I have been seeing Julia McBride for my hair for the past 2 years. She is extremely talented and attentive to detail. She really takes her time even with the simplest hair cut! I have recomended her to many of my friends who have been happy with her work as well. I am always really happy with the cut and style that she does. I always tell her I wish she could style my hair every morning!

Pros: Good street parking, Affordable

Cons: None!

Julia McBride has been cutting and coloring my hair for about 9 months and I have been absolutely pleased! Julia McBride (note - there are 2 Julia's at Shapes) is a true professional and a perfectionist when it comes to her work and the results show it! In addition she is a sweet human being who cares about the people who sit in her chair. I was so happy with my hair that I sent my mom and both of my sisters - one of whom has crazy curly hair - Julia took extra time to talk with my sister about her unique hair and taught her new techniques to embrace her fabulous curls. My sister felt like a movie star when she left! You don't find talent and kindess like that hardly anywhere. Julia McBride is a gem and raises the bar at Shapes!

I have been going to Shapes getting my hair cut and highlighted by Richelle for about 10 years now. There was 1 time in that 10 years that I decided to go to someone else because it was more convenient (I live in Colorado Springs). NEVER AGAIN! I learned my lesson and now value even more the work that Richelle does. It is worth the drive to know that I don't have to worry about whether or not my highlights and cut will look great. Richelle is extremely knowledgable and does an outstanding job! I would recommend Shapes to anyone!

Richelle at Shapes saved my hair (it had been dyed orange by a friend), listened to what I wanted and what kind of a lifestyle I lead (professional but still fun), and I left loving my color and cut! After three bad colorings I was a little skiddish about coloring my hair, but I absolutely love my hair and I trust Richelle and her skill set. I am so glad that I found such an amazing stylist.

Julia is the best hair stylist ever -- I wouldn't go to anyone else! She has such a great eye for cut and color. I don't always know what I want when I go in, but I tell her generally "shorter" or "more layers" and she does it just right. I have always been thrilled with my hair cuts from her! Also, I have curly hair and not only does she cut it well, she also styles it (and teaches me to style it correctly), which makes me really excited about my curls, so I don't straighten it every day any more. I have never had a stylist actually deal with my curly hair before and make it look great. And in the past year, I have started getting color done too, and I love what she is doing. I can give her a sense of what I want, and she puts things together that are perfect. I am doing more than one color in my hair -- I have caramel, red, and dark browns right now -- and the colors always work together and are never overdone or too light. My hair has never looked so good or professionally done! (Plus, Julia does brow waxing too and she is great at that as well -- again I won't go to anyone else)

Pros: Service, Products, Skill Level, Location

I recently had my hair cut at Shapes by a stylist named Julia, and she did a tremendous job! As I was fairly ambiguous in my description of the style I wanted, she was still able to help me communicate what I wanted and make it come to life. She was extremely helpful in that way and very friendly, too. The setting of Shapes is warm and inviting, located in the Highlands neighborhood overlooking downtown Denver's skyline. I will definitely be returning for my next haircut with Julia; I've already received several comments from co-workers who liked my haircut.

If you want the absolute best hair cut EVER ask for Julia. THIS GIRL HAS SKILL!!! She really took time to listen to what I wanted and ask a lot of questions to make sure she got it just perfect. Her perfection must be with her highlights because the color came out awesome. She is very friendly and made me feel really welcome in a new salon. Shapes offers a wonderful environment that is warm and inviting. They play up beat music that can't help but put you in a good mood. Trust me, you will not be sorry!

Pros: Great atmosphere, music, and people. You really get what you ask for

If you are looking for a great stylist or colorist, then look no more. Eliza Stallings at Shapes Salon has all the talent and personality to get you feeling and looking your best! I came to Eliza a year ago with a style and color disaster! Eliza was able to fix both problems and I walked away with fabulous color and a great style after the first visit. I have been a loyal customer since. As for the Salon, relaxed and friendly and someone is always there to talk your call! Oh...did I mention parking? I can always find a place to park and, it's free!

I loves Shapes Salon! My new stylist, Julia, took my bland dirty blonde hair and gave me the perfect balance of highlights so not only does it look natural, it looks fabulous. I'm definately turning heads. . . The cut is also perfect for the shape of my face. And I got my eyebrows waxed for the first time and am now addicted. Julia taught me that eyebrows shape the face, and mine look great. If you go to Shapes, ask for Julia, she is true professional and really knows her stuff!

Pros: Great Staff with amazing knowledge and skills

Cons: Parking

If you are unhappy with your hair you must see Eliza. My first visit she discovered my hair was actually curly. All that wasted money on horrible perms in my youth! Seriously, Eliza is great, works with the hair you have and makes the most of it. She is always on time, spends extra time with me if I need it and works enough hours that I never have trouble getting in to see her. She always has a smile and makes the whole process fun and enjoyable. Eliza is a 10 in my book!!

Pros: Downtown location, great service, doesn't try and sell you products you don't need

Cons: None
