This is my favorite salon in town. Not only because it's the best place to get my nails done, but now it's the only place l'll ever get my hair done!!! Gabbi's got my nails down, yet little did I know that this salon houses my new hair savior, Jeanne!!! She's an artist. A miracle worker. She took my long, thick, super straight hair, and cut and layered it to curl! Then after doing an outstanding job at cutting it, we discussed a highlight. She was excited because my hair was ...Virgin Hair lol! She found out there was no and hadn't been any color on my hair in many years. At least 4 or 5 I believe. An appointment was made and I couldn't wait! Today I went in early, and gave my hair over once again to the master. What I like about Intrinsic the most, is that it feels like you're sitting at home talking to family while you're getting pampered...and I need that. This salon is 'the salon'... ya know, the one you see in movies where everyone knows each other and talks about their lives, their days. This is the perfect therapy session. After highlighting my hair, she styled it and my jaw dropped! I LOVE it!!!! She hand painted highlights into my hair, held in place with foil and brought it to the most beautiful color. It looks so natural and integrated into my super dark hair that it truly is a work of art! Jeanne, Gabbi, y'all are beautiful, intelligent and caring women. And Intrinsic is more than just a salon to me. It's a sanctuary. read more

Emily colors, cuts and styles my hair every couple of months and has done so for about a year now. When I first came to see her, I was terrified. My hair was growing in after chemo and graduation was coming up. I wanted to look great, but I didn't know if I could with patchy, short regrowth. Emily made me feel right at home, something that is a bit of a challenge when you're at a hair salon and hardly have any hair. She trimmed up my fuzzy duckling hair and turned it into a feminine and professional look. Since then, she has helped me grow my hair out after my cancer treatment. At each stage of growth, she has helped me avoid the dreaded mullet. She's also been very flexible with my hair because it has changed colors, textures and thickness often as it has been repairing itself from the damage chemo causes. Over the last year, I've learned how versatile Emily is as a stylist. She can work with any length, any color, any cut, any texture and make it great. She checks and rechecks her cuts. Plus, she's fun to be around! Because of the trust Emily built with me, my husband finally got his hair, beard, mustache and eyebrows trimmed up. He was nervous since his hair grows so slow, but he had faith in Emily. It turned out great, as always. I hope to have Emily as our stylist for many years to come. read more

I first used Jeni because of a Living Social deal I purchased for a cut and color. Let me also say that I've been getting my hair highlighted for 18 years. Jeni J. was very professional and "interviewed" me about my current hair cut and color and products I was using before she even touched my hair (something I have never experienced previously). She was very thorough and asked me what I was wanting, etc. SHE IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING WITH COLOR!!! OMG! Jeni J then became my stylist. She does some of the most AMAZING work I have ever received. She is a perfectionist, truly cares about how you look and feel leaving her chair. Her business is her HEART and SOUL. I can say that I was looking for a stylist/colorist and ended up not only finding that, but finding a friend. I have since had to move across the country and I miss her dearly! I highly recommend her to anyone! She will blow your mind (and does the best blow-outs too)!!! read more

I have been coming here to get my nails done by gabbi since November 2016 when my fiancé set up a nail appointment for me so my nails were nice when he proposed.

Everyone at this salon is kind and caring and friendly and makes you feel welcome the second you come in here! 10 stars for intrinsic A! You go intrinsic A! read more

I had my hair done by Rosa at Intrinsic for my wedding (along with 6 of my bridesmaids as well as my mom and mother-in-law) and she was nothing but calm and kind. She has a great personality and was able to make me and my girls feel comfortable and beautiful!. She even went as far as having us do research and bring along photos so she could do exactly what we all wanted. I was pretty stressed out on the actual day so it was incredibly helpful to have a professional on hand :) I would highly recommend her and think Intrinsic is super cute! Thanks Rosa for all of your help in making my wedding day so special ... read more

I get my nails done here every other week by Sabrina. She does an AMAZING job on my nails. She does my nail with shellac and does incredible nail art. Everything from classic french to crazy, outrageous, holographic color (of which I am a huge fan)! Highly recommend her! read more

My experience: they fill big plastic bowls with soapy water for the pre-pedicure food soak. You sit on a long wooden bench (with pillows behind you) next to any other customer(s) getting a pedicure. My pedicurist never stopped talking so I couldn't just relax, I felt obligated to be part of the conversation; as frustrating as trying to keep up a conversation with the dental hygienist who is working on your mouth. Plus my nails started to chip right after the pedicure, and the next morning I had to take off the polish and re-do them myself. What a dump! Basement salon, they don't use professional equipment, and the experience was exhausting, not relaxing. read more

First Yelp post. I needed a color correction from an eff up at a different 5 star Yelp salon in town. I got Jeni with a next day appt and after 2 hours, she turned my orange supposed ombre into a blended natural look. The cut was perfect (yes she cuts it dry) and I am still in shock how she was able to fix the disaster I walked in with. Definitely recommend Jeni! read more

I bought a groupon for haircut, color. Wanted to try someplace new and was very happy I came here. I had Jeni as my stylistic, she was so professional, knew exactly what she was doing. I got a great color and cut. I give her 5 stars and she earned every one of them. read more

