Henry’s Salon

I got my hair cut and colored by Claire and I am beyond impressed at how nicely it turned out. Sadly, I haven’t been able to make it back in for a touch up/​recolor due to conflicting schedules. However, even four months later I am still getting compliments. It was very vibrant when first done but has faded to a nice ombré.

My man Jorge has been cutting me up now for over 3 years. As a Philly boy, haircuts are crucial to success and you are in more than good hands with Jorge. He takes great care of the men and the ladies!

The stylists at Henry’s may be talented, but the service is unacceptable. I was not impressed with the customer service at this salon on my first visit, but decided to give it another chance because the cut that I received from Anthony was very good. I booked my appointment two weeks in advance, arrived at the salon on schedule and waited for 30 minutes with no acknowledgment from either stylist or offer of water from receptionist. When I realized that the stylist was just starting a color procedure on the current client, I approached the receptionist to find out what was going on and was told that I did not have an 11:30 appointment, but a 2:00. This was not true as I would not book an appointment 30 minutes before I need to pick up my daughter from school 20 minutes away. I was told that they could fit me in the next day at 1:00. Come next day, I called two hours in advance to confirm my appointment. When I arrived, I again waited for 20 minutes before the stylist sat down to tell me that a mistake had been made and he wasn’t sure how he could fit me in as he had another client coming in at 2:00 and that oops their system didn’t distinguish last names and the receptionist mistook me the day before for a client with a similar first name who then had her appointment cancelled and had to be rescheduled. The lack of apology or even concern about this issue happening two days in a row (to two clients even) was appalling. I walked out fuming and immediately went to the nearest Aveda salon where I know that customer service is the top priority.

I was 15 min early and still waited 20 min longer because my hair stylist ran across the street. Ok, well I knew my hair would be a lot of work and time because I wanted an ombré. I showed pictures and was very specific. The dark of my ombré is longer then I wanted, the underneath part of my hair which was the darkest should of been done first which it was not, therefore leaving the top of my hair fried because the bleach was left on way to long, and the bleach should of been washed off. Then I don’t consider a good tone on wet hair right after the bleach is washed off. Spend time to dry the hair and actually put toner in. For the money pick another salon! You know your stylist isn’t proud of your hair when she takes a before picture but not an after picture :)

Ok, so this is a story of the GOOD HAIRCUT THAT SAVED THE WORLD. Seriously, I’m waxing hyperbolic here, but hang with me:
I got a bad cut — I mean, it happens, right? But this was the bad haircut after the bad week and the bad break-​up. But I’m a big girl, I figure it will grow. So, I go home. Wash it. Two days later, the color is starting to green up, the shape is wrong no matter how I style it, and I’m getting more upset.
I decide to ignore the color (figure that it will fade) and call Henry’s about the cut (FYI: I got the poor cut at Henry’s too, but I really don’t want to focus on that. The stylist was very nice, and I think this was just a mistake. Anyways, this is a happy story!) and Amy Knoblauch answers the phone. She’s so nice, so understanding, that I just tear up on the phone, apologizing for being so emotional and trying to sound *not like a crazy woman. Anyways, she just tells me to come straight in, even though it’s 4:15 on a Saturday and they’re closing in an hour. Just to reiterate: Amy is awesome and friendly and competent.
I get the salon and I’m handed over to *DJ Taylor*. I’m sorry it took until this point in my piece to actually mention him, because the whole point of this post is to say DJ IS AMAZING. He spends 3 solid minutes just piecing apart my hair and examining it: the structure, the color, the remains of the cut underneath the cut I’d just gotten (srsly), and asking me to tell him what I’d been originally looking for. Then he pulls up a chair and sits down, turning me toward him. And then he lays out his thoughts, his plan of action, and what he thinks I need. He is brutal — and this I love. I mean, I want my stylist to listen to my vision and also to my life situation (I’ve got no more than 20 min to do my hair and get out the door — curlers cannot be part of the daily grind) but I’ve come to the salon because these people are the experts.
Anyways, he says, «You’ve got a round cut grafted over a square one. I can make improvements… also, you need a different all over color because these highlights are wrong for you, and make your hair look dry and flat at the roots.» (I paraphrase.) Now, remember, I only came in because of the cut, but he recognized the issue was bigger than that, and even though it was the end of his day, and even though the rest of the salon was closing, DJ started to work on my head.
We ended up being the last two people in the salon, and I know he was probably very tired, but he was friendly, brusque, professional and caring as he spent a full hour fixing my head. And when he was done, I looked like a different person. A warm chocolate brown with subtle and fading highlights in a blunt ended bob with a sloping bang and gradated layers, turned me into a modern take on an Italian screen siren. Totally swish-​tastic, and I haven’t had a bad hair day since.
To conclude: I don’t even live in Denver, but I’m going to plan travel to see DJ every few months. The man’s a genius.

