You know that moment when you book an appointment because of Yelp and then realize the hair dresser your going to has 0 reviews? Well, then stay with me here for a moment. Ashley is fantastic. She's knowledgable about cuts and is conservative with her cutting for short hair. I am in the process of growing out a pixie which is awful, but Ashley reshaped my mom-bob into a trending angled cut. They are authentic and kind at this salon. Bonus: they close at 6, but stayed open late to get me in. Atmosphere: the atmosphere is in progress, so don't be surprised if it doesn't fit the cookie cutter salon environment. read more

My previously great experience at this salon was repeated when I returned last month. Amy actually remembered me from the last time (over 6 months earlier), and she did an awesome job again. At first, I thought her styling was a little over-done, but an hour later my hair settled into a great look. Her recommendation for keeping my bangs longer was right-on - after I washed my hair, it looked perfect. read more

Trying to find a good hairstylist is like trying to find a doctor...impossible!! We have moved a ridiculous amount of times due to job transfers, our latest being in Colorado. That being said I will travel to New Orleans to see Amy to get my hair cut. I've been on the receiving end of a bad haircut too many times and truly appreciate a good cut and color. Not only did I LOVE my cut and color from Amy but received amazing compliments. It's refreshing to have someone cut your hair And have a sincere opinion on what is best for you!!! read more

Got an amazing cut and color from Katie! It's such a cute, friendly place, and so so reasonably priced! They're all super nice! Katie totally fixed my color and gave me more dimension instead of looking like one big highlight, and she spent a lot of time cutting my hair to make sure I knew exactly how short I wanted it. She told me to give the new length a week's test run before taking anymore off, and I could come back in anytime after that if I thought I wanted it shorter--such a personalized and intimate experience; I love it! read more

Pure Salon - thanks to Katie Goens for giving me an amazing blow out, my hair looked great last night! - Hair Salons Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

What can you say about someone who helped you "find you"? Amy listened to me and gave me what I needed! Every time I look in the mirror I am happy, I LOVE my color!!! My teenage sons actually complimented me too and that's saying a LOT. Some people are just gifted with being able to do color and Amy is one of the gifted ones! Parking is a little hard, especially now that the students are back, so give yourself a few extra minutes. read more

Found this place off of yelp and so glad I did! Katie fixed my highlights and cut from a previous place! I loved her personality and skills so much I decided to use her for my wedding 2 weeks later instead of the people I'd originally booked! So not only is she great at color and cutting but also at updos. Everyone was so happy with their hair. read more

I've been going to Amy for about a year now, and she delivers every single time! I stumbled across Pure (now named Bryce Anderson Salon) while searching on Yelp and saw all the great reviews and decided to give it a try. I've received cuts, color, and the keratin treatment from Amy, and they've all been wonderful! She also does her best to accommodate you with her busy schedule. She definitely does the most for her clients. If you're in need of a new stylist, Amy won't disappoint! read more

I moved to New Orleans in August and have been trying to find a hair salon. I finally found it! I have super thick, wavy hair, and it is a beast to cut -- a bad hair cut is really noticeable. I saw Cheryl at Pure Salon and she did an amazing job! She really took the time to cut it right, and she even straightened it for me. The only downside is the price, but I think it was well worth it to get a really amazing haircut. Everyone at the salon was super nice. I definitely recommend it! read more

Listen people, I am possibly the worst hair salon client of all time. I'm overly picky, like to change my hair style and color every few weeks, and have completely inflated expectations of what sort of aesthetic transformation is possible in a given session. That said, Amy took my long, dark brown hair to a blonde bob with bangs in under two hours, and I came out looking (self-call alert) fantastic. Highly, highly recommended. OH, and bang trims are free, lest you be tempted to have at your new fringe with a pair of garden scissors. read more

