Ardeo Spa Salon is in third place this year for its masterful team, services and unique approach. The salon offers customized client consultations because their stylists understand that every client is different. One style doesn’t suit everyone and each individual has their own lifestyle, personality and hair. Stylists meet with their clients to find a hairstyle that works with their hair texture, facial structure to accentuate their features, and personality, most importantly.

Even if you’re coming in for maintenance or a complete change, the team of experienced stylists have the same goal in mind, which is to leave you more confident and expressed through beautiful hair.
