I am super picky when it comes to my hair because I've gotten it lightened before at other places that completely botched my hair and made it bronze. Trinh worked her magic and in about 2 hours and ONE session I got my hair to the color I wanted. I liked her technique and how she applied the color in layers and gave it depth. It came out soooo amazing. The salon was cute and stylish and Trinh herself was amazing and so fun to talk to. I definitely will be going back because I found my new hair salon!

I've been going to Passion Hair Studio since I was in high school. My stylist Chanty does ok…read morehaircuts, nothing special. Just your generic fades. At the time I loved them. Later on I would venture out to getting hair coloring services there. Mind you, I've been dying my hair since I was 12 so I know a thing or two when it comes to lifting hair. Just to make things short, Chanty will get you to the results you want, whether or not your hair is in tact at the end. My total would roughly come out to 140-160 for the coloring service and a haircut, which isn't bad compared to other salons (this will later bite me in the ass later on). The first two sessions she did a full bleach out and afterwards did a shadow root coloring technique, which she insisted on doing every time even though I would ask for something more on the balayage spectrum. Nevertheless, I still trusted her since she was after all the professional. She would put a lavender color from the mid to the ends of my hair so after a couple washes it would leave me with a silver/grey color i asked for. Even though I left the salon with a fresh color, the condition of my hair was so damaged and brittle. I had to do a lot of restoring to bring my hair back to a somewhat normal stage, which resulted in me spending more money on products. Regardless, I loved the results after tweaking the color myself and styling it. You can even see my pictures on their instagram, facebook, and yelp page (which they just took without asking but okay whatever I still look good lol). What made me stop going to PHS was the third session I had with Chanty to get my roots touched up. She proceeded to apply the bleach normally, but avoided my sides where I get my haircut. I thought to myself "Oh she'll probably apply it after my fade it's fine." lol no, she did the fade and processed to mix the color she was doing to apply after rinsing out the bleach, which means she wouldn't be bleaching my sides. I then told her why isn't she bleaching my sides and she replies she didn't know i wanted it all over she thought i wanted just the top done, which I still don't understand because I came in asking for my usual which was a full bleach out and i've never came in just for the top of my hair to be done. Fast forward, she quickly mixes together some bleach and slaps it on my sides, KEEP IN MIND, the bleach that's on the top of my head is STILL ON throughout this whole process and has been processing for about a good 2 hours already. So waiting for my sides to lift added even more time on the processing time on the top of my hair. Lord when I tell you my scalp was on FIREEEEE...I had to call her over and say yeah my scalp is burning hahahah for her to rinse it out lol. So she was busy and had another stylist that was available rinse out the bleach AND OMFG SHE WAS SO FUCKIIINGGG ROUGH ON MY ALREADY SENSITIVE SCALP, WHEN I TELL YOU WHEN SHE RINGED MY HAIR OUT AS IF IT WAS A FUCKING WET TOWEL, I felt like she was ripping out hair right out my scalp. I wish I was exaggerating. Chanty was applying the color afterwards and I was sitting in my chair completely over it, just wanting to get it done and get outta there. She rinses it out the color and sits me back in the chair. At that moment, there were multiple walk-in customers coming in for services n such, so she proceeds to ask me if it's okay if I blow dry my own hair so she can cut another guys' hair. UHHH, HUH?????? Mind you, I was a client with an appointment scheduled ahead of time, but she would rather work on customers just walking in...child anyways...I was so over it so I grabbed the blow dryer dried it as fast as I can, looking like a complete idiot doing it myself. FYI, my hair felt like a halloween costume wig, not cute. It was very over processed and DRY. Afterwards I paid and left as fast as I can, didn't even get to style my hair. I was over it. As a result of that session, I had chemical burns ALL. OVER. MY. SCALP. I kid you not. My hair was falling out and breaking off from just running my hands through my hair. That last session was in August 2019 and it's May 2020. My scalp has gotten better but still in poor condition and I have a tiny bald spot but luckily it can't be seen. My hair is falling out less as a result of my efforts to restore it back to life. Happy to say I found a stylist and new salon that is actually professional and cares about the state of my hair lol. ***TL;DR*** - You get what you pay for - A more affordable salon, but not worth it in the long run - Doesn't take in consideration the before stage of your hair prior to service. - You will leave LOOKING great, but your hair won't be FEELING great. Take this with a grain of salt, Good luck! :)

And though Yelp can't always help folks in smaller non-Yelp centric cities (#1), I'm happy to be the first reviewer to put this place on the Yelp BR map. Gentleman, this is no barbershop. Do expect however many more female patrons than males simply because it's a stylist's domain. This means it's bright all the time, phones are ringing off the hook, the place is clean, and each stylist is unique in their own way. Be sure to call ahead of time to secure an appointment and get a first time recommendation from the manager for a specialty or hair type. In regards to my own preference, my stylist of choice is Elizabeth. She's quite possibly the most talented of the bunch and a real pleasure to talk to. She took on my friend who, in spite of her awesomeness, is a tad high maintenance and won't get her hair done in any city that doesn't have a population of at least 1 million. Elizabeth was able to take her hair and put in some additional adjustments to enhance her look into something that was worthy of a fashion magazine. Asian hair is one specialty she has down, which is not the case for many salons in Baton Rouge. She has done well with me every time, there is never a complaint but certainly always a smile. __________ (#1) Yeah, I'm looking at you Baton Rouge.

Elizabeth is my primary stylist at Anne James Hair Salon. I have been going to her for many years…read more She has me coming back every time I'm in Baton Rouge because she's extremely attentive, professional, and fun to talk with. She's also got amazing hair of her own! I trust her with all of my hair needs. I have long, fine, Asian hair and I often request for a STRAIGHT trim with soft layers around the face. In additional to styled cuts, Elizabeth is quite known for formal up-dos or special occasion hair. Bring in a photo of a hair style you're interested in re-creating and she'll figure out how best to accommodate your dream look. She's done my up-dos for formals, pageants, and the holidays and I have always received compliments. If Elizabeth is not available to take your appointment, my trusted back-up stylist is Tu-Le. She's a hoot and will also take care of me the same way Elizabeth would. The salon is well kept, unpretentious, spacious, and the hair washers are also nice and professional. They carry a variety of hair products available for sale. You can also ask your stylist to test them out on you during your appointment before you purchase. Highly recommended! 5 Sunny Stars!

They make impeccable notes on your color and mix that is kept in the back, and if you have a new stylist, she will work from that and make adjustments as needed. Because of their working together, I have found the magic color that I love. I currently an styled by Emma, and she is super talented and really knows what will work best. She can decode what I am saying when I am trying to describe what I want, and it comes out better than I could imagine. As with several salons, they are always looking for the right match to work there. Currently, they have a smaller number of staff, but in the past, I've seen them have each station full and even shared. The same issue happens with front desk staff, but honestly, I am experiencing the same thing everywhere. You can leave a message or call back a little later if needed. Finding Salon Dolce Vita was a true hair-saver!
