It was my first time at Mae Salon and it was such a lovely experience! Gia did my cut and she was amazing, she was super thorough and gave me exactly what I was envisioning! She was so warm and welcoming, truly one of the best salon experiences I’ve ever had! Can’t wait to come back!
Just had my first appointment at Mae with Kaylee and I’m smitten with the salon and stylist! It’s such a welcoming oasis (with snacks!! And bevvies!!) and I really feel like Kaylee could read my mind with where I wanted to go with my hair. She listened and then got in there and executed - brilliantly.
I found Mae salon through Instagram when I moved to Denver a few years back and I LOVE them. Since then, they have become more than just a place where I get my hair done... they have become my community! Every stylist in the salon is an absolute saint and hair genius. Kaylee is my hair artist and is the first…
Mae salon is like no other salon I have ever been to. I’ve been seeing Aja for almost 5 years and I am obsessed with everything she does!
I've never left a hair salon feeling so pleased and satisfied with my cut and style! Rinny was so nice and the salon was so wonderfully bright and calming and comfortable!
Aja did an absolutely incredible job with this salon! Her handpicked stylists are the best and the atmosphere is so cute and lovely. They are so accommodating and I always leave feeling like a QUEEN. Speaking of queens Grace is hands down one of the best hair stylists I’ve had in my life. Every curveball I’ve thrown…
I always leave this Salon feeling relaxed and fabulous! Everyone at this salon is kind and compassionate, never have I met a more cohesive customer focused group of ladies. This is self care to the highest level. My hairdresser, stylist, hair artist, downright magician, friend takes the best care of me, even offered…
If you’ve ever had the absolute privilege of Kaylee making your hair dreams come true, then you already know she’s that girl. A true queen. The moment she touches your hair, it’s like the heavens open and Beyoncé starts humming. She keeps it honest (because someone has to), her attention to detail is next-level,…
Kaylee has been a lifesaver for my blonde hair. She does an amazing job with highlights and long haircuts on my hair, and I trusted her to make sure my hair looked great for my wedding last year. The salon itself is such a warm and welcoming environment, I love the snacks and coffee offered and also best scalp…
I’ve had a great experience every time I’ve been to MAE! Not only is the space super welcoming, it’s LGBTQ friendly, has dedicated parking, and always has great snacks! I see Ashley Timmins for all my highlight and haircut needs, and I adore her. She helps hide the insane amounts of grey hairs I have so seamlessly.…
The first time Ashley cut my hair I knew that I couldn't go to anyone else! A few years later, followed her over in her move to Mae - what a beautiful space in every way! Very bright but calm, welcoming, and I love that it's a queer space. Couldn't recommend Ashley & Mae enough!
What can I say about Ashley - she’s absolutely phenomenal. Best stylist I’ve ever had! She’s my go to for it all - full color, gray coverage, cut/style, blowouts, you name it. She gives every client her best, every time & it shows. You can tell she puts in the work to constantly better herself, to again, be the best…
Jess helped me transform my shoulder-length hair to a cute pixie! She was SO patient and took extra time to make sure it was just how I wanted it. The salon itself was also amazing- so relaxing and calm!
Kaylee is THE BEST! My hair hasn’t felt this healthy in almost a year since I moved out here. I cannot wait to be back. Not only was Kaylee amazing but her other coworkers were so welcoming as well. THE BEST ENVIRONMENT ❤️ I very much recommend to go here!
Mae Salon has such good vibes and great people. It’s a beautiful space full of natural light and cool plants. I know that whenever I’m in Kaylee’s chair, I’ll be taken good care of. She’s talented at her craft and so compassionate, ensuring any questions I have are answered before, during, and after my services. I…
Libby is amazing! She worked magic on my straight brown hair, giving it natural, low-maintenance highlights that look incredible. I’d never had layers before, but she added them in perfectly—and now I can’t imagine my hair without them! I’m so happy with the results and recommend Libby to everyone. Can’t wait for my next visit!
What a CUTE salon! I went to see Kaylee for a more “lived in blonde” bc I felt so washed out & yellow — she absolutely nailed it. She also did a consult ahead of time to understand my goals. Flawless execution. I’m so glad I found MAE!
Grace is the absolute best, she’s been doing my hair now for over a year. She transformed me to a red and I get sooo many compliments! Plus the salon is so adorable.
