Abbi was amazing! She got me in last minute and did a great job on my hair. Sweep is the best.

Crystal! Where have you been my whole life!?! It's safe to say I found my new stylist, I was slightly apprehensive because she didn't have any reviews, but I'm glad I found her. She took my sad, dull, going grey, balding hair (postpartum sucks) and literally transformed it. Even my partner told me I looked like 10 years younger. I will absolutely be coming back to see her. Do your head and hair a favor and come see Crystal. read more

All hail Ashly, queen of razor cuts! Love how cute and quiet this salon is and would literally follow Ashly to the ends of the earth for her shag cuts. Booking at the salon is super easy, everyone is friendly, lots of meter parking along the street, and they can make you a nice oat milk latte if you're craving one. :) read more

Sweep Salon Boulder - Cut by Ashly - Hair Salons Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Review for LJ Wolff: LJ is amazing!!! I moved to Boulder last August and was not excited to find a new hair stylist. After going to a few places I finally found LJ when she worked at West End. I was excited to find out that she relocated to this amazing place around the block! I am SO glad I have found the best hair stylist that works with my hair so well, listens to what I want and does an exceptional job at putting my vision into exactly what I wanted my hair to look like. She is fun, personable and makes conversation easy and smooth. Her balayage expertise is just as amazing as she is at cutting my hair. All around a 10 star experience, both with LJ and Sweep, and I wouldn't go anywhere else! Review for the Business: This place is beautiful! So clean, aesthetic, simple and a pleasing place to get your hair done. The chairs are so comfortable I didn't want to leave, and so it smells amazing. Although a little pricey, it's worth the experience. read more

For the premium prices and high end looks of the salon, you'd expect to leave feeling great. But I left the salon feeling worse and unhappy about the outcome. The stylist I had was kind, but I expected better knowledge and capabilities from a salon this high end. Ended up showering at home because the style she did was so bad I wanted it gone. Left the salon looking like a country star from the 80s. read more

I hadn't dyed my hair in years but felt that a balayage salon with such strong reviews was virtually risk-free. Not so. My hair went from deep brown to brassy sadness. I should have gone with my gut when I was asked (for the second time) when was the last time my hair was colored...clearly indicative of the "stylist's" concern. She hadn't taken hair porosity into account. Virgin hair can be porous, so the 40 minute timer is certainly not one-size-fits-all. Prior to having the dye applied, I was asked what my goal was...I answered that, beyond the goal photo, I hoped not to be "orange and stripe-y". My nightmare was realized. I am both orange and striped...this is a nightmare riddle sans the punchline. I called to voice my displeasure and was told that perhaps I hadn't clearly communicated my vision but would be receiving a call from my stylist to see if we could rectify the situation. I went back for the "fix" and, after round two, I didn't have the heart to let the technician know that it was clear that the turd could not be polished. I've since engaged another proven colorist to fix my situation and the fact that she guessed which salon had done the damage is pretty telling. Apparently she's busy fixing this joint's mistakes. read more

Kate Workman is so so so amazing. I'm incredibly hesitant to let people around my hair (super curly, think 3C) and from the moment I sat down in the chair I felt *very* safe. She's so excellent at her craft & is so lovely. Sweep's COVID practices are also top-notch, if you're concerned about that as well. In short: curly girls, don't be afraid to come here! read more

Went in for a hair fix after another salon completely ruined my hair. ElleJ did an AMAZING job not only fixing my hair but also giving me the balayage I had wanted in the first place. Thank you so so much!! read more

Sweep Salon Boulder - After!!! - Hair Salons Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

I have been hesitant to come to a salon after having such a bad experience last year at Roots Salon and Spa where the stylist clearly didn't like me and made it clear she didn't approve of my job and overcharged me after messing up my hair and having to redo it... so when I came in I was a bit nervous but Kirsten was SUPER sweet, and made me feel comfortable. The studio is clean and really beautiful, but not sterile feeling which i appreciate! Kirsten was very fast, skilled, and made me feel safe and well taken care of. She only took about 1.5 hours for a cut and color- and at the bad salon it took over four hours, so I was SUPER happy with that! A week later or so, I've settled into the color and really love it! Already booked again- I'm super relieved to have found a colorist so kind and talented, I would recommend this place any day! read more

