Well I'm crushed. I went in to see my amazing stylist, right as her previous customer was checking out. The poor woman looked like she was about to cry. To be fair, so did my stylist. She was having to explain how the owners had changed the prices, so her total went from $75 to $130!! For the exact same thing! Listen, I've been in the elite spa industry for 20 years. Working with double six figure stylists. This...has NEVER happened!!! One of my closest friends, and godmother to my daughter, who retired from clairol, said "100%, never go back. The only excuse for THAT, is greed". She also told me to ask if the owners cut decided to take time off, because that's one excuse for suddenly jacking up their prices that much. I'm not going back, though. My appointment was for two men's cuts and a dry cut. Our total was $150!! Again, I'm heartbroken. Best of luck to you Robin, you really are phenomenal. read more

I loved the place other than how the lady who did my hair got mad because I had to pick up the phone for my kid who had turned out to have an emergency so I had to ask her if it was okay to make another appointment yet she said that I made her waste her Time and I did pay her full price even tho she only washed it cuz I felt bad she told me no to making another appointment which when I asked the manager she had said she was sorry and the lady kept telling her not to let me make another appointment yet my kid was in the Hospital read more

When you move to a new city, it's tough to find a great dresser who gets you. After reading the reviews from Yelp, I made an appointment. I was so happy with my hair styled by Fred. I got my color done - Biolage-,by Sabrina. The whole experience was amazing! read more

Michaela is an angel sent to bless us all with fierce hair. I get compliments on my hair nearly every day thanks to Wicked Salon! But I confess -- I wasn't always this fabulous. Before coming here, I had never been really happy leaving a salon nor could I get on the same page with the stylist for what I was looking for. I knew this place was The One as soon as I sat in Michaela's chair and she started asking me Q's. Michaela took the time to evaluate my hair and make real recommendations on what would work for me and came up with a plan to get me to the color I wanted to be. On subsequent visits, she always asks if adjustments need to be made. She truly cares about making her clients happy. Just an update to say that Sadie and Sabrina are also fierce and fabulous angels who have helped me on occasion. Sabrina's color is on point and Sadie's blowouts will get you a man, honey! read more

Wicked Salon is a gem! Fred is a miracle worker, the salon is bright, comfortable, and clean, and there is always good conversation. At the salon I was offered hot tea and made to feel at home right away. I have thick, unruly Irish hair and I have never found anyone who can cut it in such a way that I wake up with tame, perfect hair every morning...until Fred. Now my hair is on point from dawn til' dusk, no exaggeration. I am hooked for life and I will never go anywhere else, nor will I trust anyone but the lovely staff of Wicked Salon with my hair. read more

Wicked Salon - Amazing haircut from Fred at Wicked Salon! - Hair Salons Near Me - West Springfield, Massachusetts

I needed to find a new hairdresser, asap but as we know, that can be an anxiety inducing process! Fortunately, I turned to YELP which lead me to WICKED Hair Salon! After reading all the glowing reviews I knew this was the place I felt most comfortable trying. At Wicked you get the Best of both worlds!! 1st Michaela; Michaela is a colorist who's spent many years in NYC perfecting her craft. Let me tell you my hair was no easy task! My normal ( BLACK) roots were growing in & after my last hairdresser over processing my hair to the point of hair breaking off, I was afraid I would have to wave Buh bye to my ( anything but God-given) blonde locks. Michaela took the time to ask me what it was I wanted to do & after hearing I "wished" I could stay blonde, she went way above & beyond to not simply touch up my roots, but rather Very meticulously adhering the bleach, then color, only to the black root line ( did I mention I have massively thick hair?) so she had her work cut out for her (pardon the pun;) she did many more steps & when she was done I was truly in Awe of the beautiful color, so natural, you'd never know I was born with nearly Black hair!..now my Cut :).. Fred, Stylist extraordinaire; I was watching the attention to detail this man took with each of his clients. I've patronized many a salon in my day & the norm has become overly chatty Hairdressers who often put more attention on the conversation than to your hair ( atleast that's comprised an abundance of my experiences) not so here! After looking at your hair closely, he then works his magic but you can tell he does t just settle for "good enough"! Even after your hair is styled & dry, when others would send you on your way, he takes a final look & trims any stray ends, really not settling for less than perfect! As I told them both my Cheeks hurt from smiling by the time they were done! Lol They work as a Team & truly compliment Eachother! I'd be remiss if I didn't acknowledge the young Lady who greeted me so warmly ( sorry I didn't get her name). She offered me something to drink & was so helpful to Fred,Michaela & all the customers! I prob shouldn't rave anymore, out of fear they'll become too busy!? Lol They deserve 10stars but since 5's all I can give, here it is! Thank you Team Wicked! :D read more

