Please forgive my name on here, my friend changed it to mess with me years ago and I still have no idea how to fix it! I believe my stylist was Lexi, and she was just a doll. I almost never do anything for myself, I really haven't been in a salon since I was a child. I also never really learned how to take care of my curl pattern, and hid behind buns and braids all my life because I felt so ugly. I was also so very worried to lose any length because my late mother was so very attached to my long hair. But Lexi made me feel so heard, listened to, cared for and so very pretty. She made sure I could see every snip and talked me through it so I didn't feel as guilty. She didn't make me feel stupid at all for not knowing how to take care of my texture, she explained it so kindly and patiently. She and every lady in that salon that interacted with my friend and I were so very lovely. Thank you for everything, girls. read more

love love love Teddi! got my hydrofacial before my wedding with her and she did a great job!

I had a 90-minute prenatal massage with Mikayla at 34 weeks pregnant, and it was exactly what I needed. I only wish I had booked one sooner! I've been dealing with significant hip pain during pregnancy, and I noticed a huge improvement afterward. She was knowledgeable, attentive, and knew exactly how to address the areas that needed the most work. Mikayla was incredibly friendly before and after my appointment while remaining professional throughout. I also really appreciated that she didn't feel the need to carry on conversation during the massage, allowing me to fully relax and enjoy the experience. This was honestly the best massage I've had in years. I'm so grateful for the relief and will absolutely be recommending her to other expecting moms. read more

My last visit to Ruffalo's Salon was two years ago, and I was extremely disappointed then for the exact same reason I am again now. The stylist at that time clearly lacked experience with short hair, leaving me with a choppy haircut and noticeable bald spots. Unfortunately, the same thing happened again during my recent visit. I was told I was booked with a "KNOWLEDGABLE Level Three Stylist," but my experience did not reflect that level of professionalism or skill. I even showed a reference picture of exactly what I wanted, so there should not have been any confusion. Instead of acknowledging the issue or apologizing for the poor result, there was no accountability taken at all. Despite being very upset, I remained calm and still paid for a haircut that looks nothing like what I requested,just to avoid a scandal in a public place. I am beyond frustrated and digusted that Ruffalo's continues to hire stylists who do not seem properly experienced or trained, especially for short hairstyles. At this point, there is no possible way to fix what was done to my hair. I expect a full refund for this service. This experience has completely destroyed my trust in your salon, and this will absolutely be my last time receiving any haircut or hair-related service from Ruffalo's. Rebecca Lara read more

I can't say enough good things about Ruffolo's & my stylist, Emma! She is so relatable, kind, and really takes the time to make sure you're happy with your hair. I recently had my color retouched and it didn't turn out quite how I wanted, but the salon was great about getting me back in and fixing it. Now I absolutely LOVE my hair -- it's exactly what I wanted! I appreciate how accountable the salon was, and how comfortable my stylist always makes me feel. I'm so glad I found her and my girlies and I will definitely keep coming back! ‍ read more

Abby is amazing with my hair! She stays within my beauty budget and makes sure to relay any price changes prior to starting her service! She has been doing my hair for almost two years and unless I move away She will be always do my hair! read more

Service is great. Parking is awful and very frustrating. Parking across the busy street and cross shouldn't be the answer.

Wow.Talk about a waste of time and money. Hair coloring and a low fade. Not a complicated haircut. When the girl was done i asked her to just shave my head. I look like a Marine which is not really what I was going for. Super disappointed. I wont be returning. read more

I have been always chosen to come to this Salon, because I leave happy and confident. I am in love with the results each time. This is a place I will always make the drive for. read more

