I was completely dissatisfied with the keratin treatment. It was terrible -- it had absolutely no effect on my hair. Honestly, it was the worst decision I've ever made. read more

Today I drove from Santa Fe to Albuquerque for my hair appointment with Jessi Campbell at Gloss Salon. We confirmed via the usual text system and I had it in my calendar. I get there and the staff tells me she is not there. She thought she had booked me for 11:30 and 2 pm ... I never agreed to an entire day of color - never have never will. Base color plus maybe 3 or 4 highlights .. that is what we agreed to. I have worked with the best colorists in NYC, LA, San Francisco. Base plus a few highlights is 1.5 hours max ... I checked my voice mail - nothing. She texted me as I was driving to ALB ... not good ... Gas to Alb is $30. Plus my time as a coach and therapist 2 hours $500 read more

Amazing hair artists here. My dry, frazzled hair was two tone from an old hair color. But look at it now! Soft. Glossing was just what I needed. read more

See all

brandi was wonderful i love my hair, she even guarantees her work in case you go home and dont like it or cant style the same way. i wanted about 2 inches off and she brought out a ruler and I went for 2.5 off and once we were done I decided to cut more, I got 3 inches off and I love it. read more

Are you tired of running home after your salon appointment to re-style your hair because you were unhappy with the end result and don't want anyone to see you? If so. Then you need to call Gloss Salon and make an appointment with Michelle Martinez. When she is finished styling your hair the last thing you will want to do is go home and rearrange your hair. What you will want to do is go out and show off your new hairdo. PS..Don't be surprised if strangers come up to you and ask you "who did your hair?" Just hand them a business card and tell them to make an appointment. read more

I've been going to Tiffany Romero to get my hair done for years now and she just recently moved salons, and is now at Gloss. My first time here was the other day and it was was a very pleasant experience. I liked that the salon was smaller (than the last one) and had only 5 booths. It makes it feel more personal and not so big and empty. The salon is still a work in progress (bare walls, etc) but the decorating they have done so far is sheik and modern. Location is nice because it's still close to Nob Hill, and you can actually park in a parking lot and not have to drive around searching for a spot! I highly recommend going to Gloss if you're looking for a great stylist, location and fun atmosphere! read more

Excellent all around. Brandi was my stylist and she's very experienced and gave me and excellent cut and color. Do not hesitate to book with her. She's fantastic. read more

Tiffany has been coloring, cutting, and styling my hair for about 7 years and she is awesome! She's always learning new techniques and keeping up with the new trends. She has done highlights, ombré, lowlights, coloring, and many cuts on me and I'm yet to be disappointed. The atmosphere at Gloss is really relaxed and they play great music. They also have great phone etiquette which is unusual in Abq! Go see Tiffany and prepare to be impressed! read more

Gloss Salon - Great layers and ombré - Hair Salons Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Nothing makes me happier than getting my hair done at Gloss Salon. The staff is friendly and thoughtful and they are masters at their craft. The atmosphere is hip and modern, with excellent music to soothe the ears while relaxing and getting your hair cut. There is always laughter and good conversations being had between the hair stylists and their customers. I've had the pleasure of Jen Logan cutting and coloring my hair for the past 18 years. Without fail, people will comment and ask where I get it done, which is a testament to the superior quality of Jen's work. Jen is thorough with her work and pays attention to detail. She excels with cuts, color, and varying hair textures and length, creating a look that is perfect for you - even encouraging you to try new things that you may not otherwise have tried. I wouldn't trust anyone else to do my hair. read more

The salon is very nice, clean and chic. The receptionist was polite and was nice enough to take an appointment over the phone when I called last minute. Had an excellent experience with Yesenia today. I wanted a simple, no fuss experience-this was exactly what I was looking for. But when it comes to my hair, but I appreciate a stylist who listens to me and offers some tips and thoughts on the cutting process. Yesenia did just that and provided a great cut. All in all I had a nice chat with her, got my hair back to looking great, and was in and out in an hour. read more

I am always amazed at the way Emmy cuts my hair -- I never knew how specialize cutting short hair could be! But she not only does a superb job, but is a delight to be around. Because of her skill, my haircuts stay looking great longer. I'm also appreciate how Jennifer leads her business in being safe, innovative and welcoming. Thanks! read more

I have been salon hopping for the past year, unable to find a salon or stylist I really like. And when I have found a salon, it's often inconsistent and/or the prices are ridiculous...But now I have finally found a salon to stick with for a long time! Gloss is tucked away in the Nob Hill area. The vibe of the salon is open and very clean. Everyone who works there is kind and welcoming. I had an appointment with Riann who did such an amazing job with my color. Finding someone who does blonde properly is always nerve racking. I've always been so paranoid about having the right tone of blonde, but not with Riann. She listened to what I wanted and was real with me on what we could achieve. We also made a long term plan for my hair goals and getting regular trims (something I'm terrible about) which I really appreciated. I had such a great experience at this place and would recommend Gloss and Riann to anyone looking for a reasonably priced salon that not only does an amazing job, but also genuinely cares about their clients. read more

First time in 4 long months since I got my hair done. I wanted to do something different this time since I've had ombré for little over a year. I researched so many other salons but this one stood out to me. I made an appointment with Nicole and I have to say that she is the most sweetest/knowledgable hair stylist I've ever met! She will give you honest advice about your hair and she does her best to make your hair goals come true, but in time to keep it healthy. I highly recommend Nicole if you're looking for the perfect summer time hair! read more

Gloss Salon - Wanting to do a blonde balayage but I want to take things slow. Still a very nice color! :) - Hair Salons Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

