User Reviews for HOTMESS

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Denise is confident, highly talented, and very savvy with the latest styles. They use and sell top products and the space is fun and funky. Sounds like some high-end concept salon with total attitude and rediculous prices, right? Wrong. Hot Mess is very chill, not intimidating, and they actually listen. What a concept!

Pros: A rare combination of talent and accessibility.

Cons: Pack a lunch--it's pretty far north!

Hello
Posted on 04/21/2008
We are sorry you felt that our price was too high. We determine the cost of the haircut on the length of the clients hair and the style that they want. Our prices are very competitive and in most cases less expensive than that of other quality salons. The price includes the style and blow-dry where (other salons charge separately for both) We hope your experience was otherwise satisfactory and would welcome you back. Thank you Hotmess

I can't wait for my appointment at HOTMESS! The atmosphere at this place is so inviting and the service is wonderful. My last time there I felt like a queen being pampered. I had come in for a cut and my stylist not only cut my hair perfectly but told me how to take care of my difficult to handle hair. She also gave me a conditioning treatment which was just what my stressed hair needed. I walked out of there with the smoothest hair I've had in a long time. They all really know their stuff.

I went into hotmess looking for a color and cut for the spring and Denis knew exactly what I wanted. She sat me down and explained in full detail what she thought suited me best and also incorporated my own ideas. From the moment you walk in, the environment is so warm and friendly (especially with Nassy around). I was always asked if I was comfortable, offered beverages and always a smile on everyones face. By the end of my appointment I came out of Hotmess feeling beautiful with my new color and cut. Thanks Hotmess .. u guys rock!

Pros: parking available

I have spent the last year and a half trying to recover from a bad hair cut I received at Gallery of Hair. I have curly hair that for some reason many hair stylist end up giving me a bad cut. I went to Hot Mess after I saw my sister's hair style and was very impressed! I loved the cut and style that Denise gave me!!!!!!!! It has been a long time since I have been able to find someone who can give me a wonderful cut. Denise had her work cut out for her. Not only did she have to fix the mess that a previous stylist gave me, but she was still able to make my hair look so nice. The rest of the staff was also kind! I thank all of them greatly!! Sheam

Now..... I know what I like and I know what's good.... and this is GREAT!! I love everyone there they are great. I've been plenty of times already, and everytime I go it's a different style and great experience. I have gone for some red high-light and baby I looked great once it was done. This time it was coming in with long hair coming out with B.E.A.utiful short bob by Denise. My eyebrows are the BOMB by Gladys!! Thanks to the girls at HOTMESS you girls are all great.

My first time going to this Salon and as someone who has no clue about what to ask for I often feel intimidated but they make you feel at ease. I was prompted to find out more about the salon because of the great response on here so I contacted the owner Gladys and she was very nice and suggested a stylist to me. Phoenix was able to take my damaged hair and breathe some life back into it. She does a great job with blowdrying straight (seriously!) and great hair weave process that is beautiful and classy. I suggest this salon to anyone who is looking for a salon with a trendy feel but also great customer service. Oh...they also recommend good products to use for those of us who need a bit of guidance. I'm not sure where the salon falls in terms of pricing but I think I got a great amount of service for my money and I plan to return and try other stuff.

Pros: Great space, staff, music,service

Cons: None

PHOENIX PHOENIX PHOENIX I walked into Hotmess with a roller set salon travesty of hair flopped flatly on top of my head. The lovely Phoenix saved me. She lovingly beat my hair into submission. I had the best cut and color and eyebrow tweeze ever. I will be back!!! If this review convinces you to go, tell her "AGNESS" sent ya!!!

Pros: great atmosphere
