chic styling salon

Nov 2020

I have only been here twice and both times were a great experience. The owner and stylist extraordinaire - Carlina, is as talented as she is friendly. It really feels like you're visiting a friend when you come in. Her salon has snacks and beverages for you to enjoy too. My most recent appointment was for a cut and color shortly after salons started opening back up with limited capacity. Carlina went above and beyond with her covid safety measures. She was masked and gloved of course and she was constantly disinfecting her tray and tools after each round. Each time we switched rooms (between chair and rinsing), we would change smocks. I really feel for salon owners as I'm sure the additional laundry, disposable smocks, PPE, and wipes really increase their cost of running business. Anyway.... I needed Carlina to fix my pandemic hair. I had the bottom of my hair dipped in blue before and everything was faded, hair grown back pretty unevenly, and super dry on the ends from bleaching. She trimmed the damaged ends and respected my wishes of not chopping off all the damaged parts. I absolutely hate it when the person with the scissors decides what they're going to cut and completely disregards my wishes for my hair. You don't have to worry about that with Carlina! Her daughter also has her hair dyed blue, so she was very comfortable getting creative with the different shades. I gave her free reign here to make my hair look unique and I couldn't be happier with the results! Just look at the photos!! She used cobalt, sapphire and periwinkle. I'm totally in love with her work! Another thing I really appreciate about Carlina is that she wants you to take care of your hair once you go home so she sends you off with a care package. It's been my experience at other hair places that they take that opportunity to pressure you into buying all kind of products. Instead, Carlina sends you home with a baggie of sample sized products as aftercare (sort of like a dentist will send you home with a toothbrush, floss and mini toothpaste). She provided a small tube of Keep Me Vivid cream along with enough small packets to easily last over a month. I can't speak highly enough about this salon, the service, skill and attention to all the details. Pre and mid-pandemic, I've enjoyed my visits and really hope whoever is reading this will book an appointment to experience this too!

Carlina is the best! I stumbled upon this salon a year ago looking to get soft layers for long black hair. Carlina did an awesome job and was very knowledgeable at bringing my dull hair back to life. Not only did she do a great job at my hair cut, but her family made me feel at home. I came back again this year looking to cut my long black hair again and possibly get a color. I asked for a medium cut and mocha brown balayage. She did more than what I expected! I love my hair so much more and it was such a fun experience with laughs and great conversations. I highly recommend coming to this salon.

First of all, Carlina and her family are hilarious. Not only did I get my hair done here, but I had a great time talking to her and her family. I came to Carlina for a messy updo for a wedding. I made an appointment over the phone and she texted me to send pictures of my hair and what I wanted to get done. She gave me a quote and reminded me to wash my hair the night before coming in. You can tell she takes the time to talk to her clients. I had an appointment at 10am and we finished around 11am. She was super nice, listened to everything I asked for, and didn't push me to do anything I didn't want to. I'm pretty picky about how my hair is done but Carlina made my hair look great. I got a lot of compliments at the wedding. I will definitely be back! Thank you, Carlina!