Jess is incredible. She’s very attentive to my needs and wants when it comes to my style. She offers me options when I’m thinking of making changes. She’s top notch! I highly recommend her!
I had this salon recommended to me by a non-binary friend who absolutely loved their service and a had just recently had a gotten a hair cut. And about two weeks ago now, I went into get my hair trimmed and have it professionally colored for the first time in my life. I have to say that the service was nothing but…
I’ve never been to a salon for a professional haircut and I absolutely loved my experience thanks to Libby! My haircut is exactly what I wanted and it feels so fresh and amazing. She was so sweet and made sure to check in and get it exactly how I wanted. The salon was also gorgeous and had such a good vibe in it.
Talk about an experience! Every time I’ve seen Aja, I don’t just leave with incredible hair, I leave feeling calm and happy. The vibe of a salon makes ALL the difference and the vibe here is an 11/10! Highly recommend!!
The best place in Denver to hang out and get your hair done - hands down! So many incredibly talented stylists, they even have lashes and a tattoo artist! Their events are so thoughtful and fun and I feel like every time I walk through the door is like a massive hug - 10/10 recommend and I do often… to as many people as possible!
Aja is amazing! She does such an amazing job with my partner’s cut and color (long hair) and my short hair. We always have the best experience in her chair!
I have the best hairstylist in Denver, and she’s an absolute badass. KAYLEEEE!! I’ve been seeing her for years, and every time I walk out of her chair, I feel like a new person. Whether it’s a cut, color, or just a trim, she always knows exactly what my hair needs. It’s not just about the results (though those are…
I recently had the pleasure of visiting Mae Salon + Wellness, and I can honestly say it was one of the best salon experiences I've had. The vibes at the salon are amazing, and you can really tell that the owner, Aja, puts so much care into creating a positive, inclusive, and wholesome atmosphere. From the moment I…
Absolutely amazing! Such a great experience! Kaylee did my hair & truly listened, I am now rocking the short hair and absolutely love it! She is a miracle worker! - I’ve also gotten two tattoos done by Hannah and I can’t wait to come back for my third! She’s so sweet & so talented! The atmosphere at Mae is so cozy…
Libby is amazing!! She’s a wonderful stylist who knows how to enhance one’s natural beauty! On top of that she’s a great conversationalist. I felt comfortable and cared for during my whole visit! I’ve never had my hair done at a place that considers your whole experience like they do. You walk in and there’s a…
kaylee is the best human and my hair god
Kaylee was brilliant. She did an amazing job on my color for our first appointment together and also a really lovely cut. I'm very happy with how it looks, and she has also given me tons of good tips on styling. I will definitely be going back to Kaylee!
Mae Salon is such a comfortable and cute spot! Libby is a great stylist who really has an eye for detail. She helped me determine what I wanted to do with my hair and I’m in love with the results. She is so talented and makes the whole experience so enjoyable. I highly recommend Libby!
Libby is the best stylist I have been too. She was a joy to be around! I immediately felt comfortable in the salon because of Libby’s kind demeanor and the space itself was beautiful. Libby listened to my opinions and added advice that made my haircut amazing. I will continue to book Libby and would highly recommend…
My time at Mae Salon meant so much to me. My hair was lackluster and I deeply needed a bright new look. Hair holds trauma and I felt mine was weighing on my shoulders in more ways than one. I was ready to get some weight off despite being very attached to my long hair. I saw Aja and she was patient and kind in…
Love getting my cut here. Talented stylists and great scalp massage! Always leave here feeling great!
Love Emily and her work. Will absolutely return.
I mean, hair services, a lash lady, tattoos and sound baths?! New favorite salon! 😍
Jess Rabine did my wedding hair and I was obsessed! It withstood the wind and went so cute both with my earmuffs and without ♥️
I love Mae! It’s so relaxing and always has fun events. I see Emily there for my hair and she always knows how best to cut my hair, I always feel great after a hair cut. I’ve also gotten a few tattoos from Hannah, she is such a light energy and I love that it is stick and poke!
Mae salon is not just a salon, it is a spa-like wellness experience! From the moment you walk in the door, you can sense the intention lovingly poured into this place. I’ve been seeing Jess for a while now, she is amazing! She takes hair health seriously and her eye for color is wizard-level. Cannot recommend this place enough!
