Greenroom Salon

My husband and I were in from out of town and we were both joking that we may have to start flying to Kansas to get our hair done! Great job! Thanks!

I, like most people, am very sensitive about my hair. I have very thick, coarse hair… and lots of it. After several bad experiences in Lawrence and Kansas City, I decided to give Greenroom a shot. I set up an appointment with the first available stylist, which happened to be Megan. Seriously, this girl just understands how my hair works, and somehow knows exactly how to cut it. She’s also super sweet and personable. I’ve gotten my hair cut twice by her now, and after each time people can’t get over how great it looks. If I ever leave Lawrence I may have to take her with me! She’s that good!

Alexandra was great! Personable, efficient, but most importantly, she turned my curly haired mess into a wavy work of art.

Meh. 3 stars for trying and good customer service. I’ve come to the conclusion Kansas doesn’t really have good hair stylist nor can they cut bangs lol. My actual cut was uneven. My bangs.:should have stuck to cutting them myself which I ended up having to do to fix them and I think I did a better job… I refrained from getting a haircut for almost a year because of these problems with various other salons around Kansas. Greenroom had awesome reviews so I figured I’d give them a shot. But disappointed to have spent $ 32 for a mediocre cut. But props for a nice and clean salon.

Joelle is the best! I went to Images salon for years until my stylist moved away. I tried various salons around town and all could be described as, «meh». Then I met Joelle at Greenroom. She is skillful and gives good advice on all my styling and hair cut needs. I’ve been going to her for over a year now and she is the only person I trust to cut and color my hair. She cuts my husband’s hair now too and he has never looked better! I wonder if she does cat haircuts… anyway… just call her right meow!

My search for my soulmate hairstylist has ended! Alex at the Greenroom Salon is the only person I will let touch my hair. She has been styling, coloring and cutting my hair for over a year now and there is no turning back.
I have curly/​wavy, very thick, frizzy hair and Alex uses the best product that tames and makes it feel so soft, smooth and healthy. In addition to having crazy hair, I like to change my color pretty often. I am always getting compliments on how the color goes with my skin tone, whether it is dark brown, auburn or more blonde in the summer.
You can tell the difference between someone who is just doing their job and someone who is passionate and truly loves what they do. She is an amazing artist with a great personality to match.

I’ve been going to Alex at Green Room for over a year. I love it! I have hair that is very difficult to style. It’s extremely curly and frizzy. On top of that, I’m almost completely gray. Alex introduced me to Keratin treatments, and they are life changing. My hair is no longer frizzy, and I can blow dry it in a fraction of the time. I’ve also received tons of compliments on my hair color. Alex is a natural at knowing what colors compliment skin tone, eye color, etc. I loved my old stylist and was nervous about changing (needed to find someone closer). I’m so glad I made the switch to Alex and the Green Room. I’ve never looked back!

Greenroom is a good salon. The atmosphere is cool and they have a nice music choice. The experience was a good one and the stylist I saw, Alex, was very friendly and easy to relate to.
My hair is thin and curly, but with loose curls and doesn’t usually form ringlets. I am very happy with the trim that she did. The length is now even and she barley cut much off to even it out. The reason that I am only giving three stars is because I was not happy with the way the rest of the cut turned out. I told her that I wanted layers and she said she would only cut long layers, though I was looking to get shorter ones. When I asked for more layers after she showed me my hair she said that I was getting risky and shouldn’t add anymore. I noticed that they were only layers on one side and asked about it, but she assured that they were just sitting in the back. It turns out that there are only layers on one side of my part. It looks awkward and uneven. Plus, there really wasn’t much to the layering.
I enjoyed my experience at the greenroom salon, but I am not satisfied with my haircut.

I hadn’t had my hair cut for about 9 months until I went into the Green Room. Alex was great. She really made me feel comfortable in getting my hair cut (I have an irrational fear of having it cut). She used some amazing products on my hair that made me feel like a million bucks. I even bought some of the products that she used on me! I love it. I love my new hair cut and my new products! Thank you! I will be going back!

