Obsessed with my hair is an understatement! I had Karlee, and she was absolutely phenomenal. She was so thorough, really listened to exactly what I wanted, and had such a great eye for bringing my vision to life. I showed her my inspiration pictures, and I swear her brain was already cooking! She even brought over the swatch book and walked me through each step, clarifying everything along the way, which I really appreciated. Karlee truly has a talent for hair and an incredible vision. I would recommend her over and over again! The salon itself is always absolutely stunning and impeccably clean. It genuinely feels like I'm walking into a 5-star luxury hotel spa every time I go. I always feel so well taken care of from the second I walk through the door, and the prices are surprisingly reasonable for the experience you get. I initially heard about Chasing Vanity through one of their promotions, which they run pretty frequently, and honestly, it's probably one of the best things I've ever done for myself. I also have to give a huge shoutout to the med spa downstairs and Ashton, who is absolutely marvelous. I've been getting IPL treatments to help with hyperpigmentation, and it was honestly the treatment I didn't even know I needed. I get SO many compliments on how good my skin looks now! Ashton is amazing at what she does, but what I appreciate most is how much she genuinely cares. I could literally sit there and chat with her for hours. She's incredibly knowledgeable, practices cautiously, and never makes me feel like she's trying to push anything on me. She even sends a personal message after treatments to check in and see how I'm doing, which says so much about the kind of person she is. I absolutely love her and wouldn't trust anyone else! Chasing Vanity has truly become my favorite place for both my hair and skincare needs. read more

I had a really subpar experience here last week with one of their stylists. I booked through classpass to have a full highlight and wasn't able to choose my stylist. I knew going into it with the discount that I might not get the most experienced but I was very disappointed. I thought I made it clear during the consult what I wanted. She overfoiled and made more work for herself and ended up taking almost 5 hours for just a highlight and tone and simple blowout. I wanted lived in piecey golden honey highlights and left with very ashy strawberry blonde almost all over color. I couldn't really say much because to fix it would have taken even longer and now I've also noticed my hair feeling extremely dry and damaged. I know that I got an extreme discount using classpass but I'm really disappointed with my result and experience. read more

The Spa side does injectables (Botox, etc.), microblading, facials, (brows) and massages, The salon side does everything hair, nails, lashes, makeup for weddings, etc ... I mean this place covers everything! I had Dawn put some Botox and filler in my face. Omg... She was the best! She did such a great job.... I'm just really happy with it. Also Lisa does amazing facials. Love her too. And my visits are really enjoyable. This is by far my favorite place I've ever gotten Botox/fillers in GR. I can't wait to come back. read more

My journey with Chasing Vanity salon started when I got my first set of extensions! Tristan was an absolute amazing help, and worked with me through all the ups and downs and my millions of questions before, during and afterwards.

Was searching for a place to get a manicure close to me and thankfully I stumbled upon Chasing Vanity! This place is awesome and has just an all around fun atmosphere, you can tell they really enjoy what they do. I got a manicure from Ashley and it was awesome. She was so friendly and meticulous with her work. My nails weren't necessarily in the best of shape so we talked about how to get them healthier and she gave me suggestions. They are equipped to do both pedicures and manicures and their salon is so cute. I got exactly what I wanted and then some more, I highly recommend this place! read more

A friend had recommended Chasing Vanity to me. I couldn't have been more happy. Monique was amazing. This may be my favorite cut I've had. Her blow dry skills are stellar! CV was also super safe and clean. I really appreciate their efforts. It feels good to have found my new hair place! read more

Actually I've gone here for many years just for haircuts and I was very happy, always good cuts. However, I just got my first coloring done there and it washed out in 4 washes (2 weeks). I bought the shampoo and conditioner they sell with the color in it, to help with fading but I didn't think it would fade this quickly. I've personally dyed my hair many colors and that's never happened. They do seem to call their dyes "gloss" so maybe that's why? I don't know enough to say that. It just sounds like a color tint, more than permanent. It was $330 so that kind of sucks. read more

