"I scheduled my next appointment right away!"
- Victoria D.
I went to A Touch Of Color for the first time as a pre-trial to get an updo for my engagement party and Ashleigh was the absolute BEST! I wanted to try it out before the big day and I was so pleased with the service, the salon, my hair.. everything. I would highly recommend going there for any special occasion. I scheduled my next appt right away!
all the Praise!
