TLDR: Hair cut and color not as discussed, stylist Kate was very dismissive of my concerns and waived me off to pay and leave. A little over a week ago, I went in for a consultation. I said I wanted the following: -A layered haircut to trim the dead ends (I already had layers but they were very grown out) and bangs that blended into my hair on the sides. -A multidimensional color (multiple colors) similar to my natural color, with COMPLETE grey coverage. Kate looked at my hair and recommended three DISTINCT colors for the three dimensions of color in my hair, one a dirty blonde, one a medium brown, and one a dark brown (all cool toned). We then booked at the front desk for the appointment. I was surprised to learn she had multiple availabilities for a long appointment, which apparently I should have clocked as a red flag then. I asked for confirmation on the appointment duration and she said 3.5 hours - I expressed surprise and emphasized my hair was very thick and it has taken longer in the past, and she said she would "book the haircut separately just in case so we have more time". I arrive the day I booked it a bit early and she seats me immediately. I make some small talk but it's clear she doesn't feel chatty, which was fine. As the hair color proceeds, I notice that she is bleaching some sections but not coloring anything, which I figure is because we're in step one. This step takes 2 hours by itself. She washes it out, and I ask her to walk me through the steps we will be doing next. She simply states "toner and wash" which I figure is the next step only and not the last step. She "tones" my hair all over, washes it out, and then does the cut. I figure she knows better than me and it may look different dry as colors often do, so I wait. My hair was multicolored brown/blonde when I came in, so maybe it will turn into three colors. She dries my hair and cuts the bangs. I repeatedly asked for shorter bangs and for her to fix them because random hair was longer and I couldn't see with it getting in my eyes, and she fussed with the bangs enough to make them "even" and just gave up with them still too long (I asked for at or above my eyebrows, these are basically 1/3 down into my eye). I express the color is all one color (which is none of the colors we discussed) and she shrugged and said "it's demi color; it will wash out and become lighter" (???) I express again this isn't what we discussed and the bangs were too long, and she simply said "I'll meet you at the front I have my next customer" (at this point we are 5 hours in to the "3.5 hour" appointment). Flabbergasted, I simply pay at the front and leave. Outside I get better lighting - and yup; all one color - except THE GREY SHE DID NOT COVER. Honestly very disappointed with the color service and cut, and the dismissive response to me expressing my concerns. I will not be back and recommend no one else make the same mistake I did visiting their "blonding specialist" Kate. read more

I only leave negative reviews when a business refuses to find a resolution to an issue. In this case 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? read more

Recently had a haircut by Mark Smith and he did a fantastic job! The cut and style was exactly what I was looking for. Cannot say enough about the stylist or the man. Personable, knowledgeable and a pleasure to talk with. You won't be disappointed in his service or him! Eileen read more

I recommend the salon for so many reasons. It's women owned, LGBTQ friendly, and they use earth and animal friendly products. The only thing that was slightly confusing for me on my first appointment was figuring out which length appointment I needed. I booked a 72 minute appointment and it turns out I only needed, a short amount of time. Please note that you don't tip your stylist because the cost is incorporated into the price of the cut. read more

My husband and I recently moved to Providence. I was in search of a salon/stylist that was familiar with custom colors to work on my grey blonde as well a place that focuses on the use of organic, natural, and ethically minded products. And WOAH... did I hit the jackpot with Flipp! From the moment you enter the salon, you are greeted with this mod, eclectic, down to earth vibe that just makes you feel like you can really let your hair down. ( pun totally intended ). No stuffy atmosphere here! Every detail of this salon is a curated experience. It's clear that a lot of effort was put into making this place feel one-of-a-kind and it shows. Often times, hair products with synthetic fragrance or a lot of chemicals will make me feel sick and give me a headache. However, I did have ANY negative reaction to the products used on my hair here! Such a relief knowing I can get my hair done and looking FIIIINE without having to sacrifice my health a little in the process. Their Covid protocols are on point too. I felt safe and cared for my entire visit. Now let's talk about my stylist/color genius- MARISKA. On a scale of 1-10, she is an 11. Mariska is not only incredibly talented but she also offered great advice and support in my hair care needs. We had lovely conversation the entire time (which was quite a long time thanks to all my hair. haha ) I felt like was gabbing with an old friend the entire time I was in her chair. I really cannot sing enough praises about my experience with Mariska and Flipp salon as a whole! This place is a gem! Truly the best salon experience I've ever had. Thank you Mariska for making my hair goals come true and Flipp for being this awesome, welcoming, and wonderful space for artists to create. Sincerely, Michelle read more

