If you are in need of a new hair salon, consider Bad Kittie! Lora is a wonderful professional that has been at it for decades. She has been consistent with her services and always friendly. I appreciate her work to help cover my roots. The grey hairs I have are stubborn and Lora works her magic to help cover them. Her shop has a lot of neat items and would be a great spot if you need to shop for gifts or treat yourself to something fun. Due to the ongoing construction along east colfax, the parking can be tricky, but there are spots nearby. Be sure you know how to parallel park! read more

I left with the back uneven, on top of this the haircut looked nothing like the he picture.

Lora Powers is a baddie with a beautiful presence...she did a wonderful job on my hair I love it! I would pay to just hang with her and vibe out. She was great to everyone who came in and whether it was a client or a passenger you felt welcome and wanted. She knows what's up I will definitely be back! read more

I went in for a vintage hair style for a 1940s ball. I was booked with the owner. I showed a photo of a style with victory rolls in the front and a chignon side bun. She told me the style was doable. She was struggling to get my victory rolls to work and we went over the allotted time. I ended up with all my hair pinned up to the top of my head and victory rolls that were completely flat against my head. I wanted to cry when she spun me around to show me. I still paid and tipped, but wish I had just done my hair myself. I ended up going home and taking my hair down to a half up style because it looked terrible all pinned to the top of my head and was NOTHING like the photo I showed. *I posted this review on google and the owner responded and blatantly lied saying she told me ahead of time I did not have the appropriate texture of hair for that style. She never once said that to me. She told me she could do something very similar to the style I showed her. I told her while she was doing my hair that in the past someone had struggled to get volume into my hair. She said she could make it work. The fact it was all pinned to my head instead of in a chignon would have nothing to do with my hair texture anyway. Her employee used mesh pieces on my friend's hair to get the victory rolls to work. I'm very upset the owner would blatantly lie in her response to me. read more

Got exactly what I wanted as a first time client and really enjoyed myself. The vibe of the place is like a magical second hand shop from an early 2000s movie, which is impeccable. Prices are also super reasonable and I loved my hair!! read more

Kari gave me the best hair cut I have had in 3 years. It can be such a journey to find a good hair stylist, particularly for extra thick, wavy hair, and she did an amazing job! I'll definitely be back & totally recommend. read more

The building used to be a house, it has character. I really loved the decor and space. Unfortunately, that is where the positive experience ends. I was quoted $60 when I made the appointment, however, I was charged $75 when it was complete. I did mention it was an updo for the 1940s ball. I did not have a hair style in mind because I am not the expert and wasn't sure what would work for my hair type. The salon had no books, pictures, or suggestions to help someone decide. Maybe I am wrong, but i thought that is a big part of a salon to provide ideas, help, and expert opinions as to what would work/look best. Maybe my expectations were too high, but I was disappointed with the fact that my hair stylist, as well as the one in front of me working on another client both, lacked vintage hair experience. This was made clear by the need for my stylist to "go ask the expert" at least 3 times while I was there. It felt like the hair stylist not only didn't know much about vintage, but also didn't know much about how to handle baby fine hair. She teased my hair a LOT which required 3 wishes and a lot of gentle brushing to get out the rats nest she left on the top of my head. The next night, there was no teasing at all and yet my hair looked better. This was the first time paying to have my hair done and I was left feeling disappointed, underwhelmed and broke. The other client, found me at the ball. Sounded like she was disappointed as well. I was very frustrated to learn that she paid the same amount and yet she was in the chair for twice as long. Her thick hair vs my super thin hair, did not take anywhere near the same amount if time to put up. My recommendation for you is to make sure you are quoted the right amount, ask the experience level of the hair stylist they assign you, and come into the salon knowing what you want including your own pictures. read more

This place is incredible! I could not be happier with my hair! From the second I walked in, I felt right at home. It's so warm and unique. The women here are REAL. There's no fake, snooty salon vibe like a lot of places these days. I felt like I was chatting with friends, and it was just comfortable and peaceful. And my hair!!! It is exactly what I wanted. I'm really self-conscious about my hair and the stylist worked with me, listen to me, and didn't make me feel rushed in anyway. I'm over the moon! Highly recommended! read more

Listen. I have been going to a lot of different places trying to get that perfect pixie cut. Salons will either flat-out tell me "no," or give me something very...uh... more akin to the "let me speak to the manager" kind of cut. This is the first time that I really felt like the stylist understood what I was asking for, and the results were amazing!! I am so incredibly happy with my haircut! It really feels like me! I will definitely be coming back for touch-ups and pixie cut maintenance. If you've been looking for the best place to get that short-short haircut: THIS IS YOUR SIGN. read more

