Brush
Brush, was conceived out of a desire to offer something that was nonexistent in the salon industry. A tranquil, calming environment with one on one client service. Brush- Palm Springs, is your very own personal salon. Each client is given private, personalized attention by owner James Entwisle. Together you will discuss any issues you may be having with your hair texture, scalp problems, color desires and cut.

Along with expert advice each client sits in a soft leather styling chair which looks onto the San Jacinto mountains and the uptown design district of North Palm Canyon Drive. Brush is enclosed in a glass Atelier, which is in the historic Gallery building. While being pampered by James' expert techniques in color, cutting, styling and scalp treatments, you are offered select coffees, teas, wines, beers, and whiskey.

James did a fabulous job of transforming me this morning. I feel like a new person. His one on one treatment is the best experience I've ever had at a hair salon. It was great getting to know him! He's so meticulous and professional. Thank you James!

It disappoints me to have to write a negative review as I love this unique, personalized salon, and Barry is a lovely person. I looked forward to both experiences, but unfortunately each time left a bad taste in my mouth (I went a second time to give him the benefit of the doubt). Marlene C. is spot on with her review. I booked an appointment online for an $80 hair cut for my first visit. I paid with my debit card. After leaving I checked my bank account and my debit card was charged $140, not the price I had booked for my appointment ($80). I figured it was a mistake, and since I liked Barry and

Barry is positively the best. You will love your hair and you will count the days until your next appointment. I wish I could give more than five stars.

For me, an appointment at Brush is like a morning at a spa (without the steam room, robe & floppy sandals). The surroundings are glamorous, and the view is spectacular. Brush is a compact space tucked away in an historic building in downtown Palm Springs. It is just you and your master stylist Barry who offers a wide,range,of salon,services. Barry Nadeau has trained with the finest and provides a relaxing, refreshing experience. I have been very pleased with the results of every visit. He has,a great website for a menu of services and prices, as well as making appointments (well in advance -- he

I read about Barry and his establishment--Brush-- in Palm Springs Life. I anticipated it would be a fun "one-time Palm Springsy' experience to get my hair cut there while on vacation. And I also expected I'd get a decent cut. It was a great experience--Barry is charming. The shop--and Barry-- not at all pretentious. And the cut he gave me exceeded my expectations. I absolutely love it. As soon as I got home, I booked another appointment for next time I am in town. While the price for a cut is more than I pay at home in Chicago, it's really not that high, considering he does

This very talented stylist and colorist sent me an email confirmation that my full highlight would be $130. Upon leaving my appointment, Barry ran my card but did not give me a receipt. When I got home that evening I was surprised to see a $400 charge. Barry did not inform me that his pricing had changed, plus his website still reflected $130 (has since changed). After leaving numerous messages he did not return my calls nor make any gesture to resolve the issue. I did not authorize $400 so feel extremely misled and will never go back. I've been to Sally Hershberger, Jose Eber etc. and have

Not just a great cut (several times now) but always a great experience. Barry has created a warm and comfortable space and a unique experience! You get a full hour, no other stylists or people waiting, Barry is the perfect host, a true gentleman and best of all, a great stylist...all with a view!

In today's rush rush world there is Barry and Brush. You are the center of the experience. A blissful moment to catch your breath. Barry has many years of experience and knows how to create the right look for you, your hair and your life. You would pay exponentially more for this service almost anywhere and not get as lovely a result. After years of fancy salons and pompous stylists, we found Barry. And yes, I would love to have kept this a secret. Pretend you never saw this!

Where to start....

Barry Nadeau has created a gem in the desert! I had my first appointment this morning and it was spectacular. He greeted me with warmth and a glass of French lemonade. The lemonade was amazing!! Barry from the get go wanted me to feel in control of how I wanted my hair styled which was a breath of fresh air. We had intellectual conversations during the whole time I was there which was nice. I thought to myself the whole time I was there why hasn't everyone decided to go to Barry? He's like the best kept secret in the desert. All in all I left with the best cut I&apos

Not only is Barry a great stylist, he is a life-saver!
On the day of my wedding, my clippers broke, and I messed up my beard, but I found Brush, and Barry saved the day! He fixed everything so that I wouldn't look silly on my big day. Thanks, Barry!

Besides being the best stylist in the desert, Barry is the most caring person I know. The salon is peaceful and beautiful and you can even enjoy a cocktail while having your hair done -- how civilized is that?

Barry is an exceptional person, stylist, and business owner. A true master of his craft, the attention afforded you is second to none. I walked away feeling better for wear and excited to explore my day with a sharp new cut. The next day I was surprised at the ease in which I was able to style my hair. Barry said that he cut my hair in a style that matched the natural flow of my hair and he meant it! Not only did I get a great cut, I feel better for knowing Mr.Nadeau, and that is an experience you don't get every day.

Barry Nadeau is quite possibly the nicest man I have ever met. He is thoughtful, sweet, and talented. His business concept is genius. When you book an appointment at Brush, prepare to be swept away. His level of one on one service is unheard of. Every single client gets 100% of his attention at all times. He listens, and he gets it perfect every time. You will not only love what he does to your hair, you will enjoy every minute of your experience. A glass of wine, some fine bourbon, and a personality that is one of a kind. All while relaxing and people watching on Palm Canyon. Book yourself

Barry is amazingly warm and friendly. I love the setup of his studio! He instantly made me feel at ease and I knew that my fine hair was in good hands. I absolutely love my new cut and Barry will be the only person doing my hair from now on! I highly recommend Brush!
