Thank you, Michael!

Michael H. is Fantastic!

I was a bit skeptical about the reviews about East End, but now I'm a true fan. I have fine Asian hair and a bad haircut from the previous salon, so i was a bit nervous. Michael really did a fantastic job fixing my hair! He really listened and was able to style my hair without taking my length. I love this place and i look foward to my next visit!

For Fab Hair, See Lorenz!

Lorenz takes real pride in his work & you will not walk out the door let down. He definitely knows what he is doing with your hair & the workmanship shows. Initially I went in for a consultation. We had a chat & I decided I wanted to get extensions. Everything was explained to me very clearly on how we would get my vision to actually be - it would not be just a one step process. I left with a definite plan to put into motion. First I went in for a color correction. My hair is a natural dark brown but I came in with mega brown roots, an auburn base, blond highlights, blond chunks, & purple chunks. Lorenz took great care to not only get my back to my natural shade, but to not fry my hair during the process. After everything was said & done & was extremely happy with my hair! His process for installing the extensions is quick & painless. No glue or heat fusing is used which I thought was great as I personally am not at all comfortable with the idea of having anything glued or heat bonded to my own hair. After all the extensions had been put in & Lorenz trimmed it all up a little so it & my natural hair worked together better & I was really impressed with his work. I couldn't just have monochrome color extensions of course, & Lorenz really had an eye for making natural & unnatural color work together. From my own personal experience I would definitely recommend Lorenz for pretty much anything hair-related, he did amazing job on color, cut & extensions.
