I just want to say the staff at Sinister salon are amazing and a big shoutout to my moms hairstylist Brittany my mom has dementia and Brittany has been her stylist for a few years now because since the first day my mom meet her she really connected with her , Brittany has a real loving heart and patience to do my moms hair I won't take my mom to anyone else only Brittany because she is so caring and also because she is a great stylist

what i left with under DIRECT light so it was darker fr
Nathaly S.

To start off, I have no issues with the staff, and this isn't a critique of their technique or anything--I think my stylist did great and was super friendly! However, I did not get what I asked for at all. For starters, the inspiration photos were pastel-color ghost roots, which I acknowledge were a long shot, but my roots lifted to a nice pale blonde (I'd say around a level 8). So my question is: if I showed her a picture of light roots with dark ends, why did I leave with dark purple roots? I don't think she did a bad job, but maybe next time I'll just ask for a bleach and do the color myself. I had to lighten the color, and now I have a neon pink--which is fine--but that's $200+ wasted. :( Just be extra specific, I guess.

Before and after!  Love my new cut from Blake!

I'm really bad about maintaining my own hair. I have a tendency to just let it grow until I get super sick of it, and then shave my head. The last time I got a haircut was a little over a year ago, and I recently found myself wanting something fun, shorter, and lighter for the new year. Something that I wouldn't have to invest a ton of time in for upkeep. I started researching salons, as the last person I had cut my hair isn't currently taking appointments. Enter Sinister Salon. I know a lot of folks who have gotten their hair done here, and I follow them on social media. The idea of an alternative salon was super intriguing to my gothy little heart. Sinister Salon is the first salon I've found that doesn't do gendered pricing. No "men's haircut" or "Long women's hair cut" prices here! Prices are based on length of hair only. Long cuts are one price, no matter your gender. Short cuts are one price, no matter your gender. Inclusivity is super important to me, so I absolutely loved this. Booking online was easy. I arrived a little early to my appointment. The salon DOES have a parking lot, but it is a little small, and was full when I arrived. (Its in a strip mall with other businesses) Not to worry though, there is a public parking lot across the street that I was able to use. I walked in and was greeted warmly, asked if I had an appointment, and who with. I let them know I had an appointment with Blake, and was shown to the back of the salon where the waiting area is. Alternative/Rock music playing on the speakers, Lots of fun, funny, and alternative artwork and stickers on the walls...I fell in love before I even had my haircut done! When my time came up, Blake showed me to his station and asked what I was thinking about. I showed him my inspiration photo, and we got to work! I don't remember the name of the person who washed my hair, but they were awesome. They kept checking in with me about the temperature of the water, and I was very relaxed during my wash. That's always my favorite part of a hair cut! Blake did an amazing job with my hair. He made me feel super comfortable (as someone who isn't always comfortable with small talk, that's a bit of a feat), and really made me feel like the style I had chosen was a good one. I feel like he tailored the cut to how I normally treat my hair (air dry, not blow dry, and not a lot of product needed). My hair looks SO cute now, and I am confident that I can get the same results without too much effort/upkeep. Blake is the owner of the salon, and I am super pleased to have had him do my hair for me. I'm already planning to come back to see him again for my next cut. in addition to haircuts/blow outs/styling, etc, Sinister Salon also offers waxing and nails! Cannot wait to go back to what is now my new salon! Huge thanks to Blake and the entire crew at Sinister Salon for a great first visit!!!

Nice little gothic/punk salon. Perfect if that's your vibe, and welcoming to non punk/gothic people as myself. Stylist was very sweet and listened to my needs. Was having a bad day so talking to them cheered me up! Good experience overall and happy with my hair!

I haven't had my hair cut professionally in YEARS and this is my first impression of going to a salon here in Las Vegas. The atmosphere and style of the salon was very welcoming, comfortable, and unique. My stylist was Destiny Bowman. He gave me exactly what I wanted and after the appointment, I felt like a new woman and I still do. The person who recommended this salon to me was Sapphire Martinez. Thank you so much!!!

Connie R.

