New to this stylist, she listened to what I asked her to do and I felt she made a very good cut and blow dry. The salon has a friendly atmosphere and I will go again to the same stylist

Always feel comfortable at the salon. It’s easy to say what I want done and someone washing my hair and giving my head a massage is wonderful.
