Ray did my haircut and he did great. I’m leaving a review because not only did he do great, but my overall experience with and impression of the salon deserves it. I came in with long covid-era hair and asked if anyone wanted to practice on it before the final cut. Not only did they get two full practice cuts out of my hair, the final cut was also used as a lesson. The commitment to continued learning, along with their existing talents, is why I’m so impressed with ColorBar. Additionally, the high level of communication throughout my experience worked well with my high general anxiety.

I rarely write reviews, but Larry deserves one. After getting my hair colored and cut in many countries around the world, I can honestly say this has been the best hair color experience I've ever had.
I'm usually very nervous about trying a new stylist, especially for color, but Larry makes me feel completely comfortable and confident. I trust his expertise 110%.
What sets Larry apart is that he truly cares. He listens to what you want, gives honest professional advice, and takes the time to do what's best for your hair. He works with passion and focuses on quality rather than rushing through appointments.
