You want to talk about customer service? I have to give a huge shoutout to Mane Attraction--and especially Melody and her front office superstar, Mary Beth. I was reviewing old finances and noticed a duplicate $500 charge from March 2024. Chase told me it was too old to dispute, so I reached out directly. Not only did Melody respond right away, but Mary Beth took the time to dig into it--and just a few days later, they confirmed a credit back to me. That kind of integrity and follow-through is rare these days. It's exactly why local businesses matter--they truly take care of their clients. Highly recommend supporting this amazing team! read more

Mane Attraction - Feeling Fantastic! My eye liner Pictures 6/30/18 - Hair Salons Near Me - Truckee, California

I came here for the price! I can't remember my stylist's name but she was friendly and experienced. She was careful to cut my hair on the longer side first, before confirming with me that I wanted shorter. Quick & professional. Not the ambience I'm used to when I go to a salon. The stylists were all older. read more

Wow! This was my first time at mane attraction in Truckee and I'm happy to say I would return. My stylist was Christina she was youthful and had a great approach to what we were doing with my hair. She made me feel super comfortable we chatted for hours and she listened to what I wanted which is super important. The salon was busy and had great energy. I'm SOOOO happy with the cut, color and style she gave me. I would highly recommend Christina's services at Mane attraction salon Truckee! read more

I was apprehensive about seeing a new stylist, but really needed a haircut before heading back home in two weeks. Andrea did a great job, did what I asked, and was very meticulous. Would definitely see her again when I'm back in town. read more

When I need a facial or waxing services I go to Mane Attraction - I trust the professionals working here. My skin is pretty sensitive and the cold and dry air in the mountains and the intense sun takes a toll here. I love their product lines too - safe, natural, and the highest quality like Eminence and Epience. Super friendly atmosphere overall too! read more

Danielle and Shelly make a fantastic wedding beauty squad! I was thrilled with my bridal hair and makeup for the day, they made me look polished without looking like an overdone pageant queen. The makeup felt great and stayed on all day and I even had some 'leftover' eye makeup for the next day. The hair up-do looked beautiful and my style stayed where it needed to be. Some of our family wedding guests also went there for hair and makeup after me and everyone looked great. I found Mane Attraction after combing through every other salon with wedding services in the Truckee area, and they were by far the most reasonably priced. I just could not justify spending $500 for hair and makeup like some of the other places! Their pricing also included a trial & consultation which was extremely helpful and they pretty much nailed the look I wanted on the first try. Not to mention, they are both the sweetest people and the salon is lovely and quaint in downtown area, so was really close to my hotel. Definitely give them a call for your wedding, make sure you have check or cash for them. read more

Mane Attraction - Bridal up-do complete, as Shelly works on make-up - Hair Salons Near Me - Truckee, California

When I realized I had forgotten my hot tools, I was really worried that I wouldn't be ready in time for my brother in laws wedding. I called Mane Attraction and the woman who answered the phone was so kind. She called Laura, who came in EARLY to accommodate my needs. The salon is decorated beautifully and all of the women working there were so sweet. Laura was absolutely amazing and styled my hair quickly and beautifully. I gave her loose suggestions on what I was thinking of and she executed it beautifully. I could not have been more happy. 5 stars for Laura and everyone there!! They saved the day!!! read more

Andrea did a wonderful job cutting my hair. She is very meticulous, friendly and professional. The salon is very cute and comfortable. I was happy that it was air conditioned, since it was a warm day for Truckee. I was greeted by a friendly receptionist. It was easy to get an appointment. read more

Marley, thank you for squeezing Mara in today and working later then you planned to make sure she was happy with her cut. She absolutely loves it!! You can't go wrong with Mane Attraction, all their stylists are talented, attentive and kind!! And they offer a variety of services at reasonable prices. read more

Francesca has been doing my hair for a few years now she is always willing to try new things and my hair always turns out awesome she's amazing with color I would highly recommend her! My cousin and mom come up from grass valley and granite Bay and have her do their hair as well.... she's that good read more

I have now been here twice. Last time I came here for a haircut by Alicia which was absolutely amazing. She really listened to what my expectations were and it turned out exactly how I wanted. Today I went to for an eyebrow and eyelash tint by Jan and it was the best I've ever had it done. Usually I'll go to Reno and a lot of color would still be on my skin after (which will obviously go away after a few days) but this time it looked perfect right away. The price was slightly more than what I've been paying in Reno but sooo worth it! (Only 10$ more btw, and I'll save on gas too) I recently moved here from Sweden and have tried a few different places that I wasn't completely satisfied with, so I'm so happy I found this salon. Will definitely become a regular!! read more

