Salon Kensington

Marissa, the owner, is terrific: a great cutter and a great person. She cut my hair better than anyone has in YEARS! I cannot recommend her enough.

Toan is a freaking wizard! It is truly an art how he transforms your hair. This is hands down the best cut and color I’ve ever had. Geez… I look smoking hot!!!

I was referred by a family member to see Toan. I was a little hesitant at first, but after the amazing job he did, I am more than sure I will be returning. I have been been highlighting my hair for over 14 years and my hair has never felt so great! It no longer dramatically tangles in the shower or falls out during a blow dry and style like it used to after bleaching it. The color looks great and I am just overall satisfied with the service and the outcome. :)

Celeste understood exactly what I wanted and what I was avoiding. My hair turned out just what I wanted!

Toan has been coloring and cutting my hair for several years now and I’ve never been disappointed. My friend referred me to him and I won’t let anyone else touch my hair. When I am up for a change, I let him do his magic and I’ve always been happy with the results.

Toan is awesome at Salon K. He does a great consult and after showing him one picture towards the look I want, he executed the style with no issues. He’s a really nice guy and we had good conversation. Note to the owner: It’s time to renovate the Salon with a fresh coat of paint. The color palate on the walls is so early 2000 and the paint is very dirty and dark.

Been coming to this Salon for years. My stylist Marissa have done Brazilian blow out. Color highlights and low lights. My first blow out was so impressive that I kept coming back since. My hair used to be so poofy and now it’s smooth and straight and manageable My friends have always complemented me on my hair and gave me more confidence. One thing people need to understand is that blowout is not going to make the hair stick straight. It makes hair softer smoother manageable and no frizz. The procedure lasts 6 – 8 months and mine is always done with my color and highlights. It’s very friendly atmosphere at the salon I now even have another loyal customer that I met who comes every 4 weeks with her gorgeous kids and we enjoy the couple of hours having our hair done. The Salon is always clean

I visited Salon Kensington and the girls really took care of me! The gal who washed my hair was super kind and gave me a relaxing massage on my head while shampooing it. Then Marissa was excellent in listening to my needs and colored my hair perfectly (the way I like) and also trimmed my hair and wouldn’t let me leave till I looked FABULOUS for my trip to Vegas to visit my daughter. My hair looked so good I didn’t want to wash it so soon to ruin it. It was silky soft with long layers. THANKS FOR MAKING ME LOOK SO HOT girls! I will definitely return!

DO NOT GET A BRAZILIAN BLOWOUT HERE. Like others have said, THEY DO NOT DO IT RIGHT and honestly I wonder if they even use the official brazilian blowout product (I mysteriously never saw the product bottle used). This was my third time getting a brazilian blowout… I know what they’re like and I know what they’re supposed to do and feel like. I know what the crème smells like, the process, etc… The lady was cheap, didn’t put barely any of the product in my hair, was rough with my hair (so much so it probably damaged it even more), and my hair is literally LESS SMOOTH than before the treatment and much more frizzy. I could not be more dissapointed. I am so upset I never spoke up during the treatment. Whatever their ‘brazilian blowout’ is, it’s a complete scam. Do yourself a favor and save your money, get a real brazilian blowout. I have to get a new one somewhere else myself now.

I just moved to the neighborhood and was hoping to find a great stylist. I wound up leaving messages at a couple of the local places. Only Salon Kensington called back. That was my good luck though. I was able to see Marissa, the owner, the next day. The salon is very pleasant, Marissa was delightful, and, most importantly, my haircut was perfect.

