"Nicolette is a hair genius. For ten years I have been searching for a stylist to replace the one who left the industry, and she is it... Nicolette asked a lot of questions to make sure I was getting exactly what I wanted, and knows exactly how to handle fine hair."

"Whimsy is a fantastic salon! I am in my 4th year of college in Montana, but I only get my hair cut and styled here in Boise by Sharon. She always does an excellent job, and gives great product recommendations."
