I love my new cut! My stylist Tommie gave me great feedback and listened to the ideas I had for my cut. I’m really happy with my new hairstyle. I wish I’d come in sooner.
Tommie is one of the best in city if not the best
Great experience! Kim, the stylist, recommended by a friend who has been a client of his for 30 years. Took the time to find the right color for a root touchup and taught me how to blow dry my hair for styling following the shampoo and hair cut.
Always a lovely greeting and such a sweet staff. Everyone comes out looking and feeling like a million bucks!
Everyone is so friendly and personable. I personally have had my haircut by Tommie and recently Alicia. Both do amazing jobs! My 13 year old recently had his hair cut by Kit. He liked the cut and Kit's personality. He very much enjoyed his first salon/ spa experience with Focus!
Focus salon is awesome! Best cut and color ever!
Topher as always is the absolute best- he is a hair coloring and hair styling genius!!! All the staff are friendly and helpful. Highly, highly recommend !
First time going there and had my hair cut and styled by Kit. She was super friendly and did a great job.
Kim is the absolute best as well as the whole staff at Focus salon. Everyone is welcoming and very fun. I look forward to my appointments!
Awesome environment, friendly, and welcoming. Hair services were fantastic and exactly what I wanted. Just got a lash lift and tint and I cannot believe these are MY lashes. Highly recommend!
Kit is an amazing hairdresser. She has serious skills at understanding what I am looking for and meeting me there. I always feel taken care of by her. All that on top of being an extraordinary soul and an amazing listener.
I enjoyed the people, the atmosphere and the vibe at Focus and on top of all that, got a good haircut from Tommy.
My stylist was so nice and super helpful. It was my first time booking at a queer friendly place and I was hesitant till I walked in. Everybody was super friendly and nice. My preferred pronouns were used and I had a great time overall. Definitely recommend especially if you are queer :)
I had a great experience at Focus - Bri did a wonderful job with my haircut!
Topher is always wonderful. He makes me feel pampered. We tried a new color today, and my hair is so vibrant!
Very queer-friendly, I was able to openly talk about transition and how styling my hair plays into that. My stylist Kit talked me through everything she was doing and why, and how I could maintain hair at home. 10/10
Kit was so wonderful and gave me the exact hairstyle I want. Can’t wait to be back!
Kelli is THE BEST!!! 10 stars ✨ across the board both times she has slayed my hair! Thank you, Kellz! 🤏🏽🫶🏽🩵😮💨
First time here and it was a great experience. Kelli was fantastic. My cut and color was great.
Had a super fun time with Alicia as always she did amazing with my hair! Always book my appointments with her and she never let me down. I do a balayage with different colors this time I chose a chocolate latte with Carmel highlights an I've never loved my hair more then I do rn!! Thank you Alicia
Focus salon is a fun a welcoming salon. I've been with the same hair stylist for over 30 years. Kim is the best. However he has a very good crew! They listen and give you what you want.
Moved to Louisville, a year ago and found Focus Salon after trying 2 other places. My previous Hairapist treated me for 14 years! I found my place, ask for Topher!
Thank you Kim Austin for a beautiful haircut!
Best experience ever! Kit was so amazing, friendly, and talented. My hair is like a dream come true! The whole staff + environment was kind and welcoming. Hadn't been to a professional salon but this has me hooked! Will be returning & telling everyone to come here. Seriously soooo good. Update: Went in for the…
Kit is amazing! I have a hard time explaining what I want and she nails it everytime. Just got my hair cut and i’ve been sitting in the floor playing with it for almost an hour. 500/10 highly recommend. She also took the time to explain how to do my hair which I so appreciate because i’m inept.
I had a facial and hair appt in the past few days and it was great! Abbey the aesthetician is funny, helpful, and you need to schedule with her for a facial- so relaxing! My skin was glowing! I absolutely love everyone at Focus Salon! Wonderful, caring team who love what they do!
Kit was so friendly, she listened to what I wanted and asked questions to clarify, she did great!
Kit was thoughtful, kind, and fun to talk to. She made sure she cut and styled my hair the way I wanted it.
Kim is such a great friend to me. I get haircare with a touch of psychotherapy.... (picture below me on the right).
Stylists are fun and relatable. And, of course, they do good work!!🌟🙌 I get to laugh, nothin’ better y estoy estilizado!
Topher never misses. He’s magical 💈
Alicia is awesome!!! I love my hair, I get lots of compliments.
Very friendly and welcoming atmosphere! Couldn’t ask for better customer service and the stylists and front desk staff are top tier!
Update: I went back for my coloring and Kit once again did amazing! I went full blonde and she did everything she could to make sure my hair would turn out exactly the way I wanted it. It is always a good sign when the stylist checks in often, gets second opinions to make sure timing is perfect, and then praise me…
Kelli does a fantastic job. It’s always exactly what I wanted, and exceeds expectations. The entire staff are amazing.
Caring, skilled, and professional - I definitely recommend.
Everyone at Focus Salon is wonderful. They are friendly and helpful, and willing to guide you with ideas if you need any suggestions on style or color. They are the only place I go.
Got the best haircut and service by Kit. She is a rockstar… She made me comfortable and understood what I want and did a tremendous job.. Kit is your person if you want a good conversation and best haircut and advices. Definitely going to visit again..
Excellent color service today! Had lots of fun getting my “Anime Hair!”
This girl is the best I’ve ever had! She is on her game
Kind. Easy going atmosphere with top notch stylist
Alicia did a great job once again
I have found my forever salon. This was my first time going to Focus and Haley made it a perfect experience. I will continue to go back again and again! Update: Went to see Haley again and once again she made it so easy and is great at explaining and helping me understand what we need to do to help me grow my hair…
Alicia is the best!!
Kim is AMAZING!!!! He put so much time into helping me decide on cut, color, and style. He gave me some great tips on styling and maintaining my new look. I walked out of there with a big smile feeling like a million bucks. Kim thank you so much for the great conversation and making me feel pretty again.

