I only trust Ruben with scissors near my hair! i am a dedicated fan to Ruben. he owns the salon and does cut and color. i have been going to him since he worked back at diva studios. almost 10 years ago! when i lived in nyc i would fly back into vegas just to get my highlights done by him. he knows exactly what he is doing. he makes it last for weeks by weaving those highlights in there so i could space out my appointments. now with the cuts he can thin out the hair upon request to make it lay better. the layers are always perfect and i always leave a happy customer. his assistants are always fun and everyone makes you feel right at home. never a snobbish feeling. the decor is beautiful and very homely. they also serve starbucks coffee and wine. i have even gotten my mom to be a dedicated fan to him among a few friends over the years. at the end of styling they put this serum by pearatin in your hair and i suggest buying some. it leaves your hair so silky smooth and looking fresh even 2 months after you get it done. good little investment. i always get compliments on my hair and i always hand them one of ruben's cards. i say go give it a try and you will thank me right afterwards. :)
