What People Are Saying...

“You can't run a salon by the numbers: the more customers, the more profit. Each client deserves special treatment. When I made the decision to become a blonde, I wanted others to be green with envy when they saw my great look. Instead I got green hair. I'll never go back to the salon again!. ” --Jackie B., Client, Indianapolis
