Serissa is AMAZING. I did something totally new and out of my comfort zone with my hair, and she absolutely exceeded my expectations. Even during the consultation before my appointment, she was super honest, made sure I was confident in my decision, and made me feel right at home! The day of my appointment she did an awesome job at educating me on the health of my hair, the maintenance of my new color, and answered any questions I had. Serissa is so smart (and with more than just hair) and she's great at making you feel comfortable. We yapped the whole time and not once did I feel like I was just a client. The salon/shop is also very clean and welcoming. I've been to multiple stylists in the past and this is by far the best experience I've ever had. She most definitely earned herself a loy

I walked in looking like a discarded Muppet and walked out looking like I’m about to headline a sold-out world tour. Honestly, I’m concerned for my safety because I no longer recognize the person in the mirror, and my own dog growled at me because he thought a high-end fashion model had broken into the house. If you’re looking to disappear and start a new life as a much more attractive version of yourself, ARNEL!! is the only person I’d trust with the job.You leave this place with the satisfaction of new person!

On memorial day my son had an appointment with a different barber, when his dad brought him home it unfortunately wasn’t the mohawk type look I was aiming for. I called this shop and Arnell stayed open on Memorial Day so I could run him in and get his hair fixed! He did a great job, very professional, very nice and overall a great vibe for the shop. Here is the before and after.
