His prices are slightly higher than his competitors ($24/cut), but the few extra dollars are more than worth it. His shop is in a relatively new building, is clean, and has ample parking. He took his time with the cut without wasting my time and is easy to talk to. I also liked that his space is nice and private; there aren't a bunch of other people waiting and staring as you sit there. Highly recommended.

I've been going to see Jason, owner and stylist of Muse, for nearly eight years. He has always done…read morea wonderful job with my hair, and provides those extra touches (such as scalp massages and beverages) that make going to the salon a treat as opposed to something you have to do. The space (formerly the original Cha Cha) is brighter and sleeker than the former hodge-podge of colors, and more improvements are on the way. Return business speaks louder than anything, though, especially when it comes to something as personal as hair (be honest - a bad haircut has ruined your day/week/month at least once). I've been going for years and years, and everyone that I can think of that I've recommended see Jason has kept him - several people I know make sure to schedule an appointment when coming back to Madison for a visit if they no longer live here.

Hair type: thin, straight, silky and dense which makes it lay flat with no body if not cut right…read more The struggle is real to find a stylist that you can trust. I spent 5 years after moving to Madison searching for a stylist that didn't butcher my hair or make it look like a cheap cut with no texture and shaping. A male co-worker told me about Jason and that I should go try him out because he was "really good"...he was so good and people loved his styling that quite a few people from our company started going to him because they loved his work! Well that was back in 2007 and only one other person has touched my hair since in that time. Throughout the years we have done many transformations including a bob cut, medium length with layers, long length with layers, highlights, red hair, balaylage and now the most recent purple underneath with blonde highlights on top. In all the years I have gone to Jason, I have always gotten comments on how much people love my hair. Jason is able to create a lot of texture and depth of color. He is a great listener and he's able to look at pictures to see what you like and consult you on what he can do for you based on your face shape & care routine so that your hair works for you. Jason in an extremely kind person and easy to talk to. His main goal is to give you great looking hair that works for you. Really there is no need to search any further...Jason is it in Madison.

If someone takes the time to make an appointment, their scheduled time should be respected. There didn't seem to be any organization or priority for customers with appointments.

I hope they improve how they manage appointments and treat customers' time with more respect.

Came here because of the high ratings, but I had a terrible experience. Not only was the owner,…read moreRebecca, rude, but she gave me a terrible haircut. I asked Rebecca to make sure my hair was all the same length, no layers. I wanted a blunt straight cut, to take the dead ends off, but preserve as much of the length as possible for my upcoming wedding. I thought there's no way any hair stylist can screw this up. Boy was I very wrong. Rebecca combed my hair to the front, eyeballed, and cut. It was strange, so I stopped and asked her how she was going to cut my hair. She told me "I'm not here to give you a lesson on cutting hair, but I'm doing just what you asked." I didn't feel comfortable after what she said, but thought I would give her the benefit of the doubt. Bad idea. The whole time Rebecca cut my hair, she didn't even touch it once with her hands. Just kept combing to the front, eyeballing and cutting with the scissors. I've had enough haircuts to know you should section before cutting, and check and measure with your fingers. After Rebecca cut my hair, I pointed out to to her that the hair in front were at least 1.5 inches longer than the hair in the back (as expected since she combed the hair to the front before cutting), and that it wasn't very even. But she kept saying, "well, that's what you asked for, I gave you want you wanted." After arguing for a few minutes, I gave up and left. I will never come here again.
