Took my 14 year old daughter here for her first haircut in an actual salon! She has always gotten her hair cut by her grandmother who is a barber. She was excited to have the full salon experience. I chose to take her to this place, it looked cool online and I love that part of town so it seemed like a good choice.…
Kyliegh is such a calming presence for an anxious and shy girlie like me. She makes me comfortable, which is something I haven’t found at other salons. She’s informative, patient, and my hair looks great every time I leave. Thanks so much!
Today was a great experience! I got a relaxing shampoo and a fabulous cut & style from ABBA. Definitely staying as a client!
Maggie was amazing!! I just moved to Louisville and was nervous about going to a new salon. Everyone was super friendly and Maggie was great. The best haircut and style I’ve ever had!
My daughter had her very long hair cut off and it was absolutely perform done!!
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.
From the moment I walked in the door and was greeted by Gwyn to the haircut, shampoo, blowout, and other services Kyleigh provided me, it was, as always a wonderful experience. Thanks! Kyleigh is so good - I always feel great when I leave.
Stylist was on time listened and helped me ease into a style. Liked the studio too. Although it’s a bit difficult to find, it’s worth the hunt!
Everyone was very nice. And even though I didnt know exactly what I wanted, they knew exactly what I needed. Very pleased with the end result!!
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.
Thank you for an amazing curly cut, Kyleigh!
I’ve been twice to get my curly hair cut by Abba and she has given me the best hair cut both times! Exactly what I described and I couldn’t recommend her enough!!!
This was my first visit here and Erika really listened to what I wanted and executed it well. She was friendly but not overly talkative and it was super helpful that I could make an appointment after work. Front desk was friendly as well.
I love my haircut so much!!! It feels softer and fuller. It looks and feels amazing and I’m beyond happy with the result that Lauren has done!
ABBA was great in knowing what I wanted and what would be good for my hair length. Very professional
Erika is super nice and made me feel like she actually cares about my hair and how I feel.
Other than waiting 45 minutes when I got first there , Maggie did great on my hair ! She was super genuine and sweet I will be back !!
I am so happy with my hair! This was my first time coming in, and I booked an appointment with Danielle because of her expertise. I have very fine hair that needed a great cut. She listened to my concerns and made thoughtful recommendations. Her colleague Maggie showed me a helpful blow dry technique. They also had…
Great experience. Stylist was wonderful and spent time really listening to my wants and concerns. She even showed me how to style my curls!!! The most beautiful I have seen them in a long time. 😍 This is now my forever go to salon. Recommend it to everyone.
I haven’t been to a hair salon in several years, and was in serious need of a chop and new style. Kyleigh is so sweet and talented, and I LOVE my cut! Will definitely be sticking with this salon from now on.
Abba gave me the exact haircut and style I needed! The blowout she gave me lasted me the rest of the day. She was so kind - made me feel the most beautiful and confident I have been in months. Can’t wait to return.
Came in after losing most of my hair and Danielle did a wonderful consultation. I can only recommend the hair repairing treatment. It is 100% worth it. You will see the difference instantly. Danielle also made a wonderful HAIR plan with me for new hair growth to thrive while providing me with the ideal cut to face…
Fantastic first experience! Will be back for my next haircut!
They always do a great job with my hair, the prices are great and they are always welcoming and friendly. I highly recommend this place to everyone.
First dry curly cut my daughter has gotten after waiting about 6 years since the last real cut due to being traumatized. Y’all did amazing with her hair! Thank you so much! We’ll definitely be back 🫶🏻
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!
Comfortable atmosphere, really friendly and knowledgeable staff. Loved the result and plan to go back.
I was very nervous about going to a new stylist but Kyleigh made me so comfortable and she was the sweetest. She listened to how I wanted my hair she offered us beverages and the music was great. It was just a great atmosphere all around.
Very great! They gave me what I wanted and were so nice and accommodating!!!
I appreciate that this salon is inclusive of multicultural clients, doing all textures. They have tools that get hot enough and products that compliment various types of hair. The owner is very big in continuing education. I've seen her on multiple occasions coaching the stylists on technique and products. The salon…
Been coming here for quite a while now and I’ve never had a bad experience. Highly recommend especially for those with insanely curly hair
Gwen was great and the vibe in the salon was just what my son and I needed to get our haircuts after a while 😊
Abba is so wonderful to work with! I always feel welcomed coming to the salon.
