Megan curly hair EXPERT!!

by Jennifer Jones

I went to Shapes Salon because I found them in the westword. I have NEVER had a good hair cut anywhere. My hair is very curly and unmanagable. I was very nervous coming in to this experience, but Megan knew just what to say to make me feel comfortable and calm. She explained everything to me in detail about what she was doing and how. She had a very friendly attitude and we had great conversation. When I left the salon, I felt so amazing and my hair looked beautiful! She took her time and made sure that I knew how to recreate it at home. I would recommend Megan at Shapes Salon to everyone who wants the best curly hair experience of their life.

• Pros: Personality, attitude, skill

Jazz it up with Jessica!

by kimeham

If you're looking for that new city-hair experience, head to Shapes for a trendy makeover. I recommend Jessica for the latest and greatest, be it a stylin' cut or color or both, Jess makes the best of what you have to work with - curly or straight - integrating your own personal flair with the newest techniques. Having just returned from her recent seminar in the N.Y.C., Jessica continues to add to her vast skillset which, combined with her uncanny ability for bringing out the beauty in everyone she meets, makes her one of Denver's premier stylists. Whether you want to rock the latest look or stick with a timeless classic, Jessica has the vision to make it happen. Personally, I am style-impaired and a total Tomboy, so I just tell her to do her thing, trusting that she'll send me out the door with a bit of that new-hair swagger. So, whatever your request, she'll give you what you want regardless if you knew what what was in the first place!

• Pros: Amazing with color and the latest styles!
• Cons: Gets booked fast - so call ahead!

Best Haircut Ever for Curly Girl

by JetRose

RIchelle gave me the best haircut of my life! I have never had so many positive comments about my hair - ever. It's difficult and different to cut really curly hair and Richelle is amazing. She really knows her craft. I highly recommend Shapes Salon and Richelle.

• Pros: Excellent Curly Girl Cut
• Cons: none

Don't Mix the Julias!

by darkhorsie

I get my hair done at Shapes (I'm a curly girl) and accidentally made an appointment with the wrong Julia. The other Julie seems great, but Julia McBride is the one who is the specialist with curly hair. This REALLY MATTERS because not all the girls there can cut curly hair. MAKE SURE you get Julia McBride if you want a curly hair cut.

I ended up waiting for an appointment with the right Julie, so it all worked out, but you have to be careful, because they don't do the same cuts!

• Pros: Nice Stylists

Julia Dreiling at Shapes is wondeful!

by lbl81

I have been meaning to write this for a while; I guess the old saying goes, "no news is good news!" A few months ago, I had the UGLIEST haircut ever! In a panic, I called the salon, Shapes, Julia Dreiling, miraculously, was able to "undo" the damage. She was calm, kind, and quick! She even gave me a discount, and told me I could come back for a free maintenance cut. I definitely recommend her for anyone that wants a nice cut/color. She gives advice, without putting down your current style and her advice is A+. I am only going to go to her from now on! I think most of the girls at this Salon are really good, but I definitely recommend Julia D. Her cell is 303-564-7133.

Recommended for wavy haired people

by lsrf

I had my hair cut by Julia and was very impressed. I was very reluctant to try a new stylist because they all think they know what they are doing with my hair and then I end up with a bad haircut.

If I kew about Devachan cuts before I probably would not have ended up with so many bad ones.

I had to wait aout 20 minutes longer than my appointment time so that was a drag. But was offered something to drink while I waited.

The salon space was cramped and is a little inconspicuous from the street. I also did not like the Deva products they used on my hair, because it left it feeling very greasy.

But, when I explained to Julia what I wanted done with my hair and to just trim the ends she listened. SHe listened so well she gave me exactly what I wanted with my layers and fixed the problem areas.

She is very skilled at cutting wavy hair, she knew by looking at my hair what needed to be fixed, and just gave me a rockin haircut.

She cut it dry which I have had done before with bad luck. But what she did differently was cut it without disrupting the wave pattern. She didnt comb through it or spray it before cutting it. She looked at my natural wave patterns and cut it so all my hair pieces fall naturally in place-without it looking like I have a head full of layers (even though I do). She did not texturize or use a razor, something that can really be damaging to certain hair types.

I highly recommend this stylist. She is friendly enough and professional. She didnt talk my ear off either. She is just what I was looking for in a stylist and will definitely go back to her.

• Pros: great haircut
• Cons: small salon, expensive, pushy on the products, appt not on time

Julia McBride is an artist!

by shelleyprier

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!

Ask for Julia McBride

by laurieanne16

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!

Won't go anywhere else!

by cd2020

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 is amazing at coloring and styling hair!

by SCashMoney

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.
