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.
