The Parlour

Super happy with my experience. Immediately offered a beverage upon entering and that beverage was wine and if you know me… So much yes. I had called like an hour earlier and the receptionist was super helpful and awesome. I did a deep conditioning treatment with Emma who is so nice and cute. I had accidentally (on purpose) put body wash in my hair in lieu of conditioner (don’t judge me! You don’t know my life) and I had a hot date that evening and couldn’t walk into dinner looking like 90s grunge master Kurt Corbain (I’m a girl) but Emma spiffed me up and now my hair feels like angel hair and baby breath. Silky smooth!
Hair washed with clarifying shampoo (twice. Because of the prior mentioned incident on my part… Cough cough), moisturizing and volumizing treatment, blow dried, curled = $ 47 + glass of wine. I’m cool with it! Will be back!

I had a fabulous experience at The Parlour Highlands today! I have been frustrated with my hair for awhile and have tried different salons and stylists, but haven’t found a cut that works with my hair and is flattering for my face shape. I read the glowing reviews of this salon and called and talked to Lisa who kindly and patiently listened to me explain my hair frustration and that I have strong, thick hair with cowlicks and am over 50, but don’t want too look frumpy. She thought Courtney would be a good stylist for me and she was right! Courtney happened to have a cancellation today and had time to cut and highlight/​color my hair. Lucky me! Courtney was amazing and I am so happy with my cut and color — she nailed it! She spent a great deal of time with me listening to my hair saga and what I thought wasn’t working and showed me pictures of what she thought would work for my hair and face shape. In addition, she asked me questions to help her learn more about what I wanted and honestly told me that certain styles would not work well with my hair or would be more maintenance than what I said I wanted. In addition to being a great stylist, Courtney was so sweet and easy to talk to and she made me comfortable from the moment I walked in. Others have mentioned the good vibe in this salon and I totally agree — everyone I had contact with was very nice and several complimented my color and new do which made me feel great and showed how they support each others work and care about making a great experience for ALL customers. I have never written a review before, but wanted to share my great experience with the amazing Courtney and The Parlour.

JILL IS THE BEST!!! I’d highly recommend her and The Parlour. Great hair cut and great conversation at a good price.

I really like the company, but looove my stylist there, JILL!!! Her color suggestions are great, and she really understood what I wanted different with my cut. I haven’t liked my hair this much in years and she is a sweetheart to boot!

Love this place! Highly recommend Sarah B. I have short, pixie hair and she’s the best in town for pixies. Such a good atmosphere, free drinks with hair cuts, free clean-​ups in between. Really reasonably priced for such good cuts

The Parlour is near my home and I went today for the first time. I like being able to walk to and from. Sara did a great job. My hair looks fabulous. Both the cut and color are perfect. Very comfortable place at a good price.

I really can’t say enough great things about the Parlour’s Highlands location. I’ve had Phil do my hair for the past 16 years (started at the LoDo shop — before the Highlands location was even open!), and I recommend him to everyone. I have long, stick-​straight hair, and over the years he’s always done a great job no matter what weird idea I have for my hair (about 12 years ago, I wanted black and red streaks in it like Christina Aguilera had — we still remember that request ‘fondly’). He also does a terrific job on my husband’s naturally-​curly shorter hair. Everyone who works at the Parlour in the Highlands is very nice and professional, and the décor and furnishings are vintage, modern, and gorgeous. I can always find (FREE!!) parking on a nearby street, and not having to deal with a meter is a huge plus in my book.
Check it out — you won’t be disappointed!

In all my life, i had never paid for a haircut that was completely satisfying. So I decided to stop paying for them and I purchased a Flowbee online. I have been cutting my own hair for about 10 years but recently I got a haircut by Anna– thus decided I will NEVER go back to the suck-​N-​cut. Anna cuts my hair aws! Give her a try

I have been going to the Parlour for almost a decade, but I just joined Unilocal so I feel compelled to review them: they are amazing! Libby has been my go-​to hair guru for years and she never disappoints! Recently I’ve been seeing Courtney since Libby is out on leave and she is also fantastic. The entire staff is friendly and welcoming, the décor is mid century fabulous, and it’s obvious that this salon is a drama-​free zone. Go there now!

