Valerie did a great job on my hair! I had hair down to my mid-back. I came in looking for balayage…read moreand a cut just under my collar bone. I brought in a picture. She talked to me about the picture and the process, and showed me color swatches to see how light I wanted to go before she did anything. For the consultation, cut, balayage, and styling it took close to three hours. (A welcome vacation from packing with a toddler!) Valerie nailed the cut! She got the exact length I was looking for, and worked some magic on the side-swept bangs I had cut for myself. The balayage looks great too! I'm so happy, and I know I'll be coming back next time! Valerie also sells beautiful fresh cut flowers on Friday and Saturday, and has an adorable boutique downstairs! It's a quaint spot, and the service was excellent!

I am extremely picky when it comes to my hair. In my 40 years on earth I've paid everything from…read more$150-$300 per visit for cut and color. In the past year, I've become well versed in coloring my own hair with salon quality products and have perfected my technique over several years. TBH I was nervous to book a place for a cut only, because I was worried I'd be shamed about the fact that I highlight and tone my hair myself. This has been a necessity due to our budget and the fact that I have two kiddos and a hubby who works very hard, so it's hard for me to carve out 3-4 hours every few months for a hair appointment (yeah that's how long it normally takes). Jacque was very warm and inviting, super friendly. I was completely honest about my hair journey and the fact that it's naturally wavy, but I sometimes flat iron it, curl it with a curl iron, or do the heatless curls. Sometimes I wear it my natural texture. Life has got in the way so much that's it's been a full 10 months since I last had my hair done. She was honest with me that I needed to cut off at least two inches to cut off the damage which is normal after nearly a year of heat, no trims, and chemical damage. She had a lot of tips and tricks for me for when I color my hair at home, which I appreciate so much, as well as some tips and tricks for me for styling and using my newly bought velcro rollers. I appreciate her so much. I felt like I was having my hair done by my favorite auntie, she felt like a friend instantly. In the past 20 years that I've lived in Indy I have come across a small amount of salons that were snooty and I felt so out of place. Jatas was simple, clean, warm, and inviting at a great price. With two kids in daycare right now, I appreciate the affordability of this establishment and I rebooked for a few months from now. I have more confidence to highlight my hair myself, but will also be dedicated to getting more frequent trims to keep my hair healthy. Thank you Jacque!

I have been going to Jenn at Jata's for several years now. In the past year, I've also converted my…read morehubby and his 16-year-old daughter over to Jenn. I have what is almost Asian hair: thick and straight but with enough bend that it just naturally begins to form a "bob" once it grows past my chin...and I have lots of it! Jenn is the only person I have found who can cut my hair the way I like it no matter what the length-of-the-moment is for me. I think she is a genius when it comes to short do's - I ALWAYS get tons of compliments when she gives me one of her super-short, spiky wild coifs. She has even managed to take my better half from his ultra-conservative, $7 walk-in hair studio do to decidedly more modern and flattering look...not an easy task considering his baby-fine, thinning locks. Jata's is not too big and is conveniently situated on the west 86th St. corridor, just down from Trader Joe's, so you can shop after for goodies after your runway redux! The salon also has nail and spa services. I've not partaken of either yet, but the nail and skincare estheticians appear to have quite a loyal following.

I have been to Don's salon three times before. I loved his cuts. I was always the only person he…read morehad during my appointment and I got his full attention. This last time was different. Even though I had made the appointment early, I felt like that he had fitted me in a time slot with someone having their hair highlighted. For $114. for just a haircut and blow dry I feel like I should get 100% of his attention instead of being worked on in between him working on this other person. When he was finished with me, I was not as pleased as I had been in the past. Then when I did my hair myself later, I realized it was a terrible cut. I don't know what happened, but he did a terrible job this time and for that price I will not be back.

I started coming here to get my hair cut a number of years ago after finally giving up on the…read morequick, super-inexpensive chains, and also being turned off by the stuffier, high-priced salons. For me, Rose-Dore is in the Goldilocks zone for hair cuts. Nan has been my stylist since I started coming here, and she always does a great job! My hair is wavy to curly depending on the humidity level, and can be a disaster if cut wrong (see previous note on giving up on the quick, super-inexpensive chains). She also gives me no grief about waiting way too long at times to come in for a cut, and also no grief about not coloring away the gray. I'm too lazy/low maintenance to deal with roots...so figure it is better to just stay natural...(see previous note about stuffy higher-priced salons). The atmosphere is really relaxed and prices are very reasonable. Same week appointments are typically available. Rose-Dore is a great northwest side option for a relaxed, no-nonsense, but high-quality hair cut!

