I won't name who it was that did my service, she was a very nice person, just not a person you'd want doing your Brazilian. I felt like communication was something I had to reiterate and at one point I looked down and saw the side that was "finished" flared up and bruised along with fine hairs that remained despite the trauma. That is actually the word I would use to describe my experience, traumatizing.

Sure in the Des Moines Area we have loads of options at premium prices, but do you get top notch quality products from the best technicians? I have allowed numerous businesses to try and top others in facials, nail care, hair, clothing, and eye lash extensions only to have buyers remorse. At J Michaels I have returned for high quality eye lash extensions from Cassie. Here I have no worries on the length, glue, eyelash quality, or time because Cassie is a top notch Eye Lash and Brow Technician who knows her craft and after having her attend to my lashes for over six years I have no worries as I settle into a private room and allow her to work her magic allowing me peace and comfort. Even though they are not experts in my type of hair the techniques I see them applying to the upscale customers are exquisite and chic many walk out looking like a half million dollars. The total aura of the environment is lady chic, clean, and cosmetically sterile with a good venting system and super friendly and very professional customer oriented stylists. Let me not forget the owner (female entrepreneur) who is hands on making sure the establishment stays upscale, chic and price competitive.

I cut off 5-6 inches of my hair and added dimensional highlights and color. This was a BIG change for me and she did exactly what I wanted according to our consult and my inspo pictures, while keeping realistic ideas since I started with a very dark base color. The products used at this salon left my hair smelling and feeling good for days after each time I came in. I will be seeing her again!

I've gone here a few times for eyebrow waxes and had varying experiences. The last time I went…read moreearlier this year it was $10.70 which seems like a fair price however there were a few hairs left over as they don't pluck any hairs that aren't removed with the wax but I wasn't overly worried. My most recent visit it was $16.50 for a simple eyebrow wax. As a broke college student this was a major shock when it came time to check out. I drive home just to see there's so much hair that was not waxed off. The entire upper portion of my eyebrow still had hair along with in between them and a few hairs underneath my eyebrow. I remember her waxing these portions, but there is very clearly hair there. In my honest opinion, it is very hit or miss here and absolutely not worth 16$ when you get a half waxed eyebrow. I've added pictures of the day after the wax.

She's exceptional at what she does and genuinely one of the kindest people you'll meet. My haircut is fairly simple, but I've seen firsthand the work she does with women's hair through several close friends who go to her, and she is incredibly talented -- precise, consistent, and thoughtful in her approach. You can tell she truly cares about her clients and takes real pride in her craft. She's also great at consulting with me on the right products, personalized specifically for my hair and skin. Their brand new location in the Atlas Building in West Des Moines is stunning. The space is beautifully designed -- elegant, refined, and thoughtfully done while still feeling welcoming and comfortable. It's conveniently located, easy to access, and truly elevates the entire experience. The team is always professional and welcoming, and the level of service is consistently top tier. I also appreciate that they've expanded their services beyond what was offered at the West Glen location -- it really feels like a full-service destination now. Another big plus is their use of Aveda products. They're excellent for sensitive skin, made with naturally derived ingredients, and the brand is known for environmentally responsible practices and more sustainable packaging. I personally purchase both Aveda hair and skincare products from Serenity, and they always have a great selection in stock. Serenity continues to set a high standard for quality, service, and overall experience. Highly recommend.