Kim is the best!
I was scheduled for a haircut with Kim. Showed them a couple pictures of a Shag/Mullet haircut I liked, but mentioned that I didn’t want bangs because I don’t like how they feel. He offered me a few suggestions and changes that would achieve the look I wanted without the annoyance of having bangs. I felt very happy…
Awesome stylists and nice atmosphere. Great experience every time
Super friendly and awesome vibe. New to the area, made me feel extremely welcome!
Haley is a dream

Haley did a PHENOMENAL job on my hair. I've had bad experiences with getting my hair botched before but she was very up front and honest every step of the way & I had no problem putting my full trust in her. Keep doing your thing girl you have a talent🥰
Ethel is great!
Mara was a fantastic stylist, the salon as a whole has a lovely, comfortable vibe.
Ethel is very personable and an excellent stylist. I came a little early and she took me right away. She asks for lots of input to ensure you get the haircut and style you want. I will definitely return to see her
I booked my appointment with less than 24 hours notice and they were able to squeeze me in no problem! Ethel cut my hair and did such a fantastic job! They did a great job at making me feel comfortable and walked me through every step of the process. She even taught me how to style my new haircut! She was very…

First time getting a Facial with Torrilla! (Sorry for spelling your name incorrectly). So much more than I expected. She is so good and took her time to explain things to me and removed things the dermatologist never helped with. She also recommended a skin care plan. Love her! Love this place! Ethel does a great…
Update: I made an appointment for my mom who has some mobility impairments and Topher worked with her to find a shape and style that she makes her feel glamorous. He provided styling tips that she can handle on a daily basis without pain. Topher is phenomenal from cut to color he is the best in the city! He…

Mara, as always, is outstanding! She spends a lot of time and I get great haircut every time! Nice staff, salon and great location. Easy to schedule or change appointments too.
I booked online with Ethel and had a great experience. I’m autistic and have sensory issues, and Ethel was super accommodating and made sure I was comfortable throughout. I also love how queer friendly the salon is. I’m very happy with my new haircut.
Excellent! Very happy with the service. Will return.

