Gallery Salon

Love the décor and the environment!!! Kendra is amazing and so much fun to see! She listens to what I want and always delivers. I trust Kendra’s opinion so I usually give her free range to do what will look the best and she never disappoints!

I followed Nikki here from another salon, she is hands down the best colorist in Rochester! The salon is beautiful and features the work of local artists and jewelers. I’ve also had several gel manis from Halley and she’s great as well, just had to give my thin nails a break recently. You definitely get what you pay for here!

I came here for the first time yesterday, after being referred by a friend. I had my hair done by Angela P, and she was awesome. She was friendly and offered me a beverage as soon as I arrived.
I was feeling brave, and said «do whatever you want, you are the professional, I trust you, just don’t give me a pixie cut».
She took a ton of hair off, but I love it, I think that she really styled a cut that goes with my face shape well.
When you book an appointment with a stylist, you can look at the «our family» section on the website, and the prices of each stylists’ services are listed.
I will be coming back for future transformations.

Great, simple mani-​pedi. It lasted with no chips through a trip to Puerto Rico! Fair color selection. Great atmosphere. Will go again.

Amy is great!

Excellent atmosphere, great stylists, superb customer service. I know it might not seem like much, but I really appreciate getting a reminder phone call the day before. When your schedule gets hectic it is easy to forget. Make sure you make an appointment ahead of time though, as most of the stylists are booked a few weeks out.
Ask for Amy Pink, she has always taken great care of me.

I needed a last minute trim before vacation and of course, my usual stylist was fully booked. Now, I have a lot of horror stories from my last minute «random» stylist/​salon choices (you think I would have learned to plan ahead by now). So, I was hesitant to try a new stylist. After reading the 5 star reviews of Gallery Salon, my decision was made.
Gallery Salon is hands down one of the most beautiful salons I have ever set foot into. Modern, industrial tones with warm lighting created a calm and relaxing setting.
Even though I was a few minutes late, my stylist never showed any annoyance and got to work right away. I explained I wanted a simple trim and touch up on layers. She efficiently trimmed my hair the length I wanted (thank God… I had a «stylist» who thought cutting off an inch meant giving me a bob… a story for another time).
Then, instead of just blowing my hair out, she pulled out a curling iron. I got a little nervous. Stylists in Rochester are very fond of giving me tight curls to make me resemble a not so cute brown Shirley Temple. I couldn’t see what she was doing and figured I should give her a shot. Unfortunately, I wish I hadn’t. I ended up with the same tight curls I feared.
At this point, I had to get back to work and I figured I could just brush them out in the car. At checkout, I was informed my total was $ 45 (before tip). Their website states haircuts are $ 32+ so this was more than I expected. I realized I should have asked how much the stylist charged when I made my appointment so I just paid without saying anything.
Overall, I don’t think the simple trim I got was worth what I paid. Hairstyle preferences vary widely and I just didn’t connect with this stylist on that level.
When I am ready for a radically different hairstyle, I might try making an appointment with one of the other stylists. The manicure/​pedicure area looked inviting so I will be trekking it there to treat myself on a cold winter day.
However, I will be sticking to my regular stylist for now (and getting better at planning ahead!)

Love this place. I finally made the switch to a new stylist after a lot of grumbles on my end (I’m very particular about my hair… New stylists make me nervous… Perhaps it’s PTSD from that one time a new hairdresser gave me bangs and I looked like Garth from Wayne’s World for 6 months…).
Anyway, I made an appt to see Amy Pink and she is one hell of a rockstar. She is so speedy and thorough with her highlighting. She knows what she’s doing and will offer relevant suggestions to help you look your best. Let’s be real, she’s the pro here so I followed her advice. And it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. I still get an amazing style without breaking the bank.
The salon itself is adorable, very spacious since they moved to Elton St. It’s like a mini-​gallery (hah, get it) with the art and décor lining the exposed brick walls. You’ll feel right at home here — everyone is chit chatting with each other and having a good time. I could have spent the day there. They might even give you a glass of wine too — then the fun really begins. That’s my ultimate relaxation time. I want to enjoy a haircut — you feel refreshed and renewed after so you might as well have a fun time while you get there and this is the salon to go to for that experience.