Blake did an amazing job helping tame my kiddos curls and giving him a trim so it's not so wild as they grow it out. He was attentive, giving Jack exactly what they were looking for. Gave us suggestions on how to care for their hair and product info to help get their curls in shape. Other salon staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Had to come back and leave another 5 star because I spoke with Sindy on the phone and she could not have been sweeter! She answered my questions enthusiastically and had the nicest tone with me. Thank you Sindy, you never know what someone is going through and you made social interaction easier for me today :)

I just moved to Vegas a few months ago and haven't seen a hairstylist since October 2023, so it was nerve-racking finding someone new to do my hair for me. I've been going to the same hairstylist for the past 5 to 10 years. I don't recall how I found Sinister Salon, however, I'm grateful that I did. Their prices are super affordable and don't make you feel like you're breaking the bank, and their staff is bomb! You'll notice as soon as you walk into the salon that it is very alternative, very inclusive, and diverse. The atmosphere in the salon is just the type that makes you feel comfortable as soon as you sit down. Normally salons are very prim and proper, which can make for an uncomfortable experience when you feel like you don't fit in with the vibe. However, at Sinister Salon, all walks of life are welcome. You can tell that the staff consider each other to be family and that Blake, the owner, treats his employees well. Zowie was my stylist early Friday morning. I was one of the first clients to walk through the door, and even though Zowie wasn't there yet, the other hairstylist reached out to her and assured me that she was on her way. I didn't mind, as I know how it is to be juggling a baby and a job simultaneously and I did book my appointments rather last minute. When Zowie came in a short while later, she was very sweet and apologetic and I told her that it was totally OK, that I absolutely understood. We went over what my ideas were in her chair, even though I had only booked for a haircut, she was willing to hear me out about some potential ideas that I had for bleaching and coloring my hair. Going for a more alternative hairstyle was an experience that pushed me outside of my typical comfort zone, and I haven't had my hair bleached or colored since before the pandemic and I also hadn't had bangs in over a decade. Zowie was super enthusiastic and excited about my ideas which bolstered my confidence and reassured me that she believed my idea would look good by the end of the appointment. I was super ecstatic to be looking at the woman who was sitting in the mirror in front of me. Normally, I dread looking at myself in the mirror at the end of my appointments because I am always unsure of whether or not my ideas will look good, but Zowie was able to bring my idea to life. Thank you, Zowie for taking the time to reassure me, to boost my confidence, and gift me with a new haircut that makes me smile every single time I look in the mirror. I feel 100 times cuter than I was before and I can't wait to come back to the salon!

Hair afterwards

I didn't have a great experience here. Besides my hair, the experience was not great. I don't think I've ever been to a salon where the stylist wasn't around or conversing with their client a majority or even half of the stay. My hair stylist went to 7/11 two or three times during my visit; it honestly wouldn't have bothered me if I hadn't been there for about 8 hours. My appointment was at 10:45 and ended a little before 7. My stylist conversed with other stylists and customers, I'm generally pretty friendly and will talk. But it was a pretty lonely experience. The stylist was not rude in any way and friendly when she did talk to me. She did check in on my hair, but the communication between us was not there. I wanted white color blocking and dark brown (I couldn't commit to going black). After the bleaching and toning, my hair was still a brass yellow. The stylist dryed my hair then asked how I wanted the cut. I had to initiate the discussion of my hair color, I asked if she would tone it as it was still yellow. She let me know that my hair was as light as she could get it and another round of bleach could break my hair. We discussed other options; through the book they had I chose a lavender purple toner and asked if my hair could be this color. I was told with the purple could neutralize the yellow and it wouldn't be an issue. My hair resembles a light brown after placing the toner on. A big issue I have on this, is I wish this conversation was initiated by the stylist and a lot earlier once realizing my hair could not be the color I wanted. I do want to point out that I have had my hair white before from black box dye and yes it took time but my hair was never turned brown from toner, as it was able to be white from virgin hair which is what my front piece was. The underneath of my hair was previously highlight, which I expected issues with. The dark brown I asked for is also an issue with me, I didn't notice as I was more focused on the blonde piece, but it's not much different than my natural hair. It's not as dark as I expected but there's not much to complain about. Another issue was during my hair cut, I noticed she focused on one side. She was about to style it when I pointed out that my bangs were not the same length on each side and that my hair were different lengths at the ends. However, the end lengths were different lengths from a previous hair dresser but I expected a stylist to notice. Overall, she didn't charge me for the haircut since I was unhappy with the final product. I honestly wouldn't be this unsatisfied if the final product looked like it took 8 hours. I feel like the final product looked like it would take less time. The stylist did recommend to either come back in two weeks to attempt to fix it or try a different stylist there who is more experienced in blonding. In the end, I paid the $200 and left. I called today to discuss when to wash my hair, with what shampoo and what to expect since it is brown. The answers were helpful but it makes me nervous for what my hair will look like on my vacation. I feel even worse since my coworkers were shocked and dissatisfied to hear how long I was at this salon and the price I paid upon seeing my hair. I am still unsure whether to come back or even go to a different salon to fix this.

