I had Meg C. as my stylist, and she was just a darling. She was so gentle and careful with my hair. She took exactly the length that I wanted off, and did beautiful layers for me. I loved how she really took her time and listened to what I wanted done. Will definitely miss her when she graduates and any salon will be lucky to have her. Know before you go: State Street garage is great to park in and only a few minutes walk from the salon. If you want a weekend appointment, I'd book well in advance. They have great products for sale in the front, and are always running specials. Give or take about an hour to an hour and a half for your appointment if you're getting a cut. I wish they would serve something like hot chocolate to clients during these colder months, now that they’ve done away with the complimentary Aveda tea that they used to have. I sure do miss it.

I had Elise and safe to say she was amazing! Went in for a highlight and wasn’t sure what shade of blonde I wanted so she went through the book with me and gave me her recommendations. I absolutely am in love with the way my hair turned out! Not to mention The support there is insane, everyone is super involved and friendly. I immediately booked another appointment with her. She is the sweetest andI would recommend her any day!

My daughter and I both came in for a highlight from Elise and she was superb! I usually don’t leave reviews but she is well deserving of it. She was attentive, tedious with her work and patient with my daughter (she was very indecisive). It was our first time and will definitely be back to see her for our touchups. She’s gained loyal clients in us. I booked a makeup appointment for my daughter next month and can’t wait. Thank you Elise for your beautiful work and support.

Jayda cut my hair today and I’m loving it! I would highly recommend. She was awesome and gave me recommendations for my hair issues. She also taught me how to style my new curtain bangs! Just keep in mind work has to be checked, so Mae sure you plan a bit of extra time for your appointment.

I went in to get my make-up done By Elise and I LOVE how it turned out. This was my second time Seeing Elise and I absolutely adore her. I went to her a few weeks ago for my Highlights and decided to book with her a week after to get my makeup/Haircut/Blowout done and I felt so pretty after. I was a little nervous because I don’t normally wear makeup but she calmed my nerves and I’m glad I put my full trust in her! In the second picture I had already licked my lips off and I took the lashes off because I wasn’t the biggest fan but the base looked so good it looks like I have a filter on! 10/10 recommend her

The service I received is second to none! The student was very kind and listened and asked me questions and gave a wonderful shampoo and deep conditioning. She did the basic cut and then came over and had her instructor look and then they together looked at how I wanted a Bob style done and the instructor showed the student one time the different angles and how to make the cut precision and after showing her a couple of minutes, my stylist did a magnificent job ! The dollar amount I posted below included a tip. I will definitely go back!

Elise B EATS with the blondes! I found her through her Facebook ad and this girl works magic! I came in for a full highlight and wasn’t feeling confident about my hair working good with the bleach but Elise did her thing! She toned me better than I anticipated, listened to all my concerns, answered every question and was so gentle and sweet with me the entire time. She made sure to check in with me if I need any water, to use the bathroom or if I felt comfortable. She is personable, knowledgeable and highly skilled in her blonding work. I will 100% follow her wherever she goes!!
