I get my hair cut very rarely and was really excited to try Cedar Hair Studio! The studio is aesthetically pleasing and clean, and the front desk staff is really nice. Also a nice touch that there were snacks and beverages in the waiting area. I was unhappy with my haircut. During the appointment, I told my stylist I wasn't loving it, and she told me to live with it and come back, versus getting it fixed while still there (there was still time left in my appointment). I did end up coming back, and the front desk was super helpful getting me in for another quick appointment! But my hair really was not any better when I left, definitely the worst cut I have had. I've been wearing my hair up since my appointment and even bought my own shears to get rid of the chunks of hair that were hanging lower than the rest. I did like the studio so I would consider giving another stylist a shot! read more

I've had Carrie do my hair now 3 times and each time I love it! She does a fantastic job and is super sweet.

Wish I could give zero stars. Held off writing this review for a while. Seems like it could be a nice experience if you don't cause a fuss - beautiful salon, friendly staff other than the experience I'll describe below. The owner, Emily, is extremely defensive to criticism and seems to really put stylists and staff above customers, so if you want to work here you might fare well. I had a nice haircut here and I was so excited to come back for a color appointment, but instead I was lied to and had my credit card unknowingly charged hundreds for a cancelled appointment, only to be gaslit by the owner and receptionist however Over a year ago I was looking for a new salon and got my haircut here over a year ago, and let my stylist do a pretty big chop. We scheduled a balayage/highlights session when I left the salon that day right after I paid for the haircut. ***The receptionist did not have me sign a waiver or enter any information into their system.*** I cancelled the balayage session the day-of because I got sick, and when I called the salon, I was told there might be a convenience charge of $50-70, &that it was the discretion of the stylist whether or not to charge me that fee since it was a late-notice cancellation. Totally understandable, and of course I felt bad for having to cancel last minute. On the cancellation call w the receptionist, she asked for my credit card info so they could put me in the system for when I reschedule. She promised me she would call me back and let me know what the cancellation fee would be, and I was very adamant about asking her to call me back about this, since I was also eager to reschedule. I hang up, waiting for her call back... all of a sudden I see a charge on my CC for ~$200. I called back and the same receptionist answers and pretends she has no idea what I'm talking about. This must be a mistake, I'm thinking, maybe the other receptionist left for the day because it was literally minutes after I hung up the first time. I get in touch with the owner, Emily, and explain the situation over voicemail and email. She told me I must be lying and berated for cancelling my appointment same-day because of how disrespectful to the stylist that is. I had a couple more emails with Emily back and forth but I gave up, they took my money and obviously I didn't reschedule because I obviously couldn't afford to pay twice for a balayage session that I'd been saving up for Now, I totally understand sometimes people are having a bad day, a bad week, etc. and I totally understand that Emily wanted to stand up for her employees. Also, I get that they had to charge me something for the stylists time. I never get my hair done and didn't sign any waiver or policy so I didn't know, but I know now. Had someone acknowledged the "mistake" (seemed very intentional though to collect my credit card info right before you hung up) we might have figured something out, but instead I was met with nastiness, gaslighting, and no hair coloring at all. the main offense was being lied to and then told I'm a liar, and turned away by the business read more

I love this salon. I see Hannah but everyone on staff can work magic on your hair. I really enjoy the time I get to spend in the chair, its relaxing and fun. I think the pricing is really reasonable and the staff is knowledgeable to help make your hair dreams come true. read more

I've been going to this salon before fanny packs became cool again. The staff is always so much fun it makes you feel like you're hanging out with your best friend read more

Love the clean, fresh vibes in this space. I see Chandler every few months and she does an awesome job with my highlights. She's also super personable and easy to chat with. Plus I love the products they use, they leave my hair smelling so yummy. read more

Cedar Hair Studio - Inside of shop - Hair Salons Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Finding a hair salon can be super difficult when you move to a new city, especially one like Denver that has so many. A friend recommended Cedar Hair Studio and I loved the look of it from pictures I saw. They have a stylist matching form on their website where you tell them a little bit about you and your hair and they recommend a few stylists that may be best. In the end, I booked an appointment with Leah. Leah was very sweet, listened to what I wanted, and checked in with me throughout to make sure we were on the right track. I'm not super high maintenance but loved the way my hair turned out. They use R+Co hair products which I really like, so it was nice to be able to buy some on my way out. They also have a few other fun little things to peruse for yourself or as gifts. They're at very reduced capacity right now and everyone is wearing masks. Hand sanitizer is also at the ready. Additionally, I found street parking right outside the salon. There are a few other cute stores and restaurants nearby which I'll definitely check out the next time I stop in! read more

Jayme was a great stylist who paid such great attention to my hair. She really took her time with the cut to make sure it was perfect, but all still within the scheduled time. Her scalp massage during the shampoo was amazing! Very cute and clean inside. read more