I found Stephanie on instagram almost a year ago after needing a new stylist. We had a quick consultation & she was honest with what she could do. She gave me amazing hair and we really clicked. Over the last year she has made my hair beautiful different shades of red and black mixed. She even fixed my hair after a botched at home try and didn't scold me after haha. She is great to talk too, we have really good conversations. After some time my husband asked if Stephanie could do his hair. She's been doing an awesome job restarting his Mohawk from scratch. My 2 year old son had a bad haircut from a kids salon and we asked Steph if she could help. She specializes in mullets/shags so she fixed up little guys hair no problem. She's gentle and takes her time cutting his hair so he doesn't get upset. Everyone loves his hair. The salon is inviting with people of all backgrounds. Everyone is nice & cool to talk too, I'm happy to call Sinister our family Salon !

I chose this salon after careful research- the alternative vibe appealed to me as a an official weird nuerodivergent freak hoping it would be run and operated by people who are similar to me- I was very wrong. I have nothing against the stylists, but the owner is extremely petty and strange. I had a very awkward cut and color, which ended up with me getting chemically burned on my scalp and neck. I reflected this in my honest review on Google and the owner threw a fit- the exact thing me and other anxious people fear when being honest with any one. He suggested i should have a HANDLER if I'm too autistic to have a hair cut by myself- as it was my fault I got burned. Beware of this place, as any complaint will be scrutinized and mocked by the owner via the many cameras that dot the salons interior if you leave anything less than 5 stars. Also- when brought to their attention they refused apology, or even a partial refund- citing the fact I even mentioned my displeasure at spending 300+ for bald spots and oozing wounds- as me being cheap and unwilling to pay for my perfect haircut. Owner removes bad reviews when he can and I think their score is not reflected honestly as a result. Take this with a grain of salt, of course- as every one is different- but I would not support this place. I hope the stylists are treated OK because the customer sure isn't! Especially if they are too autistic for a haircut

Hollywood waves by Stephanie.
Shelly M.

Update: November 2023: I have returned to the salon and utilise a bunch of their services for my wedding day. Destiney did my eyebrow waxing and it was the first time I can confidently say that my skin was not red or irritated afterwards. She only uses the best sensitive skin products. She checked in with me on every step and I felt so confident in my own body after leaving with her. It is the first time I have felt complete trust and non-judgement from a wax!!! I LOVE HER! Stephanie performed the most gorgeous hollywood waves on my hair, and as you can see in my pictures.. my hair is quite long. She pulled it off wonderfully, and it did not take her much time to do it at all. I did not think my hair could do anything because of its length! I felt like a fairytale princess. Zowie did my makeup and listened to me when I said I wanted a more natural look (as someone who doesn't wear a lot of makeup on the regular). I felt like a rockstar in their hands! They also styled my husbands hair into a nice slicked back ponytail for him. The team helped me get into my bridal gown, and hyped me up before I went on my way to the chapel. I never thought I could feel so good about myself. I'm already looking for excuses to return! also lmao pls ignore the fact that i managed to wear the same shirt to the salon a year apart

How did that end up there?! I guess happy customers want the world to know.

I've had decades worth of haircuts that never worked for me. My hair always broke off, was prone to…read moresplit ends, and never grew. Regardless of what products I've used or any amount of hair trims, it constantly felt brittle and would tangle from how dry it was, leaving my hair looking like straw. Then I found Allison. Absolute game changer. After my first haircut with her, my hair had zero split ends and has been the healthiest it's ever been. For the first time, my hair can actually maintain length. As a California native, I now schedule my Vegas trips around my haircuts with Allison because I refuse to go anywhere else. Incredible skills and personalized knowledge. Thank you, Allison, for making me feel my prettiest ^ - ^)/

