I recently moved from the East Coast to Iowa and I was a bit concerned about finding a new place to…read moreget waxing services at. I used to go to European Wax Centers and loved them, but there is none around here. I came across Gaia Waxing and decided to give it a try since it was closer to my house and the best pricing around, and I'm so happy I gave it a try. Christina (the owner) is just amazing. She not only knows what she's doing but she has an awesome personality. She uses high quality products (great for all of us with sensitive skin) and also offers waxing packages which makes prices even better!! I highly recommend her for all of your waxing needs!

I asked for a Trim and some Highlights, and she helped with bangs, the color, and how much of the hair to dye, providing quality advice and explaining multiple pros and cons. For the two services, my total was 67 dollars, without tip. It was extremely achievable, especially as a college student. I didnt go bankrupt due to the styling. The vibe of the salon was adorable within itself, the decorations were cozy, and the conversations were amusing and engaging. Overall it was an extremely awesome service, and i would highly recommend to anybody looking for a hair salon. 5 Stars!!

Went in for hand tie hair extensions. Seemed very knowledgeable about hair extensions, went and got…read morethem put in no issues the first time. Second time went in to get them taken out and moved up, a few days later piece of my hair extensions was loose went back in she fixed it. Co-worker that gets extensions at another place then noticed a few days later that she could see a piece hanging, she looked at the extensions and said that it looks like a mess they were loose and not tight at all. I was not happy. Went into another salon to get another opinion, who specialized in hair extensions and she stated they were poorly done, loose not tight like they should be. This is something I didn't notice it's not noticeable to the eye unless you actually lift hair up and look at where the hand tied extensions were done. Do not recommend invest your money elsewhere.

After a bad experience with a salon I tried Bombshell. I opted for a consultation prior to actually…read morehaving any work started. I told Courtney during the consultation that I was not in any hurry; I wanted her to understand that I expected her to take great care of my hair and to TAKE HER TIME. I did everything that I could do to try to avoid any problems. She didn't listen. I arrived for my appointment on 8/12/22; the previous salon made part of my hair dark, too dark for me. Courtney bleached my whole head of hair; the top of my hair was already white. The problem was my hair was over processed; she knew this, she asked me if I would like for her to blow dry my hair. I said no; not realizing how crisp my hair was. When I was driving back home was when I touched my hair. I almost started to cry...WHY DIDN'T SHE TAKE HER TIME? She charged me over $150 to over process my hair. I contacted her at a later date; cancelling my next appointment due to her INABILITY to listen. I asked for at least half of my money returned, she has not nor have I heard from her. I cannot recommend her salon, I cannot recommend her ability to understand her client even after a consultation. She clearly was more money motivated than caring for my hair concerns. A good salon would want to resolve issues, she did not even try. Proceed with caution, she will take your money then shrug her shoulders if there's any problems. Not professional or ethical in my opinion. Maybe she could prove me wrong...I'm not holding my breath.

They have two chairs for pedicures, so likely possible to get one with a friend at the same time. The staff were also willing to respect my request to be masked during my appointment, and all equipment was either disposed or sanitized after my visit. My impression is they take hygiene and COVID seriously. Five stars, will definitely recommend! (One more note: free and ample street parking is a plus!)
