Not good for guys

by DDLion at Citysearch

I walked into the salon and requested advice on what sort of styles and such would look good with my face and expressed a few concerns about my hair that I'd like to correct. Neither of these were addressed by the stylist. It seems as if she merely evened out and trimmed my hair without styling it and without regard to what my type of hair needed. I walked in there ready to pay any price for an excellent haircut, and walked out thinking it was overpriced (Even though $30 isn't that much). I guess they assume guys don't mind mediocre haircuts (or won't notice). I usually get my hair cut at Cuttin' Loose (where I will be returning) but had to try this place because of the raves. I was going to give this place 3 stars because it was OK, but the the casually racist comments by the stylist deserve a 1-star reduction.

• Pros: Proximity to better salons, I've heard they do good color
• Cons: Expected a more thoughtful haircut

ALWAYS a great haircut and fabulous color

Steven has been cutting my hair for about 4 years now and I am ALWAYS happy with the cut. Monique does a wonderful job of my color and is always pleasant, upbeat and gives an incredibly relaxing shampoo massage! Everyone at the salon is clearly interested in making each of my visits a very positive experience. I'm so happy I found them!

• Pros: Talented, attentive and personable staff

The best NOLA salon for cut // color

by Babs 2 at Citysearch

After 20 years I can say that I have always received a consistently expert cut for baby fine hair and color is always spot on.....my hair never has that awful "dyed" look.

People cannot believe that I have such fine hair because Steven cuts it so well that it has so much body.

Monique and Kirsten are delightful -- both are very knowledgeable and talented.

The shop atmosphere is very inviting.

I recommend SSS to all!!
