I just love Amie for everything she does with my brows & occasional facials. Rosanna is a patient, professional, and talented stylist especially in the updo and color arena. They occasionally have really fun spa nights where the pricing schemes are murky, but hey! Free wine. Lost a star over a pedicure experience where provider just argued with me and scolded me, which was super fun. The pedi chairs are brand new tho, with massage. read more

I hired Rosanna to do my hair for my wedding, and I couldn't have been more impressed with her. I am from out of state and didn't have a chance to meet her - much less schedule a trial - before my wedding, so I was a little nervous. That didn't last long: as soon as I explained (vaguely) to Rosanna what I wanted, she instantly understood and executed it better than I could have ever imagined. I got compliments on my hair all night! She also did the hair for the mothers and a couple bridesmaids, and I loved how unique each style looked. Plus, she was a delight to work with - fun, friendly, and even willing to jump in and lend a hand as we tried to fashion a makeshift stand for a wedding-related chalkboard. I really cannot recommend Rosanna highly enough. read more

Outstanding salon! I have thick wavy hair and it is always difficult to get my layers right. (Anyone with ethnic hair knows how hard it is to get the shape just right.) Raquel did an amazing job and I left with smooth, flowing layers. Best cut I've had in years! read more

I absolutely love this place! I don't really have a regular stylist. Everyone there is really awesome at what they do. It's a little pricey, but it's Aveda and you totally get what you pay for. I've been going there for two years and have never walked out unhappy. I really look forward to my haircuts! read more

I have been going to this salon for about 2 years using the same stylist. I found the location convenient to my home since I had been driving 30 minutes to another salon. After the stylist behavior yesterday I will not be going back. The front desk informed her I was there, I sat in a chair in sight of her and was ignored. The last time she cut my hair I noticed a change in her, it is not my business to understand her personal life--I am paying for a service. If I do not want my hair colored that's my business, if I do not want to purchase a product that's my business. I got up and walked out and I will not return. The salon called my home and offered another appointment with a 20% discount--no thank you. read more

Sucks, she cut my hair exactly the way I asked her not to. Questioned me non stop for over an hour about my ethenticity, my kids, what color their eyes are to where they work, do they want kids, are they in a relationship, where I live, HORRIFIC hair cut. It's not even 1/4" long on the sides, cut over my ears and the back looks like a man's hair cut. God awful experience! AND you have to pay top $$?!? read more

I've had two great experiences at this salon. I moved to Santa Fe a year ago (after being a client at an amazing Aveda salon for over five years), and I was not able to find the same experience local to me. So, upon the advice of my former salon, I made an appointment with Anyssa at Marc Pardo (Coors Bypass). I am SO pleased with my choice! She did a wonderful job---and gave me the haircut I was really looking for. I loved the scalp massage before shampoo, and the salon has a great professional atmosphere. I also booked a facial with Samantha, and it was equally terrific. I am really happy to have discovered this salon. It is definitely worth the drive!! read more

I can't seem to get passed the front door here..every time I come here they say there booked..I come on different days but I'm always told they don't have an opening...i don't understand ..but in there defence I look like shit when I go in there...honestly I don't go to these places ..I usually go to supercuts or sportclips..I leave here feeling like Julia Roberts in pretty woman. after the people at the clothing store were mean to her..mabey I need a concierge to have my back before coming in..(dude your a chain hair joint that thinks your a boutique in France .come back down to earth) read more

I went in for highlights a few weeks ago and I was severely disappointed. Not only was my hair barely lighter than my natural hair, it was orange. This was after I sat waiting for my appointment for 30 minutes because they didn't tell the person I had arrived. I was rushed from the start, didn't receive any of the services they supposedly offer, ended up with a horrible color job, and still had to pay over $100 for my services. His recommendation was come in several more times (meaning several hundreds of dollars more) to continue my hair coloring. I'm so disappointed by this trip. It was so expensive for such horrible results. read more

Looking for a men's haircut I called MP salon on coors bypass asked for stylist who could take me ASAP .. Receptionist recommended Mariah shortly after I arrived was greeted by Mariah whisking me away to her chair after a short conversation she cut off my hair with such speed I was shocked within 3 minutes she was finished ... never have I been in this situation it was as if she was trying out for Olympics for fastest most hurried haircut ever !! My hair was swept up before I even looked at the floor looking at my haircut I was not happy When u follow the Aveda name and expect to pay a little more for the quality and concept of a better haircut your expectations are equal '. Or should be' After leaving I felt like I'd been cheated n felt like I'd waisted my time by going there '. I would never recommend Mariah to my friends or enemies her demeanor was far from pleasant after calling the manager Drew called me back a day later and offered to make it right Bad haircut on west side read more

Yaneth has been highlighting and cutting my hair hair for a few years now and she is amazing! Talented and a great stylist who really connects with her clients. Best highlights in town! You won't be disappointed. read more