I came here a couple months ago for a Groupon for the Brazilian Blowout. When I bought it last year I swear the reviews were great, but when I rechecked right before my appointment I began to get worried.
When I first made my appointment, I simply asked if they had any openings on Saturdays. The lady on the phone scoffed and said, «Heh… we are always booked.» So it was a surprise when I got to my appointment on a Friday and found only two people working… meaning two people in the salon, only one of them with a client. First off, they had called me to see if I could move up my appointment. I did it to accommodate them but had to move my own schedule around. I got there on time, only to start late anyway. I felt my appointment was rushed. It wasn’t the same professionalism I’m used to and honestly, I’ve had it better at a Supercuts! It was the worst way anyone has ever shampooed my hair, it was so sloppy. I mean, the wet strands of my hair were hitting my eyes! I’ve had a Brazilian Blowout in the past and this time my hair wasn’t as smooth. It turned out okay, not as good as the first time. When I left, I just kept telling myself, «It was a Groupon deal.»
I also need to add… the Brazilian Blowout did not last. My first BB lasted 3 months.

I went to Salon Kensington with a Groupon for a Brazilian Blowout. I had to call 3 times before anyone would return my call. When I finally got an appointment I was treated very brusquely by the staff, who seemed to have no interest in me at all. I was more or less ignored the entire time I was there. I was given no instructions on how to care for my treated hair, and it’s a good thing I looked it up online.
The worst part is that the treatment, which is supposed to make hair significantly straighter and more manageable had no noticeable impact. $ 100 plus tip and there was NO difference in my hair. I’m not at all impressed and I will not be going back.

Called at incredibly early time and left a message that was returned promptly saying that they would have a hair dresser come in and help me out. So stoked. Vinney (sp?)came in chipper and super charming. He hooked my hair up in that quick and efficient way that only experience will allow. My hair looks great, the parking lot was easy, the price was good (65), and the company was great. I still am in shock that Vinny ran over to help me out. Love, love, love my cut! Will be back, for sure.

I am the first to give this salon a bad rating, I normally dont and i feel bad. Honestly, I am rating MY own experience which does not include a salon-​service but only 1^st contact with the salon and customer service.
I called to inquire about feather hair extensions and the receptionist did not seem to know what i was talking about but told me she would have a guy call me who knows all about extensions.
About 20minutes later i received a call from a man who said he doesnt work at that salon fulltime but has to contact another place for supplies and check inventory, I asked about cost and he quoted me 35 – 40 dollars per strand and said he will call me back. I waited…
Never heard from them, waited and did not get a call. Disappointing and sadly, they are one block away from my house and i wish i had gotten better service, i walked two more blocks and went to Diesel. Sorry Salon Kensington: (

Megan Tew is a fantastic stylist! My mom and I recently had a cut with her, and we’re both super pleased with the results! I’m one of those annoying picky sort of people, so I went to my friend Kari S. for a referral since she has the same sort of Type-​A standard and always perfectly coiffed hair. Seriously, not only can Megan make your hair look terrific (and has this special sort of magical talent for cutting bangs — no joke), but she is sweet, fun to chat with, and totally relaxed. The perfect combo :)

I have over the year been to many Salons and stylist and 4 years ago i lucked into the best i have ever had cut my hair. I had the owner of the Salon who is usually too busy to take on new clients,(she is that good) and for some reason she took me in and i have not gone to another stylist since. Every time i get a haircut i cant tell you how many people ask me who my stylist is. Her name is Marissa and i can promise you if you get the chance you will not regret it.

Sarah has been cutting my hair for over a year now and she’s awesome! She’s great at what she does, she’s super sweet, and she always makes my hair look and feel good. She really listens to my requests which not all stylists do. Go see Sarah!

Megan is the greatest. All the girls working there are just fun to be around.

My hairstylist Megan (who is the best stylist in the whole entire world!!) moved from Diesel salon recently to Salon Kengsington. I had my first appointment yesterday with her at the new Salon. It is much more laid back than Diesel which is a very nice change! No pressure or rudeness here! And I love that their water pressure and temperature is regulated so I don’t get freezing water while my hair is being washed (Diesel seriously needs to fix that problem!) I think she made a great move coming to this salon!

Just went in to get my hair did last week and I saw Diana the esthetician for my very first ever eyebrow wax! She was very cool and helped me with a plan to get my eyebrows back to a more «natural» state (years of over-​plucking have left them sparse). I’m seeing her again in 2 weeks and I’m under strict orders to not touch my eyebrows until then! Diana was very cool, check the salon out!
