My hair was already damaged. Went in to have roots touched up and toner. My hair was 3 different colors of blonde after leaving the salon. Then right after, my hair seemed even more damaged. I went back for a color change and protein filler obviously was not used while coloring from blonde to red. Omg. My hair looks horrible and was again 3 shades of red. Never going back. If only filler was used... unbelievable damage now. Using a semi permanent color at home now. Until my hair strengthens. read more

Kristen at Hair loft studio took her time and gave me exactly what I wanted. My hair was the color I wanted and still healthy. I will go back to her and really enjoyed getting to spend 4 hours with her. I was looking for someone who was talented on blondes and she is definitely that! The color has maintained really well over time as well. This salon is very chic and modern, clean and comfortable. I will be back!! read more

I had very little time to get my hair ready for a wedding and was running in for a speed appointment. Leanne somehow managed to get my hair straightened, blow dried and shiny and gorgeous in this time - she is a master with hair. Run, don't walk to see Leanne at Hair Loft Studio!!! read more

Emily really listened and gave me a great haircut. Very personable. Only minor thing is there is no scalp massage, but obviously that is not necessary for a good haircut but ive become used to them from my other stylists. read more

10 out of 10 recommend seeing Alaina! She took me on as a client after Maritza left the salon and I cannot express how welcoming she was. If you want to go to a stylist who doesn't care about your hair history, your likes and dislikes, hair care routine and meticulously ensuring your hair looks like perfection when you leave - then don't go to Alaina (or anyone at HLS for that matter), go to a different stylist and salon if you want the half-@$$ treatment! When I came in, I was trying to decide between two color options... Alaina discussed the state of my hair and made educated recommendations based on what she was seeing, hearing from me, and feeling (when combing through my hair). She actually cares! Great balayage application and styling. Highly recommend booking an appointment at HLS and with Alaina if she's available! read more

Wow! I have never felt so good after a hair cut. Was in from out of town and amazingly they were able to fit me in as a walk in. Alyssa was able to accommodate me in her schedule and she did an amazing job fixing my awful hair cut with broken dry thin hair. Very professional! Thank you thank you Alyssa!! read more

Honestly... wtfff I cannot believe I thought to trust yelp on this one. I am disappointed in the bang trim that Julia gave me. I asked for a trim not to give me a new look. I hate it and I'm never the type to give out bad reviews or any reviews for that matter but I hate how my bangs were trimmed. She was nice enough to comfort me when she saw the look on my face by saying "I think that's just your hair" really..? I don't even want to show or mention the updo she did for my mom. It was cute for the first 45 minutes. There were loose ends that she mentioned she tried to Bobby pin down but it wasn't holding. Again, because it's "just her hair" that was a fat chunk of hair Julia I just don't understand if we weren't happy with the finally look why not encourage to help fix it in any way. I tried to call but guess they close on Sundays so yelp it is! read more

This place has such a great atmosphere from the moment you walk in. I've had my hair done by Holly a few times now. Colors including blues, greens, and reverting me back to browns/blondes. I am always super impressed with the way it turns out! She is great at what she does! She explains the processes and products very well so you have a better understanding of what the outcome may be. Her coworker Lauren has also helped on my hair and she's a great and vibrant hairstylist as well! read more

So lucky to find this studio! All artists here do amazing work and their prices are fair. Ashley Christine did my hair and she did an amazing job. read more

i would absolutely recommend to a friend. I got extensions with Maegan and Eric, and they did a beautiful job! Extensions are an investment, and you want them to be just right. They delivered honey! I've had keratin bond extensions from somewhere else multiple times, and this was my first time coming here, so I was nervous. Their application is so expert, and these are artists who really love their work. and now so do I. definitely going back. also really good energy, kind people! read more

Where do I even begin? The entire staff is probably the friendliest I've ever seen! Everyone is focused on making sure their clientele stays happy and comfortable throughout their visit. Alaina did such an amazing job with my hair! She's very passionate about what she does, and she makes sure to take great care of you and what you want. She explained everything she was doing, which for someone who isn't the biggest fan of going to hair salons, this was probably the biggest standout to me. I got a fresh, beautifully executed hair cut, full highlights, and a really pleasant hair mask. Please go see this awesome business and ask for Alaina! read more

I had my hair done today by Kenedie. I went in with red hair...and within 3 hours I left with a mink/mahogany base with caramel highlights! she is amazing! I'm a client for LIFE!!! I LOVE MY HAIR read more

There is nothing funny about a BAD stylist dear! New Orleans has many good salons this just isn't one of them!

