I asked for a blunt cut with face framing layers and got a beautiful haircut by Lindsey at A Cut Ahead. She is kind and personable. The soothing shampoo & scalp massage was a nice touch. Pricing is reasonable too. I highly recommend Lindsey & A Cut Ahead. read more

Incredibly unprofessional! I booked a haircut & blow out. I have wavy to slightly curly hair. The hair stylist straight out told me she was unable to blow dry & style my hair because she did not know how to. Literally told me to go home and use my Dyson Airwrap (which I did). I left the salon looking like this after a 'professional' blowout. I was still charged full price. Avoid at all cost. read more

Had appointments scheduled days in advance and they cancelled on me twice in a row. I decided not to reschedule for a third time.

After receiving a horrible hair cut at "A Cut Ahead", I went to another salon to see what they could do. The hair tech said that my haircut was one of the worst she has ever seen. In order for them to fix my haircut, she had to trim more hair, which left me with a really short haircut. Its a good thing hair grows out. I'm really sad that my hair is this short. read more

I really hate to bad mouth anybody but.. I went to this salon and asked for a spiral perm. I paid 190 dollars for barely curled frizzy and snarled hair everyday. I did this for a wedding and now I'm considering shaving my head. I would think when it comes to something permanent they would let someone who knew what they were doing. I'm devastated I had beautiful hair before this. I can't do anything with it. read more

I have followed Carrie to a couple of salons because she is the best! She understands curly hair (she has it too) and is trained in the Deva technique. She listens to me and respects what I want (even with my super crazy quirks about the length of my bangs) and she wants her clients to be happy with their hair. She taught me some things about how to care for my curly hair that I have never heard or tried before and it's helped me a lot. She's really good with color too. Carrie is good with staying on time too which I respect. She is really funny, smart, talented and I just really appreciate her! Update: As of February 1st, Carrie will be offering eyelash services! read more

Marina cut my hair and did an awesome job! I had medium/long hair and got it cut to my shoulders. She made sure to check in throughout the process to make sure I was comfortable with the length- which I appreciated so much! Talking with her was great and I love my new haircut. Marina is new to the salon and I would recommend so much! read more

I have been going to Angelina for over six years. She always has my color and cut on point . Whether it's normal everyday color or extra pizazz for competition she knows exactly how to hit it out of the park! I refuse to let anyone else touch my hair. She even works with my crazy fire deployment schedule. She is color goddess and with my natural red hair trying to cover grays and keep it looking true is so hard to do! Pic below is of awesome color for a fitness competition and for my calendar shoot. read more

A Cut Ahead - Hair Salons Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

Rachael cut my hair and my husbands hair and we are so pleased. She cut our hair exactly how we wanted and was very personable!

I called for an appointment and they were able to schedule me the same week. The location was easy to find and I was greeted with a friendly smile. Michelle did my hair and she was ON POINT! I told her what I needed to have done, she asked a few questions to clarify that she understood my request, and she did an excellent job on my hair. Hair pricing was also very reasonable, you can always call ahead to get a quote. I was a little wary at first due to being a first time client, but I was very pleased with the outcome and more confident now with the staffs' professional abilities. Since I like to stay with a great hairstylist/hairdresser when I find one, I'll be returning for touch-ups. read more

I made an appointment on 3-15-2019 for sat 3-16-2019 with Carrie. Well Carrie text my phone waking me up at 5:24am on sat saying she got a nasty stomach bug on Friday and can't make my appointment. So I called bs because no one in their right mind would be texting anyone at this time of morning if you were sick the day before. Someone should have called me on Friday so I could have found someone else to do my hair. Now all my plans are ruined and the day can't be fixed. Stop going out the night before if you have early appts. Too much green beer will make you sick!!!! I do not recommend this place or Carrie. Probably a bad hair dresser anyways! Lisa So the owner Laurie called me and she did everything she could to rectify the situation but I've already made an appointment elsewhere and moved my day around so there was nothing either of us could do to fix this. I will in the future give them another try. Thank you Laurie for acknowledging my feelings. read more

Angel Lina (Angel) has been coloring, cutting and styling my hair for over 15 years now! I followed her when she moved to A Cut Ahead over 10 years ago. She's truly awesome! Best cut/color always! I tried other salons, including Veda, but was sorely disappointed with the price and results. Give Angel a try - what do you have to lose? read more

I'm here on vacation and found this Salon on Yelp. Wanted to treat myself to getting my hair done and it was time also. I was in need of highlights and a cut very bad. Carrie did the BEST JOB!! The blonde highlights is the best I've had in a long time. Came out beautiful bright and blonde all over not just my roots. I went to a very high end salon at home and paid $175 for this type of visit and wasn't as pleased. Carrie knows what she is doing. Thank you for a wonderful experience. read more

