Camille was so professional and asked clarifying questions and worked with me on what I wanted, and it turned out perfectly!! The front desk staff were also so friendly and personable. Amazing experience!
I have crazy curly hair, and the Curl Specialist (Val) was phenomenal! Very clean, very chill, everyone was very kind. Highly recommend!
My wedding party and I got our hair done at Union Hair Parlor, and we absolutely loved it! We had a large group, and we were able to reserve part of the salon for our bridal group. It was really great to have everyone together like that, and it allowed things to feel a bit more private/like we werent in the way of others at the salon. We were also able to bring in breakfast/beverages for the group, which was incredibly helpful! We were all able to eat and hangout and get ready together the morning of the wedding, thanks to the setup at the salon. Coordinating everything with Ari from the salon was great and it all went very smoothly.Laura did my bridal updo, as well as some other hairstyles for the bridesmaids. She was INCREDIBLE! She was totally open to ideas/suggestions, and my hair turned out exactly as I had hoped. Shes also just incredibly kind and friendly, and I would recommend her to anyone for their wedding or just for a hair stylist in general.
I have curly hair and don’t ever really know what to ask for, but Meghan rocked it. She spent a good amount of time on my hair, and was very detail oriented. She’s also really pleasant.
Didnt have to wait everyone was. The hair cut was great
I had been going since September for a cut and color every three weeks and then showing up for my appointment at 10 o’clock on March 4 wanted to wait inside as I had before prior to the owner coming realizing their salon didn’t open until 10 o’clock and was met by an upstairs resident with a gray pitbull puppy that was racial against me and full of hate and the way the salon handled it was very poor. I was fearful that this man would return with a gun or dump gasoline on me with what he said and I will never return to the salon. I found a new salon that I’m very happy with in Middleton and therefore don’t have to go all the way across town anymore. Growing through what I go through.
Doing a great job of applying social distancing rules while also providing an excellent haircut. The interior is very tastefully decorated, with a warmth and light that makes for a relaxing experience. The music is kept at a nice volume that allows for easy conversation even through a mask and everyone seemed very friendly. I definitely recommend getting your hair cut here.
My child couldnt be happier with their new hairstyle. Meghan did such a great job incorporating all the ideas my kiddo had for their hair.Also, all the staff are doing their part to keep customers and each other safe.
Friendly humans, immaculate haircuts, and a great atmosphere!
Awesome service, friendly staff.
The stylist was great and tried to follow the pintrist braid I had found and have wanted to use for quite some time..... they also managed to fit 4 of us in on relatively short notice for a bridal party and managed to give us all unique looks and best of all the bride was happy
Noah did an amazing job with my hair! I had been bleaching it myself at home for a while and recently decided to transition to have it done professionally. He was able to retouch the roots and tone my hair perfectly and cut my hair to the perfect length. It felt so much healthier. I havent been to a stylist in years and Im very pleased, would definitely go back :)
Mary is the best hair stylist Ive ever had (and believe me, theres been many). Like many other curly haired girls, Im very particular on who cuts my hair. However, I tend to move a fair bit, and go through the song and dance of figuring out who I can trust to not make my hair more crazy.Look no further! Mary not only listens to what youre looking to do (and not do), but is able to translate that into a fantastic cut every time.Even more, shes just a fantastic person to talk to. She really makes you feel like youre hanging out with a good friend and is such a joyful human to be around.Go to Union Parlor and ask for Mary. You will not regret it.
I didnt know you have to stand outside and wait for your appt. A woman open the door for the lady standing in front of me and shut the door in my face . When I tried to call to set up an appt. Nobody answered the phone even tho there were about 3 or 4 workers inside. They saw me standing outside of the door, made eye contact with me and then just ignored me and the phone. It was very uncomfortable, and awkward. I will never return here!!
I got my hair cut by Mary and I have never been happier!! I went from very thick shoulder length mixed curly hair, to a beautiful curly pixie cut. She asked questions, I showed her a picture from reference and she matched it perfectly!! I am very happy and will be going here for all my haircut needs from now on!
Great staff with stellar skills
I had a great experience with Camille on my first visit. I wanted to get highlights done but wasnt sure what it was I wanted. Camille was very nice and patient. She went over different colors with me until I was set on the look I wanted. I loved the end result and overall had a very good experience. I would recommend this place and Camille to anyone!