48.00 for the worst haircut of my life. I requested a shag haircut. No fuss, easy, light. Please more texturing with the texturing scissors. Four requests to help her get my hair to the photo I presented. Wind blown, fun. Inches were removed. She blew it out and straightened it! Omg. Gross. I drove straight to Great Clips next to Sprouts. Em heard what I wanted. Cut more and listened to my story and fixed the mess for which I tipped generously. read more

Jen has been doing my hair since I moved from FL in 2006 until I moved to Las Vegas in 2010. I think she is the best colorist in town. Not only does she rock with color and scissors, but also she is an amazing person. I get more compliments on my hair than I ever had since she started being my stylist. http://www.redken.com/sa... to read about her. The salon staff is professional and friendly. The salon is modern and urban, but welcoming. I highly recommend both the salon and Jen. You definitely get what you pay for, well worth the money. Since I have moved to Las Vegas and have a new stylist, I still miss my Jen hair. Best wishes for success in your new salon. read more

Riann was amazing - she took my dark hair (with a giant section of stubborn bright blue dye) to a natural looking blonde in two sittings. She immediately understood what I wanted. I like to leave some decisions up to the stylist since they know more than me about hair, and some stylists take that to mean you don't really care how your hair looks and sort of phone it in, but Riann really took it upon herself to make sure my hair looked really great and was up to her own high standards. Also, every hairstylist I have ever had has been a lovely person and I genuinely enjoy talking to them and hearing about their lives. I'm not saying that making conversation with the person doing my hair is unpleasant or burdensome. But...I am an introvert and if it were all the same to everyone either way, I'd just as soon not make small talk for several hours while my hair gets dyed. Riann is perfectly friendly and she's happy to talk to you if you talk to her, but she's not super chatty. She mostly just thought her thoughts and I read work emails on my phone and it was quiet bliss. Overall, I am sad I'm moving out of town just when I've finally found a stylist who I love. read more

Loved my visit. Made feel feel very comfortable and I trusted them to cut/color/ highlight my hair. All of the staff were professional, knowledgeable and caring with each client. I spent about 4 hours there and it didn't seem that long at all. read more

Great place! Very welcoming and relaxing! My stylist was Michelle and she made me feel like an old friend, giving me style and cut advice as well as new to ABQ advice. Wonderful place and staff! read more

I followed Emmy here because I love the way she cuts my curly hair. I really liked the product, Davines, that Gloss used to shampoo, condition and style my hair. They have a great selection of Davines available for purchase as well. I definitely recommend Gloss and Emmy for your next salon appointment! read more

Jen has been doing my hair for over 12 years, I've followed her from various salons and was so happy when she opened Gloss! It is the best salon in Albuquerque with the most talented stylists! read more

For those of you looking for a lifelong hairdresser, visit Nicole. Here's why: -She is very good at checking in with me as she goes to make sure what she is doing is what I want. She makes it very clear to recap what she will do after I explain what I'm looking for and it really makes a difference because there is never any confusion. -There's nothing worse than having someone speed through a cut and not giving you the opportunity to speak up if you aren't happy. Nicole does a great job of explaining what she is doing and making sure I know what she is doing. -She also understands my style and can envision what I want. I like a more subtle look rather than a drastic change and she nails it every time. -You can see her passion in her work. She truly puts so much effort into everything she does and it absolutely shines through! It is SO difficult to find a good stylist, but trust me when I say you can stop your search here!! read more

I see the oh so talented Theresa!!! She's so very thorough & she's such a doll with the sweetest personality. She dyes my hair beautifully & perfectly & has even styled my hair for my family portraits. The salon is spacious, clean & super cute! I highly recommend trying this salon, every time I have an appointment they're super busy, which obviously means they're fantastic & talented! read more

I recently moved to Albuquerque and tried a different salon when we first arrived and the girl did a horrible job and I left without paying! I started using a home color for a few months until a co-worker told me about Gloss. Tiffany colored, highlighted and cut/ styled my hair perfectly. She is great. I already have a second appointment for next month. I highly recommend Gloss! read more

Riann was great, she was super sweet and was very concerned about my hair and what I wanted. She did exactly what I wanted and even suggested a few ideas to make it better... The salon is super cute and clean too! read more

I originally started coming to this salon several years ago. The owner, Jen, cut my hair and did a really nice job. I stopped going for a while and now have returned. Michelle cuts my hair now, and she does a fabulous job. She listens, and she helps me pick a style that suits me! I don't think you can go wrong at this salon! read more

I went in to get a perm with Jen. I wish I could say it was a good experience, but it was my worse hair nightmare. Jen showed me some pictures of clients who had been given perms. I told her I wanted more curl than what I saw, so I showed her two photos one of which I liked and the other which I said was too curly. I specifically said I didn't want kinky hair. Well, when I saw it after she finished the process, my hair was KINKY. I expressed to Jen that I was very dissapointed. Her only answer was "You didn't like the pictures I showed you." My response was "This is curlier that the picture I showed you which was too curly." No response from Jen. I was charged the full $212 and given two one ounce shampoo and conditioner. One month later my hair is frizzy and uglier than I ever imagined it could be. I never got an apology or even close to an admission of failure to get what I went in for. read more

Came here for the first time yesterday and Nicole was my stylist. I chose this salon because they use Redken color and over the years I've learned that works best for my long fine hair. I just moved here and was so worried about coming somewhere new. There was no need to worry as Nicole listened to and executed my every wish. She was very personable and had me laughing the whole time. I know I have found my forever salon and stylist in Albuquerque! read more

Went for the first time last week and got the best cut I've had in years. What's more, stylist Theresa took the time to listen to my concerns and needs, and gave me good styling and haircare advice. I will be back! read more
