First of all, my hair was a mess. Half of it was shorter than the other half and there were chunks just missing from the bottom. I had been chopping it myself for years, part of it was still damaged from bleaching it six years ago and honestly I had given up on ever liking my hair again. But then I went to Joanna. She stayed late just to work around my schedule and what she did for me was so much more than just a haircut. It meant everything to me. I wish I had the words to express that better but it just meant everything. And my hair came out beautiful!!! With how messed up it was I did not expect it to turn out the way it did. Johanna is an absolute artist when it comes to hair, everything she does turns out beautiful. She is fun and easy to talk to and so so likable. Now that I'm actually going to a professional for my hair, I will never go anywhere else. read more

Cheyenne was fantastic! Very kind, helpful, and genuine person. I was embarrassed due to a series of bad haircuts, but Cheyenne was very nice about it, and fixed my hair. I asked for sensory accommodations, and Cheyenne went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable. I asked for no hair wash or blow dry, and Cheyenne was very understanding and did as I requested. Highly recommend! read more

I'm not from Boise but have been here unexpectedly for a while and way overdue for a cut and color. I reached out to Johanna to see if she might be able to squeeze me in, and luck was with me that she had a cancellation and she fit me in. She was not only a wonderful person who I enjoyed meeting, but she did a fantastic job with my hair. Nailed the color perfectly and I love the cut and the style. She also has the most calming, relaxing touch and I could have fallen asleep in her chair! I told her she should film ASMR videos on the side - haha. I stopped by the grocery store right after my appointment and the first woman I saw complemented my hair and color and asked me who did it! Of course I shared Johanna's number with her. I told Johanna the next time I'm in town even if I don't need a cut or color I will be back even if it's just for a wash and style and the hospitality. highly recommend Johanna! read more

I just moved from Washington and had to leave my hairdresser of 20 years. Trying to find all the necessary specialists has been scary to say the least, but finding a new hair stylist was on the top of my list. Johanna was the first stylist I called and she got me in within a couple of days and now I have a new hair stylist for next 20 years. She listened to exactly what I wanted and I left with an outstanding hair cut and a new stylist for all my hair needs. Fantastic job Johanna! Thank you Christine P read more

Cheyenne is awesome! My 18-yr-old daughter wanted to get her first real hair cut and style with highlights so I jumped on Yelp and found Thairapy. Johanna replied right away on a Saturday and was able to schedule an appointment with Cheyenne the following Tuesday. My daughter had an idea what she wanted but wasn't completely sure - so she brought in some pictures of hair styles she liked. Cheyenne was awesome working with her to find just the right style. My daughter absolutely LOVES her new hair style. Note to other dads: Taking your daughter to get a haircut and highlights is not a 1/2 hour thing. It takes quite a while.... like 3 hours. So being a snack. :-) read more

Johanna is the BEST!! I described to her the problems I was having with my hair and she found a solution that i love for each issue. She is so talented and so nice. My hair came out great and I am thrilled to not have to keep looking for someone who can work with my hair. read more

From out of town, my hair really needed to be done it was bad. To the point I didn't where it down anymore it was 2 different things and dead. They were able to squeeze me in last minute after calling early this morning today. I went and Cheyenne did freaking amazing. She sat down and talked to me why my hair was so damage which other people have never told me before. Gave mr advice and we got a solution. I was Nervous because I didn't want to have super short hair. Burning it came out freaking great and she was so nice and easy to talk too and so professional. Asking me question and when I didn't know it was always explaining it to me. Definitely recommend, if I'm back in town I would go to her again shoot I would come to town just to get my hair done from her again! Thank you so much! read more

Great quality and service at a fair price. Love my color. Easy to connect directly for a quick response. Thank you Johanna!