I've been dying my hair blonde for ~8 years and my hair has never even come close to looking as good as it does after my Bonjour Blondie appointment with Lauren Kathrein! I've never had a salon experience as positive as my one at Sweep, and the COVID precautions that were enforced made me feel very safe. The prices are a bargain for what you receive. I cannot recommend Sweep Balayage Bar enough, especially for those wanting to go blonde. read more

Sweep Salon Boulder - Bonjour Blondie - Hair Salons Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

I had Courtney do my haircut & she was incredible & nothing but sweet. She listened to my reference photos & did a fantastic job (plus she was super friendly!). A few days later, I had a sudden urge to go shorter, & Courtney told me to come back in for free for a touch-up! So kind of her to make time out of her busy day to squeeze me in to ensure I was happy with my hair. Definitely will be going back for Courtney's service & highly recommend! read more

I got a cut and balayage here the other day. The cut was excellent and exactly what I wanted. The balayage was different from what I've had previously at other salons, and I didn't love it (more subtle, monotone). I called this morning to see what we could do to make it how I want and Kate, the owner, fit me in and fixed it in the same day! The front desk staff is great and everyone is very sweet. I will be back and will just make sure to be more specific in the future about what I'm looking for. Thanks, Kate! read more

Amy is a sweetie and a very talented hair goddess. I was driving up to their temporary spot but just experienced the new location, which is a warm space that gave me 1970's vibes with the macrame, orange and pink hues, and wood touches everywhere. Much love for the fully reclined lounge seat at the hair-washing station! I don't go for the typical balayage sun-kissed look, but go to touch my roots up, and I'm so happy with the finished product I get from Sweep. My hair reacts very well to the Oway products they use (an organic, eco-friendly line from Italy)--it hasn't been happier since I moved to Denver 3.5 years ago. Amy always layers color treatments with vitamin drops, gloss, and other conditioning, hydrating products that my hair just drinks up. The color she uses matches perfectly to my own so my silver roots are covered nicely but not harshly. I have a few friends who have gotten the more typical balayage sun-kissed look and Kate and Amy from Sweep really do a beautiful job. They specialize in dry cuts, which I never had before going to Sweep. I don't understand the technicalities, but I do know my hair loves the dry cut. I got a healthy trim and shaping in late October and my hair still holds that shape. There's a reason I drive from Denver to Sweep! read more

Never coming here again. The first time I came for a balayage, not only did the stylist miss pieces of my hair, it was extremely brassy and had no dimension--looked more like bad highlights. I complained and she redid the coloring at no charge, but it still looked the same except less brassy. The SECOND time I went in, I got a haircut from another stylist that had great reviews. Worst haircut of my life. I wanted something medium length with layers because I am horrible with styling hair and wanted something super easy. Unfortunately, this is not what I got and I literally wanted to cry every time I woke up in the morning to do my makeup. It looks nothing like the picture (it's not even parted the same way) and is also about 5" shorter than I had asked, waaay too thin at the bottom, and full at the top making it extremely difficult to style which is already hard for me. My hair looks like a helmet after a shower and the worst part is, I paid over $200 for the cut and spent another $400 on extensions to get some length back because I hated it so much. What sucks about haircuts is that you pay all this money and you can't get it back. I would honestly go somewhere else. This place is two for two on bad stylists for me. read more

Such a cute salon with an amazing interior. Ashly is insanely good and super friendly-- really love getting my haircut with her! Absolutely obsessed with my cut (done with a razor!!!) I feel like she really brought out my natural texture! Such a good haircut I basically never need to style my hair for it to look good. 10/10 book with Ashly! read more

I drove from Denver to Boulder to see Ashly for the first time a couple weeks ago and let me tell ya, more than worth it! She is the queen of razor cutting, bangs and the shaggy cuts we are all wanting. She listened to what I wanted but more importantly what I did not want. It was cute salon and I had great conversation with Ashly. Thank you!! read more

I just moved to Denver and a friend recommended Sweep Balayage Bar. I'm so happy I booked my color appointment with Renee. She moved here from Miami and knows how to give you that "sun-kissed" look that is well-blended and low maintenance. I will definitely be coming back! read more

I have had an absolute amazing experience with Sweep. My hair has gone through A LOT and I'm always scared to try new salons. I can confidently say that I fully trust the Sweep hairstylists with my hair. All of the staff are friendly and welcoming. They are super personable and knowledgeable. The salon itself is clean and SO cute!! The location is right on Pearl and it was super easy to find parking. I would HIGHLY recommend Sweep! read more

