Salon Rock Paper Scissors

I am new in the area and read the reviews here before I booked. Nice shop, very efficient staff, and the cuts and color of the other clients looked great. I had Desiree color my hair, after a conversation about my hair texture and color. I specifically said that my hair grabbed color and that I usually asked that the color be left on for much less time, or less density on the color level. Exactly what I did NOT want to happen is exactly what did… my hair is almost black. I was not happy, and called the salon the next morning to ask Desiree to call me back to see if anything can be done to lighten it. No return call. I am sad this happened, as I thought I had found a new shop to go to. But even more, I am going to a wedding/​family reunion in NYC tomorrow looking like a middle-​aged lady with dyed-​black hair.

Katie totally rocked my socks! I decided to get an undercut and she completely nailed it! I couldn’t be happier. This salon is awesome; everyone seems very nice but not that overly fake nice nonsense. If you want a rockin’ cut check this place out. I’m going back for sweet hair dye bliss in a week and I can’t wait.

I highly recommend this salon! Everyone was super friendly, kind and welcoming. My stylist was Katie– she did an amazing job. Since having a terrible experience at another salon, I’ve been very nervous when it comes to cutting my hair. Katie made me completely comfortable, I’ve never been happier with a hair cut!

Amazing Salon with Amazing Stylists and staff!
Finally decided to go outside the box and do TEAL!
Judy did a fantastic job I would never trust anyone but her and this Salon with my hair!!!

For the people who are distressed even thinking about trimming your long hair like me —
I have seen Desiree 2 times in the past year. Twice! I used to get my hair cut maybe once every 3 years, that’s how much I dread ridding the dead ends. A comfortable length for me for hair is ¾ down my back. I don’t like short hair on myself, even though I have a quarter shaved head. Family referred me to Salon Rock Paper Scissors and I fell in love. Unlike past experience with different hair salons, Des actually listened to what I wanted. I didn’t want more than a couple inches off MAX. I have extremely thick hair, even with a quarter of it gone. She suggested cutting my layers short, up to my shoulders short, but leaving underneath long so it gives the illusion that my hair is still long, but the dead ends are gone. I trust her so much that for once, I listened to coming back a couple times a year and that’s a big step for somebody who doesn’t enjoy getting their hair trimmed.
I am in awe every time I go there. Plus if you’re a student you get a discount. A few days ago, I paid $ 23 for a cut, shampoo/​conditioner AND blow dry. 23 dollars!!! On your first visit you get a little doggie bag filled with goodies as well. I recommend this place/​Desiree 100%.
Fun fact — I moved across the country and when I come back, I make a point to go to her. Nobody else, not even on the west coast! That says something.

I love this place! I don’t trust a lot of people with my hair but this place will actually listen to exactly what you say you want without being pushy of any styles or products. They are very knowledgeable and do an amazingly realistic job when dying your hair and will give their Jo eat opinion about it if you need it.

RPS is a great salon. I followed Camille from a prior salon, to her house to this cool funky salon. Camille is an expert at color and cuts. My hair can be difficult to work with and she always makes me feel like a better version of myself when I leave. The team works really well together and seems to have a lot of fun while working. If you are tired of your uptight salon, this is the place for you. Highly recommend coloring, up dos highlights and keratin treatments. I even had Camille do my hair for my wedding.

Salon Rock Paper Scissors is a refreshing atmosphere in a world of boring chain salons. Not your normal every day décor. Bright and upbeat, with funky décor and excellent choice in music. Staff is absolutely fantastic and listens to every concern, and adds input when needed. Fantastic product knowledge, and plenty of choices of available product if you choose to buy.
Overall very pleased with my services and will definitely be returning.

This place is great! Awesome vibe. They work with you to get the exact look you want. Everyone is upbeat and personable. Also, it’s a small business working in your community!
I was bored with my experience at the national chains, and this was just the place I needed!
Would recommend this place to anyone!

I am definitely coming back here! Great service and Desire did an amazing job. Took her time and talked out each step. Atmosphere was chill which I liked.

I’ve been here twice so far and could not be happier with the results each time!
First time I went it was just for a wash and blow style– my hair came out incredible! The woman who did my hair was extremely nice and a great conversationalist– I feel terrible for not being able to remember her name…
The second time I went was for a root-​touchup (my hair is naturally brown, but I had it dyed almost a strawberry blonde), and Katie, my stylist, suggested trying a rich auburn color which I agreed too. It came out so gorgeous, and I received a lot compliments on it!
The salon itself is fun with a lot of attitude– everyone seemed to get along really well and there was lots of laughing!
All in all, I could not recommend this place enough.

This place is amazing. They give you a lot of personal attention. Camille is my stylist and does amazing color. Enjoy a glass of vino or hot cup of coffee while getting your head rubbed for an excessive amount of time: yes please! Go. Staff is great and the place is just fun!

