I moved to Washington three years ago and have not been able to find the right hairstylist to cut and style my hair the way I like it. I never leave reviews but this time, it is really worth it. Rebecca was super warm and friendly, and she knows what she is doing. I just had to show her a picture of the cut I wanted and there it was 45 min later! She and Jenny, another hairstylist, have a family vibe to them which I love but are also very professional and dedicated. I highly recommend this salon! read more

I always love having Rebecca do my hair. She always does amazing cuts and colors and fixes the mistakes when I cheat on her and they butcher it. It was one time and it was awful but she really saved it and I actually liked how it grew out. The staff is always super pleasant to include offering to run next door and get me a sandwich while I'm waiting. It prob doesn't hurt they own the sandwich shop too but it's still nice. Plus I'm terrible about getting regular trims and touchups, so it's usually at least 6 months in between but they always remember me. I've been coming here basically since they opened and i don't anticipate switching salons despite having closer salons to me. Literally there is one downstairs from me but I drive to Lakewood. read more

Salon Prodigy - Close ups of my new hair color - Hair Salons Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Can I just say, I'm in loveeeee? I first heard about this salon when I went next door to try out the Sandwich shop which Aaron found me on Yelp and was like "hey! Come check us out." So I made my way on over and said Hey back and he's a cool dude. But this review isn't about the sandwich next door. Or is it? (; Funny how life turns out doesn't? Maggie from the salon actually ended up messaging me too on Yelp and I thought, what are the odds? Seriously, if you get to know me, I have he worst hair experience stories ever within the 22 years I have been alive! Including the traditional Korean baby head shaving at a year old. At first, if I hadn't met Aaron first I would have automatically thought- ugh she is just trying to get herself clients! But nopes. Not that way at all. It was the beginning of a brand new friendship with the best hair stylist I have yet to meet! We are the same age too! When you ever go to a salon and find someone who is so compatible and alike? This girl right here! I definitely want to say a huge thanks to Maggie!! Like "oh-my-goodness, Maggie look at .... my hair." Yep, I said it. I walked in with the idea of, "she said she wanted to style it up for me so I'll see what she got up her sleeve". (Maybe a tattoo of hair-styling scissors). I told her I would like a complete change. Something different and WILD. She went ahead and let me know what the price is going to look like before starting anything. Back in the day I used to be cheap about how much my hair would cost. Now, I will pay what it takes to look bomb! Oh boy oh boy, am I liking what I see so far. (Well currently I am under the bulb-y looking heat machine as I write this but this review shall continue!) I just needed a head start since this review was going to be a bit lengthy. Props to those who made it this far! I mean you have to find out about the outcome right? P.S. I have been dying (okay totally exaggerated) to eat another one of the sandwiches next door!! And guess what? I step in to use the Ladie's room and I come back with Maggie smiling and *bam*! I see half of a sandwich lying right next to my purse. Yup, MY purse. She said it was for me. Oh darling, this can't get any better! I was getting a little hungry too. Oh but wait, it does get better. I will be back, my hair's ready for its unveiling. (Dun Dun Dun). And the finale is here! I love my new hairstyle- it completes my new overall style!! Rockin' my new monroe and clothing (; It took 4 hours but totally worth it!! Maggie is awesome for relating to me and my life stories! She's friendly and definitely took my concerns into consideration and taught me some tips! I will definitely have to be back to get my hair brightened up for Paradiso (; read more

The salon has a very comfortable feel. The stylist are very talented and friendly. Unfortunately I can't leave a higher review because I am not pleased with my recent service. I'm actually going to find a new stylist, because the service was that displeasing. I felt like my requests were disregarded and she rushed my service, which is why my hair turned out completely opposite of what I requested. Most the time they do a good job. read more

DONT GO HERE! I went here to get a trim, My hair was just below my shoulder blade, it took over 1.5 hours and when she finally showed me it was resting on my shoulders. I could have cried. I am not sure about any of their other services. If you have long hair dont expect to keep it. read more

