Let me start with location. This place is located in a small room inside the bowels of a fitness…read morecenter, not far from the men's locker room. On the website a men's haircut is listed at $28. That seemed reasonable assuming they had talented and capable stylists. In fact, Grand River Barber Co, a local competitor, has several incredibly talented barbers that charge $28 because of demand. I got a basic men's cut, expecting to be charged $28, and they charged me $49. That's a 75% increase! After getting taken advantage of, I emailed the owner, only to be insulted and told I should have expected to pay that much. This place takes advantage of their customers.

My Honest Opinion Initially I gave heat salon 3/5 stars. It…read moreis a small salon, previously a blow dry bar, attached to my health club, very convenient for me. However, the owner told me that if I did not give a better rating that she would not do my hair. So I raised the rating, but I ALWAYS felt guilty for lying to soothe her ego and for my ease. Is Heat a 5/5 salon like David Mallett of New York? Absolutely not. As far as the local Lansing area goes? I would say Douglas J would get my best vote. Heat Salon is convenient for members at The M.A.C., not up-to-date on its website and pretty good. I would give it a 3/5, but being coerced by a hairdresser is so weird, I've got to drop it down a half a point 2.5/5

I got a haircut from someone that really was prepared to do a different cut for me without being pushy. She showed me photos, and also explained that since my hair is thinner, it won't be exactly like the pictures. I was so thrilled to see the process and of course the final look. Definitely a new customer!

Over three inches were taken off and the stylist didn't blend anything, giving me extremely choppy uneven hair. The receptionist said they would refund me, but after three days they decided they were not going to do that, whilst insinuating I was not telling the truth about the haircut. I offered to send them pictures, they declined. 65$ haircut not including tip, and now I will have to pay even more money somewhere else to fix it. Mind you they did offer to let the same stylist try to fix my hair, but after being originally told I would get a refund, and then told they never said such a thing, I decided not to trust them with any more of my time and

She makes recommendations based on what I want and what I need for my day to day. As a nurse my hair is tied up most days and I was seeing so much drama he from that. We worked out an easy plan for hair care that has helped that tons. As far as my color goes, it's amazing! She does everything she can to make sure there no dress or damage to my hair. I get complements daily on my color. My last appointment was before Christmas and I'm still being asked if I recently got my color touched up. Her appointments are very personal and focused on you. The conversations is great and so fun, you're going in to visit a friend every time! Not just a salon that tries to get you in and out while they are working on other people as well. She makes sure to ask about things you've spoken about before. She remembers even the small details, I couldn't be happier!

I followed her even when she switched salons and I would highly recommend her for haircuts and great balayages. I have gotten so used to trusting her that I can just give her vague instructions and she always does an amazing cut. When I had my balayage done about a year ago she stunned me with how natural it was. Honestly it could grow out for months and you'd never see lines. I have to leave Lansing/East Lansing but I'm sad to go. I literally used to drive hours to get my hair done for stylists who couldn't compare to April.