I’ve seen Steven twice now and had a great experience both times. Before coming to the Greenroom, I got a haircut that I really didn’t like. Steven has done a great job fixing it. He’s very thorough and precise, and really takes his time with both the cut and color. The prices are very reasonable and the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. Glad I took the other Unilocalers’ advice and gave this salon a try!

I’m visiting Lawrence, my beloved hometown, after several years of living in California.
Having had fantastic cuts and horrible cuts all up and down the coast, I can firmly say that Stephen gave me one of the best experiences I’ve had in a long time. He’s thoughtful, makes great suggestions, and is extremely thorough. Plus Greenroom is an extremely affordable salon. The décor is modern without having that pretentious air that many salons have. This will definitely be my go-​to spot whenever I’m lucky enough to spend time in Lawrence.

I have long, thick, coarse hair that is not easily tamed. As a result of many bad haircuts, I’ve gotten in the habit of waiting months between trips to the salon.
I’ve tried several salons during my time in Lawrence and Greenroom has FAR surpassed all of them. I called to make my first appointment after waiting over a year since my last cut and they recommended Megan, saying she’s particularly good with long hair like mine.
Megan took the time to talk over what I was looking for and made me feel like I’d known her for years as soon as she was shampooing my hair. While their salon has plenty of products for sale, she explained which ones she was using but didn’t push me to purchase anything like some salons too often do.
I came in with inches upon inches of dead split ends on my hair and left with a bouncy, perfectly layered masterpiece that I was actually *gasp* HAPPY with! I’m very picky about my hair so this was huge for me. I returned for a second haircut by Megan a couple months ago and was again extremely satisfied with the results. Finally a stylist who actually understands my hair!

I had stumble upon this place based on the product they sell and that was the Oribe line. When I went in there I wanted the dry texture spray, but had questions about other things in the line. No one really knew much about anything in the line, but had told me «if you don’t like it bring it back». With really dry hair they lead me to the Kerastase line and again I was given the same «if you don’t like it bring it back». Well I didn’t like that particular conditioner from Kerastase and I did bring it back.
I did schedule an appointment for a Brazilian Blowout which did nothing for my hair, if anything made it worse. I did bring this to their attention and they had me get more of the Kerastase stating «if you don’t like it you can always bring it back». This time I had bought shampoo and some of the styling products from the Kerastase line. Being a product junkie I had bought about $ 200 worth of product.
Many of the products I bought were travel size so I could also try out some their different products to see what would work. Since I have had hair issues over the last year I have been trying to find something that would work. I did bring 2 items back and did repurchase many more.
Today I went in to purchase the full size shampoo that was working and did return a travel size. The store owner met me at the counter and told me I could no longer return anything. I later counted I had a total of 6 returns, 4 travel sizes/​2 full sizes and I had spent almost $ 1000 from Dec to April (this is based on my punch card they give you) All of these were only used a couple times so it wasn’t like I used them up and got my money back. I returned based on their recommendation. Also one time that I caught had them over charge me on the return and not give me enough back. I didn’t catch this till I was half way home. (live 30 mile away) They also charge more for their product than the website states it should be.

I cannot express in words well enough how great this place is.
They are so kind to you and the whole atmosphere is very welcoming.
I had a hair NIGHTMARE at another salon. Steven spent 5+ hours working on my hair to get it back to the right color. He was so soothing and an absolute pleasure to work with.
They also provide free consultations and will return your phone calls to answer any questions you may have.
I cannot wait for my next appointment!

I have been looking for a good stylist here in Lawrence for the past few years. I thought I would look to Unilocal for advice and I’m glad I did. I called today to make an appointment for a haircut and was able to get in with Mercedes. She was FABULOUS! She asked me questions, listened to me, and was such a delight. Her work was very good and she is very knowledgeable about the products they use there. The rest of the staff I had contact with were friendly and helpful. I am definitely glad I gave it a shot and already made an appointment with Mercedes for my next visit for highlights. The price was great too. The salon was clean and inviting. You can’t go wrong here!

