I had an excellent chair facial and haircut. I was my student stylists' first client, and I couldn't be more pleased with the service.

I had an amazing experience with my stylist, Joselyn. She was very sweet and perfectly recreated the hairstyle I wanted. I was astonished by how good she did. I am so excited to show my new hair to everyone. 10/10 would do again!! ☺️

“I had a wonderful experience getting my nails done by Abigail! She was professional, attentive, and took her time to make sure every detail was perfect (even with baby Joshua). Her technique was impressive, and she made sure I was comfortable throughout the process. I appreciate her patience and dedication to her craft. My nails turned out beautifully, and I will definitely be back. Highly recommend Abigail for anyone looking for quality nail services!"
