    I had a wedding in Rochester this past weekend and wanted a good place to get my hair done. I am not a local and had never been to Rochester but thankfully one of our family friends pointed us in the direction of Salon W. My appointment was at 10:45am with Sydney and she was available right as I arrived. This salon is very cute and spacious. It is located in the second floor of this building and has very high ceilings and lots of natural light. Sydney was fantastic! She was very friendly, and really worked with me to achieve the exact look I was looking for. My hair looked so nice and I got many compliments on it! It is very clear that this salon has stylists who really know what they are doing. The service is really amazing and the story of the salon is quite charming (apparently founded by some British stylists who have 4 subsequent generations still working there!) Loved my experience here. Definitely would recommend to anyone in the area looking for good hair and make up services!

    Came for a root touch up/highlight, left with still a dark root line...disappointed.

    I was referred by a friend to Jessica to get a highlight and came to get my roots done. The cut and blow out is really nice, but I came specifically for my roots, and wanted that dark root line to be gone. But i feel like they were barely touched. She weaved the finest amount of hair blonde, and left 4x as much hair out. When I pull my hair back it still looks pretty dark around my face, with baby fine highlights. I don't want to be staring at dark roots right after i get my hair done. I dont have free time to sit in the chair a second time for hours, and pay again. I didnt feel comfortable saying anything during because she seemed kinda bothered after I asked her about her pulling the bleach all the way through the midlength of my hair which worried me about breakage. Afterwards,  I said I think you did a great job, its a nice cut, but there's still a pretty significant root line. And she said thanks so much, and walked me out. I felt dismissed, and I don't think I'd even feel comfortable having her fix it.

    Love my balayage coloring and cut by Rachel!

    I've had a few different appointment types at W Salon and all have been fantastic. I've had two haircuts from Maggie- she is so wonderful to work with and was very open to having a dialogue about my hair and preferences. I have very straight hair normally, and I need a specific type of cut to debulk it and build more body. She listened carefully and totally delivered! My hair looked amazing. I loved it so much, that Maggie ended up doing my hair for my wedding. She gave me these amazing curls that lasted the entire night regardless of dancing, and it looked picture perfect. This last time I went to W, I wanted something totally different, and the closest appointment was with Rachel. She gave me a balayage style coloring, and a straighter haircut with less layers. It was a fun change from my usual, and I really love it. Every experience I've had here has been great- the staff is wonderful, they have a fantastic waiting area with a nice selection of drinks, and they do a wonderful job. My advice with going here though is to budget a little extra time and enjoy the process. My haircuts here always have a tendency to go a little long, but as long as you're ready for it and just relax and enjoy it, it's not an issue.

    Not only are all of the staff so sweet and welcoming, but the finished product is always exactly how I pictured it. I starting going there a couple years back for my brows and have recently started getting my hair done there. It is so amazing, they really want you to feel and look your best. They always offer complimentary drinks and are so friendly. My hair stylist is Olivia Parker and boy does she do a phenomenal job. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

    It was my first visit to the W Salon in Pittsford. When I entered the staff gave me s warm welcome which made me feel good. Just a short wait and Michelle DiGrazia was there to greet me for a wonderful, relaxing massage. So caring and sweet. Looking forward to my next visit. Thanks Michelle.

    After!!!! Love it!

    My first time here and my visit was wonderful. I booked my appointment with Jessica R and she was so kind and sweet and very attentive to what I wanted done, balayage and a lob. She suggested to have a few highlights around my face so the balayage would blend in more with my dark hair and I'm soooo glad I agreed! In the end my hair came out much better than I anticipated. It's a shame I am moving to out of town because I think I finally found my salon! I'll be sure to schedule an appointment whenever I am in town. Definitely will be back!!

    Loved my hair & make up done by Gabby and Caroline..

    I needed a blowout for a wedding and usually have a few trusted people I book with, but because of…read morethe holiday weekend and limited availability everywhere, I decided to give this salon a try after reading the reviews. The salon itself was nice and the staff seemed friendly. At first, everything seemed fine, and I clearly explained how I wanted my hair styled. I have a short bob that can be styled in a lot of different ways. When my stylist parted my hair down the middle, I got a little nervous but hoped it would turn out okay. The entire service was done with just a round brush and blow dryer. When she finished, I was honestly disappointed and told her so. The style made me feel like I looked like a little boy, and I said I could have achieved the same result myself at home. She responded by saying that's just how my hair responds, but I disagreed because I've had my hair styled many times before and know what it's capable of. (Basically I called BS) I even offered to show photos of previous blowouts I've loved. What I asked for was simple, some volume with a slightly sleek finish. I also mentioned that my hair can be parted in different ways. At one point she suggested curling it, but after later looking at the salon's website, I noticed they charge extra for flat iron or curling iron work, which may explain why it wasn't initially offered. To her credit, she did try to fix it, and it looked better, but overall I still wasn't very happy with the experience. I paid, tipped, and moved on, but for $45, I personally didn't feel it was worth it. Unfortunately, I wouldn't return.