This is a beautiful clean place and professional environment, everyone was so friendly and genuinely nice. My stylist was amazing and did a perfect job I highly recommend Alaina .It is an all around perfect place to get exactly what you want done to your hair read more

Maegan hooked me up! I made an appointment for my lunch break (2hrs). Risky, I know, but they assured me that this sort of thing happens all the time. The salon is really nice; there's a very clean, modern feel about the place. Lots of light, both natural and otherwise in a mostly open space. We did a quick consult about what I wanted/what would work before she took me to the shampoo bowl and I love that she asked to see example pictures so we'd both be on the same page. She took both before and after pics of my hair and ya'll.... the transformation was real, lol. I love my new cut. We went with a bob and she even gave me a lil bit of a fade on the side that I have shaved. I had a great experience and even got finished in time to get back to work. I definitely recommend Hair Loft. They took great care of me & I'm sure they'll take care of you, too. read more

After attempting to cut my own bangs I had a complete hair emergency! Out of town and in need of some help I went to the Hair Loft. Within walking distance to the Hyatt Regency (my hotel) I arrived to a very welcoming staff, they offered me something to drink and before I could sit down my stylist (Andrea) was ready to help me! After a brief consult we decided on cut, color, and style! I originally was only going to get a cut to fix my bangs but I felt like I was in such good hands I went for color too! Andrea was attentive, really understood the look I wanted and made it happen! I'm so happy I cut my bangs and ended up at this fabulous salon! I plan on making this my official hair salon (even though I live out of town) very much worth the drive!!! I highly recommend to locals and out of Towners! read more

Sandi was amazing. She did an amazing job on my hair, was patient, and listened to everything I wanted. See a before and after picture attached. She absolutely killed my hair and refreshed my whole look with a beautiful balayage and cut. Thank you Sandi!! read more

If you want to F* up your hair - that's the right place. These people do not understand what a Clint is asking them for. I asked to cut me a straight line to remove 1cm of my length, but no this girl did crazy cuts all over my hair - destroyed my straight line, destroyed my length and now I have to suffer another one year trying to grow the length. read more

Love Kelly G! I've been seeing her for years now and I will never go anywhere else for any kind of hair service!

I am a former client of Hair Loft when they were Uptown. I was always very pleased with the service & expertise, and was so sad when they moved to the warehouse district. Now that I'm living in that area, I'm so happy to rediscover them again! My appointment was with Nicole. She is fantastic! I have two different textures going on with my hair, but it's primarily curly/wavy. I went in only knowing what I didn't want, but otherwise put myself/my hair in her expert hands. I am beyond thrilled with the results! She gave me the perfect cut for my face, my hair texture, and my utter inability to wield a blow dryer and a brush, simultaneously (apparently I have two left hands when it comes to the use of styling tools). Give Nicole a try! You won't be disappointed. Also, she gives the most amazing shampoos and scalp massages! read more

Very nice new salon that offers a variety of services. Has taken over for the higher end salon services since others have left the CBD. Great interior space and friendly staff. Like all places, you need to find the right stylist for you. Erin is great for men's haircuts and is a strong recommendation. Definitely worth trying if you need a place close to downtown for something on your lunch break or if you live in the CBD read more

Great experience getting my hair done by Alexis! As someone who has had too many bad hair cuts and color that is never what I ask for, I stalked IG to find someone who could give me a natural, face framing balayage while I was in town celebrating my birthday. So glad I found Alexis!! @alexisparkerhair Alexis was super sweet and I was able to make an appointment by texting her, plus I got to take advantage of a special she had running that weekend. She really listened to what I wanted, as well as how my hair behaves. She also mixed toners to give me to exact blonde I was hoping for. The cut rid me of all my split ends and lots of weight and gave me beautiful long layers that gave my hair some movement. The HEAD MASSAGE during the wash is unlike anything I have ever experienced - amazingly relaxing. The salon itself is very clean and well set up. There were multiple women getting large scale color and their system for moving you through the process makes you feel attended to an comfortable. They also gave me coupons as a first time customer (love me some coup's!) Will absolutely be back the next time I am in the area.... and I can see myself specifically planning a road trip route around being able to stop here. read more

I had my hair cut by Maritza. I hadn't had a cut in months so my hair was very long. I stressed two times (and pointed) that I wanted it cut so it would touch my collarbones when it was finished. I also said (two times) that I wanted to be able to put it in a pony tail. My hair is now at least 1 inch above my collarbones and it absolutely does not go into a pony tail unless I use bobby pins. This was a fairly expensive cut and to end up with a mess I'll have to deal with for months until it grows out is very frustrating. I couldn't have made myself more clear and my cut is not what I wanted. I don't think I will go back because of how upset I am that I now have to grow out my hair in order to feel okay about how I look. And to have to wear bobby pins which don't work and hair falls down constantly! The salon is nice. They sell good products. It's clean and comfortable. Maybe one of the other stylists would do a better job. read more

Excellent. I've gone twice and both cuts were great. A tiny bit more expensive than a SuperCuts (or something similar) but WAY BETTER quality. They'll offer you a free drink which is nice, and it's usually very fast. Found my place. read more

