Inspire At The Grainery 128 North Warren Street, Syracuse, NY 13202

"Emily always does a great job with my hair and I love chatting with her too! Everyone at the Grainery is so friendly and fun to be around. Plus I appreciate the complementary bang trims. The cherry on top is the beautiful aesthetic and interior design. Tipping my head back into the hair washing basin to look up at the chandeliers always makes me feel so fancy!"

"This is a review of a stylist employed by the salon, not the salon. I’ve never written a Google review, but had a really negative experience with Emily W. I booked her in June 2021 for my wedding in June 2022. She opted to have me book with her personally. When I reached out to her in April 2022, she said she’d switched to a new salon (this one) and that they had since booked her for another wedding on the same date. She apparently hadn't told them she was already booked. In this communication she said she could still do my wedding, just later in the day. At the end of May she reached out again and dropped out. She didn't successfully find a replacement and implied I was somehow at fault for booking with her directly a year out (as she had requested). She was incredibly unprofessional - and spoke badly of her other client (the other bride). The whole experience was frustrating. I'd been excited to work with Emily, but if you’re looking for someone you can rely on for your wedding, look elsewhere."

"Emily did my hair for my wedding party and she was fantastic! She did a beautiful job and was a joy to work with from my trial appointment all the way up to my wedding day."

"Such a cute salon with the kindest staff. I’ve only had Emily work on my hair, but she has become my go-to hair stylist since I moved to the area. She’s the only person I trust with shears to my hair!"

"I did a last minute search for local hair salons because I wanted to get my red color freshened up before major events I had lined up. I sent a message though the site and received a prompt response in under 24 hours, which I was super grateful for as I was hoping to get in soon. Claudia got me in with Emily. I was super impressed because I've been coloring my hair red for 4 years; she was meticulous and careful as she applied the color--all done in a timely fashion. The end result was best I've had in quite some time. Overall, a great salon with kind people, a wide-range of services, and well accommodated."
