I have been going to Jessica for quite some time! She is amazing! Her customer service is top tier! I highly recommend her hair artistry! 🤍
Its like a hidden gem in Concord downtown! I found Kari/Shade salon and Jewel through instagram and i thought to give it a try since it’s so close. Turns out it was a best decision , i got my hair balayage by Kari and you can tell she is master in her arts! I am so glad i don’t need to travel to uptown for my hair and their price is so reasonable !
Shades Salon was incredible! The staff and owner are super friendly, and welcoming. From start to finish the experience was fantastic. Brianna did my hair, and took the time to listen to what I wanted, while offering me her input. She is very skilled, and educated me about my hair and what products to use. My hair…
I can’t say enough about Brianna and her work. She has worked miracles this past year on my hair. It was so damaged from wearing hair extensions. (not done by her) She is very professional, knowledgeable, works well on scheduling you in when the time works good for you. Just so sweet all the way around. I leave her chair feeling like a million bucks.
I have been wanting to get back to my natural hair color(s) for a while but was beginning to think it wasn’t going happen. My friend referred me to Kari at Shades Salon. I had a consult and we set an appointment. Kari explained each step to me as she worked her magic and I LOVE the results!! Thank you Kari and all…
I recently had the pleasure of getting a balayage color and a blowout from Brianna, and I couldn't be happier with the results! I feel absolutely beautiful and spectacular. Brianna has truly gone beyond my expectations as my new stylist. The balayage color is stunning and perfectly blended, giving my hair a natural…
I had an amazing experience today at Shades Salon! Brianna worked her magic, transforming my hair from purple to a beautiful balayage with dark brown and caramel tones. Not only was she incredibly skilled, but she was also friendly and professional, ensuring that the process was done in a healthy way for my hair.…
I leave here feeling like a queen everytime! Enjoyable atmosphere and the stylist always know what you want. My kids enjoy their cuts and fun colors too!
Amazing cut and color by Genesis! I would definitely recommend and I will most definitely be back!
I had an appointment with Amanda this weekend. Our first-time meeting and she was wonderful ❤️ very thorough in her discussions concerning my hair and it turned out great. I have a second appointment set with her and looking forward to seeing her again 😊
This salon is beautiful and relaxing. I have been coming here for years. The owner is professional and beautiful inside and out. She has a great group of ladies working with her and A+ team. I would recommend anyones hair needs to Kari and shades salon.
Very great experience!! Amanda was very nice and patient. Loved my hair results came out so good. Will definitely come again!
I have been going to Shades Salon for a few months now. Brianna is fantastic! On my last visit she did a full foil that included a purple halo and money piece and I really love it. Everyone at Shades is so nice, I'm always excited to go back!
Brianna is an amazing hairstylist! She listens, pays attention to detail, and always delivers. Highly recommend!
Since moving to Concord, I have been on the search for a salon & hairstylist for my blonding services and I am so happy I found Shades Salon. Located in downtown concord, this is a cute and modern salon with all friendly faces. Stylist Brianna (Bri) was fantastic, she got me in last minute right before Christmas…
Genesis was amazing! I loved the result and overall just great experience!
Jewel was amazing; she completely transformed my hair!! Loved my experience with her and would definitely recommend booking your next appointment with her.
Genesis did a beautiful job on my hair. I did 2 different colors a vibrant purple crown around my head and the rest black. She really took her time, ensuring I was satisfied with the final result. I am due for a touch-up and will absolutely be back in Genesis chair in the next few weeks.
Love this salon! I Sabrina is wonderful! She is lovely and actually listens! Finally found my stylist after being in the area for 3 years!
Brianna is amazing hair stylist—actually artist. She listens carefully and checks in repeatedly to ensure she is meeting your needs. She is super talented as a colorist, too. Pleasant and professional.
Kari has been doing my hair for about 5 yrs. She’s absolutely fantastic. I’m a middle age, curly hair woman that likes my hair straight. My hair never looks brassy (which has been a problem in my past) or dull. I always walk out looking awesome 💕
I’m somewhat new to the area and was looking for a salon to cut and color my hair for an upcoming trip. After several days of researching and comparing numerous salons (yes, I’m THAT girl), I decided on Shades Salon for their great reviews, close location, and open availability. I was nervous for this appointment as…
I had an amazing experience with Amanda! From the beginning, she did an incredible job correcting my hair after a mishap with a different hairstylist. She fixed my blonde beautifully and I couldn’t have been happier with the results. The second time, she did an outstanding job with my color again. I highly recommend…
Kari and her team are magicians! I came with terrible color from a past experience and she and her team did an amazing job correcting my color and giving me exactly what I asked for! I e found a home at Shades!
Sabrina recently did my color at Shades, and I am in love! The ambiance and vibes of the salon were really nice, and I felt very comfortable during my entire appointment, highly recommend!

Brianna is the best at hair!! She got me so blonde with keeping my hair healthy! And she always does my nails and they come out looking so good <3

Kari is amazing and so talented in haircuts, hairstyles and coloring! She always takes time to listen to your questions and ideas and offers suggestions. I get…
I’m naturally a very dark brunette and wanted to go a lot lighter without straight bleaching my whole head and killing my hair. Kari did an amazing job! She listened to what I wanted and my concerns and told me what to expect. I’m so much brighter and I still have the option to go lighter if I want to in the future…
If you are looking for a place to get your hair done and feel pampered, THIS IS THE PLACE! 🤩 Kari is very knowledgeable about what you hair needs and gives you the right advice. I have been going there for like a year or so and every time I leave the salon, I feel great! The keratin treatment is a must have for…
