We want to find the right haircuts for you, even if you aren’t sure what you want!
Haircuts can be tricky. You may think that you want to try a look that you’ve seen on one of your friends or in a magazine. You may have brought a picture to a salon and walked out with that cut but still been disappointed. You’re not the only one who has been burned like this before! Haircuts require a lot of things including skills, talent and a fair amount of artistry. Whether you know exactly what you want or have no clue, we here at Salon Povera want to be your knowledgeable guide through the somewhat treacherous pages of hair magazines!
When you come to Salon Povera for a haircut, you’ll experience a different type of salon. We don’t just take your photo, give you the haircut and then send you on your way! Instead, we will take the time to figure out what it is that is appealing about haircuts or styles that you like and take the process from there. By taking the time to get to know our clients a little better before using the scissors, we are able to give each of them the star treatment during their service. We can offer you advice on what would look good with your own face, head shape, and even the type of hair that you have. By giving each of our clients a more personalized approach, we know they will leave the salon feeling confident and strong.
The work is exceptional.
“Patrick makes the client feel extremely comfortable and relaxed. My wife and daughter both swear by Patrick, and he gives them great reasons to do so. The work is exceptional, the atmosphere is soothing, and they come back home happy. If I had hair, Patrick would cut it.”

My girl Tyce is the greatest!! Yes we all say our stylist is the greatest, but my stylist is the GOAT! I am the crazy pixie hair lady that doesn’t ever trust anyone. Tyce has gained my trust so much that I now don’t even worry about a thing the moment I sit in her chair. Oh and Salon Povera is great too! Lol! The atmosphere it awesome, and the conversation is always interesting! You guys all rock!!!

Tice listened to me and translated through her experience an excellent cut. I have a goal, know that no matter what I do the look relies on the strength of the cut, and she will see that cut is the best to get me to my goal. I rely on her to give guidance along the way and suggestions for alternative paths if needed. Gloe Dyne

Skye colored my hair today. I needed to get rid of my grays and wanted to go darker. My grays are now gone and my hair is a pretty shade of brown. I felt like Skye was really attentive to my hair. She also cleaned it up for me. I look forward to seeing how my hair does these next few weeks.

I got a haircut and a balayage with Katie, which went well. Initially I wasn't as happy with how it turned out but Katie and the other team members were very nice, understanding, and accommodating. Katie listened to my requests and immediately addressed them, after which I was very happy with my haircut and my color. Katie and the rest of the team members went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with the haircut and the experience in their salon. As a bonus I got great suggestions about things to do for my vacation from Patrick. Overall, would highly recommend this salon.

Patrick is a color magician and will make sure you’re taken care of! I switch colors all the time and love being platinum. He makes it happen! I also like how he’s always talking with his staff and coaching them in their craft. Ie. Ways to accomplish this color for this type of hair, cutting techniques, etc. Whether you’re being seen by him or one of his staff, you’ll be taken care of and receive a quality outcome at a reasonable price. He’s also a great person to get to sit and talk to while you’re getting your hair done!

Tice is amazing!!! After box coloring my hair for many years the color was no longer what I wanted (too dark) and I wanted to go back to my natural color.Tice was great and took on the challenge! It was a long process as she took great care in getting rid of my “chocolate cherry” hair color so my hair would not be damaged. I absolutely love it! I trust her wholeheartedly with whatever recommendations she makes for my hair.Tice also did an awesome job cutting my hair. I tried several salons since moving to NC 6 years ago and was not happy ~ but Tice…. She HEARD me and really listened to my vision of what I wanted my hair to look like and I LOVE IT!The staff are very friendly and welcoming and I love the family bantering that goes on with the stylists and owner Patrick. Very relaxed atmosphere!!I am so happy I found this salon <3

Thank you, Skye, for what might have been the best haircut I’ve ever had in my life! Skye didn’t just blindly give me the haircut I showed her photos of- she asked questions about my hair type and lifestyle, and then tailored my desired haircut to my specific needs and hair type. I was left with a cut that looks amazing with or without styling, and really fits me as a person! I have tried many times over the years to get this exact haircut at many salons, but never left feeling 100% satisfied. Skye is the first person that got it exactly right and totally understood what I was asking for! She also washed/styled my hair with amazing high end products.The salon itself is small but doesn’t feel cramped, and all the stylists seem to have a friendly, talkative, down to earth energy. I got very lucky and they were able to fit me in super last minute on Memorial Day weekend after they had a last-minute cancellation, which I was so grateful for! The prices are on par with other high end salons (my haircut was $60)- 100% worth it for a haircut that was tailored to me, looks effortlessly gorgeous, and from a stylist who has perfected their craft. I’ll definitely be coming back!