My haircut with Heidi was like no other Ive ever had. She was so personable and hilarious. Also very talented. I am so happy with how things turned out!
Im a longtime client of Union and was thrilled when they were available to provide hair and make-up services for our wedding party! They were excellent to work with throughout the planning process. On the big day, they made us feel welcomed, taken care of, and beautiful. Their stylists are so talented and can work with all kinds of hair types/styles and preferences on make-up. Thank you!
I haven’t left many reviews before but I felt Noah’s quality of work and patience with my hair definitely deserves a shout out! Noah has successfully brought my hair from a dark brunette that was stubborn to release its orange undertones to a wonderful light blonde. Thank you Noah for being patient enough with my hair to helping me achieve my blonde hair goals! 😊😊
I came to Union for help with growing my hair out. Daisy gave me an incredible consultation and the following week I stopped in for a cut, color, and eyebrow waxing. She did an amazing job, made me feel like part of the family, and I left feeling really good and excited for the future. I cant wait to continue my journey with Daisy and Union!
I went in for my first haircut at Union, and couldnt have been happier with the experience! The stylists/staff are very friendly, inviting, and definitely listen to their clients. The cherry on top was that my cut was affordable!
I have curly hair, and I came into my hair appointment with pictures of a blunt bob in curly hairstyles showing that it could be done. It wasn’t until the cut was finished that my stylist told me that she did something different than what was talked about because “straight cuts tend to shape hair like a triangle.” That’s kind of the point. I knew that. I knew it was a dramatic cut. I brought in photo evidence. I’d already asked her to adjust the cut once so I didn’t feel like I could do it again. So I walked away with a mediocre cut that I’ve seen 1000 times. Everyone was nice and the space was lovely, but I was really disappointed.
This is my new favorite place to get my hair cut. I called the day before and they were able to fit me in not problem. The atmosphere is really nice and I got one of the best haircuts I’ve had in a while.
May 2019, Editing from 4 to 2 stars. I emailed them over a week ago to ask about an update to when the online scheduling will be back and have heard nothing. Communication is important, and they are dropping the ball. But hey, if you are obsessed with cars and parking, they are posting near daily updated on the status of Winnebago Street. We know they can keep us updated, I wish the same was happening for the online scheduling system. It went down in August of 2018, so I suspect we will hit a year before anything happens.I have never had a bad experience here. However, I am quite disappointing at the removal of online scheduling tool.My first visit to Union was before I even moved here. I had my hair cut by Bria while I was in town for an interview. It was perfect. Since moving here I have been primarily getting my hair cut by Jessica, and it is always amazing. I switched to an undercut, and she does such a great job with it. She does great designs in it as well, both creative ideas off the top of her head, and things I show her a picture of. She is also a pleasure to chat with.Service has always been great by everyone I encountered including the receptionists.My only disappointment is the removal of the online scheduling system. It seems to have gone away around August 2018 and has yet to be replaced as of February 2019. Trying to find a hair cut appointment for a stylist that is quite in demand while having a busy schedule myself, is a struggle. I dont want to have to go through my whole schedule with a receptionist while trying to find a time. I want to do that myself. Please bring this vital tool back.
Excellent hair styling and eyebrow waxing. I worked with Daisy, the proprietor of this establishment. She was enthusiastic about helping me find a new hairstyle, and gave great suggestions for hair products. She did an excellent job waxing my eyebrows as well.
If you have curly hair, go see Karlijn! She is fantastic. Every cut I get from her brings out my curls in the most beautiful way. Ive been stopped in different states multiple times by people asking where I get my hair done! On top of that, Union has a great selection of cruelty-free products.
Good location but no parking. Clean shop. Decent people. I ended up having to go back for a second color process because my stylist didnt get it quite right the first time. No big deal though, because they fixed it for free and got me in the next day to have it fixed. Overall very happy.
Love it. They do everything right. Haircut was great, amazing shampoo, music was good, got a free drink, everyone was nice and helpful. They even called back to fit me in last minute after a cancellation.Ill keep going here until I find a real good reason to stop.
I have gotten my hair cut here for a few years and cant think of going anywhere else. Its fun, affordable and conveniently located. There are stylists at every price level and they sell great products. I recommend this place to everyone. And I *always* get compliments on my hair. Even when I think it looks bad!
Love my new haircut by Camille! She brought my natural curls back to life.Also, beautiful eyebrows by Laura. I was also lucky enough to be a hair and makeup model for Laura which was so much fun. Great experience at Union once again.
