The cut looks amazing…read moreand she took the time to ask me a lot of questions to make sure she knew what I wanted and what I was comfortable with. She offered suggestions that ended up being exactly what I wanted. On top of that, there was plenty of street parking near the salon and the price was pretty reasonable compared to other places I've been in the past. I will definitely be coming back!

I rarely leave reviews for haircuts because my hair is thick and frizzy and hard to style well, but…read moreI had an amazing experience at Plane Jane! I had shoulder length hair and wanted a graduated bob. Most hair stylists haven't been able to pull it off at all, but Melanie did an incredible job! She worked on my hair meticulously for an hour and 15 minutes and angled and thinned it absolutely perfectly!!! Best haircut I've ever gotten! One tip for anyone who goes- I should have booked it as a "transformation haircut" because I was changing the look of my hair so much. Appointments for those cuts are slightly longer than a normal haircut. Melanie squeezed me in anyway, which I'm so grateful for!

There's something really special about this team -- it never feels like just an appointment, it…read morefeels like coming home to family. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and full of genuine care. You're not just another client; you're known, remembered, and looked after. What truly sets them apart is the creativity and knowledge that runs through the entire team. There's a real sense that they're constantly learning, evolving, and sharing ideas with one another -- you can feel that collaborative energy in the way they work. It's not just about doing hair, it's about understanding people, style, and what actually works in real life. Maria, my hairdresser, is a perfect example of that expertise. She really understands my hair type -- especially having thick hair -- and knows exactly how to shape and manage it so it looks great but is also easy for me to handle day-to-day. That balance between style and practicality is rare, and she gets it every time. It's the combination of talent, creativity, and genuine connection that makes this team stand out. You leave not just looking better, but feeling better too.

Since, this salon was just renovated everything's brand new. I like the open air and modern concept. I am now familiar with the parking and directions to get to the building. It was a little tricky at first. But, my favorite part of the salon is my stylist, DK. He is an expert professional and does a precise job with cutting and styling my hair. I love the way my hair looks, feels, and it is really easy to take care of. So, beautiful new salon, my favorite stylist-DK, ... I will see you again in 4 weeks. Please note, The Shop Salon pictures on their site need to be updated. I am including my recent pictures. They reflect the way the salon looks and in real time. I hope they get the chance to reflect on the changes, especially since they are so much nicer, than their last location.

Where I used to go the color would always stain my forehead (even when she would apply Vaseline or whatever) and the answer I would get was.."that's just the color and can't avoid it", maybe it could just be the brand they use. Anyway, Kara is very careful and I never have stains around my face after she colors. She has a good eye and knows exactly what to do and she LISTENS. My hair was damaged and I didn't really have a good cut so It has been a journey but I have to say that my hair now has a great style for my face and is so healthy. I really feel that she is on this journey with me and I love that. As for the salon, it's very clean, I love the vibe, and the girls at the front desk are polite and helpful.

But it'd be remiss of me to not give a shout-out to Chenelle, who has garnered so much of my trust with her cut, highlighting, and coloring skills over the past few years. The low-key transformations she's given to my hair always grow out beautifully, and she's fixed two unfortunate haircuts that I've gotten elsewhere while traveling. Logistics-wise, street parking can be competitive but there's a parking garage just a block away. I love that I can see availability online and book at-will. They basically have a loyal customer for life out of me, even though I no longer live as conveniently close as I used to!

My friend took me across the street to Salon Gerard to fix it, and despite me not having an appointment, Chenelle stayed late to trim my hair to fix the unevenness and cliffs and expertly calmed me down as I was still in shock. I really miss my long hair, but Chenelle styled it so well that I was not completely distraught and even gave me tips on how to preserve the blowout. She's not only highly talented as a stylist but also incredibly empathetic and reassuring in stressful situations. I would recommend her to everyone.