I am forever a fan of Tice. I doubt I will ever go to another salon! I recently moved to the area and had my hair done elsewhere (before I learned of Tice’s awesome work!) I didn’t love the color that I had (a bit orange!) and Tice did an amazing job fixing my color. She was INCREDIBLE. It’s just the shade I wanted and had the right highlights and shading. She even stayed late because it took longer than what I originally booked. She is EXCELLENT at coloring and I highly recommend her. She is knowledgeable, professional, patient, and truly the best of the best!

Great staff. Fun environment. Great location. Clean and professional experience with all the Southern Salon Charm you would expect. First haircut since lockdown and Skye strategized, then cut and styled my new look almost intuitively while walking this previous "crew-cutter" through the care and future maintenance of my now longer locks. Highly recommended and her experience shows with the final "soap opera hair" outcome (that's a good thing).

They are just simply amazing!! I do not have enough nice things to say about Tice. She did just an amazing job fixing my hair from a previous bad hair coloring. She was able to completely transform my hair and achieve the exact look I was going for, though it was a drastic transformation. Both Patrick and Tice are fun, warm and made me feel so comfortable. Their communication via phone and email is amazing, and quick. The salon is clean and all staff wear masks, gloves. 100% recommend them.

I love my hair! This is the best place I have gone too! Brittney Tice was the one who did my hair and she is so amazing and patient! She left my hair exactly how I wanted and so beautiful and soft. I completely trust them with my hair and will only be going here from now on. The atmosphere is very nice and the rest of the stylists' are super sweet and awesome at what they do as well. 10/10 experience!

Skye is a wizard! She knew exactly how to cut and style my hair, taking into account things like natural texture, volume, and hair growth direction. My hair has never looked or felt so good, and Skye was so friendly as she worked through it with me, showing me along the way how to style at home. She is so kind and SO amazing with hair. I will be going to her from now on!

Skye. Is. Amazing!! She is the one hairstylist that we’ve been looking for all these years! Her genuine care towards taking care of your hair’s health, cut, color, style is second to none! Her recommendations of hair products are exactly what we’ve been looking for! She gives my daughter and I helpful hints in keeping our hair looking like we walked out of the salon daily until our next visit with her! Thank you Skye for your transformational touch of excellence! See you soon!

I really love my hair! Nice people, very good professionals, clean place, following all the covid-19 care and instructions. 5 stars no doubt!!! Fyi: I got a balayage full or partial, not sure, and yes, you can't see much but that's how I wanted. Just some chocolate color, since I never colored my hair before hahaThanks to Erika! 🙏

Hands down one of the best salons I have been to on the east coast. So glad to have found my go-to salon in Durham. Went there first for a haircut and then balayage. Patrick is a sweetheart and I couldn't have been happier with the services. Highly recommend it!

Tricia is AMAZING. I went to Salon Povera after getting a horrible haircut somewhere else. Tricia was able to work with it and give me the cutest haircut ever. I have curly hair, so sometimes it's difficult to find someone who knows their way around curls, but Tricia knew what she was doing and guided me through what products she used and gave me some styling ideas. This is definitely my new salon, I'll recommend it to everyone!

Excellent experience with Skye at Salon Provera! She's enthusiastic, encouraging, and thorough. The Salon staff checked my temp, gave me hand sanitizer, and confirmed I was masked (as all of the staff and clients were) so I felt as safe as possible. I'm low maintenance so I especially appreciated Skye's approach of examining how my hair naturally "wants" to sit and working with my existing routine instead of creating a style I couldn't or wouldn't achieve at home. Thank you all, I'll be back!

Y’all, RUN don’t walk to Salon Povera to see Skye!!! I have never in my life loved a haircut so much - truly walked out of the salon feeling more confident and beautiful. This was my first time at this salon, and I wanted a pretty drastic cut. Skye was not only diligent in learning what I wanted but SO extremely meticulous throughout the whole process. She also walked me through the entire cut - providing me with awesome tips for how to wash and style my hair. I have never had a hair stylist so passionate about every detail. She cared so much about making my vision come true and absolutely blew me away. I will never go to another hair stylist!!!!!

