    Perfect pedicure from Miss Charlotte at Rocket Science Salon~ wonderful personalized attention to detail, she also focused on some rough spots on my feet as well as scrub and relaxing massage. Easy conversation, I felt so pampered. Super personable assistant at the front desk, we were able to be fit in as walk ins. We were served a complimentary beverage, diverse magazine selection, cool recommendations on where to head to next. Couldn't be happier with the service and locale.

    Rocket Science is the BEST SALON in the city! Hands down. I'm super picky about my hair. Brittni has been styling my hair going on close to 4 years now. She is AMAZING! We have formed a friendship over the years, and I couldn't be more grateful. She is extremely talented, personable, and kind. I highly recommend this salon and Brittni, she is the best of the best! I would give this salon 100 stars if I could, the customer service and staff are amazing!

    Laura cut and colored my hair. She did a fabulous job! I haven't loved my hair this much in a really long time. I highly reccommend her and the salon.

    The camera-phone pic does NOT do it justice. And it looked even better the next morning with bed head!

    When I sat down in Savannah's chair yesterday, I simply said, "I've been Paris Parkered to death!" That means, in case you are not familiar, I am THROUGH with boring, "safe" haircuts. I chose Rocket Science based on Yelp reviews, and Savannah because she is the owner . . . I think that's the best way to get a salon's "vision." In her words (well, I'm paraphrasing), she trained the other stylists, so they know the same stuff, but they are all very creative and have their own way of doing things. The salon itself is really nice . . . very roomy, with a lot of natural light, and furnished adorably. I agree with Jess R . . . I wanted to move in! (plus, it's much cleaner than my place is after Mardi Gras . . .) From the shampoo (which was really fun, thanks to a rousing conversation about Jeff Goldblum) to the consultation, to the cut itself, to the style, this salon is the perfect combination of fun and professionalism. And they really are so creative! I sat down, explained my hair type and "round face issues," and Savannah basically asked me, "Do you mind if I chop some of this up, and how do you feel about looking like a rock star?" Well, I am not afraid of scissors, and the one thing I have tried to beat into the heads of other nameless stylists is, "I wanna look like a rock star!" So, I knew we were set. :-) Oh, and another thing . . . every other stylist I have visited in the past few years has told me the same thing: "You can't have bangs. Your forehead is too small." (I guess that makes it a threehead?) When I told Savannah this, she simply said, "Bullshit. There are bangs for everyone just like there is a blonde for everyone." And you know what? She was definitely right in my case! She gave me the most awesome side bangs EVER, and the whole cut is just incredible. I started out with long, straight hair (almost all one length, and BORING), and now I have a cute, funky STYLE that actually flatters my face! I cannot say enough good things about this salon, and Savannah. If I didn't have a wonky event planner schedule, I would have booked my next appointment before leaving the salon. You can bet I'll be back the minute it is time for my next cut . . . FINALLY, I have found the right salon, after years of "meh." Oh, and when I can afford to color my hair in wild hues, I will be back for that too. These girls are gutsy, and they have skills! If you're looking for a new stylist, RUN, don't walk. I mean it. I can't say enough nice things about them. And check out the before and after pics I'm posting if you don't believe me!

    Yep. I love this place. Updating my review after having now been to Rocket Science three times - all for a haircut - with a fourth appointment coming up in a few days for some funky new color. The space is gorgeous. I've been seriously considering just showing up one of these days, laptop in hand, and claiming a spot on the couch as my "office." It's a bit odd, yes, but I've gotten the impression they'd totally be cool with me squatting there to do work. Even if I don't follow through on that plan, I love Rocket Science because the ambiance makes sitting still for 1-2 hours almost bearable. (As you can imagine, sitting still is not something that comes easily to someone like me...) My first haircut was FANTASTIC, and I've decided that Kat is definitely my new stylist. She's awesome about talking me through to a decision when I come in with no clue as to what I want done with my hair. The second time I went in for a haircut, I ended up seeing someone else, and I wasn't as happy with the result. I've found that oftentimes I end up disappointed when I go to get a cut/color, but don't have a solid plan for the stylist. As a result, I end up giving vague instructions, and inevitably I'm not happy with my hair. But Kat is totally able to handle that kind of situation, and I love that she's able to help me come up with an idea when I literally haven't the foggiest notion of what I want, other than something new and different. So, two appointments in one week. Got my hair cut last night (for $49), and I'm going in later this week for color (which will be $75, I'm told, based on the partial highlight/dying the tips of my hair platinum blonde plan we came up with.) You've earned that fifth star, Rocket Science. Keep being awesome!