I just had my first appointment with Megan and I couldn’t be happier with both the cut and color. She spent a LONG time asking questions, looking at my hair, finding out about my hair’s quirks, etc. Then she actually did a little «review» of her plan before starting to make sure we were on the same page. The whole experience felt very professional and enjoyable. In the end, I have a great cut and great color, everyone at work was super complimentary this morning. The salon is also super clean.

Also — price was very reasonable and they have seem to have set prices for everything. Is it rock bottom, no, but for the end results it seems very reasonable.

One thing, not a plus or minus, just something to know. I am a person who wants to get in, get out, and get on with my life — this place is perfect for that. I know some people love to spend hours in the salon and don’t mind the relaxed pace, so if you are looking for an extended vacation in the salon, this might not be your place. This is a salon with set times for various processes and they don’t mess around. Again, I love the professionalism. I’ve had stylists who mess around on the phone, do their nails, talk to the other people in the salon, etc. Some people might like to spend hours hanging out in the salon –I don’t.
In the end — I would HIGHLY recommend. Megan was great, I also saw lots of great hair on other clients as well, so I think you would do well with anyone there.

I had an appointment with the great hairdresser, Stephen. I actually asked around KU for a Salon and someone highly recommended him at the Greenroom Salon. He was very meticulous, well spoken, and professional. I had very long, dark brown, thick hair with ombré color which I didn’t like. So he added Bayalage highlights and blended it to the rest of my hair in a beautiful, rich, reddish brown. I wasn’t sent out in the cold with damp hair, he actually blow dried it and straightened it, making it silky and shiny. Love it! One last thing, he knew a lot about my hair type and knew what hair products were good for it, which I agreed with (argan oil) and recommended one for me. This will be my regular salon from now on :)

Okay. I am very, very fussy about my hair. It’s fine, wavy, and looks a lot worse than most with a so-​so cut… which is what I got at Greenroom. Stephen was nice and he listened really attentively to my descriptions of my last cut which was FABULOUS (at another salon out of country), but he wasn’t able to pull off the same effect. The hair is barely layered, doesn’t sit right, and looks really meh. He also seemed to struggle with the cut, dropping my hair and comb/​scissors a couple times.
I also found there to be an air of exclusion at the salon. The stylist and client next to me seemed to have an inside joke with my stylist, which, while it was all very well for them, made me feel a little uncomfortable. No one wants to feel like they’re paying to crash a hip friend reunion.
I also asked about what products I should use for my new, long do (I’ve always had short hair). I didn’t get a single recommendation. There was a lot of «this smells good» or «I like to play with this» but there didn’t seem to be any real knowledge or experience behind the «recommendations».
All in all, not horrible, but I’m not going back. Sorry Greenroom, I really wanted to like you!
Edit: after I posted this, Stephen contacted me and was very kind and apologetic about my experience, offering to redo my cut. I declined, but I’m impressed by his professionalism, so I’ve upped my rating. Even though my personal experience may not have been ideal, true professionalism is hard to find and Greenroom has definitely raised in my estimation because of that. Thanks Stephen.

LOVE LOVE.
Miss Teri cuts my hair and has for years! We have done funky styles, conservative styles, and every color except blonde. I have short hair and have yet to walk out their door completely satisfied. I also had extensions done there a couple years ago and loved them. I wouldn’t go anywhere else in this town for a cut or color!
I have seen Suzi, Stephen, and Teri and have been super satisfied and entertained during my services. I refer everybody who asks about my hair to the salon and have many friends who go there exclusively.
I love their free bang and neck trims and how the cancellation list actually works! The products they carry can cost a pretty penny, but if you ask your stylist for suggestions you’ll find a new favorite.
Can’t wait for my next appointment!

I needed a very particular haircut, and I went to Greenroom based on Unilocal’s recommendation. Stephen was my stylist, and he knew his stuff. He was patient, meticulous, focused, and friendly.
The entire salon has a very hip, busy feel. All of the other stylists were chatting with their customers, and everyone seemed happy, knowledgable and engaged.
Go check this place out. It’s a terrific little salon in a terrific spot on Mass. I find it tough to believe that you’ll get better bang for your buck elsewhere in Larryville.
