Beware!!! I walked in with clear instructions and reference pictures. I walked out looking like I…read morelost a bet. Not only was the haircut completely opposite of what I asked for, but the length was aggressively chopped off without consent. I wanted shape and movement -- not a primary school uniform haircut. I now resemble an 8-year-old schoolboy, which was definitely not on my vision board. The most disappointing part? Zero accountability. No apology. No attempt to fix it. Just vibes and scissors. A haircut can grow back, sure -- but professionalism and listening skills should already be there. If you value your length or expect your stylist to actually follow instructions, proceed with caution.

She had been…read moregetting highlights for awhile and Mr Alfaro was by far the best experience and they look fabulous!

My first visit to Shine On Mens Salon was truly an eye opener. To receive such quality work from a…read moreprofessional perfectionist like Noah was a new experience. I wasn't use to having someone spend so much time and detail on my hair and beard.

Drew is the seriously fan-freaking-gastric!…read more First off, he's efficient, which I love!!! He is super skilled and knows what he's doing, he is quick but thorough, and he leaves you looking and feeling fabulous. He also gives me pointers on how to style my new cut every time, which is so helpful! I also really love that he has his own private area so it's not a very loud or overwhelming environment, like many large salons can be. He was recommended to me by a friend and I'm so grateful! Also, it's to make appointments online and pricing feels very fair for what you get, too. Drew has changed my hair sooo much for the better - and I completely trust him! I highly recommend booking an appointment with him if you're seeking a new stylist.

I would give this 0 stars, but maybe there was a misunderstanding as to what I wanted. I went to…read morethe Sport Clips on Ashland. I had long hair, and went in to have it thinned out, shortened a little in back and over the ears. I thought I was pretty clear on everything. The stylist then pulled out the clippers, which I questioned, but she said it was the 6 setting that would not take off too much. Unfortunately, I wasn't positioned in front of the mirror so didn't see how much she took off until she was finished. I told her it looked too short, but she assured me the top would blend in and it wouldn't look as short - she was wrong. She then did the same buzz coat to the back of my head. The whole cut lasted about 25 minutes, which included the shampoo and hot towel.

Very Slow. Over priced. Not great work. Would go to a real barbershop instead of this place.read more

I felt so cared for and paid attention to from the minute I walked into the door. Lauren paid so much attention to my type of curls and listened to what I wanted. We talked through what she was doing and she provided recommendations to me (without being pushy about selling products). It felt like I was truly embracing self care and I left feeling so confident about my curls. As someone who has struggled with curls a lot, I would highly recommend coming here to absolutely everyone that wants their hair to feel loved.

this review is way overdue, but no time like the present. When I had come to the studio for the…read morefirst time, the environment was very nice and relaxed. But it comes down to the quality of the work and knowing different hair textures and curl patterns. This studio doesn't have a full grasp of that. Middle Eastern hair is very different from African-American hair. By the time I left the studio the stylist had burned off a piece of my hair in the back where I couldn't see and she did this the second time when she was trying to fix her mistake on my first visit. I went to a different salon a few weeks later and they held up a mirror to the back of my head and showed me where she had damaged my hair so badly and where it was broken/burned off. What's upsetting is that they didn't own up to their mistake. They brought me in a second time to fix the issue with the color on my hair and I left there with my hair is worse condition. In addition to my way overdue review, please acknowledge the owners response to my review. While I can understand that there may have been changes in this establishment, the delivery of the owners response is only defensive and not in the best interest of the customer and future clients . An appropriate response would be for the owner to reply advising us that ownership, teams, training, standards of service have changed for the better and to welcome the idea of another visit to have a chance to update the review in a more positive light.