Great salon. The owner and her staff is so knowledgeable of hair and products. I have my hair cut, colored, and styled at the Hair Loft. Thanks for making me feel beautiful. read more

My first experience here, there was a snafu with my color that turned out way too dark on my roots. I came back the next day and the team made it right at no charge and gave me a second blow out for free as well since we had to do a clarifying wash to tone down the semi-permanent color on my hair. They also gave me some discounts for the inconvenience and were extremely conscientious! I live about two blocks from here so I go in once every 10 days or so for a blow out. I have had multiple different stylist do them all with fantastic results that usually last 3-4 days! Prices vary by stylist for all services based on their experience and specialties so check first. A couple weeks ago, Nicole did a conditioning treatment, toner, and blow out on my hair before a wedding in Vegas at the very last minute and it looked absolutely phenomenal in pictures. I got so many compliments on my hair the entire 4 day weekend (yes the blow out lasted that long!). Nicole made great recommendations on my full highlight for my next appointment and was really friendly and easy to talk to. I don't love the way the color bar is set up and the fact that you sit awkwardly at a table where 2-3 other people are also having color done, but overall the salon is modern and reasonably priced for a downtown salon. read more

The people were nice and the salon is very clean. However, my stylist cut way too much hair off after I showed her multiple pictures and discussed what I wanted in extreme detail. She seemed confident but I did interject a few times about keeping more length. I convinced myself it was ok but by the time I got home I had to admit it to myself.... my hair was way too short and not what I wanted at all. I barely have any hair left. I went out and bought some bandanas to tie around my hair until this grows out. Plus, this was the most expensive place I have ever been to. I had very high hopes and am really disappointed in my results. All this being said, they did a wonderful job on my eyebrow waxing so I will give some stars for that and their nice atmosphere. However, I will not be going back here again sadly... read more

Andrea is THE best! I've been going here for quite a few months and I was SO happy to finally find somewhere in New Orleans that I enjoy going to get my hair cut! Nahira (spelling) is also fantastic at waxing eyebrows if you need! Looking forward to my haircut later today! Jeanine is also wonderful about booking me a reservation last minute!! read more

Went in to get my hair dyed. Showed my stylist a picture of how I wanted it. It looked nothing like the picture. Asked for her to trim my hair and she ended up cutting so much off. It took everything in me not to cry. She blowdryed my hair mediocre and the end result looked like there was no effort put in. I had to go get it fixed at another salon. I tried to act happy as I left because I hate confrontation. It's also extremely overpriced. Everyone in the salon was on their phones and talking to each other. Super unprofessional. read more

I had another cut and color with Nicole Meredith today. She is simply amazing. You know when you decide to get your hair cut short on a whim and then you find yourself in hair purgatory? Well I found her shortly after doing that and she lifted me back up and managed to keep me looking cute through that awkward growing out phase. And that is not an easy task. She is a true artist. Highly recommend her. read more

(5/12) Love this place!!! I wanted to pamper myself & get my hair blown out for my niece's wedding. As a fellow hairstylist, I'm super picky; maybe even more than the average client. When I'm checking out a salon, I'm looking at the atmosphere, reviews & the vibe. And this salon was everything I needed! The front desk was extremely helpful & got me right in. The shampoo bowls were comfy & I liked the styling products they carried. I had my blowout done by Andrea. She was such a pleasure to talk to & knew her shit! I really loved the fact that the salon did a lot of education for the stylist & overall the salon felt very inviting. I highly recommend her for a service! And the next time I'm in NOLA I'll definitely be in! Thanks for the great service! read more

Buyer beware!!!! I visited this salon after making an appointment with the owner Maritza, to have my hair colored (Balayage). The salon is very nice with modern decor. Parking is available but at a charge of $3/hour. Warning!!!! Everything regarding a hair appointment is a la carte. The Balayage hair coloring is $175, but you must pay $50 for blow drying and $25 toner. These extra prices (toner and blow drying) are not on their website or on their brochure. I was told of these charges as I sat in the chair for the appointment. Total bait and switch! I was willing to give the stylist a chance to impress me, since the prices I was being charged, indicated a special experience. I brought in multiple photos for the hair color I wanted. The final result was not even close! A Balayage treatment should have resulted in a range of highlists with a pattern of lighter color toward the ends. I ended up with my same hair color and just random streaks of colors in patches. I told Maritza that I did not like the result. Everyone in the shop heard me and knew that I was displeased.She said it would get better with washing a few times. I again reiterated that the resul was terrible. She tried to convince me that it looked fine, despite not being anything close to the pictures I brought in. Then Maritza proceeded to say, it was because my original hair color was dark brown and that if I came back for 2-3 more colorings, she should be able to get the right look. Wow! Are you kidding me? She expected me to pay $250 for 2 or 3 more appointments before she "might" be able to get it right.. She did not even, offer to fix it at a future or comp the screw up that just happended. She gave me a 10% discount card on a future appointment. Then she showed me to the cash register and her receptionist charge me $250. Then, he had the nerve to ask if I was leaving a tip. What a joke! Sometimes people make mistakes, but a professional owns up to their mistakes and tries to do the right thing make it right for their customers. I would not recommend this salon at all! read more