The stylist gets a 1 and the Salon a 5. Andre may be competent, but he gave me the color HE wanted, not the one I explicitly requested (which he had done twice before without incident). When I called the next day, the receptionist was helpful, and another stylist tried a fix at no charge (though I tipped her). After talking to sympathetic friends, I called a couple days later and explained to Henry what had happened and asked for a refund on the initial color (and tip that I stupidly left because I was in COMPLETE SHOCK). Henry may have been skeptical of my version of events, but he was responsive and I got my refund. I recommend Henry’s (but beware of «edgy» Andre).

I have been getting my hair colored for 20 years… so imagine my shock when ED turned my hair GRAY! He not only let me leave the salon that night, with the worst hair experience of my life, but the next day after «fixing» it, he let me leave again. This time I was wise not to go back! Here is the icing on the cake, Ed and the Henry agreed to refund me for the awful work… ED kept the tip!!! Classy!

David has been cutting my hair for the last 7 or 8 years.
I struggled finding a decent hair cut in Denver for a year or so before trying a barber shop that David previously worked at.
I originally went to the owner or the barber shop and was very happy with the cut. Then there was a day he wasn’t available and I needed a fresh cut for a job interview so I took a gamble and asked for whoever had an opening. This is odd for me as I’m extremely loyal once I find someone who gives me a cut I like. However, this time really wanted this promotion and really needed a hair cut.
David was the guy with the opening and I have not strayed since.
I moved out of state for a while and typically came back on really short notice. I’d call David to see if he had an opening and even when he didn’t he’d typically stay late to get me taken care of.
When I moved back to Denver it had been a few months since I had been to David and he had left the shop he was at. The person I initially spoke with didn’t know where he had moved to. I waited a few days and called again and was able to find out where he had moved to. They were awesome enough to let me know where he had moved to.
I’ve been going to Henry’s for a couple of years now. While it’s not a place designed specifically for men like the last place I understand his need to move on and have adjusted to the new environment.
The cut is really all that matters and that is why this is a five star review. David gives quite possibly the best cut I’ve ever had. He razor cuts my hair, straight razors the neck line, hot towel after the shampoo and it’s definitely worth the extra cash it costs to get your hair cut by this cat. The conversation is also five star for those that are interested.

Work on client customer service, tell her to update her website, or practice what she preaches. i typically get great customer service, as it should be.:) personally i wont be going back there. but for future clients, lets be courteous… we are what can make a buisness.

Owner NOT polite, extremely unprofessional and not sympathetic when I was deleted from there system after confirmation sent and confirmed. I took off work to go to the salon. Owner just pointed fingers, blame and hung up on me. I will NEVER GO BACK/​, refer or use this Salon! DO NOT USE THE WAXING SERVICE either — just the same lack of professionalism. Very dissatisfied to say the least.

Adrienne is the best — I would recommend her to every woman! She has brought me from a beautiful blonde to a toned down brunette, and even just accenting highlights. It amazes me every time however simple, or complex, I want, she makes it better than I even wanted. Her understanding of how to make your hair beautiful and HEALTHY is tremendous. Make sure to book with her, you won’t be disappointed.

David H. is great. He provides an excellent service for men that is unmatched. He is thoughtful, attentive and takes his time. I never feel rushed and I always feel listened to. The people at Henry’s are polite and professional and the salon provides private off-​street parking. I would highly recommend David to any guy wanting a better haircut and a better experience.
PS. Reasonably priced too!

I saw Michele here for a manicure. Normally, polish only stays on my nails for a day or two. With Michele’s manicure it’s been days and there aren’t any chips. I’m very impressed! Michele is also so sweet and personable. I would recommend her to anyone :).

I was looking for a hairdresser since I’m new to the area. Nikki was amazing!!! She was nice, personable, and professional. She even gave me a little lesson on how to curl my hair at home. Very cool chic!!! I’ll definitely be back!

