I moved into the area 7 years ago and this fabulous, friendly salon was one of my first stops. Antonio and Barbara are renown in the community for their flexibility and they are always so accommodating, with a smile and a fabulous greeting every time you walk in. I am very particular about who touches my hair and this is definitely one of those salons that once you have found them it would just not be right to go anywhere else!!
