    Been here three times now, and as long as Irina is there, I will keep going back. The overall service by the salon is fantastic, the products they use always leave my hair feeling so healthy. I have had my hair cut, colored, bleached by Irina, and she is absolutely 10/10, excellent hairdresser. The first time I went to her, I got a warm caramel-esque balayage and she did it sooooo well. I have since gotten my hair colored and cut by her as well, and she does an excellent job every time. Definitely recommend!

    Parking is easy near the salon too, though it is paid.

    I absolutely loved Maru!

    I got my hair cut by Brooklyn and she was incredible. The attention and care she put into really understanding what works best for my curly hair was amazing.

    The entire staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, and, genuinely, my hair has never looked better!
