Rigs' "Soft Sculpture" work on my near-hillbilly beard put it back in a civilized state. And the haircut! Well! More fabulous and flattering work from the Master. The salon's full of great art in hard (wood and bronze) sculpture. You can sure treat your head and eyes to beauty at this salon! read more

Really wanted to love haircut and color. Rigsby was recommended by a friend. I will not go back and I regret going. Misogynistic sexual remarks made about me are a DEAL BREAKER for me. I came away feeling unhappy that I spent north of $400 for the hair services and not liking anything about it. The cut was minimal and not what I wanted and the color was not special and took forever. I liked the artsy feel of the salon and Rigsby and his staff were personable and opened minded folks- which I really loved. As the afternoon wore on- Risgby kept going outside to smoke and he reeked of a skunk like smoke smell- weed, not sure? He then made some lewd inappropriate comments to my husband about me when he picked me up. I will not return here and I regret going. read more

I dont have concrete evidence for this, but I am almost positive that Rigsby Frederick is a wizard and his salon is actually a magic school where young witches go to master the magic that is all things beauty. Seriously if you want a magical experience, go see Lindsay and let her cast a level 10 style spell on your ass. A+ salon, will be back. read more

See all

I got a haircut by Hailey today! She listened to what I wanted and gave me just that. I wanted a blunt bob, and she even went the extra mile to give me some messy curls, which is how I style my hair everyday. I will definitely be going back to see Hailey! read more

Rigsby Frederick Salon & Gallery - Hair Salons Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

I've been going to Rigsby Fredrick for many years. I have been styled by Lindsay, Jackie and Rigsby. Rigsby is an icon of Baton Rouge since the 1980's. and a true artist. He is one of the most talented dudes I have ever met. He strives for excellence in everything he does and has the most amazing work ethic and attention to detail than most entrepreneurs I have done business with, and his creative mind never stops. I appreciate that. He also is has an amazing collection of sculptures and art the he created in the salon. Jackie is an amazing colorist and stylist I would always use her to do my hair for special events. Best hairdo ever for my company Christmas party. Lindsay is amazing. My friend who moved a few years ago has flown from Colorado just to have Lindsay cut color and style her hair. She is top notch! I use Jackie for my fusion colors and up do's and Rigsby for my hair cuts right now and I get nothing but compliments on both cut and color. He teaches me how to style it the easiest and fastest way for my work schedule but honestly it doesn't take much work because he cuts it in a way that it falls into place with little effort. Definitely recommend this salon. read more

I give this gem a 5 star rating because of the great professionalism the staff demonstrate and I love the artistic motif. Hailey is my hair professional and she is very good. She is patient, engaged in conversation and attentive. She does the extras- the nice scalp massage when she washes my hair before the haircut. During the haircut she stays focused, attentive and always shows interest in her craft. read more

The problem with rating this place is there are sooooo many stylists employed there so some of them may be fantastic for all I know. There are all these levels of stylists ranging from interns to the owner that each have their own price bracket. In any case, my person did an alright job. It was 20ish dollars. I would say it's about on par with many of the other mid-range salons I've had my hair cut at in baton rouge. She may have been a bit overzealous clipper wise but I guess that also means I should have been more vocal. The real downside, not just my opinion from what I gather, is it's all about the owner. I was immediately given a 101 about his background, his accomplishments, his artwork that populates the salon, etc. It's too much. Frankly, anything beyond a hello and welcome after I check in (including hardsell on products) gets obnoxious. I want a haircut, not a primer on the owner who isn't even working on me. I'm sure the workers probably have little say in the whole company vision BS though. read more

After months of being somewhat dissatisfied with the place I have been going in BR since moving from Houston, I decided to give Rigsby Frederick a shot. Boy, am I glad I did! Katie does such a great job--probably the happiest I have ever been with my color. She does a two-step highlight/toner process, then trims me up. The only complaint I could have would perhaps be the price for a trim--which is a little much since I have not had a major cut/style there yet, but the cost seems to be for a full treatment. Otherwise, so glad to have found my go-to spot here! read more

Perfect Cuts. For a long time I never really focused on my hair cuts going to the cheapest options, super cuts or fantastic sams but the last few years I have been trying out higher end cuts because they are more consistent. I started going to Rigsby about a year ago and I love it. They have an inbetween cuts program where I can go for a an in between cut 2-3 weeks after my cut to clean everything up which keeps my looking "fresh" longer. I end up only spending a little more money on my cuts here than at the cheaper places and they do soo much better of a job. I've had a few hair stylists and all of them have been great. I hear they have some great talent here for womens cuts. read more

