About our Salon + Spa

I’ve been seeing Kori at Maven + Grace for 8 months and can’t recommend her enough. The attention to detail with each and every nail, wide selection of polish, creativity and love the time I spend with her chatting.
As for the salon, it’s beautifully decorated, coffee, nice seating areas and love Sara! Always a great visit when I come to get my nails done. Thank you for creating a beautiful salon!

I came to Sam with a pretty botched hair cut and a really bad color.  She was honest and realistic and told me that it would be a process. After my first appointment I was shocked. She really is an artist and professional. She fixed my hair. She is friendly and funny. My appointments always seem to fly by. I cannot recommend her enough!

Lori is amazing! She does a great job coloring and cutting my hair. The salon is a very nice environment! The other people that work there are all very friendly. I highly recommend this salon!