I had great Experience with Gwyneth she gave me Something to drink before she did my hair she's cut and style it.
Love this place great service no waiting and always professional
Danielle cut my long, straight hair so that the layers are blended and ends refreshed. She is clearly very knowledgeable about the intricacies of hair design and I appreciated the way she described different options as they apply to my specific hair type. Once we agreed on how to proceed, she confidently did the cut…
Kyleigh did an amazing job with my hair! I asked for it mainly to be thinned out and shortened a little bit, and not only did she deliver, but she also talked to me about what and why she was doing what she was every step of the way, including helping me learn how to take care of my hair better! I was a little late…
I gave my stylist a tall order, and she did as close as she was able with my existing extreme undercut! Erika was quiet and calming and gives a KILLER scalp massage. She really took her time to talk through what I wanted vs what was possible. My hair feels so healthy and light. And she got me together with the right…
Amazing place great stylists and I have never been so satisfied with a hair cut
The girls are so welcoming! I was a walk in and they treated me like they knew me forever!!
Christina gave me a silk press, trim, and style. She was very sweet and took her time to listen to exactly what I wanted. 10/10 definitely recommend.
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!!
Danielle did a PHENOMENAL job cutting and styling my hair!!!! If I could, I would give her 100 ⭐'s. I came into her salon for the first time hoping she could do damage control from a hideous haircut I regrettably had elsewhere earlier in the week. I gave Danielle full liberty to do whatever she could to cut my hair,…
Haley did an amazing job in my daughter’s hair! Thank you Haley!
The staff were so friendly and welcoming. My stylist had great ideas and was so kind to me. I left with beautiful hair and was full of confidence.
Maggie did a great job with my hair. I will definitely be going back.
Loved my haircut and style! The stylist was amazing and very patient with me! Loved their products as well!
I needed a last minute appointment and wanted a place close by. I'm SO glad I booked with Lauren at Alter'd Culture. Lauren is amazing, fun, and professional!! She cut and styled my hair based on some inspo videos, and she nailed it. My hair already is visibly healthier, and I just couldn't wait to write this review. I'll definitely be back!
Such a good environment and a fun vibe
Lauren was amazing and I will definitely be coming back! 🥰
Kyleigh is THE best and everyone there was so sweet! it’s a bit pricey but SO worth it when you see the results!!!
Best salon in town!
So happy I found this salon! It’s beautiful and clean and has a cozy, chill vibe. I’d definitely recommend the fusio treatment haircut package; my hair is SO soft and voluminous now!! Abba gave an amazing scalp massage and is a very talented stylist. She did a thorough consultation, listened well and checked in…
Kyleigh was very nice and explained to me exactly what she was going to do when cutting my hair to give it some added volume. My hair looks great, and volume 🤩
It was absolutely amazing!! Abba did my hair and it’s never looked better!
LOOOVE!! Only good things to say!! Christina is SOO talented!! The atmosphere, the skilled professionals, THE SCALP MASSAGE!! They just get it right every time. SOOO HAPPY I FOUND THIS PLACE! I’ve done balayage, melts, tones, smoothing and shine treatments. Looking forward to my next appointment!
Lauren is absolutely amazing she really helped me figure out the style that worked best for me and my day to day routine.
Super friendly environment. With people who know what they’re doing and walk you through each step. As a mixed girl with textured Afro hair it was hard to find a salon that understood me and my hair. And I finally found a salon that suits me and my hair best.
Amazing every time !! Christina is the best !!
My first time , and was amazing ! Great customer service , comfortable atmosphere, overall a nice place !
It was an amazing experience! Erica took care of my hair and gave me what I asked for, actually a lot better. She cut it exactly the way I wanted it and it looked gorgeous at the end. She's really kind and really hears you out to give you the best results!
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.
Abba did such an amazing job on my haircut. She did exactly what I asked for and executed what I envisioned as far as layers and thinning out my ends so that my hair didn’t feel so thick and overwhelming. I will definitely be booking appointments with her in the future! 💕
Its awesome i like it also the ambiance is very good.
