Appearances Hair Color & Dsgn

This is such a great salon! I had been with my stylist for over 10 years when he retired, leaving me to find someone I could rely on to do my hair as well as he had. After 10 years, he knew my hair and was an artist with it. I hopped around different places until I found Appearances. They got it right the first time! They explained my hair to me, which was great because although I already know what my hair is like, it allowed me to feel safe in knowing that she, too, understood my type of hair. It immediately put me at ease. She gave me one of the best haircuts I have ever had and I will be back for my color next week! Thank you Appearances! Pros: friendly, clean, modern Cons: difficulty parking in front more

I went to this salon a couple months ago and got a great cut! I was so happy and I thought I had found my perfect salon and stylist which was amazing because I'm pretty picky about my hair. When I called to schedule a haircut recently, the receptionist told me my stylist no longer worked there. She suggested Colleen, and I made the appointment. Later on, I found out that she was an apprentice. If the receptionist had told me that in the beginning, I never would have made the appointment with her. Colleen breezed through how I was telling her I wanted my haircut, and I could tell she wasn't really listening. She took less than 10 minutes cutting my hair before she got out the blow dryer, and said she was going to dry cut the rest. Not 5 minutes later, she is reaching for product to send me on my way, without once asking if I was pleased with the cut. I pointed out to her that it needed to be shorter in the back, the length of the sides weren't even, and she had cut my swooping bangs without asking where my part was, so they were crooked and didn't lay properly. She made an effort to fix her mistakes, but it soon became apparent to me that she didn't have the skill to give me the cut that I wanted. I decided to just leave before she did irreparable damage and get my cut fixed elsewhere. I assume that she was being ""apprenticed"" by the salon owner who was working in the chair right next to her, but he never once glanced over or showed any interest in the cut, although it was apparent that I was unhappy with the way it was turning out. I understand that everyone starts out as a novice, but until Colleen is at the point where she is doing quality cuts, she should not be working on paying clients or at least kept under more careful supervision. Clients should DEFINITELY be informed that she is an apprentice BEFORE they make an appointment. Unfortunately, I do not think I will be returning to Appearances. Pros: friendliness, cute salon Cons: poor quality cut, not upfront about apprentices more

I am a review junky and had to pipe in here because not only did I find this place by reviewing them on citysearch, but I totally agree with many of the reviews on here! I am happy to report that this salon is the place to be. They were voted top 200 salon in the NATION two times in a row and it is easy to understand why once you visit these guys. They are so down to earth, yet give you a service that makes you feel so pampered and important! The price is spot on. Not cheap, by any means, but not what you would expect to pay for such great service and skill. Really nice people. Everyone made me feel welcome. If someone happened to walk by me - eye contact was made and a friendly hello given. I love it that I found a place that has such a great friendly air with great service to boot! Pros: best color, cut and service around more

If you haven't tried Appearances before, you are in for a treat. Come on in and let us pamper you. Visit our website for updated information and specials. We look forward to meeting you. Pros: wow factor more

After having my hair cut here, I knew I had to write in and give credit where credit is due. These guys know how to run a business! From the friendly smiles to the precision hair cut I received, these guys have got it going on! Pros: attentive, skilled, friendly Cons: parking more

I am so glad I found this place! I had recently had a pretty bad experience at another salon down the road, when I read the great reviews about apearances salon and decided to try it out. They saved my hair! I absolutely love it! Not only does my color look amazing, but they fixed my cut to look gorgeous! I wasn't going to have a cut, but when my stylist suggested that she had something in mind for me - I decided to go for it and WOW! I'm glad I did. Pros: Professionals more

My friends bought me a gift certificate for a day to pamper myself after my daughter was born and I took full advantage of it. I got the whole works done, highlights and lowlights, new stylish do, even got my eyebrows shaped. I absolutely love it and will be back. I have such awesome friends! Pros: stylish, beautiful, clean Cons: can't think of any more

I decided to go to Appearances due to all the great reviews I saw here on Citysearch. They were also in a magazine as a top salon. Sounds great right....boy was I wrong. I saw the owner, and I felt so uncomfortable in his chair. After the hackjob of a haircut, he gave me the worst blowout, EVER!!. I looked ridiculous!! I Don't suggest this salon if you have fine shorter hair. Pros: Beautiful Salon Cons: Where do I start? more

