I had a good experience with Skyler at S Salon. She was very friendly and chatty and I had a really good couple hours with her!! The prices are pretty normal for Fairbanks, so they aren't much less $$ than a dye from Elements or something. However I do prefer S Salon! She did a great job on my hair and gave me good recommendations for a hair mask and shampoo to keep it from going brassy. read more

S Salon & Studio - blonde hair by skyler :) - Hair Salons Near Me - Fairbanks, Alaska

Research your stylist (and I did, but not good enough!) This is going to be a long post, but necessary if you're thinking about getting your hair done in the Fairbanks area: I wanted to make a well thought out post about a salon I visited here in Fairbanks. I did not have a good experience but I wanted to make others aware of what could happen. I went in this salon with my hair looking better when I went in, than what it looks like currently. I am quite devastated by what my hair looks like right now and I'm having it fixed elsewhere. I don't want to bash someone that can do good things for other people but my experience was not a good one, AT ALL. What I wanted was to be that dark/natural brown to platinum blonde balayage, or what I thought was considered balayage. What I wanted was possibly not achievable in the first session but what I got was quite embarrassing. I had my hair done at S. Salon on Cushman by a girl named Anika. She was very nice and she explained a lot to me in cosmetologist terms (which I didn't quite understand everything) but I shouldn't have let her touch my hair to begin with. I am so very regretful for that. I waited over a month for this appointment and was so excited to finally get my hair done after a long 8 months. I had my hair done balayage about a year ago and when my roots started growing out, I did a natural brown box color at my root to make it last longer. (Now I know not to do that again!!!) I loved my hair before I went into this place (minus my grey roots) but my blonde had grown out so much that my hair was mostly brown. Hence why I was wanting it done again. I will post the photos of what my hair looked like before I went in. I got my hair done by Anika (she turned it brown) and I sat in her chair for 5 hours, not getting home until 8:45pm. I told her that I was not happy and I was actually almost in tears at the fact that my hair was BROWN! She told me that to fix it, it would be complimentary and I went ahead and paid the $288 I was charged and even though I wasn't happy, I gave her $10 extra for her time(BTW, I am a good tipper and had all means of tipping at least $50, had I been happy). I walked out of there with brown hair and paying $298 for something I hated (thinking/hoping it would be fixed). Obviously I was not happy at all with what Anika had done to may hair, and I was in her chair for 5 hours. She spent a long time putting all these foils in my hair but my hair was flipping BROWN! I wanted it BLONDE!!...anyhow I went back to have my hair "fixed" by the owner of the salon, (Scott) and I again was in his chair for 5 hours. My hair looks like absolute CRAP! Yes, there are parts that are blonde but still not the blonde that I was anticipating and before I even let him touch my hair, I said to him "If you can't give me what I want, then I want this" ----"Are you able to do that??" He convinced me that I would be able to achieve at least the platinum level of blonde on the bottom part of my hair that was in my photo. Well that didn't happen...what he gave me is super spotty brown/blonde. My roots (that I shouldn't even have!) look like they've been grown out 8-10 weeks and I am just beside myself. I can't go out like this! I went back to the salon the next day (yesterday) to speak w him in person, because I wanted him to see what he had done to my hair again. I asked him "do you honestly think that my hair looks good right now?" He said yes, from what you are trying to achieve, I think it's going in the right direction....ummmmm, NOOOO!! I asked him for a full refund because I am nowhere close to what I wanted and my hair is absolutely embarrassing. He told me to send him an email and provide photos of my hair and he would "consider" a refund. Obviously I was PISSED at that point but I did what he asked and explained why I was unhappy, while requesting a refund. I now have to pay the same amount of $$, or MORE to have it fixed. I realize that they spent a lot of time on my hair but I am the customer and I am NOT happy! I guess it's a good thing that it's cold here, because I'll be wearing a beanie until my hair is fixed on March 12 elsewhere. His response to my email was NO REFUND, and while he was polite...I am beyond upset and I just want to make others aware of the kind of business that this place thinks is ok. This photo below is my hair BEFORE I went into this salon, other photos are in the comments read more

