Very rarely do businesses try to fix things.. The days of it being cheaper to maintain a customer than to get a new one are fading. After a not so great haircut, I was very surprised when the owner called me and offered to fix my hair. I was even more surprised when she actually did fix my hair with how short it was and what she had to work with. Sonia blended my layers, balanced out the hair cut and completely changed the haircut. She also gave me product and tips on how to style it as it grows out. I will absolutely be returning in a month or two as my hair grows to continue to get it to where I want. Sonia gave me tips on what to do as it grows. It looks MUCH better and is even! I was pleasantly surprised with the rest of my experience. I'm impressed. read more

Nothing but good things to say about Starling! Kayla slayed my hair and I can't wait to go back to her! Thanks for everything!

I have a thick, coarse head of hair that stylists at other salons have struggled to work with. Amber always ensures that I get an amazing, sharp cut. Not only do I get a great cut but Amber is a rad woman so we have a great time. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my hair. In fact, the entire staff a Starling are great people. Sonia, Brianne, Hallie and Ramón always make me feel welcome. read more

This is truly a hidden gem. Make no mistake, the team in this Aveda salon is great. First time here with Scott as my stylist. Great cut. I'll be back!! read more

Great little salon tucked behind Winchells donuts on Sobo. In fact, you can even park in the Winchell donut parking lot - just look for the correct signs! I was able to get in for highlights in an emergency before a trip. I was welcomed warmly and offered a drink by the reception staff. Nice touch. My highlights were done very professionally and neatly. My only comment would be I have a couple of dark spots in my hair that I would've liked a few more brighter highlights that I might call back about. Regardless, I am very pleased with the salon the highlights and yes! It is Aveda and an incredibly cute venue! The only weird factor is that they played metal, like Metallica from the 90s, in the store which was not at all relaxing or inducive to a salon experience. That was just weird and slightly unpleasant. read more

Great care and great service. Sara did a great job. Highly recommend.

Kate and the staff at Starling Salon are the best! The front desk staff are kind and courteous, the facility is clean and beautiful, and Kate is talented, pays attention to detail, and just a joy to be around! read more

Everything was great Megan and hallie. Both are amazing women who have such a beautiful talent in the hair industry. They make one look and feel amazing! Thanks for the beautiful work ladies! read more

Sarah is great and so easy to talk to. As someone who had an idea of what I wanted but needed some guidance, she was able to help me understand the process, make suggestions, and was always sure to check in with me to make sure I was getting what I wanted. The salon itself is classy yet modern. I felt welcome and comfortable with everyone there. My search for a great salon is over! read more

I'm grew up on military bases so I'm pretty accustomed to barber shops; 6 minutes, medium regulation fade, on-your-way type haircut. This was my first experience in a high end salon and I have to tell ya, it's like going from driving a Yugo to driving a Mercedes Benz. More expensive? Yes. Worth it? Far and away. I will never go anywhere else. My stylist (not a barber, there's a difference), Ramón, is a master of his trade. I would recommend him to anyone from a church lady to a military general. I was very pleased with the outcome of my haircut when I left, and even more so after I got great feedback from my friends and coworkers. I wish my hair could grow faster so I could get it cut more often. Great job salon! Great job Ramón! read more

I love Starling Salon. I've been going there for upwards of four years now and have found a place where I can both experiment with my hair and feel confident that I'll get something I love. Amber is wonderful and works magic with my super thick, coarse hair. It's always a delight to come in. :) read more

Ramon ruined my hair days before my wedding! He dyed my hair almost black when it was meant to be a nice med brown, he said it was the same color that he always used on me but it processed for 2 hours on my hair. And now my hair is damaged from having to get someone else to highlight it and tone it. Not the kind of stress I needed before my wedding. Brianne however did my wedding day hair hair style and she did a fantastic braid, so thankful! read more

first time visiting starling salon today - had the best appointment with sarah k!! so glad i was referred to her. hadn't had a good haircut in years...went in feeling like i had stringy witch hair (lol) and came out feeling super glam! she transformed my hair! thanks so much sarah!! ps - the salon was super trendy and clean and being super safe as far as the virus is concerned! social distancing, masks required, hand sanitizer upon entry. i'm pregnant and felt at ease about being there! read more

Everyone who works here is very professional! They all do a wonderful job. Hallie is my regular stylist but Brianne did a great job in her absence and under very tight time constraints. read more