My girlfriends could not stop raving about this salon and then I read an article in the paper on how they are one of the top salons in the country so I just had to give them a try. Boy am I glad I did! I had the best experience I have ever had in a hair salon at Appearances Salon. My stylist, Nicky, was amazing! My highlights are perfect! The owner was so nice and introduced herself to me as soon as I came in and even offered to give me a little tour of the salon before I met my stylist! Everyone was so attentive and asked if I was comfortable, if I needed a magazine or a drink (ohhh... they even have a little beverage menu so that you can see exactly what refreshments they have to offer!). Everywhere I looked, beauty surrounded me. This salon has it going on! I will be back and I will be bringing lots of friends! Pros: beautiful, comfortable, relaxing Cons: I can't think of any! more

Little did I know what a gem was lying right in my own backyard - at least in my own neighborhood! I have lived in Bradburn for 2 years now and had never, before now, gone into my neighborhood salon. I've always gone to Cherry Creek and never really thought about changing until it just became too inconvenient for me. Lucky me! I researched local salons and found this one and I am glad I did. They did a terrific color and cut on me and even explained to me how to maintain it! What a concept! They didn't push product on me, but they did tell me what products (that they carry) I would need in order to style my hair the way they did. I didn't buy into it, but after getting home and not having the ""right"" products to style my hair, I was at a loss. Needless to say, I was in the salon that same day buying every product they recommended and I am glad I did! Now my hair looks and feels flawless. Pros: experienced, product choice, clean, inviting more

I love this place! They really made me feel like a queen! What a great atmosphere: friendly, careing, and very attentive! I will be telling all my friends to come here! Pros: Ambience, expert service, professionals in every sense of the word! Cons: None! more

When gas prices started going up, I had to rethink driving to Cherry Creek to get my hair done. A neighbor of mine suggested I try Appearances. She said it was great and very close. I am so glad I took her advice! Not only is it much closer than my old salon, which I had been going to for over 8 years, but the service I received was so much better! They have several qualified stylists there. I asked for the best and they gave me several suggestions, but I ended up wanting to go with the owner. He is amazing! He has cut and colored my hair to perfection. Pros: upbeat, clean, professional, skilled Cons: must book appointments in advance for evenings more

I love this salon. I didn't realize how much I loved it until just recently because my regular stylist left a few months ago and after following her to her new place and trying it out twice, I realized that I wasn't even remotely impressed with her - it was the salon and the people in the salon at Appearances that I miss! The salon that she left to go to was nice and all, but the people there just didn't make me feel as welcome as the people at Appearances. I knew she was professionally trained at Appearances so I knew that I could trust them to make a good recommendation for me and they totally did. I wish I could remember the name of the girl who did my hair, because she was great! And everyone was just as friendly and helpful as I remember. They have even updated the decor of the salon, which looks fantastic! Pros: Beautiful, warm, friendly, welcoming Cons: hard to get evening appointments more

I was surprised by the clean and stylish look of the place as soon as I walked in. The people there sure know how to make a person feel like they are the only person in the room. As soon as I walked in the door the pretty girl behind the desk smiled at me and waved to let me know she saw me come in. She was on the phone at the time and I guess that was her way of letting me know she knew I was there. As soon as she got off the phone, she actually apologized to me for not being able to properly greet me right away! (It's so great that there are such people who still feel the importance of human communication!). She asked me if I would like something to drink and offered me everything under the sun with the exception of alcohol - oh, wait... I think she did offer me wine!?! I was getting a little nervous because I started thinking that my wife had sent me to some really high priced place to get my hair cut and I would be leaving there with little left in my wallet, but after all was said and done, the price was extremely reasonable! My hair cut was great, the service I got was great, the place looked great and I will be telling my buddies about it. Heck... I will probably buy my wife a gift certificate for her upcoming birthday. Pros: Everything! more

