David cut my hair whilst I was on a recent visit from the UK. It’s definitely the best haircut I’ve ever had and all my friends have commented on how good it looks. Knowing how well he styles my daughter’s hair, I asked him to style it as he thought best, and certainly found he was aware what would look good on me. I would love to have David as my regular stylist.
maddie said:
David is a breath of fresh air. Every time I visit I walk out feeling like a million bucks! He is the only stylist I have EVER let cut my hair the day of a special event because I know it will be just perfect. He pretty much has free reign over my tresses and I don't offer that lightly. I am so glad to have found him. Please don't ever go back to London, David!

Donn was fantastic! I walked in for a consult, and not only did he listen, but understood exactly what I was looking for and explained the process of what he wanted to do. And since he had a cancellation, he slipped me in and did a phenomenal job- exactly what I was looking for!
m_sams said:
I've been wanting to regularly dye my hair different colors (blue, purple, etc.), but was worried when I first went to get it done. Donn not only exceeded my expectations, but I don't think I'd go anywhere else. He's just as excited about trying new and vibrant ideas as I am, however usually, I'm afraid to try anything too drastic (I love my hair, I'm very protective of it). I feel completely comfortable that Donn is going to take my idea and make it look great. I was hoping that I'd find one hair stylist to fill my needs , and Donn is it. Anyone looking for a new look (especially with fun color) come to Donn, he'll make it happen.

Cannot express how much I love my new ombre hair done by Donn! Like the reviews said above, he totally understood what I was looking for and got it on point. He made me feel completely comfortable with the techniques he was planning on doing and explained the whole process to me. I couldn't have [randomly] chosen a better salon or stylist! I'm glad Donn was just as excited as I was for the end result-- highly recommend!!

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! I went in for a long overdue cut, and not quite sure where I wanted to go with my hair, but Donn helped me figure out what I was looking for in a cut and gave me one of the best cuts I've ever had! He's currently helping me get through that awkward "in-between" phase as I'm growing my hair out, and my hair still looks good! I highly recommend him if you're looking for a knowledgeable, talented, creative stylist!

I've been seeing Donn exclusively for over a year, and I can't imagine seeing anyone else! I have short hair (mohawk) with a blond stripe down the middle. I've had the best time exploring various cuts with Donn on the way to deciding on this one. He has done a wonderful job with teaching me how to style it, recommending products, and of course always sending me out with a fantastic cut! I'm constantly getting compliments on my hair, and everyone agrees that it is the perfect fit for my personality. Going to see Donn is always a joy - he has the best personality and makes it fun to get my hair cut and colored. Were I ever to be less than pleased, I'm confident that I could comfortably ask him to fix it up and he would do a great job. He has done hair for several of my coworkers, including women with long hair, and they have also been very happy with him. Yay for Donn! <3

gywana wright's reviews
Izzy M said:
This review is LONG overdue! I went to Gywana for a cut and color back on March 23, 2011. I first had a consultation in which she gave me some excellent tips on how to accomplish the look I wanted. Then she did her thing. I was expecting it to take several hours but it only took half as long as I expected! (I dyed the back portion of my hair blue with an all-over dark brown on top.) It turned out fantastic!! I would definitely go back to her, expect I moved across the country to California. I highly recommend Gywana. She is fantastic! I couldn't have asked for a better stylist! She was such a blast to talk to as well!
Kat said:
I first went to Gywana with a botched color and a bad cut from another salon. She didn't just fix my hair, she made it absolutely perfect! The color and cut were both georgous and she can work magic with highlights. I truly can't say enough good things about her work! In case that isn't enough, she is so kind and fun to talk to, the time always seems to fly by when I'm there. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone, without question!

paulette morgran's reviews
gitz007 said:
Paulette has colored my hair for years and I always get compliments on how beautiful the color and style is. I get foils, lowlights, and highlights. I have also seen her results on many of my friends and they all look stunning- from honey blonde, rich brunette, and shades of red. Her hair color is always natural looking, healthy, glossy, and very custom to exactly what you want. I would recommend Paulette to anyone looking for a stylist who actually knows what she is doing. I finally found a stylist that has the talent and eye to accomplish what others only take a stab at and I couldn't be happier!
cbryant628 said:
I have searched for several years to find my perfect stylist who not only got me but truly listened to what I wanted. Paulette gives you exactly what you ask for. If she doesn't think it will work she will politely give you her professional opinion but not force it on you and make you feel if you do not follow it you will look horrible. Paulette is consistent, creative, the sweetest!, and fast. She picks up on your ques and personalizes your customer experience. I will go to her as long as she and I are in this area. She also has a LONG following of clients. If you want JUST A TRIM she will give you just a trim and literally cut just the ends off as I always request.

Kmcclosky said:
At first, I was pretty sure I hated my new hair cut. I walked out with damp hair because I was in a rush and didn't have time to get my hair dried. Without seeing the finished resolutes, I instantly thought I didn't like it because it felt too short.
The next day I defused my hair and styled it and realized I loved it! It was a lot shorter, but it looked healthy and the layers were perfect and I was impressed with the color Rachael chose for the highlights.
I was skeptical going to this place because I hadn't been before. However, I'll have to say, Rachael did a fantastic job!
I have super curly hair and I normally steer clear of getting my hair cut because I'm used to hair dressers f'ing it up, but this time I was very pleased. If you have curly hair - Rachael is your girl!
cmusante said:
I am new to the area, and I'm always afraid to try new hair dressers because of past bad experiences. I work right up the street from Pr at Partners, and decided to give Rachel a try. I told her as long as she kept my hair long, then I was fine with what she did. She told me that she was going to add layers to my hair and showed me before cutting it. She then told me which shampoo and conditioner she used on my hair, and which styling product as well. I really appreciated that she told me everything, it was probably the first time I went to a new hair dresser and wasn't afraid while she was cutting my hair. I will be going back to Rachel again, and suggest everyone give her a try if you really want a great hair dresser that listens, and does a great job!
Side note - My hair looked fabulous after she blow dried it, I wish I could do what she had done!