I saw Christina for a Brazilian Blow Out and she was AMAZING. The salon is so welcoming and Christina was a pleasure to talk to while she worked. My natural hair is coarse, curly, frizzy and an overall mess. It would take me easily an hour to blow dry straight and then flat iron with every product I could get my hands on... only to start to frizz out a couple of hours later. Since seeing Christina a couple months ago I haven't touched my flat iron once. I simply allow my hair to air dry or speed it up with a quick blow dry and flat brush, 5 minutes max, and it's smooth and straight. I highly recommend seeing her for a Brazilian Blow Out if you have hard to control hair. It's made my mornings and lake days so much easier read more

Mane attraction on Main Street of Trucker is a very cute and professional salon. Melody does my hair. She does amazing color. She is also very accommodating with time she is open late and early. Also she always fits me in quickly as needed. I have called her several times for "hair emergencies" she has always been more than accommodating. She has fit me in and stayed late more than once. I highly recommend this salon. read more

Christina is my favorite person to ever touch my hair! I work in Tahoe seasonally during the summer and this summer I was returning as a bleach blonde. (Naturally I have dark brown hair). My stylist at home in Portland, OR left me brassy and undertoned. I had pretty massive roots and Christina was able to get me in right away and blew my regular guys job out of the water! Not only is her handy work impeccable but her personality is so sweet and pleasant. I was so sad to leave her that I even booked an appointment the day before I was leaving-when my hair had only grown out about 3 weeks since I knew it would take me FOREVER to find someone as meticulous and adorable as her. Run don't walk to her!!! read more

I was in Lake Tahoe for a wedding and made an appointment for my daughter and myself at this salon about two weeks before the wedding. They sent me an email confirmation when the appointment was made and the day before the appointment. They took a credit card number at the time the appointment was made and stated that if I was a no show, they would charge my credit card. I completely understood that. My stylist was running a few minutes late, no big deal. My daughter was taken immediately when we arrived. I told the stylist what I wanted. I was attending a wedding and I wanted a nice flowy and "flippy". My daughter's hair looked amazing. Exactly what she wanted. I was done about 5 minutes later (my stylist started my hair about 15 minutes after my orig appointment) and my hair was flat and frizzy. Not straight, just flat. My daughter's hair cost $45. Well worth it and the stylist was so nice and funny and did an amazing job. Me and my daughter both have thick hair, about shoulder length. When I was finished I mentioned that it wasn't at all what I asked for. The stylist basically shrugged her shoulders and then informed me that she is a "freelance" stylist and I have to pay her directly. $75!!!!!! INSANE!!! I said..."seriously?" She said yes, that's my rate. I said I'll pay but my hair looks no different than it did yesterday morning when I did it. That's not why I go to a salon. She said nothing, but when I handed her a 100 dollar bill she said thank you. I said Um, no I want change. She said not sure if I have change. I said I'm sure the salons register does if you do not. I was not happy with my hair, not happy with her attitude when I mentioned I wasn't happy. She was overpriced and not very good. Again, my daughter's hair looked amazing. That is the only reason why I am giving 3 stars otherwise I would have given one star. read more

I got a good cut and blow dry they were able to take me at the last minute on a Saturday afternoon. This salon is very charming, inside an old historic house with a cheerful modern interior and ample windows. The is a good place to go for a good haircut. read more

I'm sorry Melody and Jan, but I can not justify paying $160, not including my tip, for full leg, brazilian and underarm wax- and the web page prices totaled $150. In other words $200 bucks-not! No one in Truckee does that kind of pricing and there is no way it is worth it, especially since the extras are usually considered add-ons. My fault needing something in Truckee within a week, not same day. read more

I made an appointment for me (The mother of the bride) and my mother (the grandmother of the bride in April of 2022 for a September 2022 wedding in Truckee. I called Mane Attraction and they secured our reservation and even had us send a picture of ourselves so that they had an idea of what to do with our hair. I thought that was plenty of time for me to secure a Hair Up Do Appointment for the special wedding day. One week before the wedding I emailed Mane Attraction to confirm the appointment. There was a response saying confirmed. The day before the wedding I received a call from Mane Attraction at 12:00 P.M. that my appointment for Saturday at 10:00 a.m. was cancelled. Truckee is a small town and in the summer the weekends are filled with weddings so another salon was not an option. I can tell you that I was more than upset and absolutely furious with there lack of personal concern for cancelling such an important appointment, On the day of the wedding I received a call From Mane Attraction at 9:00 a.m. asking if I got the message that my appointment had been cancelled I said yes and asked why it was cancelled and at such a late notice and she said that the person that was going to do both of our hair had called in sick. My question then was why don't you secure someone else to do our hair since this was a long standing appointment and she quite simply said that wasn't possible. I then expressed my discontentment and disappointment of their unprofessionalism and lack of customer service and this person simply said "oh WELL So SORRY" in a rude and distasteful manner. My tip to you is don't make any appointment with Mane Attraction if you are counting on them fulfilling their commitment to you and we my family and all of our 200 friends that were at the wedding will NEVER NEVER EVER recommend or refer this establishment. I would absolutely try someone else in the Truckee Area. read more