Stylist didn't listen to what I wanted to have done. I scheduled for a DevaCurl cut and lowlights foil. Additionally I wanted to donate my hair which would have equaled well over 12 inches. My hair was below my waist. She banded my hair at shoulder length and cut roughly ten inches. 1. I asked for dimensional color with 'lowlights' foiled throughout my natural hair color. See link if unfamiliar with the term. http://www.totalbeauty.com/content/slideshows/hair-highlight-ideas/page3 Received: All over color (no natural color left) with 2 similar hues one stacked on top of the other at the crown and base of my hair, bizarrely enough she still managed to do this with foils. I was charged for both applications (expected) and some ambiguous charge called a "touch-up" this is unclear because when you get all of your hair dyed this will ALWAYS include the roots so I'm unsure how this applies...I didn't ask for all-over color in the first place, just lowlight foils; the receipt was not itemized so who knows about that charge... 2. Asked for a DevaCurl cut. Received: an unfinished traditional wet cut. This may have been due to her next appointment arriving and she felt rushed to finish my cut and style. She made some comment about loving the length and aborted the cut early. 3. Dyed first then cut second. I payed for roughly 4-5 inches of dyed hair that got cut and thrown away. Additionally she had to mix extra color. 4. She dyed my face. For what ended up being over $200 (with product and tip) for a hair appointment, this is unacceptable and a rather amateur mistake. In hind sight I would have been better off going to a franchise where if the stylist didn't listen to me I would have only spent $80-$125 at the most (with tip and product) to include taking AND sending out my hair donation. read more

Carrie is an AWESOME stylist at A Cut Ahead. She is so knowledgeable about color and hairstyles. What I love about Carrie is her honesty. If a color or cut is one that she doesn't think will work, she will let you know and explain why she feels that way. I highly recommend Carrie! read more

Michelle is an amazing and talented stylist who always listens to your desires for your hair and advises what will and won't work for your hair!!! Very knowledgeable!!! read more

I've been going to A Cut Ahead hair salon for about 7 years now and absolutely love my stylist, Laurie Goode. She's also the owner of this lovely salon and runs a tight ship and has high standards for all of her stylists. I can personally attest that Laurie does an excellent job with cutting and styling thin, fine hair on women, and she is an outstanding colorist as well. Their prices are pretty standard for the Colorado Springs area, and I'm willing to bet their prices are not as ridiculous as some of the other more expensive salons in town. As we've moved to another state about a year ago, but we still come back to the Spring about 4 or 5 times each year, I always try to book my color and cut appointments with Laurie whenever I can. She's that amazing! read more

Michelle is THE BEST! She is so sweet and knowledgeable and communicates very well to make sure you get exactly what you want. She gave me a fantastic, fresh-looking cut and I went back a few weeks later for some out of the ordinary color, which she nailed! I highly recommend her! read more

Marlo's the best! She asked good questions to figure out what I wanted, and had helpful suggestions. She was gentle with my hair (and I'm usually nervous about this, because I get perms) and did exactly what I wanted. Also enjoyed our conversation. :) I'll be back. Thanks Marlo! read more

I went to a different salon for a trim, they ended up cutting off way to many inches from my extremely curly hair, and not evenly. It was awful and I was distressed. I looked up salons that specialize in curly hair and this one popped up. Carrie was wonderful and right away I could tell she was doing something different with my hair. Curly girls ask for Carrie! read more

It had been quite a while since I had a haircut and highlights. I have been searching for someone who listens what to you and try to get across my thoughts to the stylist. I brought styles and pictures of what I had in mind. My hair is very thin and usually I have a few layers etc. Michelle did such a great job. I would recommend her without a doubt. My hair has never looked better...My highlights really did the trick and she even was able to work with my back colic which has always a problem. It's been a few days, I have washed my hair and have been able to style my hair with few tips from Michelle..Thank you Michelle, I will be back soon... CAF read more

Jenny is an amazing stylist! She is a color expert, like she gave me advice I've never heard before! And she's so friendly too, which made the process really fun! I've definitely found my new hair dresser! I highly recommend her! read more

A Cut Ahead is my go-to salon in Colorado Springs. I have since moved away and have not yet found a salon that is anywhere near as warm, welcoming and full of talented people. I try to visit whenever I'm in town. You can't really go wrong with any of the stylists, but Haleigh always gave me an incredible cut, and I recently had my hair dyed by Michelle and she did an excellent job. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a great hair experience! read more

Michelle is an amazing hair stylist. She is very knowledgeable on cuts, colors, and recommends products that you need for your hair. She even recommended color and cut because I wasnt sure what to do. I just knew I wanted something different. She is very flexible when it comes to scheduling as well. I highly recommend her for all of your hair needs from color to cuts to just styling. I will be seeing her for all my future hair needs!!! read more

I was going to try the international beauty schools for a haircut, but they close daily from 4-6:00 for dinner break, which couldn't be any more inconvenient to people getting off work! So I searched Yelo for the closest salon with good ratings, and walked in to A cut Ahead. I was immediately served by Kelsey. She gave me a great cut, was great to chat with, and adorable with great hair herself! Often at the beauty school the students have not so attractive styles and lots of wild colors, which makes me question what they are gonna do to my hair! I left feeling great and have loved my cut. I will definitely return to Kelsey. read more
