There are a lot of factors that go into choosing (and staying with) a hair salon. After years of searching and trying and inevitable disappointment, I was happy and relieved to find Tijeras, and have been a loyal client there, now, for more than 5 years. The whole team is top shelf and I always leave there feeling like I got the best and most caring service for my hair (not to mention lookin pretty good!!) Liz and Jackie have been doing this forever, and their commitment to quality is impressive. I usually see Liz and know, not only from personal experience, but from what I see and hear from others, that aside form her precision cuts, she is masterful at color, if that's your thing. Additionally, she takes the time to understand your goals, and helps you figure out what is going to work best for you. The shop itself is lovely and comfortable, and there's even a (very mellow and sweet) resident pooch whom I look forward to greeting me whenever I go. I recommend Tijeras without reservation. read more

I have never posted a review like this but it is time to celebrate our good fortune in Albuquerque! I have been going to Tijeras Hair Company for 11 years. I have extremely hard-to-color hair with stubborn grey and have had perms, colors, a variety of cuts--you name it, I've tried it. Liz and Leslie have been my stylists. Compared with hair salons in Los Angeles, Denver, and Portland, and many international cities, where have I received the most experienced, professional, and competent service? Tijeras Salon in Albuquerque. The color has been exactly right, there have NEVER been any "windows" of grey; I continue to be completely satisfied! I like the natural products and appreciate that Tijeras supports the community. Jennifer in the front office couldn't be more gracious and nice. No wonder Tijeras has been in business for forty years. I thought it was time to move beyond "word of mouth" recommendations to all my friends and post about my own experience. I couldn't be more pleased. read more

After getting my hair cut and dyed by numerous stylists there is a reason I always find myself back at Tijeras Hair Co. They are PHENOMENAL!! I moved away almost three years ago but make the time to get my hair cut here because it's the best of the best. The reason why this salon is voted best in the city is because the staff is friendly and they take the time to give a high quality job with your own interests in mind. I recently had a hair color go wrong at a different salon, and the color treatment and transformation that Liz and Lesley provided was above and beyond what I could have ever imagined.Not only are the staff friendly and genuine but extremely talented. Everything from the atmosphere to the hair cuts is high quality and after my experiences elsewhere I would not settle for anything else. THANK YOU TIJERAS HAIR CO! read more

I've been going to Liz for my cut and highlight for over 10 years; needless to say, I think she does a great job. I have dark blonde/brown/gray hair, and she makes the highlights look very natural. She layers carefully with foils to give a graduated, blended look, not obvious streaks. She is very responsive to my changing whims about hair length, bangs length, brightness of highlights, etc. She really listens and tries to give me the look I want. And she is consistent- she doesn't cut my bangs too short one time and leave me feeling like a sheepdog the next, which other stylists have done. I went to a lot of different hair stylists before I found Liz, and she is definitely the best. Also, her salon feels upscale and welcoming, so getting your hair done is a pleasant and relaxing experience. read more

I just got my hair done by Leslie, who is one of the nicest people I have met in a long time! However, I would be giving a five star review regardless of her lovely personality because I love my hair! I got a cut and color and my hair just looks great! She listened to my concerns and what I wanted, and then patiently explained the way she colors hair and why they do it that way. (I have never attempted to color my own hair, and I have no knowledge of how coloring works, but I appreciate her trying to enlighten me). The color is great, the cut looks great whether I spend time on it or not. She also gave me some desperately needed styling tips, understanding I'm not one for spending a lot of time on my hair--and yet I want it look great. Well, I think it does! Thank you Leslie! read more

Around Thanksgiving I made the mistake of trying to cut my own hair, and it ended up looking a bit disastrous...I went to look for a salon where I could get it fixed, but didn't expect much since it was a busy time and also happened to be Black Friday. However, everyone at the salon was very kind and understanding, and they scheduled me to come back about an hour after I first walked in. During my haircut everyone remained kind and understanding, and they helped me choose a hairstyle and seemed genuinely excited to be helping me out. I ended up really liking the cut, and I think I'm going to make Tijeras Hair my regular haircut place after the great service! Special thanks to Jacqueline and Leslie! read more

