It was an incredible experience from start to finish! Valerie and her team are truly outstanding — their service, skill, and attention to detail were exceptional. I felt so well looked after throughout. I highly recommend Merluza and can’t wait to return!

I can’t recommend Merluza highly enough. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was so friendly and welcoming. Valerie was amazing — she’s incredibly knowledgeable and truly skilled at what she does. It’s the best haircut I’ve ever had! James dried my hair to perfection, and together they made this curly girl very happy.
