Alana is the best aesthetician I've experienced when it comes to leg and bikini waxing! I've gone to other Aveda Salons in Reno like the Tangerine Salon at Summit and L'essence, and she outperforms the services I received at the other places BY FAR! A friend of mine who works at MAC in Meadowood Mall recommended her to me, and I decided to get my first Brazilian from her today because I heard such great things. Not only was it quick and barely hurt (she does it UBER quickly using only two strips of hard wax for each side), she's very experienced (worked for Aveda for over 5 years), is a diligent perfectionist (making sure to get every single stray and fine hair), and is a super sweet, funny, great conversationalist (which makes the time fly and puts you COMPLETELY at-ease even when you are totally spreading your legs at her like you're giving birth! I totally felt like I was chatting with a friend like normal LOL). She is also very knowledgable, and I trust that her other services will be just as excellent as her waxing. I'm excited to go back to her to get eye-lash extensions as she's advertising $125 for a full set right now. I already made my next appointment to get waxed again next month. I highly recommend Alana, and will probably make an appointment pretty soon for a facial as well (she got the "Best of Reno Magazine" 2011 for her facials)! read more

Love this little salon not too far from Costco and our car wash. Always get a great haircut. Ask for Val or Jen but if they aren't available, whoever you get will do a bang up job! read more

I had the best customer service experience here! I bleached my son's hair at home and didn't get it light enough (it looked brassy). I had tried multiple places online and could not get anyone with time to fix it without an appointment. I called Aura and Jennifer answered the phone. She made me feel so welcome and she was so friendly. She told me to come in and Carol would help me! Carol did a fantastic job at getting my son a beautiful bright platinum and Jennifer took time to even out his hair cut! My son's hair looks great, they were so nice, go to this Salon if you want to feel special and look good!! read more

haircut by valeria four days ago. To be fair I couldn't replicate the way she styled it. My hair has gone from straight to curly. read more

See all

Wow!! Jen runs an absolutely amazing shop! All Her stylist seem super happy to be there. Such a fun and refreshing experience getting my long winter shag cut. Jules knocked it out of the park!! It's been a few days now and I still love my cut. Thanks ladies read more

I was a walk in while waiting for my oil change at Subaru. Alina had a cancellation and took me in for a haircut that ended up feeling like a mini makeover. She did a great job of giving me an updated look. I will definitely return. read more

My hair was pulled and yanked during the whole cut. It was just a trim. It was painful. For supposedly being a nice salon, I was surprised she was doing a dry cut. Conversations were demeaning. Maybe others at the salon are fine but V was not the vibe. read more

Tammy easily sooo friendly and her hands flew through my short haircut. Mostly all scissors but she made sure I still looked very feminine and with 40 years of experience , 2 weeks later the cut is still holding its shape great! Tammy is Fun and very accommodating.. read more

My best friend made a drive up to visit and we wanted to start the weekend off with style .... They always say everything happens for a reason.... So glad that we met Robert! He definitely knows what hair is all about! I would definitely recommend his services. Very friendly and hand a great time visiting! read more

Aura Salon - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Got my long hair cut on 9/22/22. Everything seemed fine until I went home and washed out the style and realized it was so uneven. I'll have to go somewhere else to get it fixed. The stylist was very nice at least. read more

I had been given a recommendation to see Alyssa for a hair cut and style. Oh my goodness, I had not been given such a great style in years. I was so impressed I gave a cut and color to my girl friend as a gift. Her reaction was the same as mine. Best cut and color in several years. Besides being extremely talented she's just a pleasure being around. Just the way she carriers herself, she's just the absolute professional. I absolutely recommend doing yourself a favor to visit Alyssa for your hair care needs. read more

I made my son an appt back on 7/30/23 for today 8/11/2023 and when we arrived the receptionist told us that the hair stylist was no longer working there. I was never contacted by them and she just had a blank look on her face not very apologetic even after I told her that we live an hour away. Poor service for a new business in my opinion. read more

Girls day out & me my beastie decided to get blow outs. Well let me just tell you Robert did a fabulous job! Very kind & hilarious individual. Can't wait to have drinks with him lol... welcome to Reno! read more

Aura Salon - Robert & I - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Mo is the best!! She was able to shape and style my super short cut so I left with my head held high. Despite the cold weather, I wouldn't even put my beanie back on when I left. She is serious about Covid-protocol, which made me feel safe and secure in these troubling times. She also has the most beautiful energy which made me feel right at home in her chair. I will be returning even during Covid as all the stylist's stations are distanced and the entire space is clean. Plenty of parking and a pretty central location completely seals the deal. Thank you Mo! And thank you Aura! read more

