“I had the best experience with Daisy. I went in with photos of what I thought i wanted, and she took the time to examine my hair, curl pattern, face shape, etc... and gave me a cut that incorporated all the pictures and exactly what I wanted. After Daisy finished with me my curls were soft, bouncy, and simply JUICY. My hair looks and feels healthier. She definitely knows curly hair! I totally love my hair now.“

“I honestly don’t know what I’d do if I hadn’t Heavenly! She was upbeat and so assuring. If I EVER get this awful stuff again, I’ll run to her. She explained the price and process. It actually felt good to feel the cool smell of eucalyptus oil on my head as well as When she count through. I was sent home with a kit to continue to treat it, and she told me exactly what to do with our house and items were previously. Mostly, her professionalism and amazing attitude, along with the ingredients she used makes this place a 10. Thank you Heavenly!!!!! Oh, and she got me in that day and the pricing was in half of the other places. She loves her job because she gets to make peoples head free again!“

“Elle is the absolute sweetest ? she truly cares about her work and is such a good person inside and out ? I am so happy with my results and my hair is so healthy and strong, she gave me exactly what I wanted!“

“I’m genuinely speechless from the haircut I received from Lia. She is an absolute hair magician. I felt right at home despite feeling a little nervous to chop off so much hair.

She walked me through her entire process and shared so much valuable product and industry knowledge. I cannot recommend her enough, especially if you have curly/textured hair!! I mean it when I say this is the BEST salon and the best hair cut I’ve ever had. Beyond grateful and happy. ❤️❤️❤️“

“I had such a wonderful experience at Smoothed Salon today! I originally booked my appointment after seeing Kaylie go viral on TikTok for her incredible work with women who have textured hair, and I was so excited to finally meet her in person. I’m happy to say she is exactly the same in real life as she is online, warm, knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely kind.

From the moment I sat in her chair, Kaylie took the time to ask thoughtful questions and provided a thorough consultation. I immediately felt heard and confident that my hair was in good hands. She explained everything clearly, listened to my goals, and made sure I understood the process.

Not only was the service excellent, but she also worked efficiently, my appointment only took a few hours, which I really appreciated. The entire experience was enjoyable, from the conversation to the atmosphere, and most importantly, my hair looks absolutely gorgeous. I could not be happier with the results.

Before I left, Kaylie walked me through post-wash/post-keratin care instructions, gave me practical tips for maintaining my results, and offered encouragement that made me feel confident moving forward in my hair journey. That level of care and attention really stood out to me.

If you have textured hair and have been considering booking with Kaylie, do it, the hype is real. I’m already looking forward to coming back in a few months!“

“As someone with thick, dark hair who loves dramatic blonde highlights, finding a stylist who can achieve a high lift without completely damaging my hair has always been a massive challenge. Enter Vida! She is incredibly talented, kind, and a true master of her craft. Vida beautifully balayaged my hair and seamlessly color-corrected a whole year’s worth of terrible color and old highlights. She took such meticulous care over several hours to ensure my hair stayed healthy and vibrant while achieving the exact look I wanted. I absolutely loved my experience and will be a client for life. Thank you, Vida!“

“Vivian was awesome. She was kind and knowledgeable. I got a cut and balayage that looks amazing.“

“Susie was amazing with my curls! She made them bouncier than they have ever been! Having curly hair it’s so difficult to find a stylist who knows how to care for them, Susie knows curls inside and out. She not only listened to what I wanted but gave me tips and tricks that have kept my hair looking like I just stepped out of the salon for weeks now. She may be hard to find but she is so worth the search!“
