I had my 1st appointment today with Michelle and her instructor, Mr Chris. Michelle is well on her way to being a wonderful hair stylist. She listens, is very patient and I found the entire time to be very relaxing and rejuvenating. (She also gives the best head massage). My hair is perfect, exactly what I wanted, color, cut. I love it!! Mr Chris’s students are very lucky to have him. What an instructor!! I have never, til today, been mesmerized by watching a blade hair cut. I will certainly be going back! Thank you Michelle and Mr. Chris ❤️

I had a back facial done by Marlayna and it was awesome! I felt so relaxed and she even got rid of the redness on my back. As a person with sensitive skin and eczema I have to say she definitely took that into consideration when picking which products to use because I left with no added redness or irritation. I would definitely recommend Marlayna if you are thinking about having any services done here.

Had the Euro Facial with Shalanda and it was amazing. Very attentive and professional. The facial massage with the exfoliation and steam treatment was everything. I'll def return for other services and will be requesting Shalanda as my skin care specialist.
