She gave me the exact cut I wanted and I'm loving my darker color as well. The salon was clean, well-kept, and everyone was friendly. I did not feel rushed and each stylist appeared to be working with only one client, which is rare these days. I was in and out of the salon and therefore my appointment did not feel like a "task." Also, they have a really cute and super well-behaved salon doggy named Bella that belongs to one of the stylists.

I've followed Hannah from Katie Blue to here. She's kept my hair looking fresh and gave me baby…read morebangs earlier this year. I came a month or two ago for a balayage of purple. Since my purple has washed out, we've talked about my next color. I asked her for recommendations and she said Copper or Butterscotch would look good on me. I came in recently for a haircut, but Hannah just said I didn't need one. She said all I needed was for it to be thinned out and shaped. And she took care of debunking my locks and giving it shape again. I no longer looked like I had Box Hair lol. Hannah is so sweet and friendly and it's always a pleasure when she gives feedback on hair tips, color etc. The space used to be a studio apartment. It's very bright, with exposed brick walls and wood floors. Loads of light and bathroom with a cute shower lounge spot. They handle their laundry of washing towels on site too. It's clean and a peaceful studio salon in Jackson Ward. (Also a cool tip for fantasy color removal: I used vitamin C tablets crushed up with my cleansing shampoo to also remove the color. Let it set for 30 minutes to an hour and then rinse your hair. Yes it works! I did this. 3x and it removes all purple).

BEST SALON EVER! After bad haircut experiences elsewhere, I…read moredeveloped a fear of getting my haircut for a few years.... I chose Birch after extensive research and have been going here for a long time now! Birch has such a welcoming community of experienced hairstylists. They even give you a drink while you are waiting. Located near Carytown but not on the direct street, they have a great spot if you would like to walk around before and after. I recommend Birch to everyone!

I've been getting a very similar cut for a while now, but this most recent time he gave me some recommendations on a cut and I couldn't like it more. Great intuition on how someone's hair, face shape, and style work together. A big thing that's slept on with hairdressers/barbers is their ability to read your vibe when you're in the chair. He knows if I'm looking to chat or literally fall asleep while he's doing his thing. I've recommended family and friends to him and they all say the same things for everything on this review. Again, 10/10 all around. If you're in Richmond, Theron is your guy.

Everyone was so happy with their hair and makeup! Becky was especially amazing. She went above and beyond with my bridal hair and makeup, bringing my vision to life even better than I imagined. She was also so warm and lovely to be around, which made getting ready that morning so much fun. My only negative experience was with Diane, the booking manager, who was unfortunately rude and unpleasant to communicate with throughout the planning process. Aside from that, I had a wonderful experience with Avenue 42 and would absolutely recommend their artists, especially Becky!

Cancer Patient Refused $500 Refund - Poorly Done Microblading…read more I am a recently diagnosed cancer patient that was seeking to get my eyebrows microbladed. I went to Maria @mariialash for microblading/"nano brows". Her price for this service is $500. I wanted to get this done prior to starting chemo so I could still have natural-looking brows during treatment. Unfortunately, 100% of the pigment that Maria put on my eyebrows fell out, despite following her care instructions. I informed her of this and sent a photo of my plain brows, stating that I am starting treatment any minute and will be unable to do anything that may compromise my immune system such as getting a tattoo, for at least the next year. At this time I requested a refund. She has refused to disperse a refund stating that her disclaimers her clients sign state this could happen. A flimsy "disclaimer" does not excuse a business from providing good service and exercising good judgement. I do not recommend trusting Maria with your money nor your brows.

I have been getting styled by Leanza since 2017 and can't even tell you how much I have appreciated…read moreall she has done. She is great at talking through every idea of hair color I have wanted and I have always left more than satisfied. She takes the time to build a relationship with me that has really helped bring everything I have wanted to my hair be more. And trust, we've done it all, black, blonde, silver, brown, highlights, keratin, you name it, and Leanza has done it. I've also really appreciated the staff at Hair, I've talked to many of the other stylists and have always had a positive experience. The salon is always clean, and comfortable, and I've never had any issue. The prices are also super reasonable and I love the products they use! I have since moved to Hampton and still come back to Richmond for Leanza to do my hair and don't plan on stopping anytime soon!

My mother has Alzheimer's and they are so, so kind to her there - she is always excited to go see them, and that is a rarity.

I really appreciated how prompt they were about my appointment time. All their products were bumble & bumble and it smelled fantastic. Michael, my stylist is extremely friendly and a great conversationalist. He's very communicative and knowledgeable about hair, hair color, and extensions. He made me feel very welcome and gave me great advice and suggestions on my hair. I had a lot of breakage from years of bleaching and he did a great job blending my damaged ends into layers. He also really listened to what I wanted and made sure to communicate every step of the way. Not to mention, I received one of the best head massages for my added hair treatment! Overall a great experience and I will be considering hair extensions with Michael in the future!

