(I am Latina, which I think freaks stylists out in Ames, but I have white girl hair. No kink :-( And yes that's how I describe it.) I asked Jill right away, "do you know how to do a blow out!?" She said yes and she was right. Jill has colored and styled my hair beautifully. She recently gave me a new mom cut. I love it and I've received lots of compliments. Not only is this woman skilled, she has an amazing personality to match, and I am not an effusive person. I've seen a lot of stylists in town. Jill is one of the best!

Codi made sure the shape was exactly what I asked for and the design is spot on. The shop was really nice as well with a lot of calming plants and plenty of space. I was greeted so sweetly when I arrived, too. Codi's station was also really nice and obviously kept incredibly clean with a ton of color options. The overall service was wonderful and Codi has amazing prices. I absolutely recommend stopping in for any of their services. This is definitely my go to nail shop!

About 2 and a half years ago, I was driving down Main Street with a head full of split ends and…read morebangs down past my nose. I was desperate for a cut and a style, as I was going to Chicago for the weekend with my friends and didn't want to look like a cat who had just been dropped in a bathtub. Without an appointment, I wandered into the Salon, pleaded my case, and they got me in right at that moment! Kari cut my hair that day and I can say that since then, no one has touched the hairs on my head. I only briefly explained to her what I wanted and to my delight, she made it happen. The staff is always nice and in high spirits. They all seem to get along with each other. One thing you will notice when going to the Salon is that the staff all seem to know their clients very well. They are very personable and always focused on their client. The products they use are top of the line and really great. They always make my hair feel so strong and healthy. They also have a very nice selection of cosmetics and will help you pick out shades and products. While I don't have any children, I've seen several kids come in for a cut, and would recommend the Salon to someone with kids. I've mostly seen Josh doing kids cuts and he is so good with them. He makes them feel comfortable and makes jokes with them. I've even heard him tell children that the products he is putting in their hair (mostly detangling spray after washing) is magic. While it's definitely not the place to go if you don't want to drop a pretty penny, I always recommend the Salon to people and will continue to come back for every haircut.

Sydney and the gal who greeted me at the front desk were sweet and professional, luring me back for a follow-up even though I'd sworn to myself that I was only in for one appointment. The experience was so good ~ soothing voice & music, gentle hands, relaxing environment ~ I look forward to treating myself in the future for special occasions. The only downside was my post-treatment payment: The gal who rang me up both times (the salon manager?) was severely unfriendly, knocking me right out of my zen moment. If not for her, 5 stars.

I'm so, so low maintenance about my hair it's honestly sort of embarrassing. So much so that I…read moredidn't think anyone could screw my hair up, but alas. I went to a girl named Hayley (Haleigh? Hayleigh? I'm not sure how it's spelled) at the north Ames location. I just wanted my hair trimmed and a lightened -- balayage, highlights, whatever -- I didn't really care. I always trust my stylist to do what makes the most sense. That's it. Trim the dead ends and make my hair blonder. She seemed confident so I totally trusted her. First, she left me sitting with bleach in my hair for 40 minutes while she LEFT to go eat her dinner. She came back, took my to the sink to shampoo/rinse and put a toner in my hair. She left me there for another 55 minutes (super uncomfortable sitting with your head in a sink for 55 minutes lol) while she left to GO TO THE CAFE ACROSS THE STREET. What? She went to go buy cheesecake with her coworkers. She came back, ate her cheesecake, then came back to me. She washed my hair, blow dried it, and it was awful. My hair was grey and purple. Then she trimmed it, and screwed up the trimming around my face so much I ended up looking like I had a mullet. A grey and purple mullet. Yes. Anywho, I was polite about it but said I was unhappy and surprised by the result. She offered to try and fix it the next day and I declined and just asked to not be charged. They declined my request, and charged me almost twice the amount it said I'd be charged on their website ($113 on their website, and they charged $197). I went to Leedz Salon the next day and they fixed it. They're wizards. Please just go to Leedz instead and stay far away from this place.

They don't necessarily have seasoned staff for what they charged. That said, I love my hair dresser. She was the best in town but moved 6 months after I started with her. I tried someone else but I didn't like my cut/color so I can't recommend anyone. I got my nails done recently. The service was fine in that they use better methods than a typical nail shop but they aren't as good as those technicians because the aveda staff don't do as many nails as only nail technicians. If you want someone who takes their time, uses good products and can pay double what you would pay in town, then this is the place to go. Staff is friendly. Products are great. Place is clean.
