What people say
Regulars, mostly
64 reviews on record across 9 years on Gallivan — most of this salon's business walks back through the door.
We're not reproducing Yelp review text — it isn't ours to republish — and we won't write quotes for a real business. Two things unlock this section: claim the Google Business Profile so live reviews can be embedded, and pick two or three customers happy to be quoted by first name.