I love this salon! I have been getting my hair cut and styled here for two years, almost since they opened the business. Rebecca, one of the owners, does fabulous coloring...and she is super quick with the foil! Most places take at least two hours foiling my very thick hair, and she gets it done in less than half the time. The prices are more than reasonable. They also have product packages for the shampoos and conditioners. The other owner, Aaron, is usually around, talking to the clients and making sure everyone is comfortable. It is never, ever boring at Salon Prodigy! If you aren't inclined to participate in the conversation, they have a television and an assortment of DVDs to keep you occupied. They launched their tanning salon about six months ago, and they carry several lotions and accelerators, as well as a UV teeth whitener. I think they take walk-ins but its better to call ahead for an appointment. They use Redken and Pureology products exclusively. read more

Meh, went a while back and paid 40 bucks for a cut comparable to a great clips. I was squeezed in just before closing, when the dresser found out she wouldnt have enough time to wash my hair, some product was just slapped on and my hair was restraightened and cut. Won't be back. At least the stylist was nice. read more

Being in the throws of motherhood I've neglected my mousey blonde hair for many years. Looking for a boost I met with stylist Jaq who was so unbelievably professional, knowledgeable and fun! More recently I had Rebecca the owner brighten up my highlights and feel better than ever! The salon is charming and welcoming. You cannot beat the price list- by far the most reasonable and professional salon in the area. Look no further! Support these awesome chicks and business- you won't regret it! read more

Salon Prodigy - Hair Salons Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

I have been here a couple of times and have had Shyla work on my hair and she is AMAZING! I'm not sure what was going on with the other reviewer that complained about Shyla "ruining" her hair with choppy layers, because she gave me wonderful flow-y layers when I came in for a trim and some new layers. My stylist was super friendly and open to listen to what I want done to my hair, as I am very picky and love my long locks. My second time coming in I had decided to get an ombre. I was extremely nervous that it might turn out red from my dark brown hair or that the color variation would be too extreme, but it turned out BEAUTIFULLY! When my stylist asked how I liked it the first time she washed out the chemicals, I asked if she could lighten the tips a bit more and she happily did so without even a hesitation. I am very satisfied with my ombre and would recommend Shyla to anyone who is interested in having beautiful hair(: read more

Came here on a recommendation from my wife, who had her hair cut by Rebecca and loved it. I had been wanting to get balayage color, so took a chance and made an appointment for cut and balayage. Rebecca did an amazing job! She is so friendly and professional, I felt very comfortable with her working on my hair. I gave what I think was a poor description of what I wanted, but she pulled it off perfectly, it was exactly what I had in mind. I'm in the army so it couldn't be anything too dramatic. I'd highly recommend this place :) read more

Salon Prodigy - Subtle balayage, juat what I wanted! - Hair Salons Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Just wanted to say it's been almost a year since I started visiting Salon Prodigy and I'm happier than ever. Recently, Shyla gave me the pixie cut of my Jean Seberg dreams--and Rebecca did a great job on my husband's hair AND my mother-in-law's. Everyone ended up looking wonderful. Shyla and Rebecca really listen, and are both so talented. Very convenient hours, too, which I appreciate. I love this place. read more

I've gone here since 8th grade and I have just graduated college(9 years); least to say I've always had an awesome/professional experience and would recommend Rebecca any day! I have been through multiple events (8th grade formal, military ball, jrotc ball, prom,etc.) getting my hair done by Rebecca and one of the things I enjoy most is that she really listens to what you want! I've had some outrageous spit ends and I just go in and tell her the length I want it and my new hair style always surpasses my expectations! Thanks to Rebecca! I've had my hair (colored, highlighted, ombré) here and always walk away a happy customer! I definately urge you to give Rebecca a try! read more

Heidi is my go to girl for my cut and color every six weeks! She does a fantastic job and I get tons of compliments on my hair every time! The salon is clean and updated and the staff is very professional. I happily refer all of my friends. Highly recommend booking your next appointment with Heidi!! read more

