I have received my monthly haircut from Morgan Odney of Hairpins for the past several years…read more Morgan and the folks at Hairpins are consummate professionals and are exceptionally well versed at the execution of hair care. Hairpins, located in a beautiful building with high ceilings and large windows overlooking the Kauffman Centre for the Perfoming Arts and the skyscrapers downtown, is the perfect place to receive hair care service in the bustling, progressive, eclectic Crossroads neighbourhood of Kansas City. I would never dream of going anywhere else, due to the pitch perfect, well honed craft that is demonstrated by the caring and professional staff of Hairpins.

Another one of those "how have I NOT reviewed this place yet" situations…read more I have been going to Hairpins for quite a while now, as my stylist moved here from Skyline. At first it was hard to let go of all of the bells and whistles that Skyline dazzles you with, but once I got through the withdraw, I realized that I was still getting a stellar haircut, which really is the point, right? I see Merideth, who has been awesome about keeping me looking clean and presentable, yet also fun. She does a great men's cut. While obviously I have no firsthand experience with the lady-services, the clients I all see leaving look great. Take that for what you will. Scheduling appointments has always been incredibly flexible, and everybody that works there is incredibly friendly. They do shows on First Fridays and are always there to give you a nice PBR or glass of wine. Also, they're a Bumble & Bumble salon, if that type of thing is important to you.

I absolutely adore this place. I never thought I would say that about a salon. After a little…read moreresearch, I decided on stopping by Speak to get a haircut because I have a rats nest that people call luxurious locks. Make your appointments online. It was a straightforward website, easy-to-use, and very quick. I've had a lot of problems in the past booking online and often prefer calling to make appointments. But it was a breeze so I was off to a good start. I arrived 15 minutes early for my appointment with Shelby. I tentatively walked in and immediately relaxed. The space was beautifully decorated, there were items from local stores on sale, and the sweet sound of music wafted through the air. Yes, no loud clanking or gaggle of gossip to be heard. It was so refreshing and intimate! There are only two chairs so only two clients can be seen at a time. It's completely different experience than what I'm used to and I like it. Shelby is so sweet and calm. She met me at the front, offered me a beverage (thanks for the La Croix!), and took me back to where the magic happens. The actual salon is a small room with two chairs (but not claustrophobic) and bright windows with a plethora of succulents/greenery in every which corner. I loved it. Shelby listened to my concerns, offered a few suggestions, and started with a dry cut, wash, blow out, and then finishing touches to ensure everything is straight. I didn't go for a drastic change because I'm growing my hair our for my wedding, but I definitely wanted my hair to feel lighter and smoother. Shelby was amazing and thoughtful in her approach. I also really appreciated that she didn't think I was annoying because I'm a natural chatter and at one point, my friend even stopped by to say hi. Shelby (and Julie) were both very gracious and inviting. If you're looking for a zen salon and a totally different but great experience, come here. Ask for Shelby and she will take care of you. Thanks for the wonderful time!

Both Julie and Shelby are wonderful…read more Hair care/other services: They listen, make great suggestions, and my hair always looks and feels great. Shelby does a great job with a brow wax, too. Julie once suggested a style for me, and when I finally committed and Shelby executed it - it's the best haircut I've ever had. My hair type is wavy/curly (various textures from 2B--3B), both Julie and Shelby are respectful of my curls. The various services they offer (like in-between trims & dry cuts) are perfect for what I need. Atmosphere: Also love the studio - location, decor, featured gifts/jewelry, and great styling products. Great taste in music too, I turn on my auto Shazam as soon as I arrive. :)

She rushed through my hair, left me in the rinsing bowl for like 45 minutes, right before she rinsed my hair told me that she wasn't going that blonde until she got to know me better maybe next time (the picture I showed her was clearly light blonde), rushed through my haircut and by that time my appointment was at 4 and I didn't leave until 6:30 so I was starving and was trying to be nice. I got home and there was a spot on my hair right on the front left side that the bleach touched my head and looks like a bald spot. I also had to cut a few stray pieces of my hair that were missed. This is absolutely inexcusable especially for the owner of a salon and for the expensive price I had to pay. I will not be returning and do not recommend.
