Live out your Steel Magnolias fantasies here, y'all! And Jessica will be your Dolly Parton (true story, as I was leaving the salon yesterday, Dolly came on the sound system so I couldn't help but think about this). For my first appointment, actually even before that, I had a consultation first where she assessed my hair and we discussed what I wanted and what could be done to it. I wanted a balayage situation with purple, but my hair is almost black so it would need to be lightened... gradually because my hair is damaged/thin so she wanted to be careful. My return appointment was an entire day affair thanks to the color lifting. The purple was amazing, however once I got home, I realized it didn't take in the back and there were some orange-y spots so I called the salon. Jessica spoke to me and insisted that I come back so that she could fix it. And I was there for another two hours at no charge. Ultimately there was a small bit of hair that did not take the dye and sometimes that's going to be the case. I still loved the results and literally got compliments wherever I went. I didn't even need touching up but I went back yesterday after four months and I don't know what she did differently but this color is a gorgeous, rich dark brown with slight purple highlights. And I am in love with my haircut, too (slight shaping and trim goes such a long way). Thanks to Jessica for being such an approachable, skilled stylist (check out her Youtube channel) and Sarah and the rest of the reception staff for being so nice. I'm so happy to have the Steel Magnolias salon of my dreams here in New Orleans!

Parking was surprisingly easy and convenient. We made the appointment online and it started on time and with our preselected hair dresser. The general salon and waiting area was a bit too loud for my daughter but when she went to get her hair washed, we noticed a "Quiet waiting area"!! I love this fact, especially for my child who is autistic. My daughter loved the hair massage as her hair was prepped for cutting. The hairdresser was calm, friendly and really listened to what we wanted. She was great at matching the pictures that we brought for examples. We will be back and I think I will also try them for my own curly hair.

For the first time as an adult I decided to chop off several inches for a "reset" and I was so nervous. But I trust this place because I've been a client since 2017 and they've never let me down.

Doesn't feel like everyone is on top of one another. Everyone is nice. The energy is welcoming and warm. Kinda feels like a home actually now that I think about it.

I ended up trusting her to take the lead and she completely delivered. She reshaped everything into a more feminine, balanced look that actually frames my face so much better. I walked out feeling so much more confident and honestly just really happy with my hair again. Nicole is amazing -- you can tell she really cares and knows what she's doing. I'm so glad I found her

The reception team was absolutely amazing and fantastic. The massage therapist herself is why I rated it two stars. This was probably the worst massage I've ever had. She was nice but I'm not sure she's experienced or was not happy with a 24 hour notice for a massage. Her hands were calloused and rough. She kept whispering to herself the entire time. That was interesting and distracting. She didn't focus on getting the knots out. I have had plenty of massages and know my stuff. This therapist didn't introduce herself so not sure who I had but it wasn't great. I know she could feel the knots as she would hesitate and then move on. Pretty disappointed in my experience. The reception staff was the best.
