I was looking for a salon that was open on Monday and this salon is one of the few open Monday-Saturday. It was very easy to call and make an appointment. I had my appointment with Melissa and she was very friendly and listened to exactly what I was looking to do with my hair. She also gave me some coupons to use for next time and share with a friend. The salon was clean and spacious. I would recommend coming to John Bacon Salon.

I've been getting my hair cut by Kristina for years. I followed her from one location to the next…read more I even made the trip down regularly from Boston while I lived up there because she is that good. When she finally opened up her own place, I was right there in the chair for my next cut. Shear Technique is a great little place featuring one of the best hair stylists around. She takes her time, makes sure you're happy, and has great instincts for what works well to make you look as good as possible. No one that's ever cut my hair has ever taken as much care to do as good a job, which is why I keep coming back. She's even started cutting my baby son's hair now and he doesn't cry at all. She does a great job for people of all ages. I'd recommend Shear Technique to anyone with hair who wants professional service at affordable prices.

Went to Lavish salon for the "curly haircut". Sabrina was so sweet. She took the time to explain…read moreeverything to me, step by step. Everything she was doing and why, and every product she used and it's benefits. Although I left with my hair about 4 inches shorter than I would have preferred, my curls are shiny and healthy with the curliest spirals and full of bounce. The salon itself was clean and decorated well. Staff was pleasant. I was offered a water bottle while I sat under the dryer. I will be back based on the location, prices, and staff. But this time I'll be sure to voice better that I want my hair LONG and not short!

I gave Lavish Salon a second chance, and unfortunately, after our experience today, we will never…read morebe back. Our first bad experience was when my daughter had a curly cut with Kaylin. During the appointment, the hair dryer was so hot that it burned my daughter's ears. My daughter is extremely shy and tends not to speak up when something hurts or makes her uncomfortable. She didn't say anything while we were there, but after we left, she burst into tears, and that was when I realized her ears had been burned. I did not bring it to the salon's attention because we had already left when I became aware of what had happened. Despite that experience, I decided to give the salon another chance and brought her in to have braids done by the owner. From the moment we arrived, we felt unwelcome. She did not introduce herself, and when she asked what we wanted, her facial expression and attitude immediately made us feel like we were bothering her. We wanted braids that formed into buns, but because of the attitude we received from the jump, I was honestly afraid to even ask for any type of intricate braiding design. I already felt uncomfortable asking for anything beyond something simple. My daughter was in tears throughout the appointment. I asked her what was wrong and specifically informed the stylist that she is tender-headed. I then sat there watching her rip through my daughter's fine, curly hair with a small rat tail comb, pulling through knots rather than gently detangling them. It caused so much breakage. While doing this, she proceeded to tell me that my daughter "didn't have curly hair," all while combing through her curls in a way that seemed to create even more tangles. I was also left standing there for about five minutes before another employee - not the owner - came over and offered me somewhere to sit. The actual braiding took roughly 10 minutes and felt incredibly rushed. There was no attention to detail, and it felt like she was speeding through my daughter's hair because we were a burden and she wanted us out of her chair. After seeing my daughter in tears, you would think she would take a gentler approach. We paid $80 plus a tip for a hairstyle that does not look professionally done and an experience that once again ended with my daughter in tears. What bothers me most isn't even the money. It's that I gave this salon a second chance after what happened during her first visit, only for my daughter to have another upsetting experience. A child should be able to sit in a salon chair and feel comfortable, cared for, and safe.

My son is disappointed in his haircut and I am angry. He showed Leslie clear photos of a simple…read morecut, but the result looked nothing like what he asked for. The sides were too long, the proportions were wrong, and the style did not match the images at all. For sixty dollars, I expected a basic men's cut to be done correctly. He felt uncomfortable speaking up in the moment, so he paid and left, but he was very unhappy with the result. I do not care about a refund. I want accountability. The salon needs to know what happened so they can prevent this from happening to other clients. I will be calling the manager and plan to come in person the next time I am in Providence to explain what went wrong. Clients deserve to feel heard, and the final cut should match what they requested. The one good thing is that my son learned an important lesson. It is completely acceptable to speak up if the service is not what you asked for. If you are unhappy with a haircut, ask for a manager or request a stylist with more experience in men's cuts. I attached photos so you could see for yourself.

