I'll come back to add more photos of my hair when I get home. I noticed someone else had the same issue i had yesterday with them, which is quite frustrating. I made an appointment online for lowlights and a cut, even though my hair is already just above my shoulders. I showed up to my appt., and the green-haired lady told me she was "elbow deep in color," and couldn't check the system. So I even though I successfully made an appt., I didn't really make the appt.?! I told the owner it was pretty frustrating, but she didn't apologize. I even bought a shirt, and I got charged more $$ because it was an XL instead of a medium. No biggie. I'll come back tomorrow, right? Umm yeah... I come in to see a young, like teenage young lady, who proceeded to start walking... so I followed her. I had to ask if she was my stylist? Asked her name...? It's fine that she's shy. No problem. I'm nice to everyone. So I tell her EXACTLY WHAT I WANT. Since my hair isn't long; it's super fine and thin-- I figured this would be a home run. I haven't had my hair done other than great clips since before covid. I'm also partially disabled, so I don't get out much. As far as color, I wanted it to be darker. I wanted to look "hip," because I'm 39, so bring on the midlife crisis! So we decided on the lowlights instead of all over color. Everything went smoothly... I really enjoyed chatting with the stylist next to Sydney too. She had a client leave who looked like something out of a magazine, so I was excited for mine to look half that great. As far as the cut, I told her I wanted "edgy, hip, cool, uneven around the edges, just below my earlobes, etc." the only thing I specified was "please don't do super short layers. They don't look good on me." I told her I had some pics for reference, but every time I show a photo, it looks nothing like it because my hair is SO THIN. So I explained it great detail. So she puts my foils in and leaves me there for 30+ minutes. Didn't tell me where she was going. I had to ask the stylist next to her if she was coming back? Anyway, she took out the foils and dried my hair. At first it looked great, but turns out it's the UNDER SIDE of my hair that looks so great. The top looks pretty much exactly the same. Then she cuts my hair, and I'm praying she's not about to say "tada!" .... But she was done. She cut about 3/4 an inch off, straight around-- total "mom haircut," which I told her I didn't want because I'm not a mom. So she walks off and brings the owner back. She was completely unapologetic, (again.) and told me I was being "contradictory." I said, "how am I being contradictory?" Apparently Sydney listened to none of what I said, at best. She said, "well you said you didn't want layers..." huh? I just shook my head and told her what I told Sydney. I DID NOT WANT ULTRA SHORT LAYERS. We kind of went back and forth about what I said I wanted, as I was VERY CLEAR, and she instructed Sydney to just do "this, that, and the other." I told Sydney I needed to make a phone call, so I did. My sister told me to RUN. She said, "if she didn't listen to you the first time and didn't do a good job, what makes you think she'll do a good job the second time?" I realized she was spot on, and told Sydney I was leaving. She wasn't apologetic at all. I still tipped her more than 15% because it's almost Christmas, (and I'm not satan...) but she didn't deserve my money; and the owner ESPECIALLY didn't deserve my money. I honestly feel I should've been given a discount, as now I'm going to have to pay someone AGAIN to cut my hair. It would've been the decent thing to do. But that went out the window when I walked in the door, obviously. I'll never go back-- and I hope anyone who reads this needs my advice as well. Don't be fooled by the lower prices-- you get (or don't get!) what you pay for!! read more

I walked in for an appointment for 2:30. Sat for 15 mins . I asked for an inverted Bob , which only needed a trim. I thought the person Bethany knew how to cut hair but does what she wants. Used a thinner scissor on the top of my hair. Which common sense you don't use that on top of hair. My hair looks like Edward scissor hands had a bad day. It's too thin , not even at the bottom. Looks like a rat chewed the top of my hair. The other hair stylist are probably better. Not sure but I'll never go back there again. read more

I want to start off by saying that I have a stylist Friend who usually comes out to my house to do my hair so it has been a hot minute since I set foot in a salon. I love how my friend does my hair but she isn't always available, so I decided to go salon shopping! I asked for recommendations in a beauty forum and several people suggested Shear Artistry- a stylist from the salon also commented and after taking a look at their impressive Instagram portfolio, I decided to book an appointment- and I am soooo glad I did! I booked with Tyler and I think I have found my forever stylist! They are AH-MAZING! Tyler took the time to explain the science of hair when it comes to products and color and worked with me to figure out exactly what I wanted for my haircut. They even styled my new Mohawk for me. I gotta say, the customer service here is phenomenal and the stylists are extremely talented. The prices are also very reasonable. PLEASE do yourself a favor and come here for your hair needs- they will 100% take care of you and make you look AMAZING! read more

