Welcome to Parlour, a boutique experience where you will be seen, heard, and known for who you are.
Imagine a boutique salon experience where you immediately feel at ease. You don’t have to hesitate to tell us your preferences, because we start out by asking what you like and dislike. And every appointment afterwards we will ask those same questions.
Our stylists work with individuals who prefer a collaborative process, to be a co-pilot on their beauty decisions. We love strong, educated women with nontraditional hair—curly textures, creative colors, grey/silver locks… bring it on. 🙂
Sitting in a chair and trusting someone with your image can feel incredibly vulnerable… even for a strong person. We want to build connection as early as possible and help you feel confident all along the way, starting from the very beginning—right here, on our website.
This is why we created a complimentary “Stylist Matching” quiz designed to help connect you to your ideal Stylist Match (think, dating quiz 🤓). The quiz takes into consideration your hair needs and your personality preferences. It’s a win-win for new guests and stylists, alike!
If you have any further questions while booking, please reach out! A real human will get back to you on our reception days (M/Tu/F).
"I have thick curly/wavy hair. Her DevaCurl cuts constantly bring out the best in my curls. She also colors my hair, ranging from highlights to all-over-color (yikes, gray coverage now!). I am never disappointed with how rich the color turns out and how she manages to "get" the look I'm aiming for.
Andrea is worth the money you're spending on her services. The attention to detail, creativity and sheer skill makes her not only a hairstylist but a real artist."
Kelly Q.
Lawyer, Mother of 4 (including twins)
"The level of consultation is unmatched. Our time together is always fun, but she never veers from her professionalism. Andrea is a true master at her trade. My hair is completely customized and ridiculously easy to maintain at home (oh... and sassy as hell)."
Melissa Rapini French
Permanent Makeup Artist
"As a natural red-head in my early thirties I've been struggling with losing the striking red of my youth to an increasing amount of white. Looking natural has always been so important to me.
I felt so supported, beautiful, and understood in the process - and now my hair looks and feels amazing! She found the exact color red and blended it so naturally that I actually feel like myself again."
Alice Ball
Librarian, New Momma
"Andrea has been my stylist for more than 4 years. She offers options and recommendations if you are indecisive. If you have your own vision, she is able to dial-in to what you want and delivers. I am, and my husband, too, are always pleased with the cut, and especially, the color!"
LAF
"Andrea is a fantastic stylist - I have truly never had a better cut. She listens closely to what you want as a customer, and she offers her own insights (hard-earned knowledge after years in a variety of salon settings and from extensive training). She is also just a generally wonderful person to spend some time with while pampering yourself - she knows the local area well, has great tips on what to do/where to eat, and will also share gems of wisdom on fashion."
Jackie M
Social Work, Professor
"She understood what I wanted and explained to me how the hair style I chose could be altered to better frame my face shape. Her knowledge of curls and hair in general was very comforting. This is the first time I've truly felt at ease geting my curly hair cut."
Jenna Hollis
Former Military
"Amazing service where they take the time to figure out exactly what you want and will look those most beautiful for you and your hair type. I've referred so many people here."

Parlour is a gem worth discovering.
Parlour is a hidden gem. Situated in a historic mansion at the intersection of Rochester's three most popular neighborhoods (Park Ave, NOTA, and East End), Parlour is a boutique salon known for thorough consultations, natural curl services, precision cuts, and creative color services in a relaxed atmosphere.
Parlour, home to AB Image Consulting , also serves as a seasonal classroom space for group and individual lessons on hair, makeup, and wardrobe topics.
We LOVE our clients! They are the heartbeat of this city and range from execs to entreprenuers, from creatives to content creators, from active retirees to working parents “in the thick of it” … and all the shades in between. Although a truly diverse bunch, what all our clients have in common is 2 things:
a true appreciation for wearable art
and
the desire for low maintenance hair that maximizes their god-given features at every stage of life.
Does this describe you, too? We invite you to stop by, have a drink on us, and discover what makes Parlour a word-of-mouth Rochester favorite.

Curl Stylist
If you are searching for a Curl Stylist who also loves to color hair, search no further. Enter, Macalia, endearingly referred to in the salon as “Mac.”
In her own words, “In my chair, your hair is the priority. Learning about my own curly hair brought me to the world of textures and before long, I was determined to focus my career on textured hair.
I am lucky enough to be in an amazing texture-focused salon where ALL hair is celebrated and embraced. This allows my passion for color to meet the world of texture and I couldn’t be happier. I am so excited to share this dream of mine with the community. “
