In years past anytime I've gotten highlights they always turned out brassy, not with Jess, my color always looks perfect and holds up nicely as well as her cuts. I love Shannon's attention to detail when doing my brows and how she customizes my facials and knows exactly what my skin needs. We've made it a family affair as my entire family are all guests at Serendipity.

The clean, large salon had a lot happening. I haven't been in a large salon in 20 years. They had a…read moremenu of freebies on the table at check in. How exciting! One star down because...no one asked if I would like anything. Not while I waited, not while I had my hair done and nothing to go. Not even water guys! Wow what lack of customer service. Why have a delightful looking menu? Second my hairstylist Beth took her time and gave me layers. I asked for layers. Lots of layers, however my thin, barely there hair got way too chunky (and not blended) in some areas rendering HOLES in my hair. It took me a minute to write this review and the cut thank goodness is growing out. Will I return, probably not. Finding a new hair cutter that works for your hair is one of the hardest things out there.

They make solid recommendations and talk w their clients about what will look beautiful, what is doable, all while making each person walking away feeling like they were their stylist's priority. Elizabeth M has been styling and coloring my hair for years. She always takes time w me, asking me what I want, showing me what is achievable, and then teaching me how to make sure I get my hair the way she's able to do it, everyday. That's always hard, bc you know how hard it is to make your hair look like they do! Elizabeth is also a color master!!! I've never been disappointed!

I recently moved to Richmond and was looking for my new hairstylist. Erica had glowing reviews so I…read morewent to see her. Of course, right before my first appointment, my car's battery died and I was 30 minutes late. Erica was super gracious and accommodating of my delay. What I love about her is that she takes her time. You never feel rushed and she works with you on what you need. She gave me several care tips and also sold me some quality shampoo and conditioner at a far better price than I could've gotten it online. Happy to have found Erica and know my hair is in good hands

I usually go to the salon once or twice a year to get my layers cleaned up and dead ends removed. I…read morealways create a Pinterest board with haircuts I like, including video pins to show the stylist. One of the things that has been hard for me when visiting most salons- I have moderate hearing loss and the stylists have always been super chatty and ask tons of open ended questions. I usually can't understand 70% of what they say after Ive removed my hearing devices. That always takes makes me feel embarrassed when I keep asking them to repeat themselves or answer something they didnt ask. After showing my stylist my desired cut, she saw me remove my hearing aids. She did not make me feel pressured to make small talk. The head massage she gave me while shampooing my hair was wonderful and relaxing. She was gentle with my hair and took great care with cutting the layers. The front door was propped open and there was a nice breeze coming in. She made me feel happy, relaxed and at ease. I have never had such a quiet and relaxing salon experience. I look forward to visiting her again when I need my hair cut in the future.

Their staff are all professionals who know what they're doing, so you can rest easy knowing that you'll be taken care for and you're getting your money's worth. A few notable services that they provide are haircuts, hair coloring, highlighting, waxing, and eyelashes. One person that I do want to recommend is Sara. She's a great all-around and has built quite the clientele. She's great at many things (cutting, coloring, etc.), but I do know she's quite popular for men's haircuts. Aside from Sara, everyone that I've interacted with there were always nice and friendly! Everyone knows their styles, color, and what looks best! Since these gals are all self-employed business owners, they don't take walk-ins, but by appointment only. The prices are fair considering the amount of skill and experience you're working with. When you're ready for a serious makeover, haircut, or whatever; this place is it. So check out their Facebook page and book your appointment! https://www.facebook.com/embellishhairstudiova

Love Sara! I have been following her for the last several years. When she moved into Greater Than…read moreSparrows, I was super excited as the location was also convenient (and not far away from where she was last). Every time you enter, you are greeted by smiles from the Front Desk. Everyone is very kind and has a warm personality, the atmosphere is nice and the interior is beautifully decorated. The only services I have done is cut and color, such as a balayage. This salon and medspa seems to be the one-stop shop for all sorts of needs from hair, tanning, makeup, manicures/pedicures, etc. The massage chairs while you get your hair washed is top notch. Sara is phenomenal. She takes the time to make sure that you are comfortable, listens carefully to what you want, super accommodating and just always does a great job. Even the advice that she gives, she doesn't overstep and try to take anything over without your approval. The entire experience is a breeze with her. I look forward to booking with her again when she gets back from her maternity leave and I would definitely not mind exploring other services.

I also am not comfortable going back to the salon at this point. I am relieved I got my money back but the damage will take years to repair. I wear wigs daily to look professional for work. I'm not sure how I'll manage on vacation at the beach or for photos but given the circumstances I'll have to make do. Hopefully the salon learned to be more cautious and perhaps do a strand test on hair they aren't sure of while also not leaving the bleach on too long.

I've seen her since I moved to Richmond and cant believe it's taken me this long to do a write up about her. She has helped me tackle in the last 2 years: post-partum hair - I'm talking 2 different textures of curls that were messing with my ability to style and manage my hair in general Curly color - guiding me on my first ever journey to attempt curly color which can be so damaging for curls if not done right.

She has a long waitlist BUT she is super good about posting openings on Instagram (so give her a follow) and then once you are on her existing clients list you'll get emails about when she does bookings and it gets much, much easier. Do yourself a favor and get on her books. It'll change your life if you're a curly girl in RVA!
