I hope all of you readers out there get to have the same experience as I. I was not to sure what to do with my hair color... I was recommended to go to Allison G. at Salon AKS ...she knew exactly what to do. Not only did she give me the best and most natural color my hair has ever been, she was the most professional colorist I have ever been to. If you are looking for a new look or need help with your current color Allison is the one to book an appointment with!!!

Looking for a new styalist (mine is now out of state) is always a bit of a challenge, but my experience at Salon AKS was among my worst ever. My first clue should have been that there was only one other client in the salon. I should have walked out after the second red flag appeared: no matter how many times I described how I wanted my hair, the styalist persisted in planning a totally different cut. Ultimately I left with hair that looks mediocre at best and embodies none of the qualities that I requested from the styalist. It is possible that there are styalists who do better work at AKS, but given the dated look of the place, the absence of other clients and my unfortunate-looking hair, I will be going elsewhere in the future.
