I am a VERY satisfied customer and would recommend Affinity to anyone who wants to be pampered and listened to. I have had several bad experiences at salons so I entered Affinity ready to run. However, I not only got exactly what I wanted, I felt really pampered in the process. The young lady who did my hair showed me time after time that she had heard my concerns and pointed me to products that really delivered. Thank you Affinity for a stunning head of hair that smells great and feels even better!!!

After running errands on a busy Saturday afternoon, I landed in the chair of Affinity owner and master designer Craig Burkholder. His friendly nature immediately put me at ease and he was very intuitive when it came to figuring out what my concerns were with regard to my hair. After the initial consultation, he gave me a wonderfully relaxing scalp and neck massage. At this point, it was clear to me how dedicated he is to providing the experience of renewal to each person who comes through his door.
During the cut and style portion of the visit, he clipped with delicate precision and exacting care. He followed the shears with a fine toothed comb and gave me volume I've never been able to create myself. But it's really not about the sheers or the comb. It's about the hands of a skilled artisan. And he teaches every one of his assistants to work in the same way. I was thoroughly impressed with the level of service that I received. Craig's skill does not come cheap, and it absolutely shouldn't. It's a good value.

I've been a customer at Affinity for over five years and can honestly say I get treated just as special now as I did the first time I walked into the salon. You get a relaxing head message with peppermint oil while discussing your last haircut (what you liked/didn't like) and what you want done today. Then after your hair is washed you get a neck massage with a warm towel. Just the perfect thing to relax you after a hard day at the office or with the kids.
I hosted a "Spa Party" this past Friday night and it was a raging success!! There were 12 of us - you arrive and change into spa robes and slippers. Then relax with your friends as you nosh on appetizers provided by Affinity and wine provided by the hostess. It was a blast and everyone had a great time. The most frequent comment I heard was - why haven't we done this before? and when are we doing this again??
If you want to be treated like the salon's best customer AND get a great haircut and/or color, come to Affinity. I'm high-maintenance and very demanding, so if they can impress me that's impressive!

I have been a customer of Affinity Salon since 1997. What a great place to go for the best services in the area. Crystal in the Spa has magic hands and really treats you to the ultimate spa experience. I have had my hair cut, styled, and highlighted by Adrienne and Tara (both former stylists) and now the owner Craig for the last six years. Peggy, Lou Ann, Bernie, Emily Grace and others greet you with warmth when you arrive and the Aveda tea is great! What's best is that the entire salon staff works as a team. If your stylist isn't available or if you want to change to try something new, you can schedule with someone else and no one is upset. The salon has expanded significantly in the last 10 years, and has been listed in the Top 200 by "Salon Today" for the last 6 years. Affinity is an Aveda concept salon and has all the Aveda products, gift cards, and spa packages for your convenience. It is a busy place, has a fun cafe type atmosphere in the waiting area, and keeps its employees current on the latest trends and techniques in the industry. The staff is friendly and quickly gets to know you. I can highly recommend Affinity to anyone looking for the ultimate in salon and spa experience.

I recently went to Affinity Salon and Day Spa and had such a wonderful experience that I decided I should share it. As soon as I walked in the door I was greeted and escorted to the waiting area where I was offered a drink and some reading material while I waited. I had just gotten my drink when I was whisked away for a head massage and a shampoo....can I tell you I was in heaven before I even got into the stylist's chair!! As soon as I was seated for my cut, my stylist interviewed me on my work and social life so that he could create the best style me. His vision was absolutely great!! During the process he made me feel like I was getting pampered....I absolutely loved it!!! After he was finished he made sure I liked what he had done (which I totally did!!) and escoreted me to the receptionist. I checked out and made sure and booked my next appointment....I can't wait to go back!!! I definitely recommed this salon to anyone because I know you will enjoy your experience as much as I did!!!

WOW! What a beautiful salon and spa. I have visited this salon on many occasions and have received the greatest service from everyone there. The receptionist always greets me with a smile and offers me a beverage. Emily Grace and Stacy have both done my hair and it always looks so wonderful when they finish. I had the most wonderful facial from Crystal (she has magic fingers). The pedicures I get from Holly last so long that my toenails grow out before my pedicure fades. I would recommend this salon and spa to all my friends and family. Thank you for your service.
