    After watching a million YouTube videos on how to style my curly hair and never being able to achieve a effortless result, I booked a curly cut/lesson with Madi. She cut my hair to where my layers fell beautifully and I no longer had a triangle shape haircut. Then she showed me how to use an apply products so that my hair is perfect every single day. I am going to save immense amounts of money because I no longer have to experiment with product. I have 3 products that I apply in the shower and combined with Madi's cutting skills, and showing me how to properly stule my curls, my hair looks bomb every day! And I only have to wash every 3-4 days now. THANK YOU MADI!!!

    Cindy has her team are wonderful! I recently moved to the area and wanted to find a really good curly hair specialist to cut my hair short. I had long hair and wanted something fun.
    Cindy and her team took their time to listen and to cut my hair. Cindy has extensive experience in curly hair and immediately felt like I could trust her. The education and video were a huge plus! Great experience overall! Highly recommend!

    My curls have found their best friend! I'd been searching for a curly specialist in my area for a couple of months, and knew I'd found a gem when I came across Cindy's yelp. Deanna was absolutely amazing! After 2 decades of traumatizing haircuts, I booked the "New Client Custom Curly Cut Experience" with Deanna. I walked in defeated, with frizzy hair and heavy, lifeless curls...but I walked out a totally NEW WOMAN! Not only was Deanna super friendly, sweet and encouraging; her patience and attention to detail was incredible! I shared with her that I'd been trying the "curly hair routine" with products I'd seen all over social...and it just wasn't working for me. Together we discussed my routine/goals and she picked the best routine possible for ME. LET ME TELL YOU...This woman is a LIFE SAVER. I'm currently pregnant, in my last trimester, and the idea of "doing my hair" every day, is just not for me right now...and won't be for a while. But with Deanna's advice, I can go 3-4 days in between washes, and my hair looks STUNNING everyday with minimal effort. And not to mention...my hair has gotten curlier than the day of my service. Like WHAT?! I whole heartedly recommend Deanna, her expertise and all of her product recommendations!! I decided to purchase all but one product that she used on me (totally forgot it) and it's been the best investment I could have made! (Deanna, I'll be back for it asap! Haha) The salon itself is such a great, welcoming environment and provides such an intimate, relaxing experience. My session with Deanna was so thorough, in depth and educational AND I came home with a personalized folder with a step by step of my styling routine, and the products she used. She also provided a video of our session. It does NOT get better than this! I'm so grateful for Deanna, Cindy and Madi. They're such an incredible team, and have truly curated a wonderful experience for us curly folks. This is your sign to BOOK NOW :) Can't wait for my next session!
