Paris Parker Salon & Spa

I do not trust a lot of people when it comes to my hair and I was terrified when I wanted to start doing some really bright colors because I wanted to make sure it was done right. Kayla has colored my hair blue twice now and it is absolutely perfect! I have gotten so many compliments on how good of a job she did and how well it is blended with my natural color (I just have the underneath dyed) Kayla has done wonders with my hair and I will continue to use her for all my coloring needs, absolutely the best with her work and an all around lovely lady that I enjoy talking with while getting my color on :)

One word: RYAN.
The backstory: Naturally dark brunette, now a highlighted platinum blonde. I have formerly thick, beautiful, long hair that was botched by an extremely unqualified stylist at a salon in the Lower Garden District. I now have extreme breakage, dryness, and damage that I believed so beyond repair that I was about a day away from pulling a Britney and shaving my whole head. Ryan saved me from having that meltdown.
He is an incredibly talented hairdresser with great vision and experience. I trust him implicitly and believe that anyone with good taste (and who is crazy about their hair) should. He explained to me exactly WHY he believed we should take off the length that we should and he spent the time to make decisions based on my particular situation, style, and preferences. I have the most beautiful cut now that hides a majority of the damage, and we now have a plan on how to proceed. He is now the only person I will see in New Orleans.
As for the salon– great location, clean, relaxing atmosphere. As a bonus: the Aveda products used in house are great, and they have an extensive retail selection.

Kevin Starr is a genius with hair. I enjoy changing up the color of my hair pretty frequently, so I’ve seen Kevin a lot over the past two years. Most recently, I took my (very dark) reddish hair to a light, ashy blonde. It looks phenomenal and I have gotten so many compliments on it.
I cannot recommend anyone else in the city. Kevin is as good as it gets.

I visited Amy today, and she had me in and out in record time. Very attentive to detail and a good conversationalist. The shop itself is quite cozy and welcoming; and the staff makes you feel at home. Couple all that with AVEDA products and training, and it’s a win-​win. Looking forward to my next appointment!

As soon as you walk in you’re greeted and asked if you want a hot or cold beverage. I’ve been seeing Rachel there for a few years now. I first went in about 3 years ago with long hair and she gave me the cutest bob for summer. She’s a perfectionist and takes her time to make sure every hair is in place!

I had Regan and she was amazing. It is always a struggle when I am looking for a new stylist and she was great. Paris Parker prices based on stylist experience and you shouldn’t be afraid of going with a new artist. They totally know what they are doing. I really appreciated that she still took her time styling my hair even though it ran into her next appointment (my hair takes forever to dry). I loved my cut, everyone else loved my cut. I would definitely recommend her and the salon. I might be getting my hair colored there next.
P. S. they do always wash your hair before they cut it. I like this the best, so don’t bother washing or fixing your hair before going in.

David Jinx is the man! He’s been cutting my hair for the last two years and he does a phenomenal job. Beyond his talent with the shears, Dave keeps me laughing when we bond over dating stories and crazy times in this wild city.
I like to keep my color bright and blond, so I leave it to Leslie to take me back to my roots (my version of a blond joke). Leslie is like that girlfriend you go to for no-​bullshit advice. She’s fun and full of great stories.
The salon is clean and smells wonderful because, duh, it’s Aveda. I use their shampoos and conditioners, but I’m not a huge fan of the styling products.

Went there today to go from blonde to red. When I arrived, they were receiving a shipment of new furniture in, but the staff were super apologetic about the mess and offered me some delicious tea (which I ended up buying a thing of so I could brew it at home). Soon the movers were gone and my fabulous colorist, Kevin Starr, was working his magic. Can I just say, his name totally goes with the five Starr service, pun intended, I received. I just moved here not that long ago from Dallas and have been looking for over 5 months now for my new go-​to hair place. So happy I found it: D I’ll definitely be back!

I got my hair done by Kayla Chiasson this past Sunday and she did an amazing job. She did 3 different highlights on my roots that looked amazing together, and toned the rest of my hair that I screwed up from bleaching myself. She got me the exact look I wanted!!! She took her time and explained every thing she was doing. She’s very sweet and knows her stuff! I definitely recommend you to get your hair done at this salon by Kayla! The salon atmosphere itself is very relaxing just to be in.

