How does your referral program work?

We have a referral program in which you refer someone and you both receive $20 off your next service. You can also talk with your stylist about lower maintenance haircuts and colors.

What if I don’t know what haircut will suit me?

Our hairstylists are trained to consider face shape, features, hair type, styling needs, etc. when cutting hair. They offer a thorough consultation to give you the best look for you and your lifestyle. We are happy to assist you in finding you a style and recommend an array of Aveda products on how to maintain/style.

How do I know if I need a conditioning treatment?

Conditioning treatments can scheduled with every service and are highly recommended by our stylists for any hair type, texture, and length. The best time to schedule one is when you are getting color or highlights.

What is Gordon Salon’s cancellation/rescheduling policy?

We know life happens! Please make every effort to cancel/reschedule your visits at least 24 hours beforehand so that we can fill your spot with another client’s desired service.

Should I wash my hair before my appointment?

That depends on the service you have scheduled. If you are hoping for a special occasion style, refer to your stylist; though typically coming with clean, dry hair works best. For hair color and haircuts, washing your hair beforehand is usually unnecessary.

If you are wanting a dry haircut, please come with clean, dry hair.

All of our stylists are experienced and highly education in both cut and color. We recommend speaking to one of our salon coordinators who can match you with a stylist that best suits your needs.

Schedule a complimentary consultation, giving you and your stylist the opportunity to go over any questions and concerns you may have and determine what will work best. We use VoMor extensions; prices vary based on how many boxes are needed.

Clients pay for the extensions themselves and the service to apply them.
