I love coming to this Salon. Hannah has done my hair for a few years now and she's fantastic. I have fine, thin hair and she knows exactly how to cut it. She makes great suggestions on what to do with my hair when I need a fresh look. Hannah is the only one who has cut my hair here, but everyone who works here is so friendly. Quality people at a quality business. read more

Cute little salon in downtown for my haircuts! I come here pretty often to get my basic cuts and it's pretty consistent with the results. Hannah is especially friendly and takes good care of my short hair! Only downside is that you have to do street or garage parking. There is a parking garage right next to the salon for not bad pricing. Service is good and ambience is nice inside. Give it a try! read more

The Electric Chair - Got my hair highlighted by Ren! - Hair Salons Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Awesome haircut with Ren today ... He made me love my hair again planning on being back again. Clean salon and well priced.

I went in for a haircut with raul because my stylist canceled and received the best cut of my life. His approach is highly educational and he teaches you exactly how to achieve the look you want, what products to use, treats you to all those products, and leaves you looking great. Learned so much and extremely please with his service. Will be my go-to from now on. read more

Raul worked me in and was awesome. I don't think that there was anyone who had more knowledge about hair, cutting and styling than him. Highly recommend and I will be back as I fully trust Raul with my hair. read more

One star because there is no option for zero. it will take me a year to get back to where I was before coming in today. the place was unorganized and cluttered with layers of hair all over the ground. I had an appointment time scheduled yet I waited 20 minutes anyway so what's the point of the online scheduling. The stylist was acting jittery like they were on something illegal. Ran like a tweaked through my medium-long men's haircut and the stylist blew it. I'm going to have to find another salon to repair the damage. I had a shampoo wash first so my hair was wet, once it dried.. OMG! the final result looks like I cut my own hair in a mirror. chopped up to pieces . Never ever going back and will demand a refund + they pay for an actual salon to step in for damage control. read more

Raul was amazing. My cut is absolute perfection. He took his time and walked me through how he was cutting and why he was doing it that way. He told me all about proper hair care regimen and products, and did so in a way that felt like genuine education and not at all a sales pitch. I wear hearing aides and he was very respectful of that. He even gave me cotton balls after my wash to dry my inner ear before putting my hearing aides back in. Seriously, I can't say enough good about him and his service. I've been to this salon a few times now. Ren and Raul are simply wonderful! read more

I went to Raul to have a height and cut. I went to him before In January and he did an amazing job! See first photo below. But this time he totally destroyed my hair. He did t highlight the sides of my head near my temple so I went back to have him correct it but instead he bleached the entire front of my hair and under processed it. It was yellow with brown blotches. (See pictures below). He didn't even comb out my hair and just put product in it to curl which was a disaster. I could not get out of the salon fast enough. He did give me my money back but it has cost me now $290 to repair the damage and I'm now a dark blond. (Picture below). PLEASE DO NOT GO TO RAUL FOR HIGHLIGHTS! You will be gambling with your hair BTW - In total I was in his chair for 7 hours. read more

Today I had a truly wonderful experience with Jazmine. I had a lot of anxiety about finding a new colorist. This is now gone!! Jazmine was ready early, lovely, and kind. She listened to me, to my need both in terms of my hair, but also to my budget and did her art. Jazmine is truly gifted with her knowledge of color. She is precise and communicative which I very much appreciate and value. My hair color has never looked more beautiful and natural. I am thrilled! I would without hesitation, recommend Jazmine for all of your hair care needs. read more

I have recently moved to Boise and was looking for someone who is good with cutting women's short hair, and I was trying to transition to gray from my medium brown hair. My hair is very thick and coarse and I was hoping I would find someone who is good at working with all of that. I saw some good reviews for Raul and decided to give him a try. Raul is very professional, skilled, creative, thorough, and takes his time to communicate and find out what you are wanting. While transitioning to gray is not fun, he made this process a little more enjoyable and I feel like I have an ally. I love my new cut. read more

Super cool people, great relaxing vibe, and darn good haircuts for guys with longer hair

Raul was awesome helped me make decisions about my hair and clearly puts all his attention into your appointment. I'll definitely be back ! From what I could tell the other stylist there also seemed very knowledgeable I don't think you could go wrong! read more

The staff truly cares about giving a person the haircut they are wanting. They were fun, professional, and took the time to make sure my friend's haircut was exactly the way she wanted it. read more

Hannah did an amazing job!!! She fixed my bangs and gave me a brand new hair cut. So in love with it and would definitely recommend! read more

I used to love this place and recommended it to everyone I knew until I got a terrible haircut. But it wasn't the haircut that made me give them this bad review. I voiced my concerns to them and not once did they own up to their mistake. The real kicker: they refused to give me a refund based on a "7 day refund policy" (which no one told me about) even though I called to voice my concerns, and sent them pictures of my hair, well within a week after my haircut. There's a lot more to the story including interactions with management that were incredibly rude. My advice: go somewhere else unless you're looking to get a $70 mullet. read more

Introverts rejoice - you have a choice getting your haircut! Scarlett cut my hair a few weeks ago and for the first time ever, I was asked if I wanted my hair washed pre cut and also asked if I wanted it styled post cut. As someone who doesn't love the small talk of haircuts or the way other people style my hair, I was so happy to have that option. My haircut was so quick, super cute, and I left feeling very grateful for Scarlett taking the time to recognize my wants. She's awesome! read more