Sara C. is not only a great hair stylist and COLOR EXTRAORDINAIRE, she’s also just an all around sweet person. I loved my time at The Parlour in the Highlands, I will be keeping Sara as my go-​to for anything hair from now on.
And so will my boyfriend ;) We love her!

Sarah always takes care of me. I absolutely trust her with anything she wants to do to my hair. she is always in a great mood and I literally won’t let anybody else cut or color my hair. I have high matinence blond hair and she always gets my color right. give this girl a raise.
I have to add, I have been coming here for a few years now and I still love the awesome vibe in the salon. the stylists help each other out — Sarah asked if someone could rinse my hair since we went slightly over time and one of her co workers, last chair on her side of the salon, washed my hair. Phil also is real nice and I am always treated with respect by the women at the front desk.

Sarah B has been cutting my hair for 4+ years, I’ll never venture elsewhere as long as she’s around, it’s a plus she’s at such an awesome location. A quality hair cut in a warm environment in a great location is hard to come by and that is exactly what you get at the Parlour Highlands. Every time I get cut I pair it with lunch at one of the several lunch spots located nearby. Being welcomed with water, a glass of wine or a beer goes above and beyond any other place I’ve been in the past.
Ive recommended multiple friends to Sarah B and everyone both male & female are still clients of hers. Ask for her, she will take good care of you!

Christina Trostel is an updo genius! I was recommended to her by Love This Day Events, since I live in LA but planned our wedding in CO. I am very particular about my hair and makeup, so I was beyond thrilled to find Christina who was patient, listened and had amazing style! My biggest fear in having an updo for my wedding was the dated «Prom» look that I saw in a lot of pictures during my research. She took my natural curls and made me look like the elegant yet stylish bride that I wanted to be.
Christina also listened to my wishes of doing a smokey eye for my makeup, along with the idea of making me look natural and not like I was wearing layers of foundation. She and her talented assistant made myself, the mothers, grandma and two bridesmaids look so chic and beautiful that we all felt gorgeous!
One of the best things about Christina’s work is that my hair and makeup lasted throughout the night. I danced the night away without a strand falling out of place. My Bridesmaid’s hair was so beautiful, timeless yet modern too. It even rained for most of the day and night!
Another item to note: she totally worked with me not wanting to start getting ready in the early am for an evening wedding. We were able to start at a decent time in the afternoon so we all felt fresh for the wedding.
I cannot say enough great things about our hair and makeup team!

The wrong hair can ruin your life…
Okay, I am being a bit drastic, but seriously, your hair is really important.
I found Sara at the Parlour in the Highlands about a year ago, and my hair has never been so well taken care of.
Sara is an amazing stylist, who listens and cares, she really puts people at ease. She will take her time to do the best job possible. I have the best experiences in a chair in my life from sweet Sara. The rest of the staff at the Parlour is also so kind and attentive.
I always feel at ease and pampered when I leave… truly Sara and The rest of the Parlour staff are bar none.

I have been going to The Parlour Highlands for just over a year after trying a few different places around town that I was never crazy about or felt like they really cared. It takes a lot for me to find someone I trust with my hair and actually enjoy hanging out with for a couple hours while doing it. So much so that I didn’t color and rarely cut my hair for a few years unless I could see my girl in FL from where I moved during a visit. Not convenient but she was a gem and I never had to tell her what I needed or wanted — I just trusted her decisions with the color and scissors. So you can see why it has been so hard to find someone I like and trust to that degree again. But, the time came where I really really needed to find a local gem to take great care of my hair… and I found him!
Chad has been cutting and highlighting my hair via recommendation from a friend and I absolutely love him. He has been the best with a cut that is conducive to my lifestyle and age, yet still easy to take care of. If there is something I have in mind that he does not think will fit my face/​skin tone/​etc., he will be honest and tell me, which I think some stylists find hard to do. He is incredibly personable, which makes the time in the chair like hanging out with a buddy. I struggled with writing a review and calling him out… because then he may be even harder to see! But, he deserves it. I hope you get in to see him :-)

