I canโ€™t recommend Andrea Morris enough! She is the only person I trust with my extremely long NATURAL red hair, and she never disappoints!! Her attention to detail, expertise, and passion for what she does truly sets her apart. Every appointment is a great experience, her precision and blending technique ensure that my hair never feels choppy or overly fresh after a trimโ€”just seamless and natural every time. I always leave feeling confident and refreshed. If youโ€™re looking for a stylist who truly cares about your hair go visit Andrea!!

I had a great experience here! The salon is super pretty and looks high-end. I had Andrea for the first time and she was amazing! She took such time to make sure I got exactly what I wanted and she did such a beautiful job! She talked me through each step of what she was doing and did a fantastic job on the color and cut: it looks so natural and the color is perfect! I am pretty picky and swore off getting my hair done anymore after a disappointment last year at another salon, but I'm so happy I tried again! I will definitely be booking more appointments with Andrea.

Paris was amazing! Super friendly and easy to talk to! She did a fantastic job and gave me exactly what I wanted. My hair cut was really grown out, and it only took her 10 minutes with her shears to get it back to its healthy and manageable shape. I loved everything about my appointment and I will keep coming back again and again.

Had an amazing experience with a balayage and cut with Kaitlyn! She took her time to listen to what I wanted and not only gave me the color I wanted but also offered to recheck it in a week if it wasnโ€™t exactly perfect. After moving here it took me a long time to find someone I could trust to do my balayage. Hair services are expensive and I wanted to make sure Iโ€™d have someone I could trust with my money and get what I paid for. I wonโ€™t let anyone else touch my hair but Kaitlyn! Thank you so much for your services! She also cuts my kids hair and has been extremely flexible with our scheduling and rescheduling due to illnesses and school. I highly recommend Kaitlyn and the salon!
