I finally got a cut by Michele today. I have one word to describe my experience, "love". I love the salon, the atmosphere, the quality of service and most of all I love Michele. Excellence is @ Michele & One read more

Bad experience. Nice and friendly person but my color was way over done and the cut was horrible even after going back for her to try and fix it. Not what I was looking for and not my cup of tea but she apparently appeals to many. Just not me. I had to wait to have another skilled stylist correct not only the horrible color but the terrible cut as well. Now I am extremely happy. I would never go back. read more

I moved here 3 years ago and am so thankful I found this place! I made the mistake of spending less money in attempt to save and went to Hairzoo, only to have ugly orange highlights and months of regret! You get what you pay for! My first time was with Michele, and I loved hearing her story and passion about creating a talented and calm space for her art. She is compassionate and great at serving her clients! Loved my hair after! It's really a wonderful, clean, and serene spot. The last two times I was with Ali, and I loved my hair each time! As a busy stay at home mom, I usually only get my hair done once in a while so having it look good for the long term is a must. The first time around I specifically came in bc I was getting some family photos done for the holidays. I had some long layers and balayage (I'll attach some of the family photos done by Alyssa Vanzo Photography so people can see!) Most recently I came in to get my hair darkened and shorter. I'll be back again as a regular client! Also-- congrats to Ali & her upcoming wedding! Wishing Ali a special day, and even more wonderful marriage! read more

Michele & One L - Blow Dry/Out Services Near Me - Rochester, New York

Michele will FOREVER have my business!!! I arrived late to my appointment, afraid I wasted her time. Yet, when I walked in she welcomed me immediately with a huge smile on her face. She made me feel so comfortable and help me decide on the hair cut I wanted. She took the time to show me how to style it they way she did, showing me the tools and products that would help me achieve the look. She was so kind and thoughtful, bringing me a water while she styled my hair. I will definitely be returning! read more

JUST AN FYI they have moved to to a new location and are no longer on Park Ave.. they are on Atlantic ok.. this new space is light and bright. High ceilings and beautiful wood floors. When you come in you have a large sofa to sit and wait the colors are soft, whites/ gray/pink. What's nice is you get more natural light and a bigger space for clients and staff. Still great service as always. Michele and her group of stylists are well trained and fabulous. They are always great getting back to you if you request and appointment on the app. They always seem to always get me in and I am grateful! Blowouts are fabulous and if a stylist can't do a good one don't let them near your hair.. read more

Finally found my perfect hairstylist. Michele is not only amazing at knowing just the right color, cut and style to make you look great- she's also down-to-Earth, friendly and gets ME! I had such a great experience this morning and look forward to my next hair appointment. Parking is easy, located in a perfect neighborhood- close to everything. And for those of you who are wondering all COVID-19 precautions are put in place and full adhered to. I HIGHLY recommend giving Michele a try- I'm almost certain you will not regret it! read more

Jayme always makes sure I am taken care of! A little background: Having moved several times and going back and forth between home and Rochester for school, I have hopped around from salon to salon trying to find the right fit. That was until I met Jayme. For 3+ years, Jayme has done a phenomenal job with my cuts and color as I transitioned from having long to shoulder length hair. My color and hairstyle always look fantastic. Not only is she incredibly kind, sweet, and friendly, but also extremely knowledgable about products, techniques, and color. She has gone above and beyond to listen and give me pointers for maintenance at home, and teach me how to recreate blowouts and perfect waves at home (I'm talking mini-training sessions with her guiding me as I use her curling iron!) She goes out of her way to take care of her clients; she has picked up special products for my hair that I have requested. She's even helped me find my next hair salon in preparation for my upcoming move that's 5+ hours away. I fully plan to continue booking appointments with her when I am in town. Jayme is amazing at her craft and is hands down the best stylist I've ever had. I will miss her DEARLY! read more

I got my hair cut and colored by Ali in September and I'm still obsessed with it! I wanted a complete change to go from a balayage to a nice fall brown. She nailed it. I'm always so nervous to try different salons but Ali made me feel confident and at peace right away. She is hilarious and truly just a beautiful soul. She checked in with me throughout the entire process to ensure she was doing what I envisioned. I've never been able to go this long without maintenance and still love my hair..it's grown out perfectly. Definitely recommend and will be going back to her soon! read more

