L'AMOR SALON REVIEWS

I got a cut and color from Jasper and he was amazing. Cannot recommend him and the salon enough. Everyone was friendly. Jasper talked through my options for what color I wanted and what we could achieve (I have black hair and didn’t want bleach). The cut was awesome too because I’d had it cut shortly before elsewhere and had been unhappy with how it looked. Jasper gave me the cut I wanted. He was so fun to talk with and super kind - even after my appointment, Jasper has amazing customer service skills and I look forward to returning.

I had a fabulous cut and color with Diane. There were limited people in the salon, and everyone kept their masks on. She did a gorgeous very natural blonde balayage and an adorable cut. She did a great shampoo and scalp massage too! I'll be back. Also the 20% off for new customers is awesome.

I had a great experience with Brian today! This salon is in my neighborhood and I badly needed a haircut, so I decided to give it a try. Brian gave me a fantastic haircut! I was in and out in no time at all and also got 20% off as a new customer. Even without the discount, it’s still very well-priced for the area. I’ll definitely be back.

PONY STUDIOS REVIEWS

I’m embracing my natural curls and wanted a cut that would let my curls shine. A friend recommended Pony Studios but not a particular stylist, however each of the stylists profiles were so detailed that it was easy to find someone who could help me accomplish my goal. Alessia was fantastic, my cut is awesome, and I loved the vibe of the salon. I’ve already recommended it to friends and I’ll keep coming back.

As usual, Corinna always delivers. Her haircuts are life changing! This time we added a long bang and a more chunky look to the ends, it is fresh & easy to style! I can't recommend her enough to folks with a need to better understand their hair texture.

Summer was so wonderful! She knew exactly what I was asking for and was so fun to talk with. She took her time to get it right and had fun doing it! Thank you so very much, Summer! I love my hair!!.

Leslie has been cutting and coloring my hair for about three years, and I couldn’t be happier with her work. She has experience working with my Asian hair texture and has done everything from bobs and long layers to balayage and highlights—all with amazing results. Leslie takes the time to ask thoughtful questions, ensuring that the final look matches my vision. She is always professional, attentive, and dedicated to making sure I leave satisfied. I highly recommend her.

Jamie has been cutting my husband's hair for the last year and she’s fantastic. She’s always flexible, suggests great changes, and remembers what they did previously. She also cut our special needs kiddo’s hair, and was very patient and sweet with her.

Jamie has been dying & cutting my hair for a couple of years now. I’ve never been a person that walks out of the salon instantly happy with the look, but Jamie nails it every time. My daughter also loves her haircuts.