I have been to this salon twice now, with my first time being hair for the entire wedding party. They were very eager to please and flexible (calling in one of there employees early that day) 4 of us got our hair done there and if your whole wedding party gets there hair done - its only 35 bucks a person! fantastic! My stylist Desiree did exactly what I asked of my up-do. She took time, and really studied the picture I brought into her and it turned out more beautiful than I had imagined. One of the owners (male) gave me free lotion and lip balm that is exclusively made by them as a little wedding gift and gave all my bride maids lip balm. I thought that was great. Just went back recently in desperate need of a haircut and again brought in a picture of what I wanted. Desiree did exactly what I asked and made sure I was completely satisfied before leaving. I also like the fact that they didn't try to pressure you into buying there products. They have tanning on site, and for really cheap. 5 dollars a tan in a medium bed and also a lot of great package deals. I am very satisfied with the service I receive both times. read more

Tried multiple times to make an appointment in November and December, but they don't have a centralized appointment system as they all rent chairs. They take your name and number and say they will let their stylists know when you are looking to come in and someone will get back to you, but no one ever does. read more

So, I had been to the salon 6 weeks prior to my Christmas hair color/cut. The gal I had went to no longer worked there. I made an apt. anyway for a root touch up and some fun color, I wanted violet highlights. Omg, she was fresh out of school and totally...obviously...had no clue as to what I was asking. I ended up all over RED! And it cost me 135.00! It sucks and I still am unhappy with my messed up bleeding red hair! I could do better myself. I asked for a root touch up and some holiday color. I won t be going back! Total rip off! read more

When I got my hair cut by Rebecca, not only did I get a magnificent haircut, I also got an hour's worth of entertainment from her and the other staff and customers. It was seriously like being in the middle of a hilarious and twisted sitcom, and I mean that in a very good way. If you want a tranquil scene, this might not be the place for you. But if you want to laugh, and leave feeling beautiful, check them out. read more

I have been a loyal patron for 4 years now. Hard to imagine where I'll go when I move. Rebecca is absolutely magnificent with color and I trust her with my hair care wholeheartedly. read more

I went in with FIVE pictures of what I wanted. I was very clear that if they weren't capable or willing to do it to do it to tell me before hand, she assured me that it wouldn't be a problem at all. $200 later and my hair no where near the color I asked for, she then used the excuse your hair wasn't healthy enough to do that color. I was telling my friend my story and she told me she had the same experience here! Will never go back. read more

The owner Rebecca did a wonderful job on my daughters hair. My daughter has very thick hair and she took the time to do it right. She talked to her the entire time and my daughter enjoyed the convo. I will definitely go back there for both of us. read more

They made me pay $100 more than they originally quoted me. Really really disappointed. I went to this salon to transition my hair from brown to purple. The stylist quoted me $120 for a bleach and all over color. That was more than I wanted to spend on hair, but ended up going with it because I really wanted it to be purple. First appointment I had it bleached, obviously I don't expect beautiful blonde but the Orange color I was left with was less than satisfying. Went back almost a week later to have it bleach washed and dyed purple and not only did my stylist ditch me half way through my appointment because she didn't plan for my appointment to go so long, I ended paying $100 more than she quoted me. That's right folks, I paid $214 for purple hair that is washed-out two weeks later. I am so pissed. I will never go back. Who says $120 and ends up making you pay $214?! For hair!!! read more

I went to this salon because they had good online reviews. I explained I wanted a light brown base color with blond highlights and a bob, my usual haircut. The whole process took over 3 hours, and my hair was not quite shoulder length when I walked in. Before we started the cut, I explained I wanted the cut to be chin length when dry, not wet. I ended up chin length when wet, so it was way too short. Three weeks later, it's still too short. I was told if I bought the salon's own brand of shampoo, my hair color would not fade out too fast. Three weeks later, my base hair color is completely washed out and back to blond. It's like there was never a brown base. The highlights are still there, obviously, but no base color at all. Unfortunately, the highlights bled through in several areas and left me with blond blobs of color. For this cut and color job along with a couple of products, I paid over $215.00. I've never paid that much for any service. For that price, I would expect my color to be intact after just 3 weeks, a cut that was not too short, and no blobs of highlights in my hair. I won't be back. read more