Michele & One L - Absolutely love my hair.. cut (trim with layers) and warm fall brown done by Ali - Blow Dry/Out Services Near Me - Rochester, New York

** revision from my previously frustrated review The owner reached out and fixed my hair after I was frustrated. Michele was very nice and styled my hair exactly how I like. I will probably look to have her do my hair in the future read more

With salons on nearly every block in the city, I'm delighted to have chosen this one! Michele is a master at cutting & coloring and will help you achieve the look you crave in this adorable salon next to Edibles on University & Atlantic Avenues. She also offers a mini-keratin treatment for that silken look. read more

Disappointed. I wanted my hair colored to match my natural white/gray tone. Ended up with more of a blonde harsh tone. I initially thought it was ok and would lighten further. It did not. I have some natural curl to my hair and my stylist kept referring to applying product and not breaking the capsule. I was too shy to ask what that meant. I was anticipating that she would recommend products to meet this goal. This just was not the "salon" experience I was expecting. read more

Love coming to this salon! It is always a relaxing and fun atmosphere and there is always plenty of space so even during Covid I have felt so comfortable coming in spending the time to get my hair done. Everyone is lovely but Alex is especially wonderful! She has done color and cuts on me since she got to the salon and I can honestly say I have loved it all. She is always great during the consultation giving me suggestions and looking at pictures with me so we get the perfect style and she is always great at letting me know a price estimate before she starts anything. She is truly a genius with color and excellent with cuts as well. She is always kind and fun and remembers things about me from one appointment to the next. So nice to find some one so talented, kind and funny! I have even gotten my mom to come to Alex and she has been wonderful with her too! Highly recommend!! read more

Customer Service: Michele got back to me within 5 minutes of me sending an inquiry via Yelp! I was so impressed. Salon: cute and comfortable, it has character as do the staff! The products also smell great and everyone is welcoming; Jayme was a great host by asking me if I needed anything the moment I walked in. The wash: Jayme was gentle and careful; I have a sensitive scalp and she also listened to the fact that I had keratin treatment and used products accordingly. The blowout: it turned out great! It held so well I'm still wearing it a day later. Not a critique but an observation, her style is different than what I have experienced elsewhere. She first blew my hair out and then curled it, versus some salons curl via a brush while they blow out. This probably allowed me hair to stay longer and fall well, it looked amazing after an hour or two (she was well aware I had some downtime prior to my event). My only critique: Jayme missed a few pieces of hair that remained straight and she caught a few and fixed them before I left. When I got home I found a couple other pieces but once I ran my fingers through my hair, you couldn't even tell. read more

I went for haircut and color with Jayme. It was amazing! I loved the result and she was so sweet and took such a good care of me. Jayme took the time to understand what I wanted and explained to me how she would do it. I'd definitely recommend this salon, it's fantastic! read more

Michele & One L - Haircut and color - Blow Dry/Out Services Near Me - Rochester, New York

What a cute little place this is!! I have hated my haircut for a while now, and I was really hoping that One L could help me save it. I booked my appointment with Hannah and I loved all of it: the environment, the people, the results! Hannah was so warm and welcoming, wanted me to send her pictures, so she could get an idea of what I wanted, etc... I am in love with my hair now. Hannah did an amazing job, and she got rid of most of weird layers in my hair without chopping ALL of it off. She did a great job texturizing my hair, and she cut off the awkward lower length of it that was flipping out. I would definitely 10/10 recommend this place if you need a new salon! read more

I had my lashes curled and am sooo happy with the job Alex did. The salon is so pretty and girlish. I will be going back again to try another treatment! read more

I always have such a great experience here! I stopped in the other day and Michele did an amazzzing job on my hair. She always listens to what I am looking for and always exceeds my expectations. I leave with beautiful, shiny hair. The salon itself has a welcoming feel from the moment you walk in. It's definitely a place to check out! read more

So, i tried to dye my hair but completely messed it up so I went to Michele as I knew no one would be able to fix it but her. With the team work of the best hair stylist I ever met (Michele) and Ben, my hair turned out to be the best looking hair style I have ever seen! Michele's work with drying the hair as well as cutting my hair was phenomenal. Ben was also a big help with dying my hair as well. If you ever need a hairstylist or someone to dye your hair I severely recommend to go here as this place was on another level to any salon I have ever been to. The store was extremely clean as well and the staff was super kind. read more

