This directory lists 97 salons and barbershops across Colorado Springs, and the roster leans noticeably toward clipper work — men's cuts and fades are the most widely offered services in town. Ratings run high here: 80% of listings carry a rating, and they average 4.83 stars. That means stars alone won't narrow your shortlist, so it helps to know what else to look at.
Where Colorado Springs runs deep
Barbering is the clear strength. Twenty-four of the 97 listings handle men's cuts, 24 do fades, and 19 offer beard trims — if you want a skin fade and a beard lineup in the same chair, you have real choice.
The women's side is close behind: 19 salons offer women's cuts, 19 handle styling, and 19 do blowouts. Textured-hair coverage runs nearly as deep — 18 salons offer protective styles, 18 handle locs, and 18 do braids, with 16 apiece for weaves and extensions.
One honest caveat: these tags confirm a salon offers the service, not that it's the shop's main event. For braids, locs, or any install, ask to see recent work in that category before you commit.
Booking and ratings, by the numbers
About 76% of Colorado Springs listings take online booking, which means for most shops you can skip phone tag entirely. For the rest, call — and call early in the week, because good chairs fill up fast everywhere.
On ratings: 80% of the salons here are rated, and the average is 4.83 stars. When the average sits that high, the gap between two well-rated shops tells you almost nothing. Review volume and recency tell you more — a shop with a long, recent review history that mentions your exact service is a safer bet than one with a slightly higher score and a thin record.
How to use this directory
Start with the service, not the salon. Filter to the service you need — fades, braids, blowouts — and work from that shorter list instead of scrolling all 97 entries. Then check two things on each card: whether the salon takes online booking, and what reviewers say about the specific work you want done.
For anything involving added hair or long chair time — braids, weaves, extensions, starting locs — ask for a consultation first. Five minutes of questions about your hair's condition, install time, and maintenance can save you a bad afternoon. For cuts, trims, and blowouts, booking straight through is usually fine.
