Amati styled my hair in a soft flip which somehow magically stayed natural and beautiful throughout it all, and honestly continued into the beginning of the week. I did not have to do a thing with it. The salon itself is exceptionally clean and neat, the staff all seem to be having a lot of fun with each other, and Amati was adorable and lovely to work with. I highly recommend this salon.

If you seek a service-oriented, human approach to lateness or valid last-minute cancellations, this…read moreis definitely not the place for you. I booked an appointment online around 12pm for a same-day 2:30pm-3:30pm blowout appointment, hoping to make it work on a hectic day. Sweetroots has a 24-hour cancellation policy, yes, but they also have a 10-minute "grace" period policy so that if you are over 10 minutes late, you forfeit your appointment entirely but still pay for it in full. That seems insane especially in a situation where I, the client, was 15 minutes late (after calling ahead to give a heads up) and where I'd already shared that I was happy to get whatever she (the stylist) could manage within the allotted appointment time. She said that she wouldn't be able to do the full service because she had an appointment immediately after mine, which was fine and made sense. But then instead of trying to find a workable solution to the time constraint, she lectured me about the grace period policy, gave a 5-minute wash and a 5-minute bangs blowout, then stood silently at the front of the salon waiting for me to pay, all by 3:07pm. Why did she stop blowdrying at 3:07pm, you may ask, when I'd booked an appointment until 3:30pm? I'm honestly not sure, even after asking her this question. Based on her response though, it seems that her logic was: 1) I'd already forfeited my appointment by being an extra 5 minutes late so 2) she was doing me a favor by doing any styling work at all. I suppose if she were following the policy exactly, she would take $60 for zero services rendered even when there are 45 minutes left in the appointment. Nothing about her tone or attitude felt welcoming or understanding. I find it confusing when someone in a client services job shows such little care, flexibility, or good faith when interacting with a customer. Anyway, while I regret booking this appointment, I went, I paid, and I will absolutely never return.

I haven't had a consistent stylist for the past few years and have tried several different salons that were just okay. Kassidey is friendly, knowledgeable, and can flat iron some hair! I asked her to add curls at the end, and she worked her magic. She gave me the most beautiful curls that lasted TWO DAYS!!! Seriously, two days, and I did absolutely nothing to them. My daughter's hair is curlier than mine, and I already told her she needs to make an appointment with Kassidey when she comes home for winter break. Kassidey is officially my go-to stylist, and I couldn't be happier to have finally found someone I trust with my hair. Highly recommend her, especially if you have textured hair.

Loved this appointment! This salon is located near my old apartment and is very nice!…read more The salon is very neat, well lit, stocked with lots of products. This was my first appointment here and I was with the Hair Stylist Danielle. The appointment was long but I loved the amount of care and effort she put into cutting my hair. I wasn't rushed or anything! I had the sudden urge to cut off all my hair into a bob after seeing my current hair in a picture of me in the sun... My hair was BAD .. I could see the color difference between my natural hair growing out and the old bleached hair that I dyed a chocolate brown. I was panicked when I saw this in my picture... It was literally looking at two separate people's hair. YIKES.. Danielle saved the day! I usually have a tough time finding a good stylist but I'm glad I trusted Danielle with this transition from long to short hair. I've never cut my hair this short .. but I was happy about the results!! She did so well!! I loved it! I'll be back soon for a trim!! Glad I found BIBO Salon! Danielle saved the day!

They just had a cancellation and said they could take me in 2 hours. I am very picky about my hair as I have baby fine hair that any accidental cut can lead to a bald spot. I have only ever had 2 other hairdressers I have loved. Diane was AMAZING. She was very concerned about not damaging my hair during the bleaching process and was very sweet. As soon as she washed out the bleach I could tell the platinum was going to come out perfect which never happens. She was also amazing with her cutting skills. She had taken a before and after (I know I was really due for a cut) and I was shocked about just how badly it was needed. Highly recommend her and was very impressed in general. Will definitely be back.

It's nice to go in and be pampered (complimentary coffee, tea, beer or champagne)! I also love how exclusive the salon feels, there aren't a ton of people running around inside the salon, and because the salon is directly on the street you don't have to feel like you're in a fish bowl with foils in your hair. I also have to say that I LOVE the washing station chair, I know it's a weird thing to love but it is so comfortable (you'll get what I mean when you go). Couldn't speak more highly of Sarita and her services!!