I paid $57 ($45 plus $12 tip) for a crooked, unblended cut by Sylvia. I didn't notice the back until two days later (I was handed a dirty hand-held mirror to see the back at the end of the cut on 11/9). I was refused a refund. I was too scared to go back for a "repair"- I don't want the back super short. She was amiable during the cut, but you would think for that money and with her "experience" it wouldn't look like a kindergartner's art project. read more

Everyone knows how much the quarantine affected our hair. I scheduled an appointment with Therese. She is an old friend and I trusted her with my hair and she did not disappoint! She did an absolutely fantabulous job! I've already scheduled my next appointment and she will be my permanent hair stylist. Thank you so much! read more

I booked an updo on Valentine's day last minute for my small civil wedding ceremony. Classy did a wonderful job. She was very friendly and put me at ease while also working quickly when I told her I only had an hour. She also charged way less than all the $10 haircut salons I called. She took the time to make sure my thick, straight hair stayed in place. With everything else being thrown together, the crown braid transformed my whole look and made me feel like a bride. I'm so glad I went to her! read more

Shear Artistry Salon - Crown braid - Hair Salons Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

The place has zero customer service and it shows. During a pandemic they have limited walk ins, this is great due to their easy to use online portal. Problem is they do not bother to check their portal and when you show up for your haircut they have no one available. I have left multiple calls that never get returned. I have been going to this salon for almost two years but today they let me sit outside for 30 minutes because no one called to inform me the appointment was cancelled. Take your business to other salons that want you there. This one has a revolving door of mediocre beauticians that lack common courtesy to call you back. Location is on a busy road and difficult to find close parking during the day. read more

Classy Cline is my hair girl and she is the freaking bomb. She has kept my hair healthy as hell and is super fun to hang out with when getting your hair done for 9 hours (when i got that pastel holographic curly look that's how long perfection takes) and she will never steer you wrong with brand recommendations. I haven't needed a haircut in months and she won't try to force anything on you that you don't need. She really understands hair types and is just a literal queen so if you go to Shear Artistry definitely ask for her. read more

This Salon is AWESOME, especially if you are laid back like me. You can have your salon experience without a scrutinized/pretentious feel. The online appointment booking feature is nice and very easy to use and for someone like me who does everything online at 3am, it can't get much better. I was referred to Sylvia (who is also the owner) at Shear Artistry after I had a very bad (borderline traumatizing) experience at another local salon trying to get a red ombré in my hair. Instead of an ombré I had red roots and blonde streaks up to my eyes with patches of brown. My "side bangs" were also cut in a bad, bad chunky way and my "long layers", well they didn't exist. Not only did Sylvia fix the mess but she gave me EXACTLY what I wanted, even managing to salvage my bangs as best as possible. One if the best parts was that my absolutely gorgeous color and cut cost the same amount as ONLY the color at the other place. Quality and value? Ummm, yes please :-) I don't think I will ever go anywhere else from now on. The experience and knowledge of my stylist was very apparent and I would trust her to do anything with my hair. read more

I have been coming here for about a year and each experience is better than the next! Apryl does a great job with my hair every time and has always been awesome when I am thinking of trying something new or Offering suggestions. As a Louisville native I have been to lots of salons but this is the first one that I have been consistently coming back to! I think it is a great value, great atmosphere, and awesome customer service. I have recommended this place to several friends and will continue to do so! read more

Got a cut and blow out with Tyler today. My hair feels like silk and he was such a sweetheart to talk to. I will definitely be coming back!

I've had many hairstylists come and go, but I've been with Sylvia at Shear Artistry for several years now. She is fabulous. I have always left her chair feeling like a hair model. It always looks like I want it to...even when I'm not completely sure of how to describe what I'm wanting. She just gets me. The salon is clean, fairly priced, conveniently located, and everyone is so friendly. Will continue here for many years! read more

