She's helped me grow my hair even longer which was my personal goal. She's warm and friendly, always smiling and working hard.

I am very disappointed in this salon and their communication skills.

I am a single mom and it took me moving heaven and earth to get a babysitter, leave work early, make this appointment happen. When I booked it, I asked several questions about whether or not it was possible with my blonde hair and they called me four times after that to ask about my current condition of my hair to see if the perm I requested was possible. I spoke with everyone and told them exactly the same thing that I had color treated and blonde hair. I let them know. It had been more than eight weeks since my last appointment and on top of that, I do attend one of their salons, so they're able to look in their system to see exactly what I had done. I confirm this one last time with them and when I showed up to my appointment, they told me they were unable to complete the process because it would damage my hair. After booking a babysitter driving there and taking off work I was so disappointed. They did try and offer me a haircut in return, but that was not what I remotely wanted. I would suggest going to art of life Urbandale over Waukee if you want to actually have your service completed or someone tell you if it's not possible prior to rearranging your life to make it there.

I won't name who it was that did my service, she was a very nice person, just not a person you'd want doing your Brazilian. I felt like communication was something I had to reiterate and at one point I looked down and saw the side that was "finished" flared up and bruised along with fine hairs that remained despite the trauma. That is actually the word I would use to describe my experience, traumatizing.

Then I went to another spot in the salon for the was and it wasn't a bed but another chair with wheels. Well when she went to move the chair I ended up flipping the chair and I was on the floor. The salon is beautiful and it has over 20 pedicure chair and a bunch of mani stations too. They also have an excessive amount of polishes to pick from. It was overall a memorable experience that I don't plan to repeat anytime soon.

She's exceptional at what she does and genuinely one of the kindest people you'll meet. My haircut is fairly simple, but I've seen firsthand the work she does with women's hair through several close friends who go to her, and she is incredibly talented -- precise, consistent, and thoughtful in her approach. You can tell she truly cares about her clients and takes real pride in her craft. She's also great at consulting with me on the right products, personalized specifically for my hair and skin. Their brand new location in the Atlas Building in West Des Moines is stunning. The space is beautifully designed -- elegant, refined, and thoughtfully done while still feeling welcoming and comfortable. It's conveniently located, easy to access, and truly elevates the entire experience. The team is always professional and welcoming, and the level of service is consistently top tier. I also appreciate that they've expanded their services beyond what was offered at the West Glen location -- it really feels like a full-service destination now. Another big plus is their use of Aveda products. They're excellent for sensitive skin, made with naturally derived ingredients, and the brand is known for environmentally responsible practices and more sustainable packaging. I personally purchase both Aveda hair and skincare products from Serenity, and they always have a great selection in stock. Serenity continues to set a high standard for quality, service, and overall experience. Highly recommend.