    I visited for the first time last night an hour before close. I was getting a long hair cut with…read morelayers and adding face-framing bangs after growing out my bangs the past two years. (I also have an important event in a few days, so I was nervous about trying a new stylist.) I've always loved Aveda salons, so I booked with Lisa, a master stylist. Right out of the gate, the entire staff was not only tolerant of my service dog but welcoming. ‍ I typically bring a padded mat for him, but we were crunched for time getting there after work. I didn't mention his mat, but they automatically offered to bring my dog a towel to lay on, which he loved. Lisa asked many clarification questions as to the look I was going for. She let me show her pics and describe my experience with my natural waves and certain products. She told me we would take off the majority of the bangs and then come back after she'd cut the back. Aside from adding subtle layers, I asked her to take off very little length. She listened, which is not ways the case with stylists as we all well know! She then made three passes at my bangs based on not wanting to take off too much. I really appreciated her level of care, empathy, and patience with my service dog and me. I also discussed starting demi coloring with her and asked several questions about products she used to style my fresh cut. I loved how she didn't push products on me like some people do. She was all about making me comfortable Nd happy! Needless to say, she's my new stylist, and I can't recommend her enough!

    Like so many things labeled "fusion" out there, Fusion Salon tends to do American much better than…read morethey do ethnic. Recalling the fondness my most fashionable (White) friend from college had for this place, I came to this place in August 2010. I had just received an iffy haircut from a cheap Asian hairdresser in Swillberg with rudimentary texturizing and fading skills and I wanted something a step above the standard 15-minute haircut. I figured if anyone could cut my difficult hair well, it would be these guys. At first glance, Fusion was all I had ever dreamed of in a salon. They had comfortable chairs and an extensive magazine collection in the waiting area, Vampire Weekend and other cool indie tunes pumping from the speakers, local art on the walls, and Harney & Sons tea in the pantry. The massive leather barber's chair in which I sat to get my haircut was even more comfortable than the chairs in the waiting room and a peppermint facial massage and hot towel treatment came with every haircut. At $30 plus tip, the price was a little steep, but I loved everything about this place. Except my haircuts. While Jes gave me decent, fashion-forward haircuts when I first started going there, it was never exactly what I asked for and I found more and more wrong with the end results as time went on. After about 5 months, I began noticing unevenness (I'm talking 1/2 inch difference from left to right sides) and my fade soon began to resemble a bowl cut. Admittedly, I have two large protrusions of bone on both sides of my head and my Asian hair is ultra straight, but over the years, I have discovered that these things could be compensated for by cutting my hair to a certain shape, rather than cutting it based on how it might look in a couple of weeks or how you believe my hair might eventually fall. Asian hair doesn't fall. Like a bad relationship, I continued going to Fusion probably much longer than I should have because I was comfortable. I liked the people who worked there, I liked the atmosphere, and the haircuts were satisfactory, at times. I knew how difficult it was for me to find someone who could actually cut my hair and I had tremendous anxiety when thinking about searching for a new salon. But I had to break it off. I'm not saying that Fusion Salon isn't a good place to get your haircut. I'm sure if I were a White woman looking to update her look or a White man asking for something easy, I'd probably still go here every three to four weeks. Unfortunately, I don't fall into either of these categories.

    Free drinks, a scalp massage, hot towels... sorry, where was I?…read more Going to Fusion is a fun and relaxing experience. The atmosphere is chill and hip, the staff focused and talented. I've seen Nico many times and he always helps me figure out the right cut, gives me ways to style it, and really puts in extra care, thought, and time. Some of my friends go to Andrea, and I've heard amazing things about Jes. These guys are top notch! A little on the pricey side (depends on who you see) but ask about student discounts.

She clearly explained what to expect when I chose just a color rinse and sure enough the outcome was exactly what she said it'll be. During my appointment I also told her I'd been cutting my own hair for years and wanted to keep my length but get rid of as much split ends as possible. She did exactly that and didn't cut too much. I felt like she really listens to what you want and delivers. It made me feel comfortable going shorter the second time and trying a new style. I have tight coily type 4a-c hair and hadn't gotten my hair professionally straighten in over ten years so I was so happy that my hair turned out straight and the second time it lasted it lot longer. I love that she roller sets me first and then blow dried and straightens it. I didn't have any heat damage. Ultimately I love her salon and the experience. It's so relaxing I want to fall asleep. And she keeps the doors locked so not just anybody could walk in.
