Recently had my hair cut by Lauren Collini, and with the affordable prices, the great hair products she used, and overall exceptional haircut, she will definitely be my go-to hairstylist from this point forward.
I’ve never gotten so many compliments about a hair-coloring before and I’ve also had several
friends who’ve been inspired to go light thanks to seeing my transformation. Thanks lolo!
This place is the hidden jewel of the Back Mountain. Had my hair cut, colored, and highlights. It looks fabulous!!! Beautiful place with beautiful ladies.
I had dermaplaning done today for my first time ever. My appointment was with Derek. He is the best!! I’ll never go anywhere else. He’s very knowledgeable and takes his time. Answered any questions I had and made the whole process super comfortable. My face is also glowing now.