My wife is very particular about her hair. We moved here from Baker city, Or. She had a friend who did her hair. We've been in Boise for 18 years and this is the first time I've heard her say, "I love my perm." Johanna has done the impossible. Husband of Nancy Smith read more

I met Cheyenne as I was looking for a new to this area Hairdresser.. Oh My GOSH!!!! Did I EVER Luck out!!!! I am now a client for life (or as long as she puts up with me) She did something No one has ever done to my frizzy hair.. she Textured it... WHAT A World of difference. Cheyenne was able to recognize what to do with this unruly set of locks almost immediately!!' And that... Is not an easy task. My new highlights are gorgeous and subtle.. the color is perfect.. BYE bye Grey!!!! Her shop is the cutest eclectic little space!! A breath of fresh air. read more

Started seeing Johanna because I found really great reviews of her. My mom and I started seeing her and from the first call I sort of felt like I was working for her. She asked me questions to see whether she would take me. I decided to give her a try because if she was super good I can go with that. After meeting her she did fine. She was sweet to my mom which was very nice. She said if someone left she she wouldn't take them back which is her choice but it felt very off putting. It didn't seem like we clicked like we could. She txted on her phone while she was cutting my hair. Literally, stopped working on my hair to txt on her phone. With everything else this was disappointing. I txted her needing to cancel my mom and my upcoming appt and she didn't respond at all. She canceled it in her program but no response to my txt. The two times I saw her she burnt my head both times with the curling iron when styling. The buzzers left a nasty red mark on the lower part of my moms neck. She didn't ask how I wanted my hair styled. I told her I was vegan and she automatically decided that my thin fine hair was due to that and not eating enough protein when actually I have PCOS which I told her. She just could have been better as far as how she comes across. 3 stars because she can cut hair but didn't wow me. Her communication was poor, she come off a little unprofessional with attitude and her confidence is a little arrogant. When she didn't respond to my txt that was the last straw. read more

This review is long overdue but Johanna is fabulous! I went in with blonde "highlights" and a picture of what I wanted it to look like and I got EXACTLY what I asked for! It's the first time I have ever when to a salon and and left with exactly what I wanted. I was almost shock because I didnt think it was possible! Thank you Johanna! read more

Joanna is amazing. Not only she was able to stay late for me on Saturday to accommodate my commuting schedule, she also listened to my concerns and worries, suggested healthy solution for my hair and created a style I wanted. I brought photos of a style and color I want and Joanna creates exactly that. When I came home my mother was blown away and asked for Joanna's number to book her next hair cut with her. The Sheryl Shabby Salon in Meridian design in a retro style very unique and cute, welcoming and clean. It's very conveniently located, have plenty of parking and offers Variety of services included Barber and Waxing. I am excited about my next appointment with Joanna ( Brazilian Blow out) and will recommend Joanna to anyone who loves there hair, Joanna will take a good care if it and with 25 years of experience she will get it right. read more

New to the area, I searched and found Johanna under wigs. I was looking to buy a topper. Through a text she told me she could help me and I made an appointment to see her. I believed I was going in a store to purchase a topper. There was never any communication or discussion about a consultation or a consultation fee. To make a long story short I purchased a $550 real hair wig from her. After three weeks I received a text saying that it is on back order. The fact that she deals with this all the time I thought she could give me an idea of when it might come in and I asked her that. She couldn't give me an idea and said she would have to talk to her rep. I told her that I wasn't happy. I had given her $550, nothing was given to me, a receipt or anything in writing, and she doesn't have an idea when the wig would be there. My next text from her was a raging, angry person and a refund for my wig, short $55 that she charged for a "refund of a hairpiece". I was never told she would keep money in the case of a refund. There is a long list of fees that she charges at the end of her page that new customers will want to check out before you do business with her. It appears she does a good job but she is very expensive. At the end of her text she told me her mother had passed recently and her husband recently had become ill. I feel very sorry for her that she's going through that, I did not know that. I wish her and her family well. I still feel the refund charge ($55) and her attitude were unnecessary. read more

Johanna saved me from wearing a bowl looking cut and transformed me into wearing a cute blended perky cut. She is extremely skilled at knowing how to get you from point A to B and she does it with a great smile. Very personable and I feel very fortunate to become one of her regulars! read more

My wife was reluctant to go in and have her hair done as it's not something she's done often. Johanna was excellent. She made my wife comfortable, was fun to talk with, and it was just a genuinely pleasant experience. Johanna did a great job in brightening the red and adding some highlights. Wife loves it and enjoys all the compliments she's been receiving. read more

Cheyenne did a great job with my Brazilian blowout! It was clear that she had a large knowledge base, and she was very pleasant to talk to! I enjoyed my appointment and I'm so happy with the results! read more

