My whole family goes to Dara at Rocket Science. I am not very talented when it comes to styling my own hair but she cuts my hair and shows me what to do so I can even do it myself. My mom also goes to Dara, and my mom is very hard to please. Very cool atmosphere, Everyone is super nice and you just feel welcomed.

Pros: Friendly, Great Job

Cons: cant think of any

Rocket Science's owner, Savannah Blue, has been cutting and highlighting my hair for five years now. I've gone to Savannah at 4 different salons because I won't let anyone else touch my hair. First off, my hair has a tendency to turn orange or brassy when colored, but Savannah always mixes the perfect color to get it just the right shade of blonde. Also, Savannah's cuts are great. She always listens to what I want and delivers a perfect result. As another reviewer here remarked, it's true that her cuts are long lasting, even on my long hair. In addition to Savannah's skills, Rocket Science is a great salon. The space is funky and cool, the atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable and the conversation is always amusing. No "hair snobs" here. There's also plenty of street parking on or right off of Frenchmen. I give Rocket Science my highest recommendation and suggest an appointment even if you don't live in the neighborhood. I live in Uptown, near the universities, and there are plenty of hair salons in my neighborhood. But an appointment at Rocket Science is well worth the trip.

Pros: Skill, Ambience, Service, Parking, Conversation

Cons: None

Its hard for me to find a barber that can cut my hair the way I want it done. Some friends recommended I go see Savannah at this salon. I'm glad I followed their advice. The place is cool looking and the stylists are not snooty or pretentious. Savannah made sure she understood everything I wanted and did a great job. I am now a loyal customer and will never allow anyone else to touch my hair.

Pros: Ambiance, knowledge, professionalism and great prices and online booking

I found this salon based on citysearch reviews, and decided to give it a shot. The online appointment system was easy and very fast to get setup on, and lets you select a time and stylist; even tells you how long to expect the service to take. I came in with an idea and some pictures, and left with exactly what I wanted. Savannah took plenty of time to discuss what I wanted, including how I styled it usually and my expectations as far as length/layers/bangs. The cut turned out great! I'm new in town and found the salon to be very friendly, bright and clean. Would recommend Rocket Science to anyone, and I'll be back!

Pros: Service, price, attitude

I've been looking for a stylist in New Orleans for 3 years. After at least 10 very expensive salons AND bad haircuts I found Dara at Rocket Science. The cut was perfect, the style and blowdry ( I have VERY curly and hard to manage hair) were perfect, and everyone there is so friendly. It's upstairs and you have to ring a buzzer to be let in but it's in a great location. It's really cute, clean, and trendy. I love it and I'm never going anywhere else. Love it Love it Love it! Yay for good hair!

Pros: Service, stylists, atmosphere, young, trendy, location, price, everything

Cons: none

These girls rock! Finally a salon that does great hair and is fun to go to! i had just about had it with trying to get my hair done in New Orleans, especially downtown, which is where i live, when a friend recommended I track down Savannah Blue. After finding out that she had left her previous salon in the quarter I found out that she opened this new place. It is so cute and has so much character. And I love my hair. Exactly what I wanted. I feel like it really shows who I am without wearing me. It's easy to style and I've been told her cuts keep their shape for a long time. Don't waste your time or money going anywhere else. The stylists at Rocket science are all creative and fashionable and some one really listened to me about what I wanted for once.

Pros: Location, easy parking, service, great hours

Cons: upstairs