I had my first appointment here with Erika on 2/9 and I am very happy with it. She knew exactly what to do with my hair, as I'm growing out an undercut and she definitely will be my go-to person for my hair from now on. The salon is very nice, comfortable, fantastic atmosphere. The prices are extremely reasonable…
10/10 , reasonable prices for high quality results. So happy I gave them a chance. Erika was my stylist , she cut , styled , and did a bang trim perfectly for me. Abba was my stylist previously and did just as wonderfully.
So inlove with my hair. I told her what I want and she did it perfectly. I had an amazing experienced. Thank you Gwyneth! My hair has never been this good.
I got a haircut by Abba. She did a phenomenal job at giving me layers and cutting my curly hair. Not only did she cut my hair dry before the wash, but she cut it once she was finished blow drying And styling it to make sure it was perfect. As someone who struggles finding someone to cut my hair correctly, Abba did a…
Not familiar with Louisville salons, so after looking on google this one looked good and I’m glad I trusted it! I got a cut and style with Erika and she was so nice and professional and did an amazing job! I would definitely recommend. They have a cool vibe and awesome music.
Erika did a great job! She was very thorough and made sure I was happy with my cut! I’m very happy to find this place with just moving to Louisville
Attention to detail, the knowledge, and team work was above and beyond my already high expectations. Great job Alter’d Culture.
Beautiful results!
Abba did an amazing job!! She is very professional but has a great personality as well. I have gone to see her three times now with my tricky hair to cut, and she nailed it. I highly recommend booking with Abba.
I can't say enough good things about this salon and about Sarah. Moving to a new city, one of the most stressful things is finding someone new you trust to do your hair. I went several places, each of them highly recommended, before ending up here. Sarah is so patient. She looks at pictures and talks with me to…
I am SO happy with my cut from Sarah today! She really took the time to ask questions about my hair, what I wanted, and just who I am in general. She was super attentive and skilled with my wavy, thick hair. Thank you Sarah!!
absolutely love my curtain bangs and layers done by erika, and everyone was so sweet!!
Sarah is very sweet and did an excellent job. She was ready to answer any of my questions and didn’t make me feel rushed at all. 5 stars 🌟
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.
Wonderful experience- will definitely be back!
Always does a good job and makes sure my hair is well taken care of
My daughter and I were in Louisville for a few days and had some down time, so we decided to find a place to get our hair cut and styled. We found Altr’d Culture, and it was the best! Hailey was my stylist, and Lauren was my daughter’s stylist. They were both very helpful, kind, personable and professional. I wish I…
Absolutely loved the hair cut and service and will recommend this salon. Thank you Gabi for being so sweet and patient. She did hair cut in such a passionate way, just the way i wanted. Appreciate again. 😁
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.
10/10 Best customer service and relaxing environment. Amazing haircut and style.
Excellent job. Fixed a bad haircut. Efficiently and for a good price.
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 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 great experience every time. Scheduling is a breeze and we are always so pleased with the service we receive. Both of my daughters have had great experiences here. Thank you!
Erika and Rayne are my forever stylists!! Took me 39 yrs! Both women will give u top notch treatment, and give u the style or service u want!!
I always have a great experience here! I’ve seen Haley and Christina so far, and they’re both wonderful! I love how easy it is to sign up for an appointment online (even if it’s the night before). Great prices too!
Very good with cutting curly hair.
Jazmine is wonderful, professional, and warm… She understands what her client is looking for and is confident about turning an idea in reality. I look forward to working with her in the future.
Always prompt and on time and does a great job on my hair and gives me great product recommendations:))
Understands what you want. Her recommendations and input are excellent.
Jazzmyne was great. She gave me the exact cut I wanted. Highly recommend!
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 had an appointment with Erika for a cut and style and also added a deep moisturizing treatment. Erika was very welcoming and cut my hair exactly the way I envisioned it. The treatment was amazing and definitely improved my hair along with Erika’s soothing massage. I left with curls I never even knew I had thanks to Erika. I will 100% be going back!
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…
had a great experience with haley!
Rayne was fantastic. She was patient during the consultation, really listening to what I wanted and giving her own ideas of how best to get there while being sure not to dismiss mine. She took extensive notes and pictures to make sure that we both remember what we’re doing for next time. I felt very taken care of.
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.
Out of all my salon experiences, this was by far the best! I can’t wait to be back :)
Wonderful, professional, down to earth salon with great folks! Thank you Rayne for everything you did for me! Finally found my new salon and artist! My hair looks great!
Abba was amazing! She listened to what I wanted and made sure I was comfortable throughout the process. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend Abba!
