Alex did a phenomenal job with my fade and beard trim. He took time to learn who I am and what kind of vibe I was going for. He will be a great barber as he continues his journey. Asia welcomed me into her class as a model for a microderm abrasion facial. She did a great job explaining the steps and I felt so comfortable with the group learning. She is a wonderful teacher.

Went in today for a hair color transformation and left with amazing results. Rayleen was fantastic. Not only was she very attentive and welcoming, but her work was thorough and exceeded expectations. Her, along with her very helpful and positive coworkers made the experience very pleasant. I highly recommend her, and this salon for your hair needs. Will definitely be returning!