I really had high hopes for this salon as I was referred here by a few people. After looking at Instagram pictures of their work I decided to give the salon a try. The staff was all so kind and courteous. The salon was beautiful inside. BUT To say I'm disappointed with my hair is an understatement. I asked for honey blonde highlights. After spending 5 hours and 300 dollars, left the salon with red/orange hair. I'm so upset and embarrassed about how my hair looks now. I didn't think it was possible to look worse then it did when I went in. The stylist was receptive about rescheduling me to fix it but after some thought I just decided I'd rather go to someone else. read more

I was able to get an appointment quickly and easily with Maddie who majorly helped me out with a highlight refresh before being a bridesmaid in an upcoming wedding. I was checked in as soon as I arrived. I had hot coffee with foam in a cute mug while I got my hair done Maggie was easy to talk to and did a beautiful job on my hair. The salon is spacious, open, and clean. Excellent experience! read more

Love this place! My son gets his cut with Scott. Always friendly and clean. I've never been unhappy with my cut or style. They also offer brow waxing. Prices are typical Fairbanks prices. Love S read more

Definitely a great salon. Some would say its pricey, but you get what you pay for when it comes to hair. They wash, cut, color, and style your hair completely to your liking. They are skillful and welcoming. I always leave satisfied and looking forward to the next time I get my hair done. read more

I just recently had my first experience at S Salon with a stylist named Charlene. I was very nervous going in because I was attempting a FOURTH fix on my botched "balayage" that I first started on my LONG VIRGIN HAIR at Team Cutters. So I was taking a chance on a new stylist at a new salon after 3 mess-ups on my hair so I was pretty nervous to say the least. My mother's long-time stylist recommended I book with a stylist named Skyler at S Salon to fix my hair because she is apparently great with balayage/ombré. She was not available so I took the only appointment available during the time I'd be in town, and that was with Charlene. She was a little slow to get me from the waiting area after her previous client checked out but once she got her hands in my hair all was well! She fixed my horrifically botched balayage and really LISTENED to what I wanted and looked at pictures with me to gain a really good understanding of what I was wanting. She bounced her plan off of me to make sure I was comfortable with what was going on so that we were on the same page and I wouldn't be further disappointed. She darkened my roots (she called it making me "rooty" lol) by pulling the color through from the roots and blending it through my misplaced, overly foiled hair and made it appear as more of a gradient transition from dark root to medium mid-shaft to finally brightened, blonde ends that she took extra time to brighten up for me while the color simultaneously processed. She also managed to keep my hair healthy at the same time. The final look was beautiful and she got my fine textured, dark brown hair blonder than its ever been and kept it healthier than I thought it could ever be with that much bleach (especially after being compromised from 3 previous mess-ups). I took a chance and at end I got exactly what I wanted from day 1 and I just wish I would have gone to her to begin with. I will be going back to her soon! Also, I did see Skyler's work while I was there which was beautiful as well as a girl named Sharon. I would take an appointment with either one of them as well. Two thumbs up for S Salon & Studio! *they also offer coffee, tea & water and had quite hospital hosts. read more

Just moved back and I was looking for a place to get my hair done. Went in for blonde highlights, and left with brassy orange. Went back to have it fixed and I still have the same issue, except now my hair is breaking off all over. Can't do anything now till my hair is repaired to try again, but I can say it won't be at this salon sadly. I've always had really nice hair and never had color issues before, this really makes me sad my hair is now in this state. read more

Brittany cut and styled my hair perfectly! After moving to the area from Seattle, my hair became incredibly dry and damaged. So, I asked for a medium length cut, losing 6 inches...which is always a little scary! Brittany gave me a more professional and polished style. I am very happy with the results! read more
