Right when you walk in, there's nobody to greet you. Everyone's just busy working and you're standing there like, what do I do? So I just sat down in the little seating area they have. Nobody looked up or said a word to me. So I figured I'll just sit here and see what goes on. This can't be for real. A girl came all the way from the back and said to me and I quote. "Do you know who you're here to see?" this was my first time there.... I just happen to remember the girls name who I made the appointment with online, and I said Rachel. She says OK and walked away. So I don't know who Rachel is of the eight people there , and nobody looked up and smiled and said hi I'm Rachel. I was blown away and just sat there watching everybody in their own world. The vibe in there was so weird. The salon is dreary and dirty. The mirrors were filthy. There was hair all over the floor (i'm not referring to the fresh cut hair from a client in a chair) and baseboards. It was something like I've never seen before. The first interaction I had with Rachel is when she was 10 minutes behind schedule. She finally looked up at me and said I'm sorry. I'll be right with you. I'm almost done. Rachel happened to be the second stylist from the door area, where I was sitting, so when I said I was there to see Rachel, she probably should've looked up and said something to me at that time. Hi Claudia nice to meet you, I'm Rachel. I'm just finishing up this client. I'm a few minutes behind. That did not happen. The First icon and communication was not until she acknowledged she was running late. The fact that they don't have somebody their greeting people is not very welcoming. I felt like walking out, but had to stay. Thank God, I was just getting a haircut. Rachel was nice. I was being quiet because I was very irritated and she told me she could tell I was nervous (because I was being short with the small talk questions) I should've said at that point- No this is me irritated AF and fuming inside, not nervous at all, but she was cutting my hair so I had to be mindful of that. I wasn't up for a small talk. I just wanted to get out of there. My haircut went well, no complaints there. When we were done she just said thanks for coming. She didn't ask if I would like to rebook. I don't know if that's just her thing or if she knew I was irritated. Basically zero customer service in that salon. What they're portraying online is not what's going on in there Pretty sure the photos online of the salon are not the photos of that salon. The walls are different. The lighting is different. I for sure will not go back and highly recommend nobody going there. read more

Audrey is my stylist & she is so talented & knowledgable! She has been doing my hair since she was in cosmetology school & even then she was known as being best for Blonding & hi-lights. She kills the icy blonde look on me& my sew in extensions every time! Not to mention she is a kind soul & will make you feel so comfortable & is so fun to talk to! All the other stylists here are super sweet as well as the owner! Fun & classy vibe, highly reccomend Kiwi Blue! read more

First off, what a fun salon name! That already sends quality, unique vibes. How lucky Boise is to be getting a top tier stylist- Autumn! Her spirit, drive and authenticity is truly one of a kind- before I met her, I fumbled around with communicating what my taste was, with autumn she hit the mark confidently, with an "oh yes, I got you!" Never have I left visits without feeling absolutely gorgeous- autumn has an innate knowing of her art, and it's delivered so effortless. Yes, I adore her energy- she will have you feeling comfortable, heard, and pampered. I've gone for at least 4-5 years I think now? Again, so lucky to have this gem join your kiwi blue team - she stands out just as much as the name, even more so. ;) read more

Let me start off by saying Audrey is by far, without a doubt the best hair stylist I've ever had the pleasure of going to. From the moment I met her I immediately felt at ease and that I could trust my hair in her hands. She does such a good job of understanding your wants and needs and accommodates for what you ask for. Amazing vibes!! I've gotten partial highlights and extensions with her. I have never been to the same hair stylist twice as I haven't felt confident or satisfied with their work, this is until I met Audrey. I can happily say I will be going to Audrey with my hair needs from here on out (including for my wedding in June). Not to mention she has some of the best pricing I have ever seen! You won't be disappointed! read more

Kiwi Blue Salon - My partial highlight with extensions - Waxing Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Autumn is the best!! She's been doing my hair for over 5 years. I love that she will not sacrifice the health of your hair when you have a crazy request like going from red hair to brunette with blonde highlights. She is super knowledgeable and stays up to date on the latest trends and techniques! I always look forward to my hair appointments with Autumn. read more

Autumn deserves all the stars I can give! I've been going to her for years, and you will not find a colorist that is more talented or knowledgeable. She gives me the perfect blonde every time. She listens when I want to go a little darker or lighter, and I am left feeling so good about my hair and she's so fun to talk with! I could not be happier with her and her services. read more

