    Lan is amazing! This was literally my best haircut ever. She gave me great advice for styling and keeping my hair healthy. Lan was also super professional and truly is an artist when it comes to hair! Rest of the staff was very nice as well. This is now my go-to place for my haircuts!

    Hair type: Wavy, fine-yet-thick brunette hair.

    Stylist: Katie Vidrine