I have gone to Flipp a few times now to see Jena, who is amazing at vivid colors! She has done my hair pink, orange, red, and purple -- all with amazing success! I always leave with my hair feeling soft and refreshed. Also, all of the staff are so nice and helpful, the vibes at the salon are fun and relaxing, and it's easy to find parking nearby. read more

I had my first appointment at Flipp and had my haircut by Charlotte. I have very fine hair that is also very thick and it can be treacherous getting haircuts because it can end up looking like Loyd from dumb and dumber. my hair was also about shoulder length and I wanted something much shorter for the summer. Charlotte gave me what I consider the best haircut I have ever received. She listened to what I wanted and created great shape. She was so pleasant during the cut and you can tell she is passionate about what she does. I can't recommend Flipp and Charlotte more! read more

l've been growing my hair out for 3 years and have been afraid of having anyone touch it, but at the recommendation of a friend I made an appointment here with Mark. Covid protocols are in place and I felt safe and secure there. Mark is an absolute master at what he does. Listened to my needs and was a great conversationalist. I can't say anything that accurately states how good he is, he cleaned up all the frayed ends I had and lightened everything up. It feels like my hair is brand new! Fully recommend, price was great as well. read more

I recently went to check into Flipp and was surprised they aren't already on yelp! I couldn't describe them better than how they describe themselves: "an up-beat, positive space aiming to interconnect art, wellness and all things beautiful to the eye and to the soul. Aiming to promote whole-ism in the individual and in the community through a common space and have fun in doing so!" More so than just a team of very talented, creative hair stylists, Flipp makes going to the salon FUN - and informative (not just about hair, but about navigating Providence in general). Most products for hair and skin are natural and plant-based. The space is bright, funky, and welcoming. Unique, artsy decor. Peek at the bathroom sign - hilarious! I love that they promote so many other small businesses in Providence as well through referrals, handing out cards, etc. Custom herbal tea blends are offered, in addition to acupressure and reflexology. The owner Joanna is also the lead singer of B-Hive; a B-52 cover band! From their business page, you will be directed to facebook/schedicity to schedule. Downsides? Transit St. in Providence is a little out of the way, mostly because of the pain of 1-way South Main St. I've never had a hard time parking, but the area can be tricky during peak hours of the day. Worth stopping by to admire the space even if you have a hairdresser you swear by, but I can't imagine getting my hair cut anywhere else. read more

Every few years, I venture off to a new salon to give my look a fun and fresh update. After some research, I decided to go to Flipp and was lucky enough to get Mariska as my stylist. First off, the location of the salon is adorable and very convenient in the east side of Providence. Mariska is ABSOLUTELY awesome. I was trying a bayalage for the first time and even though I could not pronounce that darn thing, she knew exactly what I was talking about and did an incredible job. She was diligent, patient, and was quite the perfectionist - which is fantastic for a stylist to be. I've been going back to her for the last few months and each visit is as awesome as the previous. I also love their online appointment booking system! It's incredibly simple and I get reminders on when my appointment is coming up. Such basic service but still a great thing to have at my disposal. :) On top of this, Mariska even lets me tect her directly if there is anything I need done on the fly or if I have to have a free afternoon to get a quick trim or color. Highly recommend Flipp to anyone and deifnitely ask for Mariska, she's AWESOME. read more

Flipp Salon & Apothecary - Before and after by Mariska. Amazing job! - Hair Salons Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

First off I if I have to option to give 0 star that would be great ! I came in for a hair cut , it was suppose to be a stack up layer cut but my hair came out nothing like it . I explain to the stylish Rebel about what I wanted and she seem to know what I wanted but my hair cut came out horrible . On top of that for a shitty hair cut they over charge me . My hair cut cost $60 . That's what a senior stylist charge at John bacon salon, I don't mind paying but for a shitty cut and for a new hair stylist to charge that it's insane . Just a words of advice I think you should charge by experience flipp salon . I will never come back !! read more

