    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 👍🏼

    Absolutely love coming here. Only place that I have been able to get the results I want for a longer men’s hair style. Ella is also very fun and interesting to talk too. Would highly recommend!

    Ella is amazing! She is very passionate about her job and keeps up to date with trends. She will steer you in the right direction when it comes to your hair type! She gave me some helpful tips for my hair that no stylist has ever given me! Not only is she good at what she does but she is also very kind and inviting! I will definitely be going back!
