I had such high hopes when I made a reservation because a few people recommended the salon to me. I made an appt with Jennifer after hearing she knew how to handle my particular hair type. All I needed was a simple cut and root touch up. Cut was good, but to root touch up was definitely not. I got home and looked closer in the mirror and noticed my forehead, ears, eyebrows, and scalp all had color stains! I spent the next 30min trying to remove stains from my skin! I rubbed a Qtip on my scalp and removed excess color. I had a feeling it would be bad because when rinsing my head, she barely touched my scalp. This cost me $160 PLUS tip!! Aside from the stained skin and excess color left on scalp, I still have gray hairs showing. Obviously this salon is an expensive lesson learned for me. A one and done. Next! read more

I hesitated to post an honest update on my experience because I didnt want to sound cruel. I did not share my real thoughts at my last hair appointment as it took everything in me not to cry at the hack job of a cut. I had a few decent cuts here but started to get invasive and prying comments and questions each time I went in. My hair was never quite even and it was blamed on my styling technique. Thats not true because I've styled my curly cuts for years with another stylist from another salon and it was never uneven. I was unable to find a different stylist in the interim so I stuck with her for a few cuts despite my instinct to not go back. My final visit with Tammura was more uncomfortable than usual. Of course, stylists ask you about your life. However, upon hearing news of my recent engagement, I received comments such as "Well, I hope you have plenty of savings." I received other inappropriate and judgmental comments previously and afterwards but you get the idea. I might be able to look past it for a stellar haircut but Tammura was so preoccupied with judging my personal life that she rushed through my cut and butchered my bangs beyond repair. She had previously cut them well and, after asking for the same thing this time around, she cut them to about two inches long. Thats right, my bangs one month before my wedding (which I had made her aware of from the beginning) were cut to look like Lord Farquad. They stuck straight out without the help of a flatiron and hair oil. Overall, I found her increasingly rude and careless and she does not take pride in her work. If you're picky about your cuts, use someone else. read more

I have a lot of hair, and it is long, also tender headed. I have been doing my own color for most of the last five years waiting to find someone who understood the color that I wanted, but also wouldn't leave me in tears. Karen Yates, my colorist, as it turns out is from my neck of the woods in LA. She recommended bleach, something I haven't done in several years due to the damage I experienced. I let her know she was in control, and my hair went to red brassy, yellow to a perfect shade of blonde. My hair looks great, color is perfect. I trust her and will return there again. She even did a touch up cut on my bangs. read more

The inside of the salon is beautiful & Emily Webb did an amazinggg job on my hair, it's exactly what I pictured! Will definitely be coming back! read more

This review is about the very fierce and fabulous Liz! My stylist of 6 years had run off to 'find a real job', as she put it...which left me full of sorrow and feeling a bit lost. She had been rocking out my hair for such a long time, and the idea of starting over with someone new made me nervous. However, a friend of mine ran into me one night sporting one of the most badass hairstyles I had ever seen on her, and I begged for a referral. She directed me to Liz Layne...and I was instructed that she was a bundle of spitfire Southern charm....not to mention a sorceress of hair magic. I HAD to go check this out. My friend was so right. Liz is funny, sweet, and man did she rock out my shaggy, long neglected 'do. I left with something she called a cross between Retford and Pitt...and I have been in love with her ever since. She also won't break your wallet for the amazing skills at her disposal. I have referred my asian fiance to her, my three best friends, and I regularly send people to experience her awesomeness. She has a lot of experience with many types of hair, and many types of cuts. She seems particularly skilled at giving people something that is edgy yet fashionable or vintage and relevant. An extra note: Liz REALLY shines with how well her cuts grow out. I have been swamped with work and with moving, and haven't been able to see her with my normal frequency lately. My hair still looks pretty damn good. (I am supremely looking forward to my appointment in a week, however...) Go see her. Love her. Tell yo frands about her! She is worth it! read more

Emily did an awesome job. My sister is the only person that ever cuts my hair, but she lives 3 hours away now. Needed a new stylist in town. The salon is really nice also. Check her out! read more

Great view of the square downtown. Friendly, casual atmosphere. I highly recommend it. Ask for Melody, she does an amazing job. I've always gotten a great hair cut from her. She also does my wife's hair, it always looks great! read more

