This was the worst experience I have ever had a salon. My stylist had a terrible attitude, she was extremely rough with my hair, my hair is not the color I wanted AT ALL, I got charged almost double the amount I was expecting to pay and it took 2 hours longer than expected. I don’t know if I’ll be returning here.
Danielle is an all-star and a fantastic stylist. She listened to my needs and completely transformed my hair. A welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff. Two weeks later and I'm STILL receiving compliments and repeat compliments from the same people! I'm very happy I chose Alter'd Culture.
Had a very great experience, walked in looking a mess (hadn’t had a color or cut since before having my baby) just left over grown out color, spoke with my stylist about what I wanted, she was very honest about what we could do to my hair and what would be the healthiest option for me, very personalized to fit all…
A wonderful work in progress! Love the do. Colorific! Love Danielle!
Danielle is one of the best stylists I know. She trains her staff to understand the chemistry behind the products they use. Kylie did my most recent highlights and did a wonderful job!!! I’ll definitely see them again!
It was my second time getting my hair cut and colored here. It was a great experience and it looks good.
Abba is so wonderful to work with! I always feel welcomed coming to the salon.
Erika does an amazing job every time. She takes time to consult and the execution is incredible.
kyleigh was an absolute sweetheart! she made my hair look and feel SO nice! I look forward to returning to her!! 🥰
Amazing!! Service was great! My hair turned out beautiful! Thank you Danielle (and the pretty girl who helped color and wash my hair not sure what her name was sorry) you guys were great!! Thanks again!!
Kyleigh is THE best and everyone there was so sweet! it’s a bit pricey but SO worth it when you see the results!!!
kyleigh was very patient with me & she is super nice and will go into details with what to expect before appt
I booked a curly cut, color and style with Ms.Christina and she did an amazing job at giving me exactly what I asked for!! 10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND!!!
Abba is the best there is! She’s always very attentive when discussing what my hair goals are and executes fabulously! All of the stylists in the salon are very friendly, love the environment! 10/10 experience.
I’ve been going Erika for several months now and she’s done a great job with my hair. Highly recommend her 💖
Lauren was AMAZING! My hair was a mess! I had had several bad experiences and it showed! I have red, naturally curly hair and Lauren is the first stylist to know what to do to get me back to my natural red! She also was able to fix a bad cut. I walked out of there living my best life with my head held high! Never going anywhere else!! Michelle
Love Danielle Is a rockstar goddess! Her staff so friendly and nice and well trained and organized. Love my hair! Such a treat. The atmosphere and music also top notch.
Always does a good job and makes sure my hair is well taken care of
Lauren is a great listener and did exactly what needed to be done! I was very pleased with the color and cut! She consulted with other staff members who were extremely knowledgeable all gave great service.
Love Rayne. She is great at what she does. The salon is amazing too. It has a great atmosphere.
Cannot express enough how amazing Abba is. Literally could not stop smiling after I left the salon. I had not had my hair done in a very long time and after seeing Abba, I gained every bit of confidence back. I absolutely love my new hair!
Sarah does an excellent job every time styling my hair!! I fully recommend booking an appointment with her!
As always, Abba did an amazing job. Her head massages at the shampoo bowl are second to none! My Final Cut and color turned out amazing, even though I went in there with no plan and no idea what I wanted. We talked through some options and I left after a full service looking and feeling like a million dollars.
Sarah did an amazing job and listened to what I was wanting to achieve with cut and color. It was a nice experience and can’t wait to go back. Thank you!
Such a relaxing experience! Pretty sure I almost fell asleep multiple times. Sarah was so nice and took her time to understand what I was looking for. Made return appointment when I left!
I'm new to the Louisville area I moved here recently from PA. I think the most anxiety I had was the fact that I had to find a new hairdresser but my first time there that was all relieved quickly. It definitely will be my go-to now. Thank you for such a great experience.
I cannot recommend Christina enough! She is not just a stylist but a true artist. Her attention to detail and expertise in both color and style are unmatched. She took the time to understand exactly what my girls wanted and executed it flawlessly. The color came out absolutely perfect- vibrant, dimensional, and…
Christina did great, worked hard to get my hair where it needed to be
I always have a great experience here with Jazzmyne. Great service, conversation, and the staff is so friendly. 10 out of 10 recommend. The location is good too.
Lauren rescued me and my hair! she was very patient and listened to all of my requests. I went in looking like a mess and left with exactly what I hoped for!