Wicked Salon - Don't it make my black hair, blonde? Lol - Hair Salons Near Me - West Springfield, Massachusetts

Of all the places I've had my hair cut in Western Massachusetts, Wicked Salon is now my favorite by far! Fred's amazing skills with scissors and razor yielded one of the best summer styles I've ever had. That would be enough to earn a five-star review on its own merits, but Wicked deserves a sixth star for customer service. It was, hands down, the most hospitable, friendly, and enthusiastic crew I've ever met. I got there early and had a short wait before they were ready for me (at exactly the time of my appointment). While I was waiting, they really went out of their way to make me feel at home. The shortbread cookies (shaped like the salon's logo) are a great touch, and really show the attention they pay to even the smallest details. I can't recommend Wicked highly enough -- if you don't need a haircut right now, just book yourself a scalp treatment so you have an excuse to drop by. I promise, you'll never want to get a haircut anywhere else again. read more

I've been going to Wicked salon for a few years, I found them by watching Mass Appeal on channel 22 demonstrating different tips on hair cuts, coloring, styling. Fred cuts my hair and he takes his time doing your haircut. I've had Michela do my highlights on my hair, I'm very satisfied with the service. You have to make appointments as there is no walk in service. All the staff is very friendly and accommodating. read more

I was a fan of Fred's from DC so was very happy when he moved to Massachusetts. He's a total pro and his reputation is well deserved. Really cool and comfortable place. It feels like they've air lifted a piece of SOHO and dropped it in West Springfield (minus the pretentiousness, congestion and urban prices) Welcome to the neighborhood! read more

Fred is really nice and a skilled hair stylist, worth the wait to book appointment. He was able to look at a picture off my phone and cut my hair better than the models pic read more

Wicked Salon - My fresh cut from Fred. Ready for summer - Hair Salons Near Me - West Springfield, Massachusetts

Just moved to the area and Fred is the best! Takes the time to understand EXACTLY what you want out of your haircut. Very professional and friendly service. Highly recommend! read more

I went there for my first "hair cut" in like 5 years or so. One of the owners did it and it came out great. I got what I wanted. I loved the decor inside as well. I would definitely go there again but they're always booked. Only reason I didn't give it a five star is because of their prices but other than that I highly recommend! read more

Have you ever been to a restaurant and you were seated right away, the service was incredible and the food was out of this world? Then you thought about writing a review but paused for a moment... 'OH NO, OTHER PEOPLE ARE GOING TO FIND OUT ABOUT MY FAVORITE SECRET SPOT AND RUIN IT!' That's where I am right now, but obvs, for hair salons. I have tried countless salons in MA, CT and NY since my favorite stylist left without any notice. Admittedly, I have difficult and uncooperative hair to color, cut and style. After requesting the usual caramel Level 5 or 6 brunette, I have walked out of many salons with black or blonde hair. Cue the tears and hysterics. This has happened at the most high end and high priced salons in East Longmeadow, NoHo, Boston, and NYC. No more! Michaela is a hero. I adore her work. I explained my past hairstyling problems and what I wanted. She made a few recommendations and got to work fixing my color and free hand painting my highlights. She seemed confused why other stylists had trouble in the past so I waited anxiously to see the results... PERFECT! GORGEOUS! AMAZING! I am so happy! It has been 4 weeks since I went in and the color has held up extremely well. I will go back in a couple weeks for a touch up and I'm excited to get my hair cut by Fred this time too. Also, the prices are insanely low for the quality service you get, even for Western MA. Please transfer those savings into the tip so Michaela sticks around! Do yourself a favor and set up an appointment at Wicked Salon. Like the shampoo, there will be No More Tears. If you could also do me a favor - please don't ruin my favorite secret spot. ;) read more