I have been going to Union Hair Parlor for several years now. Love this place. I get my hair cut only 3-4 times per year as I keep it long, but my stylist, Lucas, remembers me and our conversations every time. Plus, hes magical if you ever want to do some fun colors in your hair. (Im currently rocking some electric blue!) I would highly recommend Union Hair Parlor and Lucas to anyone!
Great atmosphere. Beautiful bar! Wonderful staff.
Really lovely staff and a really lovely atmosphere. Ive been there twice and havent regretted it once. Love that they offer you drinks while you wait for your appointment
Nikki is the best stylist I Have ever had. The people here are awesome and the prices are extremely reasonable. I recently moved from Chicago and went to a few different places before finding Union. I will never go anywhere else!
A clean establishment and a friendly atmosphere are the first signs of a top-notch experience - and this place delivers! My personal stylist is Jessica Z but have also had positive experiences with other employees. For maximum convenience use the Vagaro app/website for scheduling. Dont forget to check the fridge for a complimentary treat!
This place is perfect. The staff is so very friendly, its pretty easy to get an appt with the stylist you want, and they do an amazing job! Ive had a big change haircut and facial waxing done here, and they are fantastic! The salon is also so cute and fun. I would recommend this salon to everyone!
Great chill friendly vibe, good talented people, great haircuts. For short haircuts you cant go wrong with Jessica.Location is right by a few bus lines and its a pleasant neighborhood to walk in.
I took my 5 year old to cut his hair. That staff was very friendly and kept my kid comfortable during the whole experience. It is a little expensive but it seems like thats the case with every hair dresser in that neighborhood.
I wont get my hair done anywhere else. Daisy & Rosa and the whole team at Union Hair Parlor are all absolutely amazing. I always look forward to getting my hair cut. They have a mini fridge fully stocked which is such a treat. You can book online anytime with their website- but be aware that itll take almost a month most of the time before you can get an appointment. 100% worth it though. If you have curly hair, this is absolutely the place to go.
Went 4 times and tried 3 different stylists. Most recently was overcharged for what was listed for the kids cut for that stylist and the cut looks awful. Would absolutely not recommend for a kids cut.Edit: I did end up speaking with someone who was able to track down a manager, and was refunded for the cut. The hair ended up much too short, so there isn’t much to be done, but everyone I spoke with was kind about it. I personally would not go back for a kids cut, but everyone there is very nice.
I always have Rosa cut my hair at Union Hair Parlor and she always does a great job! Location is convenient with plenty of on-street parking. I have recommended Union Hair Parlor to a number of my friends and would highly recommend it to anyone who wants a professional haircut.
Really nice hair parlor. Always kind stylists and a nice waiting area with free beverages and snacks. Highly recommend it.
Rosa is by far and away the best. If you are looking for the friendliest and most talented stylist in Madison then you have to let Rosa take care of you. Not only will she make you look great, but her genuine care about her clients will make you feel great at the end of your appointment too.
Love the staff and my haircuts have always been excellent here.
FIRE THE RECEPTIONIST. The stylists at this salon are probably good at their jobs since there are so many good reviews, that is also the reason I called. However, the reception is so rude, talking in a way like the customer is owing her something or begging to make an appointment. Without answering questions, she pushed me to make an appointment. While talking to me, she still talked very loudly in background with someone else. Without any doubts, i would give one star. I will never go to this place because of her. The hair salon should find someone better especially if her only way to get paid is to talk to customers.
Have been going through Union for a year now. Great place, great people. Very happy with my hair!
Queer-friendly and comfortable. Great service.
Have been searching for a new hair salon after moving from Delaware. Took about a year to discover Union, and I wish I had sooner. Rosa is super friendly, an amazing stylist, and does an awesome mens cut. Looking forward to coming here for a while. Thanks Union!
Wonderful service and always a great experience.
I wish I could say it was lovely... unfortunately I had the only bad haircut Ive ever had in my life? Camille was my hairdresser, and a very nice woman, but I asked for chin length hair with some layers to lighten it up and bring out some curls/waves and unfortunately she took that to mean ear length hair that will be layered so short that it is too short to naturally curl. My beautiful thick hair has been reduced to thin, teenage boy hair and I honestly think she thought she was doing me a favor by making it not thick. My advice if you go here is to be very clear about what you mean for your haircut. I thought I was. I probably wont return. Back to the Aveda beauty school.