Leslie at Tijeras Hair Salon always nails the look I'm going for! I have been going to Leslie since she's been at Tijeras and would highly recommend her for any of your hair or salon needs! We've done every look imaginable and every time I come out of the salon feeling like a rockstar! In the past, Leslie has dyed my extensions to a perfect match!! This spring, Leslie dyed my hair a beautiful, fun pastel pink color and I couldn't get enough of it! Most recently we did a lavender color that made me feel like a princess! Liz and the rest of the staff at Tijeras always welcome me with warm smiles! Kuddos to the staff at Tijeras for excellent customer service! read more

I just had my hair done by Leslie. I had been doing my own hair at home and was trying to get an all-over even blonde. The task was harder than I had anticipated. I went into the salon and Leslie gave me a very extensive consult to make sure we were on the same page and to go over costs. She made me aware of all of my options and left the final choice to me. My hair came out the perfect shade of blonde after months of "banding" (different shades from previous coloring) and has never felt heathier! I will definetly be going back since my hair is in the best shape it as been in years. Thank you Tijeras! read more

Needed some tlc on my hair so I came in for cut and color! I had a wedding that same week so I gave them very short notice about the color I wanted done and they were extremely flexible to fit me in before the wedding! Not to mention how well my stylist, Devin, cut my hair! I was very nervous of how short hair will look on me and Devin definitely nailed it! Liz was also super helpful in making sure my highlights were perfect. Let's just say they had all hands on deck to make sure I left happy and satisfied!!! Thank you so much to the ladies at Tijeras salon!! Now to make my future appts!! read more

Every time we go into get our hair cut, we thoroughly enjoy our time at Tijeras Hair Salon. Friendly people, relaxing, family-friendly atmosphere. The stylists are personable and honestly try to get to know their clients to be able to serve them the best they can. We have found that their cuts typically typically require some investment to maintain - not your wash and go haircuts - but they also receive a lot of positive comments when we are out and about. Also, rumor has it that they will be extending their services offered soon so as to be a more full-service salon. read more

I have been a customer of this salon for quite a while to get my hair colored and I wouldn't go anywhere else. Liz Asher really knows her stuff and everyone else there is friendly and professional and they make you feel right at home. The atmosphere is relaxing and their products are top notch. I go to a fitness center every day and have received many compliments on my hair by other women in the locker room. I highly recommend this salon to anyone looking for a new stylist needing some TLC. read more

This is the BEST SALON IN ALBUQUERQUE! The women who work here are amazing and you always feel "pampered and taken care of". Every time I have my hair done here I always get complimented on the color and style. I naturally have, thin hair and they found the right style to complement my face and to make my hair look fuller! It looks better than I ever thought it would! My mom even asked me if it was my natural color! Lol! She said it was so beautiful! read more

I have been getting my hair styled at Tijeras for almost 30 years, from lowlighting to highlighting then growing it out to my current silver hair. I never look like I just got a haircut or that I am growing it out. They always make me feel great about how I look, because they create hair styles to fit my life style. I wish I had an excuse to go every week! read more

They've done it again!!! This salon always leaves me feeling like a rockstar. New fall cut/color and lash extensions done by Leslie. She always does a FANTASTIC job but I think she's outdone herself! Staff is always so upbeat and welcoming! Would not only highly recommend but I'm definitely a forever customer!!! read more

I've been a client of Liz's for many years and am always extremely happy with my cuts, highlights and above all, the personal service the staff at Tijeras provides. My grand daughter experienced her first professional blow-out today with Leslie. She was so excited and couldn't stop talking about her next visit!! read more

I would never go anywhere else - the best colorist in town and I am never disappointed. You know your hair looks good when people compliment how great your cut looks. I have been coming here for over 20 years!!! Everyone in this salon does great work!! read more

I have been a client since moving to Albuquerque in 1976 and wouldn't go anywhere else. Owners Jacqueline and Liz Asher are perfectionists and their salon is clean and neat. You will not find a better colorist or stylist anywhere in town. read more

As someone who has gone to barbers for the majority of their life, it was nice to find a hair salon that is located conveniently to me that can actually do men cuts . Employees are always very cordial and attentive. Great service all around. read more

Leslie is hands down the best stylist in town. Super sharp and always makes the cut. She is a shear genious when it comes to hair. Strands above the rest and it is obvious why people are dyeing to sit in her chair! read more
