The Hair Bar

The Hair Bar is at 130 W. Mill Street in the historic district of downtown Waterloo. It works by appointment only, and booking starts with an online consultation form, after which clients choose their services and are booked. Color services must be booked together with a haircut or a blowout. The salon can be reached by phone at (618) 217-0130.

Stylists are independent and set their own prices, so the listed figures are starting points for existing clients. Express cuts start at $45 and Luxe cuts at $75, or $100 with gloss. Partial custom color starts at $230 and full custom color at $300. The Tresola keratin treatment starts at $250, and the salon says it lasts up to three months, with an extra charge for long or thick hair. Extension pricing is set by consultation. Waxing is offered for brows, lips and chin, and a Certified Massage Therapist has been added to the services.

MicroLines is the salon's hair integration system, designed to blend with natural hair for fullness and scalp coverage, with a focus on the part and crown. Its consultation covers hair goals, lifestyle, maintenance, desired coverage and budget, and the salon describes these consultations as confidential. The system is worn continuously and needs maintenance every three to four weeks. It can be washed and heat styled, and it can be worn alone or with extensions. Pricing depends on hair length, density, customization and overall needs. The salon also sells Evo hair care products for use at home.

Works by appointment, with each stylist setting their own prices and extension and MicroLines plans shaped by a consultation first.

The salon describes its setting as chic and modern.
