    I had my first experience with Annie at Rare Byrd Salon this week. I unfortunately entered the salon with my hair looking like a dumpster fire. Bad previous haircut & damaged hair. Annie did her magic turning this ugly mess into a master piece. I’ve received so many compliments already, thank you Annie! A bonus is this salon has a very welcoming vibe. No mean girls, just stylists doing their art. I have made another appointment with Annie. You have a life long client.