Raul Zamarripa is a miracle worker! I arrived at his salon with severely damaged hair--a result of a previous stylist's mishandling of bleach and color. My hair, which was past my shoulders, desperately needed a rescue. Raul had me show him pictures of myself with the super short hairstyle I have had in the recent past (also due to a crappy colorist) to ensure he understood my drastic change from long to short, adhering to his "no one cries in my chair" policy. The transformation was phenomenal! Not only did he expertly cut my hair, but he also revitalized my scalp and hair's health. Inspired by his skilled and gentle approach, I've decided to embrace my natural, silver hair. Walking out of Raul's salon, I felt completely rejuvenated and confident, despite my initial apprehensions about losing my long hair due to a previous stylist's errors. Raul truly excels in both skill and care. read more

Ren gave me such a sweet pixie cut with tons of texture juuuust like I requested! And they got me in same day. Love this place

Amazing. My 9 year old decided to finally let us cut her hair. She has a TON of thick unruly hair. I was able to get in with only an hours notice. Not only did Emily listen to our wants and needs..she completely detangled my girls hair before giving her the cut she wanted. My daughter was super nervous as she was pretty attached to her locks. Being as thick and curly as it was, washing and taming was becoming unbearable for us both.Emily was a saint, even gave my girl a cut little undercut. My kiddo feels like a diva. Great shop, great stylist, amazing experience. Thank you!!! read more

I made a last minute appointment . I met with Dylan. The receptionist was sweet and helpful and very friendly. Dylan listened to what I wanted to do and looked at my pictures. He asked to see pictures of myself of how I liked my hair styled. My shag turned out awesome, exactly what I was hoping to get. Thank you so much!!! read more

I've gone to Raul for a short while now, and couldn't be more pleased with the results! This previous time, I went for a cut/partial highlights, and couldn't be more happy with the results! He took his time to listen to my needs, in addition to educating me with every step of the way;). read more

I don't color my hair but I follow Hannah on Instagram and her color posts are incredible! (@HannahRussellHair) read more

The Shaw's and the majority of the stylists are great. Their previous "manager" Sabre, however, apparently has anger issues. She got frustrated with me during my last visit there as I wanted to discuss some different options for my cut. She began yanking on the the back of my hair, literally causing pain and tearing the hair out of my head, she then randomly cut a large chunk off one side of my hair. I was literally in tears when I left and naturally had to go pay someone else $100 to fix the hair. Besides obvious issues with Sabre, Ren was there and did nothing to stop nor remedy the situation. I was in shock at the entire situation and of course, will never set foot in the salon again. read more

Lindsay was the best! She helped me fix a bad haircut and made it look so good. She was so sweet and nice, definitely recommend her!

Raul is the best! He's been cutting my hair for several years now and I've been so happy with every experience. As a guy with medium length hair I didn't want to go to a generic barbershop and very happy I found Raul. He's a genius in haircutting, styling, and Aveda products. My hair has never looked this good and been this healthy. The price point is unbeatable considering the quality of experience. I couldn't recommend more. read more

Raul did a wonderful cut and color, took me from very blonde to a more natural blonde. He took the time to explain hair care and products to me. Nice ambiance in the salon, would recommend. read more

I was in town last week to tour the college with my son, and I found myself with a couple of free hours to myself Saturday morning. I have desperately been needing a haircut but salons in my state have been closed due to Covid for months. I called The Electric Chair and luckily, Lindsay was able to fit me in. All safety precautions were in place (we all wore masks), and everyone was spaced safely apart. Lindsay gave me a great cut, and whatever botanical product she used on my hair smelled amazing - the scent lasted well into the next day. I was very happy with my cut and so happy she was able to accommodate my last-minute appointment! read more

I was in Boise for work, and hadn't had time to get my hair done before I left. Let's just say I was in desperate need of a color touch up. My schedule after wasn't looking any better and I had some spare time while in Boise... so I figured what the heck, I might as well try this place out. They happened to have an opening exactly when i needed, so it seemed meant to be. I am sooooo glad for that! I was scheduled with Sydney, and she is fantastic! She really listened to what I wanted, then went forth and made it happen. She's very friendly, so even though I was there for nearly 3 hours, it was a good time. The cut is great. I had fairly short hair already, so kind of hard to make that any different, but she managed to and I love the way it came out. Very versatile cut that I can wear a couple of different ways. Color is also awesome. She did some purple streaks that came out beautiful. I had asked to be a little conservative with the purple, and now I wish I hadn't... loving it and wishing there was more! But again, she really listened to what I wanted and didn't go crazy. So now I'm back home and getting lots of compliments on my new hair. Super happy I took a chance on this place. If you're in the area, give it a try!!! read more

Went in for a cut and didn't regret it. LOVE this salon and will be back. Reasonably priced and competent staff. Highly recommend.

Hannah was great! My hair was rescued! It was a quick cut! But very nicely done! Thank you!!

Super cute salon with very friendly staff and great prices! I seriously loved this place and the fun environment they've created. Hannah did my hair and she was AMAZING! I will definitely be come back. read more

I moved to Boise a couple years ago, and found the Electric Chair after trying a couple of other places. The place has a great vibe, hip but not pretentious, with an ideal location downtown (easy garage parking). Raul cuts my hair, he's one of the best in the business and takes his craft seriously. Seems as if all the stylists are talented and busy. Highly recommend this salon! read more

Found randomly on Yelp as I am new to Boise and badly needed a cut/beard trim. Raul took time to listen to what I wanted, explained everything he was going to do and took the time to get it right. I will definitely be returning in the near future. read more

Thank you Raul, for a gorgeous job as always. If you can, book this genius hair artist.
