Love this salon! Very professional staff and a family feeling. I’ve never felt so welcome at a salon. #hair done in a timely fashion especially considering I had a custom wig made, cut and style(wig made prior to arrival). Clean salon as well as beautiful. Not hard to find while diving or walking. Be sure to check this place out! I have had my hair done by Frances and Francine. They’re both amazing!

This salon may be hard to find but is worth the hunt! Lets start with the logistics: it is on 130 south south in a small strip mall. For those of you familiar with the area it is just passed the football field where Burlington city highschool plays games(or did in my youth). They have flexible hours and will even come in on a Sunday or Monday! This is nearly unheard of in hair care circles. The salon is spacious and clean. They have about 4 sinks, 4 dryers and a tanning bed. They also have relaxing touches like a coffee machine, cold water, a couch, movies, and magazines. It has a vibe that says, «stay a while.» In regard to the styling experience they use high quality products: I got Paul Mitchell shampoo and conditioner and jane carter styling products. They also had a bunch of shea moisture products and some kinky curly products. While i was there they were also experimenting with some of my favorite products including heena, dabur vatika coconut oil, and rose water. My hair loves natural things so this was a treat for me! In addition to the nice products they also had respect for people’s time. While it is(of course) best to make an appointment they also take walk-ins. For those with an appointment you don’t linger endlessly while they work on multiple people. Instead you get asked questions such as «how do you wear your hair,» «how do you maintain your hair» etc. You get enough individual attention to feel heard. As a rollerset girl for life, I decided to branch out and get a twist out done. Sadly I remembered why I rollerset: TWISTTAKEFOREVERTODRY. I can only do short stints under the dryer. But my stylist was kind enough to pin the twist into a style and invite me back the next day to have my hair styled. I was able to go out and enjoy my day and let my hair air dry. The next day I returned and was shown different options and allowed to pick how I wanted my hair styled. Overall I was very pleased with my experience. While i will always be a DIY girl it is nice to go to a salon where the stylist listen and make a genuine effort to hear your concerns.
