How we made this list
We looked at 16 salons in Albuquerque NM with a Google rating of 4.0 or higher and at least 20 reviews, then ranked by weighted Google rating across the city, 300 reviews minimum. A rating from thousands of reviews counts for more than the same rating from a handful, so a new place with a few perfect scores does not jump the queue. Ratings and hours are from public Google listings on 11 October 2026 and can change. Nobody paid to be on this list.
Tips before you go
- For an early start, Lavish Hair Lounge opens at 9 am.
- Hours and prices come from Google listings and change, so check the listing before a long trip.
