We are a family owned Salon chain in business since 1980
Our stylists are very special! We select and train them the ROP way.  They are not independent contractors and they are not paid on commission so they work together as a team sharing creative knowledge to give you the best possible look.  This is very rare in the salon business. They train extensively to be a stylist in our Salons. Most of them have trained 2000 to 3000 hours in addition to their cosmetology school.
Our salons feature an edgy, upscale look without the attitude . The Salon culture thrives on kindness and positivity. Â
