I've been going to Salon L for years. Prices are reasonable.

It's not, like, spa-calm. I think the owner has done a good job of making sure the place doesn't cause sensory overload. I see Jill. She is very nice and is efficient. I saw her today for the first time in about a year. I had a partial foil with my fine, thick hair, and I was in and out in an hour and a half. It cost $110 which I think was a good price. My hair looks better than it's looked in a long time. She had a good memory for what was up with me last time and that was about one year ago. She remembered my pet and travel statuses and asked for follow-ups. Does she have great memory or do I have memorable tales? Street parking here. You may have to park up a few houses up. It's not far. You can now schedule via text :) And I sure will!

I called to let them know it was blocking vision and dangerous to make a right or left turn. The girl who answered the phone was rude and unhinged and called the police on me for letting them know the car needed to be moved back at least 5 feet. There was plenty of room as you can see from the photo. I don't understand why they don't tell their clients to be more respectful and park correctly according to law. There is plenty of room across the street and just beyond the alley. Amazing how these days that the people who are 100% WRONG try to spin things and not take responsibility. Truly amazing! A month ago I did ask to have the owner (Lorie) call me so we could have a civil chat ... CRICKETS! How stunningly UNPROFESSIONAL.. break the law and then blame someone else!! These are the days we're living in....

I really wanted to love my experience here because the salon itself is absolutely beautiful, and…read moreevery staff member I interacted with was warm, friendly, and welcoming. Unfortunately, the actual service I received was not what I paid for. I booked and paid $90 specifically for a curly haircut, which is a reasonable price in this area for a true curly specialist service. However, what I received felt more like a standard haircut rather than a curly cut. Before the appointment started, I thoroughly explained what I was hoping to achieve: more curl definition lasting beyond wash day, guidance on styling techniques, and a haircut tailored specifically for curly hair. Despite this, my hair was cut wet rather than dry, and there was no curl-by-curl shaping or specialized curly cutting technique used at all. As the appointment continued, several things made me question the stylist's experience level with curly hair. My stylist, Anna, seemed unprepared for the appointment. While styling, my hair was already drying and becoming frizzy in the front before products were even fully applied, and I had to point out that it needed to be re-wet. She also did not have her own diffuser and had to borrow one from coworkers. I had specifically mentioned that curl creams tend to weigh my hair down, but one was still used during styling. The diffusing process itself was also very uncomfortable, as I was instructed to hang the lower half of my body off the chair so my neck rested against the back of it. By the time my hair was almost fully dry, it honestly looked very similar to how it did when I walked in -- like I had showered, slept on wet hair, and done nothing else to style it. That was extremely disappointing after paying for a professional curly hair service. Anna could tell I was unhappy, and to her credit, she was kind and tried to fix things by washing the product out and attempting a blowout instead. Unfortunately, I still left with poorly styled hair. The face-framing pieces were going in different directions, and the overall result did not look professionally styled. I do want to emphasize that Anna herself was very sweet and pleasant throughout the appointment. However, when charging $90 for a curly haircut, a certain level of expertise and preparation is expected, and I do not feel that level of skill or knowledge was there. When booking, I specifically told the salon owner I was looking for an experienced curly hair specialist. I was told Anna was newer to the salon but had experience with curly hair and many happy clients. I truly hope this experience was just a one-off, but based on the multiple issues throughout the appointment, it did not feel like someone with advanced curly hair knowledge or technique. The owner did initially reach out afterward to try to rectify the situation, which I appreciated. However, after I responded, I unfortunately never heard back again. I had been very excited to come here because I've heard so many wonderful things about the salon, which makes this experience even more disappointing. I truly hope they take this feedback seriously because the salon itself has a great atmosphere and very kind staff.

I did not want to leave this review, but after paying $700 and leaving with severely damaged hair,…read moreI feel obligated to warn others about my experience. I went to this salon because a stylist I had been seeing for over a year moved here. She had been maintaining my cherry cola color for about a year, and when she moved to The Boulevard, I told her I wanted to start the process of going back to my natural level 6 brown. I understood that removing red is a process and specifically told her I was completely fine doing it over multiple appointments. I also asked if we could keep the first appointment within a certain timeframe because I had dinner plans, and she agreed. My appointment was scheduled for noon. When I arrived, I sat alone for 30 minutes without being greeted, consulted, or acknowledged by anyone before my stylist finally came over. The appointment ultimately lasted 7 hours, and I had bleach on my hair for approximately 3 hours. When I left, my hair was severely damaged. In fact, my stylist knew it didn't look right because as I was leaving, she told me to "wear a ponytail to dinner." That is not something you say to a client who just spent hundreds of dollars and received a successful service. I have since shown photos from that appointment to other licensed cosmetologists, and multiple have told me the damage was evident as soon as the foils came out. I have always taken excellent care of my hair, use professional products, and have never experienced damage like this. My hair is now rough, difficult to manage, and completely different from how it felt before. I can't run my fingers through it, my natural texture is gone, and it is genuinely unrecognizable to me. I was so upset that I spent the entire weekend crying and had to miss work on Monday. When I called the salon Monday morning, I was told the owner would contact me. I never received a call. When I called back two hours later, the owner suddenly answered. She offered a free treatment if I came in immediately, but the first thing she said to me in person was, "It's not that bad." After spending two days devastated over the condition of my hair, that was incredibly dismissive and upsetting to hear. The owner then told me that the original stylist would perform my next treatment and that I could pay for a new color service. I explained that after what happened, I believed I deserved both a refund and a corrective color service. The stylist refused a refund, and offered the color service for free. I agreed to this, and then stylist put red back on my hair, leaving me looking almost exactly as I did before I started this process, except now my hair is badly damaged and I am out $700. I came to this salon because I trusted my stylist and trusted the salon to guide me through this process responsibly. Instead, I have walked out feeling worse every single time. The most disappointing part is that the owner never apologized, never took accountability, and never made a meaningful attempt to make this right. I wish I had never come here. I am now left paying for the damage done to my hair, and multiple people who have seen the condition of it have told me I should pursue legal action because of how severe the damage is.

Shannon listened to my descriptions, viewed photos, and questioned me regarding desired expectations. Shannon began with the hair cut. This was a first for me. Every other stylist I've visited have done my cut and style last. At the completion of the cut, I was perfectly content with the style and could have left the shop happy! No wash, no color, no style, just a perfect flattering cut. The icing on the visit was a silver highlight/toning to my short cut! Thank you, Shannon, for listening and delivering well over my expectation! I appreciate your talent.

I really appreciated her work and the time she took to explain the entire process to me. She also gave me some tips on which products would work well with my hair texture and recommended shampoo and conditioner to keep my highlights from fading fast or turning brassy. I think Alexandra's work speaks for itself, but one thing I really appreciated was that she made sure to ask about my budget and tell me what different options would cost. It was really helpful to get an idea of all the different possibilities, and I actually wound up spending less than I thought would be necessary to achieve this color. Truly cannot say enough positive things about her!

Sam asking me " you don't like the volume" my hair was matted and dry from her brushing it multiple times. My hair clearly didn't get clean because it didn't absorb any water.
