Anita does a wonderful job. Just wish I could have her at my house every morning to do my hair!

I took a chance at Anita’s Hair Salon for the first time today - and I’m so happy I did!! This woman has been in the hair business for 20 plus years, and I’ve been desperately looking for someone who understood my needs and could actually help me; today I found her!! Anita is a wonderful hair dresser and was so pleasant to talk to! I appreciate and enjoyed the atmosphere, her willingness to help me, and how open and inviting she was of new customers! It wasn’t easy fitting me into her schedule but she went above and beyond to help me get the perfect look. Definitely coming back; thank you for all you do Anita!

Anita is a great place! Anita herself works hard and it shows it in her work. She gets busy but she still shows love and care for your hair. She dyes hair, cuts hair, and wax. If you have thin hair like I do, fear not because you will be a good hands. During my time there you hear the other customers say what an amzing job she does. So dont just take my word for it.