This salon ROCKS!!! I’ve been shopping around for a hair stylist since my previous salon closed, and I’ve found it! I have to look professional due to the nature of my studies, and desired career choices; yet I still like a fun and punky twist to my style! KAYLA did the trick! She turned my mop of a tangled, thick mess into a beautiful creation! I went from black to red… and WOW let me tell ya, Kayla knows her craft! She is extremely personable, professional, and makes a client feel at home in her chair.
I had Amy, an up and coming stylist cut my hair, and she did a fantastic job! I went from an uneven grow out, to a stylish and wearable hair cut! This is definitely a salon I would return to for future services!

Got my hair colored and styled by Kayla! She is awesome! I was scared but I tried a new color for the first time and it came out great! She curled my hair after and the curls came out so luscious and big I looked amazing! If you want awesome hair go see her!!!

Kayla saved my hair for my wedding! She fixed my highlights and color. She did a fantastic job as usual! Now that I moved to New York, I have to wait until my visits back to NOLA for hair color and amazing highlights!

If you’re getting your hair colored you want to see Kayla! She does the best work, and she is super creative too if you ever feel like a change. I have been seeing her for over three years and even followed her from her old location on Prytania. She will do right by you! Also this location is very nice and everyone is super friendly. Highly recommend!

It took me 2 years to find someone who could tame my super thick, blonde mane. LESLIE is the lion whisperer. I’ve been a blonde-​a-​holic for 15 years, and when I first moved to NOLA from the north, I knew I was in for quite the «search». 4 salons and 7 stylists later, I found Leslie at Paris Parker — right down the street from me the whole time…
Leslie came highly recommended from a friend (a few friends actually) — a friend who noticed I needed some hair help. Leslie had a vision for fixing my do, and she did just that! 5 months later, I’m ever so thankful for her vision. I recommend Leslie to anyone. She is simply the best!

Ask for Kayla! She is warm and creative, and knows her stuff. She went out of her way to make sure my color was exactly what I wanted. Definitely recommend!

I highly recommend this salon. Kayla has been doing my color since I moved here over 2 years ago and I actually followed her from Prytania to Magazine because she is the best!!! She’s a fantastic colorist and gives great, honest opinions that I trust completely. I’ve gone from brown to blonde in her hands and I am always being complimented on my color!

I got my hair highlighted this weekend by Kayla, and she did a great job. She is very meticulous which I think is important with hair. I went from a dark brown to a light brown with blonde highlights, and I’m thrilled with the results. She did a great job of interpreting my explanation and bringing it to life.

This location is clean, parking is pretty easy to find (I think they have an available valet now), and you can book online. I’ve booked online and never had a problem-​appointments were confirmed several times via email.
I saw Rachel Kelly the first time and she did the most beautiful work on my horrible split ends. I have thick hair and I am definitely an air dry, low maintenance person. After my cut with Rachel my hair laid beautifully-​always angling the right way with no work on my part. I was in town and had decided to treat myself to an Aveda salon on a whim, but I was so impressed that when I booked my next trip to New Orleans, I wrote down on my calendar to schedule an appointment with Rachel in the month before I left!
And another beautiful haircut. I have a round face and the thick hair can make me look a bit… mushroom-​headed, lol. She got my hair looking sleeker, the ends are beautiful again, and once again, perfectly happy with 0 maintenance.
My lack of ability in haircut-​terminology does no justice to how good she is. And at the studio rate, this has to be one of the most incredible deals in NO. Tip her well because this is a $ 60 haircut, no joke.

I went here one day after work to grab some products for my boyfriend, who has recently become a product diva.
He is finicky about his hair and I had no idea what to get him, just knew the problems he was trying to address. Well let me tell you the two ladies working here were unbelievably helpful! I usually don’t enjoy the help of salespeople. I always feel like they are trying to push products/​clothes/​etc. on me that I don’t really want.
These girls really knew their products. They gave me samples of 3 shampoos that were exactly what I came in for. My bf really likes the stuff!
I had to pay nothing! They gave me all of the sampes for free and I even got two cards for free treatments.
I went in expecting to spend some cash and came out with freebies to try.
I’m planning to go back in to get full size products and also get my hair done.
I’ll keep you posted!

I have super curly hair so I made my appointment with Stacie because she comes highly recomened on many of the curly hair websites. I give her 5 stars– she totally gets how to cut and care for curls and she has curly hair herself so you can tell alot of her advice comes from experience. She expalined all the products she was using and told me
Which ones were more every day vs a splurge she also talked with me about what i wanted from my haircut and then actually gave me a style that flatters
My curly hair!
The salon itself is 3.5 stars. Initally I booked my appointment through their online system and when I logged back in to double check my appt. It had disapeared. I then had to call and make an appoimtment, the woman I spoke to called me back