I am a regular here at Gallery — these salon peeps are amazing. Everyone is always friendly and accommodating and it’s obvious they love where they work.
Gallery recently moved from
University to Elton (a side street right around the corner). It is so beautiful — big — bright and spacious! They have makeup jewelry and hair products for sale — plenty of room to get your nails done — as well as waxing, hair and relaxation space in the rear. They also feature new artists every few months and display their artwork on the walls!
I wouldn’t dream of getting my hair done anywhere else. Erika is amazing but so are all the other stylists!

Gallery salon is awesome!!! Angela colors and cuts my hair. She does a fantastic job as evidenced by the tons of compliments I receive! The salon is trendy and fun!

Both my boyfriend and I literally wait to fly in from San Francisco to see Amy Pink and have her cut my hair. She is literally the best I’ve been too since I’ve lived in San Francisco and New York CIty.

I’ve only experienced a couple of the services Gallery Salon offers, but I’m a huge fan. I regularly get my hair colored and cut here, and Amanda always does a fantastic job. I get compliments on my hair all the time thanks to her! I also had eyelash extensions put on about a year ago, and although I let them fall out, I was thrilled with them while I had them. The results you get at Gallery Salon are absolutely worth what you pay for services, and the staff is always friendly and knowledgeable about what they do!

I have been using Gallery for all of my up-​dos for all of my big events. They did my wedding hair, and all my bridesmaids and they we wonderful! The atmosphere is amazing and the staff are very knowledgeable and friendly! They also have a great selection of accessories to add to any style. I also came here for my pin –up photo shoot hair-​do. Amy did such a wonderful job and it stayed ALL day! I hated to take it down!

This review relates to Nail Services I received at Gallery Salon & Spa. I have NOT had my hair done there and have not experienced any of their other services.
I got a gel manicure with french tips and a pedicure at Gallery. I wanted so, so badly for it to be great, because Gallery is a 5 minute walk from my house, but I have definitely had better manicures and pedicures in Rochester.
What was good: I didn’t have to wait at all when I arrived. They were ready for me right on time. The girl who did my nails was incredibly nice. I really enjoyed her company and she made me very relaxed and comfortable. I love the facility they have. It’s relaxing and beautifully decorated. There is ample parking both in front of and behind the building. The chair I sat in for the pedicure was comfortable and had a quiet massager with a remote control I could program myself. I like their products – The scrub she used on my feet smelled wonderful.
What was bad: They use cheap cotton pads to remove polish and I ended up with a ton of tiny fibers in my manicure. I think the gel polish she used may have been getting old – it went on thick and I ended up with a finished manicure resembling acrylic nails (due to the thickness of the application). Although smooth, it definitely ended up lumpy in some parts. She wasn’t very skilled at painting the french tips – I ended up with some very uneven looking nails and a good amount of polish on the flesh around my fingers. It was just really sloppy with zero attention to detail which is critical to a professional looking french manicure.
What was frustrating, but partially my fault: She did my pedicure first, and then the manicure. When we were done with the manicure she knelt down and checked my toes for dryness and declared them «ready for shoes.» I put on my shoes, paid the $ 70, and then went home… where I then discovered they had been wet and the pedicure was destroyed. I should have checked myself.
I have my nails done about 1 time every 3 weeks… gonna keep searching for the right place.

What’s a very un-​girly girl to do when struck by a sudden urge to do some major hair reconstruction? Normally, this un-​girly girl’s answer would be to grab a box of dye and a box cutter and go to town, but in an inexplicably generous mood with myself this AM, I called Gallery and took the job to the pros. Smartest decision i’ve made this year, hands down.
Not only did they get me in for an appointment this afternoon, Angela somehow managed to listen to my very vague direction (Make it real bright and chop some of this stuff off over here; no mullet, please.) and produce EXACTLY what I wanted. Seriously, dudes, I look hot. She’s got some magic.
She & the rest of the staff were super duper friendly and the salon has a very professional but laid back vibe. No more box cutters for these locks; I’m officially a convert.

I don’t get my hair cut here… a little too fancy for me, but my wife does. My wife is very picky about who cuts her hair and she loves this place. They do a great job, my wife is happy and she looks hot!

I use a groupon here for a massage and mani/​pedi. Both of which were great. Michelle did my massage and she is a miracle worker. Wish I had discovered them sooner!