I live in DC and I've been going to Fred to get my hair cut for years. I'm sure a lot of local patrons were devastated when they heard he was relocating to Mass. I'd had one crappy haircut after another, when I landed on Fred back in 2008, that was it. He does an EXCEPTIONAL men's haircut. I was introduced to him by a friend who is a partner at a DC law firm and she also has been going to him for years. He's a little more expensive than the average guy, but it's worth every penny. I can easily go four to six weeks without another trim and my hair still looks good. West Springfield just got hooked up! He's the best. Get on his client list before he's completely booked. read more

Will never go back. Owner and some staff were cold and rude. I had a terrible time and my hair was ruined. I wasted my time and money. Terrible experience. read more

Go here. I am so thrilled with Fred I don't even know where to start. He was on time (a first for me) and professional and sweet and considerate and I look FABULOUS. My boyfriend stopped dead when I walked in and gushed about my experience with me for an hour, seriously, not just that oh, honey, you got your hair cut thing they do when they know they're expected to say something. It's rare we're both impressed by something like this; normally it's just, yep, this stuff is in my way, again, time to deal with it. I feel lighter, my hair is happy, soft, calm and elegant. There's just too much to put into a review, frankly. I'm always nervous going to a new salon. I have long hair and it can take years to recover from a bad cut, so I'm extremely pleased I trusted Yelp and Fred. Thanks, Fred, for your consideration and skill, and also thanks to all you other patrons who thought to tell me go here. I appreciate that time was available for me and I'm looking forward to going back. I'm looking forward to bringing everyone I know, too, as I can't think of a better way to thank Fred for being so profoundly excellent. I also liked what his associates were up to, what I saw for the ten whole minutes I was waiting (I showed up early), so I'm sure anyone who helps you here will be delightful. read more

First rate pros. If you're looking for a pro who can get into your head and understand the look you are seeking, look no further. I found these folks online and felt fairly confident about my pick but you never really know until you go through the experience. It was perfect from A to Z. I was greeted by a friendly staff; the person who washed my hair, Mattie, was great. The person who cut my hair, Fred, knew exactly what I wanted and precisely how to get there. There is some interpretation to be done by the artist and they either have that gift or they do not. He's got it and I felt that I could trust him from the moment our intro conversation concluded. I'm a customer for life as far as I'm concerned. I've had a lot of haircuts and a lot of hair dressers but this is at a level of precision that I've always wanted but never had. Just do it. read more

I have been looking to find a good hair stylist for ever- and the search ended with Fred Hawck at the Wicked Salon. The best hair cut I ever had. I would recommend the Wicked Salon 100% read more

I've had my hair cut twice and I had an anti frizz treatment done by Fred, and I'm so happy with everything he has done. He's so professional, but sweet and warm, and he really has a much appreciated sense of what kind of style will suit me. I will be getting my hair and make up done by him and Michaela for my wedding, and I'm already so pleased with the guidance and information they've given me. Their hours are so accommodating, and they also have great products. Plus, Fred gave me a head massage that nearly made me hallucinate. I'm so happy I've found this salon! read more

I have been getting my haircut with Fred for about 2 years. He does a great job every time. The atmosphere is casual, relaxed and friendly. I can't remember the last time that I had gotten compliments on how my hair looked. But it has happened several times since Fred has been cutting it. read more

How lucky are we to have a top New York color expert and top DC stylist right here in Western Mass. It's Wicked awesome. Michaela did Balayage highlights on my dirty blonde hair (previously highlighted and well overdue) and it looks awesome. My parents think it looks great! I am so happy that when it grows out it will still look natural, AND balayage lasts longer. Fred spent a lot of time on my cut- he cut both wet and dry-talk about precision cutting! Love it- he knew just what to do with my shape face and my high volume of hair. My husband loves it! I really want to take him there for a Fathers Day scalp treatment, cut, and grey blending. Heard Fred specializes in men with thinning hair and also does short tapers and contemporary looks. My daughter loves her cut too! Fred and Michaela are so nice and professional. I highly recommend this place if you value quality and a nice experience! read more
