I've been a loyal client of Alan Koa Salon and Spa for three years, ever since I followed my…read morehairstylist here from another salon. This downtown gem is the perfect mix of trendy and classic, offering a stylish yet welcoming atmosphere where you'll feel comfortable, whether you're a professional or a student. Located right on the State Street Promenade and just blocks from campus and the Capitol. In July, I literally crossed the street after exiting the salon and had a man say, "Tell your boyfriend or husband he is blessed." So, if you want the same results, bookmark this review now and keep reading to find out who to schedule with! The salon features a comfortable waiting area, and the elevator access makes it easy for everyone to get to this fourth floor space. There's a pay parking garage attached, so parking is generally available if you're coming in from out of the area. I'm always impressed by the visible presence of the owner, which speaks to her dedication to the business. Plus, I often see stylists besides my own working time after time that I am there, so the fact that staff stays on year after year indicates to me there is a reason they stay on. Scheduling can be done by phone or online. Always available and easy. At the time of this writing there are some evening hours so book your next cut or color now. Tell Saiegon I sent you!

She takes care to listen and then applies her gifts to create an external reflection of each client's beautiful inner qualities. Anna is invested in creative expression coupled with excellence.

Anna took the time to assure that the style would last through the evening and that Isabella felt pretty so she could enjoy her evening and focus on the memory. Thank you, Anna'

I usually just get out of the shower and go, occasionally blow drying if I have the time. That being said, I've never been satisfied with discount salons - I like to keep it simple, but I have a short cut and always walk out thinking it looks terrible. I also don't want to spend $50 on a haircut, so I've always dreaded the whole ordeal. Every other review is right on about this place. For the price, it's the best haircut I've ever had. Dan is a genuinely friendly guy, easy to talk to and definitely knows hair. I told him what I wanted - to pull my bangs straight forward without looking like a sheepdog and a trim everywhere else - and he knew exactly where to go from there. He suggested a razor cut instead of a scissor cut, I told him to go with whatever he thought would be best and it turned out great. They also have a 7 day guarantee, which I think is excellent. I've left salons before happy with the cut (especially because they've just styled it) but once I get it washed and back to 'normal', I'm no longer satisfied. I think this is a great way to ensure customers are truly satisfied with their experience here. He also did an excellent job on my eyebrows! I'm looking forward to coming back!

Sharing knowledge and information, so that your cut works with the hair you have! Let's face it ladies, we all want a fancy styles, but if that style won't look good on us...If the stylist just "yes us" that's not a stylist we need cutting our hair! Dan's a stylist that knows what will or willnot work and is honest, which for me speaks volumes of talent!

AMAZING I moved to Madison a few months ago from Chicago,…read moreand was looking for someone who would be able to do black hair (relaxers, good blowouts, extensions, etc). Rockka Lashawn was better than I even hoped for! She made sure I got my hair done just how I wanted it, was really cool, offered water (and wine..but it was like 9am so maybe next time), let me watch real housewives while she worked, and worked pretty quickly. You can tell she cares about what she is doing. Literally the only hitch was that she was like 10 min late, and that's NOTHING compared to some other salons I've been to. She has a spot in the sola studios space which, if you have not been, is like an arcade with many individual salons/services. The space is clean and bright and comfortable. also, she takes venmo (!!!) DEFINITELY recommend

I could barely tell that anything had been done to her hair. I called the salon and spoke with a receptionist who said she would forward my concerns to the owner, Nicole. Nicole called me pretending that she had no idea what I had called about in the first place. Insulting. Her "Senior" stylist was only charging the "going" rate. Go to Anaala if you want to be overcharged and unhappy with the results, not to mention spoken to like a child if you dare complain.

I met with Quinley and she was such a delight. Super bubbly and kind, made me feel comfortable, and provided great tips and recommendations for my hair. I have ultra curly hair, and haven't always had the best of luck with even haircuts. Quinley was really attentive and kept making little snips here and there until it was perfect. I was really pleased with my experience with a haircut that I booked a followup appointment to get my hair colored. I mentioned some concerns with my hair growing out and Quinley provided me with different options, and which one she thinks would work best for what I was looking for. Super cute little studio, nice music playing, they offer coffee, water or tea, and the hair washing stations are ultra comfortable.
