    If you’re looking for a cozy and professional ambience , Gem Salon is the place.My stylist, Abigail, is nice and knows her craft very well. She’s great with scissors and copying the hairstyle that I want.

    After experiencing a couple of disappointing haircuts elsewhere that left my hair uneven, boxy, and difficult to style, I was nervous about trying another salon. Gem Hair Salon completely changed that experience for me.

The result is a textured, balanced style that is easy to manage and looks much more natural. I especially appreciated the attention to detail and the willingness to address the issues I came in with rather than simply giving me another generic haircut.

    Gem was the first salon and Fae the first stylist I tried when I moved to the Cities 2 years ago. I’m so, so glad I stumbled into such a good find! The salon is bright and comfortable. I love being welcomed with a warm cup of tea. And I can’t say enough kind things about Fae! She clearly cares for her clients and has does a great job helping me figure out a style I love that holds up well between visits. She’s a perfectionist and lifelong learner, and thus is constantly teaching me new things! I hope to be back again and again.
