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.

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.

If you're a brunette who has stubborn, brassy hair and need color correction, I highly recommend V…read moreSalon! About a year ago, I had the worst experience with a hair stylist who claimed to be a color specialist. I came in for color correction to get all the brassiness out. She assured me that achieving an ash brown hair color was doable. $320 and 2 days later (a total of over 6 hours), the result was a nightmarish shade of dark blue at the bottom half and brass on top. She blamed her incompetence on my difficult "Asian hair". This was the first and only time I cried after a " professional" hair treatment. Afterwards, I started dyeing my own hair, which looks way better than her work, but still couldn't get rid of the brass. I realized that my entire hair needed to be bleached by an expert and couldn't do it myself, so I did some research and found V Salon. I specifically chose V Salon because one happy Yelp reviewer recommended it for Asian hair. Because of the horrible experience in the past, I was a bit nervous and skeptical. But when Ben mentioned that my hair needed to be bleached and warned me of the damage it will cause during the initial consultation, I sensed he knew what he was doing. He consulted with me every step of the way to make sure I agree with possible outcomes. He even took a few strands of my hair and dyed it to to show me a sample before he colored my entire head. The sample looked too dark and gray, so I asked for a lighter ash brown color and wondered if a little gray or blue would counter the orange undertones. Not sure if he made the actual adjustments, but the overall job was fabulous upon completion! No more brass!!! Take a look at the amazing before and after photos. Will be coming back for a layered hair cut to remove the frayed and damaged ends. Can't wait to see it! Note: As of March 2021, V Salon is only accepting cash. Vincent said their machine was down. Luckily, I just went to the ATM the other day. (A lot of businesses in RI prefer cash, for some reason.) Prices are on the higher end. My bleach and color treatment costs $250, without a haircut. Update: Ben's hair cutting techniques are comparable to the expensive hair salons inside Copley Plaza in Boston that charge $100+ (crazy) but more affordable at only $37 for medium long hair. The layered hairstyles are very detailed and seamless, as opposed to the basic, quick cuts at Supercuts, but for the same price (with shampoo & blow dry)!

I only leave negative reviews when a business refuses to find a resolution to an issue. In this…read morecase I am due a refund for the hack job Kseniya did on my hair. However, I am now being ghosted by this company and am filing a dispute with my bank. I was so excited when I found Flipp salon. I thought they would definitely be able to give me the edgy haircut I've been looking for- a chin length shagged wolf cut. I submitted on online consult form and didn't hear back. A week later I called and left a message. After getting no response and waiting another week I emailed them on instagram and then *finally* got in touch. I had an in person consult with Kseniya and brought photos of what I was looking for, as well as photos of myself with my most favorite haircut. I came in for the appointment and was more definitive of what I was looking for-which was my previous haircut a chin length layered bob with an A line. I showed her pictures of the cut and color and...... promptly had my hair poorly dyed and hacked off nearly to the scalp. I had over a foot and a half of curly hair. After the first cut I realized Kseniya did not understand curly hair and I didn't know what to do. The first cut with my wet hair was at my cheekbone- Do I jump out of the chair with half a haircut? I should have. I don't understand the disconnect with the salon and their Instagram. I was looking for a chin length edgy modern bob for my curly hair. What I got is pretty darn near a buzz cut (she did, in fact, use clippers on the back) and the dye didn't even take at the nape of my neck. It's less than an inch long on the back and 4 inches in the front (when stretched- with the curls it is about 2-3 inches). It's so short in the back that my scalp is exposed and the cut in the front is uneven with the hair longer on the side with the part. It's the worst haircut I have ever had in my entire life and is going to take at least 6 months for it to grow to the length I was asking for. There is no "fixing" this. I am due a refund for this awful hack job and am flabbergasted by the lack of professionalism of this salon- literally ghosting an unhappy customer. Are we still in high school?

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
