When I arrived and was called back for my bridal updo, the hairstylist did not even know I was the bride. She asked if I was a bridesmaid. Before she started, she commented that she only had one hour. After I showed her a hairstyle that I had wanted, she told me that a lot of times in pictures like that they used extensions. I commented that I wasn't sure if my hair was long enough for it, but that I did not need that exact hairstyle, I just wanted it to be the inspiration. She half-heartedly braided a section of hair, and said that that was what they had done in the picture, but it looked nothing like the picture. I told her I didn't really like it. Instead of offering advice, or trying to come up with another way to do something similar to the hairstyle I wanted, she offered a couple hairstyles that didn't sound at all like what I wanted. One of the ones she offered, I thought was pinned up curls, which I thought might be the most similar to the windswept/not so formal style I had wanted so I agreed to it. Then, she never started pinning up the curls. The hairstylist didn't really talk at all, and I felt uncomfortable the whole time, so I just wanted to leave at that point, and maybe go somewhere else. My mom told me to have her pin up the curls, so I went back, and she was very annoyed about having to pin them up, saying that she'd offered to do it and I turned it down (completely untrue). After pinning it up, it looked better. It didn't look bad at all, but it was still not even close to the design that I'd had in mind when I walked in. I'd known the exact style might be difficult, but she did not use the picture even for inspiration. I went to the car and cried. To be fair, someone from the place offered to have me come back in and for someone else to do it, but there wasn't time at that point, and I'm never going in to Salon Rouge again after the initial experience I had on my wedding day. I looked online later so that I could remember my stylist's name, Madeline Newberry, and saw that she was on the lowest tier of experience. I had 3 other girls with me getting their hair done. There are only 2 stylists on that lowest tier. Why wouldn't they assign the bride to the person with the most experience? Why wouldn't they inform the girls styling the hair who the bride is? I have gotten updos at different locations for 2 weddings and at least 3 dances. I have never been treated the way I was treated at Salon Rouge. I will never return there. I will never recommend it to anyone. Every other updo I've gotten I felt like the stylist cared about what I wanted, and this time I felt like she just didn't give a crap. This was the worst part of my day yesterday, and no one should experience that feeling on their wedding day.

Antonio is the best! He always does great work on my hair. He is professional and courteous and entertaining. I always have a great experience when I come for my appointments with him.

Loved my experience! I went in for a full balayage and it turned out better than I expected! I was full brunette and knew the transition from a dark brown towards a blonde balayage would be a process. Jenna got it super light first time around and gave me some awesome advice on different products I could try that were in my price range. She did amazing! I'll be back in July! :)

Salon Rouge had a number of wonderful stylists who have worked there for several years and have returning clients. They do a great job with color, cut and style. Antonio has bee my stylist, but I would trust others if he’s not available. Your experience starts with a scalp massage if you wish. Recommend!

Everyone was very nice and welcoming here. I love how the stylists would compliment each others work which is how it always should be everywhere else! Thanks for the awesome experience!