Great experience!!! Very good 👍
I really love Focus Salon.
I've been having my hair cut and styled by Topher for over a year now (as well as my brows waxed), and he's amazing. He is literally the best human, too. He fixed my cut the first time I saw him, and I have a regular monthly appointment with him now. I love my hair. I get a ton of compliments on both the color and…
They were super kind and gave me exactly what I wanted. Highly recommend.
Yet again, Focus knocks it out of the park. Metaphorical miracle workers the lot of them, and kind folks to boot. As long as I'm in the United States, I'm going here.
Ethel was incredible! I got everything I came for and more. Will definitely be back (;
Always great! Mara rocks!
I've been going to this Salon for Alecia for over a year now, maybe two. She's always very kind and patient. She does a fantastic job of bringing your haircut visions to life, while being realistic explaining what you can or can't achieve with your hair qualities. I reccomend her to lots of my friends and plan to…
Mara did a great job texturing and shaping my daughter's new do, she and I 💕 it!
I'm very happy with the professionalism and quality of my service. I would recommend this place to anyone. Alicia was amazing!
Mara (I think that’s how you spell it) was absolutely amazing! The whole experience was wonderful. She’s is fun to talk to and does an amazing job while holding a conversation! I’ve been wanting face framing pieces and long layers for a crazy long time & she quickly gave me EXACTLY what I was picturing. I could not have asked for a better experience
Kim and his team are hands down the very best in cut, style and color in this region! (Best prices too!)
Mara did an amazing job! Highly recommend getting your hair done here and with Mara!
Excellent work, couldn’t be happier with my new hair!
I love Focus! All the stylist are awesome, especially Alicia who has been cutting my hair for 2 years!
Very professional and extremely nice staff. I will definitely be going back here again.
Topher is awesome! Super skilled and really detailed and knowledgeable on how to care for my new cut and style!
From the friendly greeting when I arrived to the color consultation, and the spa room I was royally treated. Everyone listened to what I wanted and expanded my ideas into a complete look. I am already looking forward to returning.
By far my favorite salon I've been to! From the people to the quality of work, everything was amazing 🥰
Topher was amazing with my 4yr old who has hip length hair. He talked her through everything so she wouldn't be scared and made her feel so fancy!
I got my haircut by Mara, and she was wonderful! She was very friendly, and caring about my haircut. I showed her multiple photos and she was able to customize it to make it look best with my hair/face shape. I will definitely be returning ☺️
♥️
I am absolutely in love with my hair!!! Mara did such a good job & she is so sweet :) I had a great time and my hair looks amazing!!!

All the staff here were wonderful! Kim is magical with his satchel of shears and such!!
Alicia was sweet and very professional. I had my hair washed and styled by her and I LOVE the results! I would highly recommend seeing her!
Great price, even coverage with my color, love it!!
Topher is an artist, his pleasant demeanor and ability to turn my hair into art is impeccable. I am so glad I chose Focus.
I have never had such a wonderful haircut! The wonderful people at this salon, took the time to talk with me about what I wanted done. I was stuck between two looks, and they were able to help me decide which haircut would work best with my face shape and the time it took to style it. Ethel worked her complete magic…
Love it! Ethel Killed it again! The color blends so well with my gray trying to take over but not ready just yet. I have never had so many compliments on my hair. Best haircut and color I've ever had. Plus I drive an hour to go there. The whole staff is so great! So worth it because they tell me I'm worth it!!!! Best place❤️
Topher did an amazing job cleaning me up! Felt very sharp when I walked out.
I loved it my stylist Ethel did exactly what I asked for the entire staff I’d extremely kind at very attentive. Had an amazing time
I’ve been going to this salon since I moved to the city back in 2016. Alicia has always been so great! I was nervous going my first time because I have 3b hair and it requires a different approach & I've had issues in the past finding stylists who can properly handle my ‘in between’ hair type. Well this salon was…
Eithel gave me best layered hair cut with U shape and Fringes for my curly hair. I got many compliments about it. Totally satisfied with the service
This was an amazing experience. My stylist walked me through my entire cut letting me know exactly what he was doing with my hair and even gave me tips for how to manage and take care of my curls! I’m in love with my cut.
I was in Louisville from Chicago and looked up recommendations for a blow out Focus was listed. It was my granddaughter’s wedding and I was very pleased with how I looked for this big occasion.
Had my first haircut in 1.5 years of growing hair out. Ethel was amazing! She talked me through all my options every step of the way and made sure I was happy with the direction we were going—adding much needed body while making my hair look healthier as it grows. Love my fresh new look! Thank you, Ethel!! ❤️
Alicia is amazing! I always leave loving my hair! Wether it’s a trim or dying my hair a fun color, she is always on point and her input is always very thoughtful.
Top notch, every time! ✨
