time to talk, listen and make recommendations. She also took the time to make sure my allergies and sensitive skin would not react to the products she chose for me before shampooing and styling. We also discussed what I like and don't like and set some goals for future changes. She did a great job cutting and styling my hair and left me with fuller looking hair. The products she used also helped my hair look fuller. The ladies were all friendly and welcoming. I am so glad this was the first place I went when I moved here. I will not need to keep searching."

"I have long, white, curly hair and have always struggle to find someone that understand cutting curly hair. I'm also one that doesn't like a lot of products on my hair. Sarah was recommended to me and I found her to be very professional and knowledgeable. The cut is great and she really took the time to find out how I take care of my hair and give me techniques and suggestions that fit with my lifestyle."

"Denise is amazing! I came in with a awful haircut that needed to be fixed. She made me feel comfortable and confident she would fix it. She took her time to analyze my hair and talk through how she would fix it. She has years of experience under her belt and passion that can really be seen in the haircut. I will definitely be back."

"I have very curly hair and have always been anxious about getting my haircut. I set my first appointment with a first time curly cut with Bre. She was phenomenal! Listened to my concerns and walked me the whole process. I got most of my hair chopped off( about mid back dry and curled, to just below my chin) and left feeling happy and informed. I just came back in for my 12 week trim and was in and out with an awesome cut. I can’t recommend them enough. I tell all my curly haired friends to come out here, if you have any doubts, give them a chance. They won’t disappoint"

"I have had 5+ perms in my lifetime, Denise talked with me and after she heard what I was looking for/what I would like to do differently from the past perms she trimmed my hair and put more curler rods in! She gave me the most natural looking, curly perm that I have ever had! It still looks just as good as when she did it for me a month or so ago! Denise is so friendly, made me feel comfortable, and runs a wonderful salon! Thank you Denise!!!"
