Well I've been going to many salons and haven't been able to find my fav since my old stylist moved to Colorado until I discover Robert Leonard. Their prices and service are awesome. My go to person have been Larisa. She always make sure my hair length is perfect and doesn't try to up sale me on products. She is simply wonderful. Also this salon offers waxing. The prices are very competitive and Halina does a very sterile job which I appreciate.

Although I love my hair, the pricing was absurd. I've been going here off and on for a few years and have seen my stylist twice before but I've never done a full balayage with her. She did a very great job and was very thorough. She kept me updated on the entire process on what she was doing and is very educated. But when the receptionist told me how much the price was for my full balayage and haircut.
I wanted to faint. I was in such shock, I didn't even know what to do. It's the most I've ever spent on my hair for a full balayage, even triple the amount. It was over $950. And that's not including tip yet. Im not sure if this is because of inflation but as much as I'd love to come back here I physically can't afford it. It keeps me up at night knowing how much I spent and I'm just so upset the pricing was that much.
Maybe it's my fault for not asking but I thought it could not be more than at most $500, let alone double that. It's upsetting I spent that much but lesson learned the hard way unfortunately. Ask before hand for pricing and tell them a budget.

I had a very disappointing cut & color here after seeing the same stylist for about 6-8 mos. I called the salon immediately to let them know -- they wanted photos and the manager was very understanding & helpful trying to find a way to fix the problems. I will def continue with another stylist at this salon. However I was surprised that i didn't hear from the actual stylist who did the original cut & color but also understand that could be awkward for both of us. I also am surprised they didn't offer a discount on next appointment.

Micah and Elyse are a dynamic duo for a modern balayage and cut. Micah was so intentional during the consult in making sure he knew exactly what i wanted to end up with. He checked in often during the service to ensure i was doing well, and we just had a ton of fun throughout the whole time! I'm so excited to have found my new colorist in town! Elyse is #hairgoals so I totally know I'm in great hands for growing my locks long and healthy! I loved the combination of this team and the outcome! Thank you both so much! Only advice if scheduling online is to book the cut with Elyse and then the color service.
