Ernie is the best – I looked many places for a colorist; and mostly got the brassy look that we all know. My hometown colorist told me to find a Goldwell Salon, and I am so thankful that I did! Ernie is an amazing colorist! He is so precise and will always make the color look natural. You can tell that he loves what he does and always has a smile waiting. He makes you feel so sepcial and relaxed, and I always leave happy. Yeah Ernie!

A kinder, gentler quality salon – When I first moved to town I tried a few different hair salons. I was willing to pay for good stylists and colorists. I went to several places that were uber-trendy, very expensive, and not that nice. In fact, several of them were mean to me, as if I was wasting their time! Taboo was welcoming from the beginning. The people who work there treat you right and generally want you to have a good experience. I go to Madison for my color and Erik for my cuts and styling. They are both fun and inte... read more

Excellent Salon: Amazing Stylist – If you have read the other reviews, you will easily see that Taboo is a highly rated salon, and Erik is a very talented stylist. I have seen 9 different stylists in 4 different cities over the past 5 years, and Erik takes the cake. He has cut my hair twice now, and both times he has done an amazing job! He really takes the time to make sure you are getting what you want, while also complementing your natural looks and style. And Taboo has a very friendly and comfortable atmosphere, with kno... read more

Best hair cut I have ever had and highly recommend Melody! – I highly recommend the salon. Melody was my hair stylist and it was the best cut. I live in Louisiana now and can't find anyone to cut my hair the same (even at expensive places). She did just what I wanted and the hair cut even grew out well; which is really weird. A+++

best hair color this side of the Mississippi – Ernie is one of the colorists here and the man is a GENIUS. i have followed him to three salons and now he's at Taboo. He gives me perfect, Jennifer Aniston-esque highlights every 3 months that are so good that no one knows I dye my hair. The salon itself isn't exactly chic, but it gets the job done, and with a smile. The only bummer is an awful parking situation, but Ernie's magic is utterly worth it.

Creative Artistry ... – is the best way to describe Eric and Madison at the TABOO Hair Salon! Eric is an artistic genius in the way that he will look at your overall 'style', face shape and listen intuitively to your wants and/or concerns in a haircut. The way he cuts, shapes and creates leaves a finished product which is absolutely "off the charts"! I have been to TABOO now 4 times and would not go anywhere else. Eric is definately at the top of his field and I recommend him to everyone!! Madison as a colorist is phenomenal... read more

pretty bad haircut – I would not recommend this place at all. I tried this place on a whim while I was passing by in the area and not only was the space unimpressive but more importantly the man who cut my hair had an unsteady hand. He seemed unsure and my haircut did not come out anything like I had wanted. Now my hair is unmanageable and looks horrible; I am desperately waiting for it to grow out so I can get it cut somewhere else. Word of advice...don't go here if you want a good haircut!!

Taboo, a great place! – In past three years, I had been looking for the right hairdresser. Got bad cuts from two hairdressers in Santa Monica. I felt so frustrated with myself for not finding one. Finally, I met her at a party briefly. She mentioned her job and I knew she must be the one. Went there yesterday to have Sandra to cut my hair. Yes, she is the right one! THUMBS UP! I will go to her from now on... smile!

I found a hairdresser! – it took forever, but i finally found a hairdresser i like. my friend had her hair colored at taboo by ernie & was happy with it. i called to set up an appointment with him for a cut, but found out he doesn't cut hair. i really needed a cut & the receptionist made an appointment with the next available stylist. i just needed a cut bad, so i didn't care who it was. but, kristen (sp?) was my stylist & she was great. she did a really great job & was very sweet. i've gone to more expensive places, but i j... read more
