After moving to the Springfield area, my family tried many salons, only to be disappointed. I did…read morenot expect to find this incredible salon. My daughter walked in with a bad haircut and dye job done at a different salon, that she was trying to grow out. She was hesitant and worried about getting it done. The stylist took the time to really talk to her about her hair goals, and what she wanted it to look like. She was honest with what she could do to fix it, and suggested what would make it look better. Her hair looks absolutely stunning. She has incredible highlights, with rich red undertones. The haircut is modern and looks like something out of a magazine. And I was super surprised at the very reasonable cost! My family has found their new salon home in the Springfield area. I felt like the stylist cared about how her hair was going to look and not just about getting the next client in the chair.

I was supposed to get a balayage and look at the picture Not a balayage at all. It's like the stylist only put color at the ends and my hair looked fried! The color did not even cover my strands of grey at all. The owner didn't seem to have time to fix my hair so I ended up requesting a refund, which she did give me but wasn't happy about it like it was my fault the hairstylist did such a terrible job. Definitely not ever going back.

I haven't changed my hairstyle at all in the past few years (thinking about changing it up soon). It took me four stylists (at multiple salons) before I found Summer and have stuck with her ever since. She understands short hair, wavy texture, and is willing to listen and work with you to find a style that you like and works with you. I know that once I'm ready to change my hair, Summer will help me with advice on what cut and style will suit me, my hair texture, and lifestyle. All the other staff at Karma Salon are nice and friendly. Their hours are good and I think their prices are good, too. I highly recommend Karma Salon!

Don't give this dungeon place your money, the OWNERS & Erika have poor business practices & no…read moreintegrity & no compassion and no care in the world about customers. I am a platinum bright blonde for 7 years now, and went in to get my roots touched up & toner while I was in town bc I live in LA & my home burned down in the fires so I was staying with family. I asked the male receptionist for a platinum blonde specialist consultation & even asked Erika when she came out to greet me if she was a platinum blonde specialist. She said yes, she's been doing hair for 20 years....WHERE WALMART?! She was confident she could do my hair. I came back the next day for the appt & I said get rid of my brown roots & for the toner I want it bright & light but on the warmer side bc I absolutely don't want grey hair (any blonde stylist knows you have to have a little WARMTH to keep brightness w/o it turning grey and ashy.) She said she understood many times. When I came into this salon my hair was BEAUTIFUL light & bright and she made it BROWN/RED/GOLD. Erika needs more corrective glasses bc clearly she can't see properly &needs to be a scam artist NOT a "platinum blonde specialist" at walmart. Erika barely lifted my roots and they're yellow & banding & brassy spots all over. Sloppy bleach application. She said she was going to fix it with a toner, when I came back from the bowl I had a toner on that was brown/red/pink NOT a bright color I told her to rinse it out it's too dark and at this point my hair is a highlighter yellow mixed with green & brown from this toner. I said you need to take this toner off it's way too dark & she REFUSED to take it off saying to give it longer. She didn't even ask me anywhere along the way how I was liking my hair. She had put 2 different toners on my head, totally different colors, at this point &have left the toners on longer than the bleach and my head was freezing cold at that point from being soaking wet for 2 hours. She wasn't even going to get the pink out of my hair unless I said something to her and she says "OH is it pink?!" Erika needs to get her eyes checked PERIOD. I was sitting there CRYING in her chair as shes TRYING to blow dry my hair and I told her to just rough dry my hair bc it's quicker bc I'm tired of being cold and I'm so upset at this point and wanna get tf outta there. She never even asked me how I liked the color or anything just SILENCE from her like she knew she purposely messed up my hair. What kind of stylist makes a platinum blonde DARKER than what she came in with?! She made my hair BROWN and GOLD tones on a platinum root touch up like WHAT?! I also got a haircut from her while it was still wet she cut one layer then I told her hey uh my hair is pink....and she immediately turned around to do toners and didn't even speak to me and completely disregarded the haircut after that so I only have one layer of my hair cut and didn't finish it. Erika has no care in the world about me or my hair. I called the owners about the situation and told them I absolutely did not want to go back to her to fix it. The 3 owners collectively agreed that I HAD to go back to Erika if I wanted it fixed and didn't offer any other solution than that. Poor business practices they literally didn't even offer to fix my hair (and should have at their expense) and that she's been doing hair for 30 years at Walmart...Erika told me 20. So the owners don't even know their stylists and who they're hiring. I was recommended this place bc my mom goes to this salon and my sister has been recommend it too but NOT ANYMORE. The owners have now lost 3 customers bc of this. The whole vibe of this place is off it's very dungeon dark vibes and they play awful music it's not even uplifting. Also, Erika asked me if I wanted water when I first sat down in her chair or something to drink and I said oh coffee would be nice and she seriously told me to go get it myself like didn't even offer to go get it or show me where it was across the salon. She had no shame in herself for her service or how she ruined my hair!

Pip's Beardcraft & Barber is a gem in Springfield. I had a fantastic experience from the moment I…read morewalked in, the vibe was on point: laid-back, welcoming, and just a genuinely cool place to be. Chuck and Pip are true artists, focused, precise, and they care about every detail. You can tell there's real respect and flow between them. One thing that really stood out to me was their teamwork, at one point, Chuck even swept up Pip's station while finishing up, which says a lot about the kind of shop this is. No ego, just professionals who care about their craft and their space. The beard trim itself was excellent, clean, sharp, and exactly what I was looking for. You leave feeling like you've had a premium experience. If you're looking for a place that combines skill, great atmosphere, and good people, this is it. Highly recommend, I'll definitely be back.

This was several months ago and my color is still holding up well with the use of the purple shampoo that was recommended to me by the owner. I do not have any hard lines or unevenness, so my growing out roots don't look bad at all, very low maintenance! She got my hair more blonde than it's been in years, with no damage or drying. The cut she gave me was a "Dusting" which took off no length but helped the ends out a lot. Honestly I can't say one bad thing about my experience here. 10/10 would recommend to anyone!! I will definitely be back in the fall for a touch up!

They don't seem to promote professionalism. There were two people sitting at the reception desk, one was on the phone (the instructor) the other, possibly a student just sat there looking for at least a minute before finally greeting me and checking me in. I had an appointment so my wait up front was brief fortunately. I'm thinking the student who did my hair earned plenty of class credits as I am the first ever textured hair client in her chair for wash, blow dry and flat iron. The very first. We were both nervous. From my one experience here the students aren't taught much about professionalism with their clients. She was pleasant as could be but never once asked about the products I use on my hair, how I typically style it or anything. I was pleased that the instructor stayed very available to her for my service. They used Redken One United products on my hair. As I'm accustomed to Design Essentials line of products so this was new for me. The cons: 1)My stylists was equipped with only one size flat iron. 2) The client chairs are strangely close, me and the client in the next chair almost knocked knees several times. Not kidding. 3) Dead quiet, like being in a library, no music going and very little conversation. 4) Noticeable lack of professionalism.