Johanna is a Godsend! She took my hair that was approximately 5 million different colors and 4 different lengths (growing out a long bob wasn't my best look) and took it to sleek, one length and a beautiful dark cherry balayage! Johanna was timely, personable and professional. You can tell she knows her stuff! During our consultation she told me exactly what to expect and that is definitely something I appreciated. I'm in love with my new look! Thank you again Johanna! I'll add some before and after pictures: read more

I've been going to Johanna for close to a year now & love her. She is so personable and is so great at what she does! I wanted my sides longer and stacked cut in back. Also went back to bangs since I haven't had in years. I love it! Johanna also does my color and highlights which I love too! read more

I am so happy I found Johanna! She has such wonderful reviews and I can see why. She did exactly what asked for: full head of highlights, wet haircut, and she took off only enough for a trim since I wanted to keep my hair length. She is very experienced and knows what she is doing. It's refreshing having a hairdresser who knows precisely what you mean when you ask for a certain hair style. Her prices are also very reasonable! I'll definitely be back! read more

I was fortunate to have Cheyenne work on my hair. When I first got there i was welcomed by Cheyenne and taken directly to her station. For having very short hair I have a very particular hair style I was hoping to find someone local, I'm sure when she first saw my hair she thought my hair was going to be easy. Cheyenne made sure my hair was perfectly how I wanted while working on something she wasn't familiar with. Cheyenne did a great job and was great to work with. I would recommend her to anything looking for a new stylist. Thanks Chey! read more

Very happy with the way Johanna handled my fine, thin hair. She recommended a product which I can't wait to try to hopefully make my thin spots thicker. At almost 72, I'm willing to try. She got rid of the brassy color which was from previous salon. Before that and for 40 years I had grey hair and although a pretty gray I wanted a change. Never too late ladies. Can't wait to return. Thank you Johanna read more

I don't easily give out 5 star reviews.., but this one was earned! Johanna is so talented she made my terrible hair look better than it ever has. I've found my permanent stylist! read more

I had just moved here from CA and was in need of finding a new hair stylist. I did some research and found Johanna! What a Gem! She has now done my hair 3 times and I am always happy when I leave. She is just a wonderful, thoughtful person. She is very good at what she does and really listens to you. I highly recommend her! read more

I knew I'd been in town a day before I reached out to Johanna to see if by chance she would have an opening in the evening. Not only did she get back to me within 10 minutes she was available after work. I was excited that I could get my hair cut while on business...yes I was taking a chance with someone random but every review was amazing and since I'm losing my hair post pregnancy figured it was worth it. When I got there she was really nice and then did her magic. She took her time and made sure my hair was perfect! I absolutely love the cut. She is reasonably priced for the great work she does! I will definitely be coming back on work trips just to get my hair done! read more

Hallelujah!!!! I was in town for work and like most cities I visit in US, I get a blow out the morning after I arrive to whatever city. I usually get NO APPTS, we don't do only blow dry, or the worst one..... they attempt to dry my hair with a baby brush which even though I tell stylist it takes about 1 1/2 hrs just to dry!! I have Long super Thick and Lots of hair so.... I found this treasure Johanna on Yelp with only great reviews. It was late at night so I figured I was out of luck but No. I messaged her and she messaged back in 10 minutes got me in next day at 9am (I don't think salon opens that early) but not only did she get me in early I had a wonderful blowout with a big huge brush and most importantly Johnna is a Doll. I will definitely be going back next time in town!!! Thanks Johnna for a very excellent experience read more

Love the friendly service. Cheynne made my daughter and me very welcome. Great experience. Our haircuts are just what each asked for. I am enjoying my new style. Highly recommend Thairapy and Cheynne. read more

I'm new to the area and read great reviews on this place. I'm very happy! Nice place, great haircut and real nice people! read more

Johanna is an amazing stylist. Her vast experience in color and technique are obvious- many other stylists will approach her for advice and guidance. She listens to her clients, offers suggestions, and interprets our requests, with beautiful results. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! read more

Finally, after much research in which my hair cut took a major beating, I have finally found someone who knows how to cut a short, textured style with finesse. Johanna, who looks like Christina Hendricks twin from Mad Men series, was able to take a ragged hair cut from a previous hairdresser (should probably have checked the credentials on this one) and cut and style a snazzy, current cut. The true test of a good haircut - you don't go home and shampoo and restyle. Not happening here! I was able to go out into public with my perfectly coiffed hairstyle and hold my head up with pride! All kidding aside, Johanna is really good. I would recommend her without any reservations. read more