I've never written a Yelp review before, but I feel obligated to share my experience because wedding days are serious business. I will premise this by saying that none of us are from the Kenosha area or had ever heard of Ruffolo's before. Two stylists came out to the venue, and looking at the website after the fact, we may have gotten two of their most inexperienced people. FOR A WEDDING. (Like, the website says one of them is still training!) I had the one apparently still in training, and it was by far the worst professional hairstyling I've ever gotten. Whatever texturizing spray was used made my hair look like a dull, dry mess. (One of the other bridesmaids actually asked if I have coarse hair...I very much do not.) When raising concerns, we kept being reassured our curls would last...they definitely didn't, even after most of us asking for second go-rounds with the curling iron and extra hairspray before the stylists left. One flower girl's hair was almost completely straight before the ceremony, and the other's constantly needed extra bobby pins because pieces kept coming loose from her braid/bun. And this was before we had to do photos outside on a windy, damp day. (Thank god the updos for the bride and one of the mothers fared a little better, or it would've been a real nightmare.) If you're offering professional wedding styling, you should have the knowledge/experience and products to not only make hair look great, but to make the styles last! Obviously curls are going to fall a bit over time and you may have some weather-induced flyaways, but good stylists account for some of that by making curls tighter than they need to be and using appropriate product. I have never had issues like this before, to the point where I wished I would've just washed and straightened my hair and thrown in a braid myself. Plus there was a mandatory 20% tip on top of the price! So I paid $102 for a bridesmaid style and $72 each for flower girls! If you're considering using Ruffolo's for a wedding, I'd urge you to go elsewhere or at the very least make sure you're getting experienced stylists. It's a real drag not feeling your best and being worried about your hair on a special, once-in-a-lifetime day. (And spending that much money on it to boot.) read more

I went in for a cut and color and was very disappointed with the results. My hair looks boring, blah. For as much as it costs, I expected my hair to look like I just left a salon. Instead it looks like I used boxed hair dye. There's no dimension, no shine. I was hopeful because I had heard good things but now my hair just looks like someone poured flat brown paint on it. Definitely won't be going back. read more

Mikayla's deep tissue massage was very therapeutic for my neck and back. I highly recommend her if you want a great massage

Amber is an amazing hairstylist! Despite my giving her little input and having fine, blah hair, she always does a fantastic job. I've always left happy and confident with the results. Highly recommend! read more

Waaay overpriced for a "facial" I could have done at home for $20. $225 for 45 minutes of sucking out a couple blackheads and putting on some lotion.After leaving a tip was over $250. Don't waste your hard earned money for so called"spa". read more

This is actually zero stars, not one. My husband just called me on his way home from here, saying he was going to have to shave his head because his hair turned out so horribly. Was his "stylist" wearing a blindfold? And by the way, the cut is not at all what he asked for, and ALSO - were they using just a dry razor on his neck? It's completely red and irritated AND the line is crooked. Thank God we don't have big plans this weekend. At least if a girls' hair is screwed up, they can usually hide whatever is messed up until it grows out. Guys' hair, not so much. Thanks Ruffolo's! Not. read more

My daughter's and my stylist moved so we had to find new ones. I chose Kristin W. and am very pleased with my cut. My sixteen year old chose Allison and went home in tears. First, never did she have her in her chair to discuss what she'd like until after someone else washed her hair. She told her she'd like it trimmed with about 3-4 inches removed, basically what she currently had but freshened up. Next thing you know six to seven inches are gone and I about died. Nothing to what she had. Maybe if she took the time to sit her in her chair as a first time client and discuss what she liked/didn't like, could see her thickness and texture she might've gotten a cut to fit her. Instead she got the most basic layering with absolutely no personality and I'm literally sick to my stomach. These two photos are 24 hours apart. read more

My first visit I was not completely satisfied with the experience and originally left a detailed review. I had set my expectations of the salon and stylist to the place I've been going to. However, the manager contacted me and I agreed to give them another try for two reasons. One, her contacting me showed they care about their reputation and are willing to correct any issues. Two, I believe in second chances and it was my first time ever trying a salon in Kenosha after many years of going to the same place which is now a good drive away. I had Vanessa the second time and she listened, asked questions and walked me through the process as she went along. Along with some music/movie trivia. This time I went for a hair cut and color (it was an all or nothing type of day), which she did great. I did have to go back after a week for some toner and tips on the new hair style which she did very happily and I am extremely satisfied with. The color looks great, I get so many compliments on my cut and color from the first time she did it and she even taught me how to style it. Thank you Vanessa and Ruffolo's! read more

Honest review. Not happy with my hair. I had blonde balayage with dark roots before going to this salon and I wanted to go darker - brown dimensional balayage however my hair turns out with brown highlights (base of my hair) on my dark/natural roots and ashy colored ends. The balayage didn't look good at all that I had to go there again for revision. Still, not satisfied with my hair. I'm going to just color my own hair this weekend and try to cover up my current hair sitch. It just sucks cause I've had balayage hair with my natural hair roots for more than 3 yrs now and expected to maintain it, until I tried to go to this salon. Yes, they charge cheaper than the places I've been to, but I guess you get what you pay for. read more

