It’s been nearly nine years since I last stepped into a salon. I’ve been cutting my own hair since my son was born, always putting other things first. But I decided to do something special for myself before an upcoming trip to New York City—a trip that holds deep meaning for me, marking both my mother’s birthday and a chance to reconnect with a time in my life that shaped who I’ve become.

Ashley is my forever hair stylist. What I like about her is you can show her pictures of what you're envisioning, talk through your thoughts, and share what overall aesthetic you're looking for.

I have very thick wavy course hair. Most hairstylists have a hard time cutting my hair. Not Ashley! She even shows me how to style my hair with the amount of maintenance/work I'm willing to do.
Had a fantastic experience with bridal hair and makeup for my entire party. Received compliments all day and they were so fun and professional. Thanks for helping me out last minute!
