Yes it's true in my adult life I have never gotten a haircut in a Salon!…read more Yes I have been to many barber shops, and yes it's true I cut my own hair from time to time! But this was a blast! Jaclynn was fantastic and made the experience fun and exciting! She took her time and made sure my cut was exactly what I came for! I got a shampoo and cut for only 37 bucks and it was totally worth it! The music she was playing was right up my alley and her conversation flow made the haircut experience all the better! Axis is super nice and clean! They do cuts, nails, pedi, massage too! Convenient location on Ingersoll and booking was a breeze! Got a reminder text before my appointment too! This was an enjoyable experience!

I came here for a massage and a haircut…read more The massage was excellent. First off, many masseuses are super concerned and careful when you tell them "please just do whatever it takes to get the knots out. You can literally punch me in the back, I assure you." Well, she didn't punch me, far from it. However, she DID do exactly what I asked and put her all into getting the stubborn knots out. This takes some serious pressure, and I felt immensely relieved afterward. Brooke was my stylist and I liked her a lot. She's got a personality that really resonated with me, and I liked her vibe. I came to her with brown hair and left with electric blue. She did a good job and it was a fun day! The only thing I didn't like was whatever dye they use at Axis. Brooke said they do organic, vegan, animal-friendly whatever stuff as much as possible, and I don't recall exactly what brand the dye was...but it faded and transferred more and faster than any other vivid I've ever had, and I've had a lot! Good on them for being ethical, though!

She styled it nicely, so I wasn't aware of how bad the cut was. It is not even on the sides. I didn't want bangs, but she definitely cut pieces that are way too short. This is the worst hard haircut I've ever had in my life!

We did not know we needed an appointment but Maddy still fit us in and treated us with care and expertise. They not only honor the wig voucher that was gifted from folks affiliated with the cancer center, but they also are part of a program that makes up the difference! She got a great $550 wig at no cost to her! Do note that they only have synthetic wigs so if you are looking for human hair ( we will get another one somewhere else), this is not the place. Also, they did not have the color we needed but they ordered one and we should have it in 5-7 business days.

Beyond a Stylist: A True Angel on My Wedding Week…read more I cannot say enough about Tina--she went above and beyond in every possible way. Not only did she deliver a gorgeous hairstyle that made me feel beautiful and bridal, but she showed the kind of grace, patience, and kindness that every bride (and any average person) dreams of during such a chaotic time. I was 30 minutes late to our appointment--I was her last visit of the night, and I felt terrible for running behind with all the last-minute wedding errands. But instead of stress or judgment, I was met with total understanding. Her energy was calm, uplifting, and exactly what I needed in that moment. She even stood by my side as I called my tailor about a last-minute issue with my dress, and advocated for me on the phone. That's the kind of heart she has. She didn't have to do any of that, but she did--because that's who she is: thoughtful, supportive, and just an incredible human. Her presence helped ground me in the midst of the chaos, and her work made me feel beautiful. She's not just a hairstylist--she's a calming force, a hype woman, and someone I'd trust a hundred times over.

The proprietor is Tina Turner not the legendary Tina, but one just as astute that is in oils, weaves, press, curls and she could even create a fashionable lace wig for your outings. Perhaps the most notable for me would be the soothing wash and hot oil treatment. To hide that touch of grey you might treat yourself to a rinse. After all is said and done, you walk out with a style that you might just be able to keep up. The prices are modest-- with the new COVID procedures you will be asked Questions, temperature check, put on your mask, etc. Sanitation strategies are followed as well as most wearing a mask when they enter. I hate crowds, and stylists who are not time conscious as to my time as it relates to a scheduled appointment--Tina's pretty good at spacing out clients where you do not have to spend all day in the shop. Parking is good with a public parking lot next door. Customers must have a credit card on file and must schedule appointments--gone may be the days of "walk on in, " due to Corona. The environment is safe and pleasant. So if you need an up do or a down home style check the shop out --but call-- leave a message and wait for a response.

Piper has been my stylist from the beginning- she is wonderful and everything you could want in a stylist- friendly, explains every service well, answers all my questions and great At conversation. I also love how collaborative this team is, if a stylist can't get you in they work really well with their team to get you in. They share formulas and it's truly collaborative at Amara. Complimentary beverages upon arrival. They discuss every service and price point before starting to make sure you are comfortable and they also work around your budget too. I've personally had my hair done by both Piper and Addison who are wonderful but the whole team is super friendly. I have also had my daughter's hair cut here by Piper and she is wonderful and patient with kids as well. This salon is also very beautiful and just did an expansion and remodel of their beautiful space to welcome more stylists to the team. Michelle the owner is wonderful and you can tell she really cares about her team!

I wanted to share this review with as many as possible. I have never left a negative review for…read moreanyone in my life. However, in this circumstance, I really feel I have a duty to do so. I am reviewing Tiffany Allen, Hair Stylist, from Studio 9, in Des Moines, Iowa. If I could give a zero, I would. Here is why. My daughter got married a month ago at a destination resort. I had an updo for the wedding that I loved. I wanted to duplicate the same style for the reception in Des Moines, Iowa this past weekend. I visited with Tiffany Allen from Studio 9, in Des Moines, multiple times. I sent her my picture I wanted to duplicate. She said she could do it. I asked her if she was confident in this updo style, to which her response was "yes". On the day of the reception, we discussed the style with the picture again. Once again, I asked her if she was confident, to which she replied, "yes". Midway through the appointment, I thought to myself that it wasn't looking like the first time. I showed her the picture again and asked for a few adjustments. She still was unable to make the changes. At this point, I knew I was in trouble. I really do not feel like I need to explain any more. I think the pictures will speak for them selves. I will share the picture I modeled my request off of as well as the picture of my first updo for the wedding out of the country, and then my updo I received from Tiffany Allen, Studio 9. I would also like to add, I told her I wasn't happy about her services to give her a chance to apologize. She did not. I asked for a partial refund, and she did not respond. VERY POOR WAY TO RUN A BUSINESS!

High quality and affordable hair salon owned by experienced Asian Americans…read more This place is well known among the Southeast Asian American community in Des Moines. I believe it is run by Lao individuals. I've been visiting since I was in high school to get good hair cuts and styling. Whenever I go, they usually do things pretty quickly. I came here for my high school prom several years ago, and I was pleased with how they curled my hair. Staff are personable, friendly, and attentive to your desires. Pricing is good. A haircut can average to be about 13 bucks. I got my hair styled for about $25 for a formal event. I highly recommend this local salon!