Bria = AMAZING! Probably the best hair cut Ive (honestly) had.... She perfect for anyone with mid length wavy hair. :)
Personable, knowledgeable, hospitable. I had a free Klarbrun (one of many complimentary drinks), tried some tester beard oil, and had an extensive conversation about my hair preferences and overall needs for hair. Karlÿn was very genuine and professional. $27 for barber cut with her. $3 tip because great service. Relaxed.
Great staff and the best fades/cuts in Madison,WI.
I concur with all the good things other reviewers have mentioned - friendly vibe, great location and overall a very positive experience. Lovely haircut by Jamie!
I always see Jessica. She is great with my kinda curly fine hair.
Terrible hair cut. My hair completely broke off, not quit sure what she did, worst ever. Cant do anything with it but let it grow out. Wont return. And way to pricey.
Great stylists! Love this place!
OMG... Hands down, Bria is the best!!! She was something else! Havent had a nice cut like this since 2009!
Jessica Zaremba is an awesome stylist! I always leave happy and satisfied with my cut!
If your hair is curly this place will serve you well.
I really enjoy the atmosphere here. I dont feel out of place or ill at ease. Some salons try to be so posh that I feel weird. Everyone is friendly and Ive never left with a bad cut.
Ive been a really happy customer of this shop for a while (especially with Jamie Seroogy, whos been my barber for a good while now). I never feel like Im out of place here--great friendly staff, chill, laid-back service, and they really want you to walk out with hair you feel good about, and they work with you to do it, even if it means forgoing an upsell on some product or more expensive style/service.
I got my eye lashes tinted and I can barely tell there was anything done. I guess a lack of communication was the issue. I made a comment that I didnt like putting on mascara so I kind of assumed, it would look like I had mascara on. I have had my eyelashes done at another salon and that was exactly how they looked, so I assumed that was the result I would get. I was disappointed and feel it was a waste of time and money.
Bria is the best! Love the short cut that I get from her!
Cuts are ok; customer service is terrible. Ive gone here three times and each time has progressively been worse than the time before. The attitudes have always been hard to deal with, but to have a customer come in at their appointment time and wait 45 minutes because the stylist didnt make it in on time isnt acceptable. This has happened twice. No im sorry for the wait or anything- its just expected youll wait it out. The third time I actually got in on time, and the cut was ok, but the stylist was just short and rude. I guess if you have someone you consistently go to youll probably be ok. If you dont, go elsewhere and dont bother with this place.
Ive gotten my hair cut at Union for two years, have jumped between stylists (because of my weird schedule) - all of the stylists have done a phenomenal job and everyone has a friendly, positive attitude!
Great hair cut with Hannah Kopplin! Highly recommend.
So i came here over the summer getting my hair done ombre and i normally have really thick curly hair thats dark brown, i also recently got a hair cut around that time too but from a different hair salon, the lady who did my hair was very very nice i love her a lot her name is Maddi, but its just when she dyed my hair she over bleached my hair and i didnt notice until i got home but i combed through my hair and CHUNKS of my hair ripped off atleast around 5 inches long!! and all my curls were completely gone! i tried everything i could to fix my hair so i went to another salon and the lady said my hair was severely damaged when she fixed it. Its been 6 months now and my hair is still like this, all dried up, frizzy, breaking off everywhere, and i cant get it cut off because my hair is still too short! And this costed me 140 dollars here.... all of that money just to ruin my hair. It took me such a long time to finally give feedback but im not normally the one to complain, i feel bad but at the same time its better that i said something then never. i have to say i love this salon so much but i wont ever come back here because i have to look at my hair everyday and straighten it because im still with this broken, damaged, frizzy hair, i just miss my curly hair, but thats my review
Love these guys. Rosa is the best!
Amazing people, always enjoying going in and never have had a bad haircut. Theyve even saved me from bads ones I had .
I would describe the stylists here as careful, considerate, and very talented.
They have great stylists!
Amazing Salon...
Excellent hairdressers and top quality service.
My hairdresser listened to what I wanted in a haircut, then made it happen!!
Good service, friendly, knowledgeable n professional stylists
The staff is amazing!! S/O to Lucas!!
Great service and cuts!
33 day wait for an appointment. Ridiculous!
Love my cut!
Great colorists
Were not that big of a city.
Awesome experience
