Testimonials

So today I experienced a hair color at Vanessa’s Hair in Heritage. We had a discussion about colors and the choice was endless. With Vanessa’s professional and knowledgeable approach, she made it easy to choose. The salon is bright and relaxing with the morning sun shining through. Its cleanliness was desirable and I felt a million dollars when I walked out. Can’t wait for my next hair experience. Looking for someone new? I urge you to try Vanessa, you won’t be disappointed!🙂
