Moving to Boulder three years ago, I can still recall how I felt the first time I discovered Zing when taking a walk around the Pearl Street Mall area: awed by the bright colors and products and intrigued by the friendly stylists emerging from beaded curtains to greet me. I immediately booked an appointment for highlights with Salina, who is one of the sexiest, strongest women I know. After just having her second child, she still comes in four times a week, looking amazing and giving a great cut, color or style to anyone! Since Zing has been my hair salon, Travis has also done by hair and just recently gave me some really sweet shag bangs. Hip Sierra does my brows...the staff is fun and friendly, to say the least. Joy's craziness that everyone speaks of exists, but in way that adds to the flavor and atmosphere of her salon. She started the business and her attitude, styles, fashion and little dogs only enhance the appeal of Zing. Regardless of whether Joy dyed her dogs with beet juice or not, anyone who is a regular at Zing knows that her dogs are the world to her. Little Franny is so damn cute! People badmouthing Joy and the Zing Hair Salon are out for a power trip; just because you had one bad experience there doesn't mean the salon is horrible. I have witnessed a fluctuation of employees since I have been going to Zing, but I know that everyone working there is trying very hard to be the best stylist they can be. Give people a chance, people! As long as I'm here is Boulder, Zing will be my salon of choice.
Pros: Friendly staff, lush vegetation, funky music, little dogs