I'm new to the area so finding a new hairdresser can be a little scary. My review: had an an extreme emergency from a 'nightmare at sola salon' in the Sparks area. The hairdresser completely messed up her colors and made me a brunette instead of a blonde that I am. What! In the world!?? I was devastated and I called Aura salon the next morning for a consultation. I felt so fortunate.to get an appt. at 10:00 a.m. on such short notice. Robert examined my hair and said my hair was wayyy too ashy. Robert told me not to worry he knew exactly how to fix my hair and he was going to be careful and only do a 10 volume. So I would not further damage my hair. Robert worked his Magic!! In 90 minutes I was back to blonde! I can't thank Robert enough! He is an excellent hairdresser. I left or a salon feeling like a million bucks. Thank you Robert! And I must say even though I had a bad experience at a different salon at least it brought me to meet Robert!! I had to write this review and I hope if anybody reads this and is looking for a new hairdresser l please let me save you time from a bad cut or color right now and call Robert at Aura salon. He truly is the best! Thank you Robert!!! You saved my hair and you made my birthday a success.! read more

I have been getting my hair done at Aura for years. Jen does such an awesome job. I am lazy and only go every couple of months, and she does my hair so that it lasts that long without ever looking bad. My husband, on the other hand, is more high maintenance and goes every 7-10 days. At this point, my whole family gets our hair done here. My kids love that they always have snacks, and my son loves his head massage when they wash his hair. On the rare instance, in a pinch, when I've had to take my son to a neighborhood chain, he is always highly disappointed. He is an 11 year old hair salon "snob." My mom has Carol do her hair and it always looks so great. She says it's so hard to find someone who can cut her curly hair well, but Carol has it down! The whole staff is always so friendly. We'll never go anywhere else. Highly recommend! read more

After searching for a salon that fit my needs for a long time, I was fortunate to get referred to Aura. I've now been seeing primarily Jen for over 10 years - I've also received cuts from others there and have had amazing results as well. If you are looking for a PRO salon, great environment, consistent results and fair pricing THIS IS IT. Proud of my cuts every time, lots of compliments - and most importantly "wife approved". I look forward to visiting the Aura team each month! read more

Aura Salon - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Reno, Nevada

For the past 22 years (since moving to Reno), I have gone from stylist to stylist always asking for the same request "Can you please style and shape my hair and color to match me? my face??" Although each of the 6 I have had as stylists over the years, have said "Sure!" But my hair just got shorter with the same cut and not much of a color difference. They would ask me what I wanted for color, and I was always at a loss. All were excellent stylists and I loved them all. Then one day I met Robert and he said to me "Come see me. A new cut and a new color would do you wonders." SAY NO MORE. For anyone to say that to me with my hair pulled up in a clip I thought "Amen!! My (humble) prayers have been answered" Finally, someone who gets me! So I went to Robert and my whole persona has changed. Feel like a new person with my new color, and a hairstyle that is easy to replicate at home. And for the first time in years I feel so much better about how I look. So to Robert I say . And for all who need an excellent stylist or even a new dew, I cannot say enough about Robert. Good heart, good soul and I keep saying to my husband "I am so grateful to have met this man" for so many reasons. Just a really great person with EXCEPTIONAL talent. (FYI, I know he was the personal stylist for Jolie, Kidman, Pfieffer.....enough said) read more

This place is absolutely AMAZING! The people that work here are all friendly and accommodating. Jen cuts my hair and I always end up getting compliments on it when I'm out and about. Even when I'm super busy, they always find a way to fit me in. Such a great place! read more

Rachelle is amazing and I love my haircut so much! I am the pickiest person when it comes to my hair and she did such an excellent job, I am definitely returning to her for my Color! The salon is a fun atmosphere too!! read more

I cannot recommend Aura salon enough. All of the stylists are amazing at what they do. It's always such a great atmosphere with great conversation with the whole staff! I also love the huge selection of Aveda products they offer. My stylist Jen knows exactly how to handle my crazy frizzy hair and is a master at the Brazilian blowouts I get to tame it! read more

Jen has been my stylist for almost a decade and I can't imagine going elsewhere. She does a fantastic job on my cut and color and takes the time to consult with me when I want to change things up with my style. Her staff is very welcoming and attentive. I appreciate that, as an Aveda salon, the products are environmentally friendly and cruelty free. And- in line with the what is "the new normal" of 2020- the salon is following COVID-19 compliance with masking, socially distancing clients and sanitizing the stations between clients. read more

