Client Shout-outs

  • “What an experience! This salon is beautiful. The owner, Brittany, was a delight and greeted me as soon as I stepped through the door. Elise is the absolute best stylist I have ever had. It was a true spa experience with scalp massage and hot towels. They have complimentary snacks and drinks for clients to enjoy. I cannot say enough good things about Prism! They also carry multiple hair care lines including my favorite, Unite. Another added bonus is the location and ample parking lot! If you are looking for a salon stop looking and run to Prism!”

  • “I’ve been going to Ryann for the past year and a half and have LOVED the final result every time! I always go in for a drastic change and she is amazing at helping to guide you to the best new look. She is always fun to talk to, helpful, and truly talented with what she does. I always leave her chair feeling so much more confident than when I walked in ♥️”

  • “After YEARS of searching for someone who could style/manage my fine curly hair, I finally found the best curl stylist right here in Richmond! If you’re looking for a professional curly cut, I highly recommend Christa! I will literally never go to anyone else for a curl cut as long as she’s in business.

    I also highly recommend the salon owner, Brittany, for coloring. I have had the worst luck when it comes to coloring my hair. Brittany was very attentive to my thoughts & ideas, as well as provided her own, and answered all of my questions when it came to SAFELY and EFFECTIVELY coloring my curls. The outcome was beautiful and beyond my expectation!

    10/10 would recommend their services!”

  • “I had such a great experience with Sydney!

    I was in town for a few days visiting family and needed to fix a bad cut that wasn’t growing out well. Sydney listened to my hopes, offered excellent advice, and I’m beyond thrilled with the finished result. Highly recommend!”

  • “I’ve been coming to PRISM for several years now at both locations and I have nothing but positive things to say. I always leave feeling fabulous and absolutely love all of the colors and cuts I’ve had over the years (I’ve had a lot - from brunette to blonde!) Brittany is a very talented stylist and takes sincere pride in her work and genuinely cares for her staff. The stylists at BOTH locations are fantastic, kind, and professional. Special shoutout to Alex as I’ve watched her grow through her apprenticeship to a full time stylist and she is also incredibly talented. Love my PRISM peeps and will not go elsewhere! ❤️❤️❤️ Not sure what is going on with these other recent reviews but they sound like a personal issue that should be addressed outside of dragging a salon’s reviews down.”

  • “I RECOMMEND THIS PLACE , they have really nice products! And along with that they leave your hair feeling so healthy. I love how they did my hair! They literally grabbed like a magic wand and got rid of all my dead hair and they didn’t do my hair short they left it at the same length 😍”

  • “Prism is absolutely fantastic! It was such a welcoming environment as soon as I walked through the doors and check in was super easy. Shannon was an absolute joy, she made me feel super comfortable during the consultation and throughout my time there. The hair wash was amazing and my hair was cut exactly how I wanted it. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here and will be coming back again!”

  • “I am in love with this salon 🥹 Although the location is not necessarily close to my home, I discovered Drew via his amazing work on Instagram. Specializing in reds & in need of a new colorist, I made an appointment a week before my birthday!😬 I was so happy with the results and was so comfortable throughout the entire process. We made a follow up appt 10 weeks later, which was yesterday and I am in loveee with my hair. The dimension & attention to detail is perfect. I believe I have found my new stylist 🤙🏼 Drew is very intelligent, informative and has a lovely & bubbly personality. I have truly enjoyed both of my experiences here & am so excited for my next appt! The entire staff is friendly, welcoming and they all work as a team seeming more like family than coworkers. Very clean & welcoming establishment.”

  • “I went to Prism and Chelsea was AMAZING! I had been feeling pretty down about my hair and for the first time in years I feel beautiful with my hair. I also loved how she embraced me wanting to blend my grays instead of coloring it over. She is also hysterical and had me laughing the whole time. I will definitely be going back.”

  • “I recently visited Prism Hair Salon in Richmond and had an incredible experience with Brittany. She was amazing! I got both a hair color and a great haircut, and I’ve received so many compliments on my new look.

    Brittany is very passionate about her work and it shows. She takes her time to ensure everything is perfect and her attention to detail and expertise really stood out. I couldn’t be happier with the results. Highly recommend!”
