I was in panic mode when a friend recommended Alter Ego. I decided to give it a shot and took the quick quiz on their website to see which stylist would be the best fit for my hair texture and needs. The results led me to Abby B, and thank goodness they did. I called in and booked an appointment for the very next day. From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming and professional. I explained my hair situation to Abby, and she immediately made me feel heard and reassured. She took the time to understand exactly what had gone wrong, and more importantly, what I wanted going forward. To say Abby worked miracles would be an understatement. She carefully assessed the damage and worked her magic to reshape and revive my hair. I walked out with a cut that not only fixed the disaster but actually looked better than what I had originally hoped for. Abby truly listened, gave thoughtful suggestions, and showed serious skill and care. I'm beyond happy with how everything turned out and can confidently say I've found my new go-to salon. If you're looking for a stylist who's talented, kind, and truly invested in making you feel good about your hair, Alter Ego, and especially Abby B, is the place to go.

This was a terrible experience, and I will not be coming back. The appointment felt rushed, and the…read morestylist clearly did not listen to what I wanted, even after I explained and showed reference photos. The final result looked nothing like what we discussed. The cut was uneven, the styling was sloppy, and I left genuinely upset. When I brought up my concerns, the stylist became defensive instead of trying to fix the problem. For how much I paid, this level of service is unacceptable. To make things worse, I overheard multiple stylists talking badly about another coworker and using foul language. It created an uncomfortable, unprofessional, and negative atmosphere. This is not the kind of environment anyone wants to sit in for hours. Overall, this was a complete waste of time and money. I would not recommend this salon to anyone.

The haircut was done so well that it is not possible to have a bad-hair day! Negatives: It was super expensive, I didn't know until I arrived for my appointment that there is an automatic tip of 20% added to the bill. Also, there was an upcharge of approximately $80 after my consult. I don't know what the upcharge was for, and I was too shocked/embarrassed to balk over the cost in this luxury salon. Do I plan to return to Salon Eden? Yes, but only for the haircut. I can't justify spending over $500 on my hair, no matter how beautiful it all turned out.

She delivered on everything I asked for and was very clear in the questions she asked to determine my final look. I didn't realize there was a bar inside until I got there and would consider booking an appointment with a friend or even bringing my spouse along next time. Pricing was on par with what I am used to spending on a cut and color. Thanks for the perfect chop I needed for the summer!

I have been a loyal client of your salon for years, but my recent experience has left me extremely…read moredisappointed. On September 25, 2025, I received an email reminding me of my appointment scheduled for September 27, 2025. Immediately after receiving this email, I called the salon to cancel my appointment since there was no option to do so through the email itself. I called three times without an answer and ultimately left a voicemail requesting cancellation. Despite this, I received an email today stating that my card on file would be charged for missing the appointment. I promptly called your salon to clarify the situation and explained that I had canceled by voicemail on September 25. The person who answered the phone was dismissive, and when I spoke with the owner, I was made to feel as though the responsibility fell on me for not replying to the email or a text message. To clarify: I do not receive text messages from your salon. I did not reply to the email because I had already called and left a voicemail. It is your responsibility to check and respond to client voicemails. Additionally, I called today at 11:29 a.m. and was told I would receive a call back within 30 minutes. That call never came. This lack of professionalism is unacceptable. I respectfully request a full refund of the cancellation charge. I hope you will honor this request and reconsider how communication and customer service are handled in the future.

At scheduling time, the receptionist was very nice and worked with me to find a time that fits schedules well. I was scheduled with Michaela for a Halo face framing type situation and was greeted very kindly by her and everyone else at the front desk. They offer you water and other beverages there as you arrive. There is also local crafted jewelry in the sitting area to browse. Getting back to hair, Michaela was very personable, funny, nice, and professional. The experience was nice and it feels like you're just chatting with an old friend. Honestly I probably chat too much but the story of my life LOL. They take you back to the hair washing area which is quiet and Serene, ready for relaxation. They also offer you and I mask type essential oil situation where you can pick different scents. After your hair is done washing you get processed and then you go back to your sitting area. It took a little bit to get my hair to the desired look but Michaela and the salon made it very easy to work with and get the results we were hoping for. I appreciate them for being so accommodating and ease of everything. Michaela is a great stylist and I would recommend booking with her anytime! Not only will she make your hair look better but just speaking with her makes your day better too.
