    I had my first visit last week for a haircut. I’ve been growing my hair out and that is generally a long process to get it looking good. Well, I was really impressed. Tara dealt with my various layers (from when it was short) really well. They really take their time to do a thorough job in this salon. From the shampoo (complete with lovely scalp massage) to the styling it’s a good experience. I’m very happy with the result. It’s also very reasonably priced for what you get.

    Been going here for 8 years for coloring, cut and style. Both stylists do a wonderful job with both men and women, but owner Mindy has been my stylist. She is wonderful and gives great head massages during wash/rinses on the new fancy beds just for that purpose! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Honestly one of the best haircuts I’ve ever gotten. For context, I’m an Asian dude with way too much straight thick hair and I usually like getting something that most shops can’t do for some reason. 2 block undercut with some style. Impossible to find in north county from my experience, but boy did I find it today. My stylist was not only amazing, she was precise, thorough and just had the keen sense a professional stylist would. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and I got exactly what I asked for. Super nice ladies, I’m sure they’re all A-1 at their jobs. Left super satisfied and happy I don’t look like Lord Fardquaad anymore. 10/10 would recommend...read full review