Love this place and all the staff. They are all so amazing. I have been getting my hair done by Jayme for several years, so when it was time to bring my curly haired babe I was so excited to share this experience with her. Always Clean and professional service I wouldn't go anywhere else to get my hair done. read more

First time at this salon and it exceeded all my expectations. Michele is amazing!! She took the time to discuss my hair care options. I went with her recommendation and I am in love with my new color and style!!! The salon is super clean and cozy. I am definitely a customer for life !!! read more

I went to Michele and one L on Saturday. I'm new to the area and was hoping to find a salon to go to. I have read nothing but great reviews from this salon. I also have a friend who loves going here so I thought I'd give it a try. I've never dyed my hair before so I was unsure of what I wanted. The hairstyle was very friendly and gave me recommendations based on my hair (I have wavy/curly hair). She recommended caramel highlights (which I thought was a great idea). She suggested she free hand the highlights because she stated it would be best to preserve my curls vs foil. I wish I could say I loved the outcome but frankly I don't. Maybe it just wasn't the right style for me. However, there are large and small spotty highlights toward the front of my head and nothing toward the back. Not to mention my curl pattern has lost its shape and its very dry! Does this mean it's damaged from bleach? Like I said, I've never had dye in my hair before so I'm unsure. Also, I asked for a bob haircut and the cut is very uneven. I was at the salon for almost 4hrs so I didn't want to have the stylist change anything especially since I was in a time crunch. I thought that giving myself some time to adjust to the new style would help but it hasn't read more

I am absolutely obsessed with this place! I went here to get my hair dyed for the very first time, and now I'm addicted! I have worked with both Michele and Jaime and they both are absolutely amazing at what they do! They brought my vision to life and made it look even more amazing than what I would've expected it to! I can never go anywhere else after working with them!! read more

Hey readers! I just moved to upstate NY about three weeks ago from southern California where I'd been with the same stylist for seven years. As you can imagine I was very hesitant about someone new so I spent about three days searching yelp and reading reviews until I decided to make an appointment with Michele at One L Salon. I just had my appointment two days ago and I'm so glad I called!! She was amazing - knowledgeable about color, styling and knowing exactly what I needed given I was brand new to her and this area. I booked my next appointment before I left, need I say more :)! Don't hesitate if you're new. She's awesome and her salon is absolutely adorable - you'll love it! read more

Sarah is OUTSTANDING! No one is allowed to touch my hair but Sarah. I always feel like I've experienced a makeover. I love to see the transformation. She's a true professional and understands hair. The salon is charming. Love the decor. Everyone is so genuine and welcoming. read more

I have been coming to this salon for awhile now and the owner Michelle has been doing my hair. She does an amazing job but unfortunately she does not follow the prices listed on her website. The prices have been raised 3 different times now mysteriously for reasons I don't think our fair. I have been paying for extra color and for the type of color she uses and now I am supposed to pay a extra 45$ for what I am not sure? I guess being a devoted client does not mean much to this salon. So make sure to get a price quote ahead of time! read more

Had the most amazing experience and everyone was so sweet! I'm from California and was coming to a wedding in Rochester. I needed a blowout and this place was one with some of the best prices and reviews! I made my appointment directly on yelp and got a call back within the same hour! Michelle, the owner, did my hair and couldn't have been more amazing. If you need a cut, color, or quick blowout, this is the place you want to come! Everyone is so sweet and welcoming as soon as you walk into the door, if I'm ever back in Rochester, I will definitely be back here! read more

I had an awesome experience at One L Salon! I was in Rochester for a friend's wedding and I wanted a fun braided updo type of style. Luckily I was able to book an appointment for a Sunday morning with Jayme. I was so happy with the outcome, my hair really looked beautiful! Jayme was so sweet, funny, and talented. The salon was very cute and the customer service was top notch! PS- the picture of my hair is at the end of the night 10+ hours later and it still looks perfect! read more

Hannah did a fantastic job on my hair! I had a great deal of it cut off and she cut it in a way that made it look more voluminous, and she gave me really flattering layers. She also gave me great advice about how to style it myself at home. She didn't push me to buy me any hair products either which I also appreciated. I will definitely go back here in the future! read more

