Got my haircut and treatment from Michael and he did a fabulous job!…read more First off, the salon itself was very clean, and front desk was very friendly. I really appreciated how prompt they were about my appointment time. All their products were bumble & bumble and it smelled fantastic. Michael, my stylist is extremely friendly and a great conversationalist. He's very communicative and knowledgeable about hair, hair color, and extensions. He made me feel very welcome and gave me great advice and suggestions on my hair. I had a lot of breakage from years of bleaching and he did a great job blending my damaged ends into layers. He also really listened to what I wanted and made sure to communicate every step of the way. Not to mention, I received one of the best head massages for my added hair treatment! Overall a great experience and I will be considering hair extensions with Michael in the future!

Edit: I was contacted by Elizabeth one of the owners and was told I could have my hair fixed at no…read morecost by another stylist. She also let me know the person who did my hair was no longer with them (good choice!!) I got my hair re-done by Lauren** and she was great although it was mostly toning if I'm not mistaken. It turned out a lot better than before and the cut was not crooked thank god! There was a problem at the register as the girl said there was not a note on my account so I had to pay the full amount, but contacted Elizabeth again and she reimbursed me a couple days later. I'm not giving a full 5 stars only because the girl who took my payment made no effort in listening and told me to "come back and talk to Elizabeth" which seemed a bit dismissive. All in all though despite that, it was a better experience, and the owners care a lot about customer satisfaction! So I would still recommend it! ---- Unfortunately, have to leave a not so great review for my first and only visit here. I saw Richard, who was very nice. Everyone was nice. I wanted a simple cut, no layers, but I wanted my hair thinned out (I have a lot of hair), and I also wanted color. Nothing fancy just some peak-a-boos all over so I could eventually transition into a balayage. I showed him a picture, he looked at it and got straight to work. Everything went great, we were chatting small talking etc :) I do have some experience working at a salon in Menlo Park, and watching him I was getting just a little worried as his techniques seemed a little basic (maybe it's just hindsight though). Anyway, he finished, washed (very very hot water ouch) and blow dried my hair (it also burned quite a bit. But I am not the type to complain unfortunately so I kept my mouth shut) Anyway I was happy up until I finally saw my hair. I mean I smiled but inside I was pretty sad. I went home, my boyfriend was like what happened to your hair I said what do you mean? It's fine.(didn't think it was THAT bad, notenough for my boyfriend who never notices anything to notice) I take a closer look in the mirror, the color is uneven and my hair cut is crooked / uneven. Random long strands etc. No biggie. Right? I'll just go in and have it fixed. So I call make an appointment to fix it and go in. He apologizes and takes a few minutes to fix it. Although it's better than before it's still not what you'd expect after paying $250+. Been wearing it in a pony ever since waiting for it to grow back. :( I'm giving an extra star because everyone was very nice and the salon itself is super cute.

I will definitely be back. Thank you Taylor!

I had a unique request when I called and spoke with Sterling, the owner, who immediately zeroed in on my problem with a precision that I had previously only hoped would be possible.

Her commitment to overcoming my particular hair issues, creativity and dedication (over hours) was astounding. Thank you, Shockoe Salon!

Service: My stylist was very friendly and honest with me about their ability, or lack thereof, to…read moregive me the hair color I wanted and that perhaps I could settle on an intermediate color so as not to damage my hair too much. (I have the darkest of black hair). The stylist took me through a double process to get to a blonde and followed with some toning to help keep it more attractive color. During the appointment, I noticed they didn't use foil, whereas other salons were more meticulous with application and foiling. Additionally, I was dismayed when they cut my hair considerably shorter than the photo reference. They did step out for smoke breaks while I was waiting and not too chatty. Ambiance: It's a bit of an eclectic feel on the interior with lots of plants and various furniture pieces. I was the only client during my appointment. Value: The services are fairly priced when compared to other stylists in the city. Unfortunately, they were not able to help me achieve the style I wanted as I would later get in other cities. But I imagine if I went in with a simpler request, then I would have been satisfied.
