I had such a great experience with Ethan! He was understanding of what I wanted and gave me a great, detailed cut. I also have longer hair and he was very helpful in making it look sharp again!

Javier is one of the kindest and most talented human beings I have ever known. He has been cutting and styling my hair at Maximum FX since 2002. Since then he has grown the salon into the thriving business it is today. Javier remains a top stylist, a savvy business person, and caring teacher & mentor to others at the salon. True artistry, care, and attention to detail are at the heart of every experience delivered by Javier and the team at Maximum FX.

Ethan was great! He was very knowledgeable about the different needs of different types of hair and what I could do to maintain my specific hair. As for the haircut, it was probably the best haircut of my life.

Ethan was great! I cut my bangs by myself and left a mess LOL. Ethan was able to fix them in a blink of an eye and was very patient! This is my first time coming here and will definitely be back!

First time here and loved the whole experience! I had a cut with Ethan who was so nice. They even gave me a complimentary hand massage while I was getting my hair done. I definitely will be returning.

I have used my very long hair as a security blanket for the last 10 years or so and decided on a whim to make an appointment with less than 24 hours to cancel so that I was locked in. I read everybody’s bio online and chose Ethan as my best fit for a stylist. I showed him photos of the exact haircut that I got at that same location 10 years prior and told him I wanted to do the same length otherwise I didn’t know what I wanted and he walked me through some options. I was extremely nervous the entire time, but Ethan kept the conversation light which I appreciate when I’m having anxiety. I really love my haircut and the suggestions that Ethan gave when I didn’t know exactly what I wanted. Overall, I would recommend this salon and Ethan and probably anybody who works there because everybody seemed very happy, Plus Aveda products smell so good and they offer lots of complementary things. Upon arrival I was offered a drink of my choice, I was given a complementary relaxation option, and I chose a hot hair wrap, and in the middle of my haircut, the sweet front desk lady came and asked if I wanted a hand massage. Kudos for remaining my top salon choice for over 15 years!!

I’ve been a loyal Maximum FX customer for 10 years, but Ethan has quickly become one of my favorites. He’s incredibly talented and fun to chat with. He listened attentively to my requests, and the end result was exactly what I wanted. He truly took the time to perfect every detail, and I couldn't be happier with my hair. I highly recommend Ethan!

Such an amazing style and cut!! Ethan is very experienced and listened to exactly what i was looking for and styled my hair beautifully. No need to style it myself for a wedding I had later that day! 10/10

Thank you Ethan cleaning up my look before the holidays. Feeling fresh and ready to go!

They give you a complementary head massage with aromatic oils, and a hand massage. I went with my best friend and had my hair cut by Ethan and she had hers done by Maria . There stations were right next to each other, and both stylists were very fun! We drank a mimosa and had a little spa hour together and it was great!

This place is always happening Friday mornings! I had an impulse haircut situation and I am so happy I went with it! I'm super picky and I am so happy I didn't let that hold me back. My hair looks awesome! Ask for Maria
