I am compelled to write this review because of my profound disappointment at not getting the color transformation I was told could be achieved, because of the $1400+ I paid for the horrendous end result, and because of the lack of accountability and customer service recovery by Marissa, owner and stylist at Rebel Hair Studio. While I understand you might not get the exact color you envisioned when doing a transformation, there is a huge difference between that and not even getting in the color family and now having to live with the embarrassment of multicolored hair. And as a business owner and stylist there's no way Marissa can think these dreadful results are acceptable. I've included the picture shown to Marissa of what I dreamt (for over a decade) my hair could be and that she said she could achieve in 1 session. There are also pictures of the end results following the 1st color session (red/copper hair) and Final Session (5 DIFFERENT COLORS - bleach blonde, blond/copper, pink overtones, green stripes and dark brown along with my natural gray). Each encounter with Marissa was progressively more disappointing. She never appeared apologetic nor did she offer any consolation, on her own, for failing to deliver what she said she could and was paid for. Rebel's website says they love a challenge and that fixing hair disasters is their specialty. Well, Marissa created a hair disaster and then did not demonstrate a "geek out" commitment to making it right. Their site says "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and that's you." Well, I left the salon each time feeling anything but beautiful and now have damaged and horrible looking hair. I am limited to wearing my hair in a bun to conceal the atrocity that is my hair thanks to Rebel. 1st Visit - Hair Consult/Cut ($90.00): Marissa was informed I used Revlon dark brown box dye for years. Marissa stated she could do the transformation in 1 session (6-8 hours) at $100/hr. 2nd Visit - Color Transformation Appt. ($1000): At no time prior to or during this session did Marissa express any uncertainly about the deliverable she claimed she could achieve (gray hair). After lifting the color 2x she proclaimed "this is good, I can work with this color." 10+ hours later, the result was copper hair with green overtones. Marissa appeared unfazed. All she said was that it was the best we could do with the undertones from the box dye. Follow-up Call: To my disbelief, Marissa asked if I liked the color. I reiterated that I was devastated and reminded her it's was not what I paid for; it wasn't even in the gray color family. Marissa's suggestion: to dye it all dark -which made it seem like Marissa just wanted to move quickly past this fiasco instead of fixing it .When I told her that would negate 6 months of grow out and $1000+ already paid, she then offered lifting the color one last time. When asked about cost, if any, without hesitation Marissa said $100/hr. rate. No ownership of her failed deliverable or any offer to correct the botched color job for which she already received full payment. Only after I told her it was unfair to charge me that she reluctantly offered $60/hr. 3rd Visit - Color Correction Appt. ($330): Upon arrival Marissa said that she did not want me to be mad at her so she was going to offer me the $60/hr rate (as if her idea or she was doing me a favor because I was recommended by a family friend). This time around Marissa made sure to use CYA language and said she could not promise anything at this point. I would just have to accept whatever the outcome was. Unbelievable that a professional and beauty salon owner would show such callousness to a distraught customer and utter disregard for the disastrous results she delivered at her own salon. read more

Who needs a hair guru in the cleanest, friendliest and safest COVID FREE environment? I did after missing my March hair appointment. My hair GREW & turned grey. I had to consult with Rebel's owner, Marisa, for some desperately seeking advice. I have been following Marisa since 2014 from Serenity, Gumdrop, to now her very own luxury salon. Once I chatted with her she told me to come in for appointment so she can give me an honest opinion in person. Once I booked my appointment I got notifications right away saying what will be done with my appointment reminder. That notification was followed up with a COVID survey release form through Google forms, which asks you questions such as, Have you been in contact with anyone with the virus?, Have you been out of the state?, What's your contactless form of payment?, etc. The form is thorough, but NOT invading in anyway. Once you arrive in your free parking space, you call from your car and someone from the salon will come down to unlock the door, but only if you're wearing your mask. The employee who is also masked will take your temperature and make you sign off on another release form with your current temperature recorded. Hand sanitizer is by the door and the employee locks the door behind you so no one can walk in from off the street. Once you go upstairs there is at most 7 people in the salon at one time, which include an employee behind the reception desk, three stylists working diagonally from each other and their clients in the chairs. One customer might be waiting for the dye to process while sitting on another wall side facing in the opposite direction. I felt very comfortable with the spacing of masked employee/client ratio. During the haircut process, Marisa was very thorough with wearing gloves, a face shield on top of her mask and cleaning all chairs and things I touched. There was also hand sanitizer at her station for me to use if I felt I needed it. Of course, Marisa worked her magic and gave me a really healthy haircut. Afterwards, she suggested products, which she pulled off the shelf to make sure it was contactless on my end. After they processed my contactless payment, (card was stored from the Google form mentioned earlier) I received an email receipt with the breakdown of service and product. I was also able to book my next appointment! I was walked downstairs for an employee to unlock the door and let the next client in. Long story short, if you are having any hesitation in finding a great friendly hair salon that knows how to perform flawlessly under our current COVID-19 Stage 2 restrictions, Rebel Hair Salon is the place to find comfort knowing that they are doing everything possible to keep everyone involved safe, while performing guru hair magic! I highly recommend this business. I promise you will not be disappointed! read more

Okay, so I've already written about the quality at this salon, the loving/accepting atmosphere, the passion of the owner and staff, etc. But today I want to review "the new normal" of COVID protocols. I haven't taken part in going out to eat or other activities requiring being close to others. However, when I read about all the precautions Rebel is taking, I felt safe going to get a haircut. And I was right! You can clearly tell that a ton of research and forethought has gone into their protocols. They have it running well and efficiently. And, despite the fact the masks cover our smiles, the staff still showed warmth through their words and the extra attention they put towards making sure everything was clean and sanitized. My hair looks awesome, and I have no concerns about my health or safety. Thanks Marisa and the rest of the Rebels! read more

I came to Rebel with a hair-mergency. I had about three months grown out platinum blonde hair with orange banding. I met Marissa for a consultation and she squeezed me in for the week after for my service. She knocked it out of the park, the results were beautiful, and I felt beautiful. After that appointment, I knew I found my colorist for life. Marissa and the entire Rebel staff are so welcoming, warm, and honestly, fun to be around. Thank you for everything, Rebel Hair Studio! read more
