    My hair:)
    Amy C.

    Absolutely love Jeffrey !!!! Been going there for over 9 years . My hair has never been more healthy .

    This plus 8 inches grown to my hips at beginning of cut.

    I am SUPER UPSET AND MORE after looking forward to a haircut for which I grew my hair over 12 years. This morning, my hair was 34 inches long, down to my hips, grown to get the long layered cut I have always wanted. I read Strands for Hair website including their notations of on-going training, coupled with great reviews on other websites. While I don't expect perfection during training, I don't expect a hack job that reduced my hair from 34 inches to a 14 inch mop top that makes me look much older and fatter than when I walked in the salon. I informed the scheduler of the length of my hair when I made an appointment for a long layered hair cut to enable the hair dresser to allow enough time to cut it properly, yet the hairdresser was not aware until I sat in her chair. I immediately showed the hairdresser, Mackenzie, a couple of pictures of what I wanted. I explained to Mackenzie and her trainer Jeffrey, this is my last chance to wear long hair, given my age, and wanted to enjoy it, before I have to get a short, mature haircut. I specifically stated I DO NOT want the plain, straight, flat hair I have worn much of my life. Jeffrey stayed close while repeatedly requesting a donation of my locks. They will accept any type of hair for "Wigs for Kids." I donated 8 inches, after which Jeffery was immediately far less involved. Mackenzie never said anything about not intending to produce the cut I requested from a photograph, and she knowingly left me expecting. Mackenzie then proceeded to give me the exact cut I had described -- emphatically stating I did not want. Mackenzie was to cut my hair to a length near my elbow. Unfortunately, my hair was cut to my shoulders in a mostly straight cut that makes middle aged women look older and everyone look fatter in the face. My hair is now only 14 inches long, straight across the back / looking like a mop head, and too short to get even a slight version of what I requested and believed I would receive this morning. When pulled up into a bun thick strands of hair poke out a couple of inches all over the bun. All along, I discussed interviewing for high level finance jobs, while unemployed. Now I will need to dedicate more time to styling my hair and wear clips as when I was a child, to prepare for job interviews because Mackenzie knowingly deceived me. It is night and I still really HATE the too short, plain, flat, unflattering, FAT ENHANCING" cut I received. Of course, I wasn't able to see Mackenzie's cuts as she hacked my hair. I was told and written on the mirror is that I would get a LONG layered cut, which is in the title of the two photographs I had shown Mackenzie. While my mop top is layered, the layers are ALL at the end of the straight - straight across my back and straight hanging haircut. Mackenzie planned to make this cut knowing it was nothing close to what I was expecting from the 2 pictures I had showed her when I sat in her chair, at the cost of many years growth. Both pictures have v-shaped cuts, but yet I was left with a mop head. My hair is now too short, to attempt to get a little of what I requested and expected, at a different hair salon. I can clip the sides looking as if I'm trying to be a child when I don't need to look down which is barely ever, and make a 1950s Barbie Doll pony tail to keep the mop out of my face. I hope Barbie's 1950s ponytail passes for middle aged womens style now that it's 2020. By the time my hair is long enough to get a short version of the look I wanted, it is likely to be grey, wiry, nasty, and course on top. In addition, a major high school class reunion will have passed with this look that I hate and don't know how to improve without a pixie cut as cold weather sets in. NO ONE APPRECIATES BEING DECEIVED FOR EXPLOITATION, OR WANTS TO LOOK OLDER AND FATTER!!!!! The senior hairdressers who I expected to prevent such a hack job, Jeffrey and Lisa, intervened but way too late. I am super upset with your decision Mackenzie to selfishly deceive me. I am posting your review in public, because you were so cold as to deceive me, followed by your cavalier dismissal of your gross misconduct with your audacious response to Jeffrey, and never apologizing to me. It will be years before I can get the cut for which I had grown my hair out and ALWAYS wanted. By then the top will likely be gray, course... Mackenzie, either get honest with the clients and humble yourself when you make mistakes, delivering what they expect, and accepting them going elsewhere after you state you will provide a different cut, -- or find a new career. You'll never recover from deceiving clients - especially when you leave it too short to get it re-cut into something they can enjoy. Your shop is in a most affluent city near top Universities, so you can expect your clientele to be able to explicitly express themselves well on Social Media.