I don’t usually leave review if the service/outcome is mediocre. I’ve been to heaps of salon (around the triangle) where the reviews are glowing, mostly due to haircolor/haircare but when you go for basic haircut, the result is a blah.A. HAIRSTYLIST: I just had my haircut done by TICE - I was highly satisfied. I remembered my fave hairdresser in NJ, lol!Tice - aside from she’s easy to talk to, I’ve noticed that she is expert in her field of expertise, did not rush my shampooing, haircut, blowdrying - made sure that the outcome of my requested layered hair with side-swept fringe (soft point cut) was great. Her techniques in haircutting were superb. In addition, did not judge my unkempt, thick hair with xxy colors & grey hairs😉. Can’t wait to have a hair color with her. 😀 Thanks, Tice!B. SALON: Decent-sized, clean, with relaxed vibe, & simple online schedulingDuring this unprecedented times, the salon follows the health protocols- 1. ask you s&s questions before going in 2. take temp using a temp scanner 3. sanitizing 4. peps wear mask in a right way.Summing up, highly recommended!👍

Hands down one of the best experiences I’ve had getting my hair done. The salon is clean & there’s an array of products. Erica did my hair today and gave me exactly what I wanted. She had no problem dying, cutting, and styling my hair how I wanted. Everyone is very friendly and of course I will be back 👏.

Yesterday was my first visit to Salon Povera. My appointment was with Tricia, who is simultaneously friendly and professional. I am so satisfied with the cut I got yesterday from her, which was a below shoulder length to pixie cut transformation (around 13 inches off). The entire process was relaxing and flowed very nicely, and I have zero complaints or critiques. Thank you so much to Tricia and Salon Povera for one of the best days I've had in three months 💛

This was my first time going to this salon. I had a great experience they were very friendly and nice. They have just opened up from the band due to the covid 19 virus. They were very cautious and took your temperature and sanitized your hands before they let you in. They also ask you health questions as well. But I had my hair done by Sky, and she did an incredible awesome job! I just found my new hairdresser!

I have never been to a salon before for personal grooming needs. So I guess my expectations were a little bit low. And I was very nervous. I suffer from severe anxiety. But I will say this: Tricia!!! You made me feel very welcome, and in the end amazing!! I received a cut, color, shampoo, and blowout. I have never felt better in my life. I told Tricia that to her face and I meant it. I told her beforehand that I was using a Groupon and not one time did I feel rushed, etc. She treated me like a client that had been coming to see her for years! I made sure I tipped her, she very well deserved it. Wow. One of the best days of my life. I can’t stay out of the mirror!!
Dee Andrews
22:26 07 Jun 20
I would highly recommend Tricia Howard. I have been going to her for almost a year now and she is wonderful. She has great customer service, professional and strives to understand what look you are trying to obtain. She takes care of all my hair needs. She also colors my hair, highlights and retouches my roots. And I get compliments everyday when I go out. She just did my latest color last week. And that very day I had three compliments. Please go see Tricia.
Lynn Smith
22:24 03 Mar 20
Truly these are hair experts! Tice has done my hair twice now, and I can not recommend her highly enough!!! Her knowledge and technique are absolutely TOP SHELF. You won’t get better work done on your hair anywhere. Color, cut, highlights, styling that you’d normally pay 3-4 times the price for. Salon Povera is upbeat, friendly and fun. And Tice is simply superb at what she does!!!

Tice is great!! I’ve lived in the area since the summer of 2017 and I recently found Tice this past August. I’ve seen her three times now and I won’t go else where. She does a great job cutting and coloring hair. Most importantly, she’s super nice. Highly recommend.

Big things come in small packages, and Salon Povera exemplifies this concept. Tricia was worth the wait, during which I was offered wine, coffee, tea or water! They seem to have a tight knit team and help one another to the benefit of their clientele. I am beyond pleased with my haircut, and even more thrilled with Tricia's recommendations. She tried to save me money instead of upselling me, which is rare and appreciated. I will be back, along with as many friends as I'm able to refer!If you're uptight or have expectations of a spacious luxury salon, you should go elsewhere. But if you want the same experience and quality haircut for a fraction of the price, Povera=perfection.
Lauren Wells
20:36 14 Dec 19

I have been going to Salon Povera for a few years now and I am so happy I found them. Brittany is the BEST! She is so kind, very timely, listens to her clients and always delivers on cut and color. She’s kind of my hair whisperer! Also love the products they carry and the Goldwell color they use. Highly recommend Brittany and Salon Povera.