The Bad Kitty is the go to place for anyone looking for the perfect cut and color. I have become a devotee of Lora the owner, who is not only an amazing colorist, but she gives the most bad ass cuts for short hair. The vibe of the salon is one of tranquility, acceptance and good energy. The products sold are the best in the industry and sure to help keep your color and cut looking fresh. As a Sixty-something, it's an amazing feeling to walk out of the Bad Kitty feeling like a bad-ass. Make an appointment...you will not be disappointed and will hold other salons to this standard of excellence! read more

I just move to Colorado and was looking for a new hair stylist. I was matched up with Abigayle and I couldn't be happier. She was fun to work with and matched my hair really close to the sample image I brought. The salon is not like your typical salon which I love! It kinda seems like a combo of salon and thrift store with all the cool jewelry and items you can buy. read more

after living in Denver for two years i figured it was time to find a stylist closer than Texas lol. i picked Bad Kittie bc i'd been in to buy product before, the owner (Lora) was helpful and friendly, i really liked the vibe of the salon, and the reviews overall looked good. i hadn't had a cut in almost 8 months! the climate here combined with my 'new' hair color (i.e. gray ) had made my hair pretty consistently dry and frizzy/flyaway (i mean i never dreamed i'd have to put oil IN my hair!) i showed Lora pictures of my previous style as well as a bit of a new look with bangs... and not gonna lie, she pretty much nailed it! i even sent pics to my old stylist in Austin today and he gave a big Lora was also very easy to talk to about some potential color/extensions i'm mulling over for an upcoming trip. all in all a very successful visit and happy (new) customer. i will be back! p.s. she also raved about my natural color DESPITE all the gray that she made me feel great, so that's a plus read more

I love everything about this little place: it's got a chill vibe, and the stylists are lovely. I have really curly hair. A few months ago, I cheated on Bad Kittie and tried a specialty salon to see if it was worth the money. While they were very nice, and my hair looked good, they didn't really listen to what I asked for and instead gave me a standard curly cut. So back I went to Abigayle and just got a fantastic cut. She also gives great advice on caring for and styling curly hair. Plus, she's sweet! Definitely recommend this place. read more

So happy with my experiences so far at Bad Kittie. The ladies here all make you feel warm and welcome. From making my appointments, to being greeted when I walk in, to the whole color/cut process, to check out. It's all enjoyable. I think their prices are totally fair. Sy has done my hair both times now. She's adorable and funny and sweet, easy to talk to, super cool (I want to be her), and listens to me while giving fair advice. I decided to go super platinum and Sy walked me through what to expect. She took really great care of me and my hair, I have zero complaints! They'll offer you wine, beer, a soda, water... They had pizza in for lunch and offered me some of that as well. Such a great atmosphere; casual and you feel like you're with friends. I'll definitely be a repeat customer (especially now that I gotta get my roots done every 5 weeks). :) read more

On a whim, I booked an appointment at the Bad Kittie Salon with Miro. I am nothing but overjoyed with the eccentric salon..but more with the fabulous, kind and compassionate stylist, Miro. Miro took the time, cared about my hair needs, gave me the cut and color that I truly needed and wanted. Thank you for the amazing highlights and cut. But, thank you for being a kind and wonderful human. Kudos, to Miro and Bad Kittie. You are a gem and have gained my new loyalty. read more

Hands down the worst experience I've ever had while getting my hair done. It was also my first time leaving a salon in tears. After having my son a few weeks ago, I decided to treat myself to a relaxing salon experience. Given all the positive reviews for Bad Kittie, I thought I would have a great experience here. William did my hair on May 17. I asked for vibrant copper red with blonde money pieces. However I got muted brown with blonde money pieces. He yelled at me for sitting with my legs crossed, which has never happened before. While my money pieces were being bleached, my scalp started burning. He got defensive when I said something "It's just your scalp. I've been doing this for years." While my color was processing, he continuously ripped the brush through my tangled hair (from the dye). He smelled of cigarettes the entire appointment. Huffed the entire time he was doing my hair and made me feel like a burden. At the end of the appointment he said "You just have bad hair." The other stylist Piper that was working seemed absolutely lovely. Sadly I will not be returning however. I was so excited to try Bad Kittie, but ultimately I ended up leaving disappointed. Over the weekend I went to another salon in Denver. The experience was peaceful, I didn't feel like a burden and my hair color was fixed. read more

Had the worst experience in my life. Lora is very rude! I had a highlights and haircut appointment with Lora, as I was going over the history of my hair, and might have misunderstood the question from the hairdresser, I got accused of being a liar and being rude. I was in shock! I had to leave right away ( I would not trust a person who called me a liar to work on my hair). I hope no one else gets this horrible treatment at this place. Lora is very rude! read more