Chasing Vanity Salon and Medi Spa - Has anyone else had their CV color fade in 2 weeks (4 washes)? - Hair Salons Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

I can't rave enough about the absolutely AMAZING job Chelsey did on my lips! I was so nervous but she eased all my concerns and made the procedure as painless as possible. I wanted a natural look, so it didn't "look" like I got my lips done, a natural plump look and that's exactly what she delivered! She is also a master at botox, I wish I had better pics of my forehead and crow lines by my eyes because they are non-existent now. Chelsey will forever be helping me look forever young! I'm hooked and my husband, who I want to note was a HUGE skeptic, is now a HUGE fan of her work and the looks she helps me achieve! If you're on the fence, I say, don't wait, call Chelsey right now and book your consultation and appointment! You won't be disappointed! read more

$45 for an excellent manly pedi! 20% off first time Yelp coupon! I found this place using YELP, and it is conveniently located on a corner of Wealthy just a few blocks off the highway, with parking in back and on the side streets. I was early and greeted warmly at the door. They told me the name of the lady who would be working on me was finishing up and would be available shortly. She was very sweet (Ellie?), and led me back to the massage chairs in the back of the studio. The water was warm, the view of the street was nice, and they had GQ (men's magazines). The massage chairs were high tech, with lots of buttons to enjoy. Now my feet aren't the worst, but sometimes you just need a little professional help. Ellie did a great job (could've worked the heels a bit more, but I didn't mention it so it's not her fault). Clean painless cuts, warm ticklish salt scrub, moisturizer... was afraid I'd slip off of my own feet. Needless to say, I was very happy! This was a full service salon with hair as well! 5 STARS read more

Lani does a great job every time! Cute environment, well priced, and friendly! Being new to Michigan, I'm happy I found a salon I trust!

What an unfortunate experience. This business sends frequent promotional texts regarding sales to your personal phone and if you opt out, you no longer receive appointment reminders. Just paid a stylist 165.00 in a cancellation fee for an appointment I had not received any reminders on. I Was really optimistic for this salon based on recommendations but will not be returning due to non-informative business practices that disadvantage the customer. It's not right to charge a customer before services are rendered. read more

I've seen Tristen and Jaylyn and both are great! Had bleached my hair down to white and covid rolled around. I had deep roots and of need a good hair cut and dye. Vanity Salon got me good ! Dyed me to a rich, warm brown and fixed up my hair. This is my new regular spot. read more

This was my first time here and I really enjoyed the experience. I booked online, which was easy to do. When I arrived, I was immediately greeted and the receptionist was very welcoming and friendly. Courtney, my stylist, arrived within 5 minutes and was super friendly. I wasn't sure what kind of style I wanted when I arrived, but she helped me through the decision process yet never made me feel rushed on the decision. I had a great haircut and nice conversation. (I opted for just a women's haircut - it cost $30). The salon was clean and not overwhelmingly bright or loud. Altogether, a very nice experience. I will definitely return and may try one of the salon's greater services next time. No complaints! Note: lots of free parking in the back of the building, easy to get a spot! The salon is in the same complex as Biggby's and Subway read more

Tuesday I had my first PRP Microneedling Facial and I'm so impressed with the results! Lisa and Dawn are extremely knowledgeable and very professional.

Love this salon, especially Erin C! She is an expert at color and the is the best at styling my thick, frizzy hair Everyone at the salon is friendly and love how they support each other and work as a team. Owner Liz has created a wonderful environment for clients and staff. You will love being taken care of by any of her amazing staff!!! read more

First time client - gave a 23 hr instead of 24 hr emergency cancellation and was still charged. Losing out on hundreds of dollars in the future for that is not just terrible customer service, but bad business. read more