Attention all future brides! Urban Image Studio's Emily Webb is a hair queen! I had Emily come to our wedding venue on our sweet wedding day to do my hair (the bride) and my 5 additional bridesmaids! She showed up on time (actually early which is a plus on a day like this) and successfully styled all 6 of the ladies hair. She styled each girls hair different upon request, and did such a fantastic job; ambiguity is her jam yall! Several of my bridesmaids told me post wedding day that Emily's hair styling was the only wedding hair they have ever had styled and hold throughout a whole days wedding festivities. She also threw fresh flowers (provided by us) in our hair, which is harder than it sounds! I would trust Emily with my wedding hair 100x again and again rain or shine no matter what the location or season! She also does a great job on natural hair cuts and colors-she does mine on the regular. Show em some love y'all, and let her work some hair magic on ya! read more

One star would be too much for this salon. I wanted a red/brown balayage. However, because I am not a cosmetologist I did tell her that the brown in my roots wasn't natural. So we compromised to just keep the roots the same brown. Instead, she colored my WHOLE head FREAKING BROWN. What's more, I left with my hair STILL WET AND NOT STYLED. Oh yeah, and I still got charged $212. DO NOT GO TO THIS SALON. read more

The salon is comfortable and cool. I have A LOT of hair and have always been super picky about my stylist. I randomly walked in to Urban Image and met Hilary Drake. 4 years later, I have not been to anyone else. She is amazing!! read more

Thanks Elizabeth! Wonderful to meet you and fantastic cut. Definitely recommend checking this place out for terrific service and a great haircut. Very welcoming and personal to really get a feel for how to best cut your hair. Trust me, mine was a big rat's nest trying to grow it out to try and hide my monster melon head! Elizabeth has ESP!!!! LOL! Somehow knew just to clean it up on the first go around!!!!!! read more

Really pleased with my first visit with Hillary. I found her by searching for a new stylist on Yelp. Her positive reviews were spot-on. I went to see her in hopes of finding someone local who could nail the color I wanted first time around. She exceeded my expectations! Loved the color from day one and still happy a month later. Looking forward to being a return customer! read more

Let me start by saying that I live in Nashville and make the 30+ minute drive just to see Melody (who was formerly in Berry Hill)--she's THAT good. Scheduling is always easy, it's inexpensive (she still gives me a slight discount for being an "existing client," even though I saw her only once before she moved locations). Cute studio located in the square downtown, Keurig coffee and fun music, great magazine selection. Melody always listens to what I have to say and every time I leave, I truly like my hair more than the previous time. She's amazing. She's super sweet and there's none of that awkward hairstylist small talk. I love her, and I'll continue making the drive for my hair! read more

I used to be one of those guys who wouldn't pay more than $10 for a haircut until after one of the budget haircut episodes left my hair looking like a bling man with a butcher knife cut it. My wife recommended (as she had 1,000 times) to go see Hillary. She fixed the hack job and I have gone to Hillary ever since. I love how I can walk-in, sit down and get my hair cut without having to explain what I want every time. I'll never go back to the budget clippers again. If I had a time machine I would go back and punch my old self and chastise him for mutilating his hair all of these years. Hillary Drake is the lady to see. read more

I recently moved to Murfreesboro last spring and I feel very fortunate to have found Liz. Because I am very particular, I was very much stressing about who I would find to take care of my personal needs and she fits the bill perfectly! I have fine hair and deal with hair loss, making it difficult to select and maintain a hairstyle. When my hair is cut right it looks great...when it's not, I have difficulty hiding a bad hair cut! With Liz it's not just a haircut, IT'S A WORK OF ART. She takes her time, and she LISTENS. She is trendy, yet she can create a classic hairstyle to suit any desired look. There is no plain jane here....even the simplest cuts have a slight edge. Her customer service is superb and she is pleasant and fun to be with. The salon is cute, friendly and intimate, not at all intimidating in any way. Liz....don't go anywhere and thanks for the great job! read more

We moved to TN from TX last year not knowing anyone for recommendations on hairdressers. I thankfully found out about Hillary Drake from a neighbor and will be forever grateful. Hillary Drake is by far the best stylist I've ever used! My husband even goes to her, too! No more in & out barber shops. He's spoiled by Hillary's awesome techniques. The salon itself has an awesome and inviting vibe! I love everything about Urban Image & Hillary Drake! read more

This was my second time at Urban image and I really raised the bar and Liz exceeded it! She knew exactly how to cut/style to maximize my naturally wavy hair, AND she rocked the Oil Slick Hair trend I asked for, all faster & cheaper than expected! I just showed her a picture and she nailed it! A really lovely experience in a great location with a very awesome knowledgeable stylist. You're my girl, Liz! read more

i got my hair done here for prom by Ashlee and it was so great and such a great vibe and experience

