Desarae is not only an absolutely stellar artist but one of my favorite people to sit back and chat with while having a mimosa in hand. She makes you feel beautiful, valued, and empowered for your entire visit. It's very clear that she, Steph, and Kenzie have successfully cultivated a fabulous and fun environment while tailoring their services to each individual client. I moved to VA for a brief 6 months pre-pandemic and still came home for Des to do my hair. I am never disappointed with her beautiful color expertise and she even taught me how to style it at home! I would recommend them a thousand times over! Literally RUN, don't walk and get yourself to Roots for these beautiful ladies and their amazing skills.

Sorry Yelp engineering team-- I think that 5 stars might not be enough for Hairanoia…read more I was lucky enough to be able to schedule an appointment last minute, presumably due to a cancellation. Note that many of the stylists, especially the owner Michael, tend to book out for months. The online booking system was super simple to navigate, and gave me text updates. My appointment was in the evening, which in itself is a major plus. About an hour before my scheduled time, Michael called me and told me he could accommodate me 45 minutes earlier, which was a major plus. The shop was popping when I arrived-- phones ringing, customers popping in, even though it was the evening. The decor is really charming. Lots of interesting artwork and knick-knacks to catch the eye. When Michael asked, "what are we doing today?" I told him the color I wanted and he took the reins from there, which I appreciated, because I'm not the kind of person who goes to salons very often. Later in the appointment, he also asked if he could do a certain cut he thought would look good, and I said "go for it." I'm not the kind of client that has a specific vision in mind so I'm grateful when stylists use their expertise (but ask you.) Also, Michael explained that the dye he chose was less damaging and would be better suited for my hair, and he also recommended a few other products I should use. Some salons color your hair before they cut it, but I had a lot coming off, so Michael did a quick trim first. He cut it so quickly, I didn't even notice that my hair was suddenly 3-4 inches shorter until I glanced behind me and saw the floor littered with my split ends. Seriously, think this man might be some kind of ninja. When it came time to process the color, Michael asked me if I wanted to sit outside. This was the most unexpected delight of the evening. It turns out, they set up a little outdoor area with gravel, chairs, shade umbrellas, and even a fountain to work with COVID restrictions last year, and decided to bring it back this year. This was such a lovely surprise, and made for an unparalleled hair appointment experience. I don't get outside as much as I'd like to, so I appreciated getting a minute to sit in the sun. Granted, the neighbors were playing loud music so it was not perhaps quite as serene as expected, but I didn't mind so much. Throughout the visit Michael was very nice, as was the rest of the staff. My hair came out nice and the price was very reasonable. In fact, it was like reverse sticker shock-- I was actually surprised at how inexpensive it was. As someone with long hair, I tend to get charged more for these services-- I think because most stylists tend to do color first. Both the inside and outside areas of the salon were beautiful. Definitely recommend this one-- especially in the warm months when you can catch a little sunshine while your hair sets!

**Late Review** I got my hair done this past December with…read moreKaitlyn. She seemed nice but after I left the salon I was left wondering why she did such a poor job on me, I've seen photos of her work and of the wonderful colors she has done as being the color specialist of the shop. Since December, I've still been a bit disturbed as to why she let me leave the salon with hair that I disliked more than when I came (I actually wish I had my normal hair back, as it was much better before I sat down with her) I had red hair dye all over my forehead.. my ears.. the back of my neck.. my cheeks. I sat in my car and cried like a little girl because why would you do that.... I wished I didn't go in there and just kept my hair how it was. The color itself was not at all what I had wanted, after showing photos, etc. I understand not getting the EXACT shade of course, but this was just incomparable.. after asking how I'd like it styled and saying I would like just a regular blowout, I was disappointed with how she managed to do it.. I've seen blowouts on her portfolio.. I even do my own blowouts.. she could've handed me the styling tools and I could have done it myself if she didn't plan on doing a good job on me.. she left my hair super frizzy, and nowhere near a blowout at all. It was the day before Christmas, even after getting such disappointing service, I still tipped a lot. The only reason I chose this shop is because Tara's family is neighbors with my mother and I wanted to go to a familiar business. I wish the experience could've been better. In the photo, it is my hair just the day before seeing Kaitlyn, and then immediately after. It looks horrible. I only post this review now, because I think about this every day and wonder why she did such a poor job on me ? I am not a resident of the area anymore i live in NC for military and easily could've just waited to go back home after the holidays to get my hair how I wanted it. Her portfolio all had great styles.. that's the only reason I booked with her. But not on me unfortunately.

Wow, I am in shock that I did not review this salon sooner! Bijou was probably one of my greatest…read morediscoveries to date in the Syracuse area. I am a curly haired gal and- let me tell you- I have experienced some pretty awful haircuts in Upstate New York. Lots of places advertise curly cuts, "devacuts", yaddah yaddah- but they truly have no idea what they are doing. I can't tell you how many times I have had to go to NYC for rescue haircuts. ENTER JOLENE AND BIJOU.... if you want a great curly cut, this is where you should be going. Jolene is a genius- she truly understand the dynamic nature of curls and takes her time getting a lay of the "curl land" before she starts snipping. She starts with a dry cut to make sure she doesn't take too much... then she proceeds with the wash and dry process... and then- the grand finale- more styling at the end. She cut my hair before my wedding last July- it was perfect. And she just rejuvenated my mop of hair again today. I find the prices to be very, very fair. As an aside, everyone wears masks at the salon, and they check your temp and employ mandatory hand washing when you first walk in. If you have curly hair and are living in upstate New York/Syracuse, you must try this place.