I’ve been seeing Emily for more than a decade and would literally follow her off a cliff if it meant she’d keep doing my hair. She’s taken my hair from a bright blonde to a rich brunette and it’s been fabulous at every stage. I love that’s she’s focused on low-maintenance color options - my hair looks great and it…
Emily is so personable and knowledgeable. I’ve been going to her for over 8 years and have never looked back. My hair has cowlicks and she always manages them well.
MAE is a high end salon staffed by warm, welcoming and quality (in all ways) people. The atmosphere was warm, the amenities plentiful. This week there was a hot chocolate bar! I had color and highlights as well as a cut and my stylist spent a lot of time in consultation with me to insure she had a clear…
Aja always makes me look my best. Great salon. I'm ready for the holidays
If I could give a public speech about how FREAKING incredible this place is I would. Literally everything about this place is absolutely amazing. The vibes, how welcoming and peaceful it is, everyone in there is beyond amazing. All incredible energies. Ugh. I want everyone to experience it.
I recently had the pleasure of getting my haircut from Kaylee, and I can confidently say it was the best men's haircut I've ever had! After years of visiting various salons and often leaving with less-than-satisfactory results, I finally found my go-to stylist. Kaylee’s attention to detail and expertise truly set…
Mae is such a lovely experience - gorgeous space, lovely touches to make your experience that much better. And the team is incredible!
I have been visiting Kaylee for my hair care for almost a year now, and I can confidently say she is the best hairstylist I have ever had! Her expertise in creating stunning balayage and her precision in haircuts are unparalleled. If you're looking for exceptional results and a truly enjoyable experience, I highly…
Talent stylists, wellness vibe and community feels. Whatever you’re coming in for you are in great hands. Snacks, drinks and WiFi make arriving early or lingering after especially enjoyable. Strongly recommend.
I can't say enough positive things about Mae Salon! The atmosphere is absolutely adorable and Kaylee is an amazing stylist. We immediately clicked and it was like chatting with an old friend. She truly listened to everything I wanted with my cut and helped me style and curl it. I usually hate cutting my hair because…
I absolutely LOVE it at Mae - all of it. Aja is the best (biased because she does my hair) but the entire staff is incredibly friendly and I feel at home every time I walk through the door. Drinks, check. Tattoos, check. Need an IV drip, they’ve got ya covered. Feeling lashy? Extend em! Bring your computer and…
Jess is awesome! She listens to what you want and helps shape it to ensure it works with your kind of hair. And the salon experience is calming and a great escape from the world outside while practicing self care.
Best place for a girl to get pretty again! Love Aja and the salon ❤️
Aja is very talented in her hair cutting skills. I always get complements on my hair.
There aren't enough words to explain how amazing Kaylee is. I came into the salon with a mess of hair from a previous stylist. Kaylee took this challenge with patience, grace, education and understanding. She not only educated me on the current state of my hair, she explained every step of how she was going to…
Cute and clean salon! Very welcoming. Kaylee is so friendly and has always done such a great job with not only the cut and style, but educating me on styling my own hair 😊
The vibes: 5 STARS. The head massage: 5 STARS. The service: 5 STARS. Found my new forever salon. Highly recommend. Oh, and treat yourself to a scalp-facial!
Vibes are just wonderful, a great place to get your hair done.
Aja always takes the time to see how I feel about my hair and what I want. She also will give suggestions about any changes we could do. Today Aja talked me through how to move forward to make a change in my style. The time spent in the salon is always a great time with the atmosphere and the personalities. Thank you to Aja for what she does☺️
Been coming to Mae since they opened and it’s an awesome salon. It’s so cute and cozy. Emily has been styling my hair for like 9 years now so of course I made the move with her. Would highly recommend Emily and Mae salon!
This chic, spacious and unique salon on South Broadway is absolutely worth trusting with your salon/spa-like needs! 10/10 can recommend and I’ll be back with the girls in a couple of weeks for more pampering. Thank you Mae Salon & Wellness!
Aja does my color and cut - perfectly every time. We’re new to the area and I wasn’t sure I’d find someone as much as I liked my stylist where we came from. So happy/lucky to have found Mae Salon and Aja.
I got an amazing curly cut from Chris today. They really took the time to understand what I wanted with my hair. They were also super helpful and took time to explain products, styling and the process as they went through it. I really appreciate how thorough it was. I felt very comfortable there and super excited to go back again!
