My sister Avery works there, the people there were so kind, going to get my hair dyed again if I could rate the a 10 out of 10 I would!
A huge thank you to the wonderful stylist Stephanie Noland! She is a true professional. My reference for my hair color was my natural shade, and she matched it absolutely perfectly. I also got a haircut and I have to say it was quick and turned out exactly the way I wanted. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I am seriously obsessed with my Medusa weft extensions. They are so lightweight that I forget I even have them in, which is huge because I have fine hair and was always worried about extensions feeling heavy or damaging. They blend so naturally and give me the fullness I’ve always wanted without putting stress on my…
Audrey does more for my mental health than my therapist. My God! Gifted as the day is long. She did my K tip extensions, color, and keratin. I’m obsessed.
Audrey is an incredibly talented colorist who truly understands how to bring your vision to life while making it work beautifully with your natural coloring. She knew exactly how to achieve the color and tone I wanted and blended everything seamlessly so it looks effortless. Audrey is also amazing at cutting…
Audrey is a hair genius! After not having a haircut for over a year I came to her and she made me feel like myself again! I can’t wait come back!
I had the best salon experience I’ve ever had with Audrey. I walked in with very thick, unruly hair — six inches of pure white regrowth and the rest a mix of old blonde — basically a complete hot mess. Instead of being intimidated, Audrey immediately put me at ease and walked me through a thoughtful plan for both…
Audrey is the best of the best! What an amazing experience. I would recommend anyone to go to her salon!
The Refinery Hair Lounge is absolutely filled with talented stylists. Audrey is co-owner with Dawn and both are hair artists. Audrey has been doing my hair for years and always does a great job. I have stubborn gray and she covers it with EVO brand color. She is fun and beautiful.
“I had been going to the same hairdresser for seven years, so when she moved out of state, I was in full panic mode. I booked an appointment with Audrey, and she instantly put me at ease. I’m so relieved to have found a new hairdresser—Audrey is amazing! Highly recommend!!
Audrey has been my hairstylist for over 10 years, and I can honestly say she is the best! Every time I sit in her chair, I know I’m in expert hands. She listens to what I want, offers great advice, and always delivers results that make me feel happy and beautiful. Her attention to detail and skill with extensions,…
“Haute Coiffure” just begins to describe Audrey’s talent! She is amazing, warm, professional, talented, explains things and listens to what your vision is. Couldn’t leave any more than 5 stars, she deserves 100! If you want to bring your vision to life, feel gorgeous, and get what you pay for; she’s your Professional ☺️

Love the new Touch Base & Go service! Quick root touch-up at half the price and time! This root touch-up is perfect for anyone on the go! This service works so well for my schedule between work appointments, the gym, carpool, etc. Thanks for offering this service, Audrey! See ya in 6 weeks 😜
I’m on a journey of changing years of box dye black to blonde hair and I couldn’t be in better hands. Audrey is a literal genius, whipping up my hair formulas like a master scientist. From the initial consultation, she provided honest feedback, realistic expectations and a confidence that let me know I was in great…
The best in Louisville
Audrey amazingly was able to do what I wanted from a photo I found online. She was up for the challenge and had a great positive attitude. She has vast knowledge about color correction and was able to take my hair safely through some processing. On top of that, the salon is beautiful and really cool and interesting.…
Olivia was wonderful and did a fabulous job with my hair. She exceeded my expectations and of course the salon itself is beautiful.
I recently visited The Refinery and had an outstanding experience! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and the service was exceptional. My stylist, Annie, was incredibly skilled and attentive, and my hair looks amazing! I showed her a couple pictures of the color I had in mind and she understood my vision…
I was so thankful to find Melissa Scott! After a bad haircut, she helped me get it back to a great cut and color! I always enjoy visiting her and catching up. She is a precious person inside and out!
I wanted to take a moment to share my remarkable experience with your establishment, which began when I won a giveaway you hosted on social media. As the date of my appointment approached, I discovered that my hairstylist from three hours away goes to your salon for her hair services, provided by one of the stylists…
Donna is the best of the best!💅🏼
I've been going to Melissa Scott for awhile now, and there's no way I would even consider going to anyone else...I followed her from Brooks, KY to The Hair Refinery just because of this. She used to be 10 minutes away and now she's about 25 minutes away.. but that doesn't matter at all. I would drive to wherever she…
I have been going to Melissa for over 16 years and let me tell you, she can DO hair!!! Long, short…no problem. Extensions…chef’s kiss. Blonde…don’t get me started. She’s a master! Sitting in Melissa’s chair is like a mini vacation that’s all about me. She is an expert at her craft and a master of conversation.…

I love the atmosphere of this salon. Melissa Scott is the absolute best. I have been going to her for 20+ years. She takes the time to listen and learn exactly what you want. Her suggestions are extremely helpful. I always enjoy our chats and look forward to the next appointment.
I’ve been seeing Melissa Scott for a couple of years now and I’ve always been happy with her services. She truly is amazing when it comes to hair color and knowing exactly what look I’m going for. Highly recommend her!
I had the best experience with Melissa Scott! She is so kind, attentive, and very knowledgeable. She’s helped me find a love for my curls again and how to keep up with them! I highly recommend her!!
Melissa Scott is amazing— the best stylist I have ever been to!! I have been going to her for 2 years now and always have the best experience & leave with my hair looking phenomenal every time! My daughter got her hair highlighted for the first time & absolutely loved it. We couldn’t imagine having another stylist!!
Melissa has done my hair for 20 years! Anything I’ve come to her with she always exceeds any expectations I have. She is truly a master behind the chair. Over the last two years she has done my hand tied extensions. With her knowledge my hair has grown tremendously & stayed healthy & free of any damage. She is the literal best!!
Olivia B. is so great at what she does. She was able to take my jumbled idea and make it a reality! She's so patient and communicative about what can be done, what would be best for my hair and what to do to maintain it after my appointment. I have a ton of hair and she didn't rush to try and get through it all fast…
Audrey is awesome. She gave me my confidence back. My life back. She's easy to talk to, down to earth and super sweet. Her extension and color work is fantastic! Highly recommend. She made me feel like myself again after recovering from TE.
Melissa is amazing! Color and cut always amazing.
Melissa Scott is hands down the best hairstylist I’ve ever had. I have always been extremely picky about who touches my head, been through many stylist. This woman has it all, cut color, extensions, conversation and comfort. Above all is her ability to make you feel like you are at home. 5 stars all day everyday.
I was referred by a good friend to see Melissa Scott! I'm so glad I trusted her ! She is amazing and truly listens to your concerns and what your hair needs are ! Plus she's always smiling and so positive ☺️ I immediately knew I wouldn't go any else!
Melissa Scott is ah-mazing! She has been through several hair style/color journeys with me and has always given such great advice and input on how to reach my vision without damaging my hair. She is always friendly, always smiling and always learning the latest techniques and styles to pass along to her clients.
Before Melissa my hair was dry dead and lifeless after Melissa’s magic :) my hair is full of body moisturize soft and shiny again:) She is extremely sweet and knowledgeable I am beyond please!!