Great atmosphere, good products, every stylist I've been to at cedar has been professional and done a great job! Better than a day at the Olive Garden and that's saying a lot! read more

(additional edit below) I wasn't expecting drastic results- the goal was literally just to blend the grow out and previously applied color (level 8) at the roots to give a more natural look and progression into the bright ends I already had. I definitely wasn't expecting to see noticeable bleached rectangles and chunks in my hair because the foils were placed poorly. I'll let you be the judge. My reply to Emily in the comments: You cant honestly tell me that the harsh lightened areas where the foils were placed is a result of color history? The stylist did a test strand and said she was so surprised and pleased with how well the permanent color lifted and how well the structure of my hair did during the lightening process, this is very evident because the lightened areas are platinum and there is no previous color left ‍. If I am understanding correctly, you are saying that the sections that were placed in foils, in some areas 1" away from my scalp that left sharp angles after lightening to a level 12 platinum, did not need to be addressed before I left the salon? It is your opinion that the stylist should not have consulted with me before letting me leave her chair? My chief complaint is the extremely obvious areas where there are large slices with harsh foil lines. It is definitely clear that these areas lightened well, removed the previous color, and did not damage my hair but were left as is. Is it your opinion that these areas could not have been improved? I am disappointed that as the owner of this shop you immediately shut down my request in your email reply for me to come back in to try to address my concerns, or even try to have a modicum of customer service. In the conclusion of your email you said, "We wish you luck finding a different salon for future appointments," and I was honestly shocked. You presented a "we are right you are wrong" perspective in your email with no alternatives or any effort to work with me to reach a common ground for a resolution. I get it, at the end of the day it's a business and it's an exchange of money for services provided. I understand standing by your employees, as a client, I wish you had more of a propensity to stand by your customers; especially when the outcome (you agree in your email and comment), is not in standing with the desired result as discussed during the consultation. read more

I've been getting my hair cut done since before Emily started Cedar. Emily, Hannah and Brooke have all cut my hair and they are all phenomenal. I have extra thick hair and they have helped me kept it manageable while keeping my locks beautiful. I have had a bob to extra long hair and have always listened and executed in perfection. read more

I've been going to Emily for years back when she was at Clementine's and I'm so happy to continue to support her as the owner of Cedar. She's created a lovely environment and been able to hire on an extremely talented staff. Nearly all of my friends have started going to Cedar and we all have different stylists we love. It's the best salon in town in my opinion. I love that I can walk in with a photo I found online and Emily will help me create the look that best works for my hair. She's helped me embrace my natural color and texture but elevated it so much. read more

Cedar Hair Studio - Red to blonde balayage - Hair Salons Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Updated review (July, 2021): I hired Cedar Hair Studio for my wedding, hair services for me, four bridesmaids, and two moms. They did a beautiful job! Leah and Chandler drove up to Vail, Colorado, and brought all the supplies to do our hair and makeup. They were kind, professional, and fun to be around that day. And our hair and makeup turned out beautifully!!! Highly recommend their bridal services in addition to their standard fare. Will add photos when we get them back! Previous review: I got a trim with Chelsea - sounds pretty basic, but I'm trying to grow my hair out and am currently in this awkward phase. We had probably 3 or 4 minutes of conversation about what I was struggling with with my hair before she got to work. She took such good care of all my concerns! Some areas needed more of a trim up, others needed a light dusting. She worked quickly but very carefully. She's also a blast to be around. It was definitely one of the best haircut experiences I've ever had. The salon itself is darling, really beautiful, bright and welcoming. I'll be back! read more

Kate is the literal BEST! So so good at what she does and is so easy and fun to talk to. I moved away from Denver in 2022 and never found anyone like her, was so excited to come back this year. She takes the time to figure out exactly what you're looking for and checks in along the way to make sure you're good with everything. She is great at giving an elevated, natural look. As a side note, when I was in a few months ago, she brought out her laptop so I could use it to try and get Noah Kahan tickets; they went on sale during my appointment and my phone was failing me. At my appointment today, she started playing Noah when I got there. Little things like that mean a lot. read more

Emily just gave me the best haircut I've ever had. Seriously!!! I'm a very low maintenance girl that doesn't really touch her hair, but i decided to switch it up and get balayage with a cut. This was the first time coloring my hair at all so I was nervous and hoping for something a little more subtle- that's exactly how it turned out! Thanks Emily!!! read more

Recently had my hair cut by Bunny. I was a bit nervous because of the coronavirus, but this was my second time since the lockdown and I felt so safe the whole time I was there. Although the salon has always been clean and sanitary, they take extra precautions, like sending customers a Covid form to fill out before their appointment, and taking everyone's temperature when they enter. I know nothing is 100% safe in a pandemic, but I felt great about supporting this local shop because Bunny and the other stylists were working their butts off to make sure everything was clean and socially distanced. I am a teacher with classes half full (I'm an optimist) and I feel much safer in the salon than at my own job. I do hope that they can go up to 50% capacity, because there is plenty of space. read more

