Made an appointment for a last minute birthday trim and was grateful to see that Skye had an opening since I was previously her client at the salon's former location. I remembered how much I loved my cut then, along with how knowledgeable Skye is with all things hair, how friendly she is with sharing that wealth of knowledge, and how how her skills ultimately show for it! I had an unexpected commitment scheduled right after the appointment, and I SO appreciated Skye being accommodating and understanding - literally going turbo speed WITHOUT compromising the quality of the cut, and still being able to chat about my hair, and other non-hair related topics. While Skye surely channeled some additional Leo/fabulous energy for today's birthday cut, what I love the most is that I felt treated the same at my last appointment over four years ago. Definitely becoming a regular after today. Thanks, Skye! I LOVE my haircut :)
I moved and had to find a new stylist and I get so scared trusting people with my hair but they did not disappoint!! Eric did an AMAZING job with the balayage and cut! I could tell he genuinely cared about my hair and the result. Everyone in there was soo kind and I loved that it was such a queer friendly place! I usually only get my hair done once a year but may have to start going more often bc I loved their vibes!
They are just simply amazing!! I do not have enough nice things to say about Tice. She did just an amazing job fixing my hair from a previous bad hair coloring. She was able to completely transform my hair and achieve the exact look I was going for, though it was a drastic transformation. Both Patrick and Tice are fun, warm and made me feel so comfortable. Their communication via phone and email is amazing, and quick. The salon is clean and all staff wear masks, gloves. 100% recommend them.
I really love my hair! Nice people, very good professionals, clean place, following all the covid-19 care and instructions. 5 stars no doubt!!! Fyi: I got a balayage full or partial, not sure, and yes, you can't see much but that's how I wanted. Just some chocolate color, since I never colored my hair before haha Thanks to Erika! 🙏
I would highly recommend Tricia Howard. I have been going to her for almost a year now and she is wonderful. She has great customer service, professional and strives to understand what look you are trying to obtain. She takes care of all my hair needs. She also colors my hair, highlights and retouches my roots. And I get compliments everyday when I go out. She just did my latest color last week. And that very day I had three compliments. Please go see Tricia.
