The owner sounds very kind and gracious in print and as long as you go along with whatever she thinks or wants. Then later, or if you call her on being wrong, the woman is cold, nasty, rude, hurtful. She doesn't listen to clients and is genuinely just not a good person. There are also not enough products to choose from. Have a necessary favorite? Forget her using or attempting to get it. All of her sweet talk... beware of her nastiness later. Not worth using this salon. I'm never going back there. The proprietor is horrible unless you play her game. She is a takeover artist who will not listen

Tamara, the owner, did my hair and I LOVED it. I made an appointment for hair color, wash, deep-conditioner and cut. I went in without any idea of what I wanted and left feeling like she surpassed all of my expectations. She not only did my hair but she also educated me on how to take care of my hair at home, to help avoid hair loss and thinning. I would recommend her to anyone!! :)

Originally I had a great experience in the chair although I did feel pressured to get a lighter color and longer cut than I was planning, and I asked for a full head of highlights and she hand painted (I did not ask for and was not asked if this option was OK) which led to bleeding throughout my hair and what I feel to be over processing.
I get home and my finance and I both (and it takes a lot for him to notice anything) found a lot of blue all throughout my hair and the stylest knew it was there per our phone conversation, however she still let me walk out of the salon with the blue in my hair

I had a great experience. I was in and out, which is a plus. The atmosphere was very inviting and the music was relaxing. She played italian opera which is a breath of fresh air! I had been trying to develop natural styles for 5 years, and it was time for me to give up the fight. My texture would not support a twist out or a curly fro.....i knew it already, and I am glad that she was honest with me. I did end up getting a relaxer and a trim, and left feeling wonderful! Thank you Tamera!

I HIGHLY recommend this salon. Before even knowing that I was greeted by the owner herself, she made me feel exceptionally welcomed as soon as I hit the door. I presented a picture of my hairstyle and she nailed it before she was even finished! She's so kind, attentive, and took her time to make sure the products performed their duty to the fullest. My hair was revived. It's not just a pay check for her, it's a passion and I felt that. 😁 This is my new home.
