I would love to highly recommend this beautiful place to everybody looking for the best service!
I have done keratin treatment with a stylist Alexandra, and all I have to say that she is doing an outstanding performance of her job!
Special thanks to the owner, Elena, that I’ve met recently! All the staff is very friendly and careful started from the the front desk to the stylists!
Love this place, only professional people work here! Best of luck and happy clients! 🙂
When I walked into Inspirations Salon my hair was way over due a haircut for a month and I felt aged tired and uncomfortable with myself. The moment Natalia picked up her shears and grabbed onto my bushy head of hair and removed and shaped my wild head of hair I knew I was in the hands of an “Expert.
I’ve always had exceptional service at Inspirations Salon! I’m always greeted with a smile and a drink. The staff and atmosphere is always friendly . I tried different stylists: Erinn, Marina, Olena and they all are extremely professional.
