I LOVE THIS PLACE!

by jflygrl

i came to suburbia for the first time a few weeks ago. i was really nervous about changing stylists, but MARY put my mind at ease with her in depth consultation and her extensive knowledge about her trade. she gave me the best haircut i've ever had! that's saying a lot because i've tried numerous stylists in the past. MARY, you have a client for life! can't wait to try color with you!

• Pros: friendly staff, reasonably pricing, talented hair artists

I shouldn't let You Read This about Christine...

by GoGetty

because I might not be able to schedule an appt if people start to find out what I learned when I went to Suburbia for the first time last week not knowing what to expect. Two friends of mine have been raving about Christine Short, one of the stylists there. Well, I have to say they were right- she did an awesome job with my hair. My hair had kind of become a thing...I've been on this endless search and no one could get it right. (I'd been wondering, what had happened to all the good stylists) It was straight and long and a color brown that, well, honestly I've never been too thrilled about. Overall just rather listless and dull. It needed something it used to have, but I didn't quite know what. Christine made suggestions to help my hair have movement. She is the first hairstylist to get my color and layers right in years!!! She is awesome! She totally knows what she is doing, is meticulous and precise and very friendly. I love my haircut and will go to her again. She has an excellent chairside manner, she's really funny and puts you at ease, She listens, and best of all, she confidently gives you suggestions for your hair if you are unsure.

• Pros: friendly attention + amazing skills=Miracles performed daily
• Cons: only a little trouble scheduling an appt w/ the right person

AMAAAAAAAAAZZZING!!!

by nashaa

I have been searching for an amazing stylist and a salon with a great vibe for sooooo long and I FINALLY found it!! My hair has never looked and felt so fabulous!! I dont think ive ever been complimented this much! Im SO excited, that I want to share my experience with EVERYONE!! Not only were the prices and services SO great, but the energy is just WOW! Seriously, the staff is just so fun and friendly, and makes me feel great about coming in to get my hair done. I also discovered a DJ night with wine and cheese on one of my visits!! I guess the DJ only spins once a month, but the wine and cheese is EVERY Thurs. I highly HIGHLY recommend this hair salon to anyone who cares about great service, skilled stylists, awesome prices, and just an exciting place to be :)

• Pros: EVERYTHING! Plus wine, cheese and a DJ!!!
• Cons: NOTHING!

The Best Salon I've Found Yet!

by roxyka

After a terrible, horrible salon experience a few years back (my bangs got burned off in a careless bleaching endeavor--by a "professional"!!), I called Suburbia Salon to save me...and they did. My hair was quickly nursed back to health and has never looked better! The vibe is great, the stylists & staff are genuinely friendly, super cool, and extremely knowledgeable. Not to mention my first appointment ever was on a Thursday night where complementary wine, paired with a delicious cheese platter, was there for the clients to enjoy---what a treat! (Yes, they do this every Thursday night!!). Ever since then, I've been a happy, dedicated client, and have even stepped into the world of facials---please go in and get one!

• Pros: kickass atmosphere, friendly staff, great location
• Cons: zero

Not really worth the money

by JMMS

I went here for the first time for an eyebrow wax as it's right down the street from Universal Pictures where I work. First off I was a bit surprised at how expensive it was to "valet" my car ($4). With the prices the salon charges for their services, the valet service should be complimentary or at least $2 MAX. I was greeted by Andrea who was very sweet and friendly. She led me back to her waxing room which essentially felt like a closet shoved into the back. Not relaxing in the slightest and I could hear the loud conversations between the other stylists which made it even less so. Andrea did an ok job with my brows. It wasn't great, and took under 10 minutes. Upon further examination outside in the light, I noticed a ton of hairs she didn't wax/tweeze! It was very incomplete, shapeless and CERTAINLY not worth $25!!! Burke Williams Spa charges $30 for a brow wax and the experience is about 10x more relaxing and thorough. I was considering getting my hair cut at Suburbia before I had my appointment and now I definitely will not be going back!

• Pros: Friendly staff
• Cons: Pricey, Expensive/worthless valet parking, Rushed, Loud

Don't Go Here!

by JAdams

When I arrived at Suburbia, I was relaxed and looking forward to a bit of pampering - The girls who worked on me were sweet and did an okay job on my color but they were rushed and running around like geese with their heads cut off - They were engaged in several other conversations with workers and clients while they were tending to me and often seemed distracted and overworked. One even complained about all the work they made her do and how it is nearly impossible to work there. I couldn't wait to get out of there and felt like I needed to get to a Yoga class to just calm down - the place felt like a factory - too many people and not enough help - The manager spoke with me and basically made lots of excuses and ended up telling me to go somewhere else next time. I called the owner 3 times to discuss my experience and she never called me back. If you want good treatment and to get what you are paying for (this is place is pricy) definitely do not go here!

• Pros: girls who work there!
• Cons: management is terrible, factory atmosphere, rushed

Andrea is awesome!

by happystacy

I am currently a hair client of Jen's at Suburbia and recently tried out their skin care and waxing services with their new esthetician Andrea - AWESOME!! It was sooooo great to get my hair done and get all my waxing at the same time! I have since booked a facial with Andrea, and it was amazing . . . very relaxing, and my skin was glowing for days. I HIGHLY recommend Andrea (in addition to the fabulous hair services provided at this salon). Enjoy!

• Pros: great vibe, friendly and bubbly personality