I love Flipp Hair Salon! I had a corrective color done by Mariska and she was amazing. She was happy to take the time to do it right, and I'm so happy with how my hair looks! I would absolutely recommend Mariska (and Flipp) to anyone. Marisca also specializes in organic hair color! This is going to be my go-to salon for now on. I've seen a few really negative reviews on here, and i think it's important to note that each stylist rents their own chair and has their own separate clients at Flipp - so just because you didn't have luck with your stylist doesn't mean Flipp doesn't have some other incredible stylists! read more

Hi! I've been a hairstylist for twenty years. I used to work with salon owner Joanna, and we've remained friends. When she heard that I was going through a tough time she offered to give me a haircut, which I gladly accepted. This is the best haircut I've ever gotten, and my hair is difficult to cut because it's so baby fine that any mess ups can't be hidden. I'm growing it out, and I wanted to make it look more like a bob. I walked out looking like a blonde Amelie (that's a wonderful thing). There's this magic that can happen when you get a good haircut where you leave with hair that actually looks longer, and Joanna is the magic maker. Thank you, you have my undying loyalty. read more

I had a friend recommend Flipp for my cut and color I was planning on getting. I did my consultation with Robyn and she did a great job of figuring out exactly what I wanted for style and color shade with my pictures I brought. The final result came out amazing! I had several inches cut off and a close to burgundy shade mixed in with my naturally dark brown hair. The owner also sent out updates throughout the shutdown during COVID and did home deliveries of products. They were very easy to reach and responded quickly to any questions. I love this salon! read more

I'm sold. I've now been to Flipp a handful of times and have loved every experience. Melissa did a great job on my first appointment. When I went to set up my next appointment I had just gotten engaged and needed my hair cut before photos. Melissa wasn't available the day I needed -- this was easy to figure out because of their extremely convenient online appointment system -- so I made an appointment with Nina. I selected Nina because her profile indicated she does hair for weddings. I could not be happier with Nina. She always texts me personally with a reminder for my appointments and does an excellent job with my hair. Plus, she is one of the nicest ladies. I had the first trial for my wedding in December and was very pleased with this as well. I went in not really knowing what I wanted to do with my hair. But, after just an hour with Nina asking me questions, showing me pictures, and playing with my hair, I had a perfect plan for the wedding day. I highly recommend her for cuts and any time you need your hair done for a special occasion. read more

Great cut, washed and it looked even better than when I left the salon as my stylist Kim had said might happen. She was respectful of my natural texture and didn't try to straighten my hair as many previous stylists have done leaving me with a haircut that doesn't work unless it's straight. I also appreciate that she asked and did not put products in my hair. This salon has a down to earth and relaxing atmosphere in a cute part of providence too. read more

Savannah is amazing!! She turns hair maintenance into calculated mathematical model and it never seemed easier. Super awesome with hair extensions and a pro in coloring, I would not go to anyone other than her! Thank you so much Savannah! :) read more

I truly NEVER thought I'd be giving a hair salon a 5 star review - I always have bad experiences at salons and have truly never had a haircut I liked (until now!). Part of this is my own problem - I am extremely shy and anxious, so sitting in a chair for an hour or more talking to a stranger is my personal nightmare. It's also partly due to my hair type - I have very thick, wavy hair that can be difficult to manage. It isnt the easiest to cut and style. With all that being said, my appointment with Mark at this salon was actually PERFECT. This place is clean, professional, very reasonably priced for the area, and very "cool" too if that matters to you. Mark was beyond friendly, welcoming, and listened to my concerns and requests for my hair. My hair was in a pretty bad state when I went in (the pandemic and depression have ruined any haircare routines for a lot of us) and he didn't make me feel bad about it. I left happier, more confident, and with the funky Joan Jett shag of my dreams! My boyfriend even said afterwards that I looked the most "me" he'd ever seen. If you're nervous about taking care of your hair again or just have difficult hair and struggle with being shy like I do, go here and book with Mark. He'll take care of you and you'll leave happy with what you have! read more

