The Hair Standard

If I could give zero stars I would.
I went in for a haircut, left happy with iron curled results. However, a week later when I style my locks with a flat iron my husband tells me the length of my hair from the back doesn’t match. I confirm with a mirror that indeed there is something off with the ends of my hair. I called the salon and was courteous to ask if there is a charge for a haircut correction (perhaps I should’ve been the angry customer demanding a refund) — rep. aware I was there recently. The rep. said $ 55 & up depending on the stylist.
Flabbergasted, I repeated myself that I saw a stylist at their salon, the rep. insisted that the charge starts at $ 55 & up. I’m utterly disappointed. For my experience, this salon has left a bad taste. Waste of time, and money. Would I go back if the owner/​or manager reached out? No. However, I would highly suggest reevaluating the organization’s haircut correction policy.

Grace has been my esthetician for the 5 years I’ve been in Vegas — Nobody better! Works 7 days a week, she takes better care of my skin than I ever will. As a guy with a LOT of unwanted hair — Grace always makes my visits as painless as possible. She always goes above and beyond expectations, always polite, professional, timely, personable, and efficient. She cares more about your skin than you do! There’s nothing she won’t do to help you look your very best — everytime. One of my favorite people ever. Love you Gracie!

The Hair Standard is the standard! I’m so beyond excited that Unilocal helped me find this gem of a place.
I was looking for a salon near summerlin and a few popped up. I decided to go with the HS because they had the highest rating.
I talked to the receptionist and she asked who I’d like to have color my hair and I said Misty, because of the awesome reviews I read about her.
Misty called me back and asked me some questions and she booked me the same day for the earliest appointment of the day. I was so beyond pleased.
From the start Misty made sure that she would do everything possible to please me. She booked me the same day, was very flexible and when she saw the picture of what I wanted she did exact what I asked her to. Wow! She aimed for excellency!
She made my experience one of the BEST I’d ever had by talking to me while doing my hair. She shared hair tips and was very professional, down to the earth and funny.
She was so helpful helping me choose the right color for my skin tone and made the process very relaxing by offering me coffee and magazines to read while I waited for my color to set in. Misty is amazing at what she does and I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE my hair! Thanks girl! You are my new hair expert!
Also her prices are very reasonable for the excellent job she does. Not too low and not outrageously high… just right!

Kelly and her team have been cutting my hair for 2 years and I love going there for cuts. Everyone is always very nice and the environment is cool and fun. Highly recommended as its hard to get a men’s cut in Summerlin…

Absolutely love everything about this salon! The inside is gorgeous and everyone I’ve been in contact with is so friendly ! I’ve been going to Heather McBride for a few years now and am so happy she’s here. She definitely keeps up with me wanting to constantly change up my hair and I can say I honestly love everything she does and she keeps it healthy! I just recently got hair extensions and I’m obsessed and probably now addicted. She’s the best!

I loved everything about my experience. Everyone was friendly, the place was clean, and prices are beyond reasonable. I had color correction, balayage, and a hair cut from Megan W.
It exceeded all my expectations. I will definitely be going back to her again!!!

When I started going to the hair standard my hair was jet black and extremely unmanageable. I have spent decades hating my thick unruly curly hair and in addition being told that I could never lighten my hair in a way that would not damage it or look natural! Fast forward a year with Misty as my stylist and color expert– I now LOVE my hair !!! I have all the right products and techniques to straighten it and it is a gorgeous warm shade of brown with blond highlights, and it looks like my natural hair color! Misty is a genius when it comes to coloring and does it in a way that protects your hair from damaging. I think my next venture with her will be to get hair extensions! I would recommend Misty to anyone looking for a stylist that is extremely talented, honest, passionate about her work, and enjoyable to talk with!

Heather McBride is by far the best hair girl I’ve ever had! I’ve been going to her for over a year and a half now! She recently just moved to this salon, and they are so lucky to have her! If you’re looking for someone that will make you love your hair every time you leave, she’s the one! Not to mention, this salon is beautiful!

