My colorist Sarah was absolutely amazing.

I came to Maxine Salon as a last minute decision to fix a botched "out of a box" highlight job. My colorist Sarah was absolutely amazing. Her friendly and thoughtful demeanor set me at ease instantly. Her professional assessment of the damage and how she would apply the color remedy was SPOT ON! She worked with precision and efficiency, communicating each step and the expected results along the way. Although it was my first time at Maxine, thanks to Sarah, I never felt apprehensive about how things would turn out. My hair looks fabulous now, and is exactly the natural golden brown color I imagined, with highlights that pop oh-so-subtly and naturally. I plan to return to have Sarah work her magic in a few months, as her talent with hair color consultation and application is exceptional!