I’ve had nothing, but the best experience at Salon Povera. A week ago I went for a consultation with Brittany about getting bangs. She was fantastic and helped me decide what would look best. Today I went in for my official appointment and I LOVE how my bangs turned out! Brittany is seriously amazing and so sweet. She really listens to you. I highly recommend her!

I have waited EIGHT YEARS in this amazing state to finally feel like myselfwhile in my hair. I am SO grateful for the thoughtful detail, conversation, guidance, and energy from Katie at Salon Povera! She makes her artistry and talent look effortless. The whole experience was just a dream. The staff so clearly cares about all of their guests, remembering each face that entered personally. I was able to give Katie some moderate guidance and let just her do her magic... Perhaps the best decision I've made all year! As an added bonus, my hair actually smells wonderful! I am so used to leaving a salon and having my senses taken over for days by whatever chemicals used, but of course not at Salon Povera. They have thought of every detail for their customer's fullest experience. Katie, I appreciate your AWESOME work today. You've made me feel like me again! Thank you so much, Salon Povera team!!!

What a wonderful find!! Look how consistent and high the reviews are for Salon Povera! Yes, always a negative mugwort or two but wow this is a great place with excellent stylists! I chose PATRICK to recut my hair, but I feel strongly that the other stylists would have been great choices due to the other reviews.I loved that Patrick understood my finer hair and could see immediately where the last cut went wrong. As a hairdresser from a zillion years ago I could feel and see Patrick assess and reassess my locks as he went along. He is truly an artist and understands the mathematics of an exceptional cut.This place is near Southpoint Mall over ACROSS the street from the Kroger (which may be shut down soon?) and McD's-- Right next to the new Sprouts Grocery Market on Rt 54!!Salon Povera also offers online bookings via various sites where you can see prices for their offerings.Anyway, its been almost 15 years since I got a 'real' haircut (terribly too long hair) and I am glad that Patrick snipped my locks and ran his fingers thru my hair. THANK YOU, PATRICK.Written by Jill Ellen. <3

Patrick makes the client feel extremely comfortable and relaxed. My wife and daughter both swear by Patrick and he gives them great reasons to do so. The work is exceptional, the atmosphere is soothing and they come back home happy. If I had hair, Patrick would cut it.

Gemina Hayes is a wonderful stylist. She is very knowledgeable about all hair types. I’m mixed so my hair has a lot of different textures and Gemina knows what products are best for my hair type. She uses products accordingly which I feel is very critical in getting the outcome that you desire.I had color for a while and she was very good at matching the same color each time I came in as well as maintaining the upkeeping of my hair. Everytime that I have visited her she has done wonders for my hair and the compliments pour in! Salon Provera has wonderful staff and they are all friendly so stop on in! Ask for Gemina !

Just had my hair done today and I couldn't be more happy with the outcome! Patrick took a chance with my very stubborn black hair and far exceeded my expectations with gorgeous highlights! Such a talented man and I cannot wait to continue this project with him! Thank you Patrick 🙂

All of the stylists here seem so relaxed in their element, attentive to detail, and overall amazing at their work; they are obviously highly technical and educated on hair styling and care, and I feel like any of these stylists could get a client's hair fabulous! Big shout out to my own stylist, Patrick! He is an actual gem and rescued my hair from a hot mess. I really feel like I've found my star place for any hair care. Thank you so much!

I am the girl that never gets her hair cut. I have had the worst experiences with hair salons so I just don't go. It is always one bad cut after another. I did go to a chain salon recently and had bangs cut. They were not the greatest and not at all what I asked for. So I did a lot of research. I pulled up every salon in a 25 mile radius. I read all the reviews and bios of the staff. When I found Salon Povera, I was very excited. Brittany's bio caught my attention, so I made the appointment.I picked out a few pictures of what I wanted and one of exactly what I didn't want. She listened to me and understood me completely. She told me step by step what she was doing as she did it and the reason why she was doing it.My hair came out perfect!At one point I had to close my eyes because I almost teared up because I had literally never had a good hair cut! Ok, once when I was twelve, but that was years ago.I actually felt pretty when I left there and wanted to go and tell the world that I finally found that perfect hairdresser that everyone else always seems to have.Well, I am actually glad I waited to write this review because that gave me the chance to share what happened next....I had errands to run and was in the department store and this man was staring at me. He came up to me and told me that he had seen me earlier but didn't say anything but he did not want to pass up the opportunity to tell me that I was gorgeous! (he specifically mentioned the hair)I am telling you, this girl (Brittany) , is amazing!I will never go anywhere else!

