About us

Who are DiMari Hair & Spa?

DiMari Hair & Spa was founded in 2000 by a group of hairstylists that worked together for many years. After working for "chain" salons most of their careers, they began to grow old of the cold atmosphere and lack of genuine personal attention. They desired a salon where people could feel welcomed and comfortable, regardless of their age, income or status. Although the salon has changed ownership since, this still remains true. We are dedicated to providing you with quality service, quality time, and quality care.
