Good Salon but Crowded by Katrina K. at InsiderPages

I was satisfied with the hair cut and services that I received at Salon 1800. The only issue is that it is really crowded and loud. It wasn't a relaxing experience, there was a lot going on around me and it...

High quality salon & spa services by Joan J. at InsiderPages

Some of the best haircuts I've ever had have been at this salon. I usually ask for a mid-priced stylist, and they have all been excellent. The manicure/pedicure experience has also been very good, very clean...

Upset

I have been going to the Old Town Salon 1800 since September (I live right near it, so I began going out of convenience). While I like the woman who they assigned to do my hair, I don't think she is very good...

Over nearly 30 years of salon-going - from the San Francisco Bay Area to New York to Chicago - I've never experienced worse front desk personnel than at Salon 1800. After one year, I was still treated like a...

Convenient, but not friendly

I live only a block away, so this Salon gets my business because of location. The receptionists always make me feel as though I am intruding when I check-in or out. The prices are very high and the quality of...

Action packed salon

Great location, but awfully crowded, Salon 1800 has both positives and negatives. Lots of talented stylists, but too many customers - a saturday appointment is anything but relaxing. But you'll get a good...

Oh please!

The staff, not stlyists are a bratty bunch of lazy 20-somethings. The place just sucks. It is overpriced and the service is horrible. When my stylist left, I left.