Destiny is very talented! She always goes above and beyond my expectations. I always LOVE my haircut and my color looks so natural. Thank you Destiny!! read more

Such a hidden gem!!! I recently found this salon by accident, as I work around the corner and looked up nearby salons that sold Davines. When I walked in the salon was beautiful!! I was immediately welcomed and helped even though everyone was busy, and there is not a front desk. After purchasing my products I went home and browsed the website, and immediately knew I had to book an appointment with Bailee. I saw her work on IG and knew my hair needed some of that blonde love! The compliments I've received on the color speak volumes to her work, as I've been getting my hair colored for over 20 years and no one seemed to notice anymore...until Bailee! read more

Kiwi Blue Salon - Bailee's amazing work!! - Waxing Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Online scheduling was super easy, I was able to get an appointment the next morning with Paloma. She was super personable,listened to everything I wanted for my haircut and was just knowledgeable. The Salon is cute and there's free parking right outside! read more

Awesome salon! Audrey is a very talented colorist. Loved my bayalage. Highly recommend!

Destiny honestly killed it!! I went in just wanting more dimension to my hair without going full blonde and showed her a few references , but she went above and beyond! I have lots of hair but it only took her about 3 hours and her personality made it feel like I was just hanging out w/ a friend. I can't recommend her enough, the other gals were also hard at work! I did have to pay an extra fee for thick hair, but that's nothing new. read more

Kiwi Blue Salon - Long thick hair Balayage by Destiny! - Waxing Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Destiny always does an amazing job! She has such an amazing attitude it's so much fun to get my hair done! I would recommend to everyone, the whole salon is a vibe! read more

Definition of Balayage - a technique for highlighting hair in which the dye is painted on in such a way as to create a graduated, natural looking effect. Got balayage done here. Requested an ash tone. This is what it looks like 3 weeks after. Yes toner fades but even with fading it should look even and not patchy. Ended up paying $600 to get a color correction treatment done elsewhere. Salon seems to do good work. One of their stylist is supposed to be experienced with black hair and it didn't turn out well. Wouldn't recommend for dark hair tones. read more

I've been thinking about writing this review since Monday. It is now Wednesday. I got my hair cut by the woman I have been going to for about six months or so. She is one of the few I've personally found that can cut side bangs. Every time I go there I get my bangs cut. While sitting in her chair I said that my bangs were cut too blunt last time they need to be angled more. She asked where I start them and I said by my right eye. So pretty far over. While she was cutting she asked where I wanted them to start and we both said mid eye or so. She started to cut my bangs and I noticed that she was cutting more hair than normal. I didn't go to school for this, I don't know what to do. I should I have watched her. She gave me fringe bangs. I immediately said no i don't like them. I'm not happy with them. She said that she misheard me when I said what I wanted. I don't know where I misspoke, but if that was what she heard why didn't she ask me if I was sure I wanted to go with the fringe? I don't care if that is what everyone is getting now. This is one part of my hair that I cannot get over if done wrong. I seriously dislike my haircut so much now. Like, Looking at my own face makes me mad and I think I look ugly. Not what you want when leaving the hair dresser that is supposed to make you feel good about yourself. She did apologize multiple times, but I just can't. I've never even asked for fringe. She still charged me $50 for the hair cut, but she did apologize. I just don't know how honest that apology was looking at past interactions and how I've gotten my hair done. I know my hair will grow back. It will take a few weeks, but in those few weeks for it to get long enough, I honestly don't like what I see on the mirror. read more

I went to this salon and ask for a balayage and the stylist ended up putting the bleach all the up to the roots of my hair so it ended up not looking good/orange considering I had brown dye on my ends I ask if I could come back and do a root color and different toner on the ends because I dident like it and she said sure I won't recharge you so I went back in and she tried to cancel on me but my hair looked so bad I said I had to come in and so she ended up fixing it but it still just looked like a grown out blonde / brown root situation and she ended up recharging me and then at the end just said sorry but we had to do a lot and then I said ok I just re paid and went to my car and cried because i literally felt scammed you can tell someone you won't recharge them and then charge them the girl is lucky I never messaged her boss or the owner read more

They seem to be good but they want to take your money. Specially if you go to the less experience stylist. They do not care if you are happy with the results, not fixing or accommodates at all. One of their stylist is supposed to be experienced with black hair or at least dark brown and it didn't turn out well. Wouldn't recommend for dark hair tones. read more

Madi is THE BEST!! Understood my vision and needs completely, and worked so quickly! Left with exactly what I wanted, will be back next time! Highly recommend read more

Friend recommended to me. Relaxing atmosphere and friendly service. Had my hair cut about 2 weeks ago. Loved it. It was done quick very professionally. The owner did my hair. Loved how she style my hair. The shampoo and conditioner used was high quality. She used some very famous branded tools which limited the damage of my hair and created a beautiful shine. read more

Wow - my hair looked amazing after Lynn washed, cut, and dried my hair. Definitely recommend!

