Really Outstanding Chic
& Amazing (ROCA) I adore this place... it is the
kind of Salon that the Bravo channel could film for a reality show. Its Fun,
unique and is loaded with superb talent and fabulous personalities. Its
located in a fun, artistic, urban neighborhood with many great places to
stop by for a good meal or a great drink after your salon trip. When you
walk out of the salon you will look and feel like a celebrity! :)

I've had hair disaster after hair disaster since
moving here from New York last year. (I had to go back to NY twice just to
get it straightened out!) I have finally found the only colorist who could
deliver what I was used to, and even better! Rhonda is truly a master of
her craft. I found her listed as one of the best stylists in Kansas City
in KC Magazine. Believe me, she IS the best! She teaches color and her
knowledge is incredible. My hair feels and looks better than it ever has.
She trained at a Sassoon school and gave me a fabulous new haircut, too!
Her prices are quite reasonable for her sophisticated talent in this city;
she could easily charge $500 and up in New York for a haircut OR color! (I
might add that she offers intelligent conversation,too, which is a
rarity!) And, her assistant is adorable and does a great blow-dry! Don't
bother searching around - I have done that for you, and Rhonda is THE
BEST!

ROCA is a sure thing I'd been disappointed and
frustrated by another salon in Kansas City. I was worried that I wouldn't be
able find a stylist with both creativity and technical skill. Rod at ROCA
came through for me with an awesome color and cut. I am confident when I go
to ROCA that I'll leave with hair that looks and feels amazing.

I moved to KC for about a year and a half, and while living
there got recommended to ROCA Salon. I started going to Rod (both the owner
and a stylist himself) and kept going back until I moved. The staff at ROCA
are all very friendly and professional. The salon itself is very trendy, chic,
and modern. I have always been very pleased with my cuts and colors. Rod
listens to exactly what I want to have done, and allows me to be a little
picky. :-). I get compliments on my hair all the time! I wish I still lived in
town so I could keep going back.
ллллл
Roca is the bomb. Their expertise in cuts, color and skin care
is 2nd to none. If you haven't experienced Roca, you haven't lived!
ллллл
If you have need of salon services and you have never been to
ROCA then you have not been to a salon. Rod and Ronda Cavner run (in this
reviewers opinion) the premier salon in Kansas City on par with the greatest
salons in most major cities. Rod and Ronda have assembled an amazing
group of salon experts (not people that went to salon school, but with
resume's that include working with Jose Eber) i can assure you that you or
your lady are in the best hands. I have all my pedicures and sometimes
my ails done (any time i have them trimmed) at ROCA and my wife will never go
to another salon as long as ROCA is open. Gentlemen I can tell you, get
the 'spa' package for her and you lady will be really happy with you.
ллллл
Janelle has been cutting my hair now for a few months, and I
must say, she has done an incredible job. i am always lucky enough to get an
appointment, even though i wait til the last minute, and she's always friendly
and sociable and fun to talk with. thanks janelle!
лллл
I get my eyebrows waxed by Anessa. She does an awesome job. I
will never go anywhere else. I have very sensitive skin which always caused
issues when getting my eye brows waxed but somehow Anessa is able to do it
with minimal puffiness and redness. $20 for the wax which isn't bad. You
could get it 5 bucks cheaper at a beauty brands but they will tear up your
skin. At Roca they make the very painful experience relaxing which prior to
Roca I would have said is not possible. You are in a private room with a very
therapeutic feel. Bottom line, I'd say they make eye brow waxing as
enjoyable as it could be.
ллллл
I just got my hair cut and styled at Roca. Bailey is by far the
most professional, caring, and talented hair styler I have ever encountered. I
absolutely love my hair! He took the time to explain how to style my hair at
home, listened to my concerns, and made me feel 100% at ease. The entire staff
was courteous and warm. I would refer anyone wanting a high quality hair/salon
experience to Salon Roca. This place is a class act!

