I have been driving back to Austin, Texas to my hairstylist since moving to Dubuque 9 months ago…read more Kayla with River City Hair Company changed that for me! She offers the level of service I am used to in bigger cities, while honoring the cool Millwork District vibe I've come to love here. She's small town, Midwest friendly, yet big city skills and expertise. She spent over an hour learning about my hair, my lifestyle needs and made recommendations based on her understanding of my hair type. Her technical skill and attention to detail are on point and reflect her 20 years of experience. You will love the beautiful space she's created, the yummy drinks, the quality of service, and the price point. I have thin, fine hair the flips in different directions. She achieved the perfect bob pictured with an undercut and cutting while wet, then again once dry. I can't wait to go back for a more daring cut now that I found my stylist in Dubuque. 100/5 stars!

From reading the few reviews on here, I can honestly say that Dubuque doesn't really use Yelp…read more That being said, if more people did, there would be several more five star reviews! My partner and I have been going to Fringe for around 5 years, ever since moving from Chicago and failing to find a great hairstylist for the first few haircuts. Luckily we found Jen Gratz at Fringe or my partner may have never agreed to stay in Dubuque. If you are looking for a great cut and conversation while getting one, check out this salon. If you can get in with Jen, do it. But don't think you will go wrong with any choice. While I've never been offered a Biscotti, a beer or beverage has been.

I am visiting in the Dubuque area and was in desperate need of a haircut. The first salon I called…read morewas booked, but they referred me to Designworks. Fortunately, I was able to get in the same day. Penny was my stylist. I had very long, unruly hair, and wanted it about shoulder length. I showed her pics of styles I liked. Also, I asked her to do what she thought would look good. She gave me an absolutely fabulous haircut! I love it! When I move to the area, Penny will be my go-to stylist. I would give her 10 stars if I could!

I went to this hair salon to get my hair done for a wedding. The girls there are very nice and…read morefriendly. However, it was early in the morning and I kind of just wanted to "relax" and I think my hair stylist picked up on that and just styled my hair. The cost of my hair was $40 and stayed in all night. I showed the girl a Pinterest picture and she recreated it perfectly. Also, there is a little store attached to the salon. They have lots of cute, trendy clothes for affordable prices. Oh they sell jewelry as well. Many bridesmaids picked up some cute jewelry to go with their dresses. Overall, I would definitely come back! The girls give you a small town salon feel (like you can tell them your life problems and they are there to listen). Such a fun morning!

A couple weekends ago I was a bridesmaid for a friend's wedding, and the morning of, we arrived at…read moreEncore salon to receive 'fabulous' updos for the big day. To make a VERY long story short- everyone's hair ended up so disappointing that the second we left we made last minute appointments at another salon across town. My stylist was so out of shape that she had to sit in a rolling desk chair in order to do my hair. I had seen how the other updos had turned out before me, so I decided to have them style it down. She kept asking me to lean my head sideways so she could reach the top of my head (remember, shes sitting in a chair) and instead of washing my hair- she caked on hair spray and held the straightener down onto my hair for way too long. It caused so much damage to my ends that she seriously asked me if she could cut my hair...?!? No thank you! I was done by that point. I had asked her to stop and we left. Regardless of the hair, the wedding was outstanding. Although- receiving a beautiful hairstyle the first time we tried would have been great.
