Love my curls and cut as always. ERIC you are my stylest for life ❤️


Dec 06, 2024

Eric is a wizard when it comes to curly hair! He is so good at giving a personal cut that fits the kind of curls that you have. Was definitely pleasantly surprised of how my curls could look.


Dec 06, 2024

Eric was wonderful! He did an amazing job cutting and styling my curly hair. Showing me how to use the styling product made a big difference.


Dec 06, 2024

Had a great first appointment with Eric! He is very knowledgeable and has a lot of experience to share. He gives you all the tips you need and gives you a curly hair transformation that you will love!


Nov 06, 2024

Eric did a great job cutting and styling my curls! He was great at explaining all things curls. I will definitely be going back.


Nov 06, 2024

Eric is an artist for curly hair and color. I love my hair. How it looks, feels and moves. Thank you for making me feel beautiful 😍


Nov 06, 2024

Great appointment! I arrived as he was finishing with another client and was able to see the method from different perspective, which helped me understand better what I need to do. I appreciate Eric having a printout of the process and products to take home with you since it’s a whole new routine, at least for me it is. He was kind and patient and thorough with explaining everything. I loved my cut and I wish I would’ve taken a before picture so I could post before and after. I never imagined I had such wavy hair, I just always had frizzy hair.


Nov 06, 2024

Very professional. would definitely recommend.


Nov 06, 2024

best person thats ever touched my hair!


Oct 06, 2024

Love my hair, love him!


Sep 06, 2024

Again, Eric worked his magic on my hair. I’ve found that when I say the words, ”I trust you to do what you think is best,” I’m never disappointed!


Sep 06, 2024

Before Eric, I never did pay attention to my curls in the way that I should have. And when it comes to the traditional way we cut our hair as men, there wasn’t detailed care going into my curls. Eric not only gave me the cut that my curls should have been getting, but has and continues to teach me how to take care of my unique hair!


Sep 06, 2024

Eric really knows hair! Enjoyed working with him and look forward to future appointments.


Sep 06, 2024

I’ve never felt more confident in my curls and my hair is the healthiest it’s ever been!! 100% an investment in yourself, highly highly recommend


Aug 06, 2024

Always a pleasure going to see Eric. My hair looks amazing!!


Aug 06, 2024

I have never walked out of Eric’s Salon and been dissatisfied with my hair. I always love the color or cut of my hair. I always look forward to my next appointment.


Aug 06, 2024

I went to Eric for a curly hair coaching session. I purchased all of the products that he recommended and since I’ve left, I’ve been able to style my hair multiple times with results that make me feel confident. I haven’t felt confident with my hair and its natural state in over a year and I highly recommend curly coaching sessions with Eric.


Aug 06, 2024

I went to Eric today with high expectations, and boy did he deliver! left with so much knowledge about my hair, not anyone else's, just mine. And finally I have the right products for my hair to make it look it's best! No more wasting money on this or that. Eric is so knowledgeable, he shared so much good information, he's the best! Thanks Eric, can't wait to see you again! #besthaircutever! Home Book

To say I’m in love with my curly hair now is an understatement! Eric did an amazing job, both with the haircut and the styling. He gave me detailed instructions on how to wash, style, and dry my hair, as well as what I can do to protect them at night. He’s also such a sweet soul and took his time with my appointment so that we could get it just right. I’d 100% recommend his services to anyone with curls! Trust me, you’re going to love the results and what your curls can do!


Jun 06, 2024

Eric has done my hair a few times now and he's been a godsend for this curly-girl! He has clearly taken the care of his curly clients very seriously and educated himself (and me) on the best care for those who prefer to wear their curls naturally. Highly recommend!


Jun 06, 2024

Eric is very friendly, knowledgeable, and talented! We went to him bc my daughter has curly hair, that I do not know how to manage. She did not like having curly hair and was frustrated. After her appointment my daughter absolutely loved her hair- and now knows how to take care of it!


