"I'VE NEVER HAD SOMEONE NAIL COLOR THE WAY SHE DID ON THE FIRST ROUND."
Renee is amazing. I've never had someone nail color the way she did on the first round. I came in once for a cut and she was great so I booked color (blonde balayage with shadow roots) and so happy I did. It looks effortlessly natural and she's a joy to sit in a chair with for 2+ hours. Also I would pay just to come and get a scalp massage from her because her shampoo massages are straight bliss.

"TONI IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!
SHE IS AMAZING WITH
COLOR AND CURLS"
Toni is the absolute best! I've been coming here since 2014 (back when it was Blow! Salon) and will follow her if she ever leaves. She is amazing with color and curls, and she's overall such a genuine fun person to chat with every time.

"AN AWESOME SPOT THAT'S FUN TO BE IN AND FEELS LIKE HOME."
Verena is the absolute best stylist there ever was. She has an awesome spot that's fun to be in and feels like home. Not only is Verena great at what she does, she kind and warm, which makes the whole experience one-of-a-kind. Everyone should get their hair taken care of here.

"My hair has never been happier."
I am so happy with this salon and my stylist, Julia. My hair has never been happier. Julia is a curly hair expert and seems to know my hair better than I do! I trust her knowledge and her expertise with my hair... something I have never been able to say in my 40 years of curls!!!!!
Julia is kind and an absolute delight to spend time with.
This was the first time visiting this adorable location. I can't wait to come back!

First time and Toni was amazing! She made sure every strand was perfect and spent so much time and attention on just a simple cut. Will be going back!