I went to Pure Salon for the first time yesterday and Amy, the owner, gave me the best haircut I've ever had. Period. I view haircuts as an unavoidable nuisance because I don't like she-she settings where products and services are shamelessly peddled. (Have you tried our facials? Would you like to get your eyebrows waxed? My answers always are no and no.) Pure Salon is one large room that is industrial chic, functional, and extremely comfortable. A simple drop-cloth curtain separates the washing area. It is intimate, not intimidating. My hair is a challenge. It's super fine and sadly straight, but Amy managed to style a beautiful, carefree haircut. Since it was my first visit, we went through lots of pictures and she asked about my hair-keeping routine, or lack of. She began cutting only after she had a clear understanding of what I wanted as well as the amount of time I would spend on my hair. The axiom "You get what you pay for" is not always correct, especially in haircuts. Yes, cheap haircuts inevitably look cheap, but expensive ones can be costly disappointments. Amy's pricing is more than fair, especially when I consider the huge amount of time she spent on me. As she styled my hair, she explained what she was doing (since I obviously had no clue) and why. She also wanted feedback: Is this short enough? Would you like your bangs to slant more? Now for the color: When I ask for partial highlights, I stress the adjective. Amy listened and my highlights are subtle and wonderful. Parking is a problem in this mainly residential area, but don't let that deter you. Pure Salon is a hidden treasure. read more

My phenomenal hairdresser Amy Anderson makes me feel like a queen every time I leave Pure....I get compliments on my hair from teenagers and I'm a 52 yr old grandma whose been teaching 28 yrs! How awesome is that! Can't wait for it to be my one stop shop for mani/pedi and waxing when the annex NEAT wax bar opens soon! read more

I got a great haircut from Chris James the other day. He not only knows what he's doing/talking about, but he's also just a blast. Have already recommended the place to my friends, and booked my next appointment there. read more

I really like this salon. The atmosphere is great. The salon is modern, relaxed and clean and they only do hair. Katie has been my hair stylist since I moved here (almost two years ago now). She's does really beautiful color, gives a really good haircut and I love the way she styles my hair. I always walk out feeling great and I get lots of compliments after my appointments. You can tell Katie enjoys and takes pride in what she does because she really listens to you and provides a great customer experience. I highly recommend Pure to anyone looking for a no-nonsense hair salon with top-notch service. read more

It was tricky to find, but I got a really cute haircut, wash, highlights, and blowout for about $130. That's a little pricey for me but it was definitely high quality. I loved the atmosphere, and you can browse their small clothing boutique and enjoy refreshments while you wait. I'm only giving it 3 stars because I was on time to my appointment and had to wait over an hour. read more

I rarely write Yelp reviews, but this place is so wonderful- I can't recommend it highly enough. Amy was awesome. I went in to get highlights, for the first time ever- I've never done anything to my hair color-wise, ever, and I was very nervous about it. I'm very shy, and I wanted to make sure that they would look very natural, subtle, and yet still noticeable and enhancing. Amy was very careful to ascertain exactly what I wanted, and I was so happy with it! I was still a bit nervous about such a change, and when I saw the finished product I was so happy with it! They looked so natural and so effortless, not streaky or fake or anything of the sort. I can't wait to go back and maintain this look. If you have ANY hair needs, go here! It's such a lovely low-key place, too, very down-to-earth and comfortable. read more

I had high hopes for this salon after seeing a wealth of 5-star reviews, unfortunately I did not have the same experience. The staff was nice enough but my hair dresser did not understand how to work with curly hair. It ended up costing me a fortune and I didn't realize how uneven it was until I got home. I had to go to another salon to get it fixed. I am sorry I wasted so much time, money and risked the health of my hair on an unexperienced stylist. Never again. read more

Amy had been referred to me by a dear friend whose latest haircut is so on point! I've been to so many places in this darn town--uptown, downtown, mid city, Marigny, broadmoor, Metairie--and have been failed by everyone for some reason or another. But not by Amy! I can't believe it!! Finding someone who understands an aesthetic I aspire to despite being a bit of a mess is like finding a long lost friend. Her talents deserve praise and accolades. Woo-hoo!! I found someone who is a genuinely nice person, smart, and can cut my hair. I've already booked my next appointment. A first!! P.S. I love the new digs too. read more