I read the reviews in citysearch regarding this hair salon and I have to say that I am so happy that I gave them a try! The owner was so friendly and knowledgeable and took such great care of me while I booked my appointment, making sure to ask all the right questions. She recommended me to Brinn, who was apparently fairly new to Appearances, but Sandra assured me that I would not be disappointed and boy was she right! Brinn was amazing! I came in for a color and cut and after talking more with Brinn, I was convinced to try something new and although I started out pretty nervous, she was so confident in her choice, that I couldn't help but feel at ease. When all was said and done, I left there with the best hair color I have ever had (and it's not something I would have picked out for myself!) I guess that is why there are professionals? hee hee. I will most definately be back! Pros: Service, Knowledge, Ambience Cons: I can't think of any! more

I just visited Appearances salon for the first time and could not be happier with the cut and color that I received. My stylist, Summer, asked me what I was looking for in both cut and color, and more than exceeded my expectations in how it turned out.\r \r They use great products (Kerastase & Bumble & Bumble) and I felt Summer took the time to talk to me about why she used which products. \r \r The salon was very comfortable and I had had the receptionist, my stylist, and another stylist who walked by while I was ""processing"" all ask me if they could get me anything to drink, a magazine, etc. The owner, Jim also came by to introduce himself which I thought was very nice.\r \r \r \r Pros: great stylist, customer service and enjoyable salon Cons: not inexpensive, but I've found you get what you pay for more

After reading many reviews on CitySearch about Appearances, I decided to try it out... BIG MISTAKE. \r \r I went in to get my current haircut trimmed, and left with nothing more than $50 wasted and a horrible cut I have to grow out. I told the girl I wanted my current cut just shorter and more shaped. I also explained I was growing my bangs out ..AKA DON'T CUT THEM. After spending 5 minutes talking over the cut I was confident that she understood what I wanted. \r \r The cut I left with was the complete opposite of what I asked for, and worst of all, she cut me SHORT bangs (They don't even touch my eyebrows.) The bangs are all different lenths, some 1/2"" long, others 1 1/2"" long. The back of my hair is choppy and nothing like the horseshoe a-line look I asked for. \r \r When I walked out, it was obvious that I was not happy with the cut, and the woman working upfront (I believe she said her name was Sonya?) brushed it off like it was no big deal. \r \r I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy. Pros: Easy Parking Cons: Lack of Technical & People Skills more

I was sent to Jim at Appearances because a very good friend of mine encouraged me to ""do something with my hair!"" I had never colored it before and was pretty anxious about the whole thing! Jim was very professional and extremely knowledgable; he just put all of my worries to rest. I knew I was in good hands when I sat in his chair and let him work his magic! Two hours later, I left the salon looking and feeling 20 years younger! And not only that... I feel amazingly beautiful!!!! It's been so long since I've felt this way. I love my hair and who knew that hair could play such a role in how I felt about myself?! I will be sending everyone I know, and even those I don't know to this salon! Pros: Professional and highly skilled Cons: Hard to get in with Jim, but worth the wait! more

I was amazed to see the recent reviews on here and wonder if they weren't put on here by previous employees? I have been a client from the very beginning and have been around longer than some of the employees at Appearances. It was no surprise to me to see some of them leave, as that is part of life. My stylist has been with Appearances from the very beginning, Lyndsay, and she is excellent. Talking with her, she has no desire to leave nor do any of the remaining stylists. Every time I come into Appearances, I have been greeted with a warm and sincere smile as well as called by name, which is always amazing to me, considering the amount of people they see in a day! Here is one client who will not be going anywhere! The service and the customer service has not been beat! I am here as long as they will have me and I have referred many friends and family members to Appearances and will continue to do so! You guys rock! Pros: Warm, Inviting Atmosphere more

This was my second time there. The first time I had a great stylist, I tried to make an appointment again and I have to say that I was very disappointed by the customer service. The recepionist had me on hold three times. I was on hold for about 20 min. My stylist had left, I had asked for someone who would be there for awhile. They got me in. On the day of my appointment, I found out that the stylist that they had put me with was her last day. I am very disappointed, my haircut was not what I had hoped for either. Pros: Great products Cons: The atmosphere was not very inviting. more