This was my first visit to Cedar Hair Salon and it way exceeded my expectations! Emily Anne (sp?) was amazing, listened and cut my hair exactly how I envisioned it, and figured out my hair texture and best way to cut and style it after taking off 10 inches. The space was beautiful, music was lovely, and the entire experience was wonderful. The staff was wearing masks, and distanced. The space was clearly kept very clean and everyone was mindful of covid restrictions.I can't wait to go back! read more

I LOVE CEDAR! I have been going to Emily for 7+ years and followed her to Cedar. She does amazing balayage and highlights, as well as great cuts. They service men and women. They can even do blowouts! Booking online is the easiest way to get an appointment. I love the ambiance here. The cactus theme is adorable and all the chairs are super comfortable. The salon is hip and super fun. I highly recommend Cedar. read more

I needed to find a new hair salon and after reading reviews and receiving suggestions to come here, I'm so happy I did! The space was modern and minimal with bright lighting, plants, and books--the best decor! They have complimentary drinks and a really great team. From the moment I walked in, everyone I met was pleasant, warm, and so inviting. Cedar makes it easy to book appointments online with a stylist of your choice to fit your hair's wants and needs. The team has a diverse skill set and prices are reasonable, too. Ellen was fantastic for me! She was gentle, conversational, personable, and very intentional in her work. She gave me a low-maintenance cut and listened to my concerns. She never once questioned what I preferred in a haircut. My hair and I left feeling healthy, shiny, and new! I'd recommend Cedar to anyone with hair needs! read more

I had really long hair and wanted to cut it short and donate it but was nervous about such a big change. I showed Cori the following photo from Pinterest and told her to style it however she thought it would suit my face. I was absolutely thrilled with her work!!! Not to mention very reasonable pricing. It came out just like the photo. Can't wait to go back. read more

I was in last week with Hannah for balayage and a trim. She did an amazing job and I couldn't ask for better results. I've also seen Emily and Bunny in the past, they are all stellar. The salon is a whole vibe in itself, and I always feel so relaxed and refreshed after being there. Thanks for all you do Cedar! read more

Cedar Hair Studio - Balayage by Hannah - Hair Salons Near Me - Denver, Colorado

If I could rate negative stars I would. Not only was I there for half of the day and payed $300, I now have such over processed hair that I can barely touch it without it snapping off and my hair is no where near what I asked for and darker then when I started. Worst experience of my life. Don't go here. My hair is trashed. **i see the owner has no concept of customer service. I was in tears leaving the salon. The picture posted by them vs the picture posted by me in my kitchen on the same day are extremely different. Editing photos to make your people look better? Why would I want to go back to someone who literally made my hair fall out? To fix it? Honestly? Guess I'll see what legal ground I have to stand on to try to get my money back. This is ridiculous. I might also add that the stylist made fun of me for being over my hair saying it was just hair. read more

Chandler did a great job cutting my hair! She cut it exactly the way I asked her to and offered helpful advice on my hair.

Overall, this is a nice hair salon. However, I received a mens haircut with highlights and it was almost $300. They charge the same cost as womens hair, despite having significantly less hair and using less product during the haircut. I was quoted around $120 for the haircut and color during this session and it ended up being significantly more. Don't get me wrong, my haircut and highlights look great, but this salon is SIGNIFICANTLY overpriced and they mislead you when it comes to pricing. read more

My haircut was great I did not expect to receive the quality of service I did. Chandler was a great stylist I didn't know what I wanted to do with my hair and I let her do her own thing and it came out great. This was the first time that I have been at a salon here in Denver by far my expectations were met. Thank you Chandler. read more

Cedar hair studio is amazing!! It's a beautiful space and the owner is incredible at doing hair. She's been doing my hair for about 7 years and it always turns out perfect :) Check this studio out! read more

I have been a client of Emily since 2013. Emily highlighted my hair and shaped up my very fine hair. She is warm and inviting. I found my stylist! I always receive compliments on my hair and am in cloud nine when I leave the salon. I had to go thru Chemo and lost most of my hair. She kept me positive and worked with me to make me feel beautiful during the ordeal. It took nearly 2 years to fully grow it back out. I am so lucky that Emily held my hand during the recovery/regrowth road. She is a hair styling genius. I am proud to say that Emily is not only my beloved stylist but also now my friend. I am so proud of her and her courage to open Cedars. read more

Disappointed. I had to reschedule my hair appointment & they booked me on the wrong day. I drove all the way out & customer service at the front desk did not much to help my frustration. I'm excited to go back, but at this point I'm just very frustrated at the lack of customer service I received. read more