Sweep is a beautiful salon. It's very clean and bright. The employees are pleasant and welcoming. But the real kicker was Ashly- she was my stylist and I absolutely LOVED what she did to my head. I knew I wanted a shaggy cut with low maintenance bangs and she delivered 10 fold! Not only did my hair look great leaving the salon, but she taught me how to achieve the same effortless look at home and I've implemented it on multiple occasions! And when I don't, my cut is still perfect and super flattering! I've gotten tons of compliments since visiting her and I can't wait to do so again. All the way from Denver! I'm so grateful to Ashly, and I couldn't recommend her enough! read more

I had Anna and she did such an amazing job on my hair! She knew exactly what to do and did an extraordinary transformation on my hair. Anna was so friendly, professional, and informative. When I first came in I was greeted with friendly faces and smiles, as well as a safe environment with social distancing guidelines. I would 100% recommend getting your hair done here! read more

I took a chance with Sweep after needing a cut and color and I'm thrilled with the results! The Boulder studio is beautiful and my colorist was Anna. She was so thoughtful and listened to what I wanted. She also had good insights as she was cutting my hair on my particular hair needs. I could tell she really knew what she was doing. Ended up with a great color and cut! Will definitely be back for my tune-ups and future balayage! read more

Sweep Salon Boulder - Summer Balayage by Anna - Hair Salons Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

I've walked past here and always thought it was a nice looking salon. Turns out it's just as nice inside. The online scheduling was a bit confusing since they offer a zillion different services and add ons so I just picked one for the time slot. Anna was lovely! Chatty and sweet and actually listened to what I wanted with some nice suggestions. Zero up-sell or product push which is always refreshing. Better still... what I scheduled on line was for services over $200. My actual bill came to $180. I appreciate to no end that I was treated for what my hair needed and not superfluous extras and up charges. That's good customer service. And my hair looks wonderful too! I will be back to see Anna. read more

In love with this place and so glad I tried it out. I needed a new salon for balayage highlights and to keep my layers and curls in place. The space is beautiful and the staff was so friendly. Kate new exactly what to do with my hair. It looks and feels so much better, I really liked the dry trim touch up she did. Can't wait to add some more color before summer! Really like that they specialize in this and don't mess around with all the other things and services. read more

I am so impressed with this salon! I always leave feeling so much better bout my hair. I usually visit and book a Bonjour Blondie appointment with Amy Kidd, who is in high demand and usually booked out a month or so. Amy has always done an incredible job on my hair and is literally the sweetest soul ever. Her work is reviewed highly everywhere that I've been online, for a good reason! This time I booked with Kaitlyn Seikunas as I wanted to get in a little bit sooner than what Amy could have done, and I am over the top excited about the results. Kaitlyn was extremely knowledgeable and able to explain how the results I was looking to achieve may not be doable in one sitting, but she would do her best to get as close to platinum/icy that I wanted. I trusted her all the way through and followed her aftercare advice, and I could not be more pleased with these results. This is the best hair cut I have ever had, and the color is a dream come true. She even was careful to make sure that it would look good grown-out, as the nature of Covid-19 is unpredictable and businesses could shut down again. I'm extremely impressed with Kaitlyn and Amy and will be a loyal customer from here on out. I wish that there were more reviews for Kaitlyn online, as I am so in love with my hair cut/color I want her to get the praise that I feel she deserves. She is a real professional and made my experience with Sweep truly one-of-a-kind. read more

I saw Kaitlyn on Saturday and couldn't be happier!! She did exactly what I was hoping for and more. She also was very sweet and fun to talk to. I got the Bonjour Blondie and it's the perfect balance of having some of my natural color, but also bright and beautiful blonde throughout. I have been on the search for my new salon and stylist for the last few years, and I've finally found it. I am thrilled! read more

Renee really knows her stuff. She found the perfect color for me. I left the salon with a beautiful blow out as well. She's a Miami girl and knows how to spin glamour. She was down to earth, listened to me and asked questions about what I needed. The salon has a cool vibe on Pearl. It was easy to make appointments. I've been there three times and Renee and the staff were consistent. I loved my hair and you can feel confident trying her and the salon. read more

What an amazing experience!!! Haley is such a talented and fun hair stylist. I got the best haircut I've ever had and she was aware of all the details. And of course they are pros in balayage... impressive! A salon to relax. Love my new hair!! read more