Urban Image was wonderful! As other reviews have stated, it's in a great location right downtown Murfreesboro, with plenty of parking. The inside is very clean and updated, with a cool, modern style. It was also very busy, which is a good sign to me, as that shows they have a large following of loyal customers. My stylist, Samantha, was great! I only went in for a cut, but she still took her time to help me decide what look would work best for me. She worked quickly, but was very personable, and did a great job styling my hair as well! I will definitely be back! read more

They worry about price more than the quality of your hair in my opinion if u r a blond Do not go to this place maybe it's the product but it's by far the worst turn out I showed her a picture of cool blond and came out w an extremely warm bronze blond now I have been platinum b4 and I know how long it takes to get there how many processes excetra but after she got done it was darker than my hair when I walked in and the lighting was bad the lights above threw off the color the window was letting in maybe it's the atmosphere or the stylist all I know is I'm not paying 190 again for all over blond and one color streaks there again read more

Urban Image is in a great location on the square in Murfreesboro - plenty of parking and convenient to other downtown businesses and restaurants you can stroll to after getting a fresh new look by one of their chic stylists. I have been going to Tammura for over five years now. Like Tammura, I have curly hair, so she really understands how to cut and style it. She is also a color expert, and always gives me exactly what I was hoping for, even if my request is vague. I think she has ESP, or at least great intuition. She is always up to date on the latest in hairstyles and fashion, and I know I can trust her to give me candid feedback on my cut/color requests. Tammura is beautiful inside and out, and having an appointment with her always brightens my day. I highly recommend her and the other talented professionals at Urban Image. read more

Urban image is by far one of the best salons I have been to. Hillary does my hair and I absolutely love her! Very sweet woman, & does her job very well. I have been to plenty of other salons and stylists & no one could ever get my hair right. She has done such an amazing job! Highly recommend her!! read more

Samantha and Tammura are both wonderful!!! I am super picky and I couldn't ask for better color or cut. I have lived in Miami and NYC and would fly back to go to Urban Image!! Thank you both!!! read more

I was new to Murfreesboro and needing a hair stylist. I checked out yelp and saw great reviews for Hillary Drake. Well, they were are true. She great with color and scissors. Her scalp massage is the best I've ever had. read more

I asked for a simple haircut "Get the hair off my ears and blend the sides then make the top and front just a little longer." Instead i got a choppy and very very uneven haircut that the barber tried to smooth out with gel. Not a bad tactic to get an easy 20 bucks and making the customer happy until they get home take a shower and wash the gel out. It was probably the worst $20 i have ever spent. I would definitely not suggest going here unless you want to walk around with a haircut that looks like it was done by a 3 year old. read more

This is for the hair stylist Hilary. I actually scheduled my appointment for a different stylist who was recommended by a family member but when I showed up they had Hilary assigned to me. I would have at least liked to know about the switch up front because I would have rescheduled. I have bangs, she cut them super weird. She didn't make an upside down v like all other hair stylists have done, just cut them close to my forehead. This meant I had cut bangs she didn't cut that were a weird length afterwards. And my bangs that she actually cut didn't look cute after. Her blow dry left me frizzy (which is pretty normal for a blow dry) but then zero styling to make my hair look good at all. I left with hair that felt flat, frizzy, and dimensionless. I was hoping to leave feeling good about my hair but honestly it looked better before I came in. And it cost $50. I am used to paying my regular stylist $70 for a great cut and style after. Maybe you have to pay extra for the styling? It was not clear up front. Perhaps there is hair that Hilary excels at doing, but it is not mine. read more

I decided to try one of those temporary color hair dyes for a girls trip. It worked great until 3wks later when it still remained in my hair. It was suppose to wash out after 5 shampoos. The purple was now a dull blue lingering on my tips. Additionally, I decided to lighten up my dirty blonde with an at home color kit. That was the second dumb decision I made on a whim when I couldn't get in with my regular girl. My blonde hair turned this brassy orange color with dull blue tips. Hot, I know. I knew I had to see someone who knew what they were doing to fix my coloring. I read a bunch of reviews & checked out the stylist profiles for numerous salons in the Murfreesboro area. I found Hillary and I liked what I read. It is always intimidating going to someone new and trusting that they know what they are doing. Hillary knows what she is doing!! She did an AMAZING job on my hair. Not only did she fix my coloring mishaps but she brightened it. I never like my hair right after I get it highlighted. It takes about 2 days before I start to like it again. I loved it the moment it was done. I can't stop checking myself out in the mirror. My hair is so pretty. Point of this long story. GO TO HILLARY. She is talented!! read more

the girls that work here take great care of you... and its got a great window looking out at the square... makes you forget you live in murfreesboro read more
