Joanie has been cutting and coloring my hair for the past two years. She does a great job and the price is very reasonable. Her and Laurie are very fun and welcoming. I can't recommend Joanie's Shear Artists enough!

On 8/1/2024 Sierra Deegan had this to say:
Before, after and what I asked for.. I had some precious red color in my hair so I knew it wouldn’t get super light. I did want more of a balayage to ombré and it feels more like highlights. Regardless I think she did an amazing job it’s pretty she was quick and got me in last minute so I’m happy with it! :) I also think she’s very fair priced!!
