I recently saw Jess for a complete transformation after years of doing nothing to my hair. I had…read moreseen her previously for my color because she has the exact aesthetic I am looking for: big impact, minimal maintenance, cool girl hair. First, the salon: it's so great! I am loving this space and how bright, airy, industrial but modern but retro all in one it is. Cohoes is super easy to get to for me. I parked right out front. Now, the important part, the hair: it's SO GREAT! Jess just knows what she's doing. I gave her buzz words: BLONDE but keep it healthy and easy to maintain. I flat out told her I wasn't planning to come in for months and I pretty much refuse to style it ever so it'd need to look good with just a solid hairbrushing every now and then. I left the details up to her and let her do her thing and the results truly blew me away! I was nervous leading up to this appointment because I was a previous bleach-a-holic and am SO PROUD of the condition I was able to get my hair in by simply leaving it alone. Two and a half weeks and a handful of washes later and it still looks and feels great! Everyone has been absolutely losing their minds at my new look but, most importantly, I love it and feel like a different, more confident person. I cannot recommend Jess enough! She is such a genuine, thoughtful person who I end up telling my entire life story to while in her chair. I can't imagine ever seeing someone else, so hoping we grow old and blonde together!

She's not going to do anything that will compromise your hair's integrity or her professional integrity. My natural hair is the thickest and healthiest it has ever been since I began coming to Erin.

The vibe of the salon is super dope too! It's just her and the client and she provides services in a timely manner. I 100% recommend her!

I first went to her because I just had to have the front of my hair and bangs cut . I was coming home from a doctor appt , did a search, called and she told me to come over. She did a nice job on the cut, although she completely soaked my shirt. When it came time to get highlights I called Val and made an appointment. I have been to many of the upscale salons and have never paid over $185 before tip. I get a fine blonde highlight. It seems every time I love my stylist they have babies and quit, health issues and leave or relocate . I told Val that I wanted fine blonde hi-lights that would blend with the start of my grey/ white hair. My natural hair color is dirty blonde. She asked how much I wanted to spend and she said she could only do a quarter highlight for that price. I never paid that much for a quarter but she assured me it would look great and I was already there. The first thing she did was cover up the grey temples which I didn't even know she was doing and I never asked for it. She proceeded to finish the highlighting and cut. When she was finished the cut was nice but the highlights were very brassy. She bleached but uses no toner or super conditioner. She told me I could call her next week and come back and have it done lighter if I got home and wasn't happy. I called and made another appt fo a fix. She was pleasant enough and we shared stories about our Siamese cats. It was lighter but the brassy spots were still brassy. She offered to do a quick updo for me and I said ok. She started teasing and spraying my hair and put a hair clamp in the back. I hated it as it was too messy for my style so when I got home I took it down and noticed that the hair clamp she had put in my hair was filthy. Gross! I am a simple person. I use a good shampoo and conditioner for colored lifted hair and let it naturally dry. I may use a curling iron or blower perhaps once a month at most. Stylists have always complimented me on how healthy my hair was. I have been getting hi-lights 2x a year for the past 30 years. After about a month I realized that my hair was looking odd. That's when I realized that that all the blonde hair had broken off! Now I was thankful that it was only a quarter of a head she did because all the parts that had the lighter blonde from the second visit were all short and ratty. However that annoying brassy piece in the front was still ther. I'm assuming because it didn't get bleached twice. When I play this much money in this area, I expect salon services. A soft drink or water offered, waterproof robes, and a pleasant experience. Bottom line is she ruined my shoulder length hair by leaving me with ratty 3-4 inch pieces on the top and surrounding my entire face. I have no alternative except to wait till it grows out which will probably be a couple of years. Valerie may have been good at one time, but the products or lack of, are sub standard. She owns her own shop so there is no reason for the poor quality of product and services. Again , minus stars.

The two girls that did our hair were Micaela and Sarah, and Kaitlin did our makeup. All of the girls were more than satisfied with how their hair turned out. Sarah did some great braid work on two of us, and her and Micaela helped to put flowers all over our hair. That part wasn't planned, but they went with the flow and everyone looked great. Kaitlin's makeup looked excellent on everyone, even the girls who were reluctant to get it done for fear of it being too heavy or just not their style. I'd highly recommend them for whatever you need! One piece of advice would be to bring cash since the hair, makeup, and nail services are all separate and have to be paid for as such.

This is more of a barber shop than a salon. There aren't any frills. I wasn't offered a water or tea. But I definitely feel like I got excellent value for what I paid (even without the groupon, it would have been a good deal).

I would definitely book her again for future glam needs, and would happily recommend her services to my network. Tyyyy Alex!