Trying a new salon can be nerve-wracking but this one came highly recommended, for good reasons! Called on a Friday asking for a same-day haircut appointment, and got one. Booked with Francie and couldn't be happier with my haircut! I told her what I wanted and showed her one picture. She really knows hair, my cut looks and feels great! I will definitely book with her again! Thank you! read more

Okay I admit got a little lazy after moving to ABQ and wore my hair pulled back. Decided to get a little more stylish with the urging of my daughter. Decided my best option inABQ would beMark Pardo (was an SVP in NYC and had great choices is salons). My stylist and I decided Oma bob with a few layers for fullness. The bob is uneven with lots of longer hairs the layering is really choppy. Have had better haircuts at "Style *****"! read more

I had low lights added to my humdrum hair colour that was a mishmash of grey with dark ash blonde and a few brighter gold highlights. Not terrible but terribly boring! Being a first time customer, and new to Albuquerque, I was showered with free addons plus a $15 discount on services. I received a free 20+ minute facial which also showed off some products after I waited 8 minutes past my appointment time. Then a pleasant young woman from reception did a nice job with my facial. It was relaxing and felt great. She gave me a tour of the facility. A lovely way to be introduced. I forgave the lost 8 minutes. Then I waited for my colourist, Briane. I waited a few minutes past my appointment time then I was asked (hard spot to be to say no!) if I would wait as Briane was running 15 minutes late. 28 minutes past my appointed time, Briane invited me to her chair. Then it was 5 stars all the way! I do not like to arrive on time or early and then have to wait for others' poor time management. However, despite that, I am comfortable that I waited. Briane is excellent in her work, and created a professional and pleasant experience. And I received a hand and scalp massage. My hair turned out as good or better, I think better, than I hoped. I will return. I would give them 5 stars if it was not for the waits. Their work deserves 5 stars. read more

It's a nice salon, the service is nice and the atmosphere is nice. I was happy with my first haircut there, I had Vanessa. About 9 months later I went back and asked her to cut my hair in the same way, just to trim it up. Well, that is not what happened. This is probably the most upsetting haircut I have ever had. She did not just trim up the same cut, she cut 7 inches off and also the cut is extremely uneven and erratic, I look at it and it makes no sense to me at all. IT was disguised by styling when I left. My daughter asked me if I gave to locks of love, that is how much was cut off. It's now been three weeks and I am so upset about this cut and how bad it is and how long this is going to take to grow out. I called today and was told that since it is over 10 days they are not going to fix it. I don't think I will ever trust someone again, just cut my own hair. I think that most haircutters just do what they think is right, regardless of what you like. This is the final straw for me. read more

Having moved from Europe & my wonderful hairdresser, I carefully reviewed hair salons in Albuquerque before finally choosing Mark Pardo hairsalon on Coors bypass due to their association with Aveda & the training that their stylists are suppose to get. How I regretted my decision. The front of the salon seems high end as does the prices they charge. However, when taken to the hair salon how different it was. I asked for an experience hairstylist, not a junior but someone that had experience with curly hair as I am fedup going to hairdressers who cut my hair as if it were straight. I also wanted my hair coloured. For this I was charged $144 plus taxes. Now I do no mind paying this amount of money for a good cut and colour which leaves you feeling great. But I was left with badly cut curly hair which I now will have to go somewhere else to rectify. The stylist cut my hair straight across at the bottom and as anyone with curly hair knows this is not how to cut it. I specifically asked for long layers to get a nice shape to my hair. On arriving at the salon I was left standing in reception for 10 minutes while the receptionist was dealing with another customer. There is no room to sit so if you have someone ahead of you, you are just left standing there. Once attended to the receptionist asked if I would like a tea or coffee and when I said coffee took off without saying anything. Was I suppose to follow or would they come back with the coffee? Decided to follow and coffee was left on counter and told to help myself to milk, cream etc & off went the receptionist. Was not offered a seat, magazine etc was not told someone would be with me soon, nothing, just left standing there. Stylist was with me soon after sweaping up hair at her work station from previous client. The stylists on either side of where I sat didn't bother to clean up after their last clients. Chair on right was empty of clients but on it was dirty towel & magazine with hair on floor all around it. On the counter in front was the dirty cup I am presuming from last client. On my left again there was hair under the chair & hair dye all over the counter in front & the dirtiest hairdyer that I have ever seen. This stylist proceeded to cut a client's hair without sweaping up the hair that was cut from previous client. I was also surprised that my stylist and the one beside me had their hats and gloves on the counter as well. Coming from Europe I can honestly say this salon was the most unhygienic I have visited. When I was getting the colour washed from my hair I could see that there was a pile of hair on the mat by the back door. This was not a pretty sight. There was a white bin that I saw out on the corner of my eye with stains all over it. My colour was ok, it did what it was suppose to do, cover my greys. Terribly dissapointed when my cut as specified above & also the lack of customer care. And disgusted by the lack of cleanliness. I normally do not write reviews but felt that I should warn others not to waste their hard earned money here. read more
