I came in for a haircut with a few inspo pictures and my stylist delivered!! Evie was my stylist but several students and instructors were engaged and involved! They took time to figure out exactly what my vision for the cut was and checked in throughout the haircut. At the end of the cut when styling, several instructors came over and offered learning opportunities for other students and made sure my hair was perfect. Could not have asked for a better experience

I got blessed when I scheduled a bang trim months ago because I was booked with Evie. Evie did my vivid color and butterfly cut and truly took my hair from 0 to 100. I’m so so grateful to be their client and for doing wonders with my hair.

I’ve been going to this salon for over a year now and I don’t go anywhere else anymore. Thank you Aveda and thank you Evie!!
