"Love this place. Totally modern and welcoming of all ages. My favorite person there is Kendra Chavez. I can't decide if she is more fun or more skilled (both are good!). Highly recommend!"

The vibe is of an upscale salon. It's simply gorgeous in there with two story of perfect white oak flooring, high ceiling, and the most amazing lighting all around. All the girls there are extremely helpful and friendly. So glad I came across this hidden gem.

"If you want a new look, upgrade, touch up, new dye, highlights, balayage, or just a wash call the Hot Seat Salon and book with Taylor. I promise you won't regret it.
