After reading the reviews, i reached out & Pamela at the front desk was amazing at navigating me to Peter through an email consultation. He did exactly what we discussed and it's actually one of the best shapings/cuts I've had in a long time. As a stylist we can be super picky and annoying. Not here! I immediately felt comfortable and assured he knew exactly what i was asking. He even slowly walked through the process a little at a time to be even more sure. Not much else to say the experience was amazing, the salon is super cute and comfy, everyone was welcoming and approachable. Had a nice lil convo with Chance who styles next to Peter. Will be seeing Peter again when i need my pesky ends cleaned up and layers shaped again. Thanks Orbit peeps

The front desk staff have always been so kind and helpful whenever I check both in and out. They also offer drinks such as sodas, wine, coffee, beer, and water. I have been seeing Destiny for about 4 years now and she has been amazing. She took me from black to a beautiful ash blonde. There have been a few times where I've had to see other stylist just because my schedule didn't line up with her, and they have all been amazing as well. There really isn't anyone I wouldn't trust seeing at the Collective. Every stylist I've seen has always been so attentive to the details and informative when I come in with the most vague idea of what u want to do with my hair. Over these years I've come to love my visits to the collective and I recommend anyone looking for a new salon to check them out!

I don't know what she did, but my hair had NEVER been softer. Some stylists are still wearing masks, many are not, but every time I saw a customer come in with a mask, I overheard their stylist ask the customer if they wanted their stylist to wear one (and Sarah asked me as well!). I think they could do a better job of explaining all the services that will be done to accomplish your goal, because it felt like a bit of a whirlwind to me, but I also didn't ask. All in all, it was a GREAT experience (complete with complimentary drinks!).

Are you wondering why I gave one star? Honestly, Wheelhouse Salon deserves none, but that wasn't an…read moreoption. My experience here was extremely disappointing, aside from my initial consultation with Angelika on Oct. 20th. During the consult, I explained that my main goal was to blend my 3-month gray grow-out into something easier to maintain. I showed her photos of the soft gray-blended look I wanted, and she never once said it couldn't be achieved in one session. She filled out a laminated service card with the exact services and prices required, and I booked based on that information. On Oct. 28th, I arrived for the first color appointment. After reviewing the same photos again, Angelika brought over another stylist, and they decided to add a shadow root. When she finished, my hair looked nothing like what I asked for--I left with blue roots and barely any blonde. She apologized and said she'd fix it at my next scheduled appointment on Nov. 12, which included both the correction and a keratin treatment. Since she promised it would all be handled then, I trusted her. When checking out that day, I was charged $393.32--lower than the quote--but still tipped 20% because she said she planned to fix everything. My total came to $471.98. On Nov. 12th, I showed up expecting the correction and the keratin, as previously discussed. Instead, I was told I had to choose one service because she hadn't booked enough time. I chose the keratin since that's what she had scheduled. Afterward, while checking out, the front desk tried charging me $476 instead of the quoted $315, saying I "hadn't paid enough" at the first visit and they needed to collect an additional $40. This was never communicated. They removed one $40 error, but I still ended up paying $456.54. After realizing that I had now spent over $900 and still didn't have anything close to the color I asked for, I messaged Angelika directly through the contact card she provided. She read the message but never replied. When I called the salon to review the charges, another error was found and I was refunded $48.29--even though their written policies state they "don't offer refunds." It was clear I had been overcharged multiple times. I reached out again to clarify my Dec. 1 correction appointment. The salon later texted me saying Angelika felt she only owed me a base color and blow-dry, and that I would have to pay for the foil and toner--another $274. This would have pushed the total cost of this disaster to well over $1,200. They also claimed that my desired gray-blended look takes multiple sessions, something never mentioned in the consult or at any point before taking my money. Angelika had expressed total confidence that she could achieve the look. At this point, nothing made sense. How can stylists turn dark brown hair into pink, purple, or blue in a single appointment, yet somehow blending soft gray tones supposedly requires multiple expensive sessions? Either they lack the skill or they are price-gouging. I'm sharing this to save others from the time, money, and frustration I experienced. Always take a photo of the laminated service card--they rely on it, and you should too. My before photo, the inspiration photos I provided, and the results I left with were not remotely aligned. My 3-month gray grow-out is gone, and I paid nearly a thousand dollars for a result I never asked for.

I've finally found that at Clip Joint. I recently went to Laura for my haircut with very high expectations, and she went above and beyond to exceed them. I left with the best haircut I've ever gotten. I had never met Laura before, but she made me feel as if we were lifelong friends, which has never happened when I went anywhere for a haircut. The location is also really convenient if you're downtown - it's right across the street from Paramount and next door to the entrance of the Frank Nelson building on 20th St N - and you have the option of free parking in the 2nd avenue parking deck next to the City Federal building if you're driving. If you're in or around downtown Birmingham and you're in the need of a great haircut, call Laura for an appointment or stop by for a walk-in. I guarantee you'll leave Birmingham's best kept secret of a hair salon feeling refreshed and impressed!