I had a lovely experience, Sarah was so knowledgeable and caring! My hair was so soft and healthy after my haircut, I can't wait to come again soon! read more

I love Starling Salon! I went here for the first time a few months ago after moving from California and needing a new salon. The salon itself is clean, offers a variety of Aveda products, and the staff is extremely nice, sincere, and helpful. Amber N. was my stylist and I can honestly say that she gives one great haircut. I have a short bob and don't trust many with my hair, but I am totally at ease when she has the scissors in her hands. She takes her time to look at the growth patterns of your hair (for those of you with multiple weird ones like myself) and cuts your hair to minimize and hide those imperfections. She also leaves herself enough time to finish your haircut and not make you leave the salon with a head full of wet hair. Thank you Amber!!! read more

If I could give a '0' rating I would. I had a bad experience with the owner, Sonja. She does NOT care about her business or clients. She spends more time trying to make money and map out her schedule than she does on her client's hair. Horrible. read more

First visit and will definitely not be my last. Ramon made me feel right at home. He took so much time and made sure I was happy with the results. All the staff seemed so friendly yet professional! I was a walk in but, definitely have become a client! read more

Just moved to the area and had to find a new hair stylist after going to the same place for over 15 years, so I was a bit nervous. This salon is really nice. Emily did my hair and did a fantastic job! She was really friendly and had some great ideas for the cut and color, especially considering I gave her practically no ideas for what I wanted. I was super happy with the color she did and even liked it better then the way my former stylist used to do it. The cut turned out better then I expected as well. Will definitely be frequenting this salon from now on! read more

I love this place!!!!! My stylist Ramon Corro has absolutely done wonders for my hair for almost 3 years... He's absolutely amazing!

Fabulous place! Stylists and service can't be beat. Jonelle does my hair regularly, though I have been in the talented hands of Sonia, Brianne, Amber, Hallie and Ramon. This salon is absolutely the best in town, hands down. read more

I love this salon. It's adorable. I recently moved to Denver and needed a place for my hair. I use Emily who is sweet and does an amazing job! It felt like home the second I walked in. The prices are very fair and everyone is very talented. read more

This is the top salon in Denver, hands-down. The staff is incredibly welcoming, friendly + knowledgeable. The location is perfect, just off South Broadway, with ample parking along the street. I love the interior ambiance + décor and am so happy to have found a salon with such a great staff. read more

I went to Starling Salon for the first time last month and love it. It is such a cute salon and everyone there is really nice. It is also a bonus that this salon is an Aveda Salon. I got my hair cut by Hallie and would recommend her to anyone. She knows what styles are in, and like to have fun with your hair. I trust her 100% with mine. read more

I miss janelle!!!! The other's are great, but my hair just wasnt the same perfection as when janelle was finished. Ramon did it last time and i wasnt happy and even took sciccors to it when i got home. I wanted highlights and layers and I got a root touch up and bangs. Unfortunately, I will be looking for a new stylist/salon unless janelle magically returns:( read more

I am super particular about my hair and recently moved here. Emily did a fantastic job on my highlights and cut. I can finally rest assure that I have found my Denver hair stylist! read more

I had Amber do a haircut and style and let me tell you.. She did a phenomenal job! I just randomly found the salon on yelp and got linked up with her, so glad that I did. My hair is wavy and long, can be frizzy.. I told her about my concerns and goals for my hair and she produced. She was knowledgeable and super nice and friendly. I am definitely coming back to her. Many hairstylists in the past didn't do my hair quite right but she has experience with a great personality. read more

My stylist just moved to this Aveda location. Love, love, love! Great vibe and excellent customer service.

I've been going to Sonia for 16 years now and love what she can do with my hair! Her entire staff is wonderful to work with. Love coming in!

I have been coming here for over a year now, and I absolutely LOVE this place! I go to see Shama, and she does such an amazing job every time I'm there. She is truly talented and always pulls off the perfect haircut! I also love that this is an Aveda salon. It's super clean, and all the Aveda products smell so fresh. I'm always so happy whenever I go here! read more

Honestly the best salon ever!! Everyone that works here is so kind and accepting! All of the stylists are so talented as well!!

