They are the best to go to! 10/10 will always be recommended! Today was my first time in 3 years having someone cut my hair let me tell you I absolutely loved it !! I’m obsessed! The style I was looking for was something different and it was an amazing outcome! I will be back everytime I need a hair cut.

Where do I begin? Kennedy is a miracle worker who, through mastery of her craft, has transformed my life for the better. I started seeing her at the beginning of my transition, and her expertise and willingness to support on things big and small have played an enormous part in learning how to present myself in an authentic and affirming manner. 🏳️‍⚧️ Fellow queers and allies the city over, supporting this trans-owned business (still exceedingly rare in 2024 and more important than ever in this political climate) is an easy choice. She takes wonderful care of us! Pics of the most recent cut, wax, and die attached. ✨

I’ve been going to the Salon at Library Square since 2018. Princess Kennedy is amazing with color and cuts. She’s also great at letting you know what will look good on you and what won’t. I’ve gone from dark to light and short to long (extensions included) and have loved the experience every time. She’s always accommodating of time and budget. Plus her two adorable dogs are there every time you visit. I would say the only downside is that there is no restroom in the salon and you have to use the bathroom in the library. So drink accordingly lol.

Looking for a LGBT positive experience? Come here, Princess Kennedy is great! She's kind and funny and will make you feel at home with whatever kind of cut/color/etc you want. Also, the shop is an incredibly cute location in the library and often has her sweet pups in it! Highly recommend.

I've been coming to PK for cuts since before Covid. She’s been nothing but amazing -- up until this last haircut where the cut was obviously butchered and she got mad when I had reached out about it. See the image of my hair, you can see why I requested a refund. To give context, another stylist (from a DIFFERENT SALON, way back in Jan) had cut my hair into layers where the top layer was above my ear and the bottom layer was at my jawline (like a pixie cut). Suffice to say, they cut my hair too short and that was my only issue. I like layers, but my hair was too short -- Cue to now. After growing my hair a good 3 inches longer, I book an appointment with PK to see if they could trim my layers a little as it had grown out and I also needed a bang trim. She looked at my hair and said it looked bad because the hair was curving out at the bottom. But since I didn't want my top layer to be any shorter than it already was, PK suggested we only cut the bottom layer and make it straight. I agreed because I trusted her. The only thing I asked of her was to not make my top layer (at my ear) any shorter, other than that, I told her cutting off the bottom layers was fine. I did not tell her to take nothing else off, only that I didn't want my top layer to be any shorter that what it already was. Well, we cut it. It took her no longer than 5 minutes (my appt is for 30 mins). She showed me to the big mirror and tells me the straight bottom looked better. But I noticed how there was a group of hair that was longer than what she cut. So I point that out and also ask her to trim my bangs shorter. She seemed visibly annoyed and very much rushed to complete my hair cut (mind you, I've been on that chair for no longer than 10 mins at this point). She was so obviously rushing me that I asked her if she needed to be somewhere, to which she replied that another client was coming. In under 15 mins, she completed my hair and blow dried it in a blowout (which was why I didn't see how uneven her work was). My appt was from 2:00 to 2:30. I arrived ~1:50, then waited until 2:06 for PK and another client to be done and then PK had me out by 2:23. She would have had me even earlier had I not asked for her to trim my bangs shorter. I paid $40 for 13-15 mins of rushed work. I didn't expect a “miracle” to fix the "bad haircut" from 6 months ago like she stated in her email. I expected my bottom layer to be straight because she suggested to cut it straight. So when my hair ended up looking like the outline of a mountain range, I was shocked and reached out. But she tells me I’m asking for a miracle? A miracle??? Is expecting my bottom layer to be straight AFTER she had suggested to cut the hair straight a miracle? Does my bottom layer look straight?? Why didn’t she clean-cut my hair from the beginning? Is a clean cut different from a straight cut?? While I may be no hair stylist, one would rightfully assume that when she suggested a straight bottom cut, it would mean a clean-cut bottom, right? I know I’m not that stupid. I know she messed up because she was rushing for her next client and doesn’t want to admit it. Anyways, as soon as I noticed the bad cut, I emailed her. And she responded with how she did. Luckily, my sister was able to fix this, which is why I saw no point in going back to PK and wasting both our times, which was also why I asked for a refund instead. And I was not going to wait two weeks and walk around with this disaster on my head. I would have been happy with half or a third of the refund because my bangs still came out great despite everything else. I’ve had no issues with PK until now. I was disappointed in the haircut, but even more disappointed in how she responded to this. It’s not even about the refund anymore. It’s her response. For any new potential clients, just keep this in mind. PK remains only nice when you agree with everything she does, just never point out her mistakes on your head. You can see a pattern of how she responds to those types of things in another google review below mine.

I've come here a few times after trying to find a stylist who would be validating and actually knew how to cut and style hair, and PK has done all of that for me. I didn't quite know what haircut would suit me well going into my first appointment, but she was able to suggest styles and even gave me helpful tips for product and styling that have helped me way more compared to other tips I have received. Great location, great haircuts and styling, definitely would recommend.

Jul 05, 2024

PK has been my hair stylist for many years now and has been nothing short of awesome. She really understands my curly hair and probably will with yours too! I can't vouch for any styling but she always makes me feel dazzling and it's an experience I always look forward to.

Jul 05, 2024

PK will give you an absolutely amazing cut 🩷🏳️‍⚧️

Jul 05, 2024

Always an incredible experience. 10/10 every single time. Ive been coming to PK for years, and will never go to anyone else. I always recommend her to eveyone asking for an experienced colorist, and hairstylist she's the best out there!! Also, very fair pricing for the quality of the services you get.

