I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience here! First off it’s a nice atmosphere, very clean and professional and I’m always made at home with kindness from staff. I get compliments on my haircuts, too! 10/10 would recommend to my friends and family!
I saw Valerie, the owner, for a curly cut and face-framing highlights. Valerie is a dream—she is an expert at her craft and understands curly/wavy hair like no one else I’ve seen. She is incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to really listen, explain her process, and tailor everything to my specific hair type and goals.
While the color wasn’t quite right after my first visit, what truly set Valerie apart was her professionalism and integrity. When I reached out, she responded immediately and got me back in right away to make it right—at no charge. That level of care and accountability is rare and deeply appreciated.

I got my haircut at V salon a while ago for the first time. Salon is super well kept and pretty sure I had Megan as my stylist. I booked a long haircut wash/blowdry. The haircut was about 1/2 inch off my hair and just refreshing some long layers/face framing. Probably took like 45 minutes tops. Megan was super nice.
Only thing I will say is this is a boutique salon and I knew it was pricey, but $70 for a wash/dry and a half inch off my hair is very expensive. I probably won’t get regular haircuts here due to that. Nonetheless, she was nice and I was satisfied with my haircut!
