Parlour 3

Sarah Beth was on point with my cut and color today! I had never had my hair colored before, and I was so nervous! She listened to what I wanted, and it came out perfectly! It looks natural, and that’s exactly what I asked for. The salon staff was not the most friendly and welcoming, but Sarah Beth and her assistant were both lovely to work with! Go see her! :)

I found Sarah on Instagram and fell in love with her work! Every photo I was screen capping was somehow her work, so of course, I decided to contact her and make an appointment! SHE IS AMAZING! Go to her; you won’t regret it! My hair had tons of different random sections of color (from the past) but she made sure to take note of everything so that everything turned out great, and– even! Every step of the way, she made sure I knew what was going on and what her next step was. I felt like she had a pretty vast knowledge of hair– which is saying something coming from me. I’ve dedicated more time that most professionals to learning about hair– but she still knew more and had great tips ready for me. I felt like she understood my vision and the steps it would take to get there! The color is WONDERFUL! It looks like something straight off of Insta or Pinterest that is mostly a pipe dream– but it isn’t! Its actually real! Thank you again, Sarah!

This is one of the best salons in Nashville! Sarah Beth is the first person here who has listened to the style I wanted and gave me that exact cut. She is talented and friendly — I’m so glad I found her and Parlour 3!

Bummed about this one. I was here quite a few months ago requesting a balayage look. Spent around $ 175… And I couldn’t see it. Now I totally understand that sometimes clients’ hair doesn’t come out as planned, but when you’re paying that much, you want to actually be able to see the color/​highlights. The $ 175 didn’t even include a cut. I mentioned this to the stylist (who was very nice, btw) and she told me to come outside in the light, and maybe we could see it better. That didn’t work. She even took a picture on her phone and it looked no different. She didn’t blow out my hair, but rather rough dried it and I left the salon looking a little worse than when I came in.
The worst part was that I called the next day to ask if I could come in and get it fixed/​have someone look at it because I just couldn’t see that anything was done. The front desk said they’d have a manager call me back. Never got a call, also never going back.

What’s the easiest way to say this — go here and they’ll rip you off! The long story — called to ask the price for color. Told them I didn’t want a cut (really like the way my hair is) so just color. During the session the girl took a couple minutes (literally, 2 minutes) to snip a little, but this was after another discussion about how I didn’t want my hair cut. The bill came and there were 2 charges, totaling well over $ 100, that I didn’t ask for and, in fact, had specifically said I didn’t want. (They charged for a full cut and some additive they supposedly put in my hair. Who knows whether or not they really did.) They don’t care. Manager is totally non responsive. All they can suggest is that they give a $ 50 store credit for the next time I visit. Really?!? The next time I visit? The fact that they would even think that after being told how unhappy I was is further evidence of how they don’t care. Oh, and the color, not what I wanted.

Absolutely love Meri– absolutely love how she does my make up! Definitely feel gorgeous when i leave!

I highly recommend Morgan if you’re looking for a colorist! I had waist long dark brunette hair and always wanted to try out being a blonde! She made it happen with beautiful highlights and lowlights and I get stopped on the street all the time by people complimenting my hair! She always works with me to line up our schedules and its a great atmosphere there. I look forward to having my hair done :)

We’re new to town and I was referred to Parlour 3 by the wife of one of my husband’s friends who lives in the area. She recommended Marissa and I’m glad she did because Marissa was very kind and very talented! She also went the extra mile of showing me a new way to curl my hair for better hold, which I really appreciated.
Also, it’s a beautiful place in a convenient location and the staff were all very warm and helpful.

Updated review as my fat fingers hit the wrong stars and I just love the salon and all the people there. I’m there a few times a month so I guess I really do love parlour 3.