This is my first review but I have to say, OMG I have finally (after 10 years) found a Salon that I love! Rod does an awesome job wth my color. I travel from Overland Park & pass many Salons to get to them. They are a bit pricey, however I do not think going cheap is an option when referring to your hair. I have tried so many stylist in & around Overland Park & was not pleased with anyone, at best they are just ok. I have never found one salon that I like for cut, color & style. They make you feel great about your hair before you leave which is the way it should be. I have had many horror stories with color in the past 10 years and I was very nervous about having someone new. Now I look forward to each appointment. I know it is going to look great. They are all so nice & try to make it a good experience. I would like to see later hours for those of us who have to work & monthy specials for cuts ,color etc.
ллллл
A visit to ROCA Salon and Day Spa is truly an enjoyable, satisfyiing treat no matter what services you experience. I have been going to ROCA for many years and have been immensely satisfied and totally refreshed after each visit. Personally, I have a facial, hair cut and color each time I visit. Lacey Cavner gives me a facial that canot be topped, she takes you away from your everyday existence to a wonderfully magical place where you can dream, meditate, fantasize or just enjoy the unique service she provides through her facials; they are absolutely outstanding and something that I look forward to with great anticipation each month. Rhonda Cavner has done my hair cuts and color for several years and I would not trust to go to anyone else. Rhonda knows exactly what color looks best on me and always gives me a flattering cut and style. Rhonda is a very artistic person with a great flair for style; whether it be in hair design, home interior or her great sense of personal style. Roca Salon is easily accessible from all areas of town and the salon itself is a unique experience; the decor is lively and fun! Their "menu" of services provides something for everyone and I'm sure whatever services you treat yourself to; you will be totally pleased with the end result. So, do as I do, treat yourself to a day at ROCA Salon and Day Spa, you'll be so happy you did!
ллллл
Yes, I'm cheap but who isn't these days? When I first went to Rhonda several years ago I knew the price going in and was apprehensive. BUT, after that first appointment I was hooked! The cut and color was amazing. What I really liked was she took the time to tell me what would look best with my face shape and hair type. She didn't let me do something that she knew wouldn't work. Like I said, the color was amazing too. She knew the color that would work best for me and made me feel confident it would look beautiful. Which it did!
The staff is very friendly and for an upscale salon, you don't feel as though you have to dress up or even wear makeup to get a haircut/color. I feel very relaxed there even though it is definitely upscale. All staff members are great; offering a drink or magazine and some conversation. They just make you feel very welcome and at ease.
Their product line is awesome too. It can be pricey also but it lasts forever! They will tell you how to use it, how often and even the amount to use. They take time with you and make you feel very well taken care of; pampered, which we all deserve. I love that they carry items other than just hair products so if you're in need of a quick gift, you have options here. Their soy candles are to die for, so many scents!
Just give them a try and you too will be hooked!