Jun 06, 2024

Eric was well worth the wait - there's a reason he books so far in advance! My curls have NEVER looked so good or been this bouncy, it's unbelievable! I loved the intimate setting, where I could really focus in on all the great info and techniques Eric shared to recreate my curls at home. The printed instructions are also a confidence booster to know I can style my curls on my own. He even gave refresher tips, but I didn't have to do anything on day 2 (seriously, unbelievable!). I'm absolutely thrilled with what Eric was able to do with my curls and highly recommend his expertise to anyone struggling to showcase their curls - he'll give them new life!


May 06, 2024

Eric was AMAZING! If you have curly hair Eric is your guy! Such a fun atmosphere & I couldn’t have asked for better results. My hair has never looked this good. He takes his time to educate you on exactly what he’s doing and how to do it at home. I can’t wait for my next visit. I’m also adding my before & after pictures.


Apr 06, 2024

Eric did an amazing job on my hair! He is the only hairdresser I have ever been to who really understands curly hair. Eric really listens to you and gives you the hairstyle you want. He takes the time to teach you how to care for and style your hair at home. I have never been happier with my hair or my hairdresser!


Apr 06, 2024

Eric did not rush through any of the process - from the cut to the instructions on how to treat your hair to the best products to use. I would definitely recommend!


Apr 06, 2024

Eric is first rate every single time. I am totally in love with my hair because of his skill at cutting and educating me on how to treat my hair. Eric didn't just fix my hair. He completely transformed my look for the better. Highly recommended.


Apr 06, 2024

My coaching session was very informative and friendly. I look forward to returning for my first cut!


Apr 06, 2024

Was the best curly hair experience I ever had, education along with a great cut and style. Can't wait to see the progress after following all of the new methods. Erik is what I needed 30 years ago.


Mar 06, 2024

Eric is certainly the “curl guru”. I walked in with my hair in a mess and walked out with bouncy curls all over!! My hair is so much better. I would highly recommend Eric Kelley to anyone in need of their curly hair management.


Mar 06, 2024

He is really good but ….. he is very expensive and don’t cancel on him , he charges 160 to cancel . Life happens that’s is a crazy fee . At least apply it to the next hair appointment .


Feb 06, 2024

Eric is THE BEST person to go to if you have curly hair. He has truly transformed my curls!


Feb 06, 2024

Eric is the BEST! I’ve heard different hairstylists “snub” the idea of a hairstylist being a curl specialist, but Eric embodies the title in every sense. He’s extremely knowledge about curls, hair products, and just hair in general. I started seeing him when my curls were destroyed from postpartum hair loss, and not only did he fix my curls, but he also taught me every step of how to maintain them at home. I get compliments on my hair pretty much every time I leave the house, which I never did even before having my baby. 10/10 experience. Also, he’s a cool guy on top of everything else. :)


Feb 06, 2024

For over a decade, he has been the only person I trust with my curls. With his attention to detail, I always leave with a perfect cut and style. He truly is an expert in curly hair. I love that he is so willing to share his knowledge and teach me how to care for my curls so I can achieve that fresh out of the salon look at home (although his is still more perfect). I could not recommend him more highly!


Feb 06, 2024

He is so professional and in simple words HE IS THE BEST!!!


Feb 06, 2024

I enjoyed meeting Eric and having my initial appointment with him. He knows curls and was thorough in explaining how to apply the recommended products that were used during the appointment. It’s been many years since I had a good cut for my curls ~~~ thank you very much, Eric, I look forward to seeing you again!


Feb 06, 2024

I had a wonderful experience at Eric Kelley salon. Eric was knowledgeable in managing my curly hair type, and exceeded my expectations. I was given an amazing hair cut and written instructions on how to care for and style my curls at home. I plan to return and definitely recommend him!


Feb 06, 2024

I’ve search and searched for someone like Eric. I’ve been on my curl journey for the last year to fall back in love with my hair. I was overcome with joy from my experience and have gained my confidence back. He’s super knowledgeable and walks you through every step on how to achieve the salon look at home. Eric is also extremely nice and welcoming.


Feb 06, 2024

The universe's top-notch hairstylist! Incredibly attentive! I appreciated the guidance on at-home hair maintenance, yet I yearn for that daily touch to keep looking beautiful every day.
