It's exactly what I pictured in my head -- maybe even better. From the moment I sat in the chair, Stephany made me feel comfortable, listened to every detail, and checked in throughout the process to make sure we were on the same page. The placement, the tone, the blend... everything is absolutely flawless. My hair looks expensive, healthy, and sun-kissed in the best way. The salon itself was clean, welcoming, and had such a relaxing vibe. I never felt rushed, and the attention to detail was next-level. You can tell staff really takes pride in their work. If you're thinking about balayage, RUN -- don't walk. I've never loved my color this much!

Cleanliness is well kept here from restrooms to the work stations to the waiting area. I appreciate any business that takes sanitization and cleanliness a priority.

Here, you can be confident and sit comfortably in their chair knowing they've taken the time to make it an S.O.P., regardless of how busy it is.

My sibling went in for a haircut, showed many reference pictures on what he wanted. It was all done…read morewrong one side is a little longer than the other ending all of the full thickness of hair he had , then the stylist proceeded to tell him it was "too" thick to cut with scissors and she would "have" to be there longer and proceed to use a "shortcut" method of the razor, to be honest is that not the point of a hair stylist to actually know what the client wants and know how to actually at least try and achieve that style, rather than passive aggressive comments that ultimately led to disappointment overall. You ruined a teens self esteem! This really took a toll on him mentally, his hair means everything to him. Instead of giving him what he wanted, you gave him what you wanted which was honestly really bad! Imagine how a he feels with a haircut that looks like way different then what he wanted. Shame Shame Shame !!!

My hair is natural black and haven't colored it in a year or so. I had a A line that had grown out in 4 months and in dire need of a cut. I pretty much evened it out. She styled it in beautiful light waves. Jan colored and cut my hair in 5.5 hours, so faster than I thought. She explained how to care for and maintain my hair and to give it time to lighten up but could also go back to her if I wanted to lighten the ends, so we'll see. I LOVE my hair!

Like another reviewer, I had been getting my hair cut at another business for more than 10 years. I…read morecalled one day to make an appointment with Song only to find out she wasn't working there any longer, and no, they didn't know where she was now. Hmmm... Some quick sleuthing led me to 1581 Salon and ah! Satisfaction. I usually don't Yelp my super favorite businesses for fear it will get too crowded but not so here. Song has been cutting my hair for more than 14 year and I look forward many more years of fresh cuts. Becoming Song's client was a serendipitous occurrence. After many years of growing out my hair, it was time to be more clean cut. I went to the aforementioned shop where L. was my regular barber. As a walk-in on L's day off I reluctantly sat in Song's chair. It was the only day I had that week and I really needed a haircut. Twenty minutes later I was so satisfied with the haircut and that was it! That weekday became my haircut day as I was too embarrassed to tell L. I preferred Song's cuts to hers. It was at least 6 years before I dared to come in on a day the other one was working. By that time I was sure she wouldn't remember me any longer and frankly, didn't care if she did. What I really like about Song cutting my hair is the simplicity of it. I'm a man who gets his haircut every 6 to 8 weeks. No perms, no coloring, nothing. I want the same cut... every time. Maybe a little shorter in the summer... maybe. And that's what I get with Song. I get in, I get out. Chit-chat if you like, silence if you're not in the mood to talk. Either way, in 25 minutes or less I'm walking out of there feeling good. Professional, skilled and reliable. This is a satisfied customer. The shop is local so I don't need to drive far. I can even walk there. It's clean, well lit. Nothing too fancy and the prices are very reasonable. Try it out!
