WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Megan, Client
I was very well looked after by the staff and enjoyed good conversations with my bottomless coffee.
I absolutely love my extensions and colour.
If you’re looking for quality, good atmosphere and customer service-this is the place to go.
I wish I found this salon years ago!
Amanda, client
Whitney knows how to turn my ideas into reality, and this is what I really appreciate.
Be prepared for a great playlist each time you walk through HQ’s their doors. One last thing to mention is that the other stylists are just as bubbly and friendly as Whitney, while the salon's atmosphere is like that of no other; both warm and welcoming
Tianna, Client
Saved my hair on a few occasions and goes the extra mile to make sure your completely satisfied.
She is honest about the process and realistic about how long it could take for you to get your blonde colour you want while keeping your hair healthy with the least amount of damage. This is no doubt my favorite salson in the city. I've had my fair share of trials runs with other stylist and none can compare
