From the moment I spoke with Lisa at the front desk on the phone, she made me feel seen, heard, and completely at ease. Her kindness, patience, and reassurance helped calm my anxiety before I even came in for my consultation with Lindsey. It meant more than she'll ever know. A little compassion can make such a big difference, and I'm so grateful for the warm welcome. Lisa is so kind. Thank you Lisa I wish everyone was as kind as you are.

I hope this review helps a cautious girly who is considering a new style or hairpiece and is…read morelooking for reassurance: I went in extremely nervous, and I had a stellar experience at Noelle's. The salon is inclusive and can accommodate diverse needs. In addition to typical hair and extensions, they specialize in hair loss including trichotillomania and alopecia, as well as hair for transgender folks! I was relieved to feel the welcoming environment, not just with hairstylists, but also the other customers who come to Noelle's for both hair and acceptance. An added benefit, Noelle and team also "edit" the hairpieces to cover and prevent trichotillomania hair pulling to help with stopping. Noelle did my hair (pic attached) and let's just say I came in with way less hair and left looking extremely cute. I recommend: ask as many questions as possible, look at some examples/photos from the stylists to choose the one you like, and be honest and straightforward about the hair that you want-- they will accommodate. Make sure to check with the salon in advance to find out if you can do something same-day or if a piece needs to be ordered. Overall, I am very glad that I took the risk and put Noelle in charge of my hair! Highly recommend.

I walked into a very warm and family-esque environment, sweet ladies, conversations back and forth, was really surprised that this place even existed. Its a hidden gem off the corner of Rt 1, not much to look at immediately, but a traditional mom and pop kinda salon feel when you walk in. I arrived early, my hair-dresser finished up a little late, was in no rush so I was completely understanding. She listened to my concerns about getting a trim, cutting the dead ends off. She decided it was easier to do this after washing and styling and doing a dry cut. I trusted her expertise and went ahead with it. The wash was a bit rushed, there was an odd smell from the sink area, though I imagine it was because of the hair-dye that was lingering in the salon (it's a small place.) She conditioned following the wash, I didn't get a deep conditioner treatment but didn't make a point to say anything out of courtesy. She followed up with taking me back to my seat and immediately started to tackle the blow-dry in my very thick long hair. She did style is beautifully, she cut some of the ends off, she suggested my hair was in rather decent shape and didn't need much. I accepted her opinion, she was very polite and kind, and she finished up and offered some nice suggestions on how to close up my split ends. I closed off my tab with the Groupon, gave her a $10 tip and went on my way. Overall, not a memorable experience, I felt the whole thing (minus the hair styling portion) was rushed, I didn't get the deep conditioner which would've really been nice for my thick hair, and lastly, I could've honestly had more trimmed off my hair. She said it didn't need much, but when I got home I saw and felt the straw ends that really should've just been cut off. I'm going to have to wait a little bit and get a proper cut to make sure the dead ends are off. They're all very nice people here, I imagine they're amazing at their craft in different areas, my experience isn't necessarily a reflection on poor service, more-so could've just been an off day or maybe just bad luck with my hair.

Stumbled on Salon Hairapy on google. I called and got the okay to come from Troy the manager. Even if I still had to wait due to the fact that they are obviously amazing and busy!!! But when I tell you they saved my whole life - ha! I'm due for travel and needed my hair done. Thank you doesn't begin to highlight how thankful I am for this gesture.

I was told 90 dollars for a slick press, came in, and i guess around the store was posted that they had raised their price. however i didnt notice it and I didnt think it would apply to me as they told me over the phone that it was 90 dollars. I go to pay and i was confused and they told me they sent out an email to all their clients saying theyve changed their prices, I go well I didnt get an email, as when they asked for my information to confirm my appoinotment and didnt ask for my email.. so how would I have received this very important piece of information...? then i was like over the phone i was told 90 dollars and they were like they only have one person on the phone and they knew that it was 90 dollars, so they dont know who told me... I was gagged by that sound as they made it seem like i made up the whole situation! when you do go Id say make sure you ask how much your service and double check with them to know its the exact price they told you over the phone. However, the vibe was great before the paying situation, and I did love my hair... however, for 160 for a slick press... no thanks.