What a surprise! I called at noon on Monday seeing if I could get a haircut. She told me she should could get me in at 5:15 that day. Yayee. Exciting! I walked into Kiwi Blue at 5:10 and I was greeted by Danette Bjornstad. She offered me a glass of wine or beer, I gladly accepted a glass of wine, it was a long day. Danette washed, cut my hairs, and styled my new dew all while I sipped wine! I enjoyed my experience and I look forward to coming back for some highlights. Kiwi Blue is hip but simple, almost the best kind of atmosphere. read more

If you're looking for a good spot to get your hair cut, styled or highlighted go here! I love that it's close to downtown Boise but still away from the traffic of it all. Elizabeth is awesome and does great work so I would recommend asking for her. I'm sure all the staff is great but I only know her work. :) read more

Where to start?? I got a haircut from Collette and I haven't stopped admiring it for a week and a half. The environment of the salon was relaxed, yet lively, as 90s pandora was on, I think. (Definitely heard Backstreet Boys and Alanis Morrisette!) Odd location I felt like for such a great salon but that's probably me being used to Portland. Thank you Collette for the best haircut and experience a girl could ask for. It's the simple things in life :) read more

Jamie cut and styled my hair today and she did an incredible job! It came out absolutely perfectly, and I couldn't be happier.

Had never been here before - visiting from out of town. Walked in to have my hair dyed back to brown from bleach blonde. Unfortunately I don't recall the woman's name who agreed to squeeze me in while she still had a free hour since we moved so quickly; maybe the salon can reply with her name if she sees this. I told her what I was going for, back to slightly darker than my natural color, we flipped through color swatches and chatted, and she got to work. Very fast, very reasonably priced, and the color turned out perfect! Thank you! If I lived here, you'd definitely have a return customer :) read more

Elizabeth at Kiwi Blue Salon is my favorite stylist ever! I've been going to her for over a year - a record! I followed her from her previous salon. I like it better at Kiwi Blue. Elizabeth is a miracle worker at blonde, but she does all hair. My hair is dark brown, but see the attached photo how Elizabeth transformed it. I am in love with my hair now! The salon is modern and clean with plenty of free parking right out front and no traffic jams to get there. The chairs are good for my bad back, and the shampoo bowls are great, too, with no water on my back. Elizabeth has the best personality of any stylist I ever went to. She treats me like a friend, which makes it nice to go there. The terrific results keep me coming back! read more

Kiwi Blue Salon - Elizabeth is a miracle worker, my hair was dark brown. - Waxing Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Great salon - clean and chic inside, excellent atmosphere. Jamie Powers is my stylist there and she does an excellent and fast men's haircut and a great price. read more

Super cute and sweet staff. I loved my haircut and felt that they totally put in the time and effort even though I was a last minute booking first time customer! Colette was awesome :) read more

Found the place online. That never goes well. It did this time. I have been to two separate stylists there and my hair always comes out super cute dyed and cut. i am so happy when I leave there. I have been to other salons and paid more. I get a barely trained young person who is stressed for time because of the constraints they put on her/him. Not here. Bailee did my hair perfectly last time. highly recommend!! read more

Paloma is the absolute best and the stylist you want! She listen attentively to what I'm wanting and then goes above and beyond my expectations. She makes me feel beautiful every time I leave after a service. The salon environment is relaxing and chic. Highly recommend!! read more

This salon was fabulous! The salon itself is so beautiful and modern. Such a welcoming environment. I was also offered a drink during my appointment. I thought this was a nice touch! My stylist, who is also the owner, Danette, was amazing. She was so nice and made my hair look amazing. Even giving me a tip on how to style my hair! I'll definitely be coming back here. Highly recommend. You won't be disappointed. read more