I had my permanent makeup done by Melody. I had eyebrows and top and bottom eyeliner. A friend recommended Melody for permanent makeup and I am so grateful I went to her. The eyebrows are beautiful and people-even strangers-give me compliments all the time and are surprised when I tell them they are tattooed! They look very natural and the color and shape are gorgeous. The eyeliner is perfect as well. I don't even need to wear mascara. The lines are even and it brings out my eyes. The bottom liner is much smoother looking than any liner I was able to do myself. I couldn't be happier! read more

Cute little sun drenched salon(it was very sunny the day I was there). Was able to secure an appointment with Amy (who is new) for the same day. I had some highlights put in (I have dark hair) and Amy was able to make it look natural (i.e. sunkissed) versus out of a bottle. She is very talented and very attentive. Look forward to getting future services from Amy. read more

Several years ago Melody was recommended to me by a close friend, for permanent eye makeup. I did the permanent eye liner as it is more difficult for me to draw them on now while wearing glasses. It was great!!! As time passes, it was time to re-do the eye liner. Just did and they look great! Melody is very professional and wonderful at her craft! I highly recommend her services. read more

Huge shout out to Melody. She is professional, personable and best of all, great at permanent makeup!

BRIDAL - I am a bit of a perfectionist and I must say I thought I knew exactly what I wanted when it came to my hair and makeup on my wedding day... Needless to say, I showed up with about 30 pictures of a general idea and little bit out of my element. Shelly walked me through each picture and took the best of all of them and gave me more than I could have ever asked for. My makeup was natural but elegant, simple and not too heavy. Her professional manner and attention to detail really put me at ease. She made valid and knowledgeable suggestions but respected what I wanted all at the same time. I still get compliments on my hair and makeup from that day. Danielle and Shelly have an impeccable reputation and when you work with them you quickly realize why. Your hair and makeup are something you do not want to worry about day of - and I am SO glad I made the right choice in working with them! read more

I have been a client of Melody's at Mane Attraction for too many years to count. The service she provides is outstanding!! Everyone at the salon is very professional and attentive to the client they are working with. They keep up with the latest styles and techniques and are quite good with suggestions, once you are ready to change your look. Everything from cut, color, facials and permanent makeup is top notch!! (And I have used all of those services.) The prices are quite reasonable. And the head massage that comes with the shampoo is worth the price of admission. read more

It was simply time for a haircut... was referred to Mane Attraction by a local realtor so I called to make my appointment on very short notice and at the beginning of the Memorial Day weekend. Shelly fit me in on Friday afternoon and I walked out with the most amazing cut ever! Already scheduled my next appointment for a color for my next trip up in 2 weeks. She was fun to work with, has great ideas and gives the best shampoo massage ever! read more

I had never been here before, then one day I decided to dye my own hair. I was going for burgundy but let me tell you I did real number on it! it was patchy and the color was all wrong. Never trust a box! i looked like a red cheetah it was awful. I called the salon to see if they could get in as soon as possible and they got an appointment with Amy the same day. She was very friendly and listened to exactly what I wanted. She made nice conversation while she fixed the catastrophic result of my handy work. She nailed the color! It looked amazing and I will definitely be seeing her again. They are also one of the more reasonable priced salons in town, I got a very fair price for the work she did. read more

I had my hair cut here yesterday and I look professional again. My hair was terrible after the holiday and my girlfriend was tell me the back of my neck looked like a ducks butt. The experience I had at mane attraction was pleasant. I'm a man and my typical hair cut is just that, a hair cut. I was surprised when francesca washed my hair and conditioned it. I am a plumber and thought that the hair washing sink was cool. It was comfortable. No additional cost. Pleasant conversation and I'm happy to send you or anyone to mane attraction salon read more

I took my kids for haircuts here while on vacation. Emma is super patient and did a great job on both my kids (3 and 6 year olds).
