Ashley installed 14 inch tape in extensions to my pixie cut, ear length hair and idk how she did it but she is has some insane talent. Not only did she color match my hair (which has always been difficult) , but she blended the extensions in flawlessly and the wavy texture matches my natural texture so nicely! Overall I am I obsessed with my new mermaid locks! I definitely recommend the ladies at Milk and Honey.

I recently moved to North Carolina and had been struggling to find a hair stylist - until now! Ashley is an absolute gem. From the moment I sat in her chair, she made me feel so comfortable, like I was catching up with an old friend. Her warmth and easygoing nature made the appointment fly by.
She went above and beyond, taking the time to perfect every detail and even styling my hair beautifully afterward. I cant recommend her enough!
