My home! I love everyone here. Beyond talented; fashion colors, cuts, love, emotional support. It's all here. read more

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. read more

I only take my daughter to Sinister Salon, because everywhere else we would go to get her a pixie, they gave her a Karen cut. They understood what she was looking for and they gave her instructions on how to style it. Every employee we've encountered is unique and has delivered fantastic end results. Now three years going to this salon, I highly recommend as it welcomes all desired styles and ages! It has an alternative aesthetic and is very lgbt friendly! My only advice is plan ahead and arrive early, there's limited parking in the parking lot. read more

I've been going to sinister since winter of 2024. I have had color services, cuts and nails done here and I never had a problem. I love the whole staff! Britney, Bre, Kid, Destiny, Lissa, and Jess all do wonderful work and are great to chat with. read more

Wonderful experience overall!! Britney did an amazing job on my hair, tailoring the style to fit my hair type and the way it naturally sits. The salon has a very relaxing vibe, all of the stylists were so welcoming (I got a squishie seal!), and I fully enjoyed my experience. This was my second time coming in, and I will be coming back again! read more

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! read more

Sinister Salon - Basic trim, freshened up face layers - Hair Salons Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

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!!! read more

Sinister Salon - Before and after! Love my new cut from Blake! - Hair Salons Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

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!!! read more

Starting off the office person / male we talked to on the phone was really nice. My daughter is alternative and really wanted to go to a place that represents her lifestyle so we thought this would be perfect. We arrived on time for our appointment and were told it would only be a few minutes. We waited about 20 minutes and were told that it would only be 2-3 more minutes. After 45 minutes of waiting the stylist (Bree or Bri) walked past us and didn't say a word. It took her over 25 minutes to blow dry the person in front of us only to come out with barely styled hair. After 45 minutes and rude side eyes from the stylist we left. Want to add that there were several children all hanging out in the salon playing on iPads that were all kids of the stylists. One of the kids actually asked me to get off the couch so she could sit there. Also one of the stylists threw a brush and was angry that the dirty brush was in the clean pile (yuck!) Even my daughter who was very excited was happy to leave after watching the staff for almost an hour. Glad we left after seeing the final result of her previous haircut. read more

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. read more

Sinister Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

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! read more

Sinister Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

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. read more

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 ! read more

Incredible service! Mikaela was friendly and her attention to detail was unmatched! She left me feeling incredible after my big cut definitely recommend to anyone, the vibes were impeccable and the playlists were jamming. I will most definitely be returning in the future! read more

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 read more

Blake is nothing short of a hair alchemist. My wife swears by him. Since finding out about the shop she refuses to go to anyone else in Vegas to have her coloring done. And it isn't only Blake who deserves kudos; the rest of the shop are consummate professionals, with both of my kids having gotten their hair colored by the other stylists there. I know my language might sound stuffy, but I really can't say nice enough things about them. Best place in Vegas for hair styling or color. read more

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 read more

I'll keep this short and simple. My friend and I's appointment were scheduled for 9am on the morning of a wedding. Neither of the stylists showed up!

She went in depth about how I should dry and style it and I feel like a new person i'll be returning every time i need a cut read more

I had my hair cut here a while ago. Zowie did it! I procrastinate often which my experience has nothing to do with the delay of this review. In fact, I constantly reminded myself, "I need to leave that review, I need to leave that review" and so, here I am. Finally. Happy to say I loved my experience, I was satisfied with the cut! I intend on going back. I highly recommend this salon. Zowie is amazing. She's easy to talk to. She knows her shxt and has a beautiful son (aka her litto assistant). I will be coming back for the next cut and maybe some needed color in my life. ‍ Zowie - I'm sorry if I misspelled your unique name. read more

Can't believe I didn't post this sooner! Visited Sinister for a cut and color back in August during my birthday trip and cannot wait to go back. Blake was beyond amazing and a true artist. I left with spectacular color and a perfect cut. Thank you for listenting to my wants and providing input, advice and just all around great service. The affordable pricing and long hours are beyond appreciated. They could easily charge significantly more but their "put customer first" attitude is real and genuine.

The stylists at Sinister Salon were friendly and hospitable but unfortunately the quality of the service left something to be desired. My appointment was automatically rescheduled the day before, for two hours later than what I signed up for, without me being asked. I just received a text/email saying my appointment was moved. I didn't object because my day was wide open so it wasn't an issue. However, the haircut itself did not resemble what I asked for and resulted in an extremely short, uneven fringe when I showed pictures of a mid-length wolf cut. The stylist did charge me a discounted amount which I appreciated because it was evident that she had not given me what I'd asked for. I was hoping that I would have a better experience looking for a more unique cut at an alternative hair salon but I was really let down by Sinister Salon. read more

I'm not even going to lie I hateeee my hair and it's been 4 months now. You may be wondering why I'm just now saying something well that's because I thought by this time the haircut would look better but I cry about my hair almost every month. The lady who did my hair was so sweet so maybe there was a just a miscommunication but my haircut was so choppy like I don't even think another hairstylist could fix it and the color she did on my damaged my hair way more than I expected. I know what I asked for and this was not it. Yes I knew how damaged one part of my hair was but as a "professional" hair stylist I would assume you would tell ur client "hey maybe this isn't a good idea considering the state of your hair " and I would've said that's fine let's not do it but I'm not a damn hairstylist so I didn't know the bleach would make my hair feel and look like straw(I've since dyed my hair back to black because of how bad it looked) At that I came in for a consultation before my final appointment and I still hated my hair after. When I finished with my hair it was dark outside and the shop was closing so no I wasn't going to tell her right there hey I hate my hair. I'm respectful of peoples time and yes maybe I should've spoken up but you don't know how it feels till you're in that position. All of my family claimed it was not worth $370+ and I agree. They are very friendly people and the vibe was awesome but that doesn't overrule the fact my hair is fucked up and will prolly cost me more money and time to fix it. read more
