I have curly/wavy hair and haircuts were always a struggle for me...until I found this studio. For the first time in my life I can honestly say that I leave a salon loving my hair and feeling really confident.
My first haircut was with Cherish and my second appointment was with Cassandra. They are both professional and equally talented. You can't go wrong with either!

Iโ€™ve followed Cherish to three different studios over the last handful of years, and I now drive over an hour to see her because she is just that good. Iโ€™ve always struggled with finding the right cuts and products for my curly hair. Cherish has completely earned my trust by always listening to my wants and concerns and only cutting and coloring to my comfort level. Cherish asks lots of questions about my hair tendencies, routine, and product and always gives excellent advice. I always enjoy my time in the studio with her as she is friendly, professional, clean, and is carefully following COVID

I met with Cherish today for an appointment for my 2.5 year old biracial daughter. I hoped for a haircut and education, and Cherish did an amazing job with both. The studio took wonderful Covid-19 precautions and we were the only ones there. Cherish was great with my squirmy toddler and gave her a cute trim. I so appreciated the education about her hair and products as well as how to use them and protective styles. Cherish not only verbally told me but also emailed me the information. Above and beyond customer service.

After not getting my hair cut for several years (haircut anxiety, prior awful customer service experiences) I decided to bite the bullet and let someone else do the work. With a little research I found Cassandra and Crystal Skull. If youโ€™re looking for an affirming, collaborative, and friendly environment, you will find it here. Cassandra was engaging, understanding, and incredibly talented. I have never felt more at ease in a salon chair. Cassandra and Crystal Skull have gained a new regular. If youโ€™re looking for edgy, eclectic, or just a place to not feel judged, book a cut or color here

I was really struggling with my curls so I sent them an message and couldn't have been more pleased with my decision. I believe my stylists name was Cassandra and she made my hair feel so much healthier and really taught me a lot about my hair. She was super fun to talk to and has the coolest hair. Thank you so much!!

I absolutely love this studio! I have super fragile, thin, 3C hair and have always wanted to dye my hair a fun color. I was scared bleach and dye would ruin my curl pattern. Cherish walked me through everything and made sure that the quality of my hair came first. Also, I had a very specific color in mind and she was able to mix her dyes to the exact color.
Now I have absolutely amazing pink hair and my curl pattern was not altered at all! She definitely knows what she is doing!

The place I normally take my curly haired 11 year old daughter just shut down so I was nervous trying to find a new place to take her. Cherish was wonderful! She talked about all the different options with my daughter and made sure she was getting just the cut she wanted. And she did! My daughter was dancing the whole way home just thrilled with her new cut.
I also felt completely comfortable with all the precautions being taken in these strange times. 100% happy and will recommend.

I can't express how AMAZING Cherish is. This was HANDS DOWN the most amazing haircut I have EVER had. I have curly hair and people always mess it up some way or another. With this haircut I gained my happiness back AND my confidence back .
I literally got into the car and burst into tears because of how amazing it turned out. Worth the hour and a half drive. If you have second guesses, throw them out the window. Cherish knows EXACTLY what to do. She is knowledgable and extremely patient.
I can't wait for my next cut ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…

When you have naturally curly hair you know how easy it is for a haircut to go bad, really bad. So trying someone new can be scary. From the initial consultation I loved Cherish’s vibe. She’s great at what she does and just a great person too. She gave me an awesome cut that remedied all my hair’s craziness and she also fixed my color. I walked out feeling beautiful and that fact tells you everything!

I recently decided to take a leap and get a dramatic haircut/color for the first time in over a decade. I was extremely nervous and have been pretty apprehensive about finding the right hairdresser, but seeing how glowingly positive all of Crystal Skull's clients speak of their work I decided to get in touch with Cherish and schedule an… appointment. I cannot even put into words how absolutely fabulous of a job she did and how great of an experience I had overall! Cherish is knowledgeable, friendly, and has a great sense of artistry in her work. I had an alright idea of what I wanted going

Loving my haircut, Cherish is great with curly hair. The salon was really cozy as well, and I loved that they feature local tea and art. Looking forward to returning on my next trip to Michigan!
