Danika was very communicative the entire cut and really delightful to chat with-- she provided me with upkeep instructions throughout and a great product recommendation. Honestly I've never been so happy with my hair and can't imagine going to anyone else while she's around. Oh and S+M has nice ambiance. Every bit of the experience felt premium from the building to the wash sinks. You should get your hair cut here, they're great.

I walked here during a snow storm that prevented me from driving to my usual salon. Nice enough…read morepeople, but that's not factoring into my review of their performance. Balance is probably great -- IF you have naturally straight hair. No good if you have literally any other texture hair. My thick, dense, curly hair was totally mishandled. I went home, showered out all the zillion little cut hairs left within my locks and on my shoulders, and then got a really good look at a really bad haircut. They made me look like an A-framed poodle having a stroke. When I went back to my usual salon I was told: "They gave you an expert haircut for somebody else -- somebody WITHOUT your hair!" Any wavy, curly, coily girls: spend your $100 elsewhere! And, lastly, let me give a preemptive no thank you: I don't need any snarky responses or a "Who, me??!" from the owners or employees of Balance who read this review. I literally do not care what they have to say in response and neither should you, curly girl fam!! xo

I usually pull more of a yellow tone and he was able to pull a cooler blonde effortlessly. This was my first time at this salon and it was very clean. I'll be returning because I'm in love with my color!! Thank you so much Nick!

They give great descriptions of their stylists which definitely helped me with my choice. And there are so many great girls to choose from. Sam Eggleston (check her out on IG) did my hair and she was amazing! It was my first time EVER getting my hair colored and I was really nervous but she made me feel so comfortable and explained everything. And she freaking killed it! She's a junior stylist but you could never tell. This is their newer location, right on 36th St in Hampden. I would recommend trying to find the free parking on the side streets because the main street is all paid hourly parking, which isn't great for the longer color appointments. Go check this salon out!
