Salon Du Beau Monde

I had a great experience at Salon du Beau Monde. I had a cut and highlight/lowlight combo in the first week of June '08. Dallas did both my cut and color, He is very calm and confident, my hair looks great, he put me on the right track to get my hair the way I want it. The color is exactly what I wanted, he did everything with care and precision. The results are the best I have ever had. The experience was very relaxing as there was none of that typical salon snobbery or arrogance, Dallas is completely above all of that because he truly knows what he is doing! They stay open late which is great! If you are looking for a great salon, look no further.

I felt compelled to write here and describe my very positive experience after I'd recommended this place to a friend and she called me to tell me about the negative reviews on this site. I hadn't noticed the reviews before, and was actually shocked. Dallas, the owner, is a wonderful and skilled stylist, who is super nice and friendly. He works with different hair textures and styles, and I always love what the salon does with my (and others') hair. In fact, it's near perfect when I leave! The staff members are also nice and welcoming. In fact, I moved into the neighborhood recently, happened to walk by, and stopped in and made an appointment--no fuss, no muss. Everyone was nice and professional, and I've been going ever since.

I have been to this salon twice for a haircut. I was not satisfied the first time but went back again anyway out of convenience (location). The same hair dresser, a young blonde that seemed inexperienced and unfriendly cut my hair both times. The second time once the cut was over I was asked to look in the mirror and let her know what I thought. When I told her that I thought it looked like a mushroom top and that the top layer was too short, she said" well there is nothing I can do with that because it is too short". WHY would she have cut a layer well above my ears, who does that??????????? She said that her own doing was too short!!!!!! I will never go to this salon again. That young lady should go back to beauty school. Also, I am a dog lover, but not a fan of fleas. If you do not mind bad haircuts, rudeness and fleas then this place is for you. Very unfortunate.

Beau Monde is an attractive salon conveniently located in the CBD. I visited the salon once after growing out a "bad haircut" for over six months. The stylist who cut my hair seemed very skilled. Unfortunately the stylist either misunderstood or disregarded me during our initial consult. I was very specific about not wanting thick bangs or fringe around my face and the stylist cut the same thick bangs I'd just spent half the year growing out. When I returned to the salon to request she tweak the cut her solution was to cut deeper layers in the back of my hair. I finally returned a third time with photos of how I wanted the front of my hair to be angled away from my face. She declined to work further on my hair. When I requested further assistance the proprieter of the salon declined to assist me or to refer me to an alternative stylist, or even to evaluate the cut and provide some styling recommendations to make the cut easier to live with as it grew out. This experience was stressful and humiliating. The real measure of a company's service standards is demonstrated in their responses and efforts when a mishap occurs and this salon was a complete disappointment in that regard.

Pros: Good location, clean environment, intimate atmosphere

Cons: In my opinion the salon did not assist me when mistakes were made with my haircut.

I came in from out of town (usually get my hair cut at Vidal Sassoon in Bostno) and just couldn't stand my hair. I called and was able to get an appointment with DeShea the same day. I explained what I wanted - shorter, choppy layers and straight bangs. It was a very different style and she did a great job. I was impressed with the fact that she listened to what I wanted and was able to execute it beautifully. I highly recommend her.

Pros: Great cut, easy appointment, good value

Excellent salon. They were able to correct my hair color and cut... the result of a bad experience elsewhere. Great service... what a hair salon should be.

My initial haircut experience was not good, but the owner (Dallas) did not cut my hair. Dallas called me a week after my haircut to see if I was satisifed with my haircut. I told him I wasn't. He re-cut my hair and restyled it - to my satisfaction. And he didn't charge me for the service. Dallas is a very talented hair stylist. I'm very picky about my haircut and Dallas definitely ranks as one of the best stylist I've ever had. I wasn't happy with the guy who initially cut my hair. I don't know the other stylist. I can only recommend Dallas. He is excellent, and very personable.

Pros: intimate atomosphere

Cons: Dallas - excellent

I was wearing longer hair for a long time, but felt it was aging me. I guess that I dindn't want to admit it, but the team of professionals were so convincing, just let them work thier magic. They cut my hair short and colored it...Let me tell you that is was the most confidence building experience I have ever had. I love my. I just wash, dry it with my fingers, comb it back with some paste they sold me, then with my fingers at the crown I push to hair forward, perfection. Everyone says it looks great! Thanks to Salon du Beau Monde...

Pros: Love it..., Love it..., Love it...

This is the best environment that I have ever been in. Upbeat and very knowledgeable staff, really makes you feel at home. It is a very intimate place, only four stylist, that cater to your every need. You better get here if you are thinking about a new color, its the best, what more can I say...

Gong to a new salon is always stressful; however, the staff at Salon Du Beau Monde made me feel very welcome. The atomsphere was definitely one of relaxation and patience. Definitely worth the extra cost.

Pros: Knowledgable, Relaxing
