I had a wonderful experience with my hairstylist! Elaina Chacom was incredibly thorough, taking the time to listen to what I wanted and making sure every detail was perfect. Her kind and calming demeanor made the whole appointment enjoyable from start to finish. I left feeling confident and cared for—highly recommend!

Alondra did an amazing job! I got the awaken scalp facial done and it left my scalp the cleanest it has ever been! I struggle a lot with my scalp and she made sure to get in there the best she can and get all the stuff building up on my scalp off. She’s very professional and has a great attitude and knows what she’s doing! I would definitely recommend and have her do it again!

Taja I am Absolutely obsessed with my silk press! Taja is a true expert and master at her craft. From the moment I sat in her chair, I felt taken care of and confident I was in the best hands. My hair is bone straight, silky, bouncy, and full of life — with zero damage and so much shine. She is extremely knowledgeable about hair health, heat protection, and maintaining results, which made the experience even better. My hair lasted through humidity, sleep, and daily styling and still looked flawless. If you are in Colorado Springs and want someone who actually cares about the health of your hair while giving you luxury results, she is the one. Do not walk — RUN to her chair. 10/10 experience and I will 100% be back!
