The Bad Kittie Salon

Kari is amazing! I came in bored with my long hair. She whipped my hair into an awesome bob. She gave me a quality cut and I noticed throughout the service she kept double checking everything to make sure it was super precise. I this perfextionist! #badkittiegoespurrrr

Don’t be skeptical, this is the real deal. Affordable and quaint with a warm staff that know hair. Great section of Colfax for foodies as well if you fancy a walk around. I’ve bounced around hair salons all over Denver and I can’t imagine going anywhere else after discovering this one. Parking is easy, just be careful crossing the street.

Great salon! Lindsey was my stylist she was so nice and friendly and knowledgeable. She did an amazing job on my long thick hair that sometimes can be a problem for other people to cut but she did a fabulous job couldn’t be happier. Would recommend to anyone!

Lindsey did an amazing job on my haircut, color, styling, and makeup. I got exactly what I asked for and turned out even better than I imagined! Highly recommend

I saw Natalie on the 4^th of December and got my terribly grown out bleach blonde hair blended. She did an incredible job! And that’s saying a lot considering I have very difficult, thick, previously color damaged hair. I am also a licensed cosmetologist in Denver and am not the easiest client to please. I would recommend her to anybody. She is also very friendly and easy to get along with. And the prices are great and the salon is adorable. Thank you Natalie for your awesome work! P. S. You can truly tell a good color by how well it fades especially on blown out blonde hair and my hair is fading great.

I seriously cannot say enough nice things about Natalie at the Bad Kittie. From the time she returned my call about making an appointment through when I walked out the door she was absolutely AWESOME! First off, I wanted a new cut, but didn’t know exactly what I wanted so I talked to her on the phone about wanting someone that was going to be honest with me if I picked a cut that would make my face look fat or my super-​thin hair look non-​existent. She was really patient and promised me that they wouldn’t let that happen. She fit me into her schedule in less than a week and when I walked through the door she remembered our conversation and I totally felt at ease. Not only do I love, love, LOVE my cut and color, she was so FUN! If you are looking for a stylist with a fantastic personality and an even better set of skills — Natalie is your girl!

I can’t rave enough about this salon. I’ve been getting my hair cut and styled with Kari for almost a year now (has it been that long!?) and I always leave with that feeling that I just had the best haircut of my life. Kari is by far the best stylist in Denver I’ve been to. Not only is she simply brilliant at what she does, but she also just has one of those personalities that puts you at ease to relax and be yourself. We chat, we joke, we laugh, and I’m always completely confident that she’s giving me an awesome new dew! If I could give 6 stars, I would. Highly recommend Kari Vince at the Bad Kittie Salon in Denver if you’re looking for that stylist to join your team! Thanks Kari! :)

I recently moved to Denver and I was looking for a new hair salon. Based on the good reviews, I decided to try Bad Kittie Salon. I called to schedule an appointment for a haircut and color and was able to get in the same day with Lindsey. I went in at 4:30pm which I know was late (I could not do any earlier because of work) but I did not feel rushed at all. Lindsey took her time and made sure she knew exactly what hair style and color I wanted. The red color I originally wanted would not work with my darker brown hair and so it would have needed to be bleached. I did not want to do that so Lindsey showed me a different color she thought would work well. The color turned out perfect, better than the one I originally wanted. And the cut is super cute. I’ll definitely be going back.

I was a little skeptical of all the great reviews — I mean — how good can a salon be? Well, add my name to the list of the converts. This place is fantastic! Kari listened to what I wanted, gave tips and suggestions and my cut came out perfect. It’s difficult to find someone that cuts short styles really well but she didn’t have any problem. And Kari is an absolute sweetheart to boot so I couldn’t be happier.
The salon is a little small but they work the space really well. And the parking can be… a challenge (I mean, it’s ON Colfax for Pete’s sake) but I didn’t have any trouble finding a spot on one of the side streets. And let’s just say that if parking is the worst issue this salon has — it’s not really going to take away a star or my glowing review. I just mention it so that my fellow Unilocalers give themselves an extra 5 minutes to find parking.
I can’t wait to have Kari give me some highlights the next time I’m in.
Rock on Bad Kittie Salon — you’re doing it right.

The appointment felt very rushed and the style after a cut is just a straight blow-​dry. I wasn’t asked for a particular style, and was never offered a drink. I was charged for mixing extra product, which I am fine with, but wasn’t informed until the end when I had to pay. My hair turned out fine and the stylist was friendly but I felt the overall experience was overpriced and overhyped on Unilocal.It felt rushed because I felt uncomfortable pulls on my neck and was poked by the brush several times, which has never happened to me before. It cost me $ 135 for an all-​over color and cut.

I’ve never really had a go-​to salon before. My friends have always done my hair or I’ve gone to Floyd’s or Costcutters, or just done it myself. But from the second I walked into Bad Kittie I felt right at home. They offered me booze! And there’s a ton of fun stuff to look at while you wait.
Natalie was AWESOME. I was going for a really drastic change (About 12″ off my hair) and she looked at the photos I brought, pulled up some others on her phone that she thought I might like, and really took time to discuss my wants and needs with me. She was so friendly and did a fantastic job with my hair. At the end she even showed me a bunch of different easy ways to style it, and actually talked me through it so I can try and replicate it on my own instead of chalking it up as too difficult to figure out. She gave me exactly what I wanted and I love it.
Like I said, I’m usually a DIY girl when it comes to hair, or a spur of the moment walk-​in at a low end salon. I usually find salons overpriced and overwhelming. But I will absolutely be back to Bad Kittie. Cute shop, great staff, really reasonably priced, and an amazing haircut. Thanks Natalie!

