“VaunKress is one of the nicest shops I’ve ever stepped foot in. The bond of the stylists highlights a very peaceful environment. I couldn’t be happier with the experience and beyond excellent services provided each visit.”

— Devonte M.

“Kameche was very kind and personable. She asked good questions so she would have a good idea about what I wanted. I had been to other stylists explaining what I wanted and not quite getting it. Kameche nailed it on the first attempt. She was timely, efficient, and everyone there was so friendly. She has gained a new client!”
