Nicole was amazing, super easy to work with. Haven't had a cut in a very long time and she made the experience quick, painless and comfortable. I'll be coming back to this spot for sure!

I have been seeing Tess at Shear Excellence since I moved to SLC in the beginning of spring this year. Not only do I leave the salon feeling sooo good, but she is so fun to talk to and is very down to earth and relatable! Best haircut I’ve probably ever have gotten. She also has amazing knowledge on great hair care and natural beauty products, which I love. Go see her, you will not be disappointed!!!

I love going to Shear Excellence and have been getting my hair cut there for over a decade! It’s such a joy every time I have an appointment with Nicole (Hirase). Every staff member is highly experienced and extremely welcoming. If you want a hairdresser who’s like a friend or a part of your family, Shear Excellence is for you!

Ari is a master at her craft. I would never go to anyone else. She’s been doing my hair for 7 years now and I have no plans of ever switching!

A great salon and even better stylist! Meg was awesome, I am so happy with my cut and would absolutely recommend her. I have long and heavy hair that I like to spend as little time as possible on. Meg worked her magic and gave me a beautiful haircut with a style that could not be easier to maintain. 💁‍♀️

I don't think I could've experienced anything worst. I called around to check prices of getting my hair colored an all around black and a small trim. When calling shear excellence, I was quoted $138 plus a potential small extra in case extra color bowls are used by the phone receptionist for the hair stylist shaelyn, this included trim and color. Based off the location and similar pricing at other salons I decided to go with shear excellence because the receptionist was extremely helpful. The day of the appt I show up extremely excited for a new color and cut and discuss to shaelyn my ideas of all around warm brown- black color and a very small trim. She then tells me it will be $170 plus $50 for a trim. Unsure of why there was such a huge price discrepancy and completely caught off guard of how it went from $138 to $220 I explained my prior excitement and the reason I called so many places is truly I'm a student on a budget and was trying to avoid just this. She leaves after saying hold on and I wait 40 minutes with no idea what is happening. The owner,Lisa, comes out to assure me they will do it at a discounted rate but instead of color will use a gloss. I explain my uncomfortability with never having my hair dyed this way as I die it black every summer but with the owners reassurance I continue anyway. Two and a half hours past the time I've arrived shaelyn blow dries my hair only to find my hair is only slightly darker and nowhere close to the warm black I was wanting. I bring this up and ask what our plan is to make my hair black and again she says hold on and leaves without any further communication. Another 30 minutes pass and I am extremely uncomfortable, hungry and have been there for far too long. I turn to the side where the owner is working on someone's hair filled with extreme anxiety and ask what is happening several times. To which the very beginning of ignoring me she then turns to say they are making more bowls of actual color this time. I can feel the staff are turning extremely unwelcoming to me. Another stylist who never introduced herself but later found out is Selby is probably where the experience turned to me ending up in a salon for five hours and crying. She was the most unwelcoming individual. She approaches me with no introduction, splits my hair down the middle and starts slapping black dye all over my hair very quickly and consequently it gets all over my face. She asked "so what made you choose black?", as she is literally tugging on my hair to lengthen the dye along my strands of hair and shaelyn returns to do the other side of my head with her bowl of black dye. I explain while also trying to wipe half of the black dye that is dripping on my face. I ask if they could clean up some of the black dye as I feel uncomfortable and selby says "because you keep touching it it will stain and that's what happened because that's the beauty of black" in a very sarcastic and condescending tone. I sat in this salon for 5 hours of which I told the owner and another master stylist after completely crying while just wanting my hair black that I have NEVER felt so unwelcome, or even at some points like I was being sabotaged. I'm not sure how this was such a mission but I have never experienced something so awful. By the end of the day my hair turned out jet black not the warm black I was wanting and it was 5 hours and my whole day off was gone. I am also still somehow washing out black dye in the shower. I do not recommend this place.

I have been going to Amber for many years for waxing and pedicures. She’s absolutely the best! She’s always meticulous, paying attention to the small details that make her work so excellent. A truly exceptional esthetician! Thank you Amber!

I see Marcelle Hopkins and she is fabulous. I like to change my hair a lot; any haircut, color, fashion colors. Marcelle never disappoints. 10/10 definitely recommend

Lana is the best! I get so many compliments on my hair. I won't go anywhere else!

Feb 05, 2024

Lana was excellent! She did a fenominal job on my hair color. I love it! She has a good amount of experience and it shows with her little tricks of the trade.

Meg Hansen is absolutely FABULOUS with color and I am so HAPPY to be her client!

Feb 05, 2024

Megan did a great job chopping my hair and adding some amazing caramel coloring that isn't brassy. Would definitely recommend her!

Feb 05, 2024

Megan is the best hairdresser I have had! I don’t ever leave responses but she is so in tune to me as her customer but gives her advice and very attentive to what your goal is! I recently had her cut off my long loved hair and as it is a scary thing to do she was perfect at making it an easy transition and also reassuring in the process! all around great human! ESPECIALLY see her if you struggle with long thick hair because she knows exactly how to take the weight out of it but her special techniques!

Feb 05, 2024

Megan is wonderful to work with and my hair came out fantastic! It was just what I wanted!

Feb 05, 2024

Pampered and feeling posh after my first visit. Thanks @ Marcelle for your service and honesty with my hair goals.

Feb 05, 2024

SO happy I found Shear Excellence! I was so bored with my hair and really needed help with the cut and color. Meg has been excellent! Very personable and very good at what she does. Absolutely love the interior of this salon as well. Highly recommend!

I love Shear Excellence Hair Salon! It's a charming local salon, and their senior colorist and hair cutter, Ari Eye, is my absolute favorite! I've been going to her for 3+ years because she is highly knowledgeable, experienced, kind and gentle. She also uses natural and premium hair products, making it a truly exceptional experience.

Loved working with Heidi. I have super thin hair and I wanted some extensions. She worked with me to get the best style for my hair. She even helped me with last minute addition of extra hair. Highly recommend Heidi for all your hair and stymying needs.

Meg is a fantastic stylist! I travel from Park City because she is so good. And I thoroughly enjoy her as a person. It’s well worth the trip.

Feb 05, 2024

Such a cute salon! Clean, bright, efficient, welcoming and so friendly. Nicole is the best!!!

Be sure to book with Megan Hansen. She is some kind of color savant with a knack for knowing exactly what color and style your face needs. She is an educator with Purelogy and is always learning about new products. Also if you have curly hair - she is an expert!

Feb 05, 2023

Go see Megan she is the best!!!! She is so kind & considerate with what I’m wanting! She is a true artist! I have long thin hair and she always has me leaving with long beautiful layers and is magic with color. I love her!!
