Norah is a gifted hair stylist. Her skills working with curly hair are some of the best I’ve seen. I initially found Norah during my search for a stylist focused on curly hair and she did an exceptional job with my cut. I was so happy with the cut that I asked her to do my color as well. My hair hasn’t looked this healthy in years! I highly recommend Norah!...more

I finally found someone who cut my hair the way I wanted. Norah took the time to listen and get to know me and understand what I wanted and needed. Great conversation and a wonderful cut and style as well as being shown different ways to style or not! I intend to see Norah from now on....more

I LOVE my hair!!! I’ve been going to Norah for a couple of years now for blow outs and trims, but this time I wanted to freshen up y look and cover a few grays that had come in. She did exactly what I’d asked for, which was to cover the gray, but also enhance my natural dark brown hair, which had become a bit dull, with a rich color that gives off a subtle burgundy hue, and she nailed it! The photos don’t do it justice, but she’s the best! A pro!...more

Norah was truly such a gift today. She fit me in last minute when I really needed it, and from the moment I sat in her chair, she made me feel seen, cared for, and so comfortable. She listened so thoughtfully and gave me the exact layers I had been wanting — soft, flattering, and beautiful. The blowout was perfect, but more than that, I walked out feeling lighter, more confident, and genuinely pretty again. It was my first time coming here, but I already know I’ll be back. Thank you so much, Norah — you made my day....more
