A good haircut and color should make you feel great. It is one of the most important accessories you own. It is an accessory you wear every day, all day. Your hair should be easy to care for while complimenting your specific face shape, eye color, skin tone, and lifestyle. That is what we strive for.

At Onyx, we are dedicated to continuous education and constantly improving our skills. We attend annual hairshows and have guest educators from Redken and other companies come to teach classes on the latest techniques throughout the year. All designers have been 100% trained or retrained at Onyx. This creates consistency in our overall service quality. We also use the same tools, which are the highest grade in the industry. At Onyx, we work together as a team so you may enjoy the talent of one or all of our designers.

Testimonials
Dakota
Fantastic ambience with amazing customer service. Was very surprised when I saw all the services offered. I live in NYC six months out of the year and pay anywhere between $350.00 - $400.00 for bleach, toner, shave, and haircut. Honestly, was more impressive with my service at onyx for about half the price. If your looking for a one stop shop that you can actually reply on this is the place.
Marcey
As always the atmosphere is so inviting and comforting when you come in. You are greeted by sincerely happy people. They work together to make sure each haircut and coloring is working for their clients. I love to see them consult with one another on clients. I listen to terrific music in a very clean and safe environment while Kate takes away my gray, Gives me a cut that suits the natural waves and curls of my hair, and when I reluctantly leave because who wants to leave a fun place? I have a great smile on my face and my confidence has been strengthened with a terrific look that I leave with each time. Never fails. Love you all!!
Savannah
This is my go-to place to have my hair done! I love how clean and neat the environment is, how kind and talkative the hairstylists are, and how great my hair always comes out! 5/5 I totally recommend these girls rock!