My old hairstylist moved and recommended Patrick at Povera. I was a bit nervous as my hair tends to have a mind of its own. I walked out of the salon feeling amazing! I don't think I have ever loved the color as much as I do now. The staff is super sweet and Patrick is awesome. I am so happy I found my new place!

Staff is extremely friendly, great environment, and everyone was very helpful. Brittany is simply AMAZING!!!! My color was excellent and worked well with my skin tone. My cut was perfect and I truly enjoyed my experience with her. I would recommend her for color, cuts, and any tips or advice you may need on anything hair related. Absolutely love this place!!!!!

Patrick and his staff are amazing in skill but also customer service. Patrick has cut my hair for a decade and I have stayed because I have not experienced anyone better. Staff is great...very personable and accommodating. Would highly recommend.

I go to Pam, and she is so awesome! My hair was all sorts of a mess on my first appointment. I had bleached my hair and then attempted to dye it purple. When we tried to remove the purple my hair turned green!! Pam was such a pro, and even as damaged as my hair was, was able to get it blonde in one more session- without damaging it even more! I'm so happy with the way my hair turned out! I can't imagine going anywhere else after seeing Pam!! :)I would so highly recommend this salon, even if you don't go to Pam! Every stylist I see working always has their clients leaving looking fabulous. You're absolutely in good hands as soon as you walk in the salon.(The first picture is my hair before Pam's magic, the second picture is after two back-to-back appointments of color remover and then bleach, and the third picture is the third appointment to remove the last remaining green.)

My favorite salon! I have very thick hair and not many people can cut it well. The first time I saw Patrick he knew exactly what to do to help make it look good and make maintenance easier. The salon had a great atmosphere and very knowledgeable staff!

I went to Salon povera because my sister recently got her hair colored there and she loved it! All I have to say is that this is the first time I go to a salon and leave loving my new hairstyle. Everyone is so nice. Erica did my hair and she actually listened to what I wanted. My highlights could not be closer to the picture I showed her. I am grateful that I finally found a good salon that I can trust.

Patrick and his team are AMAZING! After having had some horrible haircuts by other salons (one that left me with a mullet), I can't say enough about the consistency of Patrick's work. For over a year, he has made each salon experience a great one and I leave loving my hair every time. He even works with my level of ability with my hair, which is limited. I wholeheartedly recommend Salon Povera.

I am a self described hair Diva. And it's taken me a whole year of Yelp-ing and Google-reviewing to find a stylist I felt comfortable leaving my stylist (and great friend) in Boston to try one in the Triangle. I found Patrick at Salon Povera and took the plunge. I was NOT disappointed. He took what I told him I wanted (which was very specific) and asked if he could add his own personal touch. It turned out EXACTLY how I wanted and MORE. I told him I wanted volume and I got a cut that gives VOLUME. I told him I wanted to transition from bright blonde and I got beautiful baby lights. I love it. And to top it off - I got one of the best blow outs I've ever had. I will be back in 8wks exactly for my touch up!

First of all, I just love Patrick. He makes getting my hair done fun, not just another boring task to check off the list. He obviously loves what he does, and is good at it. He listened and gave me what I asked for, and kept me entertained while doing it. What more could you want from a hair stylist?

Brittany did a SPECTACULAR job on my hair and my Mom's hair. If I could give her more stars I would.After moving to the Triangle Area from Chicago, I have spent 5 years searching for a stylist and having several bad experiences at several different salons. Needless to say I was very nervous walking in, but the salon has a wonderfully relaxed and welcoming vibe, and all of the staff were incredibly friendly.Brittany did an excellent job listening to what we each wanted done to our hair, and was able to take the haircuts to the next level by really personalizing it and helping it work perfectly for each of our face shapes and styles.I have spent 5 years missing my stylists from Chicago - but no more. My hair was quite long and quite thick, and Brittany took her time to make sure it was exactly right. Brittany has a true talent for hair and it shines through in her fantastic work.She went above and beyond to make not only my Mom and myself feel welcome, but making my daughter (3 yr.) feel welcome. She is very shy and nervous and I am trying to get her comfortable with having her hair cut for the first time. Brittany made her feel so welcome and allowed her to stay by my side - which was a HUGE deal for her. She walked out of there with a big smile and talked about wanting to get her hair cut all the way until she went to bed that night.Brittany went above and beyond, and her haircuts were BRILLIANT. Great Job!!Even though the salon is about a 30 minute drive for us, it is more than worth it! We will all be back on a regular basis.