I have been coming here for a few years and will forever be loyal to Amber. I have curly hair. She has cut my hair short several times to above shoulder length. I was always scared to do this and didn't want to come out looking like Shirley temple. She is great at working with curly hair and I love the short hair cut which turned out great every time. I also rarely find new products that work for my hair and am very picky when it comes to that. She used an oribe hair gel at my last haircut that I ended up buying because I loved it. read more

Four of us came in for hair and make up for a family wedding. Everyone came out looking like a movie star. I had a lady named Amanda do both my hair and make up. She did an amazing job. She did my hair how I wanted it to the very last detail. My make up was flawless. I bought a lipstick to take back with me. I am glad I did. Great color. My skin looked amazing. It turned out to be very windy that day and my hair stayed put. I got so many compliments on my hair. I wish I lived here so I could continue to come to this hair salon. The staff was warm, friendly, and made sure we were all happy. Great job Ruffalos! read more

A little overpriced but talented stylists and great customer service in a very relaxing environment. Definitely worth the money!

A well established full service salon with professional stylists that know how to keep you looking great. The salon is always well maintained and clean. I travel a lot and have never found a stylist like Stacey. She is excellent in her profession. I highly recommend this salon if you want to stay updated in your cut, and have amazing color that's done right. read more

I could not be happier with how my eyebrows look after microblading with Teddi! She is amazing! Before I was very self conscious as one brow hung lower than the other and I could never get them to look right. I wanted my microblading to look natural and match my exact hair color, after a year of researching providers I booked with Teddi. She absolutely nailed it. I highly recommend everyone interested in microblading to see her. Thank you Teddi for the gorgeous new brows! read more

Ruffolo's Salon & Spa - Microblading with Teddi - Hair Salons Near Me - Kenosha, Wisconsin

Update to my previous review! The owner just added a beautiful new addition, as well as completely revamped the outside of the salon! It looks absolutely gorgeous, and has allowed the salon more room to not just provide stylist, but perform more beauty treatments such as eyelash extensions, eyebrow microblading, waxing, and facials. Ruffolos is truly a one stop beauty destination! read more

I love Ruffolo's Hair Studio! My stylist Jessica London is awesome. She listens and styles my hair exactly as I want it. The salon is so professional and A class. They have fun events going on, drawings, etc... In February my friend and I attended Makeup and Mai Tais, what fun to get a make up makeover while sipping cocktails. The makeup is pricey, but it was totally worth it. Keep up the good work Ruffolo's, the girls in Kenosha appreciate you. read more

I have been going here since I got my hair done for my wedding over 5 years ago! My husband also has been getting his hair done and we recently starting bringing our 3 year old for haircuts. We all see Ashley for our cuts and she always does an awesome job! I have also done pedicures and gotten my nails done for my wedding and they are so clean and organized. I wouldn't go anywhere else! read more

Let me sstart outt by saying that my first experience was awesome. From setting the appointment, my consultation and my appointment. The gal that did my hair left a couple of days after my appointment and the salon reached out to accommodate me. They understood my need to have a consultation prior to an appointment and scheduling was ok. My consultation was a mess. My request was to be matched with a stylist who was engaging, confident, artistic and assertive. The stylist was none of those things. That's ok. I loved the concept of the salon and thought I'd call and restate my wants and see if tHeres a better match. Imagine mmy shock when the gal answering the phone literally told me to go somewhere else. Not, let's see if wee can find a better match for you, but go somewhere else. Now, I'm relatively certain that the salon owner would have much preferred to gain another client but maybe I'm wrong. My recommendation? Avoid this salon. Customer service is clearly not a priority and if they treat potential clients that poorly imagine how they treat others. I'll be going elsewhere in Kenosha. read more

I absolutely love coming here. Ashley is AMAZING. Every time I come in, I have a rough idea of what I want but I let her do her magic and am always happy with the end result. read more

I love coming here! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. I go to Alison - she is the best and always listens to what I want. I have always had the worst luck with salons but I love this one & I'm here to stay. read more

I went to Ruffalo's with my bridal party, family, and some close friends to have our hair and makeup done for my wedding this past Saturday. First of all, Brittany did an AMAZING job getting me ready for my special day. She was professional, attentive, and positive. Getting everything in order through email with Jaimie was a breeze. She was pleasant, responsive, and very accommodating to our needs. I am so happy with the experience we all had and the final outcome. Everyone looked beautiful! read more