Came in really nervous for a very daring hair cut -- they nailed it! Went from long brown hair to a short European cut with fringe bangs :) Thanks Michelle! read more

Went for a blowdry and styling before a wedding, Hannah was a magician- my hair went from wet to perfectly voluminous bouncy curls in 25 minutes and held up a night of dancing! Highly highly recommend this salon! Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. Already looking for an excuse to go back! read more

I chose this salon because of all of the positive Yelp reviews, and I was not disappointed. When I first walked in I was warmly welcomed. The atmosphere there is very inviting. Something I noticed that I've never found at another salon is that all of the stylist are genuine, they get along, and aren't catty to each other in any way. They joke around with each other and seem very comfortable. I also LOVED that they didn't try to sell me any products. In my experience salons try to pressure you into buying a product they have, which is something I don't really like. Hannah was my stylist, and she did an AMAZING job. She made me feel very comfortable, and by the end of my appointment I felt like we had known each other for years. I got my hair colored and trimmed. I showed Hannah a photo of the color I wanted and she went straight to work. I explained to her that I tried to get this color in November at a different salon but they weren't able to achieve it. This was the first time she worked with my hair so she underestimated how (unusually) well my hair would take to the lifting (this was the first time I've had my hair lightened), so it did lift a bit more than she expected. When I got home that night, I realized my hair was a bit more vibrant than I wanted. I contacted Hannah that night and she got back to me almost right away. She graciously fit me into her schedule the very next day and perfected it to the exact color I wanted. The whole time Hannah was professional, but very comfortable and friendly. I would recommend this salon to anyone, but more specifically, I would highly recommend Hannah. I never once felt uncomfortable and I am beyond happy with my color. read more

Always above and beyond my expectations! Words are not enough to describe the precise detail and effort put into coloring and cutting my hair by Michele!!!! I have never in my life been more satisfied and pleased with any hair stylist other than Michele. The moment you step into her salon you feel warmth and joy with the attitude and ambience of her employees and establishment. She always exceeds my expectations and her detail in what she does is like no other! I can not express this enough. Thank you Michele!! You truly are the best!!!! read more

I messaged Michele on the Yelp app last week and she managed to squeeze me in before my vacation this week. She was extremely accommodating with times. Jessica gave me balyage, no other salon has been able to lighten my hair as much as she did (I'm naturally a dark brunette). It still looks healthy too! After I reached out a few days later to schedule an appointment to fix a teensy problem, Jessica saw me really quickly and was really sweet about it. This is the best service I've had at any salon in Rochester! read more

I keep saying it because cannot say enough how much I love this salon and the stylists that work here! When you let your wonderful stylist/magician, Michele, cut 3 inches off your hair and then get a blow out you see how awesome you look. But when you let the curls come back and you are even MORE awesome, you have to just say thanks! read more

Michele & One L - 3 inches cut since the last pic (with the silver stripes) Best haircut ever for all of these curls! Thank you Michele! - Blow Dry/Out Services Near Me - Rochester, New York

I had been at sea for 6 months and was in town visiting family. My hair looked like Javier Bardem's in the new POTC movie. MIchelle, as sweet and unpretentious as one could be, went out of her way on a Monday to squeeze me in, and I could not have been happier. She diagnosed my ailments and cured them...better than my overpriced fancy pants Italian stylist in Palm Beach, Florida where I live. If only I could return to Rochester regularly for Michelle's magic touch. Her shop is very comfortable and centrally located in the CenterCity area and having taken a huge risk starting her own business, one built from the ground up, she is a testament to up and coming female entrepeneurs. If you are new to Rochester and don't know where to turn for your hair needs, I think you will be very pleased with One L and Michelle. read more

Jessica was my stylist and she was amazing. She gave me exactly what I asked for and left me perfect and blown put for less than $60. For a high end salon that is aaaaaahmazing. I got to meet their head of security a tiny, handsome, friendly boston terrier named Alfie while I chatted with the owner Michelle. Poor Jessica came from Farmington in the rain for my appointment but she was on time so we could gossip for our mutual love for Disney parks. Anywho the experience here is comfortable and cozy with a high level of service. Check it out soon! read more

I love Amie. She's the best, I've been going to her for 15 years. I always leave the salon loving my new cut. One L Salon is in a great location too. I highly recommend checking it out. read more