We showed up and my boyfriend and I sat down and waited for a good 45 minutes before being seen… then finally with his very long curly hair still wet from the shampoo, he was seated in the stylist’s chair and shown a picture of another haircut John had given some famous country singer client (with straight hair) and my guy said «yeah that’s cool man» conversationally, just being polite. Then BAM, next thing John had whacked 8 inches off the back!!! I said «Whoah man, we just said a trim about five seconds ago!». John then started in on me saying «I can’t do my job if you’re sitting there judging me. You wouldn’t understand. I’m an ARTIST, and you’re throwing me off. I can’t practice my art with you vibing me out». (Just a little tidbit, I went to college for art, majored in art history and work freelance illustrating children’s books, amongst other things, like wardrobe on films and TV shows, dog grooming, home care nursing… I’ve done a lot, and his attitude was probably the worst I’ve ever encountered in all of them) when we finally walked out of there I was in tears and my boyfriend’s hair was a foot shorter when all we’d come in for was a trim and some shape. He hijacked the haircut and was so nasty and derisive to me that I was literally sobbing silently as he hacked off a foot of sopping wet curls (everybody knows you don’t cut curls wet, I mean, come on!) and he did it because one of his «famous clients» had sent us in for a trim when she told us «don’t do anything you feel uncomfortable with» and apparently suggested something like the photo… It all happened so fast. He was in the chair for less than a minute and had not agreed to anything before John started to cut; abrasively proclaiming «honey, he knows this is just the way the business works, let us both just do our jobs.» NEVER go here unless you want to look like Florida Georgia Line, and be shamed for daring to have an opinion on how you’d like your hair to look (or a degree in art history?) I would give negative stars if I could. this guy claims to be a «celebrity hairstylist» on his website… I’ve worked in the industry for 10 years from London to NYC to LA, Atlanta, New Orleans, Montana, you name it… and i never ONCE heard of John Grimes ’till this nasty little incident. If you have the misfortune to get him as your stylist either turn and run or grab something sharp unless you actually enjoy growing out your hair for three years after a run in with his «artistic license».

This is my first time EVER writing a review but I had to. As far as I’m concerned, 2 strikes and your out. I’m not given you a third. I went for a haircut there and wasn’t overly impressed with the cut but I thought the overall atmosphere was nice so decided to give them another try using a higher skilled hairstylist. Upon my arrival, i described the cut I wanted and even showed him 2 pictures of the cut. He proceeded to tell me that he couldn’t do that kind of a cut (which I appreciate because I don’t want you to cut my hair if you can’t do an asymmetrical bob, I appreciate your honesty… but aren’t you a master stylist charging $ 100?) I then ask who can in the salon and what kind of cuts is he good at. He tells me that he is really a colorist and cuts his clients hair that he colors. And, that it is Saturday and no one really wants to work so there’s no one that can do it. I say well that stinks I was looking forward to a good haircut. So, I leave the salon and NO ONE says anything to me. After, I’m in my car they call and say well we can fit you in in 45 minutes. if you want with someone else… at this point no, thanks I’ll take my business elsewhere. Would expect a much better experience from a salon of this caliber.

I love Parlour 3! After getting extensions at a salon in Murfreesboro by someone who apparently had no idea what they were doing, I made an appointment at Parlour 3 to have some of the extensions removed, as they began balling up near my scalp. Charity was amazing and removed the ones that needed to be and left the others in (they all still look fine and you cannot tell that some are missing). She took time to comb out the matted hair and made it look fabulous again. I will most definitely be back for all of my salon needs. Can’t beat this salon and it’s equally as gorgeous inside!

I discovered Parlour 3 a year and a half ago … So glad I did! I go twice a week for a blow out with Charity, and in between for my color. I wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else-it’s like my second home! Not only is the quality of service exceptional; hair, make up, spray tans, which are the best I’ve ever had, the people are so friendly and fun…:) I’ve also had the opportunity to have my blow outs by Morgan, Jennifer Barnes and Jen B and been very pleased. I truly love this place and the people in it!!!

There are pros and cons to this salon.
PROS — This is a very nicely decorated salon and you feel comfortable when you walk in. Charity is a good stylist and has done my hair for the past year but if I have an afternoon appointment, I can see how she is rushing to get the appt. done and get out of the salon to go home. I feel the price is a bit steep for a haircut but, except for the last time I went to her, my hair has come out very good so I have stayed with her.
CONS — Yes, people know about this salon due to its advertisements in The Tennessean and Country Weekly as THE salon for Nashville artists, such as Carrie Underwood, Rascal Flatts and Lauren Alaina, among others but I’m sure they rarely go in; with their money and «status» I’m sure they will cater housecalls to them. Melissa is the owner and has been Carrie’s hair/​makeup artist for years. Well, I guess since I’m not Carrie she doesn’t give a crap who I am because she has got to be one of the non-​friendly person I’ve come across; not a salon owner who appreciates you as a customer. Being from Los Angeles, I’ve been to MANY salons where some of the biggest people in Hollywood go to get their beauty treatments and the owner will still cater to the same as someone with an Oscar. They don’t care if you make $ 50k a year or $ 10million a year. Melissa puts her nose up to people that aren’t artists. Well honey, my money is part of YOUR salary and keeping your salon open so be gracious! Everytime I’ve seen her in the salon, she has made eye contact with me, I’ve smiled and I have yet to get a smile back from her! Yeah, real nice way to welcome your customers. Nashville is a small town where people know people and even though you have a salon that is in magazines, a bad attitude always will hurt a business and can be closed down easily. Also, when you have an appt and there are cancellations, they will consistently call and call you to see if you are interested in coming in earlier or if you can come in later. You work with MY schedule, not the other way around. I make appts at a certain time because I have things to do. To call the day before an appt to see if I can come in 5 hours earlier is crazy. Do you think I do nothing but sit around waiting to get my hair done?! NO! I plan other things for the morning before my appt and won’t go changing it to accommodate the salon. They have a text club to confirm your appt the week of, which I apply back to confirm it, but then they STILL call me 2 days before to confirm it. So why bother texting a confirmation if you still are going to call me? Annoying!