Ok so after a year, I'm here again. I had said before that I will never go anywhere else ever again and oh my god it's truer now than ever. This is hands-down my favorite hair I've ever had. I had been feeling really ugly and gross lately. I decided on a whim to just change absolutely everything- new clothes, new piercings, and finally, new hair. I picked Piper since I had read about her abilities with unnatural color and I swear she is my hair fairy-godmother/angel on earth. She stayed past closing time after spending 4 HOURS working on me/saving me from my awful before picture. Honestly this is worth every penny and more- I can't tell you how priceless it is to be given self-confidence. It's like I was living in a filthy pit and have been delivered to the fucking unicorn heavens. I mean look at me. I'm fucking adorable and YOU CAN BE TOO! Go see Piper and become a beautiful unicorn, because you fucking deserve it! read more

I feel bad for leaving a poor review especially since I was really looking for a new place to call home for my hair. I called and spoke with William and booked an appt with him. I showed him a few photos of what I wanted/had in the past. He insisted that he'd do the hair I showed him, but with his own twist to it and that I'd like it. He was so confident that it made me feel at ease initially. After I got home, I took a careful look at the layers underneath where I noticed spotted layers of light orange, and the front money piece was very much pink. In summary, it was not what I wanted. I called back and was told that he would fix it. I came back a second time with high hopes and a positive attitude that it would work out this time. I showed William the photos again that I had before and tried to over communicate with him what I wanted. After showing William the pictures I had showed him previously - I was first met with a little resistance, he claimed I wasn't showing him the same photos that I did before (I have a specific album comprised of photos of how I've colored my hair with the same red bayalage I've done for almost a decade - I don't stray from it) but after showing him enough photos it seemed to have jogged his memory and he fell silent. He seemed eager to make it right which I REALLY appreciated(which is why I tipped him again at the end of our appointment for the 'correction'), however I do feel there was still a miss in communication or perhaps, just a lack of know how on what I wanted done. From the pictures posted here, you can see what I wanted was far from what I got. In the photos is the second attempt was still blotchy and unevenly streaked work. In addition, even though I'm not tender headed, William was really rough on my hair while brushing it while wet. He hurt my scalp too and even worse, I feared my fragile ends took a beating. He brought it up himself that he works on hair like he works on cars, a rough hand indeed. :( I will say that he did ask me if it hurt, and at first, it didn't and I told him I wasn't tender headed. I felt like maybe that gave the false green light to brush harder or not to worry about being gentle. With that said, I feel like any professional stylist would maintain a gentle, easy hand with any/all clients regardless of how tender headed or not they were. I would like to say that I'm sure this salon has many great stylists and that William is talented at many other styles and cuts, but it just wasn't the right fit for what I wanted as a client. read more

The eclectic atmosphere of local artisans decorates the entire shop. I arrived early for my appointment and am glad I did! There were so many beautiful things to absorb and adore. I showed Piper a few images of what I wanted to do with my hair. With a short discussion, she knew exactly what I wanted and didn't fail to deliver. The staff were all friendly. I came in wanting something that could look professional yet edgy and got more than I could ever have imagined. I can't wait to show off my new doo. read more

This salon is amazing! Previously I lived only a few blocks away from the salon. I've since moved to the burbs but this place is so worth the drive. I LOVE my appointments with Kari. She listens to my thoughts on what I want and then gives me her input, which I alway take cause the girl knows what she's talking about. She is easy-going and sooooo funny. We have the best conversations while she works on my hair and I walk away with exactly what I wanted. She's a total badass. The salon atmosphere is so funky and fun. Lora, the owner, is hilarious and I've seen some of her finished work. She does a damn good job, too. Her chair is right next to Kari's and OMG, those two crack me up. I'm a pretty picky customer and I bounced around to so many salons until I found this one and I feel so lucky that I did find it. They use Moroccanoil products and they also sell them there. BUT it's not like at other salons where they try to push you to buy the product. I did just buy my first Moroccanoil texturizing spray and I love it. Anyway, if you're looking for a unique salon with seriously talented artists, this is the place :) read more

Was in town visiting friends in early November. When I remarked on their excellent haircuts, they called and Lora had an unexpected vacancy. Now, I am deeply sad! I must now report that I cannot find a stylist in my hometown who can cut hair anywhere nearly as excellently as Lora did mine. I joked to my friends that I was going to need to drive the 8 hours to visit them now every 6-8 weeks; I wish I were able to do that. This is, in my 71 years, the best haircut I have ever had. It was exactly what I wanted, but more than that the style holds for days after I wash it, with just a brush to run through my hair. If you don't have a salon that satisfies you, run, run, run to your phone and make an appointment at Bad Kittie. The next time I visit my friends, I'll call weeks in advance to ensure that I can combine a haircut with my visit! Elizabeth M. read more

