I had the most amazing experience at Siren Stylist! This was my first time ever getting hair extensions, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the results. Caitlin and Emily were both incredible—so knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely kind throughout the entire process. They made me feel com...pletely comfortable and took the time to explain everything, which meant a lot since this was all new to me. My hair looks and feels amazing, and the blend is so natural. I’m beyond impressed with their work and so grateful I found them. Highly recommend Siren Stylist—especially Caitlin and Emily. I’m officially obsessed with my hair! read more

After a very long and frustrating experience with my previous extensions, I finally found this salon—and I genuinely cannot say enough positive things about them. From the moment I walked in, both Emily and the owner were extremely warm, welcoming, and kind. After everything I had gone through, I wa...s honestly nervous and embarrassed about the condition of my hair and extensions. Instead of making me feel uncomfortable, they immediately reassured me and approached the situation with compassion and professionalism. They took the time to thoroughly assess what had been done to my hair and explain why I had been having so many issues. I appreciated their honesty and transparency. It was clear they truly cared about fixing the problem the right way rather than rushing through a service. When they began correcting my extensions, they were incredibly gentle and meticulous. They worked to properly color match and blend everything so it would look natural and cohesive—something I had been trying to achieve for months. The difference in quality was immediately noticeable, not just in the color but in the overall feel and health of the hair. What meant the most to me was how patient and understanding they were throughout the entire process. Emily and the owner both made sure I was comfortable, checked in frequently about how I was feeling, and made it clear that my satisfaction was their priority. I left the salon feeling like a completely different person. My extensions are now beautiful, perfectly matched, and exactly what I originally wanted—low maintenance, natural-looking, and healthy. I am extremely happy with the results and beyond grateful that I found a team that genuinely cares about their clients and the quality of their work. I highly recommend this salon to anyone looking for skilled, honest, and compassionate extension specialists. They truly turned a very upsetting experience into a positive one for me. read more

Very clean and cozy salon. Cheyanne did a color correction on my hair as well as a trim. She did a PHENOMENAL job! My hair was definitely not an easy fix. I had a lot of natural gray root grow out, brown box dye, lighter ends, band of darker brown and then natural brown. Even with all that I was ple...asantly surprised with the results. We both knew it is going to take a few visits to get where I want to be but my hair looks so much better after just the first visit. Was given a free consultation and strand test before deciding to move forward. She took her time and did an amazing job. I’m looking forward to continuing to work with her. 100000% recommend!! read more

Caitlin’s Salon is awesome! ! I fly from out of state to get my
Hair done with Great Lengths Fusions. I always feel welcome when I’m there all day. The place is clean & cozy. I look forward every 5 months going to visit & knowing I’m going to look amazing when I leave!:) 5 stars!!

Khristen is extremely knowledgable and efficient. She can meet you for the first time and know exactly what to do to make your hair look its best and correct anything that you thought your previous stylist was doing right. Thank you, Kristen!

The Girls are very sweet. I went in and got keratin bonds. I’m happy with the hair. I will soon return for a re-apply. I contacted them a few days ago. So waiting to hear back on when I can return.

