Cindy Reeves - Advanced Artist
Hello, I'm Cindy Reeves, a John Paul Mitchell stylist/colorist of 22 years. While I specialize in hair color, highlights using various blonding techniques, I also offer men's & women's cuts, perms, blowouts, and weekly sets. I especially love pampering my salon guests at the shampoo bowl with a relaxing head massage along with individualized hair and scalp treatments. In my time away from the salon, you can find me hanging out with my family as I've moved back to my hometown of Kinston after being gone for 25 years. I would love to work with you to find your perfect cut, color, or style.