I went for a consultation first with Michael who was very good at listening to my ideas. I brought pics of a hair style that I used to wear and he agreed to cut my bob into a style with long layers. I got an appointment two days later. In addition to the cut, he applied color and highlights using organic products. I am thrilled with the results. I will be sure to re-book! read more

Michael Dates is awesome! Great person and amazing skills, def coming back to hear some great movie recommendations while getting a cut

On the day of the appointment I was actually 10 mins late! The receptionist called me 5 mins into the appointment and asked if I was on my way and at this point I was only 2/3 blocks away. Unfortunately when I arrived I had no idea they didn't have a parking lot. The parking lot behind the salon was actually for local residents, so I had to park down the street and walk to the salon. When I arrived I was quite nervous and embarrassed to have come in so late! But soon enough I met with Shannalee. She was quick to sit me down and ask about the ombre I wanted. I showed her a photo of an ombre and although she disagreed and even quoted Khloe Kardashian, she said it was not possible to get it ashy blonde in one sitting. (For reference, prior to my appointment, my hair was really dark brown/black, thick, straight, up to my collar bone, and virgin hair.) This was understandable, I thought. Shannalee even suggested for me to get a cut regardless of me getting a fresh hair chop a couple days prior because of the possible damage the ombre might have to my ends. Fast forward even later to my coloring process. Despite me being in the salon and really liking the color, once I got a closer look at home I was a tad unimpressed. The view is very different when you're sitting in a very lit salon, sitting a couple feet away from the mirror VS. getting a close up in your very own bathroom. The color was something that could be eventually colored to my desired color (ashy blonde) but the technique of the ombre was somewhat stripy. I felt like my hair did not have the fluidity or gradient effect of typically ombre'd hair. Also the bottom of my hair still has some dark pieces in it. Maybe this was suppose to be intended for the evolution of my ombre since my hair is so dark but she also said little to nothing to me while in the chair (aside from the brief talk we had about what I wanted to do with my hair) so either way I wouldn't know. She did little to no explaining about the process and didn't tell me when it was appropriate to get my hair done again. She did not make me feel super comfortable nor did I get the impression that she even wanted to do my hair. The 'cut' she gave me was also no more than 4/5 snips at my hair. In the end she charged me for an ombre with a 'partial' haircut but still nearly the price of the combo she charges anyways (courtesy of https://www.schedulicity.com/scheduling/SSACPP/services) with only $5 off for a regular priced haircut! A partial haircut and regular haircut only being a $5 difference was ... interesting to me!!? All in all, I'm rating it a 2/5 because "Meh. I've experienced better." truly sums up my hair experience there. read more

Here goes... this is going to be a long one, so strap on your seat-belts and get ready for the ride. I used to have a hairdresser friend who was the first person to touch my hair in years, like 10+ years. When I met my friend, my hair was down to my butt and after some convincing, I decided to make the decision to cut it. So my hair was taken up about 6 inches to my chest area. A few months later, it was cut to my chin in a very cute angled bob look. Everyone I knew was in shock because they never thought they'd see the day that my long luscious locks would be gone. That was 5 years ago. Since then, I've been letting my hair grow and grow. My hair is thick and curly and annoying; so all I would really ever do on a daily basis is throw it up into a bun or in a pony. How boring. I started looking through old pictures of me with short hair and going online to look at hairstyles and I finally made the decision that I wanted to go back to the short style and donate my hair to Locks of Love. I didn't know where to begin with finding a new stylist because my friend doesn't' do hair anymore. I asked around to other friends, but wasn't really happy with what I was hearing. Then I turned to the next best option, Yelp. Yelp put me in touch with Flipp Salon and after reading all of the stellar reviews, I said to myself "this is the place I need to go." I called on a Friday and was able to schedule an appointment for the next day at 1:30 p.m. with Davon. I explained to the receptionist that I have very long hair that I'm attached to and I need someone who is going to coddle me and really listen and understand to what I want in my new do'. I arrived at Flipp at 1:30 and met with Davon. I showed her a couple of pictures and explained to her exactly what I wanted. She was WONDERFUL! Not only did we have great conversation for the 2 hours I was in the chair, she really truly listened to exactly what I wanted done. I mean, come on... this is a drastic change for anyone. When all was said and done, she cut off 19 inches which I took home with me and will be mailing to Locks of Love on Monday. I would highly suggest Davon to anyone looking for a sweet, honest and talented hair stylist. She asked me my opinions on how it was looking and if I wanted anything tweaked, instead of just having a go at it and hoping I would like it. She gave me the choppy, edgy and cute angled bob that I was looking for. Well, you know what... I LOVE it. I love my new hair and I will be a client of Davon's for as long as she is doing hair in the PVD area. read more