I've tried a few different places before, but this is definitely the best place I've found in Rhode Island for Asian men's haircuts.

Highly recommend V Salon, especially for Asian guys looking for a reliable place to get a good haircut in Rhode Island.

I booked an appointment based on the reviews on Yelp. When I arrived, a young man was outside the…read moredoor smoking. I went in and no one was there and the place was pretty grim- dirty and unorganized and with old fixtures. I should have walked out, but I was desperate for a haircut before a trip and had no time to book somewhere else. The same young man who had been outside smoking came in and he was my "stylist!" He was a nice young man and he washed my hair and proceeded to cut it based on a photo I showed him of a medium length lob. It was a little poufy when he was done, but looked okay. I was shocked at how little he charged me- about half what I would have paid anywhere else. However, after I've washed it myself and tried to style it, I have come to realize that it was a pretty poor cut overall. I won't go back and could not recommend it unless you have a very limited budget.

TLDR: Hair cut and color not as discussed, stylist Kate was very dismissive of my concerns and…read morewaived me off to pay and leave. A little over a week ago, I went in for a consultation. I said I wanted the following: -A layered haircut to trim the dead ends (I already had layers but they were very grown out) and bangs that blended into my hair on the sides. -A multidimensional color (multiple colors) similar to my natural color, with COMPLETE grey coverage. Kate looked at my hair and recommended three DISTINCT colors for the three dimensions of color in my hair, one a dirty blonde, one a medium brown, and one a dark brown (all cool toned). We then booked at the front desk for the appointment. I was surprised to learn she had multiple availabilities for a long appointment, which apparently I should have clocked as a red flag then. I asked for confirmation on the appointment duration and she said 3.5 hours - I expressed surprise and emphasized my hair was very thick and it has taken longer in the past, and she said she would "book the haircut separately just in case so we have more time". I arrive the day I booked it a bit early and she seats me immediately. I make some small talk but it's clear she doesn't feel chatty, which was fine. As the hair color proceeds, I notice that she is bleaching some sections but not coloring anything, which I figure is because we're in step one. This step takes 2 hours by itself. She washes it out, and I ask her to walk me through the steps we will be doing next. She simply states "toner and wash" which I figure is the next step only and not the last step. She "tones" my hair all over, washes it out, and then does the cut. I figure she knows better than me and it may look different dry as colors often do, so I wait. My hair was multicolored brown/blonde when I came in, so maybe it will turn into three colors. She dries my hair and cuts the bangs. I repeatedly asked for shorter bangs and for her to fix them because random hair was longer and I couldn't see with it getting in my eyes, and she fussed with the bangs enough to make them "even" and just gave up with them still too long (I asked for at or above my eyebrows, these are basically 1/3 down into my eye). I express the color is all one color (which is none of the colors we discussed) and she shrugged and said "it's demi color; it will wash out and become lighter" (???) I express again this isn't what we discussed and the bangs were too long, and she simply said "I'll meet you at the front I have my next customer" (at this point we are 5 hours in to the "3.5 hour" appointment). Flabbergasted, I simply pay at the front and leave. Outside I get better lighting - and yup; all one color - except THE GREY SHE DID NOT COVER. Honestly very disappointed with the color service and cut, and the dismissive response to me expressing my concerns. I will not be back and recommend no one else make the same mistake I did visiting their "blonding specialist" Kate.

I believe the Gentleman's name was Steve, I didn't quite catch it but wow did he do a great job. I have difficult hair, it's very soft, fine and there's a lot of it. Cut it wrong and it sticks up in 15 different places. For once I don't have to use product to glue everything into a shape. One of the worst parts about moving to a new area for me is finding a barber, and the best one in the area in my eyes works here (he's obviously not a barber, he's a hair stylist 100%, but you get what I'm trying to say). When it came time to pay, I asked what the damage was, and he said "$27." I was expecting at least 50 if not 100+, obviously left a 150% tip. I'll be back for sure... Thanks again, you did an incredible job, definitely setting the bar high. If there are any dudes out there reading this in a similar debacle suck it up and give it a try... See you in a few weeks