I booked an appt for a color correction consult at ROCA after reading the reviews on City Search. I was impressed by the reviews and that the salon took the time to respond to low-ranking reviews in a professional manner. I was treated well on my initial phone call, as well as during my consult appt with owner, Rod. He offered me a solution to color correction that was very affordable and I trusted that the result would be beautiful. I was not disappointed. Rod did a fabulous job with my not-so-fab, multi-colored tresses. I feel human again! Yea! I've since booked an appt for a cut and cannot wait to see the results. The atmosphere is fun and friendly. The cast and crew are entertaining. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and look forward to returning for more services. Hello, gift certificates for the holidays!
ллллл
I just went to the Roca hair salon 4 - 18-08 because of all the wonderful reviews I read on CitiSearch. 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 with 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!!!
ллллл
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 awful 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.
ллллл
I highly recommend this salon. I always get
professional
advice and they
never make me feel
uncomfortable for
asking questions.
ллллл
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 professional, friendly
and comfortable. I will return there as
long as I am in Kansas City. I have
never had such excellent service,
positive attitude, and dramatic
results, as I did at Roca Salon. The
staff was warm, friendly and
accommodating. 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 recommend 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.
ллллл
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 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!
ллллл
What do I have to say about this
place... I have a great time every time I am there. The people that work there are very nice and
helpful. I look forward to my appointment and the time spent there.
ллллл
I recently got my hair cut & colored by
Rhonda at ROCA Salon; she and her husband own the salon. She was
recommended to me by a co-worker who always looks GREAT! When I first
walked in, Rhonda greeted me immediately (she works by the entrance), and
2 other employees greeted me at different times, not even knowing who I
was there to see and before I even introduced myself to the receptionist!
The entire staff makes you feel welcome. It is not one of these snobby
"spas", and these people really know their stuff. Rhonda gave me the most
beautiful color I have ever had and a brand new style that I am thrilled
with. At first I only wanted a trim, but after she made a few suggestions
I felt totally confident in her honest opinion. She even offered to
correct my makeup foundation color with a new mineral makeup and I have
never had makeup look so good on me! She and her husband take their staff
to all kinds of training so they all keep current on the latest trends. I
also looked at her book of hair extension photos of work she has done and
they look AMAZING! I'm thinking of having it done! My only "con" is I was
put on hold for quite a while when I first called for my appointment, so I
hung up and called back (the receptionist is a mature woman and I think
she just forgot I was holding on the phone), I'm so glad I called back!
Everyone I see loves my new look! Thanks, Rhonda!! I will definitely be
using the Refer-A-Friend cards!!

We were new in Kansas at the time and,
perhaps to complement our new life, I was also itching for a new look. My wife
suggested I make some changes with my hair. I told her I did not want anything
extreme, but I wanted something that would also look different, so she
suggested I have my dark brown hair colored and highlighted. Figuring that I
had nothing to lose, I gamely took on her suggestion. We did not know where to
go, so we asked around for the best color and highlights parlor in Kansas
City. Seven out of the ten people we asked recommended ROCA Salon & Spa.
A salon and spa in a remodeled house
ллллл
ROCA Salon & Spa is located at 1200 W 39th Street in Kansas City. I was
expecting it to be the usual cozy little place my wife would go to, but I was
pleasantly surprised to find out that it was a full-service day spa inside a
remodeled house in the Restaurant Row district. I was also impressed that ROCA
offers a variety of services for men and woman, ranging from skin care, hair
and massage treatments. I had been informed beforehand, however, that the
specialty of ROCA Salon & Spa is hair coloring. I suppose the folks we asked
did not call it the best color and highlights parlor in Kansas City for
nothing.
Satisfied first-time customer
ллллл
I went to ROCA alone, and, having been more used to systematic trips to the
barbershop, I was a little apprehensive. The moment I stepped in, however, I
was greeted by Rhonda, who works near the entrance and owns the place with her
husband Rod. She immediately put to rest all my concerns about not knowing
what I was getting into. Not only were she and her staff very friendly and
approachable, they were also very knowledgeable. I was initially wary that
they would be hard-sell, but the moment I stepped into the place's relaxed and
yet professional atmosphere, I instantly felt I would be getting nothing short
of what was right-and beneficial-for me. I went home that day looking and
feeling ten years younger.
Expert advice from pleasant staff
ллллл
Many repeat visits later, I found out that the owners and their people train
internationally to keep up with the latest industry trends-and to maintain
their stature as the best color and highlights parlor in Kansas City. As I was
already a regular from the get-go, I was happy to find out that the ROCA staff
treats every appointment as some sort of mini-consultation. First, they listen
to me explain what I want done. Afterwards, they tell me what they think and
give me the options that meet my needs. More often than not, I listen to their
suggestions, and so far, they have always been right.
Definitely tops in hair coloring
ллллл
As far as I am concerned, ROCA Salon & Spa has lived up to its reputation
as the best color and highlights parlor in Kansas City. The parking is a
little bit tight, but everything else is perfect. It is the only salon I have
been to where I really felt I got what I paid for.

Best haircolor EVER... Great facial, too!
ллллл
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!
