She truly is amazing at what she does and cares about her clients. Super knowledgeable and lovely. Her space is so cute and she does facials as well! What a score. I will be coming back. Don't hesitate to reach out and book you will not regret it.

Over the 20 some years I have had waxing services, I have been to salons in multiple states and countries and not one of them can hold a candle to the professionalism, the cleanliness, and the skill of Janet. She is fastidious in keeping everything healthy and safe for her friends/clients. She cares not only about the waxing, but the impact on my skin and it has never been better. I wish my budget would also allow for a monthly facial. She is amazing. As a matter of fact, I wish my budget would allow for ALL Of her services. Janet is one of a kind and will make you feel comfortable and cared for. I am a raving fan!!!

When I was new to the eastern IA area, having moved from Chicago, I searched high and low for a…read morehair stylist / parlor that was a good fit. After what seemed to be a relentless search, I finally found Thompson & Co and have been extremely happy with their services and style ever since! First off, the instant you walk in the door, they are extremely accommodating and offer you a drink (water, coffee, beer, wine, etc.) and a comfortable place to sit while you wait for your appointment. As for my appointments, I do not necessarily just always go to the same stylist, as I have had equally good experiences with all of them to-date. It is also easier to schedule on the fly that way :) The stylists are very attentive listeners and do not make you feel bad if you continue to have suggestions until they get your haircut and style just right. They are also good about offering styling suggestions, but do not necessarily try and push their products on you. The other thing that is cool about their stylists, is the parlor not only encourages continued education, more over the parlor brings in other stylist from around the nation and maybe even world to teach them and provide new tips and tricks. I think that is just awesome, and worth supporting. Meanwhile, the environment is comfortable and cool the whole time. I honestly do not have any things to say where I think they need improvement at this time. So, if you are looking for an excellent stylist / parlor that you would think you could only find in a big city, check out Thompson and Co, and I don't think you'll be disappointed!

A hidden gem in Iowa City!!! I have been to the Jenny's Hair Salon several times (based on a…read morerecommendation, after going to several hair salons in the area), and became a regular customer. It's an enjoyable experience every time - knowing you're in the right hands, and that my hair will look exactly how I wanted (and I have high standards). Despite having a difficult hair (wavy, thick, coarse, dark brunette) she made it possible for me to go blonde (light blonde highlights) a healthy way, all through a stress-free process. The life of my highlights is extended. Besides being a true hair artist, Jenny is also very professional, and a wonderful person! And, for the results she creates, the prices are beyond affordable. I learned that Jenny goes to seminars throughout the world beauty centers (like Italy, Spain, Brazil, LA, etc.) which help her create great looks and stay current with trends. For an example, first time, she applied a highlighting technique from a seminar in Italy, and created light blonde highlights with no damage, no brassiness, and in one appointment (exact results were light brown hair with ash blonde highlights). At the last appointment, Jenny gave a layered haircut using a special technique she personally learned from a "Big Sexy Hair" product line owner. In addition, another time, she went out of her way and extended an appointment extra time in order to thoroughly color my hair (with blonde, foil, baby-highlights - which was a masterpiece). Jenny also taught me about factors that affect hair health such as pH balance, wintertime hair regimen, as well as various daily looks, and so on. You can ask her questions, and she answers without hesitation! Jenny uses the product line "Joico" which prove to be good quality, and GHD tools for styling. The hair salon and spa at her house is very relaxing and pleasant. This is a lengthy review, but hopefully it gives an idea about Jenny's Hair Salon services. Based on my experiences, Jenny truly cares about her haircare profession, and she is very focused on making her customers satisfied, and their hair beautiful. Than you, Jenny!!!

I will say I wasn't expecting a residential area when I mapped to her location, however was more than surprised how she had her home set up to accommodate her clients! I was pleasantly welcomed into her home and could tell right away that THIS was going to be wonderful! Jenny spent time telling me about the products she was using and did use during my service, I felt relaxed, comfortable and very glad that I decided to make this appointment. I had talked to Jenny about my previous hair situation (I had extensions and had no business having them), and she helped me understand what damage was done to my hair, the positives in the condition of my hair and how to get it where I wanted it to be again. She talked about all her trainings and her equipment that she uses for not only hair but facials, etc and I could tell that she genuinely loves alll things salon and spa! I left feeling beautiful, with nowhere to go! I will be booking more services and can't wait to see my hair in a year with Jenny helping me I KNOW it will be beautiful! Thank you for all you do, Jenny!

They both take time and do not rush through their work. The quality of the stylists is outstanding and the atmosphere is very positive and lively with good music. This is important if you require a 3 hour appointment as I do. Tim and Allie are both very receptive to ideas and positively encouraging change. When my daughter wanted a pixie cut and 2 stylists at our previous salon wouldn't do it and tried to talk her out of it, we decided to try Buzz. Tim was so excited to work through this style change with her and it made her very confident about this choice. The prices are a bit higher than some other local salons, but I will not go anywhere else. You get what you pay for - both in the services and the beautiful, wonderful experience.

It'd been a loooong time since my last haircut. In my extensive search to find the best place to…read moreget my locks trimmed in Iowa City, I stumbled upon Nova Salon. I didn't have a specific stylist in mind, so I was matched up with Irina. I believe I called on a Wednesday and was able to get an appointment for a few days later. I was Irina's last appointment on a Saturday afternoon, but you never would have known. She was very friendly, listened to what I had to say, and gave lots of great advice. I left with the exact haircut I asked for. Have I been able to style it the way Irina did? Heck no. That requires talent I simply don't have. Irina taught me a lot about my hair - what to do with the random grays that make an appearance, the type of hair I have, etc. Seriously, what she taught me was totally worth the price paid; aside from the actual haircut itself. The salon is super clean and inviting. Lots of natural light, especially at Irina's station because of where she's located. They do sell hair products including Amika (which I personally like). I had no idea how much it was going to cost (around $75 with tip) for a women's cut, as prices aren't posted online. I suppose I could have asked when I scheduled my appointment, but it didn't really matter to me. I'm someone who gets her haircut 1x per year. Recommend. I'll definitely make a return visit.
