It was my first time here and I personally feel that you should be able to walk in to get your hair done and walk out feeling great and loving your hair but I am old and I do feel like the salon world has changed over the last 5yrs or so. I spent about 245$ on a baylayage and cut. My experience- the color was ok only complaint about the color is, I had really wanted a full base color but was assured just the roots were needed. It did not turn out the warm brown I had requested/shown her and I did catch the vibe she did not want to take the time to do this since she was adamant about only doing my roots and also asked "what do you like about this color" and assuring me the rest of my hair already looked that way. I had expressed during my hair cut several times that I did not want my bangs cut to short. After being reassured several times and several trim sessions, shocker, we both agreed they were to short. I was then told: " they grow quick, they will be that length in no time" (referring to the picture I used to show what I wanted). Unfortunately I was really hoping to leave with hair I loved today. 🤷‍♀️ I had asked for curtain bangs and face framing layers, the hairdresser did blow dry my hair but plastered it down on either side of my head so you could not see any of the layer. She also told me that is how curtain bangs are styled. Maybe so, I guess I have always seen them blown forward then swept to each side. I again reference my picture and she just offered for me to do it myself. Pretty hard when they had already been blow dried straight to either side flat to my head and they were to short (lord farquaad). Ya live ya learn. I pulled into my drive way and the nape of my neck was bothering me. There was still toner or some sort of product in my hair making it feel gross and irritating my neck so (no styling product was used so coulnt be that). So I got to wash my hair again. Anyway, this was my first time going here and I do not see myself returning. I do think this is kind of the norm for salons now but I really feel when I am spening that kind of money I should be leaving feeling good with my hair not being told catch phrases about how it will grow out or wash it a few times and then you'll like it. I did get a 20$ discount for the bangs, yay?

• Heather

Let me tell you about Heather. I have had curly hair my whole life, and finding the right stylist has never been easy. Heather is the first one who made me feel like I had finally figured it out. She is simply the best. First of all, the woman has a memory that should be studied by scientists. You sit down, you catch up, you tell her about your life, and the next time you come in she remembers every single detail and asks you about it. It is like being a first class guest on the world's best cruise, except instead of an ocean view and a butler, you get a fantastic haircut and someone who actually listens. She makes you feel genuinely seen and cared for every single time. Her skills with curly hair are exceptional. She does not just cut it, she understands it, respects it, and may even whisper sweet thoughts to it. She works with it in a way that makes you walk out feeling like an entirely different person. My wife noticed. My mirror had no notes. Even my dog seemed impressed. But here is the thing about Heather. She has this energy about her. This aura. A bravado. You sit down in her chair as a client and you leave wondering if you just made a new best friend. She is just genuinely, effortlessly cool, and somehow that coolness transfers to you for the rest of the day. Honestly, Rochester should put up a statue. I am not being dramatic. I am being accurate. Heather, you are a legend!

I usually never leave reviews, but I had to this time! It was my first time at R!ah, and the front desk lady, Sonia, was so kind and welcoming! On top of that, I've never had better service than what Kayla gave me! She was kind and amazing at her job! She gave me advice on how to fix my hair and showed me so many products, and I left feeling so pretty and excited to go back! My hair was so perfect and healthy after!! Thank you, Sonia and Kayla!!

I love how my hair turned out!! I got a bad hair cut a week ago and came here to fix it. Taylor was amazing. She made sure to ask what I wanted and what went wrong, checked in on how I was feeling throughout the appointment, and made sure everything went smoothly. She was also so sweet and so easy to talk to. I was nervous because I hadn’t seen many reviews for curly hair, and I’m glad I took the risk haha I will definitely be scheduling with Taylor again in the future!