When I first moved to Louisville, I knew I had to find a hair salon that came highly recommended and one of my friends, who is native to Louisville, told me about this place and Sydney (one of the salon artists around!) and I am so pleased that she did! Now, when it comes to my hair...I really don't like to get it cut. I had a bad haircut a while ago and I usually struggled to get it done, especially with someone new. It needed a trim really badly and so, I conquered my fear and went to Shear Artistry and met with Sydney. Sydney was so attentive to my needs and I told her how I felt about getting a hair cut, and with a smile on her face, she told me not to worry. She was so lively as she did my hair, and I felt much more comfortable as time passed. I was so pleased with the end result, and made sure I told Sydney and the rest of the ladies that work here. I have returned a few times now, and every time, I am very pleased with my hair cut! I also enjoy how you can do an appointment online, and see the little profiles of the ladies and what they specialize in. Overall, this place is awesome! The atmosphere is so welcoming and everyone is very kind! I just love always coming in! This place is quite a gem and I am so glad I found it! read more

Always get a great haircut when I come here. I have very textured thick hair that's always a mess, so i avoid going to the salon as much as possible. But I've been to shear artistry about 5-6 times since I've lived in Louisville, and I've always had great service. My schedule is crazy so usually if I find I have a day free, I just have to call that day to get an appt. So I usually have different stylist every time. But they've always been able to fit me in, and I'm always very pleased with the outcome. I've had haircuts, All over Color and Highlights (all different every time), and they've always done exactly what I want the way that I want it. And I say anyone who is considering going here, should give them a shot, I was nervous at first, but everyone is really friendly and made me feel very comfortable. I think this salon is great, their prices are very reasonable for the quality of their work. read more

One of the worst haircuts I have ever received. This was about a year or so ago, but I did not have a yelp account then. I asked the hairstylist for a long layered cut to give me more volume and movement. I left with extremely uneven choppy ends and hair flatter than when I walked in. It might have gotten better since then but I won't be going back. Everyone was very nice and friendly but that didn't help how my hair looked for the next month. read more

This morning I requested an appointment using the online booking system, and just a few hours later I was in the salon waiting for my ombre. The salon itself is awesome. Very trendy, and very well kept. The salon is a little smaller than I'm used to, but I liked it much more. Audrey was fantastic at making sure my ombre wasn't too harsh and blended together very well. I'm super impressed and will definitely be coming back. read more

Went in with a photo with the directions on it for the color and highlights. Had to return a second time to get the cut and highlights fixed. The cut was ok but the highlights were crap. I was left looking like some new age version of Cruella DeVil! Had to go to a different salon to get the color and highlights re-done. New salon couldn't believe the condition of my head. The staff spent an inordinate amount of time mean-mouthing a client that was in house! I will never go here again and would recommend all who read this heed this warning. read more

Not only is the place dirty, the young man didn't listen to me about the cut I wanted and two days later no one could fix it for me until he came in that night. I'll get a better stylist to fix it somewhere else. read more

They are not very courteous...make you wait for a half hour after your appointment time and then don't have the courtesy to tell you that they are running behind...just leave you sitting out there as though a half hour is nothing...again, no manners. read more

I have been going to Shear Artistry for 2+ years now and have to say that I am still impressed and very satisfied with the services I've obtained. Sidney is absolutely the best in all avenues. She has cut, styled, colored and even put in extensions in my hair. Sidney is a Godsend!!! She is always attentive and very sweet and on top of it all, she does a phenomenal job. Its nice to know that when I go see my stylist, I am also seeing my friend. So go see Sidney at Shear Artistry in Louisville!! read more

I love this place and I love my stylist, Apryl! She does fantastic color and always listens to what you want. I will keep going there for many years to come! read more

My stylist seemed to be completely disinterested in me or my hair. She asked me what I wanted done with my already short hair, and I asked her to just clean it up but told her I was open to suggestions for other styles. She didn't offer any and appeared totally bored. I carefully explained that I always wear my hair behind my ears yet when she started cutting the first thing she did was cut it really short around my ears. I tried to talk to her about my color and she made a brief suggestion but didn't offer to schedule an appointment to do it. I really felt that she couldn't wait to get me out of her chair. Maybe the rest of the stylists are great, and maybe my stylist is more engaged with her other clients, but I'm definitely not going back. read more

This salon is fantastic! Incredibly reasonable prices, but also fabulous haircuts. My normal stylist is Apryl, but I needed a last minute appointment today, so Sidney was able to fit me into her schedule. Both ladies are fabulous, and really took the time to make sure I was happy with my haircut. Love this salon! read more

I had the most amazing experience!! Sylvia cut my hair and she did EXACTLY what I wanted (which is amazing considering my explanation wasn't that great) Everyone here was also super friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be coming back!!!!! read more
