For BIPOC hair: If you have coily curls, Don't go here.

I hate to write this because Kat was such a sweet stylist and we got a long really well but I’m devastated about how my hair turned out. I wanted my hair reshaped around my face and for my bangs to be trimmed. We discussed in the beginning about prior poor experiences I’ve had with stylist not understanding shrinkage and taking off too much.

I said I wanted to preserve length but I didn’t mind if she needed to trim to make things even. She had also mentioned how healthy my hair was so I assumed we were on the same page but I guess there was a miscommunication somewhere.

When she did the dry cut my hair looked amazing! She then washed it and had me take my glasses off so she could “even” out some areas and then style. When she was finished and I put my glasses back on it seemed like most of my hair was gone. She assured me she didn’t take off more than 2 inches and that I just need to adjust. When I got home and pulled on my curls I knew that more than 2 inches was gone. Not only is my hair so much shorter but I’ve lost a lot of volume.

Objectively the hair cut is cute but it’s not what I asked for and doesn’t make me feel confident.

My friend absolutely loves Kat and has always had a great experience but if you have coily curly hair I...

Jess was so Amazing. I have naturally curly hair that has been professionally and box dyed, bleached blonde, and chemically straightened. She did a Malibu treatment to remove the mineral build up and then a haircut to remove all the damage. She also suggested a water filter for my shower off of Amazon to help with the mineral build up. My hair is so shiny and healthy looking. I love having long hair so I definitely think this will help the growing process. I also want to point out that she cut my curls like a pro. Curls need to be pruned like a plant and you are really supposed to cut where the curl ends which she did! She also added some nice layers and shaping. I love what she did. I look so cute!! I know she is known for amazing coloring, but if you just need a good healthy haircut go here too!!! Also the studio, while needing a sign to tell you to go upstairs is decorated with the coolest art from local artists. It was a very creative and whimsical environment. I think I heard the studio participates in first Fridays as well. Anyway...go give...

this place is so cool! i really wanted to have my hair done somewhere that i could be comfortable as a queer woman and wicked fit the bill.

mckenzie did a fantastic job cutting my hair !! i wanted something a little alt, intense layers, curtain bangs, and to bring out the natural texture in my hair. she was able to give me everything i asked for and preserved the length of my hair too. i have a lot of hair and the hairdressers ive been to in the past struggled to know what to do- i have genuinely never had someone so bravely and expertly hack away at it like mckenzie did ! i feel 10x lighter and 10x more beautiful. thank you wicked and thank you mckenzie, ill absolutely be back and my wife liked my hair so much that she plans to make an...