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…
Erica was wonderful. I talked to her about a style that would flatter my face. She did a marvelous job. Already Booked my next appointment.
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!
This is by far the best salon I’ve ever been too! I have never loved my hair more than when I left there. Danielle took her time with me, and made me feel so heard, took that information, and gave me a better haircut and treatment than I could’ve ever anticipated! I will definitely be making this the salon I recommend to everyone!
Sarah was amazing for my curls! She listened to all I had to say and executed perfectly. She was friendly, organized, and skilled - not much more to ask for!
Sarah is absolutely the best!
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.
What a wonderful first experience at Alter’d Culture Salon! I made an appointment with Sarah, and wasn’t sure what to expect. I was greeted warmly and felt welcome, not in an overly enthusiastic obnoxious way, but in a genuine professional manner. Sarah consulted with me first, asking questions and listening…
Abba did a fabulous job! This was my first time to this salon but not my last. She listened to every comment I made and addressed every single one. And the scalp massage? Big yes!
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
I’m a big fan of Alter’d Culture and I’ve even referred several of my friends to it! Rayne does a great job and I’ve always had a pleasant experience.
Excellent service by Sarah. Will definitely recommend their services.
I came into my appointment very anxious and Erika made me feel at ease, was very kind, and listened to what I wanted. I came out of the appointment very happy with my cut and style. Will definitely be back and definitely recommend her and the salon to others. ✨
Rayne was amazing. Literally, somehow read my mind completely!! I left with exactly what I had in mind. Not only that but she was super sweet and so much fun to talk to. 100/10 would recommend!!
Sarah incorporated brief yet very effective scalp massages when washing and conditioning my hair and did an absolutely fantastic job on my cut. She used her expertise to guide my choices and I'm quite pleased ☺️
The stylist, Jazzmyne, was super nice. I got extremely comforting vibes and everyone was super welcoming. I felt like all my needs were met and all my questions were answered. Super thankful they could help on such a short notice!
Rayne is absolutely amazing. My hair always looks and feels amazing after an appointment with her!
Abba went above and beyond and exceeded my expectations! She listened, gave feedback and asked questions to make sure I left with the hair I wanted, she was confident and precise! She also recommend a few products and I got a deal playing the plinko game. I LOVE my new bob cut and can’t wait to go back to get again!
I loved this place so much! The stylists are so accommodating and kind. They were helpful and thoughtful, and answered any questions I had thoroughly and honestly. I can confidently say that this is the only salon I have ever been to which cut and styled my hair according to my hair type. Will definitely be returning.
Abba was SOOOOO amazing!!! My 13 year old daughter was in tears after someone (no one at the salon) cut a nice chunk out of her hair and not only did Abba fix her hair cut on a Sunday but she took the time to listen to what she wanted and walked her through the entire process with such patience and kindness! There…
Sarah was phenomenal! Extremely happy with my hair, made this older girl look and feel a little bit younger.
So happy I found my new stylist. Rayne did such a beautiful job and she listened and did exactly what I wanted
This is a great place to go for your hair style needs. All the staff are very helpful friendly and responsive. I never had any problems while I went there. It’s worth your time!
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 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…
It was not a good experience. I don't think my stylist knew how to cut curly hair.
Jazmine was amazing…asked questions to ensure my concerns were met, talked me through service. The treatment that she customized for me restored bounce, shine and texture of my hair.
Erika did a great job on my haircut. She took her time and made sure everything was perfect. Paying extra for the hair treatment did wonders for my hair. It’s so soft again. I’ll definitely be back to see her!
Absolutely love Alter’d Culture! Such a modern but yet so chic hair salon! I have been to many salons in Louisville & i will say this Salon is the best of them all! The girls are so friendly, very welcoming & they pamper you while they wash your hair & throughout rest of the visit. The Salon is very well decorated…
Super cute space, safe, and always a lighthearted/chill vibe :)
My son went to get a perm 1/2 hour away from home and spent an hour driving and 2 hours at the salon. He spent $80 and upon returning home his hair looked straight. As per instructions he waited exactly 48 hours before washing his hair. After which the results were terrible. His hair was left dry and brittle but no…
Rayne did so well with my hair! Not only did she pay attention to detail, but she made sure my cut complimented my face shape! Already rebooked for my next visit! :)