I would NOT recommend this salon for any of your wedding needs. Being new to Wisconsin I had to ask around about salons to get my hair and makeup done for my wedding (Labor Day weekend). A few people I know recommended Ruffolos so I decided to book through them for myself and my bridesmaids and do a trial run. They had to scramble to even get any of their stylists to come in the morning of my wedding which was a Sunday. How sad. Unfortunately I got stuck with not very talented ladies. I went into my trial day so excited, ready to look like a bride and anxious for my big day. Instead I walked out with a lump in my throats and tears in my eyes. To start, the lady doing my makeup was nice, don't get me wrong, but I showed her a picture of exactly how I wanted my hair... a huge loose braid on the side and a loose bun in the back with curls coming out. Nothing tight or "updoey". Well I got the exact opposite. She gave me a very tight small braid and a tight updo. She then told me how she would do it differently "the day of". Umm how am I supposed to trust that it will turn out the day of? How she let me leave her chair with my hair like that is beyond me. Next up was makeup. And let me tell you the lady who was doing my makeup was doing an updo right next to me when I was getting mine done. Super simple- hair down two fish tail braids that came down with some babies breathe. So I told this gal and showed her pictures of how I wanted my makeup. Super dramatic contour, shimmery gold eye, blinding highlight, and full lashes. I'm no makeup artist but I am pretty advanced when it comes to doing my own makeup. This girl had no idea what contouring and highlighting was. They had no shimmery eyeshadows. The lashes she put on me she charged $20 and they are ardels that are sold in any drug store for less then $4!!!! WTF! I won't even get into the lip color we went over for like 15 minutes. Also, their makeup brushes were not even sanitized. (How disgusting) While doing my makeup she was telling me how she HATED doing updos and how the one she was doing was giving her anxiety. So at the end I finally was like no. This is absolutely not what I want. And the wedding consultant was sitting behind me trying to come up with a different solution but saying how beautiful I looked. Umm no. I looked horrible. So they said the girl doing my makeup would do hair and the girl doing hair would switch to makeup. Absolutely not. Makeup girl doesn't even like doing hair and hair girl didn't even have makeup on that day. How am I supposed to trust them on my wedding day with me and my bridesmaids? So they charged me full price, no solutions, and sent me out the door in tears. Immediately I called my mother in law and showed her pictures and she was pissed. I wrote an email to the bridal consultant explaining how disappointed I was. The owner called me back and explained I didn't have enough hair for the braid I wanted. Sorry, but that's BS lady. My hair is thick and reaches my lower back. I was even able to achieve the braid later after practice. At that point I was just so upset with all of them. If you can't achieve the looks just say it up front. Don't make me waste my money on something you don't know how to do. Super disappointed in their customer service, their stylists, and their over charging prices. I will never recommend this salon to anyone and will direct them far away from this place. read more

Customer service is not up to par especially if you have a complaint or several. I had a horrible experience with getting my first set of hair extensions. Once they were put in I was back repeatedly to have them fixed because they kept falling out. I found out from another hair extension professional that they weren't even the correct extensions for the hand tied method, they were too heavy, and too many rows were put in. 500 dollars later I have these worthless extensions to look at. Not to mention the hundreds I spent on color and having them moved up once. I recommended this salon to my niece for her wedding. She went for a bridal consultation and when she sent me the pictures of her hair and makeup I was embarrassed that I had sent her there. When I called to complain about all this, I was assured the manager would reach out. She never did. At a last attempt to have the salon redeem themselves, I sent my sister there for her wedding color and style. The color..... I could have done better at home and the style.....she literally looked like a blown dry poodle. I was mortified. I have to go back for a follow up microblading appointment and I'm dreading it. If I hadn't paid so much I wouldn't go. read more

Really disappointed with this place. They truly are just out for the money. Nothing they do is for "customer service." I they make a mistake or do something that you don't like they will not take the blame for it. They find a way to turn it around on the customer so they are not held responsible. I have spent tons of money on services with different stylists and I can honestly say I was not happy with anyone of them. They were either rude or just constantly trying to sell me something. I could go on about he experiences ive been through with this place, but I'd be writing a book. So basically what I'm saying is do not waste your time with ruffalos. There are plenty other places that can take care of you much better and for much less!! $ read more

I went in for a straight cut with Brittany, who was very nice, but it turned out so uneven. I can't even straighten it bc it will be so noticeable. read more
