“Aisha's passion for and knowledge about hair is amazing in and of itself, but her additional ability to connect with and understand people and their intentions puts her in a category of her own. I think the happy faces you see here and on Instagram are evidence of that.
And note that these photos show all different hair types, colors, and styles. She is not one-size-fits-all...she fits YOU!
I have problem hair (over-processed, curly and dry being just the tip of the iceberg) and I now get at least a compliment a day on my hair, which hasn't been the case for a decade.
I can't wait until my next appointment.”

“I've been seeing Vanity Cortez for color and cut for some time now. She is amazing - always know just what to do with my color and creates a beautiful look. She also takes the time to teach me how to style it. The salon is airy, bright and welcoming. Highly recommended that you check it out.”

“I can't say enough good things about Barrie! Sometimes I need to just get my highlights touched up or a quick trim, but other times I need to completely change it up and try something totally different. Even when I don't know exactly what look I am going for, Barrie with her impressive skills and creative style knows just what to do. She gives the best scalp massages I've ever experienced, so make sure you request her next time you need your hair done, you won't be disappointed!”

“Just came here for the first time and got a haircut by Sarah! She's the BEST! She has such good energy and was so funny. I got a haircut and had her fix my layers after my hair had been extremely damaged from previous color. She totally fixed my hair and it's looking extremely healthy and I love the cut! I also came to find out that she's INSANELY talented with vivid colors. She's done my friend's hair countless times (every color you can think of) and I've never seen it done better. I'd 10/10 recommend you come by to make an appointment with Sarah whether you're getting a simple trim or getting rainbow hair. Thanks Sarah!”