Ashley did an excellent job to color and style my hair I'll come back and highly recommend

Called at 11:30 and they had an opening at 3. I asked for someone to take a look at my hair type and my facial shape, and entrusted that they'd know what they were doing, and Robert was AWESOME!! He cut an a-line, and my hair has never felt or looked better. I will definitely be back, and hopefully be able to snag an appointment with him again! Thank you, Robert! read more

I have been searching for a stylist who can cut my hair for the 3 years I have lived in the Reno area. I called Aura and they had an opening for the next day and my initial thought was that the person was new and God help me that he didn't make a mess of my hair. Robert gave me the best haircut that I have had in years. It has taken awhile to find him but he is one the best stylist I have ever been to. Love the salon! read more

Back in the fall of 2016, we relocated to Reno from Atlanta. I loved my stylist in Atlanta and I was worried that, as a male, it would be difficult to find a stylist in Reno that I liked as much. Enter Chelsea. If there was such a thing as a spirit animal for hair, Chelsea would be mine. I always try and time my monthly cut with Chelsea around important business meetings, work travel, or date night with my wife. If I'm coming in hot after a hair cut by Chelsea, my wife is always nicer to me. Chelsea is always so friendly, accommodating, and tolerant of my constant rambling of my kids sports efforts. If you go to Aura, ask for Chelsea. She's the best! read more

Such a great salon! Kristina gave me the best cut and color I've ever had, I'm completely obsessed. It had been over two years since I had my hair done professionally, and I didn't even know what I wanted to do, but Kristina somehow gave me exactly what I wanted. I will recommend this salon, and Kristina, to everyone I know! read more

Chelsea saved me! I had recently got a terrible haircut at a different salon that left me not wanting to go in public, like ever again. I called Aura last minute on a Saturday afternoon, and Chelsea graciously accepted my appointment. She carefully looked through my hair, and took action! Chelsea was able to rework the awful mess the previous hairdresser had done to my hair, and made me feel like a million bucks! She was kind, super patient and very talented. If you're in the market for a new stylist, go see her...she's the best! read more

I've been seeing Jenn Utu for a while. She convinced me to do something I never thought I'd do and that is to let my silver/blonde come out! Jenn is an excellent and knowledgeable colorist and through the months of transforming to my natural color, she blended it so well, no one would even know I was actually silver. The compliments on my hair are in abundance and everyone wanted to know what color or shade I was. It's flattering and my hair has less damage thanks to Jenn"s unique styling and the products she uses... Aveda! Simply awesome and I would recommend her and this friendly salon to anyone. read more

Jen has been my family's hairstylist for ten years, and I can't say enough wonderful things about her and her salon. She is highly competent in both her profession and business operations. The cut and color of my hair is perfect every time, and she has built wonderful relationships with my son and daughter through their ever-changing style needs, from elementary through high school. Jen runs a warm, friendly, and truly professional salon. Don't hesitate to make an appointment! read more

This salon is amazing! It has an inviting atmosphere that is very clean and organized. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable, they are all very experienced. You can tell everyone LOVES working here. Everyone is so polite and professional. They are always willing to go the extra mile to make you feel comfortable by offering you coffee, AVEDA tea, wine or snacks. I highly recommend going here. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT! read more

I picked this salon because I had heard good things about it but I was not impressed by my stylist, Alisia. She talked a lot and was easily distracted. I felt like that really made her not do the best job on my hair. Also it just seemed That she rushed when doing the cut. This was not the experience that I was hoping for. read more

Just got my hair done by Chelsea and she was absolutely amazing!! My hair was down to my shoulders and i wanted a pixie cut for the first time ever and i couldn't have had a better girl do it. She's so sweet and energetic i loved it! the atmosphere at the salon is so happy and freeing, the staff i met was amazing as well! definitely will be going back many times in the future.

I've been coming here to see Jen for 7 years. I do nt know what I would do if she ever stopped doing hair! I've never had so many compliments on my hair than I have since I've been seeing Jen! She rocks! read more

I went to see Miss Kristy Hall and she was amazing! It's a small salon that is very relaxing and I loved that they use Aveda products! Kristy transformed my very dull hair into my favorite style ever. The color looks amazing and she even put some fun little stripes and feathers in it. Basically I never wore my hair down before and now I always do and I get compliments everywhere I go. Go see Kristy! Besides being very talented at what she does, she is great to chat with! Love her! read more
