Echo Salon Downtown Grand Rapids

EXTREME Caution: I had not done anything to my hair for nearly 10 years- “virgin hair” as my stylist put it “every stylist’s dream”. I had hair that went just shy of my butt crack. I had some blonde at the tips of my hair. I asked for her to bring the blonde highlights at the tips up but to keep my dark up top, I also very specifically ask to have only an inch cut off. Not only did she soak my back while washing out the color, she couldn’t get my hair straight and ended up chopping 4-5 inches off some hair now hardly covers my bra strap in the back, but she at the end goes “and I gave you some layers in the front”…. WITHOUT EVEN ASKING ME. Then to find out when it was dry that she didn’t color it at all how I wanted, she lightened everything and EVEN said before I left that my hair “hardly

Jess was not originally the hair stylist who was supposed to do my wedding hair, but after a few cancellations from the other one I was lucky enough to get her! Right away I could tell her passion and love for creating beautiful hair. She walked me through the process explained all the steps and what each product does/makes my hair feel like. By the end of my trial it felt like a friend was doing my hair and not someone I had just met. The day of the wedding she styled practically everyone in my wedding party and created a beautiful hair style for me, that I get to look back on every time I look at pictures. My hair can’t hold a curl to save its life, but somehow someway, she was able to make them last all night! If you’re thinking about booking with her, do it!

Jessica has been my stylist three times (most recently yesterday) and I have been so happy with the results each time! My second time she had just learned some new skills at a workshop in California and I lost track of how many times I got compliments on my new 'do! Alex has cut the wavy-curly hair of my son (16) and daughter (20) and they have both been very happy with their results as well! And everyone is always very friendly when we come to the salon. Keep up the good work!

I have been going to Echo Salon for at least 15+ years. I am always happy with my hair. Katie Nicole has always known how to work with my hair and how to teach me to work with my hair. She explains why she uses which product and what it might help me do. She can take inspiration photos and talk about what parts of them will work and not. She also does a great job on my eye brows. I fully recommend Echo!!!

Aly is amazing! She listens to what I want every appointment. She gets me as blonde as I ask while still prioritizing the health of my hair and helping repair prior damage. The salon is always clean and welcoming. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and thoughtful stylist!
