I loved every minute of my time with their stylist DaShae she kept me comfortable and informed through every process. The color and cut turned out so amazing! Thank you so much for my beautiful color it surpassed the picture I had in my mind and the cut made me feel more beautiful than I have in years. Customer for life!

I canโ€™t say enough positive things about my experience with Daโ€™Shae at Shear Excellence Salon. My 4-year-old son and I have been loyal clients for almost 2 years. Shae has the patience of a saint when it comes to braiding his hair, and she makes it such a positive experience for him. As for my hair, she kills the cut and color every time. Sheโ€™s the only stylist Iโ€™ve ever had that does exactly what I want and makes it look great every single time. She also puts my hairโ€™s health above everything, which is really nice. Iโ€™ve also had waxing services done by a few of the estheticians, and they were so sweet and were able to get me right in. This salon and its employees deserve 10/5 stars.

I had services completed by Tiara, she was extremely friendly and professional. My hair is extremely curly in the type 4 mostly and relatively long. She shampooed and deep conditioned my hair so my silk press came out flawless and she took care of my dead ends. As someone who has a lot of anxiety regarding salons caring for my hair Iโ€™m very pleased and will definitely return to see Tiara.

I canโ€™t say enough how much I love my visits with Jen! She always does such an amazing job on my hair and I leave feeling 1000% better every single time! I included just 2 pictures out of the several masterpieces Jen has created with my mop of hair ;). Shear Excellence is also a beautiful salon and all the stylists are so friendly and welcoming!
