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.

Meet Andrea

Salon Owner
Natural Curl Specialist, Deva Certified

Andrea’s vision is to help women with Curly or Grey Hair enjoy high end, boutique service and exceptional color options that capture their distinct style identity as a WHOLE, from head to toe…starting with their hair.

She is filling the a gap in the hair industry — the vast need for expert coaching, cutting, and dimensional color services catered for women who have naturally Curly Hair and/or naturally Grey Hair. These women are sick of wasting their time on trial-and-error approaches to embracing their curls or their grey. They women want to enjoy the same privileges of high end, boutique service and exceptional color options that people getting traditional salon services enjoy. They want to feel warm, welcomed and celebrated.

Her approach is kind, yet direct. She is the consummate coach.

Guest are often surprised when Andrea asks this question, “How would you describe your personal style?” Andrea bring her background in fashion and personal Image Consulting into suggesting hair shapes and colors that emphasize each guest’s favorite natural features, enhance their skin tones, and connect to their overall style identity.
