- NJNicole Jones4 days ago3.0Beautiful salon, felt very rushed and impersonal. I had to follow the hairdresser around to try and show her pictures of what I was interested in and she just said “Ok so not too short?” She threw on a video that helped and the cut was done quickly. Just felt it could of been a better first haircut experience as it was explained to be over the phone. We were supposed to get a photo and hair keepsake- I had to ask at the end, but my son was already over it and outside. Won’t be returning unfortunately.
- JMJoshua MalleryNov 17, 20255.0Haircut for my son was great, I won't hesitate to come back. It's worth mentioning the location is a strong point located immediately next to a playground and pizza (by the slice) shop.
- LCLila CapraNov 13, 20255.0Awesome place for your littles first hair cut! Took my two year old girl and she loved sitting in the special car seat and getting ribbon in her hair afterwards. They also print out a little picture as a keepsake for "baby's first haircut" We had Betty and she was great.
- ACAshley ColemanNov 10, 20255.0Go see Mel for sure. I've been seeing her for over a year and a half. Not only is she a total girls' girl but she knows what she's doing when it comes to cut and color. She is a lovely human and a great hairstylist overall. You definitely won't be bored with her. She is able to help you reach your hair goals but is honest in what works best for your looks and lifestyle. She's realistic with what magic she can work and what you can handle. She has always taken great care of my hair and isn't afraid to tell you what will and will not work for you. She's a solid 12/10. Don't sleep on Mel
- ASAmy SmithOct 23, 20255.0Hands down the best kids salon we’ve found in Denver in over 10 years. My daughter has long wavy hair which while gorgeous, Is so challenging to brush and keep up. And then came Nicole - the amazing wonder hairstylist who advised us to cut some longer layers and use some new products. AMAZING. what a difference. Add to this, she added a cute side braid, ribbon and some tinsel hair so my kid could rock out at the Taylor Swift video premiere movie that night. Never going anywhere else. Ever.
