    my hair was horribly matted after a week and a half in hospital and Jasmine spent 2 hours brushing it out for a reasonable price, also the whole atmosphere of the place was way more relaxing than the typical salon

    I love Gems and have been going to Cass for years. Her salon is beautiful and comfortable, the products are top notch, and Cass just does beautiful work with cuts and color. Gems is quality through and through.

    I have been with the girls at G.E.M.S. since day one. Always professional, always on top of trends, methods, and products. I can sit down in the chair and say “you, do you Cass” and off Cassie goes, the results are always on point!

    I have gone other places from time to time over the last 20 years, (Familial obligations…) but I always come “home”. I would give them seven stars, but I am limited to five.
