This has been my go-to salon for over 10 years: Helen is a true artist with hair. She's super wonderful to talk to and has always executed perfectly whatever needs to be done, but I personally so appreciate her expertise: she hand-mixed hair dye for me during my "auburn era" that I got numerous compliments and "is that natural??"s on.

Helen is awesome, a super sweet person and a fantastic stylist!
i have had an absolutely amazing experience!