I'm glad I randomly found Hannah at this salon. I have very fine asian hair and she does an amazing job at cutting it and giving me the exact look I want. She's very detailed, professional and nice. Highly recommend! read more

Cedar is my go to hair salon in Denver since moving from LA. I initially went in and met with Bunny, but it wasn't exactly what I wanted. Emily, the owner, immediately emailed me and took me in to get the hair I loved for up my upcoming wedding. She did an amazing job on my long thin hair to achieve the balayage color that I wanted. Thank you for being so patient with my needs, I'll definitely come back! read more

Such an accommodating hair salon! Super cute and cozy inside. Everyone is very welcoming and nice. The products they offer by EVO are my fave. I love a good cruelty/eco friendly product that offers quality as well. Hannah is so nice! She took care of my hair perfectly. I had an awful haircut that I rode out for a year and I was ready for a chop once it was all grown out. I'm so happy with the style and quality of my hair now. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone looking for a new salon to go to! read more

Hannah is a artistic hair wizard! I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with her. She was friendly, easy to talk to, and gave me an excellent hair cut & color! She was able to give me the California beach hair look I was wanting! And made this mom feel cute again! Thanks Hannah! read more

Yesterday was my first appointment. Couldn't be happier with my cut and color! Very casual and clean salon! Highly recommend!

I had a fabulous appointment today at Cedar Hair Studio. Erica was my stylist and she was fantastic! She really listened to my ideas but gave me helpful feedback on what would work best for my hair type and my hair goals. I appreciated the honesty! She is extremely good at what she does and is very meticulous in her technique. She is very friendly and easy to talk to making your time in her chair enjoyable. With all that being said I want to make sure to applaud the owner and the entire crew with creating a wonderful space to be in as well and a wonderful space that feels inclusive, friendly and social. I will absolutely go back to see Erica, and I look forward to it! read more

I've been hesitant to share with you all: The Amazing Bunny!!! I heart her - she's really attentive and has a wonderful understanding of my hair wishes. I'm often awkward and not articulated enough to express my hair needs. Bunny gets me and I've been seeing her since I moved to Denver. Bunny is keen on setting my expectations and explaining to me what can be done in 1-2 visits. Although, this salon is outside where I live/work/hangout, Bunny is 150% worth the trek. Plus, the salon is super cute and very inviting. Love her and this salon! read more

Emily is the best! She has been cutting, coloring and making me look beautiful for years! She also cut my son's hair for years, she cuts and now does balayage on my daughter's hair, oh and she cuts my guy's hair too. She basically makes my whole family look gorgeous. She is so kind and caring. She always does the best job, whether I am keeping my same cut or changing it up. I get compliments on my hair all the time! Emily works so hard and she is such an inspiration! Her new salon is so lovely and I cannot wait until my next appointment! I am so glad I found her. I look forward to sitting her new chair for years to come! read more

I had a really frustrating and disappointing situation at Cedar Salon. I went in with fairly low expectations because my hair is very dark. I told the stylist that I wanted it to be lighter and break up the darkness, that I wasn't hoping for blonde or anything dramatic but I kept saying I just wanted the color change to be noticeable. As she was drying my hair, I told the stylist that it honestly wasn't what I was hoping for because I couldn't really tell that it had been lightened at all. I could tell she was frustrated with this and she began to get defensive. I was apologizing to her even though it wasn't my fault but I was just trying to keep her happy. Overall the outcome wasn't what I was expecting - I just wanted to be able to tell that I got my hair done. The stylist explained that it was the toner that made it look dark. She said she could retone my hair but was unable to do it that day. At this point I asked if another stylist could retone my hair so I wouldn't have to come back. Things went from bad to worse. At that point the owner of the salon came over and got in my face. I asked if someone could just retone my hair since that's what the stylist said would fix the problem...she quickly corrected me and said that retoning wouldn't fix the issue and that salon wasn't for me. I said I was willing to pay for the service they provided but I just wanted it to be fixed. I even offered to pay for the retone. She told me to leave and that a different salon would need to fix it. When I left they didn't charge me but I have never been to a salon that wasn't willing to fix or change what they had done. I would think again before coming here. They are nice to you until they make a mistake. And when they do they aren't willing to make it right! ****update- I got my hair done at a different salon in the Denver area and it's perfect! 10/10.. when I told them about my experience here they were shocked they wouldn't fix it.. I will say, in my experience working in customer service for 15 years- a good business will make things right and help you. Not lie about the situation. When you're looking for a salon- I hope you consider this. I don't want what happened to me to happen to you:) Most salons will take ownership and have pride in there work and make things better. read more

Emily is THE Balayage Queen and has been my stylist for more than 2 years. I have never loved my hair so much. Her passion shows through all that she does.

Can't wait for my next appointment! read more
