Hot Heads Salon

One of the worst hair experiences of my life

by ooftagirl at Citysearch

I walked in with high expectations of this salon based on the glowing reviews I read on Citysearch. I wish I could turn back time, because I would have saved myself over $175 and the trauma of having utterly destroyed hair only a few months before my wedding. Not only did I bring several pictures of myself displaying the specific color I desired, but I talked at length with the stylist, Raymond. What I got was SHOCKINGLY over-processed yellow hair of a hue that is not found in nature. I could have easily bought an $8 box of bleach and it would looked more natural than the tacky, embarrassing color I was left with. When I insisted that the color was wrong, I was told by the stylist that it would "darken" over time and he said, "You asked for blonde and that's what I gave you." I asked him to fix it and was charged for a treatment that was completely unsuccessful-- he even agreed that it did nothing to fix the problem but charged me for it anyway. He would not correct my hair further because he was "busy" and turned me away literally in tears. I am still in shock that he treated me with no regard whatsoever when he obviously ruined my color and refused to correct the problem that day. His audacity, rudeness, and lack of compassion is unparalleled in my eyes and I cannot believe I was still charged the full amount. After coming home and showing my outraged fiance the results, I called the salon back and a true darling of a stylist took pity on me and offered to fix the damage for free. I walked out with normal-looking hair again and my tears dried, but I have not had hair in this poor condition in my life. The second stylist, Candace, was an absolute miracle worker, very talented, and very sweet, and my rating for her is five stars based on her caring attitude and willingness (and ability) to help. I can only hope with several months of expensive deep conditioning and babying, my hair will return to a normal state in time for my wedding.

• Pros: Some stylists there DO have skill
• Cons: The ones that don't will ruin your hair

Richard makes me beautiful!

by Kay27 at Citysearch

I have been going to see Richard for a little over a year now and every time I leave his chair i feel like a million dollars. I have pin straight hair and he always gives it such a beautiful, lasting shape that I feel like I should be in a shampoo commercial. He knows how to make you look great and give you exactly what you want. Richard gets an A++ from me!

Candace you make me look beautiful, EVERYTIME!

by WorkoutQueen at Citysearch

I have been meaning to write this review for a while now and I finally am, sorry it is so overdue. Candace is not only a sweetheart but she knows how to make anyone feel beautiful, not just from the outside either but she has a lot of great things to say and is always positive. She is one hairdresser who will give you her honest opinion and doesn't talk so much B.S. like so many do! Thanks to her I have gained confidence in myself and get compliments on my hair cut and color often.

If you want someone with a warm and fuzzy heart, someone who is positive and won't rip you off GO SEE CANDACE POST!!!

Lov e you girl!!!!

• Pros: Friendly, great parking and affordable
• Cons: No Wi-Fi connection

Thanks Richard!

by capphiller at Citysearch

I have tried so many other salons in Denver, and it seems like almost all the other salons in Cherry Creek. The environment at Hot Heads is really welcoming and stylish. I went to see Richard for a cut and color and he did not disappoint. The price was comparable to anywhere else in Cherry Creek and he worked pretty quickly, but what really impressed me is that he gave me lots of options for styling my hair from business to funky depending on my mood. I'm really happy with my new do and I plan to return!

• Pros: parking in back, cool atmosphere

Alex is Fabulous/ Hot Heads is a fun, easy going salon!

by SarahGohde at Citysearch

Alex is a bright, vibrant stylist! Her easy going manner and exuberant attitude make her a true delight to be around. She is an artist; continually expanding her knowledge base by attending classes all around the country. She is a great communicator that works with her clients to do what they want; but, will tell you if she thinks you are headed down the wrong path. I have been to stylists all over the Eastern and Midwestern United States and in Toronto, Canada, and she is one of the best I’ve had the good fortune to know. She is committed to her profession and to staying on top of the latest trends. I highly recommend her to my friends and anyone looking for a wonderful stylist!

• Pros: Wonderful service
• Cons: None

Saved my little girls hair!

by feapea at Citysearch

I came in with my 14 year old daughter for a color repair. My daughter has been coloring her hair DARK brown for 2 years. She is a natural blond and wanted to return to her natural color befor her first year of high school. We made an appointment with Candace Post. She was so sweet and spent 5 hours gently bringing back my babies blond hair. She was so careful not to damage her hair any further. Not only did the color turn out beautiful she also gave her a great hair cut and style. Lets just say the last person who cut her hair butchered it!! Thank you Candace for helping my little girl start school feeling beautiful and confident!!! I would travel far for your services agian!

• Pros: best color in town
• Cons: NONE

I'm ecstatic!

by fbaytok at Citysearch

If you're like me, you do not have unlimited funds, but I'm telling you, save up and go see Alex for extensions! She is diligent, patient, confident (since she knows what she's doing), and is a person you would have fun spending a few hours with while she is transforming you into a gorgeous new person! I do have to watch my budget very carefully, yet, I know I will do extensions again even if I would have to live on noodles for a month! The best part is looking at your "before" picture right afterwards; you will wonder how you even drove to the salon that day with your old hair. I was also very worried that my husband (to whom this was a complete surprise last night) would not like it, but he absolutely loved my new look and even with an eye for catching imperfections, could not believe how real it looks...

If extensions are not your thing - visit Alex for a hair cut or color. She constantly updates herself and is very talented. I promise you she will be "your stylist" for everything you might need from day one... I could not be happier!

• Pros: So much talent - all in one place

Ray is a Wonder Boy!

by ECG at Citysearch

I ended a 15 year relationship with my previous stylist. She would not get my color right. Ray @ Hot Heads Salon gave me beautiful highlights. I am very pleased with the result of the color and the cut. Check him out!

Diamond in the rough

by coloradorockiesgirl at Citysearch

I can't say enough good things about this place. I go to Richard who always gives me exactly what I want. He is especially great if you bring a picture of what you want. He is really honest and doesn't try to sneak in extra charges for dumb things like 'conditioning treatment'. He really knows hair and has made mine look healthier than ever. I have been to a lot of salons, and in my opinion, this is the only one worth the money.

• Pros: prices and quality of service
• Cons: parking
