I got Charlee as my hair stylist and she was nothing short of amazing 🌟 My hair coming in was a very rich brown and all one length. Leaving Republic salon, I now have layers and the most beautiful blonde to my hair. Charlee worked on her feet doing my hair for basically 7 hours straight and was so kind and just…

I had such a great experience at Republic Salon! Sarah H. did my haircut and balayage, and she absolutely nailed the cut—it looks amazing and exactly what I wanted. I ended up not loving the color I originally chose (totally on me, not her at all), but the team was so accommodating and got me in with Rizz right…

I am in LOVE with my new hair! Both color and haircut were just what I asked for and the stylist really took time to make sure that I was happy. Great staff (even offered wine and beer) and a clean salon. I will definitely be back!

My teenage daughter wanted a cut and color so we went in for a consultation. I was given a WRITTEN estimate for $200-$300 dollars. I was told to expect that it would be closer to $200 unless it was an extreme case that required a substantial amount of more product than expected. When I arrived to pick my daughter up…

Love Katie! She’s been doing my hair for years, & she nails it every time. I’m particular about my cut/layers & she is the only stylist I trust to get it right every time. My color is always so pretty, no matter what I ask for or what process she does. Katie herself is sweet & chill! You don’t feel like you have to…