I had a mixed experience here. Booking was super easy and I appreciated all the reminders--it made…read morethe process really smooth. The salon itself is beautiful and welcoming. My stylist did a great job with my haircut, and I could tell she's efficient and experienced. That said, I did run into an issue with the color service. The dye left visible staining along my hairline, temples/sideburn area, and behind my ears, which I wasn't informed about until after everything was done and I saw it in the mirror. The stylist did try to remove it, but it didn't come off easily, so I left with noticeable staining on my skin. I understand that things can happen, especially with different products, but I do wish there had been more communication in the moment and a more thorough final check/cleanup before I left the salon, especially since the staining was visible in multiple areas. Unfortunately, I'm not very comfortable waiting for it to fade on its own, and I'm also not inclined to return for a future service. Overall, I think this place has a lot going for it, but I hope they can improve the finishing process and post-service support so clients don't leave with unexpected issues. UPDATE: (response to Business Owner response) Thank you for the response, Emily. I appreciate you taking the feedback into consideration. I understand that staining can sometimes happen, but my concern was more around the visibility in multiple areas and that it wasn't fully addressed before I left. I've had my hair colored many times in the past and haven't experienced this level of staining, which is why it stood out to me. I'm glad to hear you'll be focusing on improving the final check and communication moving forward.

When Tatsuya says precise, he means PRECISE. I asked for a trim, didn't really have anything in…read moreparticular in mind. Everything turned out perfectly symmetrical. Hair still looks perfect the next morning. I have medium-thickness slightly wavy hair, and frizz is my worst enemy. NOT AFTER VISITING THE SALON!! By the end of the service, my hair was so soft and smooth! To get this level of smoothness, I would need to use a flat iron, but Tatsuya achieved this with just a brush and blow dryer.

I contemplated on whether I wanted to write this bad review and I'd like to preface by saying I…read morerarely write reviews at all. I only write reviews when it's 5 stars and I hate to spread negativity but I'd like to share my experience to prevent this from happening to anyone else. I sat on the thought of even writing a review for a week so here is my experience with Yosuke. I found Ark LV from Yelp going through all the photos and reviews and have always had positive experiences with Japanese hair stylists as I have asian hair and grew up going to many stylists who used Japanese hair methods to treat and care for hair. Given the hair stylist I love and trust is back home in NYC and I had many grays starts to growing out from my original beautifully blended bayalage, I wanted to give trust to Yosuke and chance as I thought going from bayalage to a single color would be an easy job. I started the appointment by showing him the color and cut I wanted mocked up from an image I created using AI and asked if he could do it and he responded, "Well yes, that's my job." With the confidence and the reviews and photos I've gone through, I moved on with the appointment and proceeded to have fun conversations with Yosuke throughout; I even started the appointment recording a hair transition video with him as I was super excited for a new mocha brown color from my original blonde bayalage. By the end of the appointment, after the reveal and cut, the color was a bit darker than I expected which I don't blame him for but I started to see some demarcation and waited until he was done with my layers to evaluate the final product. The haircut took no more than 15 minutes and he gave me more layers than I showed in the picture and didn't thin out the face framing layers I've experienced going to many amazing hair stylists throughout my life. He asked if I liked it and asked how I will complete my hair transition video. Here's the part that really bothered me... I had to ask if he had a mirror I can use to see the back of my head. All stylists I've experienced will always show me the final product from front, side and back to ensure I'm happy with the final product and I can instantly tell why once he handed me the mirror. Please review the photos I've shared to see the demarcation he's created. I didn't wash my hair for a week because I'm scared to see how the color will wash out but from one of the photos I've shown below, the color inconsistencies and demarcation only became more apparent. He apologized, offered to fix it and even only charged me for haircut only which is why I will give him 2 stars but if you don't have experience coloring grown out bayalage, don't take the job. I consulted with my trusted stylist back home and I couldn't get myself to go back for him to fix my hair because I prefer not to be his experiment and run the risk of my hair getting more damaged from bleach and having an even worse outcome.

I've been insanely busy lately, so I just couldn't find the time to come in sooner. ​Honestly, leaving a haircut unmanaged for 4 months usually means my hair turns into a complete disaster. I have super frizzy hair, so I normally have to flat-iron it every single day or get a magic perm just to keep a decent C-curl. ​But for the first time in my life, my jaw-length bob grew out beautifully. Even after 4 whole months, the shape held up perfectly and it was so incredibly easy to style every morning without any extra chemical treatments. The technical skill here is seriously unmatched. ​Some people might think the price is a bit on the higher side, but when you factor in the amazing longevity, the effortless daily maintenance, and how much you actually love your hair, it is worth every single penny. It's the definition of great value and total peace of mind. ​My husband also got his hair cut again today, and just like last time, we are both absolutely thrilled with how we look. This salon is a total gem!
