Salon Sabiha

I’ve been going to salon Sabiha since 2007 off and on, they are my favorite salon in Boulder. I always get an amazing stylish cut from them and hey make me feel at home with their pleasant hospitality. Recently I had the masters cut from the owner and he did an amazing job making my shaggy dew into a sleek and sexy cut that accented my femininity. This is the difference between and junior stylist and a master stylist. He made me look and feel beautiful, I love representing his art on my head!

This salon is the best! Small and cozy with warm and welcoming staff. Sierra is very talented and lovely to talk to. I just moved away from Boulder and I am struggling to find a salon as good as Salon Sabiha.

I live close by to Sabiha so I figured I would give it a shot since I am new to the area and I needed a haircut. The two owners are awesome and super friendly. I have been here twice and Holly cut my hair both times and I could not be happier. They treat me like I have been coming here for years, Holly does a great job, and everyone that works here treats you like family. The price is fair and service is awesome! Definitely worth checking out if you want a cut.
Oh, and all of the girls are super cute that work here so its a total plus ;)

So awesome! Not only do I get the special treatment — like a Concept salon is suppose to do — but Jerry is great at what he does. Another concept salon cut my hair horribly and Jerry fixed it and fixed my color. Parking is a dream! The whole staff is charming. A++++

I have used Kelly at Salon Sabiha for the last 10 years and believe she is the best! She takes time to make sure everything is right. Go there and prepare to be pampered.

The salon is beautiful, and the style I left with looked absolutely fantastic for that afternoon, but it was a disaster the next day. I wear a simple one-​length long haircut with bangs, and I wound up with pieces of hair at different random lengths, bangs that came in WAAAAYYYY too far from my forehead, and an overall length that was about an inch longer than I really wanted. And to top it all off, they kept me for roughly an hour and 45 minutes for a simple shampoo and cut in addition to charging me $ 75 for this fiasco of a haircut. I was not impressed with my stylist, and she’s co-​owner of the salon. Yikes. And never again!

I would trust either of the owners, Jerry or Kelly to cut my hair any day of the week.

I hate to do this, but… Salon Sabiha has had some major staffing issues that have unfortunately severely effected their service recently. My friend and I went in to get her hair chopped off and a demi-​gloss hair color and it literally took 3 hours which meant we lost our dinner reservations (which they knew about when we got there). The majority of our time at the salon was spent waiting and even though they offered us tea, they never brought it.
Beyond their service, the three times I have had my hair cut here by Jerry have not been good. I could forgive having to wait for a long time if the end result is great. However, I have to say that even when I asked for something fun and different, I received the same blah haircut (long in the front and shorter in the back). I even requested layers in the front one time and still received an under-​cut in the back look. The only reason I kept coming back was because I really liked the stylists personalities, Aveda products, and the general vibe of the salon. That said I am ashamed that I have spent hundreds of dollars here on the same boring haircut.

I was going to the master stylist and everything seemed fine until I got something more than a basic trim. It was the first time in my life I absolutely hated a haircut and when I went to someone else to try to fix she was appalled to find a chunk of hair in the back cut a lot shorter than the rest! It was also uneven and weird (not in a fun funky way). Plus they seem to have some serious issues with their staff. The only reason I didn’t give it 1 star is that I’ve seen the woman that co-​owns the salon give some great cuts.

When you find a good stylist, it’s important to stick with them — I see Mallory Hansen at Salon Sabiha. She’s been good to me for the variety of things I do with my hair, including angle bobs, highlights, upsweeps, blazes, full-​dyes, and insanely vertical hipster hair (my latest style). 5 stars for Mallory.
However, I would not give the salon itself 5 stars, so I have to compromise. The many stylists there are friendly and look like they do good work with other people’s hair. My one, very significant critique is about their head stylist or master stylist. It’s a personal critique, so I’ll skip the details, although it involves very poor customer service and rudeness on his part.