I’m not really a salon person. I prefer more of an old school shop that does a damn good job. Most salons are geared towards women, obviously, and most men feel a bit uncomfortable in your standard run of the mill salon. Henry’s manages to bridge that gap. The place is bright, inviting, not to feminine nor too masculine, the right balance for both
I see David. He cuts hair with surgical precision using both scissors and a straight razor. Not Wahl clippers but an actual straight razor. If your curious — go to Esquire and read about it. Basically people that have that talent are pretty bad ass in their craft. If David is not available see Ashley — she too has some mad skills and I followed both of the from Al’s in Larimer to their new home at Henry’s.
The place has a good vibe to it. People that work there are friendly and seem to be genuinely happy being there
Check the place out — it’s worth a visit

Mia is an incredible stylist! I have a very short pixie cut that I loooove thanks to Mia. What she does with the color and precision of my hair is incredible. It’s difficult to find a stylist who can cut short hair on a woman – trust me, I’ve been lots of places – but Mia at Henry’s is the BEST. Truly.
The salon itself is beautiful and inviting and having free parking in the lot next door is a definite plus for the neighborhood.

I feel badly for the people who have gone to stylists here and haven’t been satisfied. It IS tough to find a stylist that does what you want and makes you look — and more importantly FEEL — beautiful and fabulous! I’ve been on that side of the fence. I wasn’t happy with what was done to my hair or with the person who cut my hair. So much so that I didn’t have more than just the ends of my hair cut for almost two years! That was when I found JORGE.
Jorge has been my stylist for more than five years now and I won’t go to anyone else! He gives me a great cut that works WITH my hair (I have a LOT of hair that is fine and thin, with some natural wave and a few cowlicks). He doesn’t try to sell me on the latest trendy cut, instead giving me a good cut for my needs. When I’ve asked him what he thinks of certain styles, he is honest with me on whether he thinks they’ll work not only with my features, but more so with my hair!
Jorge listens to my requests though, and will accommodate them as long as it’s going to make me look good. An example: he gave me long bangs that help shape my face when I was trying to get him to give me shorter ones because it’s what everyone was doing. (He showed me that shorter ones would have made my face look wider.) He is honest with me, and I appreciate it and trust him because of it. He’s also got a great sense of humor and is just fun to talk with. If you’re not feeling like talking — he’ll respect that too.
I love my hair and the cuts he gives me, but think my cut is pretty simple. I’ve seen some of the styles he’s done as they’re leaving the chair before me though. Amazing! From short, cute, fun cuts, to women with a LOT of hair and curl! He’s from Puerto Rico and has worked with hair models form all over — so has experience cutting and working with a lot of different types of hair. He teaches at one of the local cosmetology schools, so his hours are somewhat limited, but he’ll try to work with your schedule if you need and he’s able.
As for the salon… I consider it more of an upscale salon. It’s close and convenient to downtown as well as fun restaurants and bars, but has parking for it’s clients — very nice to not have to compete for a space. It’s clean, well lit, comfortable, with fun, upbeat music that’s not too loud. They have smocks you can put on so you don’t end up with hair (or possibly color) on your favorite top. Everyone is friendly and helpful, and if you like, you can enjoy a glass of wine while you’re there (age appropriate). I like it the best of any of the places I’ve gone before.

It’s a shame Henry’s only has 3.5 stars.
Unfortunately it’s mostly about bad hairdressers.
Andre is who I see and have followed for a few years now. THE ONLY person I will see, ever again. I can’t go on about how incredible he is, Denver is lucky to have him. Someone to his caliber should be in a much larger city (and charge a lot more). He’s pretty «edgy» on my hair but I’ve seen him do some stunningly gorgeous hair. I get complimented almost daily and people think I’m about 10 years younger!
Go to Andre!

It’s always a challenge to find a great men’s haircut when moving to a new town. When I moved to Denver two years ago, I got really lucky when I found David Holmes.
He cuts hair like with a razor technique that’s incredibly precise. The cut always grows into place nicely. I don’t think there are too many stylists that can perform the razor technique like David. Way better than any scissor cut I’ve ever had.

I just recently started coming to see Anthony at Henry’s Salon, this is my first real salon experience and I really love it! He is great, I just sit in the chair and tell him «do what you think I should have» and he does! I have tried that at my other hair cutting places and they just trim what I already had. Anthony told me my hair was too long for my face and he cut quite a bit off, I have gotten so many compliments on it and my husband loves it so much that he doesn’t mind the cost of the cut.
The wash that you get here is incredible, you will have chills and your whole body will tingle from the amazing-​ness of it. I swear, the price is worth the head massage alone!
If you are looking for a new, fresh ‘do, just come in and see Anthony and give him free reign to do what he thinks you should have and I think you’ll love it. Don’t be scared, just do it!