    Got my 4-year-old a haircut and it came out great! I called ahead of time to see if they could take…read morewalk-ins, and they did. I usually cut my son's hair but we had grown a mullet and I didn't want to mess it up, especially since my son has really dark, stubborn Asian hair - it'd be easy to find the imperfections. The lady who cut his hair was fast (took probably 20 min total). She knew exactly what kind of cut I wanted (2 block hair cut). And because his hair was so long in the back, she double checked before cutting that I wanted to cut it off (much appreciated!). My son's hair was short on the top so she didn't cit length but did blend it (see pics). The place itself was clean and spacious. The cut itself was $45 without a wash, which is a couple dollars cheaper than other places I was looking up. I'd come here again.

    Before the haircut, I clearly explained that I had just gotten my hair cut at another salon two…read moredays earlier and that I wasn't looking for a completely new haircut--I only wanted some adjustments to achieve the style shown in the photos of me before. I specifically asked if the stylist understood the issue and knew what needed to be done, and I was assured that they did. Unfortunately, once the haircut started, there was no communication about how much hair would be removed. The very first cut on the sides was much shorter than I expected, and at that point there was no way to undo it. If the stylist had explained their approach or confirmed the length with me first, I would have had the opportunity to say that it wasn't what I wanted. What disappointed me most wasn't just the final result--it was the lack of communication. When a customer brings reference photos and asks questions beforehand, I expect the stylist to explain the plan and make sure we're aligned before making irreversible changes. I left feeling that my concerns and the reference photos were not really taken into account. I hope the salon can improve communication with customers in the future so others don't have the same experience.

Let me tell you that this place was the MOST I've ever paid for hair coloring and balayage in my life and I've gone to Master hair colorists at luxury salons in the bay area too. Did the prices for hair products increase with Trump too??!? Sheesh. They were nice, talked me through the right shade for the balayage according to my skin tone and then she proceeded to take out a calculator to show me the cost. I was pretty shocked to see the cost, but I already made arrangements to get my hair colored that day so I begrudgingly agreed to proceed. Maybe I should have negotiated or asked if that total included tip? My hair is medium length and layered and the ash blonde/brown came out really nice, but I am still kicking myself for paying this much. I would have expected a nice head massage, complimentary tea or something for paying this much with a balayage, but it was a professional balayage with basic service/experience.

I followed Jenny from her previous salon because I dont trust just anyone with my hair. I have even moved across the bay and still choose to come to her for everything because she is that good. Anyone who says this salon is overpriced has truly not looked around at multiple places for the same services. If you want Supercuts prices, then by all means go there. The quality of service you get from Salon Sur La Rue and the handwork delivered is worth every penny... and know that it is not on the high end of the market. Jenny truly knows how to create the haircut and color exactly how I want it every time. I used to bring pictures for inspiration, and she always takes the time to let me know what will or wont work for me. Whether it is a full highlight fresh for summer, or cutting it a bit shorter than usual and adding tons of layers she is up for the challenge. The owner Amy always greets me with her welcoming smile and checks in on me during my visits. Such a sweet and friendly atmosphere adds to the charm of this place. She has also done my hair on a few occasions when Jenny was on vacation and I was very, very happy with her highlights and haircut too. This place has skills! Thank you Amy and Jenny for taking care of us gals. As long as you take good care of us, we will keep coming back again and again. When I leave, I always end up feeling prettier than when I walked in the door. And THAT means something to me. This salon gives great hair, and I am here for it!
