I love the expertise of the ladies here and the friendliness, and honest advice. Hair can be hard for non-stylists but Brooke gave me great advice and a great cut and highlights. I'm going there again tomorrow! :) Parking is easy too: they're across from the public library. And there's a really cool boutique next door too.

So, I am currently sitting under the dryer in this salon/ barbershop on a Monday afternoon. I'm the…read moreonly one here. Mmmmmm! I do realize that Ashland is not a bustling city but shouldn't someone be here getting services too. After sitting at the shampoo bowl and having water and some kind of cream rubbed into my hair, Maria commences to take to my hair with a comb and starts yanking on my hair. I tried to explain that I recently had my hair molded into a bun with gel and she should not try to comb through it. She laughed at me and continued yanking saying it was tangled. Why didn't I just walk out???????? I know, in the end it will be my fault. I should have left, but I stayed. My hair was wet and I didn't want to drive home with wet hair. Later the owners daughter came in and took over blow drying my hair and the owner flat ironed and wrapped it because it was going to rain. I'm sorry but my experience at this salon starting out was not pleasant at all.

Let me start by saying... a few months ago, I came in & got a cut... I walked out thinking it was…read more"eh" but then got home & hated it. Was left w random ass layers that I didn't ask for, and my hair was SOPPING wet when I left. Like it got my damn shirt wet bc of how wet it was. Well I decided to go back in bc it's summer time now & I needed to cut my hair again but this time taking off a couple inches & getting a "long bob" type haircut -- essentially all one length all the way around. I got in the chair w Ms.Sanya, and immediately loved her!! She talked to me abt my hair & we came together to decide how I should do it!! -- communication is key in making sure your hair turns out the way you want & she gets a gold star from me w that!!! So moving on; she sees that I got some random short layers on top that are completely disconnected & need blended, so she tells me & asked if she could blend it! I told her "absolutely! Do what you gotta do, make it cute again!" So she washed, cut, blow dried & straightened my hair to PERFECTION Ms.Sanya showed tf OUT . Bless her heart too bc after she was done blow drying, she was like "I see why you just throw it up when it's long" . My hair is HEAVY. It's thick, it's curly, and there's a LOOOTT of it. It's like a blanket. Ms.Sanya knocked this out the park My hair is EXACTLYYYY how I want it!! It's perfect in every wayyy!!

I don't quite get all the negative review of this location. I've been coming here for about 4…read moreyears and I get a cut roughly monthly to every 1.5 months. There does seem to be a fair amount of turn over. I rarely have the same person twice which is a bit of a bummer. My cuts are fairly straightforward but they do a fine job. Couple of times I've asked for something slightly different and had no issues. I've noticed no one shows you the back of your head anymore so you have to hope it looks good back there. I usually ask for "medium whitewalls" and those could be cut larger in my opinion. Often I ask for them to be taken up further and that's not a big deal. I went there today and some dude waiting didn't like that I checked in online and was going to be taken next. He tried to play the "I'm next" card as if he didn't know there was a list all right in front of us with our names and the stylist politely but firmly told him that he was not next. Again, he tried to press and she rebuffed. Got to admire that spunk to handle it. I was going to step in if she wasn't comfortable handling it. My teenage son got a horrible cut here one time. We flat out believe the stylist did not listen to him and just did what she wanted to do. He won't go back there although I told him you'll likely not see the same person again. I keep going back here. They've always been friendly and get me in and out.