Mae is a spectacular Salon. Everyone is so talented. I love when I get to go in for a fresh cut and pamper day. Staff is amazing- Manager goes above and beyond, and it is a beautiful space.
I am so happy with the cut Chris gave me! I so appreciate Chris’ thoroughness and attentiveness, and of course Jack 🐶 thank you Chris for taking time to understand me and my hair needs. I’ll be back!
I’ve recently been searching high and low for a new stylist and I’m so happy to have found Kaylee!! She was very thoughtful and thorough with her consult and my color is exactly what I was hoping for. She is definitely skilled with lived-in blondes and has a fun and friendly demeanor. :) I love the vibe of the salon. Highly recommend!
I had such a great experience here! Such a safe, welcoming, inclusive space. I have trichotillomania and it has been so difficult to find a hairstylist who has even heard of the condition. Most of the salons I reached out to just said they couldn't help me, but Mae Salon was so kind when I reached out in search of a…
Fantastic salon!! Cute and welcoming space with friendly and very talented stylists. Can’t recommend enough, especially Kaylee!!
Amazing cut and color by Kaylee . The vibe of the salon is so relaxing and I enjoyed a lovely oat milk latte as we discussed my hair. Jack the shop dog gave me some awesome cuddles while we colored my hair. Mae uses wonderful products and has the best staff. I love supporting a local woman owned organization. I…
Chris is absolutely fantastic! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Chris is very knowledgeable and genuinely cares about you and your hair. They took the time to listen to what I wanted and checked in with me regularly to make sure I was feeling okay with the haircut. That was such a great experience I…
Love the way Aja does my hair, waxing and everything about the experience. The salon has such a fabulous vibe. Highly recommend.
I've seen Chris three times now for cuts & trims on my curly hair and they are THE BEST. Chris asks lots of questions at the start of our cut about what I like & don't about my current style/length, and listens attentively as I explain what I want and how much effort I am willing to put into washing & styling once I…
I really appreciate the care and presence that Chris provides in the time that you spend with them. Today was a particularly hard day for me and they provided a soft space for me to feel my feelings. They're also so amazing at working with my alopecia. They're a true gem overall. Highly recommend esp for queer affirming haircuts!
I LOVED working with Chris. After even just a little time with them, I felt heard and supported in both what I wanted for a cut but also in what they thought would look good on me as well—I really appreciated that. It was so much fun and having their sweet pup, Jack, on my lap while getting shampooed was the icing on the cake!
Wonderful!!!!!
Woman and queer owned - Mae is amazing! It’s beautiful and cozy inside. You’re met with a coffee and cocktail bar to take with you to your services. This is a true collective with hair, lashes, tattoos, and more. My stylist is Chris, and they are amazing. They not only knock my style out of the park, but they do so…
Jess was amazing. The salon was peaceful, beautiful and such a warm and welcoming space. Can’t wait to be back regularly!
Chris is such an incredible stylist and person! I had a horrible hair cut experience recently and Chris gave me faith and confidence in my hair. So knowledgeable and professional.
Everyone here is aMAEzzzzzing! One hundred percent a vibe. The ambience, care & feels leaving there take me there. Nikki is & has been my go to IV gal for years. Thanks to her for bringing me in & introducing me to Chris, my new smooth curl operator. Highly suggest this salon!
Love everything about Mae Salon! The owner Aja is a real gem and incredible at her job! It’s a welcoming and beautiful space and I am lucky to be a client!
Kaylee is the actual best. She knows exactly what I want even though I don’t really know or know how to communicate it. She is so delightful to chat with and the queen of a relaxing hair wash. Would come every day if I could!
Jess Rabine is an amazing stylist! I love the peaceful vibe and cleanliness of the salon. Great service. It is so refreshing to get my hair styled in a space that is quiet & calming. Easy parking..I will definitely return!
Jess is the best stylist, hair color expert and wonderful human being! I love my time with her. Mae salon is bright, beautiful, easy to find free street parking and has so many things to offer. Personally getting drinks or coffee on the way in! Love this experience and salon. Always beautiful ✨
Amazing atmosphere and high quality services!
I’ve been coming here for years! I love Aja ❤️
I have been with Aja before she had her own salon and have supported her journey since. Her sheer talent is next to none. Her newest salon is absolutely gorgeous and makes you feel pampered just by stepping through the doors. The staff is warm and welcoming and each stylist is incredibly talented. You can tell…
Aja does amazing things with hair. She listens to what you want, gives advice and the finished product is better than I could have envisioned. I won’t go anywhere other than Mae.
