I have been back twice now, Jillian is amazing. She always makes me feel and look great despite having no idea what to do with my hair, ever. I love being able to stack my appts and get my hair and a massage or waxing done at the same time.

This place is so awesome! It's a big and well decorated place with such nice people. Mimi did my hair and gave me layers and such a beautiful burgundy color. She educated me on every single she did and I will definitely be coming back here!