I was very apprehensive about getting a haircut in Providence as I was a recent transplant from Boston, where Newbury Street hair gurus thrive. It's also not easy to find stylists, who can work with sometime unruly and thick Asian hair. Before my wedding in November, I opted out of a haircut in order to grow out my hair for an updo. Instead, after consulting Yelp reviews, I booked an appointment with Melissa at Flipp for hair coloring services. The ambience and decor at Flipp is certainly cute and quirky. As I have monotonous, "The Ring" style, pitch-black hair, I desperately needed some color depth and tone variation to lighten up my hair in a natural way. I was very pleased with the result as the color helped show off my fabulous wedding updo. Like a close girlfriend, Melissa is also sweet, professional, and pleasant to work with. Like a previous Yelper noted, I found the payment process to be smooth and easy. I simply had to sign an iphone to authorize my transaction and to add a percentage of tip and received an email with my receipt After a successful coloring experience with Melissa, I recently booked a hair cut with her. The result...a fabulous, soft, textured bob with side bangs. My once heavy and thick hair suddenly feels light and has a lot of movement. I'm rarely pleased with my haircuts. In fact, I may have truly loved 1 or 2 previous haircuts, but this most recent haircut is one of my favorites :) Next up for spring is a chic pixie cut a la Michelle Williams. I am a new fan of Flipp and devoted client of Melissa's. read more

After an initial bad haircut in Providence, I made sure to do some research before getting another cut. Flipp comes highly recommended. I had to call into make an appointment. They do not really do walkins. The salon is tucked around a corner off Benefit. I had no trouble finding parking. Flipp is definitely a place that tries really hard to be cool and hipster. Consequently, it came off a bit snobby. However, Melissa, my stylist, was nice and helpful. And she gave me a great cut! I thought I had finally found a salon in Providence. But about a month later, I came back top get my bangs trimmed, as Melissa stated that she did this for free for customers. Well, she cut them alright... More like chopped them. The care in cutting that was there for the first cut was absent when she trimmed my bangs. They were not straight and much too short. And she wasn't so pleasant. Onward goes the search for a Providence salon. read more

This place does a great job on haircuts, as everyone has already said. I've been to both Shanna and Melissa and they are both great, for me personally I think Melissa edged out because she really understood my need for texture - which I still call "thinning" - and executed what I was looking for. Melissa also said she specialized in coloring red hair, which is a big plus for me and a heads up to the other redheads or those thinking of going red. I was concerned with some greys coming in spotty at the temples and she put me at ease by saying a glaze would do the trick without actually coloring my hair and would also leave it shiny. Very relieving as dealing with grey hair as a redhead has been a source of nervousness for me! The on-line booking is a breeze and prices are fair. The interior works, though I've been to better in my day. The washing chair station leaves a little something to be desired. read more

I've experienced quite a few different salons over the years and I feel the most comfortable and relaxed while I'm at Flipp. There's a laid back vibe, great music, and a very tasteful decor. The staff are all very nice, attentive and have a strong sense of professionalism which I appreciate when my appearance is involved. Joanna specifically is amazing - she always does a fantastic job on my difficult to tame wavy hair. She always offers to trim up if after a few days I'm not feeling something (which I've never had to take her up on). The salon offers a wide variety of natural, organic products which is important to me as a consumer. Booking an appointment is very easy online and I always get street parking on Transit. I've never had a bad experience here and recommend this salon to all my friends and family. read more