This review is based on two separate visits.
First time, I read all the great reviews and decided to call. Lucky me, there was an opening the same day, which is what I wanted. When I got there and waited for my hair dresser, I was looking around and it’s a nice salon, busy too! Sidney did my hair, I went from black color box and I told her I wanted to go lighter. She Said it’ll be a few process but we can do it. I agreed nervously, from previously bad experiences. Sidney hair painted my hair l, I sat there a lone for a while. And then the next thing you know, time to wash out, at first I was skeptical because the time wasn’t that long. I was told that I was getting Opalex (I think that’s how you spell it) for and addition $ 15. After she blew dried my hair, I loved the out come! For once it looked nice !
Second time, I came in today for a deep condition and I wanted to add a few more highlights or at least lighten them. I left with my hair wet because of the deep condition, so I couldn’t tell what the color looked like. When I fully dried and I curled it, it looked so perfect!
The only thing I found weird was when I asked if we were adding Opalex again, and she said no that’s a whole treatment process that you have to do at home. And I thought to myself. Well I was supposed to get that kit last time but didn’t get any take home kits. In fact I didn’t even know you needed one until today when it was mentioned that I didn’t get Opalex last time even though I paid.
That was my only concern. Other than that, I love my hair color (both times) Sidney is awesome.

Got my hair done by Janelle and it was fantastic. She gave me everything I wanted and was very quick.

This is my first time at the hair standard I just love the atmosphere and everyone is so nice. I have been going to Amy Carmody for over seven years. She is the best in Las Vegas great at coloring and extension and can fix anybody’s hair.

I discovered this place after realizing my hair was growing out unevenly for whatever reason. I called immediately and was offered a same day appointment with Misty which I happily took. Misty was amazing and did exactly what I needed without taking off too much hair. She was so nice and easy to talk to… And then gave my hair the best blowout ever! I absolutely love her. I don’t get my hair cut too often but I will definitely be coming back to Misty!

I’ve been getting my haircut here, monthly, since I moved to Las Vegas last year. Jon McFerrin is my stylist and he is amazing, I won’t be going anywhere else anytime soon.

Once upon a time, what seemed like many moons ago, I volunteered to be a hair model for a nice salon. I was excited to get what typically costs me $$$ done for free! Except that 3 hours later, I walked out with blunt orange steps and unstyled hair. For a week, I affectionately referred to it as the stairmaster on my head. I couldn’t wear my hair down because it was so bad.
Luckily, I was able to find Jen at The Hair Standard! She got me in within that week and did some magic. It took 3 processes over 2 trips because I figured we might as well go super blonde while fixing the horrible blend lines and she took me blonder than ever before! She fixed some serious issues with my hair yet it doesn’t feel damaged and the hours I spent in her chair flew by. She is super nice, sweet, a great conversationalist, and most importantly, she’s good at what she does. There is never a dull, awkward moment. I’ll definitely be back to see Jen!

Sooooo I have been hopping from hair salon to hair salon trying to find a hair wizard to handle my non-​conformist have-a-mind-of-it’s-own naturally curly hair. Color wise my hair is very very resistant to change. It’s frequently gives me the proverbial middle finger.
Having such dark hair usually what happens is my hair soaks up the color and then just turns dark again instead of the color I want.
I decided to give The hair standard a try. I saw some of Amy Mowat’s colorings and really thought she could do the trick.
First impression the salon was cool and trendy. I liked the old school Chicago vibe. Played great music and had very helpful staff.
Amy was awesome. Not only is she the cutest thing ever with great hair herself –but she discussed what I wanted and made it happen. She discussed colors and skin tones (which no one does) and we had good conversation to boot.
Also– we had to bleach some hair which everyone hates to do because it can leave your hair feeling dry and unhealthy however my hair felt just as healthy when I went in as when I went out. It had bounce and was super soft. I have had a ton of compliments on how my hair was colored because it looked natural yet had a pop of color.
I definitely plan on going back to her as much as I can. I plan on trying a bunch of different colors and ideas until I find what I really want. Can’t wait to keep playing around with my new hair!

