She talks with you and formulates a plan before getting started (talking about color) that you feel comfortable with. The blonde color turns out perfect every time. I also asked Amanda to do my hair and all my bridesmaids for my wedding and everyone's hair just looked incredible. I was so happy with the way my hair turned out and the other girls were too. We did a pre-planning session to try some different styles before the wedding and I changed my mind from wearing it up to wearing it half up half down. She spent several hours with me that day and was very patient. The day of the wedding she showed up early, looked professional, and got everyone done in plenty of time. She has such a wonderful personality and is extremely talented. I highly recommend her!

It is the easiest thing I have ever done to give this woman 5 stars for her work! She did my hair…read moreand my sister (Maid of Honor) for my wedding. What she created was unbelievably beautiful. We gave her carte blanch to do our hair, with only the idea that mine would be left long and my sisters in a side updo or bun. What she did was an updo for my sister that was amazing waves and weaves of her gorgeous blond locks that we couldn't stop looking at. We took photos of it, it was like art. She gave my normally straight flat hair the most voluptuous ringlet curls that stood up to dancing and heat and wind all night. She made us beautiful. Plain and simple. She also was an exceptionally kind and friendly person, who went out of her way to help me, a very frazzled bride, in ways I can't describe (including letting me borrow her ipad so I could transcribe my vows, as I had forgotten to bring them)! What a lovely person. She is a true treasure. I'll use her again and again.

Her new space is just darling. Comfortable, beautifully decorated, and super conveniently located - just steps from Sprouts. Scheduling is also breeze with her new online system (www.bgssalon.com).

She has nursed my hair back to health and spent extra time achieving custom color that suits my aesthetic.

She breaks down the meticulous ingredients and formulations of her colors, which to me is fascinating and so incredibly professional. In addition to her amazing technique, you will find impeccable hospitality! I strongly recommend Christine to anyone who is looking to be taken care of and leave feeling remarkable about themselves.

Third time getting my long pixie haircut and absolutely love it. Amanda Corte was my hairstylist,…read moreand she perfects it each time. This time I requested to make it a bit different with an undercut and as always she did a swell job! Below is what she does to get it right each time: 1) takes her time and listens to the customers need 2) then she perfects it until it reaches her satisfaction level (spends a good hour on it every time) 3) throughout the cut she makes suggestions if she feels what can be done to bring the most to it 4) makes sure its a low maintenance cut and sits well without any styling Make sure to call at least a month in advance to get an appointment with her. That will be the only negative :)

Sloppy Mess at 5-Star Prices I spent $200 for the worst cut…read moreand color of my life. For a place that is marketing itself as a high-end Boulder salon, I have to say that absolutely nothing about my experience at 1313a Salon was high-end. This was my first haircut/color post pandemic and I was so excited to walk out of the salon feeling great; feeling like myself again but that is just not what happened. This was my first time trying out the salon and I researched reviews copiously before choosing it. I made an appointment with Amanda. The salon is a bright, clean spot, however when I walked in for my appointment on a Saturday morning, the receptionist was getting her hair done at the front desk! This didn't exactly give off vibes of professionalism. I came in for a trim and to color my hair so that it would be as close to my natural ash/cool brown as possible. I have (or rather, had) long hair and wanted to keep as much length as possible. I understand that my ends were in rough shape, but I was shocked at how short my hair was when I left. It didn't at all resemble what I asked for. The color was the worst part. I've been to other salons in town where the stylists explain the color they choose, they show you the swatch they suggest. Amanda didn't discuss any of that with me, she just chose what she thought matched and told me she'd leave it on longer since it was an ammonia-free dye and wanted to achieve better coverage. I trusted that she knew what she was doing - this was also a mistake. First seeing the color of my hair in the bright salon lighting, I thought that it looked a bit dark, but it wasn't until I got home that I realized just how incredibly dark it was. It had no resemblance whatsoever to my natural hair color! It looked nearly coal black and was very severe, especially going into summer. I still can't stand the sight of it and who knows what it will look like as it grows out. And even worse, after the fact I found out that Amanda used permanent dye because "semi-permanent wouldn't cover the grey." I wish she would have told me that before dyeing. I have never in my life had my hair colored with anything but semi-permanent and it covered the grey just fine. Also, my forehead was dyed dark; when I got home I saw that I had dye spots on my cheek, nose, and on my ears and had to scrub my face with rubbing alcohol to remove it. I also realized that the new shirt I wore to the salon had dye on it as a result of the careless experience - there was dye on the collar, a dye spot on both the back and on the front of the shirt. I waited 15 months to get my hair done by professionals precisely to avoid such a situation! This is absolutely not the sloppy mess one expects from a high-end salon. Ultimately, I understand that mistakes happen; we're all human. The issue I have is how Amanda and the salon chose to resolve the situation when I called to express my unhappiness with their services. On the Monday following my appointment, I called the salon to let them know I was unhappy with my experience, that my color was far too dark and unnatural and that I didn't know if it was a bad match or if the color was simply left on too long. I asked if there was anything Amanda could please do to help me get it back to my natural color. The receptionist spoke to her and told me, "Amanda said she could **come in on her day off** on June 2 (nearly a week and a half later) and she doesn't know if she'd have to strip the color out and highlight or what." This is 100% not what a customer wants to hear - absolutely horrible customer service. I would never want someone to have to come in on their day off, however this ordeal has been a waste of MY time and MY money. I spent more than two hours in the chair and nearly $200 to leave completely disappointed and feeling awful about the way I look. There was no apology and I did not get the impression that the salon was at all concerned that they had a very unhappy customer on their hands - and someone who would have been a repeat customer had they been taken care of and treated well. I really dislike leaving negative reviews, however I rely on honest reviews heavily and wanted to share my experiences so that others can hopefully avoid the same mistake. There are many salons in Boulder that have talented stylists, provide good customer service, and own their mistakes. On that note: Does anyone know a good place in town where I can go to get my color fixed?

I called to schedule a hair appointment here after a coworker recommended the place. The person…read morewho answered the phone was very sweet and scheduled an appointment for the next day. She asked if I could come in for a consultation before my actual appointment. I agreed. So, I arrived on Saturday morning for my consultation with Bill. I told him that I wanted my hair to be lighter (it's dark brown with grey roots). He told me that it would be difficult and would take a while and he was going to "pass." I was so befuddled leaving that I could hardly comment. Since leaving, I've retold the story of the man who "passed" on my hair to everyone that I know and a few strangers. Everyone agrees that Bill's decision was unbelievable and disappointing. On a brighter note, my experience with On Broadway (an Aveda Salon) was incredible from start to finish. I'm now sporting an ombré that looks great.

However, after I was done, I was told that I had to pay by cash or cheque (where they do that at?!) because the stylist is self-employed. Huh. Then the stylist told me I owed $90?! My shock paralyzed my emotions and I said okay and went to find an ATM. When I got back to the receptionist, I told her she told me a different price two days ago, so what changed? Something about something that I didn't care for because now it was too late. Calling the stylist back to answer my questions wasn't going to help me. They seem like nice people, but they need to get their pricing and receptionist under order.
