I was in a mental space where I needed a huge change and my friend had recommended Alex if I was looking for a new stylist. I'm SO glad she did. I made an appointment to chop my shoulder length hair down to a pixie. In retrospect, trusting someone I'd never met to cut my hair like that was not how I usually would have gone about it but I think there was something about the salon and everyone in it plus something about Alex that made me feel immediately at ease and made it easy to trust him. He cares so much about making sure his clients are happy with his work and listens carefully plus never makes us feel guilty for asking for what we'd like (even if it's a few days later and something hasn't quite settled right), but always keeps it real if he thinks something different might look better. His cuts and color are wonderful and fresh. So glad to have found this lovely salon! I've sent my mom and friends here since and they've also had a wonderful experience. I highly recommend!
