The Bearded Lady at a glance

Google reviewers rate The Bearded Lady 4.8 out of 5 stars based on 218 reviews. Customers frequently praise the salon's eclectic, welcoming atmosphere, affordable pricing, and consistent results from skilled stylists who offer detailed attention and friendly conversation. However, lower-rated feedback indicates a recurring issue with short haircuts and clipper work, where some clients felt the results were uneven or required home retouching. Additionally, a few reviewers criticized the staff for appearing standoffish or unprofessional during their visits.

Would NOT recommend this place for short hair. Go to a proper barber honestly. But having gotten a cut with all 3 stylists, I just don't think any of them are very comfortable with shorter hair or anything with clippers, I had to retouch at home every time. Atmosphere is weird, they are a very stand-offish bunch. Last time I went Ash started cutting my hair before even asking what I was doing with it. Incredibly rude.

I’ve been going to The Bearded Lady for over two years and truly couldn’t say enough good things. The space is a down to earth, eclectic vibe that feels welcoming to all persons. The owner, Ash, is a wizard with a pair of scissors and a genuinely great heart! I always recommend this spot to friends!