    It usually takes me a while to find a hairstylist that I love. I just moved to New Orleans from Austin and was really worried that it would forever to find one I like here. I tried Rocket Science first because their website has a robot on it... I love robots. I picked Savannah Blue because she was the most expensive and that usually means the best. She is. My hair is exactly what I wanted and I'm really picky.

    Let me first start off in saying what a great experience I had here. The environment was comforting and fun, all the stylists were down to earth, and I definitely left at the end of the day with a smile on my face. I'm in the process of growing out my pixie cut, and getting my mullet tamed was the main reason in booking this appointment. My hair is at an awkward length bellow my ears and above my chin, and since I'm growing it out, my hair stylist, Andrea, ensured me a cut that was pleasant to grow out and yet still complimenting to my face. She also did something I thought I would never be able to pull off in 100 years. We dyed my hair purple, and trust me, words cannot express just how much I adore my new color. She kept my roots brown to make it easier to manage as I grown out my hair, and I'm just in love with the finished product. It took roughly 2 &1/2 hours for my whole cut and color, but time just flew by with there being so many friendly faces to talk to. The end product is just want I wanted, effortlessly vibrant purple with shades of silver. I just cannot expressed how wonderful it turned out. I can't thank Andrea enough.

    Gel acrylic nails by Paris
    Sara M.

    New to New Orleans, and was looking for a reliable place to get my acrylic nails filled. After digging through Yelp reviews at other salons, I decided to make an appointment with Paris - and was not disappointed!!! Make sure to make a reservation because she is the only person who does nails (acrylic or not) at the salon, but she was awesome! Paris was very friendly and welcoming, and professional at the same time. She was quick, and did a fantastic job. If you have acrylic nails, you know it can be hard to find someone who does a good job shaping and filling the nails, especially at the cuticle. Additionally, I also get gel on top of the acrylic, which again, Paris was very clean and professional about. I really couldn't find anything wrong with the way she did my nails - and I'm very picky. I only got them done yesterday, but the nail beds look like they're going to grow out very nicely, which is one of the most satisfying parts of finding Paris! Additionally, she has a large collection of regular and gel nail polishes, and she is always adding. Last but not least, you can't beat the price! $30 for a fill and gel, which, in my book, is a steal. I will certainly be back!!

    Shannon's inspired bang cut was so brilliant :)

Live out your Steel Magnolias fantasies here, y'all! And Jessica will be your Dolly Parton (true story, as I was leaving the salon yesterday, Dolly came on the sound system so I couldn't help but think about this). For my first appointment, actually even before that, I had a consultation first where she assessed my hair and we discussed what I wanted and what could be done to it. I wanted a balayage situation with purple, but my hair is almost black so it would need to be lightened... gradually because my hair is damaged/thin so she wanted to be careful. My return appointment was an entire day affair thanks to the color lifting. The purple was amazing, however once I got home, I realized it didn't take in the back and there were some orange-y spots so I called the salon. Jessica spoke to me and insisted that I come back so that she could fix it. And I was there for another two hours at no charge. Ultimately there was a small bit of hair that did not take the dye and sometimes that's going to be the case. I still loved the results and literally got compliments wherever I went. I didn't even need touching up but I went back yesterday after four months and I don't know what she did differently but this color is a gorgeous, rich dark brown with slight purple highlights. And I am in love with my haircut, too (slight shaping and trim goes such a long way). Thanks to Jessica for being such an approachable, skilled stylist (check out her Youtube channel) and Sarah and the rest of the reception staff for being so nice. I'm so happy to have the Steel Magnolias salon of my dreams here in New Orleans!
