Getting Your Hair Done in Laureles, Medellín: A Practical Guide

Laureles is one of the nicest parts of Medellín to spend a morning in, and a great place to get your hair done. If you want your hair done in Laureles, this guide covers the neighborhood, how to get there, what to ask before anyone picks up a brush, and how booking works at Roma Hair Salon.

Why get your hair done in Laureles

Laureles–Estadio (comuna 11) is a residential, walkable neighborhood with leafy streets, low buildings and a calmer pace than the busier nightlife zones of the city. Locals know it for La 70 (Carrera 70), a long strip of restaurants, cafés and bars, and for the Primer and Segundo Parque de Laureles, two small parks that anchor the area.

Because of that mix, it is ideal for a salon day. You can arrive early, spend a few relaxed hours in the chair, then walk out with fresh color or a new cut and go straight to lunch on La 70. Whether you live elsewhere in Medellín or are staying nearby, it is an easy neighborhood to fit an appointment into.

Getting to the salon

Roma Hair Salon is at Calle 44 # 69-93, Laureles, close to La 70. A few practical ways to get there:

• Taxi or ride app. The simplest option from anywhere in the city. Give the full address, including the “# 69-93” part, which tells the driver the nearest cross street and the house number.
• Metro. Line B serves the Laureles–Estadio area; from the station you can continue on foot or take a short taxi ride.
• Walking. If you are already staying in Laureles, the flat streets around La 70 are pleasant to walk.

Colombian addresses are logical once you know the system: “Calle 44 # 69-93” means the building is on Calle 44, near Carrera 69, at number 93. Even so, leave a little extra time if it is your first visit.

What to ask before getting your hair done in Laureles

A good appointment starts with a good conversation. Whatever salon you choose, these questions save time and disappointment:

For color

• Is my hair healthy enough for the shade I want, today?
• Will I need toning, and does the price cover it?
• How will this grow out, and when should I come back?

Cuts and styling

• How much length are you taking off? Ask to see it with your fingers before the first snip.
• Will this shape work with my natural texture on days I do not blow-dry?
• What products do I need to recreate it at home?

For treatments

• What does my hair need most right now: moisture, repair or frizz control?
• How often should I repeat it?

In addition, bring reference photos, ideally in similar light to where you will wear the look. If you are unsure about a big color change, a color consultation is the low-risk way to plan it.

What Roma Hair Salon focuses on

Roma describes its work in three parts: color design, hair therapies and professional makeup. Its specialty is balayage and color, from soft caramel and honey tones to face-framing highlights. Treatments use Wella Professionals products such as ColorMotion+, Ultimate Repair, Fusion, Nutri-Enrich and Ultimate Smooth, plus a Karseell express hydration and an Amazonian shine and sealing treatment. You can see everything on the full services list.

Cuts are a simple, popular reason to get your hair done in Laureles too. A women’s cut at Roma costs COP 48.000, and a designed cut for a bigger change is also available.

How booking works

You book online at medellinhairsalon.com. Every service shows three amounts: the total, a 20% reservation fee paid online, and the remaining balance paid at the salon. The moment you pay the fee, Roma confirms your appointment and blocks that time for you.

• You pay online by card through Stripe, in COP. Also, keep in mind that US$ amounts on the site are estimates.
• If the salon has to cancel, you get the full fee back.
• If you cancel late or do not show up, the fee is non-refundable.

Timing your visit

The first appointment of the day is at 8:30 am. Balayage must start by 3:00 pm because it is a long service; other services can start up to 6:00 pm. For color, a morning slot gives you the most relaxed day. You can pick your time on the booking page.

Making a day of it

Getting your hair done in Laureles pairs nicely with the rest of the neighborhood. For example, plan for a coffee before an early appointment, and a long lunch or an evening out on La 70 afterward to show off the result. If you have a wedding, graduation or night out coming up, ask about styling and makeup on the same visit so you leave ready to go.
