    Crystal has been doing my hair for almost 3 years and I absolutely LOVE the way I look each and every time I get out of her chair. She does my teenaged daughter’s hair also. She never “hey love” texts me before my appointments to cancel! She’s professional, communicative, prompt, and talented!

    Crystal is the best and her pricing is VERY REASONABLE!! She is polite and has gentle hands! Every time I get my hair styled by her even with braids, I never leave with a headache or my hair feeling too tight. She is very busy so if she doesn’t respond immediately just follow up, do not take offense, it’s not purposeful!
