I have been seeing Mujda for almost 20 years and every time I go she always provides the best service imaginable. Ever cut and colour is perfect and she is always supportive of trying something new!Posted on Google Athena DattomoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been going to this salon for the last two and a half years and I can’t tell you how glad I am that I found them. Amanda is AMAZING and really knows how to make your hair look great!! She is knowledgeable and really takes the time to listen to what you want. My hair has never looked and felt better and I owe it all to her!! All of the staff is sweet and so personable and I genuinely love going in for my scheduled appointments. If you’re looking for a new salon I would highly recommend them. I wish I had found them years ago!!!Posted on Google Ania CzokTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a first great time experience today with Gustavo! He was very polite, informative but best of all listened to my needs and made my whole experience comfortable and pleasant. Highly recommend, the staff work well and the business is cared for! PS the best coffee in town!Posted on Google Carol Anne ProsjeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Carmen is an award winning hairdresser. Love the cut, and his advice. My hair is super fine. He has made it look full again! Yes, this salon is a little pricey, but you pay for quality. Remember, the bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price. And for less money, you might get a bad cut and there's nothing worse than a bad cut!Posted on Google Travis LundyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kind people