Have come here many times and they do a fantastic job. I would recommend getting one of the more senoired stylists, I've had great success with Erika, Rayne, or Danielle if you want a real pro. Sometimes their scheduling is a little limited but is is always worth it. They also keep your colors on file so no need to…
Jazzmyne was awesome & gave me exactly what I asked for. All the other hairdressers/people working there were super friendly and the place has good vibes 10/10 recommend!
I told abba I wanted to switch things up and she nailed it with a new color and completely changed my hair for the better. It enhanced my skin tone and made me look so refreshed! And she cut my 2.5 year olds hair and he loved her!
Very informative Consultation on Hair Extensions with Danielle. She explained in detail the process, what her expectations would be, what she would use and why. Danielle then asked what my expectations were and then explained how we could get there. I left feeling very excited on moving forward with the Process.
Rayne is absolutely amazing! She knocks it out of the park every single time and is always so kind and friendly and is always making sure you love your hair and ensuring it is what you want. The salon is also always beautiful and nice inside. I recommend this salon, and specifically Rayne to everyone always because she's really truly that good.
Excellent one had several cuts, colors and Brazilian blowouts and for weeks I receive compliments.the staff is pleasant but not intrusive, which I like. Ericka is extremely talented
Outstanding experience. Very talented colorist/stylist. I love my hair! Thank you, Rayne!!!
Hailey was excellent
Rayne is absolutely amazing. My hair always looks and feels amazing after an appointment with her!
Abba and Christina were absolutely amazing! They transformed the madness that was my hair into a masterpiece. On top of that, it was refreshing to see them working together seamlessly. Great atmosphere!
I had a great time at the salon, my visit was anffordable, and I LOVE my hair!!! I seriously couldn’t have imagined my hair to look better. Jazzmyne did a perfect job!
Sarah was phenomenal! Extremely happy with my hair, made this older girl look and feel a little bit younger.
Alter’d Culture is top-notch. This salon is all about the client. Danielle and associates are informative, did an astounding job cutting, highlighting and styling. My hair has never looked better. I look forward to my salon visits and feel very welcome in this salon.
Danielle came in on her day off to spend 6 hours giving me the blonde that I really wanted but wasn’t achieving. She gave me beautiful extensions and the perfect blonde! She is a master at her craft and I’m elated to be her new client for life. She’s confident and experienced and her ambition for learning as much as…
Danielle is amazing! She really cared about making me happy. I was very pleased! Great cut and highlights! She cared for the integrity of my hair as well. She took time explaining to me before hand in detail about which process would be best for my hair now and for near future goals. Her and her team worked in…
This was hands down the best service I've ever received! Everyone was so kind and welcoming❤️ special shoutout to Rayne she did a great job, I left feeling so confident!!
Wonderful experience, had great conversations with my stylist and she did an incredible job at covering my grays for a root touch up, as well as a cut and blow out! Loved it
Sarah always does such an amazing job on my hair. Everyone in the salon is very friendly and welcoming, highly recommend!
Abba was very attentive and listened to my concerns and ideas and gave good advice on how to change up my look.
Jazzmyne did a great job with my hair coloring and cut. She made me feel comfortable during the whole process and I love my new look!
I love Haley so much!!! We did a very complicated color correction and she killed it. My hair looks and feels amazing, and my curls have lasted me 3 days :)
Rayne always leaves me feeling fabulous! My hair always looks fantastic when I leave. She always out does my expectations.
Beautiful color! So gorgeous!!!
Jasmine was awesome and will be returning to her👏🏻 thank you 🫶🏼
After a horrible experience with another Hair Salon in the St. Matthew’s area mall, it was such a privilege to set my lady up with a hair appointment the very next day. I informed them of the debacle that took place and the young lady who took my deposit set my bride up with Jasmine. My wife went in today and man…
Haley was absolutely wonderful she was so sweet and I didn't really know what I wanted but she talked me through it and always took a little at a time off to make sure I was comfortable with it. All the ladies were so sweet and I'm obsessed with my hair!!! 💕
I cannot explain how picky of a hair person I am. I have to have the right color, dimension, the right cut the right style, etc. and I found all of these things at this salon! I have been to a plethora of salons (all over the country) of which I’ve paid a pretty penny.. however, my hair has never turned out as good…
Erika is the best hairstylist I have ever used. I highly recommend her!