I became warm inside just by being greeted through the front door. My first impression climbing a couple of stairs to Kat's chair was that this is a place of divine artistic ability. Throughout, it embodies a fine balance of eclectic and eccentric and bold commitment to their craft -- art is hung on their walls, etched on their skin, radiating from their own hair, and shines through these ladies's souls. Kat exemplifies the essence of this artistic discipline. She is so talented, and gently let's you know what is in her repertoire (and what styles simply are not hers). Far from modest, meek, or cowering, she braves style others could only hope to see in a magazine. If you want a cheap cut, fast, and similar to that of your neighbor who you've been copying for years, then do not see Kat. If you want to watch a top Denver artist sculpt someone who you didn't know was hiding behind your smile, sit back and bask in someone letting their God-given craft flow. read more

I really dislike leaving bad reviews, but I'm hoping this will save someone in the near future from having the experience I did. I'd been to this salon before and had a good experience so came back to get a partial highlight. I thought it would range from $70-120, but apparently it's more. Tonya was my stylist, and boy either she was having a day or she's just tired of doing hair. She wasn't friendly at all and didn't ask me anything, really. When I showed her what I wanted, she basically said I'd have to get the entire full highlight ($250) to have my hair come out that color. I was confused, but she agreed to make it look more "platinum" and less brassy which is what I wanted. I didn't come out the color I wanted at all, and on top of that she said I needed to "up my game" because my hair was damaged. I thought maybe it was the lighting and when I got home but realized I'd paid $175 for a partial highlight that I didn't like at all. I tried calling and left a message with the salon and no one ever returned my call. I am updating this review as I am blown away at the service I received after leaving this. I know it's not easy running a business, and I salute the owner Laura for fixing this issue. Kat completely gave my hair a makeover (complimentary) and I am more than ecstatic to say it turned out the way I wanted in the first place. It's stunning, and Kat took her time with me and my hair and she deserves serious compliments for being amazing! Thank you to the Bad Kittie Salon for reaching back out and proving you care about your clients. If you're a blonde, be sure to ask for Kat! read more

Saw this and had my gf go and check it out. She loved her results and I was impressed as well. Would highly recommend.

Another salon added to my list of "friend in the salon business." My visit changed my life! Kat, Jordan and their other women all made my experience like a sweet hangout and even made my mermaid red hair color a reality. It was also incredibly affordable and very addictive to go back. We laughed, talked, connected all while I was offered a variety of different drinks which made a difference in my experience. It eased my anxiety because I had a mellow drink and especially for being there for 7 hours. But I didn't dread it. I fell in love. I first wanted a light brown, but Kat made everything a success by suggesting something edgy and rebellious and gave me Ariel colored hair from the Little Mermaid-- granted I agreed I wanted this hair color before proceeding. The best part was seeing my hair come to life at the end. These ladies will listen to what you want, but be realistic! That's the key in life. Especially with hair. I love my new edgy, punky, and stylish red hair!!! read more

This is a salon in my neighborhood and I'm all for supporting small business owners. Thought I would give this a try. I must have gotten the new guy (he had many openings) who they assured me was top notch. Well not even beginner... I went in for a root touch up for my dark blonde hair. Left with pinkish orange roots!!! Trim was skewed. There was nothing good about the experience except that I was warmly greeted right away from the desk staff. Based on the other reviews, this guy must have been an outlier. My experience was so bad that I will never go back. Maybe you will have a more positive experience. read more

After reviewing many of the yelp and google reviews and making a phone call to the salon and the friendly short conversation about looking for a blonde specialist I made an appointment with Piper. My stylist from Chicago and I worked together to find someone specializing in Blonde in the Denver close to Lodo area, my stylist happened to find Piper and bad kittie salon colorist IG photos, I decided to book with Piper. It was very easy getting in within a week of my call. Coming from Chicago pricing is exact same so I wasnt price shocked at all. I only had my color lifted aka highlights no cut this time because Im growing out my hair but next time will add the cut to my touch up. I arrived ten mins prior to my appt. I also went very dark in October and we could only lift my hair once before i left without damaging it so I was putting all my hopes and hair dreams into the hands of Piper. I showed her the exact picture of what I wanted my hair to get back to and she did a amazing job. It really took everything not to hug her and cry because I was so grateful to not have a hair nightmare after moving and switching to someone new. I am very happy with the results and would recommend Piper if your looking for a blonde specialist in Denver. I just want to add a note I moved from the downtown area of Chicago and is hair not cheap in city of Chicago. I feel Denver cost of living is same here so for me the cost isnt any different. All the ladies in the salon are very nice. And other clients and stylist could carry a conversation if you wanted too. Everyone makes you feel welcomed it is a boutique salon very eclectic which I personally love makes you feel at ease not stuffy. The products they use also smell great. Looking forward to returning. read more
