From initial consultation with Ariyona J. I could tell I was in good hands. She was very professional and talked me through her thought process every step of the way. She matched my color and needs as well as addressed my concerns aka fear of cutting off to much of my ends! She made sure I was comfortable and even stayed during her normal lunch time to make sure I was taken care of from as I mentioned beginning to end! She has such a great head on her shoulders and look forward to seeing her growth and on path see her dreams come true. #colormatch#treatmentdeepconditioning#blowdry#flatiron#trim!!!! Highly recommend her! Excited see my hair back to healthier state with her help!

Just came in for a simple wash and braid down. Skyler did her big one. I’m usually a very shy person, but I felt very comfortable around her. The conversation was flowing and we had a really good time. She was making sure that everything was to my standards and making sure I didn’t have any issues with anything. I’m glad I went because not only did I get my hair done. I also made a new friend!
