One of the most down-to-earth and homely places to be! Natalie was awesome and talking to her was like talking to someone that I've known forever when I literally JUST met her today! I was able to trust her with cutting my bangs, which huge deal, because after high school, I swore to myself to never let anyone touch my bangs again hahah She was able to deliver with how I wanted to cut my hair which is really hard to find around Traverse City because of how thick, wavy/curly, and coarse my hair can be. All I'm saying is that I know where I'll be getting my haircuts and future anything that I want done with my hair from now on! Thanks for letting me entrust my hair to you! It was truly an experience and I can't wait to come in again!

Literally the best tattoo place I've walked in. Very clean, organized and everyone in the shop is extremely easy to talk to and they understand what you're saying. This is the 4th tattoo Charlie has drawn for me, I will never go anywhere else.
