Feels great to give back & let students practice their craft! Granted, my hair cuts are simple, but I've always had great service at a great price. There is an instructor that reviews every haircut. It's overall a good experience. Just expect to spend a little more time than normal.
I got a waxing service from Lisa today, and I’m honestly still amazed.
With summer coming up, I wanted to be ready to wear my hair in a ponytail, so I decided to get the back of my neck waxed. And let me just say — I have never experienced a waxing this painless before. Not once.
Yes, she took her time… but that’s exactly what made the difference.
Lisa was different.
She made the entire experience feel so comfortable, stayed calm and confident the whole time, and kept a warm smile that truly put me at ease. She didn’t just provide a service — she helped me get ready for summer with care and intention.
Lisa, thank you so much.

Saige B did an incredible job on my facial, I felt so fresh and relaxed after and my skin is glowing. She is also such a sweetheart and it was a pleasure to spend the hour with her. I would absolutely recommend booking with her. 💚
