    This was my first time seeing Xander, but it definitely won’t be my last. He has great energy and so many thoughtful ideas. I’ve always had really thick hair, but it’s thinned out quite a bit over the past year. He showed me how to style it so it looks fuller and my scalp is no longer visible. I’m so happy I found my go-to hair person. 🙏

    Scheduled a last minute cut I was overdue. Eli is newer and did my cut and color. I had some discolored hair from a temp dye that I tried during Covid. They did a great job color matching. There were interesting stories the whole time and they paid close attention to their work. It's a very casual inclusive vibe that makes sense for the neighborhood. It was a bit of a longer service but they forewarned me due to them being newer. Give them a try and help build their clientele!

    I don’t know why it keeps surprising me, but every single time I leave a session with Edward I feel like a brand new *best* version of myself. Thank you Edward! You are amazing and I appreciate you.