Best hair cut and style I have ever had in this town. I have been looking for a stylist who had experience with fine thick hair. Shannon was able to correct my a- line cut and make my shoulder length a-line look amazing. She listened to all my concerns about my hair and cut my hair just how I wanted. She is very knowledgable and even showed me some styling tips for my hair type. I will be back!:) read more

After a crooked haircut and burnt damaged hair from a horrible dye and overly priced services, NEVER going here again!

I never usually leave reviews, but I'm just so happy with my haircut! It's been a long time since I got exactly what I pictured in my head. And my eyebrows look great too! Thanks Rebecca! read more

I went to Rebecca for a couple years to get my hair cut. She always did a great job. However, the last few times I went, it appeared that she no longer cared and did not take her time, nor was it to my standard. The last time I went, which was on Sunday April 12, 2015 I wanted my haircut before my son was born for many reasons including that with two children, I wanted it to be easy to manage, I wanted it to look nice for pictures, and i wanted it to be shaped and trimmed since i was growing it out. I have been actively trying to grow it out for over a year. Well after this appointment I liked it and as usual went home. The next few days I tried to style it, tried to give it a chance and i hated it. It looked terrible. The back was uneven, she added layers when I didn't want her to, the front was choppy around my face with huge gaps in between the layers, and the back had pieces that stuck straight up. I ended up calling her the following Thursday to see if i could come in and so she could fix it and she refused to see me any earlier than the following Monday in which she said I needed to make an appointment and I wouldn't have to pay for that appointment. I tried to remind her that i was 39 weeks pregnant and I was unsure if i had the time to make it to Monday. She would not work with me even though she is the owner and could stay later or come in earlier or fix my hair while a color is setting on someone else. While I was talking to her, she interrupted me and said "oh shoot my other line is ringing" like she didn't want to hear any more from me. I told her she lost a loyal customer and hung up. I had to go to a different salon to get it fixed and now for one hair cut spent over 100$ which is completely ridiculous. She also refused to refund my money since she said she did provide the service. With the poor customer service, lack of understanding and lack of appreciation for their customers, I do not recommend this salon and I will not be going back. read more

Maggie did my eyebrows and they look so goddamn even that i feel like one of those makeup gurus on instagram.

Finally found a good place to get my hair cut and for a great price. Haley did an awesome job and she was wicked nice. Thanks! :)

I had great experiences here at Salon Prodigy. Pretty convenient location, and what I ask for is what I get. I do not remember the gal who styled my hair, but she was attentive and personable. For the price, you can't go wrong. read more

I'm super happy that I came here today! This was the perfect salon for my needs! Rebecca is a great stylist! I just moved to WA and was afraid to try a new salon. I made the right choice! I highly recommend this salon! read more

Maggie is the best. She always knows what I want by my vague descriptions and pictures off Pinterest. #Blessed

I have used this salon for a few months and I really enjoy it. Rebecca always does a great job with my hair and she is very fun to talk to while I get my hair cut. I love that I can book and change appointments online. read more

I went to salon prodigy to get my hair cut yesterday. I have gone in the past and outcomes were usually positive. I explained in detail what I wanted, and how I wanted it. In additipn, I also had photos of the front, back, and side of what I wanted. Instead I ended up with all of my hair cut off and nothing remotely similar to the photos. After explaining that my hair was too short and not at all what I asked for, I was told it was because "the texture of my hair" that made a difference in the length... Instead of having a cute crop, I instead had a hairstyle like Tinker Bell. AND I was still forced to pay for my ruined haircut. The stylist, who will remain nameless, was super cocky about how she had done 3 similiar hairstyles in the same day. I'm beginning to wonder if those women got what they asked for or not. I will never revisit salon prodigy. Nor will I refer my friends there. read more