I bought a Living Social deal for my daughter and I. A mani, pedi, and facial. Long story short, nails on both hands and feet were bad, my nails were not shaped, my nails were not even cleaned out. Less than 24 hours and my fingers started to chip (48 and now it's totally gone), and my feet look like I did them. There is a reason I don't do my own nails!!! No facial and after that, we didn't care at all! So very disappointed and I have to say, worst mani/pedi I've ever gotten in my life. read more

AMAZING!! New to Reno and was in search of a new hairstylist. My hair was a mess after 8 months. I was lucky to find a LivingSocial coupon for Jeni . The best hair stylist EVER!! After all her questions to learn about my personality, likes, dislikes, I realized just how great she was and said, I trust you, so surprise me. The best cut, color and highlights. Jeni is a true professional and shares her knowledge. I highly recommend Jeni for any hair needs and any age group. SHE LISTENS! read more

I had a very relaxing pedicure by Sabrina Palmer. This is very much unlike the strip mall places that want to get you in and out. It was very relaxing and Sabrina took her time and focused on the areas I wanted. Go to Sabrina for your next pedicure. You won't be disappointed! read more

I discovered this place when I bought a deal on Living Social for a hair cut and highlights with Jeni Johnson. When i went there for the first time, i loved the elegant and peaceful ambience of the salon. I also absolutely loved Jeni's personality and what she did with my hair so I decided I'd definitely come back and i did today. I just got another amazing hair cut with her which I'm totally in love with. Jeni is very professional, creative and thorough. She simply knows the hair magic!:) read more

It's a little different where this salon is located, but we all know you shouldn't judge a book by the cover! It's a clean, very cute salon. I've been seeing Sabrina for my amazing monthly pedicures. She's clean, efficient and very thorough, I have never had any issues whatsoever. She's a very talented nail technician and you can tell that she loves what she does, it shows in her work!

I just recently moved to Reno from Florida and was not just looking for a new hair stylist but desperately needing my "platinum" color fixed after a botched hair color I received a few months ago. I did my research online and found Jeni. All reviews painted her out to be the master color artist...and she did NOT disappoint! She was absolutely amazing! I was a nervous wreck after my last sit down at a salon, however, the second I sat down I was at ease. Just as I had done my research on her, she sat me down and did research on my hair. Asked several questions about my hair and "hair habits" before even touching my hair. Super impressed! She went to work and gave me the best cut and color I have ever had!! What a life saver!! Best hair stylist I have ever been to and I look forward to my next visit!! read more

My favorite day is always a day that I have a Shellac manicure and/or pedicure scheduled with Sabrina Palmer at Intrinsic A Salon. Sabrina is absolutely amazing! She is very creative, knowledgable, and easy to talk to, making every visit a relaxing and calming experience. I always look forward to what ideas Sabrina has for my nails as her nail art is divine! Truly adds to the experience! She can do foil, glitter, and stamping! The results are amazing and long-lasting! I always get compliments on my nails! As far as the salon, I was initially drawn here in May 2014 because Sabrina is CND Shellac certified. I had never heard of the salon before, but due to my research on Shellac manicures I decided to give it a try. The salon is clean, nicely decorated, and they have amazing products for sale. It isn't that close to my house, but is definitely worth the drive! I would highly recommend this salon for its nail services! So treat yourself! Sabrina takes her time with your appointment, uses products that are luxurious, and makes you feel at ease. You are in good hands with Sabrina at Intrinsic A Salon!! read more

My first time today at this salon, It was beautiful inside. Very clean and welcoming! My pedicure from Sabrina Palmer was wonderful, very relaxing and refreshing. I would tell everyone I know to go here and get their nails done by Sabrina! read more

After being blown off by 6 other stylists in the area, I was finally referred to Jeni J. at Intrinsic A Salon. From the moment I walked in I knew I was going to have an amazing experience. She gave me the most thorough consultation I've ever had, for someone with ultra light, bleached blonde hair (and being in the beauty industry myself) this really instilled my confidence in her ability to accurately pinpoint my personal needs. Boy was I right. I absolutely LOVE my hair. She addressed each concern head on and restored life and shine to my damaged and overly processed hair. Her shampooing is uhmazing. She recommended some Phyto Products that have instantly become staples in my routine. Don't worry about being forgotten under a dryer here, Jeni is attentive and an expert at her craft. I am so greatfull for my initial referral to her and highly recommend anyone seeking a rich multifaceted blonde to ask for Jeni J. read more

Started with Jeni J using a Groupon or LIving Soc coupon...usually I'm not impressed by what salons are being advertised and find their 'stylists' to be fresh graduates who have a mind of their own. Not with Jeni J though! Have been going to her for a few months now and love her! read more

I hadn't had my hair professionally cut or colored in 10 years because honestly I couldn't find a salon in Reno that could do it right for a reasonable price. Plus I was looking for a place that I would be comfortable and enjoy going to. Robin and Wade at Intrinsic are wonderful. They are so comfortable to be around and really CARE about what you want to do with your hair. They do an amazing job and I have never been happier with my hair EVER! The salon is so relaxing and cozy. I love the way it looks and feels and the time I spend there is fun and relaxing.I look forward to going there. If you want a great experience, reasonable rates, and getting what YOU want out of a salon, go to Intrinsic!! read more

The salon is in the basement of a business building, the building itself is dirty and smells horrible. I've come to this salon a couple times and both of the times I wasn't happy at all. Both of the nail techs(I won't mention names) I saw probably could have done a MUCH better job. I will NOT be returning and I will NOT be recommending it to anybody! read more
