Salon Ethos

I cannot say enough a good things about Salon Ethos!
I am known for my constantly changing hair color and know the work and time that needs to be put into it. I am in the process of going blonde again (from brown, which was priviously purple & red before that) and Liz is my go-​to stylist! She cares about the integrity of your hair and does such beautiful, professional work, you can see she instills that into each stylist at Ethos.
They are a full service salon that is up to par with style and trends of any high-​end salon you’ll find in the city but with a hometown welcoming feeling. I highly recommend checking it out!

Salon ethos is the top spot for beautification! I have been going to this salon for over 3 years now and have never been disappointed with my cut, color and waxing. Scott does my hair and I am always overly impressed with how it turns out. Everyone in the salon is very friendly and makes me feel so welcome! #salonethos #bestsalonever

Great place! My stylist, Scott, was great. The lady at the desk, Ashleigh helped my girlfriend pick new makeup out. The atmosphere was professional and it was really nice in there. They treated us like we were #1 and long time clients. Will be going back.

If you can get past the totally incompetent reception desk the hair cuts are great. The reception desk screwed up what I needed done the first time and the second time (yes, I gave them a second chance) got the date wrong. I showed the 2 girls my card with the correct date and the response was, «we have a spot open next month». No Thanks… never again. My suggestion would be to try to bypass the kids at desk and make appoint with the stylist personally.

I am so very happy with the haircuts I have received at Salon Ethos! As in most salons, each haircut begins with a thorough hair washing. At Salon Ethos, however, each washing is a special treat. In addition to the wash and conditioning, I receive a relaxing head massage and quiet rinse (no noisy water spraying next to my ears) in an incredibly comfortable chair. Instead of simply giving me one of a number of standardized cuts, Liz provides a customized cut every time. She listens carefully to what has worked and hasn’t worked with my hair in the past and then assesses the texture, condition and growth patterns of my hair to get the cut I want. Products for all hair conditions are available, but there is no pressure to buy. The salon is a very professional operation with friendly, talented and skilled staff who are trained to provide exceptional service. We are so lucky to have such a fine salon in Newport. Salon Ethos is first class!

I’ve been going to Liz for at least 12 years to get my hair done. I continue to go to Liz because I absolutely love what she does with my hair. When she opened Salon Ethos, it got even better because Liz was able to see her vision come to life — the customer service, the products she can carry, the atmosphere she wanted her clients to experience, and the training she could offer her stylists. Many times I’ve gone to the Salon with laptop in tow, so I could work while my highlights processed. They make that possible by providing a table and WiFi for customers as well as bottomless coffee. Very cool.
I’m picky about my blonde highlights (I mean, who isn’t?), and she makes them look so natural and full of depth. I know that Liz makes it a priority for her and her staff to be trained on the latest trends and techniques because she frequently talks animatedly about it while she does my hair. She’s always trying to be a better stylist and it makes me feel like I’m in good hands. Her and I have tried different trends/​techniques over the years, but Liz has to come to know what is in my realm, so I never get anything too crazy — just beautiful and timeless. There have also been times when I needed a last minute appointment and I’ve gone to other stylists in the Salon and have been very pleased.
I feel like I’m their priority when I walk into Salon Ethos and I do not hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

Needing a long overdue haircut and wanting to have a nice style for the holidays, I booked an appointment as a new client at Salon Ethos. Although I never received a phone confirmation, I showed up to my scheduled appointment on time. After checking in and waiting, I was told by the receptionist that there had been an error and that they couldn’t get me in for another hour and 15 minutes. When I advised that the booking agent had told me that my time was available, the receptionist laughed it off and replied, «I don’t know why she told you that. She’s done that before.» Done that before? And that’s something to laugh at? Totally unprofessional. I had made arrangements for my children and moved around my busy schedule to make that appointment and they completely disregarded and disrespected my time. Needless to say, I did not book another appointment. If you can’t handle basic customer service, you do not deserve my business. If I can’t trust you with a schedule book, I’m not going to trust you with a pair of scissors. This was no way to treat any client, let alone a first-​time customer. I will most definitely be going elsewhere. They have lost my business for life.

On behalf of my mom: She had her hair colored at Liz’s salon last week. She’s a redhead and has been sad to see her hair fading over the years, but when she came home from her haircut a few weeks ago saying she had made an appointment for coloring, I was shocked. My mom does NOT make quick decisions; I had figured she’d think it over for a month and then put it off indefinitely.
When I saw her newly colored hair, I was so impressed. It’s a beautiful, natural shade of red with so much life to it. It’s the shade of red she’s had most of her life, before it began to fade. I knew she’d look great after Liz colored her hair, but I just didn’t expect the color to be so perfect. My mom is very happy, and hasn’t questioned her decision even once since then (and that’s unusual!).

Excellent haircut. There’s not much more to say than that — I know my hair is a challenge — I’m allergic to just about every brand of «product» out there, so stylists are pretty limited when I walk in the door.
And I inherited my Welsh ancestor’s hair — it was like a lion’s mane when I was a girl — then started getting thinner and finer at about 30 — still got my silver temples, but the rest is getting progressively more gray and is approaching transparency. And having watched my mother try dying her same hair — I know that’s out. I’m just stuck with floss — and a puzzle for even the best stylists.
Ellen, at Salon Ethos, does an admirable job — facing the challenge boldly and fearlessly…
So I basically end up with Bill Clinton’s haircut — which is acceptable. It is what it is.
:D
