    I made a first appointment with Morgan last week and she gave me the most thorough and detailed haircut I've ever received! I have (had?) long straight hair. We took quite a bit off and she added some beautiful layers that make everything feel so much lighter and more fun! Normally after I get a haircut my hair freaks out for a bit as it gets used to its new shape. Not in this case. The shape was perfect right away!

    Definitely make an appointment with Morgan! Highly recommended....

    I’ve been looking for a new stylist ever since I’ve grown my hair out past my shoulder - I felt drawn to VAIN.

    Their receptionist was very friendly and informative when I called to book an appointment. I requested someone with 10+ years of experience and was super excited to get my hair cut.

    My stylist didn’t take me until 25 minutes past my appointment. I didn’t have anywhere to be afterwards, so it wasn’t a big deal in the moment.

    I told her I wasn’t looking for a new look, but wanted some density taken out and 1-2 inches removed. She did a great job with my cut and took her time! I was super pleased.

    With her experience level,...read full review

    Summer did an outstanding job! I've always had long hair and she gave me my very first pixie! I had a very specific look I wanted, and photos. She really took her time, listened, and did an absolutely fabulous cut. She was kind and easy to talk to as well. The Vain Ballard location is beautiful, and everyone was so nice. I will definitely be back for more cuts with Summer!