From someone that used to get their haircut for $14.00 max at GreatClips or whatever other cheap place there was I can say it's totally worth it to go to Patrick at Salon Povera. He makes it an "experience" as opposed to a cry session when you get back into your car to look at what they did/didn't do, like all the other places I had tried. Not sure what took me so long to use a legit salon but I wouldn't go anywhere else! I drive from North Raleigh and it's well worth it and I've never been disappointed!

I love coming to see Pam at Salon Povera! She is so easy to talk to and always makes sure to give me tips on how to make my hair stay beautiful. The best thing I like about her is that she always asks if I am happy with my hair as she is finishing up in case we need to make any last minute changes. She always does a fantastic job!

Pam is great. I dropped in because I couldn't go one more minute without getting my color done. She was available and we had a great conversation about what I wanted. She made some color suggestions and shared her philosophies. It sounded great so we went ahead. I am so happy with what she did. I can't wait for my next appointment. Thanks Pam!!!

I just got back from my first appointment and I had to write a review right away. I scheduled an appointment for a color correction and haircut. I got partial highlights at a salon in Virginia a couple months ago. I have naturally jet black hair and I went in for some subtle partial highlights that does not look drastic from my natural look. The lady went a little overboard with the bleach and put me under heat for more than 30 mins. After a few weeks, my hair started to look like it had tiger stripes on it. I got so many negative comments.I looked up salons close by in Durham and I am SO GLAD I came across Salon Povera. I mean what place has a 5 star review by more than 30 people these days? NONE. Especially in the salon industry, it is very difficult to have so many customers satisfied.Since it was my first time, I trusted what the previous reviewers had to say and went with Brittany. I have been to quite a few salons before but I can say with confidence that I am yet to come across a stylist that is as passionate and meticulous with hair color than her. She paid attention to every single detail I had to give her and knew what she was doing. I had my hair color restored back to my natural color and even though we were doing permanent color, she was honest about how this might also become a little light over time (due to the terrible bleach streaks underneath) but said it will not go back to what I initially walked in with.I know it is too much to say right after I got it done and you probably think I need to wait a few days to say this but I have enough experience to say how satisfied I am and will be with what she has done to my hair. Can't wait to go back for my next appointment in a few months!Convenient location (barely 5 mins from Southpoint mall), affordable prices (my overall color plus cut and blowdry cost me $140), and educated staff. This salon is a MUST visit if you're around Durham area.

It's a small salon, but fresh and modern, with a very helpful and kind staff. I had booked online with one stylist, who was busy, so Pam was more than happy to take care of me right away. Pam did a fantastic job, especially since I was cutting off a lot of hair to donate to Locks of Love. She made me feel comfortable and gave me a great-looking haircut, suited to my lifestyle and needs. I will definitely be going back!

2nd time at this salon where Lane Clements moved. He has been doing my hair for 3 years. Lane does BEAUTIFUL color for me, tames my curls and gives me great cuts. I highly recommend Lane for all hair needs!

I bought a Groupon for this salon without any previous experience with the stylists. Pamela cut my hair and did a great job! She listened to what style I wanted (I cut off 9" of hair for a donation) and did a great job with natural hand-painted, subtle highlights. I have gotten so many compliments on my new look!Great experience from start to finish, I would highly recommend this salon as well as Pamela, she was great!

I had a wonderful consultation with Pam on Friday for a cut and ombre color. I gave her little direction, but somehow she turned my vision into reality. I love my new "do" and the sassy new vibes that come along with it! Thanks to Pam and the entire crew at Salon Povera!

Brittany Rich is the BEST!!! She has done my highlights and haircuts for over four years and I love it every time. She takes her time and makes sure you hair is exactly what you want. Everyone in the salon was friendly. Never going to anyone else 🙂