I have gone to Amy (I think that's her name; the lady in the middle chair) three, maybe 4, times in the last six months or so. She always does a decent job and doesn't chop off all my hair (I just get my hair trimmed). HOWEVER, I will not be returning after today. I made an appointment for 11 am. I arrived ten minutes early because it's hard to gauge how long it will take to find parking in the area. I then waited THIRTY MINUTES past my appointment time (so, 40 minutes total) while she finished another customer. Zero explanations or apologies as I waited. To me, that's totally unacceptable. I value customer service and don't like to reward people who don't value my time or money. I still tipped 15% (I usually tip 20%) because I feel guilty not tipping. But I found the lack of communication plus the lack of apology/explanation completely unprofessional and rude. No thanks. I'm sure I can find someone to trim my hair for $50 somewhere else in this city. read more

I had very long and thick hair with old highlights and color and was looking for a hair cut and re coloring. Amy did an amazing job!!! She cut and styled my hair just the way I wanted it and did a great job introducing me to balayage! It was $145 for a haircut, balayage, wash and blow dry which is the best value for a hair salon I've ever had! Can't recommend her enough she was super nice! read more

I've been going to Amy for years. She does a great job on hair that is both long and short. Pure is very down to earth and chic at the same time. read more

I can only amplify the other reviews. Pure is just right of you are someone who doesn't like the hyper salon experience and just want your hair cut but don't need your ego to be stroked in the process. Best of all, results are what makes you feel good. I have never felt so confident after a hair cut and that's a lot of hair cuts. read more

I just got a beautiful long bob cut w great angling to accentuate my cheeks by Rose. She is amazing very easy to talk to and so great at her job. I just instantly felt at ease and I really hate finding a new stylist. I have a great many really bad and some just meh cuts. She did an amazing job and I left bouncy and pert. Thank you, Rose! read more

Haven't gotten a trim in years and was totally unfamiliar with the salons in the area. Randomly chose Pure Salon and I'm so glad I did! Katie did an amazing job. I came in with dead, bleached ends, thinking I was going to have to get a serious cut, but I left with a good amount of my length. Even my old dye job looked way better, without any adjustment to the color. Highly recommend! read more

Can't recommend this salon enough! After over three years in New Orleans this was my first cut here (would always visit my salon back home) and I'm so glad I chose Pure Salon. Got a cut by Amy and not only was she a pleasure to talk with but she made every effort to give me the cut I wanted. And she succeeded because the length and style was exactly what I was going for. Will definitely be back! read more

Amy is wonderful, I can not recommend her enough. Not only is she a wonderful stylist but she is also great to talk to- no awkwardness. My blonde hair is super hard to color, as it gets brassy when almost anyone touches it. Except for Amy!!! not only does she not make my hair brassy, she is able to put (and maintain) a beautiful color in my hair. She has also fixed my brassy color when I went away for the summer and got a bad root job in Miami. She is the best, I can recommend her enough. Also- she is not one to chop off hair. She takes off what you ask and no more, which is rare. As someone with long hair- and who wants to keep my hair long- that means a lot to me. read more

Argerie has been my hair stylist for years. Every time she does my hair I leave looking and feeling amazing. She is a guru with scissors. My cuts always come out perfect. A few times I've let her cut it any way she wants to and I'm never disappointed. I highly recommend you try this stylist. read more

I went to Katie to get a cut and color and it was amazing. Finding someone who can do reds really well is hard, but she spent a lot of time selecting the right color for me, and I love it. You cannot find better, more personalized service. She went out of her way to make this a great experience. read more

Ashley gives a consistently great haircut, and then takes the time to carefully wash and condition afterward. I really enjoy talking to her, as well! I highly recommend Ashley. read more

Just had my haircut there this morning with Katie. She couldn't have been nicer and worked so hard to get the cut exactly how I wanted it. I am so pleased with the way it came out!! I also donated my hair and they are going to send it out for me which I really appreciate because I hardly have any time to run to the post office during the weekdays. The space is beautiful, the staff is charming, and they do an exceptional job! 5 stars in my book. read more
