««««« Back when I lived in Kansas City, I got my haircut here by Lyle.  So did my roommate.  We loved Lyle.  She got her hair colored by him as well.  I was going through a more natural phase (I have sinced moved to LA, as you might imagine, I've changed).
Roca Salon is in a converted house, and it's very cosy (but spacious).  Everyone is really friendly, it's clean, etc.  Haircuts with Lyle cost around $40.  I gather Roca does a lot more than hair, but that's what I've always had done there.
The salon is really pleasant--a bit on the earthy side, but then, they also do a lot of extensions, so, it's not exactly granola.  
Anyway, I strongly recommend Lyle at Roca Salon should you need a KC stylist.  - Ruth L.

Best haircolor EVER... Great facial, too!
««««« I moved here from Orange County over a year ago and FINALLY found an excellent salon! I went to the owner, which I usually do, and he did my haircolor even better than my old stylist and gave me a great new cut, too! I live in Johnson County, but the drive is worth it. His daughter Lacey is learning facials at the salon, so I had her give me one. WOW! Her technique felt like she's been doing this for years! With both parents in the business she said she practically grew up in the salon. It shows, and I highly recommend her. If you're looking for a new stylist, Rod is your man!! And don't forget Lacey for an incredible facial, too!

««««« I just went to the Roca hair salon 4 - 18-08 because of all the wonderful reviews I read on citysearch. I have to admit that I am very particular with my long blond/brown/red hair and I was cautious about picking a stylist. I booked a color/cut treatment wtih Rhonda in the morning with limited expectations. I walked in a common college student and walked out a runway model from Victoria's secret!! Each strand of hair was slowly treated and cut so that nothing was out of place. All of my girlfriends were envious and I went out to Power and Light and got lots of attention!! Rhonda is absolutely amazing and did an outstanding! She listened to exactly what I wanted and then gave me advice that I will use for the rest of my life. She has not only gone to hair school in California but also trained in London AND has a business degree. This is not any normal stylist but one of the few in the business that has a beautiful artistic touch to everything she does. I will never go to anyone else again!!!

««««« I cannot begin to tell you how wonderful my experience here was. The entire staff is just so friendly and a lot of fun! This is not a stuffy arrogant salon like others I have been to. But, THESE PEOPLE KNOW THEIR STUFF! I had an aweful haircut with even worse color and I went to Ron, who is the owner here. His chair is upstairs (this salon used to be a house that has a fun & funky edge to the inside) with a really fun group of hair stylists. He gave me the best haircut and highlights (fixed my mess) I have ever had, and I got so many compliments like never before. I came here because they won best highlights in Kansas City. Now I know why! Believe me, you will LOVE this place! I highly recommend Ron if you need a great haircut or color. Also, his daughter Lacey waxed my eyebrows and gave them a really nice shape.

««««« I was nervous to go to a different hairstylist. I chose ROCA because it got such great reviews online. I have to say, I received the best haircut and color I've ever had! I highly recommend Tim. He is very talented. I didn't think my hair could look this good. The real test was when I washed and styled my hair at home. Sometimes a haircut is never the same when you try to re-do what the stylist did. My hair is perfect...and so easy. Everyone was so nice and professional. The prices are reasonable too. Thank you so much Tim and ROCA!

««««« I highly recommend this salon. I always get professional advice and they never make me feel uncomfortable for asking questions. Oz does a fantastic job!

««««« I had just moved to the area, and needed major help. Rhonda was the stylist for my appt. She took hair that looked like a cruel joke and made it great. Not only was she friendly, but she truly cared that I walked out of there with great hair. She worked magic and did it in a way that evidenced her passion for her job, and a genuine concern that my hair made me feel like I could face the world again. She took on the challenge and did not just try to get me in and out like some other salons. She discussed all my options and was honest and truthful. The atmosphere was proffesional, friendly and comfortable. I will return there as long as I am in Kansas City. I have never had such excellent service, possitive atttitude, and dramatic results, as I did at Roca Salon. The staff was warm, friendly and accomodating. I am going back for some extensions soon, and I see the quality of product she uses and the technique is the latest and tailored to the individual. My visit there left no doubt that Ronda loves her work, puts client satisfaction first, and will live up to her promises at the consultation. I feel so lucky that I found this salon and hope that other people who read this, and are looking for a salon that will not disappoint, you would be cheating yourself if you do not check this place out. You are not just an appointment at Roca, you are a person. There is no pressure to buy products or services at all. I wanted to share my wonderful experience there with the community because it is rare to find such top-notch service, friendliness and results, and if that is what you want, this is the place to go. I can not thank Ronda enough for what she did for me in repairing the mistake of another stylist. I reccomend this place 100% and would give it 10 stars if it were available. I can not wait to return on Friday. THis is my 1st review of any business, but I had to share my experience, so that if you want the best, you know where to go. -hollee

««««« I lived in Missouri all of my life and a few years ago moved to Houston, TX. I have never been able to find anyone who cuts my hair better than Gary. (he's only there on Friday and Saturday) I make special trips back to Kansas City just to get my hair cut by him, trust me you won't be disappointed. Since I can not get back as often as I would like its very important that my hair looks good even in the in between stages, and it always does.

««««« I have been going to Roca Salon for awhile now and I love it. Ronda does my hair and it has never looked so good. Everyone there so so friendly and I wouldn't go anywhere else. The entertainment is also great and yes I'm talking about Keith he is hilarious. Also you get what you pay for a perfect head of hair each and every time. Thanks to everyone at Roca!
