After trouble finding a hairdresser who really suited me and my needs and preferences, I stumbled upon Stephen on yelp. After reading glowing reviews, I decided to give him a try. Today I had my first appointment with him, and I have only amazing things to say about my experience with him. After booking my appointment, Stephen gave me a call to make sure that he would be a good fit for what I was looking for. After hanging up the phone, he then sent me specific instructions on how to get to salon parking for my appointment, which immediately cut down the stress of trying a new place. Once I got to the appointment he took his time to listen and ask questions to make sure that we would reach the desired outcome and make it work for my hair type. Throughout the haircut, he continued to let me know what he was doing, which was incredibly appreciated especially since it always feels like all your hair is being cut off during a long-awaited cut. He did this all while holding an engaging conversation with me which, I have to say, was rather enjoyable all by itself! The outcome was much better than I ever could have expected. My hair feels so healthy, and the cut gave me so much more shape and movement, which is exactly what I asked for. I really appreciated him taking the time to get it right and not rush through my haircut. I will definitely be returning to have my hair cut by Stephen! read more

Stephen Schaller is a Master Stylist. We are so fortunate to have someone of his talent and caliber in Boulder. My hair was suffering from Pandemic Denial. I stopped going to my previous salon when they reduced their services due to the Pandemic, so I hadn't had my hair cut or colored for four months. I was discouraged and concerned about visiting a new salon in the midst of our health crisis but I couldn't wait any longer. I began searching for an experienced and established stylist in Boulder and was just about ready to start looking in Denver when I discovered Stephen's website. Stephen is gracious and professional; he responded to my contact quickly and promptly set me up with an appointment. He took excellent health precautions in his salon and I was the only client in his shop during my appointment. I never felt rushed! He took time to listen to my ideas and understand my lifestyle and then respectfully discussed revitalizing my hair, and upgrading my style and coloring options. I wanted his opinions and recommendations. He is an artist! My hair is now healthy again. I love my Bob and my color is natural and a perfect blend. My style is easy to care for and the additional gloss Stephen added was brilliant. Stephen's outstanding work raised my spirits. We all need an expert stylist like you, Stephen! Thank you...you're a godsend! read more

Writing this review fresh out of Stephen's chair today, and couldn't be happier. In the past year, I've started getting more gray hairs than I am really comfortable with (being in my mid-30s) -- maybe it's Covid, who knows! But my main concern with covering grays is that the color is natural, and won't leave me with a harsh line of where the gray hair starts growing back in. Stephen understood my concerns and concocted a mix of demi-permanent color, with gloss, etc -- and voila, my hair looks the same as my natural color a few years ago. Beyond the service, the studio is incredibly stylish and clean. We recently moved to Boulder from LA, and it's such a treat to go to a beautiful (not to mention very intimate) space. Stephen is so friendly, with a really vibrant personality. You can tell he is passionate about his craft, and it shows! Will be returning for my touch up in 8 weeks. Highly recommended!!! read more

When I came to Boulder in 2013, with my salt and pepper hair of a thousand cowlicks, I knew from experience I had to find an experienced coiffing artist who could layer my cut using a straight razor - it's the only way to overcome my cowlicks. I searched all over and followed up on recommendations from several Salons. They all said, "You need Stephen." Stephen has been cutting my hair ever since. And in every six weeks of 60 months, there hasn't been a single day I haven't enjoyed and felt great about - I always learn something new from Stephen, we have great conversation, and he simply ALWAYS gets my hair just right. Stephen is simply and unequivocally the best stylist I've ever had. So I'll be seeing him in a couple of weeks...and again and again...until he decides to retire his razor. read more

I can't say enough good things about Stephen! My beautiful auburn red color is *always* amazing, covering my grey roots so naturally that people think I'm a natural red head all the time! Just the way I like it ;). Stephen's eye for highlights and other detail is just as classy, and the hair cuts I get make a nice powerful statement, accentuating my best features. I feel so good when I get my hair done with Stephen! I've been in the fashion industry and have seen many hair stylists that aren't as talented and that cost twice as much. This is definitely the best service in town. read more

Stephen has been cutting my hair for over twenty years and always does a top notch job, even when I give him conflicting requests, like "I want the cut to be casual and laid-back but professional" or "I want it short but to feel sort of long at the same time. . ." Once or twice in those twenty years I've gotten curious and gone to someone else just to see how it goes, but then I'm always back to Stephen, because he really is so talented. My hair is curly, so that's an added challenge. But he know's what he's doing, and I'm always pleased with the cut! read more

