My wife gets her hair done there regularly and she is very happy, despite the above average price. She says it is well worth it. I'm only giving 4 stars because I wast 100% satisfied with the results I got. My hair looked just fine right after my haircut, but just a couple of days later you could see some sloppy areas. My impression is that my stylist specializes in females and didn't have that much experience dealing with some men hairstyles. So, I won't be going back, but my wife is and I feel comfortable recommending it as one of the best hair salons in town for women.

I waited a couple of months for the bad dye job to grow out and then made an appointment with the owner of Shear Style, Joyce, based on good reviews online. Joyce gave me a super short, super cute pixie and figures one or two more haircuts and the bad dye job will just be a bad memory. I love the haircut and even like looking a little punk with the two tone pixie! Excellent service, clean and nicely decorated salon, reasonably priced. So happy to find my new go-to salon and hair cutter in Ithaca!

She looks at your hair, your face shape, and you always leave with the best haircut you've ever had.

The salon itself is gorgeous, clean, and the music is always great! Whenever I see her, I feel like I'm visiting with my best friend.

Kristin did my hair (plus 8 others) for my wedding last weekend. She was a total professional from…read morestart to finish and from the moment she responded to my inquiry email, I was excited to work with her. As soon as I sat in her chair for my hair trial, I knew I was in good hands. I hadn't had my hair done since my senior prom and every blowout I've ever had disappears in a matter of hours. Needless to say, I was a total newbie to getting styled. I had some vague instructions/inspiration pictures, but Kristin really listened to me and offered her expertise when it was clear I really wasn't sure of my vision. During the trial, she tried out a couple different things and listened to me when I told her to use way more hairspray than she thought was necessary. I expected her to be on my a** for clear instructions for my bridesmaids, but she never pressured me to make decisions I didn't want to and was totally flexible to tailor each girl's style on the day-of without compromising on time. Even when someone in my party went MIA and threw off the timeline, Kristin kept her cool and pivoted to make the most of the time. We went in on a Sunday, so Kristin let us take over her studio so we could hang out together, get dressed, blast music, and eat snacks. She was a gracious host and even let our traveling makeup artists set up shop in her chairs. The space is also super funky and I am elated with how the pictures came out. As for the finished product - I could have cried. I felt like an absolute princess surrounded by a all of my fairy godmothers. My hair was better than I could have imagined because she was not afraid to use her judgement to create something she knew would be beautiful. She also deviated a bit (in the best way) from what we had done at the trial, which told me she was being very thoughtful and not just using muscle memory to play it safe. Love this spot, love Kristin, would do it all again if I could!

This is a wonderful little one person salon in the Fall Creek Neighborhood. Laura is super…read morefriendly and managed to make me feel like a regular on my first visit. As I had a wedding coming up (and was new to the area), so I was a little lost on things like where to get my dress tailored, what Salons could handle large bridal parties and such. Laura was willing to take the time to give me suggestions from her years of experience in Ithaca!! Needless to say all of her recommendations were right on. But that's just the extras - I have now had both my hair cut and waxing done with Laura (2-3 times each). The hair cuts were really good, and she's great at taking practicality into the mix when cutting your hair. For example, I'm someone who likes to blow dry my hair only on occasion and then only do minimal styling. She took all of that into account and gave me a great haircut that could be worn naturally or with my novice level of styling (instead of giving me a really cute style that I could never hope to recreate on my own as I've often gotten before). As for waxing, she manages to keep a constant stream of friendly chatting going through the whole process so that you don't have time to think about the potential pain coming your way. As someone mentioned in a previous review - the perfect balance of professional and friendly while being very thorough! I would highly recommend the 410 Salon!!

For one Julie has an amazing personality and a great staff. She makes you feel welcomed and the center of the universe.

And Julie came up with a style that accentuates my jaw line and the natural waves in my hair. So here I am a year later and I needed a haircut. I go to Julie and once again I leave there on top of the world feeling and looking like a million bucks. I will never trust my hair to anyone else. Best place in Ithaca.
