She said she would give a good price. Foolish me I trusted this. After spending 15 minutes with me, omitting the wash she still charged 80 dollars. Then proceeded to tell me I got a deal. All she did was trim my dead ends. Run from this woman, she thinks she is worth as much as an attorney per hour. To add I'm in a wheelchair.

She's a great person to talk to, cares about her job, and cares about your hair and how you want it done.

This review is for Brenda at Lyn Marie's. I have been to see her 3-4 times. She is very nice and…read morealways positive. :) What I really like about her is she works hard to get my hair exactly how I want it. I bring in a picture of what I want and she does it. If you are looking for a new hairdresser then she's perfect to try. She's not going to sit there arguing with you about her vision for your hair and you don't have to worry about her chopping anything off. Her prices are very very reasonable.

I got an appointment with Deanna and I was kind of nervous because my previous haircut was a disaster. But she was amazing! As i tried to explain what I wanted she whips out this black and white picture from her cabinets and this was exactly what I wanted! She is a great communicator. She explained what she was doing while doing so... Ten minutes into my haircut I knew I was in great hands. The thing is this place might not look like much. But the atmosphere, the talent and the people make this place awesome!

Hair We Are is a little hole in the wall salon across from the university, near Frontier and…read moreSaggios. They accept both walk-ins and scheduled appointments. Also - it's a cash-only salon. If you go, ask for Deanna! She is amazing! She listened to everything I had to say, she walked me through what she was doing and why, and she gave me the best haircut I've had in a long time! She told me that she's had clients follow her all over town, from salon to salon, and now I know why. Before I went to Deanna, I had an awful haircut. I have long, thick, blonde hair. When another stylist screwed it up, it was like you could see step or shelves it my hair. It was so ugly that it made me cry. But on a whim, I walked into Hair We Are and it was Deanna who fixed my hair and restored my confidence. I'm going to continue seeing her for haircuts, and I will follow her to whatever salon she decides to work for. If you're looking for a new, affordable, and skilled hairstylist, book your next appointment with Deanna! You won't regret it!

This place is fabulous!…read more A bunch of hairdressers who were tired of the crap they took at their regular salons got together and created one they way they wanted it - and they did a helluva job! The salon itself is really beautiful. Big open space, decorated with just enough panache to be interesting, not so much you are rolling your eyes - Goldilocks perfect. The stations are open and make the most of the space - which is quite large. Excellent natural light from the windows covering half of the wall space, so it feels even more open and welcoming. They keep it really clean, which is really nice for a salon. The bathrooms are spotless, and the rest of the place looks first client-fresh all day. My hairdresser, Laurie - who I recommend wholeheartedly - is so happy there. She's been at a number of salons in the city and she feels completely at home here. So - a moment just for Laurie - she is amazing. Seriously knows her stuff, but will do whatever you want. You know how some hairdressers listen to what you want with your very own hair an then do something totally different? I hate that SO MUCH! Laurie is so not like that - she talks to you before she does anything, makes sure she knows what you want and discusses the entire process with you before she starts. On top of that, if you aren't really certain what you want, she will make all kinds of awesome suggestions and it is in your best interests to listen to her. She really does know her stuff. Plus - she is just really nice and fun to talk to - pretty important in a hair dresser! Regarding the review written by Sara P: Kayla was all about Groupon and Living Social, and that seemed to be going well, but she had a family emergency and actually moved back home to another state to help her family. Living Social is supposed to be handling refunds, but the other hairdressers at Shear Brilliance would be happy to provide you with the service you requested. I understand you were frustrated, but leaving a 1-star review for an entire business, composed of multiple independent contractors, based on your limited interactions with one person, especially now that you know the extreme circumstances - well, it's just not fair. Anyway - I truly love Shear Brilliance and support them wholeheartedly. They are a wonderful group of people, doing a job they love in a place they created together, and it's just plain fun to go there. Please give it a try - Laurie is the best, but all of them are worth your time and money.
