  Holly Chavez is absolutely fabulous at her craft! She gave me possibly the best haircut I've ever had in my life! Covid made me try to cut my own hair... Big mistake! The faded iron is a cute little salon right on Main Street in Salinas and there is plenty of parking in the back. The way I discovered her was that I met a beautiful lady in a store and her haircut was absolutely fantastic so I went ahead and asked her who did it. She said Holly Chavez at the Faded Iron - so I made an appointment right away! Holly is a doll and I guarantee that you'll love her! I feel like a whole new woman with this new haircut! She's super popular so make your appointment asap!

  Have had my hair cut, colored & highlighted a few times (w/Debbie) & will definitely be back. Such a cute salon, very friendly and inviting. My mother has been a client for many years and loves her hair every time. Highly recommend.

  Recently had my haircut by Sheree and I couldn't be more pleased. She was skilled and friendly and listened to me. What really surprised me were the many compliments I have received. Mind you, I did not change my hair style. She just made the style look more natural and polished. I would certainly recommend Faded Iron Salon.

  Love this place! Courtney is such a sweetie and amazing hair stylist. This place is so cute and I love it's charm. Located in a cute spot in south Salinas, it's open everyday of the week! It's my first time here, and I don't live in Salinas anymore, but if you're in the search for a great place this is it! I will for sure be coming back the next time I come home!!

  Ok so this is literally my first review I've ever posted on Yelp and it's totally worth it. I usually read reviews but I just had to post on how amazing these beautiful people are here at Faded Iron. I'm a male who is growing his hair out long and I will be coming here from now on to maintain it. I was just a walk in today, desperately seeking help to cut my baby hairs from my neck last minute because of a wedding I'm attending tomrw and they were so welcoming. I felt at home in this place. Everyone seamed to be amazing but the Stylist Courtney who cut my hair was very talented and very informative when it came to my silly uneducated questions about hair that now I feel so much more confident about. Anyone reading this looking for a super clean, classy and comfortable environment to get great cuts, nails and style from in the Salinas area need to go to FADED IRON!! Thanks again ladies. Your the best. God bless. ps. I'm corny I know lol. Just so grateful.

  I've been a customer for many years. When my hairdresser retired, I tried another salon which was a big mistake, yet I learned from that experience. Returned to Classic Impressions (before it became FADED IRON) tried another hairdresser. Sweet lady, Brigette, yet we made each other nervous! It's ok..it happens. So chatted with a few of the other ladies, settled with Debbie. I'm very finicky about my hair, my hair does odd things, and I have special needs which she accomodates. I realized Debbie and I are new to each other. She has a new customer to learn, I have a new hairdresser to start over and discuss things with. She is very kind, understanding, truthful as to have courage to say, "That's not a good style for you. How about we try...?" She is organized and timely, remains calm, and listens. I love her! I can leave there with my make-up intact, all pieces of jewelry remain in place, and I could go shopping or to lunch without worrying that it's obvious I just left my hairdresser. Holly did an amazing world-setting nearly overnight remodel! You can't help feeling "at home" here. I also have Sue do my pedicures. Love the privacy, calm & quiet of her new area. Again, with special needs, she's been very gentle & helpful. So, to anyone who might "walk-in" or trying a new 'do or color, just remember: these ladies are professionals, sometimes "miracle workers". Yet when you want more than a "trim", you're treading deep water and taking the chance your expectations may not be met. Be prepared. Call, arrange a time to talk with owner, see the gals working on customers. Last minute anything can prove disastrous. Sincerely hope you were able to resolve your issues & have found your perfect stylist.

  Went for a balayage Courtney got the color wrong (Holly suggested her to me), the haircut was worse. She only cut 1 side of my bangs. I had to remind her to cut the other half. Salon couldn't provide the final colors they ended up using on my hair. Said it was awkward for their girls to give out their “concoctions”. Really? Doubt they even know what colors they used. Wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Save your time and money...go somewhere else.