She also let me know the person who did my hair was no longer with them (good choice!!) I got my hair re-done by Lauren** and she was great although it was mostly toning if I'm not mistaken. It turned out a lot better than before and the cut was not crooked thank god! There was a problem at the register as the girl said there was not a note on my account so I had to pay the full amount, but contacted Elizabeth again and she reimbursed me a couple days later. I'm not giving a full 5 stars only because the girl who took my payment made no effort in listening and told me to "come back and talk to Elizabeth" which seemed a bit dismissive. All in all though despite that, it was a better experience, and the owners care a lot about customer satisfaction! So I would still recommend it! ---- Unfortunately, have to leave a not so great review for my first and only visit here. I saw Richard, who was very nice. Everyone was nice. I wanted a simple cut, no layers, but I wanted my hair thinned out (I have a lot of hair), and I also wanted color. Nothing fancy just some peak-a-boos all over so I could eventually transition into a balayage. I showed him a picture, he looked at it and got straight to work. Everything went great, we were chatting small talking etc :) I do have some experience working at a salon in Menlo Park, and watching him I was getting just a little worried as his techniques seemed a little basic (maybe it's just hindsight though). Anyway, he finished, washed (very very hot water ouch) and blow dried my hair (it also burned quite a bit. But I am not the type to complain unfortunately so I kept my mouth shut) Anyway I was happy up until I finally saw my hair. I mean I smiled but inside I was pretty sad. I went home, my boyfriend was like what happened to your hair I said what do you mean? It's fine.(didn't think it was THAT bad, notenough for my boyfriend who never notices anything to notice) I take a closer look in the mirror, the color is uneven and my hair cut is crooked / uneven. Random long strands etc. No biggie. Right? I'll just go in and have it fixed. So I call make an appointment to fix it and go in. He apologizes and takes a few minutes to fix it. Although it's better than before it's still not what you'd expect after paying $250+. Been wearing it in a pony ever since waiting for it to grow back. :( I'm giving an extra star because everyone was very nice and the salon itself is super cute.

I've been going to see Jessica Johnson for more than 10 years at two salons, Immortal Beloved RVA…read moreand Imago Salon. She did a great job cutting my long, thick curly cut hair. I love the vibe and the art at Immortal Beloved RVA. It's always been top-notch until recently. Now, when I've gone in, they have a dog at the shampoo bowl and that's happened a couple of times. I asked them to not schedule me with the dog, since I'm allergic. I thought it was one of the customers therapy dogs at first. Now, I'm starting to think maybe it was one of the owners. That wouldn't be so bad if I was able to continue with the appointment that I scheduled. I tried to reschedule it because my car was in the shop and wasn't ready yet. I called on a Monday thinking that would be fine and just reschedule. Unfortunately, they weren't open on Monday I found out. I was still getting a text saying that I had an appointment Tuesday. So, I was able to borrow my husband's car. So,I called before I drove down there since I wasn't sure whether my appointment was canceled or not to double check since no one had called me back. Then, the front desk girl said that she had canceled it and we rescheduled it with her for another day. So, I said that was fine, even though a lot of my time was wasted. I didn't even get to go pick up my car because we're spending so much time going back-and-forth with the front desk girl about appointments that day. By the time I got off the phone with her, the car dealership was closed. So now I didn't have my haircut or my car. That sucked. Not very good customers service. At least if we could have rescheduled that would be better than nothing. so we rescheduled for May. Unfortunately, a couple days later I got a call saying that my appointment was canceled and to never come back. They said I was a chronic rescheduler and they're canceling appointments with me. I only scheduled about two appointments a year. I don't even remember them ever talking to me about that before. The lady at the front desk insisted that was their policy. I couldn't find that anywhere on the website. I don't know why we couldn't go forward with the appointment after knowing that in the future but they just canceled it completely at that point and they haven't returned any of my calls or texts. Even when I said I could come in using my husband's car at the time. They said it was too late. It's just ridiculous! I planned for all situations. I feel like I did everything I could. It's frustrating because I don't think that everything was given to Jessica. I never talked to her directly. It was only to the front desk. Clearly she wasn't giving them all the information. So, it was just really frustrating. I've been a long time client and to lose that was awful. She was my friend and I didn't even get to say goodbye to her. Then the head of the company never called me back either. So, they just blacklisted me with no recourse and no phone calls or anything. I called back and nobody returned my calls. It's very unprofessional and impersonal!
