What's luxury without great hair? Maxine's color stylists are all exclusively trained at L'Oréal Professionnel so they are guaranteed to nail it every time.

Come a little early and enjoy some coffee or tea on the second floor while awaiting your cut or style. Beer and champagne are also available to sip while you relax. High-quality products are also available for purchase if you'd like to use the same items that were used on your hair at the salon back at home.

Men need pampering too. Although, women are definitely allowed to book services at the Men's Grooming Parlor if they wish. The decor is masculine, but not overly so, and the pricing is reasonable. If you're getting a facial, the owner/operator, Matt Leyes, will take the time to go over your specific skin goals to give you an in-depth analysis. After the procedure, you will leave with recommendations for home care. Getting a wax job? You'll get to take a shower once you're done, so you can leave feeling clean and itch-free. Matt is an expert at making his clients feel comfortable and at home.