Tried other people but she was perfect and precise as well as no bull Didn't even attempt to upsell me on products. Color lasted a long time. read more

I just had my hair done by Johanna and wow!! She is legit good!! I moved here a few months ago and hadn't had my hair done in about 3mos. In my eyes, it was in desperate need of a highlight and cut. Johanna is truly an expert. She did highlights and lowlights in my hair and they are spot on perfect for me. My hair was a bit damaged coming in so she put a pack on it before she cut it to make it softer. Love my haircut and highlights - thank you so much Johanna! I will definitely be back read more

I just got my hair done tonight by Johanna for the first time and before she did my hair, she texted me everytime I had a question and would respond quickly. She was extremely kind and professional. When she did my hair tonight, I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she got it exactly like I wanted it. Ive colored my hair several times and I must say she is the best stylist I've ever met and I'm not just saying that. She had reasonable prices as well. I came home and my husband was so excited lol he said this was the best color I've had as well. I just moved from Atlanta two months ago and was anxious I wouldn't find anyone good in Idaho, I'm so happy to say I've found my stylist and she will be the only person I let do my hair. She also squeezed me in since I got off at 5pm and was having family pictures taken this Saturday. I am overly pleased with the outcome. I will definitely be letting other people know to go to her. ( I'm not sure how to post a picture but I'm sure she will when she gets a chance. I didn't realize how horrible my hair looked!! Now it's very healthy after changing the color, having it trimmed and styled and the best part of it all was getting my hair washed. She has magical nails/hands. Thank you again Johanna read more

Johanna is so great about responding to messages and was able to get me in much quicker than I thought would happen when my regular hairdresser moved away unexpectedly. Cheyenne listened to everything I said about my hair and answered all of my questions. My hair looks so good! Thank you read more

I've only been in Idaho a month and desperately needed a root touch up and a cut. Johanna has a great personality and she's an awesome stylist. She matched my hair color and my cut was much needed and she nailed it; even though my description of what I wanted wasn't the best. She's definitely my new stylist!! I already have my next appointment booked. Thanks Johanna! read more

What a great experience- Johanna was efficient, cut my hair as I wished & offered to do coloring ( when I was bemoaning my gray roots) even though I hadn't booked for color AND graciously agreed to trim husbands hair as well. We were traveling homeward to Washington state where our community is STILL in Phase One - thus no salons open at all; so grateful she fit us in at the end of her day and ensured I got a good cut, color and styling- thank you Johanna!! read more

I requested a consultation with Johanna after receiving a trim by someone in another state. The trim went terribly wrong and I sought out advice from Johanna after reading her reviews. I sent her some photos of what my hair looked like before the trim and what it looked like after. She responded in a timely manner and got me in for a consultation quickly. She was on time and ready for the appointment. She spent time with me, looked at my hair, showed me some of the issues that would need to be addressed for correction, and explained a few different options that would work to better my current hair situation. She then showed me how I could style the current cut to better hide what was done. Even after only 15 minutes in her chair I felt more confident about my situation. Thank you to Johanna for helping out a complete strange in serious hair care need. There are good people in the world! read more

Love love love my blowout. I have extremely natural curly hair which not all women understand how to blow it out and put curls in it using a straightener. She knew exactly how to get it right using the right amount of products and my hair lasted over 5 days!! Next time in Meridian, I will definitely be back. Thank you Johanna!!! :) read more

In short, Amazing! This was my first appointment with Johanna. I went in with an old, tired perm and left with beautiful, soft curls. Not sure it's possible but my hair felt healthier after she permed my hair. Johanna is a very talented stylist! The salon is very beautiful, I especially like the privacy the individual suite offers. I highly recommend Johanna! read more

Wow, after being here almost 1 year I finally found a great stylist/colorist. Johanna was able to fix my brassy hair (which was from another local salon). I told her I would like something low maintenance and she recommended highlights and lowlights to help blend so the gray is less noticeable. It looks awesome! I also have to commend Johanna for fitting me in her busy schedule before I was leaving for an out of town trip. Thank you so much Johanna, I appreciate all of your efforts. I will be back! read more
