Robert Jenson Salon

One of my (girl) friends got this amazing haircut by Tana I mean crazy good. I already get my haircut in the city and I’m loyal to my stylist, but I thought it might be a good place and person for my boyfriend to see.
(Cue the Price is Right losing horns). Tana is as nice as can be, super personable. If you’re a girl, it’s fine. But my boyfriends hair looked like he got in a fight with a lawnmower. And lost. It’s not the only place to go if you’re a guy.
The website looked awesome, the prices were high– everything leading you to expect a cool cut. About the best thing I can say about his haircut was that it eventually grew out.

I got my hair done by Katherine, who was amazing! I screwed up my appointment time and missed my first appointment but she was so gracious in rescheduling me. When I did get my color done, it was absolutely fabulous. I really like for my highlights very fine to look more natural and I got exactly what I was looking for, as well as many compliments from friends afterwards. I couldn’t have asked for better and I will absolutely be returning!

I’ve been getting my hair done by Michael for over a year now and have been extremely happy with it. He pays great attention to detail and is a delight to talk to. A few months ago I decided to try a Keratin treatment with Robert. My hair is the type that frizzes with the littlest bit if moisture in the air. It usually takes about 45 minutes to dry and straighten. But, after the treatment, my hair was so smooth and soft, I couldn’t believe it. The best part was it took 10 minutes to blow dry and no straightener needed. It’s been a few months now and I’m still happy with my hair. It’s crazy what a difference it has made and the compliments I’ve been getting are a bonus. If you’re thinking about getting a keratin treatment, see Robert at the Robert Jenson Salon, it is well worth it! If you’re looking for a great stylist, Michael is your guy!

Kathleen is the best! Known her for over 12 years and always does a great job. Color and cut she is a perfectionist. Never leaves you feeling like she didn’t take her time, my friends, little sis, and mother go to her too. Does a great job on young and older. She is up to date color and cuts and I always leave feeling great.

Sherri Denton has been doing my hair for 11 years, I love her, she is amazing, She is very professional and has a great since of humor. She listen to what you want. and does a wonderful job. I have always felt beautiful after she has done her magic on me… She is the best ever… I love her and will go to her as long as she lets me… :o)
Thank you Sherri…

If Natalie Garret were still at Robert Jenson’s I’d give them 4 stars. I followed Natalie through 3 salons over the last 15 years because that woman can do haircolor like Alice Waters of Chez Panisse can do food. The woman was a true Master but alas she has gone off to the Carolinas and I just can’t follow her that far. I’ve tried two of the stylists there for cuts. and had exactly the same results with both so far. The first one was Alan and the first time he cut my hairhe did a fabulous job. I couldn’t ask for better. The next time, he was asleep at the wheel, third time, I complained about the second time so it was better, fourth time down hill so I switched to Tana. Tana’s first cut was a dream. Best haircut I’d had in years. Second cut was like she was a different person and didn’t remember how to cut hair. What a let down. So, I’m going in for possibly my last visit to try out Natalie’s replacement Dina for color and I’m giving Tana the opportunity to get her third strike or a base hit to save me as a client. I drive quite a ways to go to Robert Jenson’s with a couple dozen notable salon’s much closer to my home. The only reason I was faithful was Natalie and now with her gone, we’ll have to see if there is the strength in the bench to keep me coming back for another season.
The Salon has a great atmosphere, all the staff are friendly but one other thing I really like about Robert Jenson’s is their consignment jewelry collection. They’ve broght in some talented designers who are showing some unique pieces at affordable prices. I’ve never had to wait more than a couple of minutes at my appointment time but there’s always plenty of time afterward to do a little shopping for some nice trinkets. So thank you Robert Jenson Salon

I have had my hair cut by Michael for over a year, and just had a Keraluxe straightening procedure done by Robert Jensen. This is similar to the Brazilian Blowout, but with no formaldehyde, and it wears off as well as grows out, which means there is no section of curly hair next to the scalp making it difficult to style.
Robert is the only one at the salon who is trained to use the Keraluxe system.
The reason I had the straightening process done along with a significant reduction in length (15+ inches gone!) is because I am growing out my natural hair color after 30+ years of dying it, and wanted to get as much of the old color taken off as possible.
The application of the Kerlaluxe treatment was done in such a way that the color transition became an ombré effect, losing the abrupt change in color. It’s so pretty, and I love it. My mother likes it as well! Also, everywhere I go strangers come up to me and ask where I got my hair done. I’m in my mid 50’s, and being stopped about my appearance has just not happened in years. The combined cut and treatment have made my hair that beautiful, and it’s all due to Michael and Robert.
After the Keraluxe treatment, clients go home with special shampoo and conditioner that supports the treated hair. An unexpected benefit is that I no longer have the eczema on my scalp and face that I’ve suffered from since high school. It vanished after just 1 week, and I’ve been able to stop using steroid creams and coal tar shampoo to control it. Comparing labels, it looks like the Keraluxe products are missing those ingredients that contain sulfate and sodium in the terms. Whatever it is, my face and scalp are healthy and my hair is soft, manageable and easy to style. It takes almost no time to dry it compared to before, and a few swipes with an iron to turn under the ends and I’m done. It has simplified my morning routine immensely.

Walking into Robert Jenson’s intimidating, because it was all new to me.
Marica, my stylist put me at ease instantly. What was even better, after briefly listening to my request, she did an excellent job. Her work is skillful and creative,.She has the ability to instill trust., enabling any client to be comfortable.
This is my Oscar winner!