Mitzi was awesome! It was my first time at the salon and she was very helpful deciding how to transition my long hair to a pixie cut without overwhelming me! I absolutely love my new cut and have been getting nonstop compliments :)

Mitzi did a fabulous job! She was very nice and really listens to what kind of cut I wanted. She is easy to talk to and time passes by fast. She also gave me tips on how to style my hair, even the ‘shortcuts’ since I’m very lazy with my hair. Plus I love how healthy my hair feels after my haircut. Can’t stop running my fingers through them! I paid $ 50 plus tips and it was well worth every cent :)
I think it’s a great salon to be a regular!

I love this salon! Lindsey is AMAZING!!!
I moved to Denver earlier this year, and I was nervous about finding a good salon. I found my place! My hair was super dried out from the change in climate, and Lindsey helped me get it back to perfection for my upcoming wedding! I love her haircuts and blowouts!
The salon is edgy and the prices are good. I am far from being an edgy person, but I love the atmosphere and the gals that work here. Did I mention that I LOVE IT?! I can’t wait to try more services in the near future, and honestly, if I could afford a blowout once a week, I would totally get one. So worth the money!

Yes! I have finally found someone who understands my crazy bipolar hair. Mitzi did an amazing job cutting and styling get my hair. My hair is curly, but the bottom layer is straight… I know. Ridiculous! Anyway, Mitzi knew exactly what to do and how to cut it in a way that it will behave. I’m seriously impressed.
Not only is she a great stylist, she’s a great person to talk to. Lively and outgoing. I will definitely be going back!

Let me start with this was my first hair appointment ever. I don’t like other people touching my hair so I walked in with really high expectations. I did ALOT of research before I settled on The Bad Kittie. My appointment was with Natalie Eickert. I was a blonde for my whole life and needed a change. I asked for Little Mermaid red. That’s exactly what I got! Bright, beautiful red! She cut my hair and cleaned it up so nice. I asked her for some pointers on doing Pin Up styles and she did a couple on me and walked me through everything. I walked out of the salon feeling more beautiful than I have in a really long time. Everyone there was really nice and complimented me non-​stop as I was leaving. I am very happy with the entire experience! Natalie did an amazing job and I am most definitely going back!!!

I had an amazing visit with Natalie at The Bad Kittie Salon, she was very friendly and easy to talk to. I brought in a picture of the style that I liked and together, we made a few changes on the color and the style. In the end, it was the most amazing haircut I’ve ever had! She gave me exactly what I wanted with a little extra flair! I would definitely recommend this cute salon and will definitely be making Natalie, my go to girl for all of my hair care needs!

I’ve been going to the Bad Kittie Salon for about as long as I’ve lived here in Colorado, and I can’t imagine going anywhere else. Not only are they fabulously kitschy (and have awesome local crafts, vintage items, and art for sale) but they’re staff is just as talented as they are genuine and wonderful people. I see Kari (she always does a kick ass job) and I had my husband see her for a cut and dye for our wedding/​cocktail party. I also had three other ladies come for pin up dos and one other color. They did an exemplary job, to say the least. The pictures speak for themselves. They couldn’t have been sweeter about accommodating our large party and you can always tell how much they care about their clients. I couldn’t be happier with the service we received. Bad Kittie is HIGHLY recommended! And hey, they’re totally affordable!

This place was AWESOME! I read the reviews about people searching and searching for a salon in Denver and stopping once they came here so I thought I would check it out. It was so worth my time. You can have beer or wine, they have plenty of things for you to buy like rings or earrings, and it was the cutest little salon!
I had JC and he was super personable and did a great job! I am very trusting of cosmetologist because I never know what I want and he managed to take my jumbled explanation and turn it into exactly what I wanted! I’m definitely going back :)

After 2 years of searching for a hairstylist in Denver that wasn’t either providing mediocre service, exorbitant prices, or both, I still had nowhere to turn when I decided I was ready for a dramatic change. I was terrified of asking for an edgy versatile short hairstyle and coming away with a chop job that would take weeks or months to fix elsewhere. After combing reviews and asking for recommendations I decided to take a chance and go to a new salon, and just hope for the best.
Enter Lora at Bad Kitty, who took what was a less-​than-​ideal situation for both of us (when I showed up a very nervous brand new client asking for 12+ inches of hair chopped off) and gave me exactly what I wanted. At $ 65 for the cut, it was neither the least nor most expensive service I’ve had in Denver, but was most definitely worth the money, which is a major selling point for me.
The shop and its stylists are a bit quirky, but my first experience was still very thoughtful and professional. Lora was patient enough to listen to and talk through what I wanted out of my new ‘do, and took the time to make sure the cut was right before I left. Time will tell if my long search for the perfect stylist is over, but I know I will definitely be back to give Lora and Bad Kittie another shot.
