6 reviews for Roca Salon & Spa
Since I started having my hair done by Rod, the owner, a legion of friends have become true believers. Maybe for the first year I was a client, I rarely paid full price due to all the refer-a-friend bonuses I received.
You can talk up a restaurant all you want, but people don't really know until they taste for themselves. But with your hair, the pudding, so to speak, is right there on top of your head for every one to see. The fact that so many people I know looked at my hair and ended up there is the best review I can offer.
I moved to Kansas City in early 2009, and had to take the big "finding a new salon" leap. Based largely on reviews from Yelp (and other online sources) I decided to give ROCA a try. I went there twice, and saw Tim both times. Each time, my highlights and cut turned out fine--meaning I walked out of there pretty satisfied with my hair, though not elated. But overall, the experience was not worth the price tag. It was the small things, really: the shampoo chairs are really uncomfortable, my stylist seemed distracted and burned my head by keeping the hairdryer in the same place for too long (this happened BOTH times I went there!).
In my opinion, part of what you pay for in going to a nice salon is the relaxation factor. Neither of my visits to ROCA were relaxing, and given their prices, I didn't want to give them a 3rd chance. I now go to Hair in Westport, I pay less, and never once have I been burned.
My wife's hairdresser (Lyle) moved to another place, so I can't in good faith, claim to know anything about this place.

My better half found Lyle at Roca and she's been easy to get along with ever since. Thanks, Ruth L.… Read more »
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.
I'm in Kansas City for a few months, and boy was I happy to find Janelle at Roca!! My curls are still adjusting to the weather (and the heater) I can't exactly air dry the way I do I California. =) Anyway, Janelle gave me an excellent cut, trimmed my bangs -- and my frizz is gone. I highly recommend this salon.
I have gone to Roca three times for facials. I am very pleased with the service I have received. My facials we're done professionally and in a very calming manner. The room for the facials is upstairs in the haircutting room so its REALLY NOISY, but thats not the esthetician's fault. I think the management should say something to the stylists while the esthetician's are working... I think its rude... and they're not even talking to clients, they're yelling at each other. This has occurred during my three facials. This is not a place I go to get a relaxing day at the spa, its a place I go to get my extractions, face scrubs and clarifying treatments. If i wanted a day of relaxation, I go to Shine Spa.
