Jessica was on time and very knowledgeable. She was a good listener but also gave her honest opinion about what will work best for my hair. I appreciated that! I really like my haircut. I will definitely be going back. No weird stragglers of hairs that were missed a very skillful cut. Curly girl approved. Added a photo of my hair the next day out with friends.

This place is always very professional. I have been coming here since they opened in 2015 and followed the owner from her previous salon prior to here! Friendly, honest, transparent, lots of integrity making me feel very confident in her ability to guide me in the right direction so I have good AND super healthy hair :)

I've been getting my haircut by Emmily for over three years. I honestly consider my hair an accessory so I have gone through many a transformation with Emmily. I've had long and naturally wavy, to long and colored purple, to a blond bob, to an asymmetrical thing. Emmily is always very communicative and curious about my short and long term vision for my hair and able to let me know when I'm doing too much and I may have unrealistic expectations. Her prices are fair and she responds to my random text/pictures about how my current bob is growing out and gives me styling advice. I've referred several other natural curly folks to her and they love her.

After seeing so many positive reviews I wanted to give this place a shot. I’ve been looking high and low for a place to cut & color my natural 4c hair & I thought I’d found the place. I booked an appointment for a Curly Haircut and single process color with Jessica Lee. The day before the appointment, the stylist texts me to ask for a picture of my hair. After a quick back and forth, the stylist then asks if it would be ok for her & a coworker to team up to do my hair because she can do the coloring but doesn’t feel comfortable cutting my ‘texture’. I immediately agree because I want whatever’s going to produce the best outcome. Almost immediately after she tells me that the service may cost more because she may need to bleach my hair. I have a strict budget I need to stay on & told her so, asking for the price of the haircut on top of the new price she quoted me. After dodging my question about the price twice & asking me if I want to cancel before even trying to find a solution, her final excuse was that her coworker need to leave early the day of so she couldn’t do the cut anymore & that she was trying to save Me time by asking if I wanted to cancel. After realizing that she just didn’t want to do my hair, I conceded because I didn’t have time for the back & forth, and I’m not going to beg to pay you for a service you’re a supposed professional in. For a salon that’s home page boldly claims ‘all textures welcome’ my hair and I didn’t feel welcome here at all. I am disappointed at the lack of customer service or genuine interest to make this girls hair dream come true. If you want to be disappointed & have your appointment canceled the night before because the stylist can’t handle your hair texture, book ‘hype’ if not book anywhere else. It’s not worth the hype.