I was looking for a new stylist and I found my girl!! Maggie at Salon Prodigy took my dry mop of hair and turned it into magic! She rocks! I enjoyed her company, love my new hair cut (and color) and even my husband said it was nice! That's huge!!!! Thank you Maggie! Can't wait to go back again. Ask for Maggie when you call to make an apt. read more

First hair cut I received here was amazing. I was lucky. Never saw the woman who cut it again unfortunately. I was so excited to get another great hair cut. It was the first day of my vacation, I was going to vegas with my husband. My hair was below my shoulders and all I needed was my split ends taken care of and some shape. Half of my hair was chopped off, I have no clue how she thought that was okay without asking. I was so disgusted but hoping with all my might she could pull through and make it cute afterall. Huge weird layer chunks in the back of my head taken off I learned later from my husband when I got home. He was furious and insisted on fixing it. I never thought a haircut could make me so depressed because it was unfixable and I feel hideous. I wish I could launch a grenade at this place for taking my hair cape away. I was Quasimodo on the vegas strip, thanks salon prodigy! Never coming back and hopefully I can find some hair extensions. read more

Salon Prodigy is my favorite salon. I have naturally curly hair - my hair has been blonde, red, brown and highlighted. I am also picky about how my hair is trimmed and everyone who works at Salon Prodigy always listens. I haven't ever walked out of this Salon feeling like my hair is too short. Rebecca and Maggie are the best! read more

Called and left a message and was told I would get a call back to schedule an appointment. Never did.

Oh Boy... I am new in the area and was looking for a place to get a trim. I didn't really know anyone so I went off the reviews here. I won't speak for the entire salon, as my experience is just with one stylist, Shyla. My appt was 10 mins late, but not a big deal, stuff happens. She was really nice and peppy, but when she got to cutting I knew this experience was a mistake. When I sat in her chair I told her the one thing I hate: Thin looking hair, less is more when it comes to cutting. I showed her three pictures of what I didn't like and two pictures of what I liked and explained what I did/didn't like. I asked her to slide cut my layers, that was where the big mistake was. Her shears were so dull she yanked my head back with every cut. Slide cutting is supposed to slide show the hair shaft giving you well blended layers without taking a lot of bulk, however, if you have dull shears, you just end up whacking off a chunk wherever you start cutting. After the first cut I sould have stopped her, but I didn't want to be overbearing, and hope she knew what she was doing. The result? I now have what amounts to a grown out mullet. I have a cicle of hair around my head that is about 5 inches long and then it drops to my length, about bra strap with NO blending. This is the WORST haircut I have ever had in my entire life. Of course there is nothing I can do about it now, so I ended up having to spend $200 on extensions to hide this hideousness. I'm probably going to have to cut all my hair off because the layering is SO bad it can't be blended. I called the salon and told the owner about my experience, she was nice and apologized and promised to check in with me in a few days and offered to "Fix" my hair. Believe me, there is no fixing this. It looks like someone put my hair in a half up half down pony and then cut the ponytail off. It's been a couple weeks and I haven't gotten a call, and honestly the only thing they could do is refund my money, which doesn't replace the last two years I spent growing my hair out. So to sum it up if you go here, DO NO LET SHYLA TOUCH YOUR HAIR UNLESS YOU LOVE MULLETS. read more

First timer and I called last minute and they made time for me! Rebecca was AWESOME! She listened to what I wanted done and she did exactly that. Plus she gave me a military discount because I mentioned my husband is in the military. Very friendly and would definitely recommend it to all! Support your local businesses!! read more

I was very disappointed by the new receptionist. The one with longer brown hair. She is unfriendly, no sense of urgency and computer illiterate. But the salon is the best! Just get rid of that new girl and get someone with much more charisma that matches the rest of the staff and ownership! :-) read more