I've been having my hair done at Kiwi Blue for almost 2 years by professional stylist, Colette Hood. Colette is so thorough about my hair, always asking if I was happy with what was done at the previous appt. and if I'd like to change things up. She is up to date with all the latest trends and looks, as well as educates other stylist. If your looking for a color expert and someone who truly treats you like a guest, then I highly suggest making an appt. with Colette Hood. read more

Not impressed with this pricey salon. Paid $160. (was not expecting to pay for a cut and color was only temporary).. Friendly staff, but should let client know ahead what they will be charged. Paid $300. for two cuts and color, ouch! read more

I called one morning with the hope of getting in at my lunch. Really didn't have much hope but Danette had an opening so I grabbed it. My stylist had moved out of the area a couple of years ago and I could not find anyone who would listen to what I wanted and struggled with bad cuts. I've waited a couple of days to review so I could wash and style my hair and I am amazed at the difference! The cut was perfect and I'm in love with my hair again! The salon was nice and close to my work so I will definitely be going back! Thank you Danette and Kiwi Blue! read more

Miranda literally performed a miracle by giving me the perfect pixie cut even though I had damaged thin hair. I was also able to fit an appointment within 24 hours. read more

I love this salon!! I was in desperate need to get a color touch up and was able to get an appointment within 24 hours (even with a groupon). I got a blonde baylage from Colette and I have never been so in love with my hair! She gave me exactly what I wanted and even helped to match the color to my skin tone. The salon was clean and stylish with a super nice staff! I will definitely be back when I'm in town, thanks for a great job Colette!! read more

I hadn't heard Christina Aguilera's "Genie in a Bottle" since 2003. But since moving to Boise two months ago, I've heard it on the radio... twice. That dashed my hopes for being able to get a stylish, modern haircut in this town. But I hit the jackpot with Kiwi Blue - selected venue for my first haircut in Boise because they're the only salon between work and home. For only $40 (pre-tip), Jessica gave me a sleek layered cut that frames my face, with a yaw of wispy bangs. It looks magazine. It's almost editorial. It can handle everyday. It's the cut I salon-hopped for 5 years to find. And, amazingly, I can replicate the salon style at home. But finding a salon isn't just about the cut - it's equally about the stylists. If a stylist can't do her own hair, she's getting as close to mine as Jerry Sandusky can get to a playground. Most every salon has one of these lost causes - someone with unnatural cherry-red extensions in an otherwise black mop, maybe a stylist with the Bette Midler in "Gypsy" hair, or the esthetician whose eye makeup looks like Amy Winehouse with a shiner. But not so at Kiwi Blue! There, everyone is put-together, youthful, and plugged in to the latest styles, without being slaves to trends that pass faster than grocery store hair color fades. The ladies at Kiwi Blue make you want to look like them, but they're so casual and down-to-earth that their styles aren't unattainable. Kiwi Blue champions the easy, organic look. They won't give you a cut that takes more than 20 minutes to style. Their colors, textures, and movements are natural, and the stylists will customize the style to your hair type and face shape. They exclusively carry Bumble & bumble products. They're efficient - my shampoo, cut, and style took less than 50 minutes. And as is only appropriate for such a hip salon, Kiwi Blue streams an incredible Pandora channel that's so today - Mumford & Sons, AWOLNATION, Imagine Dragons. If you don't want to wait 6 years to hear that stuff over the Boise airwaves, go to Kiwi Blue, and get a stylish new 'do at the same time. read more

Bad experience. Spend $100 for highlights that you won't be able to see cause if u just compare my hair before and after .... No difference! Seriously ! I've never had anything like that in my life. Also when hairstylist tried to blow dry and style my hair she spend 20 min and when I looked up in the mirror ... No volume , no style and super dry hair read more

I just came home to a load of compliments from my husband after having Crystal Alexander highlight and trim my blonde head. I totally love the look, it's as if she read my mind and effortlessly made it happen! Kiwi Blue Salon is a very modern, yet chic, salon that is VERY clean. The salon is full of stylish hairdressers all with great energy and fun to talk to. Walking in the salon, you would expect to pay a high-end price, but leave surprised with a very moderate total for your services. read more

I was looking for a new salon. Kiwi Blue is right around the corner from me and very convenient. Jessica did a great job on my hair and eyebrows. She really took her time with me - which I appreciated, given the fact I kept telling her, "it's no big deal, my hair will be fine." Set up is clean and funky, and everyone there is friendly and professional. Pretty sure these guys are my new salon :) read more
