    I NEED Aubrey to be held accountable!

    For making my hair look so criminally good!? Had a great 5-10 min convo at the beginning about my hair vision and I feel like they killed it. They gave me layers on layers, with a cute fairy-like peek-a-boo ear framing. I’m so impressed with their styling of curly hair!

    They don’t have curly hair themselves, but were able to so kindly tell me so many things about my hair. Can’t recommend a haircut with Aubrey enough ! :-)

    Ten did an amazing job! I wanted to brighten my highlights and tone out the brassiness, and he got the color exactly how I wanted it. He was friendly, communicative, and made sure i was satisfied throughout the process. He also gave me long layers and a fresh haircut that added more volume to my hair. Highly recommend!

    Ashley is the best. I feel like it’s a friend doing my hair everytime, she knows exactly what I want, I don’t even have to let her know. She’s a hair wizard, she knows the vision and exceeds my expectations. I ended up on chair by accident as the stylist who was supposed to do my hair was out, and I’m so happy that happened! Book with her, you will not be disappointed!