I've been a client of Nehaya's for over 5 years now. She is AMAZING!!! As someone who has always been big on what my hair looks like, when I first went to her I had the most basic fade imaginable. She really showed me what a "real" haircut looks like. My hair now looks fixed even when it's not. I couldn't believe the difference and couldn't imagine letting anyone else touch my hair. She goes above and beyond to keep up with the trends, attending hair shows in New York and also showcasing at local events here in the city. I have had numerous types hairstyles and even had color at one point. She always makes me feel and look my best. And on top of all that she has a great personality, I look forward to my appointments just so we can catch up. Call and book your appointment today with Nehaya@TheHairLoft. You won't regret it!!! read more

I had such a wonderful experience at hair loft. I just moved to New Orleans and was worried about finding someone who does a great cut. Nicole was amazing and did exactly what I wanted. She is a true artist! I'll definitely be coming back in the future for cuts and special events! read more

Average. The color was great. It's absolutely gorgeous. I showed the stylist photos of the cut that I wanted. MY hair was already too short and I did not want the length cut. She said she would trim the ends. The "ends" ended up being 1.5 inches so I have the shortest hair I have ever had in my life. The style looks nothing like the photo that I showed her. I have multiple layers when I only wanted one. This might be a great hair cut for someone who likes this style but it does not suit me, my face or my lifestyle. Oh yeah, she suggested adding foil not to give me new highlights but to use some of the old color. Not necessary but it did add $60 to the bill. For $215 before tip I expected much better. I really hate my hair right now. read more

My favorite hair stylist Caye moved and Spa Isbell was cool enough to tell me where (def give them props for that). So like the professional little stalker I am, I quickly made an appt with her at Hair Loft. As always, I had a great time getting my hair done, seriously, this is the happiest I've been with my hair in years! Since I've trusted my locks to Caye they're so healthy and perfectly colored and trimmed. She helps me keep the length but is honest enough to tell me when its time to cut some off because its starting to look Whitesnake 80s video long! As always Caye works quickly and efficiently so I'm not spending the entire day there, but in no way, shape or form makes you feel rushed! Also, she's an animal lover too, so we spend the majority of time discussing how much animals rock! Speaking of rock, one of the stylists mustve been playing music from her pandora account ,I was loving the selection of rock playing. Now on to the salon itself.. its located in a strip mall on Tchoup St, so I'm sure I wouldve overlooked it not going there for a specific stylist. There is a Massage Envy and nail salon in the same plaza, so you could totally make an affordable pamper day out of it! The other stylists seemed really cool and knowledgeable, and the salon offered water, soda, or champagne (extra points there)! I believe the salon was recently opened, it was SUPER clean and all the equipment looked new! Also the prices were quite a bit lower than previous salons, so I indulged in the great line of Kerastase products they offer. Just to note they also offer 20% off with a student id Mon - Thurs. The only downside was that I went in on a Saturday morning, so there was an abundance of children coming in and out with their parents, I'll schedule my next appt accordingly. Nothing against children, but a hair salon is boring for them, so they tend to act a fool. That said, Caye is such a great a stylist, I'll tune out screaming children for her fabulous color and cuts! read more

Finding a solid spot to get my hair trimmed after I moved back home from Cali was not an easy task. It's not as if I couldn't find the skill but I couldn't find the appropriate professionalism. While living in California, I'd become accustomed to my fabulous stylist in S.F., whom was always on time and got me in and out...always looking amazing. Luckily, my sister's friend heard my cry and recommended I make an appointment with Nikki at Hair Loft. And thank goodness I did! The salon is adorable but not too uptight and Nikki is a doll! She is so friendly and easy-going and really took an interest in my growing-out woes. Growing out a pixie is no easy task....let me tell you! Nikki has been so patient and has truly coached me through the entire ordeal, helping to keep me on the straight and narrow when I wanted to take those scissors and chop off more locks. Now that I'm growing out well, I'm really looking forward to getting color done. All that to say...do try Hair Loft if you're looking for a cool salon that is about business and not all the frills of decor (per se). Not to se Hair Loft doesn't have all that but the proof in the pudding is truly about hair and not the look of the joint. read more

First time going here I went for a trim ended up with a haircut. Not bad but could be better staffed. Hair products are meh, not my type of product line. Location is nice if you traveling downtown. My stylist was cool but it dragged after like as if she lost interest in the blow dry portion which made me not want to come back. read more
