The Color Bar 1402 Gause Boulevard, Slidell, LA 70458

"I debated on writing this review, but decided today that it’s the right thing to do. I don’t appreciate being judged upon entering a room. No one does, but that’s what happened to me when I booked a color and cut here. Things turned around and I really like my hair, but I have to share my experience. I believe her name was Samantha - I was booked with her in November and as soon as she saw my BEAUTIFUL hair or maybe it was just because of my skin color, she froze up and declined to do my hair. It’s 2023, why hire or rent booths to stylists with limited hair experience and customer service skills? Imagine how that made me feel. My hair is fine and naturally has a very loose curl/wave pattern - literally anybody could have this hair type bc it’s rather ambiguous and dare I say easy hair to manage IF you know what you’re doing. She made me feel rejected and I even advised her to stick around and watch Caitlyn (I think was her name) so she can learn and not be such a limited stylist. She definitely left though! Now, the lady who graciously stepped in and did an amazing job is the other reason I had to leave this review. I want to say thank you for showing up for me and giving me what I wanted. I absolutely LOVE my color and cut. To the owner, I know you’re not local anymore, but Slidell is extremely diverse and there’s lots of ambitious, kind, and well rounded people in the area. Please prioritize diversity in experience and inclusivity at your salon. Samantha ain’t it!"

"Samantha Batchelor is my go to for a mens haircut. I can sit in her chair and feel confident that I will leave with a great haircut ever time!"

"If you have anxiety on if the stylist is going to mess your hair up (like a lot of them do) worry no more. This salon has so many talented hair stylists. I’ve been coming here for about 6 months and every time, Brooke has hit 100. Look no more. You won’t regret if. These ladies are talented and down to earth."

"Samantha was Amazing . She saved me money by caring more About the health of my hair then the money she could of made by doing it the way I wanted it bleached . Thank you for really caring about your customers hair and not just the money My hair is feeling so HEALTHY TO YOU CARING ABOUT MY HAIR !! YOU ALL ROCK !!!"

"A long overdue cut!!! My hair was long and damaged!! Stephanie fixed me up and did exactly what I wanted! I think I finally found a stylist for good. I am so in love. The salon was clean. The atmosphere was so chill. And I also got my brows waxed by Gigi and she was gentle and didn't leave my skin red and inflamed. Great experience."
