I was fortunate enough to find out about this incredible salon from a friend in my graduating class…read more(none other than Stylist Katie herself), and I can fully attest that a 35 min drive from Cleveland was so worth it for the best hair care experience I've ever had! I'm not just being dramatic here... in every single way, from the informational discussion before I arrived, to the way Sarah at the front desk made me feel so comfortable on the phone with the process, to being in person and given the royal treatment. They began with a tour of this cute spot and I couldn't have loved it more. The decor and aesthetic was stunning, stylish, and modern. When trusting someone with your hair, it feels even better in a soothing space. Katie herself was so thorough as I had questions about the differences between full color, highlights, balayage, and gloss. I can't thank her enough for being patient and descriptive in her explanations so I could make the correct hair care choice for myself. She is fully your advocate and alongside you in the journey versus feeling rushed to make a decision or unclear about what service you're receiving or what it takes to maintain it. I have been places where it seemed the most important thing was increasing the price and while this is an upscale salon, the cost ties directly to the luxury of well educated stylists and clean natural ingredients for your hair. They even provide snacks and drinks. What could be better? Every single person I encountered was kind, cheerful and welcoming. I believe it was Nicole (esthetician) who delivered my water and had such a bubbly energy and charismatic aura. Chelsea was wonderful as she helped wash/rinse my hair and put in the stop - all while she explained that it would return my ph balance back to normal which I deeply appreciated the science behind. Nerd alert. But seriously, the more you know what is happening with your hair, the more you want to take better care of it. Back to the service itself: Katie was able to aid me in the selection of a gloss and cut (which was much needed because I had some serious split ends) and the formula creation her and team made was the perfect match for what I envisioned. You know those moments where you have "hair goals" photos in mind? Without even showing her a pic, she came to the table with some options and then nailed it completely. As a redhead it has been challenging for me to find a place I feel confident won't destroy my natural color (yikes, someone made it almost purple once which took a WHILE to grow out) and Katie one hundred percent understood my concerns. I felt heard the entire time and it was an added bonus that we got to catch up on life after several years! I am beyond thrilled I took a chance on a new place that I will definitely be calling my home in the future. Thanks to Jessica and everyone at the salon for making my Valentine's Day absolutely delightful!

The owner is amazing and personable, the Receptionist is so helpful and on top of things and they stylists are so talented and knowledgeable. I can be pretty particular with my hair. However, I am never ever disappointed with a haircut and/or color job from Le Beau. The space is also incredibly welcoming and safe. I feel like I'm on a vacation when I'm there. They also offer very nice beverages, such as: water with fresh fruits and herbs, an assortment of hot teas and coffee. Finally, they have a beautiful retail selection of Kevin Murphy products. 10/10 recommend. My entire family use this salon.

*1/5 stars - Horrible experience at Salon Álvarez…read more Today I went to SA for my usual highlights, but the experience was a complete catastrophe. The stylist who attended to me was not the usual one, and she left my hair completely blonde!! It was like I went from being a brunette to Shakira overnight! I would never in my life ask for that kind of artificial and overdone blonde, and even less without consulting me. Also , during the process, before I realized the mistake, the stylist after two hours told me she didn't have time to cut or style my hair and that I would have to come back another day What ??? She left the dye on my hair for almost THREE HOURS, which I'm sure didn't help the situation. I was starting to get worried as the time went by, but I trusted that she knew what she was doing. Boy, was I wrong. When she finally rinsed out the dye, my hair was completely ruined. When the other stylists realized the damage, they tried to fix the mistake with a toner, but the result was .... OMG : now my hair looks gray It's unbelievable that they couldn't get it right in the first place, and their "solution" was even worse . I've been a client for three/four years and I never imagined I'd receive treatment like this. The lack of recognition and condescending attitude of the staff was what bothered me the most. They said, "This is the color we always do for you," acting like it was true. There was no "Sorry, we made a mistake".They acted like I was crazy and it was all just a fabrication!! Needless to say, I left without paying. Now I'll have to go to another salon to try to fix this mess. I have photos of my hair before, during, and after the disaster, so I can prove the evidence . I don't recommend this salon to anyone. The lack of professionalism and the staff's attitude is unacceptable. Look elsewhere for your hair needs.

I booked a cut and blowout as a first time client (new to area and live 2 minutes away; looking for…read morea great stylist) and was quoted 85.00 which is not a problem. We pay for quality! I wanted a fresh new look from a great salon and don't expect " budget cut" services or pricing. I arrived, checked in and ended up waiting 30 minutes for my stylist because mine was running late. Ok, no problem because I watched some great hair being done so I was so excited! I was also in clear view of a gal doing a pedicure and I thought I'd try that service out next time. Good to know it's all under one roof. After waiting with anticipation of the stylist finishing up with their haircuts and blowouts, the gal that fished the pedicure came up to me saying she is ready for me. I was confused.... My heart sank. The excitement was gone and I just couldn't go through with it. I couldn't trust that I would get the same beautiful results as an experienced & skilled stylist for my big hair change. I asked her if she just got done doing that pedicure and was a newer stylist and she said yes, I just got done with the pedicure and have been cutting for about one year. I apologized and said I wasn't comfortable with her cutting my hair. I never had a pedicure nail person cut my hair before. The gal at the desk said all their stylist do pedicures and didn't offer any alternatives. She didn't care that I waited 30 minutes post my scheduled appointment and didn't care that I was not comfortable and didn't try to find me someone more experienced. She didn't even sell me on this stylist either!! Didn't build her up at all. Retaining my business was not a consideration at all. She was all too ok with me walking out the door. Since when does skilled experienced stylist do pedicures on Saturday ? I could have went to "budget cuts" and pay 15.00 rather than 85 plus a tip. That price point comes with expectations of getting a trained stylist passionate about her or his craft.

I found The Colorist by word of mouth 3 years ago…read more Obviously, I like the salon because I'm still going regularly. The staff is warm and welcoming. Willing to make suggestions for change, if you're adventuresome, or keep with your current style. The Colorist has been on the Fox 8 list for several years running for Best Color. I get my hair colored and have had several changes over the last few years. A highlight (no pun intended) for me is being able to pick from the extensive color selections and help concoct my personalized color. The salon tries, and succeeds, in keeping their pricing lower or competivitive with competition. A solid recommendation for anyone looking to change up their stylist.