I’ve never had the best luck finding a stylist that could color my hair just right, so I was a little hesitant (I have asian hair and wanted a lighter caramel/​gold color highlight) getting my hair highlighted again. I went off the Unilocal reviews and I’m so glad I went to Heidi! She understood exactly what I wanted. The color she gave me was exactly what I was going for — the best highlight I’ve ever had! I will definitely come back again. I highly recommend! She was very friendly and easy to talk to as well :) The only downside: The front desk girls could be a little more personable/​warm.

I moved back to Colorado Springs after four years from being away and I was nervous to have a stranger cut my hair. I noticed an old acquaintance was cutting hair at The Parlour Highlands, looked her up on Unilocal and decided it was worth the drive to Denver to get a cut. Thank God I gave it a try because my haircut from Sarah at The Parlour was the best haircut I’ve ever had. She was fun and helpful in figuring out if I wanted to change up my style but she also listened and was sure not to cut off too much. She’s young and stylish and I HIGHLY recommend her.
The salon in general is great. The staff was friendly, the entire shop was clean and everyone seemed to be leaving happy. I’m picky with where I get my hair done and although I’m sure there are plenty of great places in Colorado Springs, I think it’s worth the drive to Denver to have Sarah cut my hair again.

I’ve been a long time client of The Parlour — I’ve gone to the Boulder location, the downtown location and now, the Highlands. I’ve been with Heidi since I moved back to Colorado five years ago. I have the most stubborn grey hair ever, so it’s always been a pain for colorists. I’ve had five great years getting pampered by Heidi and the other employees at this location.
Only downside? I need to make my appointments more in advance — Heidi is in high demand!

Well, she did it again! Another FABULOUS haircut, by the amazing Courtney! :) I have never consistently gone to one stylist EVER, until I found Courtney. I moved to Denver from Portland, Oregon about 2 years ago, and I’ve been going to Courtney for about a year and a half now and she never fails to make me feel absolutely amazing when I leave the salon.
Courtney is so welcoming and easy to talk to and she always has your best interest at heart. She never pressures you to do anything you don’t want to, yet will offer suggestions as she goes. She has truly mastered the art of making sure that you leave with a smile on your face, and a fabulous haircut/​color that you’ll feel confident showing off.
I HIGHLY recommend The Parlour for it’s shabby chic environment, and awesome staff. Everyone is so welcoming from the moment you walk in the door. I honestly look forward to my visits every 6 – 7 weeks, and you can’t beat a few glasses of wine/​beer while you chit-​chat and get pampered :)
For anyone looking for a new stylist, go to the Parlour. You’ll be glad you did :)

It was time.
My hair was getting ridiculous. It had been months since my last haircut. I wanted to grow my hair out, but I made the mistake of thinking that I could grow my hair out without ever getting a haircut. Big mistake.
So, my wife suggested the Parlour. Specifically, she referred me to her stylist, Chad.
It started out on a high note and didn’t go down from there. When I arrived, I was greeted by the bubbly receptionist, who quickly asked me what I wanted to drink. «What are my options?» I asked. Something something something «beer.» Specifically, Great Divide DPA or Colette. Getting to sip on a Colette while getting my hair cut? Perfect.
After only a few minutes, Chad came out to meet me and took me to his station, my Colette still in hand. Chad built in a few extra minutes into my appointment so we had time to go over what I wanted. He discussed with me what I wanted, and how he would accomplish that.
Fast forward. The time flew by. Chad is definitely one of the least awkward stylists I have had to deal with. Easy to talk to, discusses with me each step of the cut. The final result was one of the best haircuts I have had. And to boot, The Parlour does free «touchups» so I can grow out my hair in confidence.
The cherry on top? $ 10 discount for my wife referring me to Chad. When you go, say Jarrod M. from Unilocal sent you, maybe you can get the same thing.
