So happy with my haircut by Kailey Flower today! From start to finish, she was incredibly sweet and attentive, making sure to understand exactly what I wanted. Finally, after much searching, I've found the perfect hairstylist in Ithaca. Highly recommend her at this Salon to anyone in need of a fantastic cut and a wonderful experience!

This salon is completely unique and I can spend my entire appointment scanning the room for for creative artistic flares like the painted ceilings to what I assume to be local art on the walls.
Kailey is phenomenal. I’ve been to her for 2 Brazilian Blow outs as well as a fix it job after I cheaply tried to do my own hair and failed. I cannot speak highly enough of my experiences with her. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Only experienced one stylist, and I would not recommend them. They used to have good events that they invite the community to but after the way my stylist treated me I would avoid it.

I have always been a salon hopper, never finding a stylist that I truly loved. That changed when I met Kayla at HCA! She took my vague ideas and “do what you want, I trust you” attitude and has me leaving with hair I love, every time. So glad I found her!

I personally go to kailey- which she is literally hands down the best! You can go in there with your hair looking a mess and once you deliver a few ideas next thing you know you leave the Solon feeling absolutely stunning! Plus conversations never get boring! She's only done my hair twice but she's amazing at what she does! If I could put 100 stars I most certainly would!

Kristin did my hair (plus 8 others) for my wedding last weekend. She was a total professional from start to finish and from the moment she responded to my inquiry email, I was excited to work with her. As soon as I sat in her chair for my hair trial, I knew I was in good hands.

I hadn’t had my hair done since my senior prom and every blowout I’ve ever had disappears in a matter of hours. Needless to say, I was a total newbie to getting styled. I had some vague instructions/inspiration pictures, but Kristin really listened to me and offered her expertise when it was clear I really wasn’t sure of my vision. During the trial, she tried out a couple different things and listened to me when I told her to use way more hairspray than she thought was necessary.

I expected her to be on my a** for clear instructions for my bridesmaids, but she never pressured me to make decisions I didn’t want to and was totally flexible to tailor each girl’s style on the day-of without compromising on time. Even when someone in my party went MIA and threw off the timeline, Kristin kept her cool and pivoted to make the most of the time. We went in on a Sunday, so Kristin let us take over her studio so we could hang out together, get dressed, blast music, and eat snacks. She was a gracious host and even let our traveling makeup artists set up shop in her chairs. The space is also super funky and I am elated with how the pictures came out.

As for the finished product – I could have cried. I felt like an absolute princess surrounded by a all of my fairy godmothers. My hair was better than I could have imagined because she was not afraid to use her judgement to create something she knew would be beautiful. She also deviated a bit (in the best way) from what we had done at the trial, which told me she was being very thoughtful and not just using muscle memory to play it safe. Love this spot, love Kristin, would do it all again if I could!

I went a good six months without getting a haircut, and came to Kristin for a shag style cut. I showed her a picture of what I wanted, and she executed it perfectly! I honestly think I like my hair even more than the photo I showed haha. Layers, bangs, and face framing pieces done beautifully, left feeling so confident! Best haircut I’ve had by far.

Kristin is the absolute best at everything hair! I drive over an hour to see her and she is the only one I trust to cut and dye my hair. I have been going to her for 10 years now and she does a fantastic job every time I see her. She is a true color artist. Her salon is the absolute best in town.
