Absolutely love the vibe and atmosphere of this place. Everyone is kind to their clients but even more, I noticed they’re kind to each other. You’ll get a good cut/color at most any salon but it’s rare to find THIS.

I’ve been going to First Impressions for over a decade and have always experienced excellent service with multiple stylists. All three of my girls also get cuts and color and we’ve been very happy. I would highly recommend.

Leslie is the best esthetician ever! She is so knowledgeable with the products she uses. She provides a wonderful and relaxing atmosphere. I always leave feeling great about my skin and fully relaxed. My skin looks the best it ever has.

I went to have a facial and my expectations were exceeded. Liz did an amazing job, from her expertise to her hospitality.

The highlights look incredibly natural and blended. It honestly looks like I didn't get highlights (in the best way possible - this is exactly what I told her I wanted). It looks like I have naturally perfectly-highlighted hair.

I was in desperate need for some self-care and a pampering massage was exactly what I needed! I had the absolute pleasure of receiving a massage from Grace, and I can honestly say it was one of the most grounding, healing experiences I’ve had in a long time.

I’m not one typically to write reviews in general. Yet here I am. Total transparency I stopped getting my nails done many years ago as I found it generally speaking, overpriced and under delivered for a basic French. With that said. I received a gift certificate from some friends for this salon so I figured I’d give it a try because it was no money out of my pocket. I met Wincie today and she did acrylic nails with a French manicure. ...