The first time I went in was to buy some Paul Mitchell shampoo and loved the atmosphere! I cancelled my appointment at my old salon in Hainesport, which was getting insanely expensive, and switched without losing quality. I’ve come here twice now for haircut and girly ombré color. Warning: Don’t let the curb appeal turn you away, these girls are great!

In the thirty five years of my life prior to using this shop I only ever used two professional stylists. One was my auntie, who in the mid 80s gave me a perm that made me look like I just waltzed out of the steno pool; the other was a woman I graduated from high school with, who gave me a nice haircut sometime in the early 2000s.
Most of my cuts were done by the faceless, anonymous denizens of a Hair Cuttery or Super Cuts. I know, right?
Fast forward, and I’m 35 years old, with long, straight hair that is remarkable only for the fact that it is red. I’m desperate to make a change and I’ve decided that for the first time since I was seven or eight years old, I want short hair.
And I mean short. Like Rachel Maddow short. Jamie Lee Curtis short. SHORT. Which means bangs and layers, two things I have steered well clear of since my senior year in high school.
I knew I couldn’t trust just any old place to this momentous undertaking. No. This required a real salon. A SALON, if you will. An Internet search lead me to Salon Rock Paper Scissors. It looked fun and the techs had experience (and short hair). I took a breath and took a chance.
Armed with a few pictures, I went to my appointment. «I have a cowlick here you see?» I said. I was nervous, because every time I’ve had bangs, that darn cowlick threw everything off. Camille was cool about it. She told me not to worry, that we’d take it slow so she could see what my hair was going to do once she started cutting. (an aside: I’m pretty sure Camille is a superhero) I didn’t want to spend too long «doing» my hair. Camille assured me that was no problem.
I was completely out of my comfort zone and she just made everything okay. Which, when you think about it, is exactly how you want to feel when someone is standing over your head with a pair of shears or a razor.
Needless to say, my hair turned out great. I’ve been back a number of times in the year+ since my my first cut and I am always satisfied. I’m usually ecstatic. I know I can go super short and it will always look awesome. I spend at most, five minutes on my hair and can approximate what Camille does when she styles it.
I used a different tech once, and she was good too. I will probably stick with Camille because she knows my hair (and suffers my awkward small talk with grace and good humor), but Jacky (Jackie?) was a pleasure too.
It can be difficult to get a slot if you are like me and wait until your hair is planning to overthrow the rest of your head before making an appointment. Plan accordingly.
Good mix of music on the overhead is always a plus too.

I want to give Rock Paper Scissors 5 stars because Camille gave me a wonderful haircut and really listened to what I wanted. She took her time and really hit the nail on the head! They offer you something to drink and the atmosphere is comfortable and welcoming.
They received three stars because I had to wait 45 minutes PAST my appointment time for Camille to finish with a customer AND I was 10 minutes early to my appointment per their request on their website for first-​time customers. Camille did apologize for making me wait, but not until 20 minutes past the appointment time.
This is probably a rare occurrence for the salon and I can respect that Camille did not want to compromise the quality of her other customer’s hair cut, but it is still unprofessional to make a client wait for almost an hour.

Great place! First time today… got a stylist who gave me what I wanted and made it better! I will be back and will recommend to all my friends!
Thanks Jackie!

My best friend got my daughter a gift certificate to this salon for her birthday. I live on the next street over and never even knew it existed. The staff was so amazing and the atmosphere is so unique. I will go back for sure! Desire did a great job on my daughter’s hair with blue and purple extensions. A+++ in my opinion.

This salon is top notch in every way! Five stars does not even do it justice. My family gets their hair cut and colored here regularly but I live in Philadelphia so today was my first appointment. Let me just say, this salon is worth the trip over the bridge!
I had my hair done and false eyelashes put on for my wedding at RPS on Sunday and it was a dream! My maid of honor also had her hair styled. Everything was above and beyond. One of the owners, Judy, even opened for us on a Sunday! Omigosh, I could not have been happier with the results. The price was unbelievably fair and our hair and lashes looked divine all day and night! Judy and Hilary rock!

After a hideous haircut in Medford, I checked out this place on a recommendation from a friend. I had a good feeling based on the friendliness of the girl who made my appointment, but you never know, right? I should say up-​front that I’m pretty picky about my hair and my salon. .. since coming here from Dallas, I’ve been to a lot of salons. Some really snooty that made me feel like a number, some prissy, some down-​to-​earth but with questionable skills. After I got my cut, I felt like Goldilocks. .. this place is just right. Kinda hip and edgy, but not pretentious at all. One of the owners, Camille, did my hair. She spent a lot of time talking to me about what I wanted, didn’t want, even what she was doing as she was doing it. I walked out with a great cut at a great price ($ 43), as well as some helpful recommendations on how to do my hair. If you’re looking for cookie-​cutter or «soccer mom,» this is probably not your place. But if you dig a place with some personality and a do that says «you,» I would give them a shout.
