Love my locks of hair  5 Star Rating - World class

Shanna has a wonderful talent to make women/ men great looking with hair. I recommend her to all my friends. She has been doing my extensions for over the past year. Each and everytime I go back to get more. My hair has grown over the past year. I went to another salon and was totally disappointed. Never again. She is more than a hair dresser, she a great friend and talented women who knows hair. . I just love it!

Amazing hair extensions! 5 Star Rating - World class

This is the first time that I've ever had extensions, and I absolutely love them! She did a fabulous job. They look so natural! I literally have to tell people that I have them, or they would never notice. She did such an amazing job matching the color and texture as well. I could not be happier, and I know for sure that this won't be the last time that I get them from her!

best haircut ever 5 Star Rating - World class

I saw that Shanna was highly recommended (after reading reviews) and decided to try her out because of her curly hair expertise. I was being really picky about my cut and I've had many disasters before with my mass of curls. She did AWESOME! For the first time ever my husband actually noticed that I got a haircut and said I look adorable. I told her exactly what I wanted and she did exactly that. It's hard to find someone that actually listens but she will! She put some really good products in my hair and made good and sure I was satisfied before I left. She's really friendly which is a big plus and I would recommend her to anyone. I won't go anywhere else! For the first time I'm actually glad I have curly hair. I have my fingers crossed, hoping she won't be moving out of state anytime soon, eek!

Shanna really knows what she is doing 5 Star Rating - World class

I was thrilled with my hair extensions from Shanna. I was a first-timer, but I just knew after speaking with her that she was an expert. She put me at ease and made sure that my hair does not look fake, which was my biggest fear! She was very accomodating and fit me in very quickly for a special occasion. She was very efficient and it did not take all day. She is also great at color!

Love my extensions! 5 Star Rating - World class

I am so glad I found Shanna - she has been nothing but amazing since my first appointment back in February 2008. I came to her after a way-too-short style that just wasn't me. I knew nothing about extensions and she was more than happy to give me a quick lesson and consultation free of charge. So, the next thing I knew I was in her chair getting long hair!! I was honestly really nervous at first, but she made the process very comfortable and easy....and I absolutely love them! The color is just perfect for me and the look and feel is so natural!! I am on my second set now and am amazed how they have changed the way I feel about myself and my confidence level. She was and always has been more than accommodating making appointments for me when it was convenient for me. She is more than just a hair dresser - she has also become a friend. I would definitely recommend her for cuts, color and of course, beautiful extensions. You won't be disappointed.

Great Cut for Long Straight Hair 5 Star Rating - World class

Finally, Someone who listens! I've got long straight hair and I want to keep it that way. I went to Shanna and enjoyed her personality, her friendliness, and her willingness to listen! She had some great haircut ideas, but I didn't want to change too much. We talked back and forth a bit and she cut my hair exactly like I wanted her to. Wow... I was so excited to find someone who actually DOES what they say they will do. I know we've all been there- ya know - the trim that ends up being 7 inches off? Well, believe me, you can trust that Shanna will do exactly what you want, and will give you a great cut.
Thank you Shanna!

Pros: Great welcoming staff
Cons: Disabled parking is a problem