Absolutely LOVE this salon!!!! So welcoming as soon as you walk through the door. The front desk ladies make checking you in for your appointment their first priority and always offer to take your coat/jacket as well as make you a fresh cup of coffee or some cold water with lemon. The whole staff is so kind and there are girls who assist the stylists with things like brushing and blow drying your hair to get you out of the salon chair looking fresh in a timely manner. I recommend seeing PEYTON COOK. She's been doing my hair now for 4 years. I absolutely love her attitude, personality, and love for doing hair. She can spark a conversation with anyone for an easy going and comfortable experience. She works sooo well with blonde hair and I've always loved my results. I will not go to anyone else. Doing hair is in her blood and comes so naturally to her!! She has many talents such as creating beautifully braided masterpieces for your wedding day/prom, working well and hard to make your dream hair ideas come to life, and perfectly matching/adding hair extensions to create thick/long luxurious hair. LIFE ISN'T PERFECT BUT YOUR HAIR CAN BE IF YOU SEE PEYTON!! read more

It was my first time at Chasing Vanity & my first facial ever and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Linda made sure she explained every step to me and was extremely knowledgeable! The coupon for 20% off your first visit needs to be removed from yelp though... because they did not accept it. read more

I love the Chasing Vanity salon! Amber is great! I always look forward to chatting with her and get a fresh new cut!

I had a maske facial and it felt so good! Just what I needed during these crazy times of wearing masks every day. I definitely recommend visiting Chasing Vanity! read more

This place is AMAZING! I booked my appointment an hour before hand and they got me in. Courtney was perfect and so attentive to what I wanted done to my hair. (Something simple, curls and my bangs out of my face). I'm from out of town but if I'm ever back in Grand Rapids - I'll be going here! read more

Chasing Vanity Salon and Medi Spa - What I told Courtney, my stylist: Something simple, curls and my bangs out of my face. Amazing! - Hair Salons Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

I recently had a hydra facial on the move. I've had them several times before at another facility on the east side of the state, I'm new to the Grand Rapids area. I was pretty disappointed with the Service. I'm not sure if the technician was new to this type of treatment, but the results were pretty underwhelming compared to what I've had in the past. The facility was very clean, the staff was very professional and welcoming. Overall the service and products could be better. read more

My daughter had hair extensions put in here by Ellie. Initially they were only going to add two packs of hair (she's got a lot of thick hair), but ended up adding a third pack of hair because it wasn't blending. Well, a third pack wasn't enough either. She went back to show them how it wasn't blended at all, and they chopped some layers into her hair but it made no difference. In the end she has a bob that shows 100% of the time whether it is curled or not, with 20" extensions in the back. It looks RIDICULOUS. We asked for a refund, instead I got lectured on how to maintain the integrity of the extensions. The manager (seriously rude and not the brightest) did offer a fourth pack of hair for free. I wouldn't let them TOUCH her hair again. Terrible service. Extensions look horrible. Run away as fast as you can! Pics to follow. read more

I'm very impressed by this salon. The staff is incredibly professional, and the salon has a very luxurious feel. I've had several types of treatments, including several haircuts, balayage, glossing (I highly recommend!), shellac, and pedis, and I've always left MORE than satisfied! The wait times are always minimal, and parking is always available. Keep up the great work and service!!! This is truly a top notch salon. read more

Love the salon. Staff very friendly and professional. Hannah did an amazing job on my updo for my sons wedding. I came in from out of town not knowing where to go, read great reviews on yelp about this salon. They got me in last minute. Am very pleased and happy with the service. read more

Do not trust their online communication system or online booking. I booked something two weeks out and the night before the appointment received a confirmation text. The next morning I received a text saying the appointment was canceled because the stylist decided not to come into work because of fears of covid-19. Of course there were no other appointments available anytime soon. This is not a way to run things and the salon should have verified that their customers could be accommodated. If they are giving their people the option to no show at the last minute then they should be checking with their stylists every day to make sure they can fulfill the appointments that have been booked for them. Extremely disappointed and I will not go back. read more

This place is wonderful! Great location! They have very talented stylists and amazing customer service. The salon even has a spa!! It offers massages, facials, pedicures, nail services and even eye lash extensions! I recommend this place to everyone! For a downtown location it's perfect. They even have parking!!! read more

They are amazing! Every time I leave my hair looks amazing. I got my hair colored, and it's still lasted 6 months later!

