Salon Beyond

I am so low-​maintenance that it’s a little sad, but my best friend got married last week and hired Salon Beyond to do our hair and makeup, and I actually really enjoyed getting all dolled up! They came to us so I haven’t seen the salon itself, but they were so professional. There were four bridesmaids, and three of them, so they got right to work. We each got airbrushed before receiving a full face of makeup, and our hair was curled and styled into a pretty updo. It was sweltering, and my makeup didn’t run through my sweat or the inevitable wedding tears, and the updo stayed in place the whole day. I made it home that night looking like I had just left the salon, and that’s hard to say.
Sarah in particular was just wonderful. My allergies were going haywire (that’s what happens when you have a wedding out in the country) and she was so patient with me, reapplying my eyelashes when the glue came undone. And while I was busy with getting gorgeous, she actually steamed my dress. She went so above and beyond and I can’t say enough good things about her.
There is only one negative for me, but it isn’t so big that I wanted to deduct a star. The guy who did my hair was not gentle at all. He styled my hair like he was mad at me. My hair looked awesome, but really. It was the only point of the day that I didn’t totally enjoy.

Can’t say enough good things about this place. I’ve been going to Taylor for my haircuts for around 3 Years now, and will follow her to whatever salon she goes to! The salon is staffed by the friendliest folks… and they even have complementary beverages! What’s better than having a cold beer on a hot day while you get your hair cut? Even as a 45 year old man, they make me feel welcome and comfortable in here, and they’re just a pleasure to be around.

Very friendly staff. Expensive. Was impressed with how my hair turned out, I even raved about it on reviews and friends that same day, but I got excited too soon and should of waited, considering it faded in just three days and looked terrible and super fried out. I was told it would take more toning to achieve the desired effect but didn’t think what I already had would quickly vanish and look like I didn’t even spend a dime to manage it. And to «tone it up» (basically fix it) would cost a few more visits of $ 50 a pop — not including tip — was upset at this because it meant I that I just spent butt loads of money for nice hair for only three days. I was going for gray-​blue hair but could not afford this. The initial cost was steep but was told it was the going price. Needed my hair perfect for a trip I was going on but it never lasted long enough when I left on my trip — a week after I had my hair done. Ended up doing Sally Beauty at $ 10 for toning and it came out much better then my $ 250 salon visit (and I was charged that with a pixie cut, I fear what it would of been if I had super long hair) and lasted three months. I am very disappointed I wasted all that money. I feel bad as the hair dresser was very nice but I am not pleased with the end result. I’ve had my hair done by other hair dressers, though I had my problems here and there, never have I had my hair fade in this short amount of time. I’ve had rainbow hair once that lasted six months! I’m so sad.

I love Sarah! I have been going to her for probably a year now. She makes my blond locks glow! She always takes time to ask if I want to make a change at the beginning of each appointment. She has even gotten to know me well enough to take the extra time to extend my appointments because we always seem to take quite a while with the trim and color. I love that she is thorough. She is also a great conversationalist, but doesn’t try to push it if you just need to relax. To me, this is important if you are sitting in the chair for 2 hours. You can always have a glass of wine while you get pampered which also makes the conversation flow.
I recently also got to experience Chloe’s expertise in make artistry for my wedding day. I LOVED my make up! I cried and was a little bit of a emotional wreck and still looked my best. Sarah also did my hair for the day. Again, I really appreciated her attention to detail and willingness to change and adjust the styling as I wanted.
All her other stylist seem very personable and friendly, so I think you might luck out with anyone here.

I have been going to Salon Beyond off and on for a few years and regularly for the last year or so. It has changed ownership once since I’ve been going and I have been really happy with what Sarah has done with the salon. The prices are really reasonable, the space is cute, they host fun events/​parties. Everyone is friendly and a lot of fun. There is a great energy as well as a trendy, creative, professional staff who obviously enjoy working together.
Shannon is my regular stylist and he’s amazing! I get so many complements after my appointments and have given his name out a lot. Sarah cuts my kids’ hair for less than the local barber shops! She always makes them look extra adorable and is really great with them. I really can’t say enough good things about Salon Beyond. You should definitely check it out.

I followed my hairstylist, Jillian, from another salon, because she is a spectacular colorist. She has some special trick for applying color that looks multidimensional and totally natural. I would follow her anywhere, but I’m so glad that she settled here.
I’ve been to plenty of salons (and even worked at a salon…), so I feel like I can make some fairly reasonable observations as far as they are concerned. There are plenty of places where the attitudes fly high or that are so busy you feel like you are entering a war-​zone every time you drop in. Not so here. The few stylists here have every appearance of really getting along well with one another. Not any weird competitiveness as far as I can tell, and even when it is busy, the atmosphere stays upbeat. Their new receptionist is a complete doll too. She keeps the salon in great shape (I know how hard that can be when salons are taken over by bridal parties.), besides making sure all the clients are offered drinks and are entertained while they wait. Can’t beat that service, let me tell you! And even though this a small space, situated in an old building on 39^th Street, the have big open windows that let in lots of bright natural light.
Love, Love, love! Fan for life!
Oh, and it’s an Aveda salon. Thumbs up for no animal testing!

I booked an appointment at Salon Beyond because it was an Aveda salon but I was so disappointed. I paid about $ 170 (with tip) for a half low light and cut. I asked the stylist to cut three inches but she only cut about a half an inch. The cut was ok, but I could have gotten something comparable at a much better price point. At every other Aveda salon I’ve visited they offer flavored water, hand and scalp massages. Not here. Also, it’s been about three weeks and my color is so dull it almost looks like I didn’t have it done. My color from the Aveda salon I visited in Colorado eight months ago has more pigment and definition. I really hope Aveda drops this salon and I won’t ever be back.
