I wasn't overly thrilled with the salon I'd been frequenting since I moved here so when my friend mentioned he'd had a good experience here at Moods, I figured I'd give them a try. I made an appointment a week in advance through their online booking, which was super helpful to view the stylist bios and pricing before committing plus it sent me a few timely reminders via text. I arrived roughly 15 minutes ahead of my appointment and scored a parking spot right out front. Sammy was with another client so I had a short wait while she finished up and reset her station. After a quick chat to establish a game plan, I was off to the wash and back in the chair for what felt like the quickest haircut of my life. I swear it was about 30 minutes from chat to checkout! I really appreciated that she styled my hair how I'd be styling it at home so I was able to get a good sense of the cut before I left the salon. Again with curly hair, this makes a world of difference! Overall, I enjoyed my experience at Moods. Whatever happened in previous Yelp reviews, that was nowhere to be found on my visit. The space was inviting and the staff seem to be very experienced. I also thought my haircut was very affordable compared to other salons I've been to. Glad I took my friend's advice and will definitely be paying it forward if anyone asks. I even booked my next appointment as I left (something I never do!)

WARNING: I KNOW TOO MUCH! I rolled the dice a few weeks ago and booked the next available stylist…read moreat Moods for a haircut. I'm a former stylist, with some barber training, which makes finding someone to cut my hair a challenge. Just as surgeons maybe shouldn't perform their own surgeries, I know when to let someone else cut my hair. 9am on a Thursday I walked in to Moods to a friendly sign asking me to put shoe coverings on (and mask up of course!). I liked this a lot. COVID has butchered the salon industry, so anything that a salon can do to up the sanitization game is huge. Moods Salon was spotless. Then I met Amber. Stylist roulette handed me a beautiful, friendly and enthusiastic ray of sunshine. (No really... you cannot ignore it.). From just a haircut perspective: once I stopped talking about "my hair" (we ALL do it..) she chimed in that she had originally attended barber school and was just shy of finishing when she transferred to cosmetology school to finish up. Oh Universe! Her skill showed this truth. I sit here writing this with the best grown out haircut I've ever had. Amber is going to be getting a call from me today, and I cannot express how good it feels to know I can count on another amazing haircut by an incredible woman.

She is so patient with the loooong process of cutting an coloring, and makes my hair feel and smell delicious. I have had long hair for the last ten years of my life and was so afraid to get it cut. She was so sweet to make sure it was exactly how I wanted it and walked me through the whole process. The only downside is price. I wasn't expecting to have to pay as much as I did. BUT that shouldn't deter anyone from going. I honestly think if you talked about price and what you want done they would accommodate you. No doubts about it. And it will not stop me from going back. This salon is beautiful and the owner is so kind! I loved that she said hi and introduced herself after my appointment because it's not something you typically expect when people are so busy these days. If you're looking for a simple cut, to cover up grays, to try a new color, or to do a combination of any of those things I highly recommend giving Essence Salon a go! The ladies and atmosphere are a dream, and everyone deserves to look good AND feel good.

The facility is absolutely gorgeous & fun to visit, and every single hairstylist is so sweet & polite to me when I visit. I get so many compliments on my hair & my response to people is, "I have the BEST hairstylist!" Thanks Ann! If you're looking for a great Salon, this is the best!!

The Beauty Lounge offered the best overall experience of any salon I've tried in Cedar Rapids--and I've been shopping around for a while. The salon is small and very well decorated: it's feminine and clean without being frilly. The entire staff was personable and the atmosphere was relaxed and fun. Megan--the salon's owner--cut and colored my hair and she did an amazing job. She is very skilled as a stylist and she was really fun to talk to as well! She went the extra mile in every way during my appointment by taking the time to brew some fresh coffee for me, helping me sift through my Pinterest page to find the perfect cut, and by beautifully transforming my hair. When it came time to pay, I was shocked at how reasonable the price was for everything Megan did. In short: this salon offers a great experience and competitive prices. I absolutely recommend this salon and I'm so glad I found it!

I'm leaving this as a 4-star review only because I have an expectation of longer hours (I was told everyone was fully booked, but Sam was the only person working on Saturday at 2 PM; I walked in fully expecting a bustling shop full of stylists and patrons), quicker call-back for an appointment (I got a text a day after I called for an appointment; my expectation is within an hour of inquirty), and a tidier shop (the shop is clean but kind of messy). Please don't get me wrong, I appreciated the kind responses to my inquiry and was happy Sam was able to accommodate me on short (3-day notice) and make me look great. Curiously, when I went to book online Sam was not an available option with whom I could book an appointment. I hope the person responsible for the portal will ensure they can schedule time with him. Please go to see Sam. Thanks for making this Chicago girl look and feel great.

I guess in a small town if you charge $50+ for a hair cut you can be a B!$@&. I guess I will go back to the big city and get a big city haircut. Where I don't even mind paying the higher price where they have the decency to come and meet the client and at least have a chat.