I was happy to get a quick appt when they reopened and asked for someone who knew how to cut a pixie cut. Ashley was referred. She did an ok job on the cut but the color proved to be wrong. I asked for a chocolate brown with dimension and shine. What I got...once outside so I could see in natural light... was a brown so dark it was dense/ flat. My head looked like a solid cap of black with no strand definition. I ended up going to another salon to have the color lifted. Rigsby used to be a sure thing no matter who attended to the client. By my experience...no more. read more

worst hair experience ever. jackie is unhelpful and didn't listen to what i wanted. I had to go back and am still not satisfied with my hair

This was my first salon experience in Baton Rouge. I came here for a haircut appointment because my roommate highly recommended the place and I love her haircut. I went to her stylist Emily Tally and couldn't be happier with the haircut I left with! Emily is a really great stylist and the salon is a cool mix of salon and art gallery. There are wooden sculptures all around. Even though it's in a strip mall of sorts, I love the greenery outside. Makes the place really feel like a little garden oasis. I love that they offer you a beverage while you're waiting or getting your hair done. It's always the little things that make a place memorable! Parking is really great too here. read more

I had to wait 25 minutes before my stylist realized I was there because she was overbooked. My stylist did not even talk to me or ask my name. Additionally, once she was done cutting and blowdrying my hair, she did not even take the time to style it. When I had made the appointment I specifically asked to see someone on the lower price range, and I was still placed with someone on the upper range, so I had to pay more than I expected! Overall, I think the salon is pretty good, but the service could be better. read more

Lindsay B. always gives me a great color and cut on every visit! The service is worth the price!

Yes this place is expensive and it's more of an art gallery than a hair salon. I was willing to look past that if their services were up to par. The first time I got my hair cut by Jackie it was an amazing cut and everything went well. The second time I went in, Jackie had called in sick and no one bothered to call and tell me. I wasted an entire trip to the salon on nothing. When I rescheduled she showed up late that day too (30 mins) but once again gave a great cut, so I was willing to go back again. A good hair cut is so hard to come by, but at $60+tip, I expect the stylist to be on time. The fourth time I made an apt, I showed up on time and Jackie was once again not there and running late. The receptionist asked if I minded to wait, I said well if it's going to be 30 mins like last time, then I will just go to work and come back. She said she would call and see how far away my stylist was....she never did and after about 5 mins I decided not to waste any more time and left. The point is: if you are willing to pay high prices, wait a long time, have zero customer service, and have a no show stylist just for a good cut, then Rigsby is the place for you! read more

I went to get my hair bayalage'd back in November, (it is now almost March) and my hair is still damaged. I have never had a hair stylist mess up my hair so bad. For about 2 weeks after I got it done, I was unable to even get a brush through my hair. On the left side of my hair, about 5 inches just broke off because it was so damaged. I have spent about $800 trying to fix it at other salons since then. She left the color in way too long, over processed my hair, and then when she rinsed it out she wasn't please with it so she added MORE bleach to my already destroyed hair. I was in the salon for 7 hours, and it was the worst experience I have ever had. I have had to cut about 8 inches off since the incident, and it is still damaged. We called to try to get my money back, and they said it is their policy not to give refunds. Other salons have told me that the only way to get my hair back to normal is to keep cutting it off, and just wait for new hair to grow in. I do not want anyone to go through what I have been going through with my hair, so I suggest you do NOT go to Rigsby Frederick Salon. read more

I have been going to Rigsby for over a year. The last time I was there in December he kept me waiting for over an hour. Then when I finally asked his trainee to get him, he used the excuse of it being "Christmas". He was busy "visiting" with other customers that were apparently friends of his. When he finally cut and styled my hair, I told him I did not like the way he styled it. He then just left and his trainee finished for him. At $85 for a haircut this is very disappointing. The next time I made an appointment for noon. As I was running a few minutes late, I called the salon to let them know and to inquire as to whether Rigsby was on time or not. I was told that he had just gone into a meeting and he had two other appointments ahead of me, and that I would have to wait approximately 45 minutes. This is absolutely ridiculous! The haircuts are okay, but the wait is certainly not worth it. la read more

For being one of the supposed best salons in town, I was sorely dissapointed. I got no consultation, the service was very rushed and my stylist didn't even talk to me until halfway through the appointment when I struck up a conversation. The haircut wasn't anything spectacular. When you go to a salon you want to be pampered and that's part of what the high cost includes. Don't waste your money here if that's what you're looking for. read more

I've always gotten great haircuts from this place, they are a little pricey but I find it is always worth it. I have almost never getting haircuts as good as I consistently get here. read more