Amazing! I saw this place walking on Pearl Street and decided I needed to come in. They did an excellent job with much-needed attention and love for my hair. I felt totally comfortable and trusting. You know you are in good hands. Perks: The place is be-a-utiful. The staff is lovely. PLUS MY HAIR LOOKS BOMB! Yay! read more

I usually don't review a business on Yelp but my experience was phenomenal at Sweep. Kaitlyn listened to my requests and I was not disappointed. I haven't been so excited about my hair in a very long time. I can't wait to return. Thank you Kaitlyn. read more

I am so happy I found Sweep Balayage Bar! Anna was absolutely incredible. She listened to where I was at with my hair and what I wanted to accomplish with my cut and color. Anna was super attentive and made some great suggestions to obtain the look that I was going for. All of the staff were also incredibly friendly and the salon felt extremely COVID safe. I am looking forward to coming back to Sweep in the future and would absolutely recommend them for anyone looking for a great cut and color by an extraordinarily run salon. read more

I drive from Denver to Boulder to see my girl Ashly because she's that GOOD! She is a great listener and can translate what she hears into a beautiful execution. I have given her pictures as a reference before, but it is always my favorite when I just put my trust in her to do something beautiful. Ashly is confident and purposeful with a razor. I love that I can book just a shape up too. I always trust her to do what is best for my hair and my face shape. read more

I came here last week after having Amy recommended by two different friends. I wasn't sure what to expect but I loved it! All the staff were extremely thorough and accommodating, and I definitely feel like I got my money's worth. Amy did an awesome job with my cut and color and I can't wait to come back! read more

Sweep is my new fav hair salon in Boulder! Amy is such a talent, and the prices are very reasonable & affordable. I had balayage done a few months ago, and I am still obsessed with how it turned out. Can't wait to come back! :) read more

I just moved to Boulder from the San Francisco Bay Area. I was dreading trying to find a new salon since I love my old hair stylist who had been doing my hair for over 12 years. I have very long blonde locks and feared the worst... so many horror stories with bleaching. After doing some research I found sweep and feel SO luckily I did! After doing some more digging I found Haley who specializes in blonde and decided to give it a go. Scheduling was very easy and appreciate the text confirmations and reminders since I'm a busy mom. Upon arriving at the salon I was greeted immediately with smiles from the entire staff and offered coffee (oatmilk latte?!). Haley started on time and even though she was working on multiple people at the same time I felt very well cared for. She was sweet, attentive and really knows her stuff. I have been getting foiled for forever which leaves a harsh line... Haley's balayage magic erased that line no problem! She gave me beautiful color and a fantastic trim. I hit the jackpot on first try! Looking forward to my next appointment. read more

I came here about a month and a half ago for balayage and a simple trim. The stylist gave me one of the worst haircuts I've ever had. It's so uneven with longer pieces poking out. And this was a really simple, one length haircut. The color was also subpar. It looked really good for a week or two and then once the toner started to wash out, took on a sort of orange-y hue that is not what I was going for at all. Also the stylist's mask was too big and kept on falling down so I didn't feel super safe, plus she was generally unpleasant. Will not be returning. read more

I went to get a toning treatment and left with my hair looking the exact same as it was when I walked in, just curled. Also, the staff was a bit rude. read more

I had an amazing experience at Sweep Balayage Bar! Anna was my stylist. She was so kind and friendly! She gave me the best balayage I have ever gotten. Also, the business had impecable decor, it gave the studio a homey feel while still being completely professional. All the staff were incredibly nice and they clearly have great COVID-19 safe procedures in place. I would recommend sweep to anyone looking for a balayage! read more

I'm a brunette, going blonde, and Renee has taken such care to make sure my hair remains healthy as she takes me through the process. She is so knowledgable and has all the patience in the world with my million questions. I just moved from Los Angeles and have been looking into the best stylists in Boulder/Denver area. She is hands down one the best I've ever been to anywhere! If you go to Sweep Balayage, I'm sure all the stylists are great, but I highly highly recommend Renee. read more

I went into this appointment with a balayage that was very brassy and yellow and with Anna's help and work it looks amazing and just how I wanted it! She was very helpful and took time to understand exactly what I wanted which I really appreciate. Immediately I knew she knew exactly what she was doing, which made me very confident it was gonna turn out great, which it did. Super happy with results:) read more

Kate is incredible. My favorite salon. Balayage is exactly what I was looking for - trim is perfect. Highly recommend!