I had an absolutely amazing experience getting my first human hair topper at the salon. I was a little nervous because I suffer with hair thinning, yet the salon was a welcoming and hospitable place! I am so pleased with the results. Worth the drive from Richmond!
While I didn't get extensions during my visit, I did get highlights, haircut and styled by Emily. She listened to what I wanted, did a fabulous job with my color and was so friendly.
They are amazing! I highly recommend them. My hair was thinning but it looks amazing now! The color match was perfect and I love my hair again!
Total transformation after losing my hair to chemo from breast cancer at 35 years old! I had lost so much and just wanted at least my hair back so I could feel like myself and these girls did it! What a boost to my confidence and happiness. Thank you!
Love love love Kristen!!! She always makes sure I have the most beautiful hair and is so so personable and positive. Best place to go!
She’s not only “a professional”, she’s THE professional. By far, the best K-tip extensions and color match I’ve ever had. Caitlin, thank you so much for helping me feel like myself again! I will definitely be returning ♥️.
I love this place. Caitlin is the best, warm, welcoming and professional. Everything she does is amazing! I love my extensions and the hair color!
Caitlin is amazing! I started going to her two years ago, and have been loving my long hair every day since! She did a great job assessing which kind of extensions would be best for my hair type (tape ins), and worked with me to match color and length. My hair always looks great when I leave the sal...on, and I adore the look she gives me as well as the low maintenance of tape in extensions. If you are even considering extensions a tiny bit, go visit Caitlin for a consultation! read more
Caitlin is the extension goddess. She transformed my over processed fine hair into beautiful, thick locks using great lengths hair extensions. I love it and my husband does, too. Check her out she will not disappoint. She’s a total badass!
Caitlin is one of the best hair stylist I have ever been to! I used her for all of my hair needs (fusions, tape ins, beaded wefts etc) and the magic she was able to pull off boosted my confidence like no other! My natural hair is very thin and fine. She was able to blend every extension in a way tha...t looked natural and beautiful (literally couldn’t tell I had extensions). read more
Had tape-ins installed with Caitlin. She did an amazing job and everyone at the salon is super nice and it\'s a very fun environment. After my complimentary consultation, I felt like I knew all the information that I needed and was able to book my install super easy. They are very upfront with costs... and what will be best on your hair type and style. My extensions blend so well, you can\'t even tell! I will definitely return again and again! read more
I had the best customer service ever. From the receptionist (I don’t remember her name) to Caitlin that did my hair. It was my first time having tape ins and it was beyond my expectations. I came for a consultation and Caitlin answered all my questions. I scheduled my appointment weeks later and I’m... in love with my hair! She did an amazing job. They even sent me a personal note with a coupon, what a great customer service. They don’t disappoint, if you are thinking to have extensions you should visit this place. They are all very professional and have great product. read more
Caitlin is absolutely fabulous!! I am always one for doing something wild with my hair, but she knew more about what I wanted before I did. We did what they ended up naming an "aquatic goddess" look. It was a deep blue with some light blue to throw a little pop in. I will post a picture when I get t...he opportunity! My extensions were "tape-in" and she blended them so well no one even knew I had them. They just looked natural! They are so personable there and when you come in to do something fun everyone in the salon is excited for your look, not just you! I will recommend her to absolutely anyone! Thanks for the hard work Caitlin you rocked it!!! read more

I’ve been seeing Caitlin for the past two years and I will never go to anyone else! She has brought back the life to my hair. I have fine, thin, hair that’s difficult to process with color. She has managed to make me happy every time I come to see her. I also love the rest of the staff. They’re welc...oming and cheerful every time I’m there. Thank you Caitlin you are amazing! read more
Caitlin is the best!! She has been doing my hair for years, and really knows her stuff. She is dedicated and extremely passionate and does whatever she can to ensure her clients leave happy! Every time she does my hair I'm more than thrilled. Plus, she's friendly and you never have to deal with that... awkward silence while waiting for your hair to process. She really takes the time to get to know you not only as a client, but as a person! read more
I was really nervous about getting extensions and did a lot research prior to getting extensions. This is by far the best place to go! Caitlin is amazing! She is knowledgeable and wants the best for her clients!
Caitlin cut my hair and did a color consultation. My hair looks beautiful and I am so excited for my dye job on Thursday! The salon is looks and smells amazing and I felt so comfortable chatting with Caitlin about what I wanted and about my life in general. This is definitely my new salon!
I've been sick since the beginning of 2018 so I lost a lot of hair due to all my meds. After lots of research, I decided I wanted to try keratin extensions to try to fill in my hair. I've never had extensions before (except the clip-ins for my wedding), so I was a little nervous at first, especially... since I have naturally curly hair. Caitlin walked me through everything I needed to do, and the girls at the front desk were awesome to answer any of my questions when I called. I told Caitlin I wanted the most keratin extensions possible, so she matched my hair, and did 30% of the extensions in an off shade to add some natural highlights to my hair. When I arrived for my appointment she was ready to go and took her time to make sure everything was perfect. She gave me a great shampoo to make sure my hair was super clean, then she dried my hair and got to work. I was worried that they'd be too heavy, or that it would be difficult to sleep. I have to say, it's a little heavier, but nothing like I imagined... I thought my head was going to feel weighed down and that's not the case. I purchased a satin sleep cap which definitely helped keep my hair from going all over when I sleep. When I saw my finished hair I was amazed at how natural it looked! I was originally going to cut it down to be shorter, but I think I like the long look and will keep it for awhile. I can't say enough good things about Caitlin! I feel fantastic, and I'm already getting lots of compliments on my hair! read more
Caitlin did an amazing job with my extensions!! My hair looks amazing!! I will defiantly be returning. Everyone at the salon was so friendly and very helpful.
Caitlin is amazing!! She has done my hair for years, and she always delivers on my picky requests! Thank you Caitlin for helping me love my hair and step outside the box!
Caitlin is a great stylist and I always leave feeling beautiful! Whether it's just a cut, cut/color or my hair for my wedding it always turns out just how I want!
