Image First was recommended by a friend who was ecstatic about her experience there. As a virgin with this type of service, I had a bit of trepidation but was motivated to give it a try. As a native New Yorker now a Snowbird, I felt I had years of experience navigating upper Eastside salons in Manhattan. Nothing I have experienced prepared me for the warmth, understanding and support offered in this salon that caters to privacy and affords the client an opportunity to speak and “be heard.” The patience with questions, sensitivity to client anxiety and the feeling of “we got you” was something I had never experienced before.

My brows look so much fuller, I can finally go out without using a brow pencil first! I would highly recommend making an appointment with Reelika, I will...
Read moreI have issues with my hair and have never felt comfortable going to a 'regular' salon. I saw the ad for Image First in my community's magazine, and I thought I'd try it out. From the first minute I arrived, I was put at ease. The staff is warm, friendly, welcoming and I could tell they really care about their clients. My stylist spent so much time with me -- he listened, as well as advised me, and did a terrific job. I was super happy when I left, and I will never go...