Aja is the absolute best! I 100% trust her with whatever hair decisions she makes for me. Mae is also an incredibly beautiful space, with a vibe that is exactly what you want when pampering yourself. 10/10 would recommend!
Mae Salon is absolutely gorgeous and I love my hair!!! Kaylee is a wonderful stylist who took the time to ask me lots of questions and find out exactly what I wanted, and she was meticulous when highlighting my hair. The salon is so beautiful and I felt like I was at a spa while I was getting my hair washed! Love, love, love Mae Salon!
I went in for a haircut and booked with Chris online. Their website was super user friendly and I was able to book same week. The salon has the best aesthetic and everyone was super welcoming. Chris listened to what I was looking for and gave me a great cut and shaping while we chatted. I have a newborn and toddler…
The salon is so inclusive. When you walk in you feel a sense of relaxation, comfort, and safety. I love that you can request appointments with minimal interaction, they really think of everything here to make you feel safe and seen! Aja is one of the best stylists I have ever been to. She is incredibly talented and…
Mae salon has such a cute and fun environment. It is always filled with snack and drinks- and all the ladies who work there are kind and welcoming. I’ve been seeing Aja for over 10+ years and she is the best- and always does a great job when styling my hair, and makes sure I feel great when leaving the salon.
Wow! Best haircut I’ve had. Kaylee was not only so knowledgeable, but also so attentive to my needs as a client. She gave me what I asked for and more. I will be back and referring all my friends. Thank you so much!!!
Chris gave me the most fabulous blowout! I am definitely going back to her for all my hair needs
Aja is pure magic! Honestly I won’t trust my hair to anyone else. I am so impressed by her and the entire salon and always recommend Chemistry to my friends and colleagues. You will not be disappointed. 🤍
Chris is my favorite! I recently moved to the city and was looking for a transgender & neurodivergent friendly hair stylist that could help me find some more gender neutral non binary hair cut options and they were so incredibly kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. I couldn’t recommend them more- especially for bleach…
Aja is a fantastic stylist and her new salon is beautiful and spacious. Great location with lots of natural light easy parking. Congratulations!
Love the vibe on this salon. I have been seeing Emily for a long time now. I basically follow wherever she goes. She's the best stylist, extension expert in Denver!! Highly recommend her.
I recently had an appointment at MAE Salon and Wellness and let me say, it is SUCH a cute salon and it radiates peaceful vibes. I was really able to relax and was completely blown away by their stylist, Sara. She masterfully handled my cut, and her expertise with vivid colors and color overall is unparalleled. The…
Everyone was welcoming and knowledgeable!
Aja has been my stylist for 8 years, & I love her. Through all the lengths and colors, I come for the cut and leave with a better, more positive me. Thank you!
Warm and inviting! Stylists are talented and listen to what your want and make it happen.
I’ve been seeing Aja for a couple years now and she is the best! I love my extensions and color, she’s the master of blondes and can get you to whatever you’re looking for. I showed to her like a lost puppy in need of big time help. My extensions were a mess and color needed some help. She rescued me. ❤️
It took me six years to find a stylist and salon I love here in Colorado, and I found that in Aja and Mae Salon! This place is gorgeous. The new salon is airy, peaceful, and bright. You can feel the intention that Aja put into every detail, and I’ve never had my hair cut in such a gorgeous space. Aja is talented,…
I have been getting my hair done by Aja for over a decade and I couldn’t imagine seeing anyone else! Aja is incredible talented, patient, and knowledgeable. Not to mention her salon is STUNNING! 1000/10 would recommend! Cut, color, extensions- she does it all!
Aja and this studio are amazing! The space is welcoming, calm, and has the best vibes! It has everything you need, all the drinks, an area to work, and the best staff ever!! If you’re looking for a place to go for a service, go! You won’t regret it!
Bayliee did a fantastic job coloring my hair. Listened to what I wanted and gave me exactly what I asked for. Salon is very clean and great vibe. I highly recommend.
Aja is hands down one of my favorite people and an incredible hairstylist! She's been doing my hair for years and the salon and environment she's created at Chemistry Hair Lab is everything!! It's open, full of plant life, sunlight, and most importantly talented stylists who want you to look your absolute best!! If…
