As a curly hair gal, I have a hard time trusting someone with cutting or coloring my hair. When I…read moremoved here in 2020, I thankfully found Lauren after having gone to only one other stylist before her. From that first appointment, I was confident in Lauren's skills to cut my hair. It's been over two years now and I still routinely see her every 12 weeks like clockwork. Not only is Lauren great at what she does, but she continues to strive and grow in her skills. Not to mention she is a great person to be around and will match your energy during your appointment if you want to talk or sit and relax in silence. I highly recommend visiting Lauren for any hair care needs!

Lauren has been the only person to touch my hair for the past seven (!!) years! Lauren is always…read moreattentive and thoughtful when I describe what I want to do with my hair, but honestly at this point I just tell her a vibe I'm going for and she brings it to life perfectly every time. Lauren has given me the most beautiful shades of red, blonde, and everything in between over the years. I have recently moved out of town but continue to travel to see her because of the quality service she provides!

Believe me, they think their time is way more valuable than yours. And not just because they do this to you but also because they cancel all the time but when you do? Oh no, they expect you to pay. How about a credit for me when my stylist cancels then? Seems fair to me.

Visited during their Christmas Event and O+J Salon definitely know how to throw a PARTY!…read moreVery impressed with the hospitality and the welcoming environment. Cute salon and a nice sized facility. Very open and with big windows. Very modern and stylish style. The salon was a packed house with all their new and regular clients. Came with a friend and was introduced to her stylist Jessica. She was very knowledgeable with hair and very open about her services and availability. Their Christmas party had food, drinks, and hair product samples. Raffle prizes with product purchases. Oliver + James were generous with this party, now we know why they throw great parties. It was a nice time meeting all the stylists and the owner. Link and Lou permanent jewelry were also at the party as a pop up event for them. It was so great to see another business supporting another business. Awesome marketing to get their business out there and to reach the Des Moines community. Definitely looking to go back as a hair client soon and buying their products! Those samples SOLD me.

Update: the absolute nightmare of trying to work with the owner of this salon got worse. During our…read moreoriginal call, she was resistant to giving me a refund because "they don't allow refunds" (that is disclosed nowhere on their website or in their salon, nor was it told to me before or during my service) but finally said she would be willing to give me one. I never received a refund and it seems I never will. I decided to contact the salon again and say I never received a refund and they told me they couldn't send a refund through card because it was already processed. I sent proof of bank statements showing that there was never a refund and suddenly they were willing to write a check on accord of the "honor system" despite me providing proof I never got my money back. They then requested I delete my photos and review before picking up my check because it was an "unfair" review. I never agreed to deleting anything and decided to try to pick up my check anyway. When I get there, the owner says to come back another day because she's demanding it's deleted. I tell her I'll delete it in the salon because I'm not driving 35 minutes one way to come back, so I delete it in person. The owner then made me wait over 40 minutes before eventually kicking me out of the salon and saying that she won't give me a refund after all, proving it was a deceitful attempt to get me to delete an honest review. Not only did she chastise me during my initial request for a refund, then in person when denying me my promised refund, she only got more rude and insulting. She was upset at me for having an issue with my experience saying how the stylist I saw was highly rated and reviewed and she messed up in no way. Then in person she said how the stylist was fired not even two months later. Fishy that I was berated for having an issue for such a good stylist who then had grounds for termination just weeks after. My bank also confirmed they never attempted to refund my card in the first place and the salon has since blocked me on platforms confirming their unprofessionalism and inability to work with the customers who were done wrong at their business.