Finally!
I was so glad that a friend recommended Robert Jenson Salon. I have had a lifetime of mistrust for hairdressers and have always resorted to cutting my own hair most of the time. Every time I would let my guard down and go to a new place, I was always deeply disappointed.
I was tired of my hair not looking as good as it could and made my appoitnment with Oliver. He is absolutely delightful. I have never had a man cut my hair, but I am glad I gave it a shot. He really knows what he is doing and spent time to really understand what I wanted to do. He worked with my existing bad cut and turned it into the best cut I ever had. He didn’t rush through the cut and made sure to go through his work a few times to make it as perfect as possible. Despite the prices being a little high, I left feeling that it was money well spent. I can’t wait to go back and have Oliver do my color. Everyone at the salon was very friendly. The salon was very clean. I would definitely recommend over and over.

Kathleen is amazing! I moved out of the area years ago, but I try to book her whenever I come into town. For years this meant flying in from LA, but now I moved to the East Coast and I STILL consider her my hair stylist. Sometimes when I have to go to other people I’ve had other hair stylists compliment me on my highlights and ask me where I got them done.

One word… Oliver. He is amazing and knows how to make you look amazing ! Everyone asked me what I was getting up to after I got my hair done… that’s how awesome it looked.
Oliver is soo friendly but doesn’t talk your ear off which I personally hate about a lot of hair stylists I’ve had in the past. He knows his stuff and knows how to take care of his clients… always so nice to ask if I need anything to eat or drink and he does an amazing job on foils, balayage highlights and does terrific cuts !
Seriously, check him out :)

I’ve been going to Natalie for years and she’s great. She does great highlights and has a great attitude — very down-​to-​earth and such a sweetheart. I HIGHLY recommend her!

I love going to this salon, nice atmosphere, and friendly staff.
I’ve been searching for a good hair sylist for a long time. Thanks to Groupon, I found the one, my stylist «OLIVER», who is super friendly, fun and always knows how to make be look beautiful!
Definitely will be back!

Very nice atmosphere, super attentive staff, higher end w/​o being pretentious. Saw Tana for my first visit (via Groupon introduction) who gave me a cleaned up cut and style. Was a tad worried how it’d look after the straightened blow dry wore off and the curls came back… but I actually like it better w/​the messy curls. Thank you! I’ll be back… Jina :)

I tried the Robert Jenson Salon for the first time today because of the combination of Groupon deal and rave reviews on Unilocal.I had a haircut done by Tana, the proprietor of the Salon.
First off, the salon is very nicely decorated and everyone was very friendly. I liked the large mug of tea that was given to me while I waited. Tana is very nice. She is friendly and very pleasant to have a conversation with.
The reason for the three stars? My haircut. It just wasn’t very good. I told Tana exactly what I wanted — an asymmetric bob. She gave me one, but it just wasn’t good. Looking at it while in the salon, I couldn’t really tell because she styled the bob with the ends curling in so everything looked even. However, I thought the styling looked a bit ‘mature’ for my taste (more on that later), so when I got home, I took out my flat-​iron and straightened out the ends to give it a more ‘youthful’ look. That’s when I discovered how uneven and poorly cut it was.
I have a ton of hair so in order for it to have a little bounce, she layered it all the way around. The problem was she did a bad job layering so instead of seeing a gradual build-​up of hair (like a tight stairway), it just looked like I had two layers of hair. One on top and one below and the layer below was about an inch longer than the layer above so the overall effect was just sloppy. On top of that, the lower ‘level’ wasn’t even cut evenly. I thought it looked so bad that I took a pair of scissors to it myself.
It is really unfortunate that I got such a bad cut because the salon is really nice and the people were all very friendly. For that, I give them an extra star. For the cut, I would have given them two star. It would have been one star if I actually paid full price ($ 100!!), but I had a Groupon.
Lastly, it might be because I was there on a weekday morning, but I was the only client that wasn’t on Social Security. I am in my mid-​thirties but I actually felt young there. I wondered whether they are so use to having older clientele that they are incapable of giving a younger, more hip haircut.

Robert and Michael are two great colorist/​stylist. I am a stylist and although I do not work with them, I think they do amazing, consistant, flattering hair. They have a strong cutting/​color foundation that many stylist never take the time to perfect. I only wish they taught classes!

Natasha Brittle the esthetician is HIGHLY trained and continues to learn the most progressive treatments for her customers. I know she is now also specializing in state of the art acne treatment. I go for facials and waxing. I just love her and feel my skin has never looked better at 43.

Alan Williams is the best hairdresser in the world! I’m so happy to have been a client of his for over 7 years, the last 2 at Robert Jensen Salon. I constantly receive complements on both the cut and color of my hair, from both friends and strangers. Alan comes up with great ideas that I love to try out. He is constantly learning new techniques and is versatile in both men’s and women’s hair. I plan to go to Alan for a very long time to come!

Kelly Lucini has been doing my hair since i was a baby. she does great color and great cuts. she makes my highlights look natural– not chunky and tacky like other colorist. her hair cuts are up to date and i always have the cutest hair out of all my friends. she has a welcoming personality and always makes the experience great. i highly reccomend her for all you cut and color needs. :) her prices arent as high as others.
robert jensons is a great salon. i love every person there.

I have been going here from the age it was cool to crawl around on the floor. As I got older I started getting cuts here, but only special occasions, for it is a bit pricey for a 10 year olds trim.
This company originally started in San Francisco and ironically moved into Lafayette closer to my family where all the ladies would go to get their hair done. After years of knowing everyone here, it is now a place for my grandmothers entertainment. I think it is a therapy session for her. She goes bi-​weekly.
Coming home from College was a treat to get my haircut and I always loved seeing the crew. The Salon is a little pricey for me now that Daddy doesn’t pay for my pampered cuts and mani/​pedis, but they always treat me so well. It makes up for the empty wallet.
Someday I’ll be a regular again… My next big paycheck!