Jul 05, 2024

Best hair. Best decor. Best laughs. PK does more than hair, she does confidence. After doing the most damage to my hair she helped me love it again and helps me still have fun with it!

I only did my own hair until I met Princess Kennedy a few years ago, and now I only go to her. I completely trust her with my hair. I also go to her because of her true inclusivity of the LGBTQIA+ community and other marginalized communities like the unhoused. She has been a focal strength for the trans community in SLC for a long time, and her work and attitude shows it.

Jul 05, 2024

Inclusive, fun space! Pk is an angel and always makes you feel special☺️

Jul 05, 2024

I’m pretty sure Princess Kennedy is the best colorist in the city. I have used her services since 2019 and it’s always a pleasure to see her. I’m a cis lady, but I don’t express my gender with the most high maintenance looks. I’m not the best about keeping up with my hairstyles, and PK always sets me up with a style that will grow out elegantly and not look like a total mess if I can’t make it in for another year. I feel very comfortable and safe in her salon and the fact that she brings her adorable, well-behaved dogs to the salon is a bonus. Highly recommend her for anyone on a gender confirmation journey or cis people who want to spend their money like an ally.

Jul 05, 2024

My best hairdresser Goddess who will make you feel like the best version of yourself. You will get excellent service and feel listened to. Let PK make your hair dreams come true!

Jul 05, 2024

PK is fast friendly and I have never had so many compliments on my hair! Also every time I see an awesome custom color job on someone, it’s always from PK!

Jul 05, 2024

PK is great! she was really helpful when i was pretty newly out and and my hair was a disaster and helped me find a great color and style. she just gets it, ive never felt judged or self conscious, even the time i had to come in on a hair removal day ☺️ her space is super cute and sugar and hennie are absolute sweethearts 🥰 🏳️‍⚧️🥰

Princess Kennedy is the best person to go to for a gender affirming haircut. She is quick, and amazing at what she does. She's wonderful to have a conversation with and she absolutely loves trans and lgbtq+ people of all kinds! I could not recommend her more.

Jul 05, 2024

Princess is AMAZING and very reasonably priced! I was nervous about finding a good hairstylist in Salt Lake. I have wavy hair and have had bad cuts from curly and straight hair stylists, but Princess gave me the exact cut I wanted! Also so fun and kind and has cute doggos! Go get your haircut at Salon. You won't regret it!

Jul 05, 2024

This place is awesome. I came here shortly after I started my transition with no idea how to take care of long curly hair, and Princess Kennedy not only did an amazing job cutting/styling, she also made sure I knew what I needed in order to take care of my hair at home.

Jul 05, 2024

Was my first ever salon i was brave enough to walk into and gods was it worth it!!! from the amazing cut to the perfect sculpting of my eyebrows to the conversation we had and the design of the space was so relaxing ive never felt more wanted and comfortable in ANY place of business as i did here!! plus it being IN the library was perfect for my partner who came with so they didnt just have to hurry up and wait while i was in Hair Heaven tm! theres so much more i could say but you just GOTTA go for yourself i swear its worth it

Jul 05, 2024

Wonderful service and a lovely environment. PK is so kind and an absolute delight, I love coming here

Jul 05, 2024

knows curly hair very well. never misgendered me which is a problem with many local hairdressers, hampers communication and introduces frustration.

May 05, 2024

PK was amazing, it was my first time there. They listened to what i wanted and even took the time getting to truly know my hair before cutting it. 10/10

Feb 05, 2024

Edit: I got my money back after a very unfinished cut so I'm deleting my full review. Would not recommend for any haircut requiring clippers. Use your own judgment based on the photos. I booked the hour and only got 20 minutes in the chair; very strange experience. I came back the next day during business hours to have it fixed but the shop was closed. I left a note genuinely asking if I'd done something to offend them and if that was why they didn't finish the cut and rushed me out.

Feb 05, 2024

Got a fantastic haircut despite my complete inability to communicate what I want. I'm pretty sure the style I said isn't what I got, but because I was saying the wrong style, she cut my hair almost exactly how I was picturing what I wanted in my head

Feb 05, 2024

PK is amazing and not only did my hair perfectly but taught me how to keep it that way. She’s beyond kind and helpful and super easy to talk to. Will be recommending her to literally everyone in my life including strangers on the street!

Feb 05, 2024

PK is an angel on this earth. And her majestic hair skills help me feel Royally Beautiful.

Feb 05, 2024

Still the best. My work relocated me to Oregon yet I come to Salt Lake to see Princess simply because she's so talented and a wonderful life force. A true artist. In addition, her studio is lively and has a great energy. I feel very fortunate to be a client here.

Feb 05, 2024

The best haircut with the friendliest hairdresser!

Feb 05, 2023

If you have curly hair, this is THE place to go!! PK is an absolute genius and not only gave me literally the best haircut I’ve had in my entire life, but also took the time to go over curly hair styling tips and tricks to maintain my unruly curls. I used to straighten my hair cause my curls were too much handle, but now my hair is so cute, the frizz is gone, it’s so much easier to deal with and I absolutely love the way my curly hair looks. 100% go to PK and get your hair done.

Feb 05, 2023

Kennedy is the absolute best. She took my effed up hair and gave me the bayalage of a lifetime. For real, she knows hair.

Feb 05, 2022

Amazing place amazing color!

Feb 05, 2022

Fav salon in the city.

Feb 05, 2022

I was a little nervous to get my hair cut and try out a new style but PK made me feel like she really cared about me and my worries. Her presence is really calming but energizing and she’s amazing at what she does. I cannot recommend the salon enough :)

Feb 05, 2021

Wonderful! Princess Kennedy cut my hair exactly the way I had in mind, and she was so fun to talk to! The atmosphere was excellent, as well.