Sarah did a great job! She did a color correct on 2 years of professional dark red to blonde. I left with a better lift than expected and way less damage. I’m looking forward to round 2!
I had the best experience here for my first time, all the staff was so friendly and welcoming.. I had Haley and she did so awesome. I’m so inlove with my hair and can’t wait to go back for my next hair appt.
This is the best color job I have ever had in my life! Cut is amazing too. Jazzmyne was very nice and professional. She listened to what I wanted and executed it perfectly. Can’t wait for my next appointment!
While my stylist and the employees were nice I had a horrific experience here and cannot recommend this place. Curly hair beware. I feel as though my hair was done by a student in their first week of cosmetology school. For context, I have dyed my hair red for 13 years and have never had such a terrible experience.…
I’ve only been going to this salon for 6 months but I’ve been SO happy with the results each time. Rayne is my girl and she is always incredibly transparent with prices (I’ve never experienced that at other salons!) so I know what I’m going to be spending at each visit. I’d trust her to do whatever she wants to do…
I cannot say enough about how amazing this salon is. Both of my parents were hairdressers and no one has ever touched my hair besides them. The day came where I needed to find someone. I am so grateful that I found Danielle. She had big shoes to fill , and she certainly did! No one will ever touch my hair but her.…
The salon is beautiful and everyone here is so welcoming. I also love that while there is street parking available, there is also plenty of guest parking in the lot around the back! The products used smelled heavenly and I will definitely be purchasing some soon. Another huge plus for me is the shampoo bowls were…
Kendall does such a great job with my hair and eyebrows…. So happy I found her!!! As a bonus, she is super fun to talk to!!!
I had my first appointment with Danielle a couple weeks ago and I am so happy with the results! I feel like a lot of salons are kind of pretentious, but that’s not the case here. The vibe is good and from what I witnessed the people that work there are all kind and seem to love what they do. Looking forward to my next appointment!
I started going to Alter'd Culture in July 2022 when I had finally gotten tired of my curly hair being damaged by at-home box dye jobs. I made an appointment with Erika and I was not disappointed! She listened to everything that I wanted and I've been going back to see her ever since! She has allowed me to live out…
Kendall has been doing my hair for about a year now and she is the ultimate hair fairy! As I've been growing my hair out, she's been great at coaching me with best practices and teaching me how to style and care for it well. Kendall always does the best job whether I'm coming in for a cut, color or brown wax.…
If you're looking for a hair salon in Louisville, this is the one! My go-to hairstylist is Rayne; she's super friendly and makes my hair look amazing every time. She's taken my hair from red to purple, to purple/pink, to blue, etc., and always keeps the health of my hair in mind. I always know I'm in good hands when…
Rayne is absolutely amazing. She truly understands your goals and helps you find the best way to be your happiest self and is the best person to take you there. She has given me everything and more with my hair goals and I could not be more in love with the care and attention she pays to her clients. She makes me…
Rayne has been AMAZING and I seriously do not trust anyone else with my hair now. She’s brought my vision to life every time and my hair is so healthy thanks to her. Everyone at the salon is so welcoming and it’s just an overall great vibe. 10/10 for customer service!
The ladies at this salon are literally the nicest people ever. Kendall is an absolute angel and did an amazing job on my hair!
Kendall has been cutting my hair for the last six months. I always leave feeling refreshed & ready for the world.
Kendall is literally amazing!! I always walk out loving my hair and can’t wait to come back!! She is always so attentive and detail oriented with my hair. I’m so happy I found someone I can trust with my hair and never be disappointment with. We have great conversations and a fun time!! I would recommend Kendall to…
I have gone to Alter'd Culture several times to get my hair cut and get vivid colors. Erika and the rest of the staff are so talented, I am always in love with my new hair by the time I leave. I will definitely be coming back and recommend this salon to everyone!
Erika is an amazing and creative stylist!
I absolutely LOVE Kendall Hill!!! She did fantastic on my hair and did just as I asked. She did my boyfriends hair as well, and it was incredible. Would give her 10 stars if I could!
This group of wonderful ladies are by far the best stylist around. They always make me feel welcomed. Kendall has cut and colored my hair several times over this past year and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a change. My hair is overwhelming to many stylist. It is long, thick, and wavy and many get lost…
Erika was great and so nice! I moved here recently so it’s always nerve wracking to have a new hair stylist but she was lovely and I am very happy with my cut and highlights!
