The Bad Kittie Salon in Denver, CO

On a whim, I booked an appointment at the Bad Kittie Salon with Miro. I am nothing but overjoyed with the eccentric salon..but more with the fabulous, kind and compassionate stylist, Miro. Miro took the time, cared about my hair needs, gave me the cut and color that I truly needed and wanted. Thank you for the amazing highlights and cut. But, thank you for being a kind and wonderful human. Kudos, to Miro and Bad Kittie. You are a gem and have gained my new loyalty.

I went to The Bad Kittie Salon last Friday because of a terrible box color incident. William was able to not only get me to a beautiful shade of blonde but he also gave me a killer haircut as well. My expectations for my hair were far exceeded. I will definitely be back!

I feel bad for leaving a poor review especially since I was really looking for a new place to call home for my hair. I called and spoke with William and booked an appt with him. I showed him a few photos of what I wanted/had in the past. He insisted that he'd do the hair I showed him, but with his own twist to it and that I'd like it. He was so confident that it made me feel at ease initially. After I got home, I took a careful look at the layers underneath where I noticed spotted layers of light orange, and the front money piece was very much pink. In summary, it was not what I wanted.

I called back and was told that he would fix it. I came back a second time with high hopes and a positive attitude that it would work out this time. I showed William the photos again that I had before and tried to over communicate with him what I wanted. After showing William the pictures I had showed him previously - I was first met with a little resistance, he claimed I wasn't showing him the same photos that I did before (I have a specific album comprised of photos of how I've colored my hair with the same red bayalage I've done for almost a decade - I don't stray from it) but after showing him enough photos it seemed to have jogged his memory and he fell silent. He seemed eager to make it right which I REALLY appreciated(which is why I tipped him again at the end of our appointment for the 'correction'), however I do feel there was still a miss in communication or perhaps, just a lack of know how on what I wanted done. From the pictures posted here, you can see what I wanted was far from what I got. In the photos is the second attempt was still blotchy and unevenly streaked work. In addition, even though I'm not tender headed, William was really rough on my hair while brushing it while wet. He hurt my scalp too and even worse, I feared my fragile ends took a beating. He brought it up himself that he works on hair like he works on cars, a rough hand indeed. :( I will say that he did ask me if it hurt, and at first, it didn't and I told him I wasn't tender headed. I felt like maybe that gave the false green light to brush harder or not to worry about being gentle. With that said, I feel like any professional stylist would maintain a gentle, easy hand with any/all clients regardless of how tender headed or not they were.

I would like to say that I'm sure this salon has many great stylists and that William is talented at many other styles and cuts, but it just wasn't the right fit for what I wanted as a client.

Hands down the worst experience I've ever had while getting my hair done. It was also my first time leaving a salon in tears. After having my son a few weeks ago, I decided to treat myself to a relaxing salon experience. Given all the positive reviews for Bad Kittie, I thought I would have a great experience here.
William did my hair on May 17. I asked for vibrant copper red with blonde money pieces. However I got muted brown with blonde money pieces. He yelled at me for sitting with my legs crossed, which has never happened before. While my money pieces were being bleached, my scalp started burning. He got defensive when I said something "It's just your scalp. I've been doing this for years." While my color was processing, he continuously ripped the brush through my tangled hair (from the dye). He smelled of cigarettes the entire appointment. Huffed the entire time he was doing my hair and made me feel like a burden. At the end of the appointment he said "You just have bad hair." The other stylist Piper that was working seemed absolutely lovely. Sadly I will not be returning however. I was so excited to try Bad Kittie, but ultimately I ended up leaving disappointed.
Over the weekend I went to another salon in Denver. The experience was peaceful, I didn't feel like a burden and my hair color was fixed.

I feel I should prelude--In the history of my hair I have only let my Mami cut & assist in coloring my hair and for the first time did some self care and found this wonderful place that I absolutely ADORE!!

It was a big process that was so relaxing and fun!!  Even a the best care for toner touch up before my vacation.  Thank you Lora for seeing my vision and going even further by accomplishing my dreams of becoming a ginger!!
Then the cut?!?! I love LOVE it and even got the BIG approval from my Mami.  Done!  Beyond the moon!!!
