Lunatic Fringe

Go here.

So I've lived all over the place and my salon choices have run the gamut--everything from at home disasters to a hot shot, overpriced, fancy-schmancy Orange County salon. I'm new to this area, and thought I'd do some research online before picking a new salon. I read good reviews about Lunatic Fringe, particularly the Parley's location, so I made an appointment. It was fabulous! It has all of the perks of a fancy, trendy salon without the stuff you hate. They were all very friendly and accommodating (tons of magazines, drinks, etc.). The stylists are trendy but you don't look at them and think that they've been fooling around with their hair way too much and look ridiculous (this is rare in my experience). They ask each other advice and you can tell that they genuinely enjoy working together and want to help each other out. They also have a no gossip policy! How cool is that? If only the Clinique counter would follow suit!

Their products work and smell great, and the scalp and neck massage is worth the price. Alex G. said she wanted to give me the best haircut I ever had, and I'm convinced! She really listened to what I want and gave great suggestions. I have received tons of compliments!

So, in short, stop looking. Go here. It's kind of pricey, but not compared to a lot of other places in the country (if that makes you feel better). Ask for Alex--you won't regret it! I wish I needed my hair cut more often..seriously.

• Pros: What an all around great afternoon!
• Cons: ---

Best all around salon and stylists

by MC1125 at Citysearch

People in Utah think there are very few options for ethnic hair. You can find one of the very best at Lunatic Fringe on Parleys. Celeste Whitfield has chosen to make this her specialty but she excels at everything she does! You will love her personality as much as her talent. This salon offers an amazing atmosphere of teamwork. Everyone there is constantly helping each other out and just being a big group of best friends. As a client, you feel included in their circle. I've been going to Celeste for about a year and have never left the salon not feeling so much prettier than when I came in. I look forward to the shampoo (head massage) almost as much as the color, cut and style. Love her!!!!!

• Pros: Professionalism, teamwork
• Cons: None

Best in ethnic hair!

by Nae nae at Citysearch

I am a transplant to Utah from Michigan. I have been searching for years for a stylist that not only understands my hair, but also is well trained and knowledgible. I hit the jackpot when I called Lunatic Fringe on Parleys Way. I asked did they have any stylists confortable in ethnic hair and they immediately referred me to Celeste Whitfield. The minute I met her I felt comfortable. I had my hair colored and cut. The entire time I could tell she knew exactly what she was dealing with and she reinforced me by continually giving me information and facts that supported how she was treating my hair. By the end of my appointment, my hair looked and felt better than it ever has. She took great care in making sure everything was exactly as I wanted it. I'm so excited I found her in the SLC!!! No one else will ever touch my hair :)

• Pros: best costumer service and atmosphere

GO HERE!

by marstay at Citysearch

I have had problems with my hair my whole life. I've been to many salons and no one seems to understand my hair. I was told to go to Margie by a friend so I did. Not only did she give me an awesome color and cut, she also took the time answer all my questions and help me understand my own hair. She really made me feel like my hair was important to her. I was worried I wouldn't be able to make my hair look as nice as she made it look but she took the time to teach me how to take care of it and style it better myself so now I can do it at home. If you're looking for a stylist go to Margie, she is the best!

• Pros: My stylist!
• Cons: 0

My hair looks amazing!!

by Ellaa23 at Citysearch

I pass Lunatic Fringe on my way to work and decided I would give it a try. I didn't know anyone there when I called but I got an appointment with Margie. Not only was the service amazing but I finally found a hairstylist I trust. She asked me a bunch of questions and got pretty specific with me so that she and I were thinking the same thing. She gave me her opinion and even got the opinion of some of the other stylists there. I got VIP treatment and I loved that my hair was important enough to her that she took her time to do an awesome job and took the time to show me how to style my hair, the way she did, when I have to do it myself. I've had so many compliments since then. I absolutely LOVE my hair. Thanks Margie!

• Pros: Awesome service
• Cons: nothing

Best men's haircut in Salt Lake

by kg328 at Citysearch

As a guy I always feel uncomfortable getting my hair cut, but at Lunatic Fringe on Parleys way, I felt at home and relaxed. The atmosphere at the salon is nice but casual, and you are always greeted warmly. Hair stylist Soula has become my hair guru. I never really put too much thought into the appearance of my hair, but after a few appointments with her I now condition and treat my hair regularly. Her scalp massages are amazing, and I always leave looking great. For your next hair appointment try Lunatic Fringe on Parleys way and ask for Soula, you will not be disappointed.

• Cons: none!

Best Stylists!

by mkwhig at Citysearch

I have heard that Lunatic Fringe is the best salon in Salt Lake City, and I can truly attest to that now. Lexi Wallis did my hair, and it has never looked so good! I will never go to anyone else as long as I am here. I highly recommend her. She is especially great with coloring! The salon itself is also great.

• Pros: Lexi Wallis, stylist!
• Cons: none!

Best Salon in SLC!!!

by grneyes2846 at Citysearch

After reading the excellent comments I decided to try it out! I went to Alex who was amazing. We sat talking for about 10 minutes about what we were going to do, what color I would like and what I did and did not like about my hair. She offered me water while I was waiting for her to mix the color up and spent the whole 3 hours focusing on me and my hair. I have been to a few hairdressers that fit as many clients into their schedule as possible and leave you with wet hair! Alex did just the opposite, she spent time making me look beautiful and even curled my hair after she had styled it! All I can say is WOW! They even have a "lather lounge" that is quiet and separate form the music-filled salon that felt like heaven when I had my hair washed and a warm towel put over my forehead. The only thing that was kind of different about this salon is everyone is helping everyone else in the salon. People in training would come over and help pass the foils over for the weave, a gentelman helped blowdry my hair and the same gentleman helped wash my hair all while Alex was working on the other side of my hair. I have never had that kind of treatment before which was kind of different to me but I guess in all it helped me get out a little bit sooner. Also, at the end of my appointment they had at least 5 different products on the shelf to purchase which they had used in my hair earlier. It was nice because I did not feel pressured to buy them yet they were written down for me just in case I would like to buy them next time. This is was my first appoinement and I feel I will be back. I have long blonde hair and the blonde color was gorgeous and Alex actually got the color down to my roots so I left feeling like a blonde bombshell! I definitely recommend this salon and would go see Alex. It is a little pricey, but you get what you pay for! Hope this helps everyone else in search of a new salon!

• Pros: Parking, ease of scheduling an appointment soon, great stylist
• Cons: Loud music was sort of annoying!

They will sit down with you and make sure they know exactly what you want. Everyone that works there is very friendly and professional. I would highly recommend Lunatic Fringe to anyone that takes their hair seriously. Best in SLC by far!!!

Jeff is AMAZING!!!

by buzzkiller801 at Citysearch

I have gone to jeff for about two years now. I moved to San Diego about a year and a half ago and I make special trips to SLC to see him. He is so passionate and creative i leave the cut and color ideas up to him. I am always very impressed with his work.

I get so many compliments on my hair all of the time, so many that i have referred people who live in San Diego to him.

Jeff you rock!!!
