I have received my monthly haircut from Morgan Odney of Hairpins for the past several years…read more Morgan and the folks at Hairpins are consummate professionals and are exceptionally well versed at the execution of hair care. Hairpins, located in a beautiful building with high ceilings and large windows overlooking the Kauffman Centre for the Perfoming Arts and the skyscrapers downtown, is the perfect place to receive hair care service in the bustling, progressive, eclectic Crossroads neighbourhood of Kansas City. I would never dream of going anywhere else, due to the pitch perfect, well honed craft that is demonstrated by the caring and professional staff of Hairpins.

I also really enjoyed the salon and chatting with Shannon.

I absolutely adore this place. I never thought I would say that about a salon. After a little…read moreresearch, I decided on stopping by Speak to get a haircut because I have a rats nest that people call luxurious locks. Make your appointments online. It was a straightforward website, easy-to-use, and very quick. I've had a lot of problems in the past booking online and often prefer calling to make appointments. But it was a breeze so I was off to a good start. I arrived 15 minutes early for my appointment with Shelby. I tentatively walked in and immediately relaxed. The space was beautifully decorated, there were items from local stores on sale, and the sweet sound of music wafted through the air. Yes, no loud clanking or gaggle of gossip to be heard. It was so refreshing and intimate! There are only two chairs so only two clients can be seen at a time. It's completely different experience than what I'm used to and I like it. Shelby is so sweet and calm. She met me at the front, offered me a beverage (thanks for the La Croix!), and took me back to where the magic happens. The actual salon is a small room with two chairs (but not claustrophobic) and bright windows with a plethora of succulents/greenery in every which corner. I loved it. Shelby listened to my concerns, offered a few suggestions, and started with a dry cut, wash, blow out, and then finishing touches to ensure everything is straight. I didn't go for a drastic change because I'm growing my hair our for my wedding, but I definitely wanted my hair to feel lighter and smoother. Shelby was amazing and thoughtful in her approach. I also really appreciated that she didn't think I was annoying because I'm a natural chatter and at one point, my friend even stopped by to say hi. Shelby (and Julie) were both very gracious and inviting. If you're looking for a zen salon and a totally different but great experience, come here. Ask for Shelby and she will take care of you. Thanks for the wonderful time!

Both Julie and Shelby are wonderful…read more Hair care/other services: They listen, make great suggestions, and my hair always looks and feels great. Shelby does a great job with a brow wax, too. Julie once suggested a style for me, and when I finally committed and Shelby executed it - it's the best haircut I've ever had. My hair type is wavy/curly (various textures from 2B--3B), both Julie and Shelby are respectful of my curls. The various services they offer (like in-between trims & dry cuts) are perfect for what I need. Atmosphere: Also love the studio - location, decor, featured gifts/jewelry, and great styling products. Great taste in music too, I turn on my auto Shazam as soon as I arrive. :)

I didn't realize this Salon had just opened in February. It…read morewas quite sparse when I walked in but, the receptionist was very cordial. My stylist didn't introduce herself so, I had to ask her what her name was. I had purchased a first time client consultation which included a haircut, deep conditioning, and brow color or wax. I choose brow color. The room we went into had one chair and little else. I assumed it was because they just recently opened. She asked what I was looking for and I said I've had the same haircut for years and wanted something completely different. We talked about a cut that would enhance volume at the top and sides as well as the back. I thought we were on the same page but, I was mistaken. I will say she did take her time and was very conscientious with her work. When she turned me around to look in the mirror, my hair was EXACTLY the same as when I walked in, just a little shorter! I was expecting SOMETHING to be different. She asked me what I thought and I told her it looked exactly the same. She said she added layers using a razor but, it just looked flat. Very disappointing. The brow coloring.....maybe she was still working on her technique. I did tip her 20% for her efforts but, I will not be back
