The first time he cut my hair was in December 2017 and the second time was September 2018; nearly a year apart and he remembered​ me. Both were perfect. He is my hairdresser in ABQ when I fly there for work. UPDATE: I have also been getting my hair cut by Ken as​ well. Apparently, Ken cuts Mike's hair and Mike schedule is fairly busy. Ken is amazing. You can't go wrong with him. I highly recommend both of them if you are in ABQ.

This place is fabulous!…read more A bunch of hairdressers who were tired of the crap they took at their regular salons got together and created one they way they wanted it - and they did a helluva job! The salon itself is really beautiful. Big open space, decorated with just enough panache to be interesting, not so much you are rolling your eyes - Goldilocks perfect. The stations are open and make the most of the space - which is quite large. Excellent natural light from the windows covering half of the wall space, so it feels even more open and welcoming. They keep it really clean, which is really nice for a salon. The bathrooms are spotless, and the rest of the place looks first client-fresh all day. My hairdresser, Laurie - who I recommend wholeheartedly - is so happy there. She's been at a number of salons in the city and she feels completely at home here. So - a moment just for Laurie - she is amazing. Seriously knows her stuff, but will do whatever you want. You know how some hairdressers listen to what you want with your very own hair an then do something totally different? I hate that SO MUCH! Laurie is so not like that - she talks to you before she does anything, makes sure she knows what you want and discusses the entire process with you before she starts. On top of that, if you aren't really certain what you want, she will make all kinds of awesome suggestions and it is in your best interests to listen to her. She really does know her stuff. Plus - she is just really nice and fun to talk to - pretty important in a hair dresser! Regarding the review written by Sara P: Kayla was all about Groupon and Living Social, and that seemed to be going well, but she had a family emergency and actually moved back home to another state to help her family. Living Social is supposed to be handling refunds, but the other hairdressers at Shear Brilliance would be happy to provide you with the service you requested. I understand you were frustrated, but leaving a 1-star review for an entire business, composed of multiple independent contractors, based on your limited interactions with one person, especially now that you know the extreme circumstances - well, it's just not fair. Anyway - I truly love Shear Brilliance and support them wholeheartedly. They are a wonderful group of people, doing a job they love in a place they created together, and it's just plain fun to go there. Please give it a try - Laurie is the best, but all of them are worth your time and money.

Owner of Salon Black,…read more I went to your salon for a walk-in appointment today. I was with Jacqueline. She started out nice enough. I explained what I wanted the best I could and expected her to use her expertise to give me a good haircut. She ignored pretty much everything I asked and then seemed to want to make me feel guilty or bad about getting multiple haircuts when she hadn't finished the first one. Her behavior became more and more abusive. It's abusive to blatantly ignore what people say they want while pretending to do a good job while doing completely substandard work. I tried to just focus on what I needed. It seemed like she wanted to trigger me to walk out. When I asked her to just make it cohesive and make the layers make sense, she wanted to make me responsible by having me direct her what to cut. She said she was trying to combine my cuts. I didn't ask her to do that. I just told her pretty straightforwardly what I wanted and then she was basically engaging in crazy making word games about what was weight and what was length. Then, unsurprisingly your other employees, came to her defense when she refused to finish my haircut. It would've been nice to walk out of your salon having had my hair washed and styled but instead I just have a partial bad cut. She only refused to finish it after I said was not gonna come back the next day for another haircut. She seemed to have some other agenda of wasting my time when I just wanted to come in and get a haircut. I have seen this technique used when businesses want to single people out to deny them service and make them responsible. The sequence is not listen, trigger, engage in crazy making behavior where they pretend they're not totally obviously not listening and doing their job, try to make the victim responsible, and then deny service if all else fails and blame the person. Dog piling and flipping the abuse onto the customer. It's just an obvious technique. I was completely patient while she was engaging in all of this and just tried to describe what I wanted. I described her behavior, simply as abusive behavior that I sat through. Your receptionist said that was a "big word". It's not a big word. It's a straightforward adjective to describe the sequence that I just described above. No one deserves it. Your employees seem to be trained to engage in it. Kyeann Sayer As badly as you want to be a victim, you aren't Kyeann. Jack offered you to see another stylist as a gesture of goodwill and way to de-escalate the situation when it became apparent she was not a good fit for you. But once we were able to see more of your behavior (behavior that other guests said made them uncomfortable, guests who have no loyalty to me, my business, or team) we were not going to allow you to come back and treat another Stylist that way. We owe you nothing and will no longer be responding to your strange rants. Dee Ray Salon Black ABQ, NM I was polite the entire time your stylist was being abusive. No one should have to pay for the awful non-cut I got. If I had wanted to come back the next day (apparently to be fed by your network), I wouldn't have been kicked out. I was only kicked out when I said I would never be coming back to your salon again after the way Jacqueline treated me. I absolutely did not undermine your stylist. When she tried to make me responsible for her refusal to give me an actual haircut, I told her I relied on her professionalism.