Guys, for real? Can we talk about the hair wizard that is Jenna Erickson?! I’ve officially dubbed her Hairy Potter. HAIRY FREAKING POTTER. Although I might need to rethink that because she’s not hairy at all… sorry, Jenna.
Anyway, I posted a before/​after photo. As you can see, I look BUSTED. Besides the fact that I hadn’t washed my hair in a couple of days and I have a kink in it because it was in a pony tail, I hadn’t done my hair in six months. Six months ago I got an ombré color done (men: that’s when your hair is one color and it fades into another at the bottom) and my hair cut to right below my chin (my hair grows alarmingly fast). I also had a shaved side panel that you can see in one of my profile images here on Unilocal.I decided to grow it out and so I had this awkward… growth on one side of my head that was a PAIN IN THE ASS to cover. For Fall, I wanted to get back to my Mexican roots and do something dramatic. And OBVIOUSLY do something about the damn chia pet growing out the side of my head.
I went to Jenna, she helped me pick out extensions I was comfortable with, told me what color she thought would look good on me and because she somehow makes me forget I have trust issues, VOILA. I feel Mexican and beautiful again :) I will admit that It was a lengthy process but hello?! Do you see the transformation? It was worth every second of it. Plus they have a damn Keurig so I have no complaints. She explained to me why she had to dye my blonde hair a red first THEN put the black in. It was all so educational, honestly LOL. Then she put the extensions in and cut them as needed. And at one point while I was sitting under the dryer, she did a man’s hair and I’m not saying I’m straight or anything but dannnngggg. She did a good job on him.
Oh BTW, I knew that this place did before/​after shots but they have their own damn set-​up. I’m talking like… professional lighting set up, professional camera… they even have a mark on the floor for where you stand LOL. I felt like such a model.
So…tl;dr — go here.
You will NOT regret it. Oh and whoever chooses the music. keep on. I was moon walking all over the place.

Jon McFerrin is the absolute best! He’s the kind of stylist that you can completely trust to make you look and feel beautiful. He’s also super nice and sweet and makes you feel totally comfortable while you’re there getting beautified. I don’t trust many people when it comes to my hair but he could do something crazy with my hair and I’m confident that I’d still love it!

Had my hair done by Megan Wathen and my cut and color is so good, my hair grows fast and I’m hoping it won’t grow too fast this time because I’m obsessed. Megans Instagram is Meganwhair if you want to check some of her stuff out! Great hair washing experience as well. The salon is also so awesome, it’s got a great vibe, I highly recommend.

My best friend referred me to Kristin… Anyone who lives in Vegas know it’s really hard to find a really good hairstylist, I’ve been so out of luck I would drive back and forth to Cali to get my hair done… When I first walked into the salon I loved the ambience of the place and when met Kristin my impression on her was… Wow she’s tall with gorgeous hair lol. She changed my hair from a red magenta to blond and I’ve only seen her twice. My hair is still health to my shocking and the colors came out so beautiful and let me say I really love my hair. She’s such a gifted hairstylist and I’m so happy to say I found my new stylist. PS The standard hair shop really has standards lol… People say it’s a little pricy but I get what I paid for and its beautiful healthy hair :)

I had my hair washed, cut and styled by Janelle today and it’s amazing! Not only is she friendly and really open to discussing your needs, she is professional and smiles a lot! My hair looks AMAZING!
Might I add, she didn’t try to sell anything to me… Wasn’t pushy, didn’t try to force any cut or treatment on me, just listened and responded. I love that! My biggest pet peeve is being told to purchase a $ 40 treatment when all I want is a cut!
Im the most picky hair client I know and I was 100% happy. My hair is shiny and vibrant! I am a loyal Janelle customer from now on.
Oh /​and the salon is gorgeous! Really clean and well put together.