UPDATE: This Review Got Me Banned from Rose-Dore. You Can…read moreStill See The Note behind The Receptionist's Desk which says "Do Not Make Appointments for Jon F_____." Now they don't permit any stylists to cut my hair, lol. Very immature business practice-- 1. Provide unsatisfactory service, 2. Ban any customer that leave a negative review 3. Do not, under any circumstances, contact unsatisfied customers after giving them the "Trump" haircut. Do not ask them about their experiences, or how to improve. At Rose Dore, we rush the customer out because we've got more hair to cut! Just to clarify the above policy at Rose Dore, what I'm saying is that Rose Dore's business practice is below average. In the past several years, I have written 2 other negative reviews, and those companies left a concerned comment under my review about my experience. The above post-it is obviously in response to this negative review I wrote, because that note went up right after I published this review (and not right after my latest haircut)... -- My first experience was great. Nikki Young was great. 5 stars all the way! I continued seeing Nikki until she moved. She no longer works there, and my next experience was great as well. Emily. 5 stars again! I was told that Emily (I think) is the one who cuts men's hair, and she did a perfect job. That was December 9th, 2014. Then I went in and set up an appointment again in March. This time, I was told that they ALL cut men's hair. So Stephanie ended up cutting my hair. She'd been working there 35 years. Got in my car. Looked at it in the mirror. It looked awful. I felt so embarrassed I couldn't even go into Starbucks. It looked like a rushed drill sergeant cut my hair. I have photos of this haircut in case anyone believes I'm making this up. In fact maybe I'll post them in this review. There was a section above one ear that was clipped very short and looked like the clippers were used there and then stopped. I drove back and showed her the section. I said that she can just cut it all short if necessary. She said "That won't be necessary," and she cut both sides short, blended it better, then gave me a mirror. It was now short on the sides and long on top and in the back. I suggested she cut the back shorter to match the length of the sides. I already felt sick going in to tell her it had to be fixed, but I did pay her and also tipped her 20%, so felt I deserved to have a decent haircut. After the "fix," I just wanted to leave, because Stephanie said, "Okay, now it looks better." without asking for any confirmation. I felt like I was being picky, but it wasn't getting fixed and I didn't know how to tell her that it looked TERRIBLE. In the end I gave up and left, deciding that I'll pay someone else to try to fix it. When I got home I took another look. One sideburn was an inch lower than the other sideburn. I fixed that. Easy. Though it is telling how someone could miss that. Maybe she's great at cutting women's hair--maybe she just doesn't know how to cut men's hair. My friend Meredith said that maybe her eyes aren't very good. Maybe she forgot her glasses or contacts the day she cut my hair. I'm not trying to insult anyone, I'm just trying to explain this. All I know is it looks ridiculous and I have photos. I can't understand how a person can cut hair for 35 years and not take one last look at the overall haircut and notice a chunk that's cut shorter than the rest of the hair, or looking straight on, notice that one sideburn is so much different from the other (the hair was not only lower, but longer... one sideburn was taken care of, and the other was not). Also if you glance at any part of it, it has a long tuft here and there peeking out from the surrounding short hair. In addition to that, she asked me if I ever used "product" in my hair. I stated that Nikki Young (who used to cut my hair) had used Aveda Pure-formance for men, and I loved that product so much I bought it myself, but aside from that, I hate product and very rarely use any product at all. Despite my saying this, Stephanie used American Crew Fiber (which I hate...it's like putting glue in your hair). I'd advise against getting your hair cut there if you're a guy, unless you can get Emily. Be sure you tell them Emily (or Stephanie... maybe it's Stephanie. Either Stephanie is the horrible one and Emily is the great one, or Emily is the horrible one and Stephanie is the great one. Now I don't remember). The owners of Rose Dore do not care to find out about my experience. I'm just a customer. I'd rather have Donald Trump's hair than the messed up disaster she gave me at Rose Dore. What's telling is that after posting this review, not only did no one reach out to me to correct their error or inquire about my experience, but also a glowing review popped up 7 days after my review was posted. That review was written by Michellene, the daughter of the owner of Rose Dore...