Haircut was 2 stars for the price of a 5 star location. Atmosphere and awesome shampoo almost pull this up to 3 star. When I made my appt they said there are «no junior stylists here, everyone is good». But I have visible lines cut into the side of my head (choppy and not faded), back looks like it wasn’t cut at all, and the top is a poor length and can’t be styled well. I can handle paying 45 for a men’s haircut but I expect it to be better then supercuts.

Upon arriving I entered upstairs, the girls brought me down to the salon, told me to take a seat and would let them know I was here. After waiting 10 minutes I asked the girl at the front desk if they knew I was here for my appointment and was informed they did not know. So first off no one told them.
Second, my appointment was at 4:15pm, I wasn’t called back till 5:05pm. I waited 50 minutes! This is unheard of! I was expecting quality service given the reviews and quality of the salon.
Third, who they paired me with to do my hair was so upsetting. Didn’t talk much, found other things and people to talk to and cater to (hello I already waited 50 minutes for u not wanting to wait any longer). He acted as if he could care less if he earned me as a new client. I have never in all my years of hair stylist felt more uncomfortable and unwanted in a salon!
Oh, to top it all off… it was $ 100 for a root touch up only. Didn’t cut it, just colored my roots. So after waiting almost a hour, I pay even more then what I was told on the phone. Nice!
I can honestly say that I will not return and I will not recommend.

Steven did an incredible job on my color! He specializes in color and knew how to handle my grey strands and work around them and blend it all together perfectly. He is very knowledgeable and took the time to explain what he was doing. The salon is so beautifully decorated and tasteful. I was truly impressed with my first visit to the salon.

I’m new to Nashville and I was very nervous about moving from Chicago and finding a hair colorist and stylist. I love Parlour 3 and I have had just about every service done — color, cut, make-​up and lash application, special occasion blow out, nails, waxing (brow and brazilian), and spray tan. All have been great experiences, and professional ladies. I have become a regular (and fan!) of Korie for my hair and I think she is as cute as they come. Pleasure to chat with and knows her stuff. She is also very into making sure you love what she’s done before you leave and also very willing to help her clients into her tight schedule. Thankful I found this place!

I followed Vallorie Barnes and Korie Bernard here. They both worked at Unruli Aveda in Franklin. I’ve been an Aveda-​phile for almost 20 years, but when they both left… it was a no brainer because these ladies are SKILLED. It took a couple runs at my color for me to get used to the new product; but I am now and I’m happy with it. Vallorie and Korie are awesome… hands down. The reason I have deducted a star is the salon in general. Now, I realize the owner is a stylist to the stars and I realize that I am NOT a star, but I drop about $ 300 every 5 weeks in her salon. I’ve been there half a dozen times now and I see her everytime. She has stood next to me, over me, in front of me and has never once said hello. It’s a little off putting. The first couple times I dismissed it… but now it leaves one with the feeling that regular folks are not valued customers here. I LOVE salon-​day typically. My previous salon involved a lot of chit chat between all the employees and all the cusotmers. Uli would greet everyone as he moved through the salon and very often commented on your hair or made some conversation. This one leaves you with the feeling of, «Let’s make sure you get out of here without getting a glimpse of the celebs». However because of the dynamic duo of Vallorie and Korie, I will continue to go here, it’s just not as relaxing and fun as other places.

Parlour 3 is just what I’ve been looking for ever since I moved to Nashville…3 years ago. :)
The top level is the make-​up /​cosmetic area, which is darling. I can’t wait to try it out! I will probably go in for a facial soon… Excited! :)
The bottom level is the hair salon, and it is stunning down there! I got my locks done by the very talented and gorgeous Vallorie, and I highly highly highly recommend her. All of the folks in there seemed to do fantastic work though. I really don’t think you can go wrong. Also, there was the cutest, sweetest receptionist. I love good service — and Parlour 3 totally nailed it.
The salon is owned by the adorable Melissa Schleicher who does hair and make up for the always lovely Carrie Underwood, among others. Melissa truly created a lovely, relaxing space, and I am so excited for my next visit in 8 short weeks! :)
