UPDATE 2: I got in this time and got my long brown, and gray, updated. I absolutely love it. So glad I found this place! UPDATE 1: my daughters hair grew out perfect, and she loved it the entire time (not always the case with a short haircut when it starts to grow out a bit). Went back, got just as much happiness the 2nd time around. Still 5 STARS. This salon is fantastic. Br my teenage daughter here - to get her hair cut - short, like a pixie cut, a little edgy, a little cute, but not too edgy - she walked out beaming! THANK YOU AL! She's literally been smiling all afternoon. Love that Al took the time to get to understand what kind of style she wanted - he did not rush through the cut. Definitely will be back. And best of all, this salon welcomes everyone! An asset to Adams Ave.

My silly face, but my hair just looked, and felt, so good again!

I am so glad I read the Yelp reviews to find me a salon because they are right! Al is amazing and I will definitely be going to him from now on! I love that I have a fabulous hairdresser in my neighborhood! I am the type of girl who never knows what I want but have things I definitely don't and when I'm bored with my hair (that I've completely let go) I need someone who can make my hair fun again. Al came through! Not only does my hair look great but he made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in and I had no doubts he could make me feel beautiful again, thanks Al you rocked it!

before

I needed a change and one of my coworkers was sick of hearing me talk about it and recommended Al and it was the best luck I found him! Pretty much my whole life I wanted brightly colored hair but was afraid because I would have to bleach my dark brown hair to make it happen. Al was so knowledgeable and friendly and he had great suggestions to make my vision happen. I love, love, love it! I firmly believe you get what you pay for, and when your dealing with chemicals that can permanently altar the structure of your hair you really want someone who knows what they're doing. If your looking for a big, scary change or just want someone who will make you the best version of you then Al is your guy.

I love my hair! Thanks Troy

Al has a natural talent for hair design. His ability to give me a fabulous cut when I'm not sure what I want is impressive. Thanks, Al!

Went to see Al for a consultation to weigh out my options for my hair type and he was so kind and honest.

I came to kenalee with some really bad highlights and she did such an amazing job fixing my hair…read more she did a beautiful blend so the grow out was so amazing and very minimal damage. I moved away and I have yet to find a hairstylist that does such an amazing job! she's so sweet and very attentive to detail (:

i'm actually very sad writing this review because i was genuinely so excited for this appointment,…read morebut i can't believe how terrible the service and communication of this salon is. i had made an appointment in advance, and less than 24hrs before my scheduled time i received a text asking to move my appointment to an hour and a half later. i thought id be able to make it but didnt hear back. i then got a confirmation at 6:45am the morning of. i responded and said that i couldn't make the new time slot. no response. i then called right when they opened and explained my situation - my babysitter wasn't able to change her schedule in such short notice. the girl on the phone says "no problem" and asks if i want to reschedule. i said yes but that i would have to call back with a date. she's says 'ok' and cancels my appointment. what she failed to mention was that she was going to charge my card $220. now, i'm no stranger to a cancellation fee, however, i was unable to make it due to THEIR time change. also, if clients are expected to give 48 hours notice, shouldn't you be required to give the same notice? so i wasn't given the same courtesy AND you're going to charge me for it? and how the came up with $220 is a mystery because they've never even seen my hair, what color it is, how long it is etc...but anyways i call again and speak to the same girl. she tells me that it's up to the stylist and the manager to determine if i can get a refund or put it towards my next service - not only do i not know when that would be, but why would i ever want to go back there after this? i hear back from the same girl and, big surprise, they don't want to give me the refund. she asked if i wanted to speak to a manager and i said yes. oh well, "she's working at the salon so it won't be till like later." so i've been naively been sitting for hours waiting for this manager to call me. the salon closes at 8pm and here i am still waiting on that call. from what i can see, this place has pulled this type of service with others as well. i.e. cancelling someone's appointment 30 minutes before because their hair wasnt long enough...? or charging someone $100+ for a trim, or adding extra charges without being transparent. overall i'm just so disappointed because i was really looking forward to this. it was my first "treat" postpartum and now im out $200 for literally nothing.

I only care about my hair every couple years when I see the bottom looking like a haggard…read moremillennial witch's besom, so I didn't know where to go to treat myself since it's been quite a minute. Fortunately, I have low maintenance straight hair that doesn't get exposed to heat or extravagant styling. I literally wash, condition, apply smoothing serum as it dries, then I call it a day. I used to go to Hyde Edward, but they dropped the ball with my appts a couple times and my go-to girl skipped town so I never returned. Fast forward to me getting the scoop from the alt baddies at work and I hear of the Lab A. I looked at their IG and saw colorful promising things so I booked immediately. I like how the price ranges are upfront and also how they provide a stylist match quiz, because how would I ever know who's who and who's good at what? After finding my match, I drove on up and easily found FREE parking in the neighborhood. If you know your way around, you don't need to park in any garages or pay a meter. Just get your doomscrolling butt walking, it's only a block or two. Anyway, the place is clean and cute! I was a little intimidated at first because I haven't entered a salon in a while but the staff was pleasant and straightforward. Just like most salons worthy of an investment, they offer complimentary beverages during your service. It was only around midmorning for my appointment, otherwise I would've had wine instead of still water but I plan on coming back for a little season transition styling so woo hoo!

I got a haircut about two months ago, and I really loved my stylist and the overall experience…read more However, it was recently brought to my attention that my haircut is very uneven. I called to ask if it could be fixed, but I was told it would not be complimentary because of how much time has passed since the original appointment. I completely understand policies, but as a college student, haircuts are a luxury for me, so this is really disappointing. I was hoping there might be some flexibility or a way to make this right.
