Ella is the best!! Came for highlights and layered hair cut and she did amazing. Takes her time to listen and come up with solutions for what will work and look best for your hair! Also gives great hair product recommendations specific for your needs
Ella does amazing work. Everytime I leave my hair is blended and beautiful. She’s honest and tells me what actually will look good and how we can accomplish it. My hair always looks so natural and has gotten so much healthier since I started going to her.
So glad I found Ella’s tucked-away salon on Broadway! Ella is a great option if you’re planning to grow your hair out and want a more structured approach.
On my first visit, we talked about a long term plan for growing out my hair, and three visits in, I’m really happy with my current look! Excited to keep growing it out under Ella’s careful care.
I’ve never felt rushed with Ella, although a few appointments have started late, not a big deal with a heads-up 👍🏼
