Editorial Review for Grasshopper – by Stephanie Laemoa
The Scene
Decorated with Southeast Asian prints and furniture, Grasshopper looks more like a shiatsu spa than a renowned South Park salon. Whether you're getting your hair washed in the back room among exotic plants, getting your ends snipped in the sunlight-drenched main room, or relaxing on the second-floor balcony, the atmosphere is always soothing and unpretentious.

User Reviews for Grasshopper

I decided to try Grasshopper and to see the owner as a I had been searching for a new hair stylist to replace my Ohio hair Goddess. A friend of mine had been seeing the Grasshopper owner for some time and my friends hair always looked nice. I had seen a few stylists in the city and instead of a pretty natural looking blond, I had a lot of red high and low lights. It was not good. My appointment started on time. The owner spent a large portion of the appointment on her cell phone making her dinner plans. In the end my hair was green (khaki versus hunter.) She was expecting me to come undone and for her to have to stay and correct the problem. When she saw the color I heard her call her friends and cancel dinner. I did not pitch a fit, but said fine and left. When I left, I had no idea how long the green color would haunt me. It was a very uniform green. I had a ridge of that color that could be seen for more than two years (until I had a chance to see said Ohio hair Goddess.) Beyond the immediate tears and such that come with a hair disaster, I had a lot of time to regret ever stepping foot in the salon. I would not recommend anyone that values their hair to visit this salon...unless green is the color you seek.
Pros: None
Cons: Green hair and years to remember the bad salon experience

I have been going to see Ashlee for a few months now. She pays attention to detail and does an excellent cut.
Pros: great staff
Cons: sometimes its not easy to find parking
