Kara Simmons

I will go to any salon to get my haircut by Nicole. This was my first time at this salon and it is super cute and bright! Nicole is absolutely amazing and a genius. I have had a bob for years and can’t find anyone who can cut it as well as Nicole. 10000x recommend!

Megan Schroeder

I absolutely LOVE my hair and couldn’t be happier with my stylist Sydney! She’s so sweet and so good at what she does! Definitely my stylist for life 😍 if you are looking for a new stylist, I highly recommend Sydney!

Bailey Swain

I recently had two stylists, Lauren and Bailey, from Marc Stephens do my and my bridal party's hair for my wedding, and I could not be happier with the results! I had my trial with Lauren, and she listened to and did exactly what I wanted. We made some minor adjustments for the day of, and I have never loved my hair more! Everyone who had their hair done by either Lauren or Bailey felt beautiful and was so happy with how their hair turned out. Everyone's hair also held up for the entire day. I cannot recommend them enough when looking for hair stylists for your wedding!