Awesome staff. Excellent service. This is THE place to go if you're looking for an overall great experience! I needed my hair and make up done for a friend's wedding, and they got me in at a (relatively) short notice. I can't say enough good things about Lacy and Ryan! I wish I can bring the whole salon/team with me to Kansas City! read more

Fantastic place! Christine was very good, willing to listen to what I wanted and offer suggestions without disregarding my desires. And the price was fantastic! I had a wonderful time here. Will definitely come back. read more

Ellie did a great job on my hair! Being a blonde with very fine hair, I have a very hard time finding a stylist that actually listens about how my hair reacts to certain colors. Ellie, didn't make me feel rushed or like she just 'knew it all' when I told her what I wanted and what shades my hair can/can't handle. I also had to explain to her that I'm recovering from back surgery and she was so understanding! She even helped me in and out of the chair and kept checking to make sure I wasn't too uncomfortable from sitting too long. My hair looks and feels amazing. The only down side is that it was $50 just for a trim. But she did she got my dead ends off without completely butchering the length like I wanted so, it's okay. I'd rather pay a little more to have it done right I guess. I don't live in Grand Rapids but, if I need my hair done next time I visit I will definitely come to her again. Thanks Ellie! Let me know if you ever end up in San Diego! read more

Just got manicures and pedicures with my mother in law and sister in law to celebrate an upcoming wedding. They were extremely friendly and accommodating, I asked if I could bring some champagne to make it special and they made sure we had a special experience. They were very careful with the nails and made sure it was quality work. I had the owner doing my nails and she was extremely sweet. Would definitely come back. read more

Amazing experience here! Went for a haircut with Allison and she was super friendly and took her time making sure she knew what I was looking for. My hair turned out beautifully. She carefully cut my hair both wet and then dry to make sure it was the perfect shape. I'll definitely be back! read more

Had a lovely experience and Lindsy made all of my short hair dreams come true! Definitely recommend checking them out!

This salon did my bridesmaids and my hair and makeup for my wedding this last December and they did a fantastic job. The owner Liz is a wonderful person with amazing talent that listened to all my concerns and eradicated them. From my trial to the actual day of the wedding she took the time to make sure everything was perfect and exactly how we all wanted it. Even when one of my bridesmaids already had her hair done and she felt like she needed adjustments last minute she just mentioned what she wanted fixed and they went back and changed it. I would 100% recommend that any one who is having a wedding to check out chasing vanity! Super nice & talented people, beautiful venue, very happy customer! read more

I went here for a mani/pedi when I was in town visiting family and I really enjoyed it! It's a wonderful environment, but still very professional, which I haven't experienced in other salons I've been to. My mother got a cut and color, and she felt like the stylist (Lis) really listened to her. Since it's a brand new build, it was nice to feel like you really were in a fresh and clean environment! Highly recommended. read more

I cannot recommend this hair salon. The owners have no business ethic as demonstrated by their lack of concern when it comes to their customer's dissatisfaction with their services. That, in and of itself, is objectionable, but it is even more intolerable when they grudgingly agree to resolve the issue, and end up doing nothing to resolve it. I experienced this firsthand on my daughter's wedding day. The hairdresser, who did hair, did a very poor job. Within 10 minutes of leaving the salon, the hair pins holding my up-do in place, fell out. I ended up rushing to another salon in the city to fix my hair, since they had no one to fix my hair at that moment. I asked for partial reimbursement, since I ended up paying an additional $60.00 for a 2nd salon to do my hair. After arguing with two of the owners over compensation, I was told they would reimburse one half of my cost. That never happened. So, their decision to use deceit and lies to temporarily appease me, should tell any current or prospective customer that they cannot trust the owners to do right by their clients. They cannot even be trusted to honestly promote their stylists' work. They obviously didn't care that the stylist who did my up-do, did not have the skills to create it. I would suggest you skip Chasing Vanity and go to Cheeky Strut instead. Cheeky Strut is a far better salon with highly skilled stylists. read more
