## Find Your Perfect Cut
Finding a stylist who truly understands your hair can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. At The Refinery Hair Lounge in Middletown, we have removed the guesswork by bringing together skilled stylists under one roof, each with their own specialty and approach to women’s haircuts.
Your appointment begins with a consultation, not scissors. Whether you’re maintaining your signature look or ready for a dramatic change, your stylist will discuss your lifestyle, hair texture, and styling routine before making a single cut. Bring photos, share your frustrations, and be honest about how much time you spend styling each morning. This conversation ensures you leave with a cut that actually works for your life.
## Silent Services Available
We understand that for some clients, the salon chair feels more stressful than relaxing. That’s why we’re one of the few Louisville-area salons offering Silent Services. Book a quiet appointment when you need professional results without the small talk. No awkward conversation, no pressure to chat. Just expert hands and a peaceful experience.
## Every Hair Type Welcome
From precision bobs to lived-in layers, pixie cuts to long, flowing styles, our stylists work with every hair type and texture. Every cut includes a shampoo with EVO professional hair care products, formulated to enhance health and shine without weighing your hair down.
Located in Middletown and serving the east Louisville communities of Prospect, Norton Commons, and La Grange, we offer something downtown salons often can’t: easy parking, a welcoming atmosphere, and stylists who remember your name.
Your haircut should make getting ready easier, not harder. Let’s find the right fit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most women benefit from a trim every 6-12 weeks, depending on their style. Short cuts like pixies or bobs need reshaping every 4-6 weeks to maintain their structure. Medium to long hair can often go 8-12 weeks between cuts. If you're growing out your hair, you'll still want trims every 10-12 weeks to prevent split ends from traveling up the hair shaft.
A standard women's haircut at The Refinery takes 30-60 minutes, including consultation, shampoo, cut, and style. Shorter styles are typically quicker, while longer hair or more complex cuts may take closer to an hour. Your first visit may run slightly longer as your stylist gets to know your hair.
Be specific about length by pointing to where you want your hair to fall rather than using vague terms like "short" or "long." Share your daily routine, how much time you spend styling, and any frustrations with your current cut. Bringing reference photos helps ensure you and your stylist are on the same page. And don't hesitate to mention what you liked or didn't like about past haircuts.
You don't need to arrive with freshly washed hair. Most appointments include a shampoo service, and your stylist can cut your hair whether it's clean or day-old. Just avoid heavy styling products like hairspray or gel on the day of your appointment.
Silent Service is a quiet appointment option for clients who prefer minimal conversation during their service. It's ideal for introverts, those with social anxiety, or anyone who simply wants a peaceful salon experience. Your stylist will ask the necessary questions about your cut at the beginning, then give you space to relax. Available with select stylists.
The standard tip for a haircut is 15-20% of the service cost. If you're exceptionally happy with your cut or your stylist went above and beyond, 20-25% is a generous way to show appreciation.
We exclusively use EVO professional hair care products at The Refinery. EVO formulas are designed to enhance hair health and shine without heavy buildup. Your stylist can also recommend the right EVO products for your hair type to recreate your salon look at home.
We want you to love your hair. If something doesn't feel right, reach out to your stylist or the salon within a few days of your appointment. Most stylists are happy to make adjustments at no additional charge. The key is communicating what's bothering you so we can make it right.