I hate salons and I've never been to one twice.... its not a commitment thing because I'm happily married. I just hate salons and all the fru fru nonsense that comes with them (in my experience). I stumbled into Starling because it is close to my house and was very pleasantly surprised. The vibe of this place is laid back and fun and I've gone TWICE now to Brianne and she is just great. I'm working up to doing something a bit more drastic to my locks on my THIRD visit in the next few months. You should check this place out, I bet you wont be disappointed! read more

Please go to see Aja! She is such a beautiful person and is so gifted at her art. She is warm and intuitive to what your needs are. My latest experiences with other stylists have been either great color, not so great cut, or vice versa. I also needed something low maintenance because of my toddler and early am work schedule. I felt like such a muddled frump of a working mom that was in a state of pure exhaustion. Her cut and color is the best I've had in a decade and I feel like myself again. She's wonderful and I'm so happy to have found her and Starling Salon. I went there on a gut instinct and I'm so glad I made some time for myself. If you need an uplift from the day to day rat race of motherhood, career and everything: please go and pick yourself up read more

What an amazing salon!! I have been to many Aveda salons around the city and have never felt more comfortable than I did at Starling Salon. From the friendly receptionists who remembered my name and made sure I knew where things were (bathrooms, coat rack, etc.) to the positive energy that permeates throughout the entire space between the cozy decor and the bright sunlight coming in through the floor to ceiling windows. Not to mention the myriad of talented stylists who make the experience feel like you are visiting friends or family. I would recommend this salon to anyone who is looking for a great place to feel good about yourself, look fabulous when you walk out the door, and find an excuse to return again and again! read more

I just had my first appointment at the salon. Emily cut and colored my hair and it turned out awesome! Everyone is super friendly at the salon and it is decorated really cute. I will definitely be back! read more

I saw Ana today for the first time and she was amazing! I'm super obsessed with my haircut she gave me. She was super fun to talk to and very talented. I will absolutely be referring my friends to her and I will definitely be back. Thanks Ana!! read more

I've been coming here since it opened, and the place is amazing. Great customer service and feel. Hallie is the best I've ever gone to. If you're in need of a good haircut that is current and fresh, you got to visit Hallie. read more

I am very picky about my hair and usually leave unsatisfied. Not here. I shaved my head in December and had an appointment with Amber today. I wanted to do kind of an edgy fohawk thing with designs in the side. When I told Amber what I was looking for she was straight up HONEST with me and told me barbering designs weren't really her thing and she didn't want to charge me for some thing half assed. I know, a hair dresser who is honest when they don't know how to do something instead of just trying anyways and messing it up. Wow. She told me there was a girl who works with her who is awesome at that stuff but she was out of town. I decided to wait and just get a basic fohawk cut from Amber since I was already there. Short pretty/professional looks are more her style but my hair still looks good and I left feeling satisfied. I made an appointment to get it made a little edgier with Hallie in a couple weeks. Amber was super nice, honest, and did a good job even though I asked for something she didn't do as often. I would definitely recommend her to anyone, especially those with short hair who want something cute or professional. The salon was also very clean and nice looking. read more

Ramon has been doing my hair for a while now and I love him. I grew out my hair to donate but had no one in the Denver area I trusted to give me a good cut. My now husband had been going to Ramon and had only great things to say so I gave it a chance. I have always had long hair but I thought I needed more style once I turned 30, but didn't want an unflattering cut or something that made me look older. Ramon did an amazing job! My hair was so full of volume and was sooo easy to take care of. He also did my hair for my wedding, which I grew out a little to get the Updo I wanted, but continued to trim and keep healthy. My hair stayed in place the whole day and night and was gorgeous. Both my mother and my mother in law also got their hair done by Ramon and they felt like beauty queens! It was so nice to see them be so happy about the way they looked as neither are used to pampering. Both of them wanted to take him home with them! My whole wedding party, many of whom are picky, also got their hair done by other stylists at Starling and all were so happy. They did a great job of making sure no one had a similar style that I had as well. I noticed another person did not have as good of an experience with their wedding, however I would strongly caution any bride to not do a drastic change days before the wedding. Typically you should wait a little while before trying to fix a dye job so you should give it at least a month. Also, thats why brides should do trials. That advice aside, I love starling and will be seeing Ramon again soon to once again give me a great short hairstyle that frames my face. read more

Sonia is amazing!!! I wish I could give 6 stars. The salon is very cute and all the people are super nice. Which is not always common at a salon. Sonia did such a good job on my hair that I will be leaving my girl of 7 years. read more