This raving review is long over due. Stephen has been cutting and highlighting my hair at Salon Salon in Boulder for over 17 years. I have watched as he explores the edges, cuts the latest styles and keeps me coming back for more. Yes, I am chemical dependent but I know he uses the highest quality colors and products on my hair. I am speaking from experience when I say Stephen is a cut above all the rest. He really listens to his clients and navigates the changes they want. HE always stands behind his work! Give him a chance! He is worth top dollar! read more

Stephen has been my stylist and colorist for years. He has never disappointed me! I've even tried fun colors, brunette, and blonde. Im naturally a brunette - been blonde for about 4 years now. Stephen has managed to keep my hair healthy, despite using bleach with routine protein treatments ! (They also make your hair shine). He's the only stylist that is able to lift my hair color and keep my hair healthy. With his many years of experience, he has extensive knowledge and it shows. He's the best in town! read more

I'm new in town and went to Stephen because of the great reviews! He was very professional and took a lot of time discussing and analyzing my hair and my expectations. He was thorough and gave some good, sound suggestions and I knew I was confident I'd chosen a really experienced, knowledgeable hair stylist! He gave me beautiful highlights, a protein treatment, and a fabulous hair cut,very attentive to details. He is a master at coloring and styling! I highly recommend him and I'll be back! read more

You can't go wrong with Stephen's great cuts. Weeks after going "short" for the first time in 20 years, the cut is so manageable and stylish. All it takes is a quick second of fuss and I am ready to go out the door. I just love it . He takes the time to give you what you are really looking for, or at least what you think you are looking for. It is not so easy to find someone who gives a great cut. You won't be disappointed with Stephen. Well worth it. read more

Stephen is an artist with the scissors and the color. I have fine, dull hair, and until Stephen, I never had the opportunity to love it. I want my hair to look natural, Stephen listens and creates the perfect color. He fine tunes the layering until my limp hair moves gracefully. For seven years now I've been loving my gorgeous natural hair style. Happy was the day a friend recommended him to me. I highly recommend him to you. read more

I am so grateful to have found Stephen! I came in with environmentally stressed hair and he made upgrading my hair care so simple. He recommended color and products to match my natural preferences. (I've received more compliments from this than expected!) I'd say his experience and artistry gave me exactly what I was looking for at a great price. No matter how unique, he knows what people are looking for, and he knows how to do it. read more

Stephen has colored, cut and styled my hair for about eight years. He has taken my hairstyles to a new, modern level. He carefully colors and highlights my hair to suit my skin color as well as my choices. I have always enjoyed the haircuts he has given me, which are easy to style, and the style falls just right and stays for days! I highly recommend Stephen as a multi-talented hair stylist! read more

Stephen has been my stylist for over 20 years. I moved to Steamboat Springs 10 years ago and tried to find someone up here...but nobody can cut my hair like Stephen. My hair is hard to cut because of natural curl and cowlicks. So I drive to Boulder (4 hour drive) and go to Stephen because he is an artist with hair...cuts, color, highlights...and an added bonus...he's a very nice person. read more

I haven been going to Stephan since I moved to Boulder a decade ago. I work in a women's clothing store and get so many compliments on my hair that I send him a new client almost weekly. He is superb. I always let him do what he wants with my hair (cut and color) and I have never been disappointed. I cannot recommend Stephan more highly. He's the very BEST! read more

Stephen at Schaller Hair changed my whole look at my request and the result has been amazing. People notice. It's easier to manage. He knows his business. His color recommendation was spot on. I've been going to him for years now and I'm always happy with the result. Can't ask for more in a hair stylist. read more

Stephen is one of very few hair gurus in Boulder/Denver metro area, and beyond. He is always there to work with you and give you the results you wish for and better! His expertise is beyond where most hair stylists are at. Do not hesitate to enlist in Stephen's services. You will be very happy you did! read more

A guy's haircut is often short changed. I don't use products but I am extremely finicky about who cuts my hair. Hands down, Stephen gives the best haircut I have ever had. Consistently. When it grows out, it still looks great. He's also funny. read more

I've gone to Stephen a few times now. His work is extremely professional and of the highest quality. I always trust his expertise and so far he has always delivered what he promised. He is also a fun and charismatic person to be around. read more