I am so so happy that I found this salon! I am used to getting my hair cut at Asian salons in New York or Philadelphia. So, I was pretty hesitant to get my hair cut in Providence. However, my mane just had to be tamed. This salon has a really funky vibe (vibrant robins egg walls. Trees with curlers hanging). Immediately was welcomed by the receptionist who brought me a beverage. Mariska was ready for me. We went over the hair style I wanted. Shampoo job was decent. I'm used to a longer more aggressive wash. Mariska was very meticulous with my hair. She used multiple types of scissors and sheers. She was very friendly and talented. I was extremely impressed with her attention to detail. She also gave me her number so I could contact her whenever. I ask her all my questions about hair care, styling products, heated tools, etc. This will be my go to hair salon for now on. read more

I love Flipp Salon. I've been a dedicated client of Jo-Anna's for years. I've followed her to three different salons, and when she told me that she was opening her own place, I knew it would be wonderful. Not only has she recruited an amazing staff, but she also created a warm, cozy and funky space that's just fun to be in. Admittedly, I haven't taken advantage of the full line of salon services, but considering that they won Rhode Island Monthly's best of 2011 in their first year of business, I think it's safe to say that they do well. read more

I have been going to Flipp for over a year now. Jo-Anna Cassino is, I have to say, my HAIR ARTISTE. She owns the salon as well. I have gone to so many stylists over the years and have been disappointed. Almost like, no one gets me. I am older and don't want to look like a young girl I just want to have an "edge", something different, yet something that works on me. Jo-Anna sings in many bands. Incredible voice and that is how I met her. Mutual friend in one of the bands she sings in. What drew me to her was her incredible sense of style, musical talent, as well as natural beauty. So....the rest is history Each time I have gone to see her I have come up with a different style. Each time she "gets me" and does a tremendous job and she makes it work!!! This last visit I decided to be a little more daring. I explained the concept. "How about shave my head on one side, a little longer bangs on the other side, as well as a longer blast of hair in the back". Well low and behold, and it is not the first time!!! Jo-Anna totally got what I was looking for just by my hand gestures and description. I had a pic on my phone but was different than what I wanted so I used it along with my own conceptual vision. I have come away with a hair style that I have NEVER, I repeat, NEVER gotten so many compliments on!!! From young and old alike. Male, female, everyone!!! I was so thrilled as I always am when I get out of Jo- Anna's chair. This time it is different!! I should post pics. Needless to say, this is the salon for me. A beautiful space, lovely people who work there and many things to offer besides just hairstyles. It is an Apothecary mind you. So Jo-Anna is always there to "whip" up something soothing and special just to meet the needs of your stressful hectic life. Lovely skin creams, perhaps a soothing tea, or maybe a new makeup routine!! Flipp has it all!!! read more

I am a very picky girl when it comes to choosing a hair salon. One of my best friends is a stylist and she took care of my hair when I lived in NYC. When I moved to RI and she moved to GA, I wasn't sure what I would do. After reading the great reviews on Yelp, I decided to give Flipp a try. That was two years ago and I've been a loyal customer of Shannalee's ever since. She does a great job on my hair plus she's fun to talk to. The salon is really cute and the prices are reasonable too! read more

The only place in Providence to get your hair cut as far as I'm concerned. After moving from NYC and trying to find somewhere that can really listen and do wonders with your hair I stumbled here after a very negative experience at a 'cool' salon elsewhere in town. The owner responded right away and recommended someone who would work with my more particular hairstyle and it's been great ever since. Terrific for all genders and easy to book over the phone or online. read more

I've been coming to Flipp Salon since it opened and have been thrilled after every visit. I followed Melissa here from her previous salon and I always leave happy with my hair. Melissa has cut and colored my hair and has a great feel and instinct for what works for me. She takes my vague descriptions and random impulses and turns them into something that works every time. The salon is cute, funky and has a great atmosphere. I love being able to schedule appointments on time. The staff is friendly and fun. A great salon! read more

What a great experience! I came in to see Mariska last week hoping for a new look for summer - she more than delivered. I got a balayage/ombre and it looks amazing; I've gotten so many compliments and I absolutely love it. Flipp has a great atmosphere and everyone there was incredibly welcoming and friendly. I am so glad I found this place (and Mariska), I will definitely be back. read more
