Love this salon. My mom and twin sister also visit this salon. Katy cuts my hair and is absolutely amazing to work with. She knows what she is doing with curly hair and every time I leave the salon, I am happy with how my hair looks 😊. Tony cuts my mom's hair and he does an amazing job. She has a pixie cut and if you aren't precise with pixie cuts, it can look pretty bad. Will recommend anyone to go to this salon. Everyone is so friendly and with what is happening in the world, it's nice to have a safe space i can go to and feel at home ❤️

wonderful experience at darling electric. all of the luxe and charm of a boutique salon without the pretension. valerie was fabulous! a true artist. she saw the vision from the beginning. i was due for a major chop. so we went in with a blank canvas, tons of hair to work with, and came out with a cut that had texture and movement, totally transformed! i knew i was in good hands and valerie absolutely did her magic. definitely will be back!

My hair stylist of 14 years moved out of state, so I have been on a search for a new salon. I loved the reviews of Darling Electric and made an appointment with Tony to see if we could do something fun with my boring, shoulder-length bob. He was a great listener, took in everything I had to say about my hair, routine, what I was looking for, and gave me an amazingly cute pixie cut! I love that he offered thoughtful, professional opinions, and also took everything I wanted into consideration. Great first appointment - I'll definitely be back!

I paid $120+tip for a cut by Tony. I have 2a/2b hair, so slightly wavy but leaning towards straight. Even through the price includes a wash and style according to the website, Tony insisted on a dry cut because its better for curly hair (I wish I had curly hair but thats not my reality), and he didn't style it at all. It ended up uneven. I went back to get it fixed, and 6 months later there is still one strand on the left side I cant pull back into a ponytail. I have hip-length brown hair and am lucky enough to receive regular compliments, but I've had SEVERAL friends comment with unprompted outrage at how bad this cut is, and get even more upset when they hear the price without a wash or style. I have gotten better hair cuts at SuperCuts for $25. I only give 2 stars for the 10/10 ambiance

Absolutely wonderful decor! I had a great experience with Karianne; she made the salon truly feel like home!
