I just found Nicole at Thairapy — and she is officially my new go-to hair stylist! My hair was long overdue for a makeover, and Nicole truly delivered. She took the time to sit down with me and really listen to what I wanted. We deepened the overall color and added lowlights to tone down the brassy highlights — the result was exactly what I had in mind.
Nicole also gave me the haircut I’ve been trying to get for ages but was never able to achieve with previous stylists. I really appreciated how she checked in with me throughout the appointment to make sure we were on the same page.
Thank you so much, Nicole, for your attention to detail and for genuinely caring about getting it right. You did an amazing job, and I’m already looking forward to my Brazilian Blowout in a few weeks. I’ll definitely be back — bravo!!

Thairapy Hair Salon did an amazing job on my highlights — super natural, perfectly blended, and exactly what I wanted. The stylist was friendly and really knew what she was doing. Great atmosphere too. Highly recommend!

Ailene is amazing! I don’t trust anyone else to cut my hair. I just had my hair colored by her as well and it’s absolutely perfect! She mixed a color that fits exactly what I wanted and looks great on my skin tone. I’ve gotten so many compliments and love my new hair!

Way too much drama for a hair salon between Michael and Toby. Watch out for preferential treatment of clients by Michael -he plays favorites and he does not put decent paying customers first but rather plays games about who he wants to serve and when.

I had a great experience and like my hair cut. I'm from Atlanta, GA and have my hair salon that I use but found myself out of town for an extended timeframe. I'm super picky about my hair. Cody did a great job! He was super friendly and it's a nicer place than a barber shop which is too risky for me to trust my hair to. LOL

This Salon may have good hairdressers but the Owner, Ailene, is a pouty child so as a new client I suggest not making any suggestions after she is finished. like "would like color a bit lighter next time". No one ever stated hair was terrible but just would like a bit lighter next time. She couldn't handle it and no courtesy or guts to tell me or call me but sent a text. Professional, Adult NO. I can't tell you how many times she would state poor her she is a single mother raising and raised 3 children. The Salon maybe 10 yrs old but Ailene has only owned a few years and she needs to grown up and take productive criticism. GL

This is my third time coming for a cut and color and Erin does an amazing job each time. I showed her a tiktok of a hair color I love, and she did a perfect match. It blends wonderfully, she showed me how to curl my hair and shes super easy to talk with. Highly recommend and will continue to choose her for all my hair needs!

Update: I decided to try coloring my own hair, and that did not turn out so well. I called Aileen and she came in the next morning and fixed it. I get so many compliments! She does my wife's hair and people stop us on the street asking us who does our hair! We love working with her and the salon is always nice and clean!Ailene (the owner) is the best at what she does. She puts so much time into her consults to ensure that when the process starts that we are on the same page. You can tell she loves what she does and what makes it more amazing, is how much pride she takes in her salon as the owner. The vibe in her salon is pure harmony and it shows not only in her work, but in her staff, all the way to the decor in her salon. I highly recommend Ailene or any of her wonderful staff for any of your haircare needs.
