      This has been my second time going to David James and for both appointments I saw Daniel.

      He. Is. Amazing! This guy is the real deal.

      The first time I saw Daniel, I came in with a bunch of photos of short bobs and lobs and asked him to recreate something along those lines. Not only that, but I and asked to take off about 6+ inches off of my hair. He did a wonderful job of not only cutting my hair, but teaching me how to style it to get the look that I wanted. I really appreciated that he took so much time and care on the cut and styling, but also on making sure that it worked with my hair texture and face . Some stylists just recreate a look, but he recreated a look and made it work for me. The cut looked amazing for the following 3 months! I couldn't believe it!

      Last night I saw Daniel after 9ish months since my last cut. This time, I didn't have any pictures with me so instead I told him my desired length and highlighted a few things he did last time that I liked. I was again blown away. He discussed every styling choice he made and would explain why something would or would not work. He always let me make the final call, but I deferred to his opinion because he - clearly! - knows what he's doing. I'm impressed by his attention to detail.

      I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a stylist who is thoughtful, consultative, and has a passion for their craft. The level of care and service that I get when getting my hair cut by him is such a fun experience!

      Fun bonus: the salon is beautiful and all of the stylist chat and laugh together to create a fun and inviting atmosphere. Honestly... I should get my hair cut more often!!

      I have no doubt that David James is full of talented hair artists, but this review is for Ashley. I ONLY HAVE POSITIVE THINGS TO SAY.

      This was my first time getting my hair bleached/lightened in years and Ashley was so knowledgeable about my hair's possibilities and restraints. She was super communicative, asking lots of questions about what I was looking for as well as relaying realistic expectations about what we could accomplish. When I came in for the actual appointment, we talked over my reference pictures and she went right to work.

      In this case, I wanted a blonde halo (where the whole bottom layer plus some hair that frames the face is bleached). It took about 4 hours (as she predicted) and the process was seamless. Ashley made the time fly by - she's a blast to talk to. And she clearly knew what she was doing!

      I love my new hair and would encourage anyone to go to Ashley for any coloring needs!

      Daniel gave me a great haircut and is super nice! Although not cheap, definitely go to this salon if you want to leave with a superb haircut it's worth it. Will be back soon

      :/ Sad :( ... I was very happy with them and I've been going there for 5 years, until they charged me $90 for a service (Ashley) when I could not make it 10 min after the appointment (first time I'm late). Also they were asking me for tip for a service I did not receive. Very sad .... :(
      Sorry :/ btw love Sabrina and Daniel! :/

      ASHLEY ASHLEY ASHLEY!!!!!!!
      Ashley is my hero. Thank goodness for social media because that's how so was able to get connected to her after my precious go-to left the city.

      I typically need to pop in every 8ish weeks to touch up my roots. I'm a chocolate brown with lots of ambers in my hair so it's always a challenge to have a solid color.

      Ashley listened to my needs and also had helpful feedback, as I mentioned I may want to go lighter this summer.

      Delicate touch, charismatic, skillful, and all around a gem. Really looking forward to my journey with Ashley!

      Sabrina is AMAZING I love how my hair turned out!! I only get my hair cut maybe once a year at most and haven't found a stylist that I am devoted to. A few of my friends have gone to see Sabrina and upon scrolling through her IG really fell in love with her work.

      Sabrina really listened to what I was looking for and worked her magic on my thin hair. She shortened my bangs, added some face framing pieces, and a ton of volume to the top of my head. I really appreciated all of her helpful tips for styling my new hair and trimming the bangs. I had a wonderful experience overall, Sabrina was very personable and full of energy, great vibes can't wait til my next visit!

      I've had many haircuts ranging from mediocre to okay, with one or two great haircuts in between.This was probably one of the first times I've had a better than great haircut with Sabrina! I always struggle to get volume on my heavy straight hair and Sabrina took lots of time to explain why and what shapes and styling tips would help me get my desired look. I appreciate that she took a more conservative approach with the length and layers as I explained I have my upcoming wedding ceremony to prepare for. I loved the look she came up with, and she wielded her razor with ease (I have had razored haircuts in Asia where the hair just becomes more thin and flat...). I am already looking forward to booking with her again :)

      From flat to fab with Sabrina!

      S A B R I N A. What can I say. She is nothing short of LIFE CHANGING. I know, I know, such a cliche say thing to say. A haircut changed my life... say less.

      Hear me out, until I met Sabrina, I lived my entire life believing this lie that I had thin hair, not enough volume, it had to be straightened all the time, etc etc. So much so that I just cut my own hair most of the time.

      She not only completely rebuked all of those lies in less than an hour, she changed the entire shape of my hair, and let my natural waves finally come out to party... she gave me a bunch of pro tips on how to style, what product to use (without ever being too salesy or preachy).

      She's incredibly knowledgeable and speaks the language of hair that I've never experienced before. She made the entire process so enjoyable. Definitely do not sleep on her.

      Sabrina is fantastic. She is truly an artist who loves hair and is so incredibly knowledgable. It's clear that this is her passion. It's been wonderful learning from her and she's so great at really hearing what it is you're looking for. She also makes your hair look amazing. Highly recommend. Just a great person and a great experience!

      You know, I had always thought that hair couldn't be alive,but I swear Sabrina touched my hair and it's alive now--every day. Before I visited we were deep into covid my hair was long and straight, flat. Every day I looked in the mirror it just felt like I was wearing a sock on top of my head. Sabrina gave my strands the ability to *move, dance, frame and shape*
      My hair with heat styling is incredible, without styling is equally incredible in a different way. I'm truly blessed to be able to have amazing hair days *every single day because of Sabrina.* (PS She's also the sweetest. Makes you feel comfortable, has great conversation and an incredible personality. Worldly, well rounded and genuinely cares.)

      You know the Sailor Moon transformation scene where she goes from regular person to sailor moon? That's how getting a haircut from Sabrina feels like every time. Sit back and please let her do her magic. She's got a vision and she knows how to transform you every time. Let her have the reigns and you'll be the lucky one to experience her magic!!
