The massage was great. What was NOT GREAT was being overcharged for a 1 hour couples massage. Listed online at $195, we were charged $240. When trying to get this made right, our calls are not being returned and the customer service is quite frankly non existent. I would recommend going elsewhere and saving yourself a headache. read more

With plenty of Salons it can be a daunting task to find a New Salon, I was so nervous just moving to the area and coming from a place I loved. Let me say that the Rustic Salon delivered! Talented women who are also kind very hard to come by & pleasantly there's both here! I have gotten beautiful work done by Kyra as a lash artist I know great work and she is incredible with design and isolation the most important when getting lash extensions. I also have been going to Lisa she's a really well rounded stylist who can nail the color you're wanting spot on and definitely pays attention to detail and the integrity of your hair. And shout out to Kelly she has figured out last minute scheduling for me and is so kind! Stand out Salon not sure why there's some harsh reviews I have traveled the world and this group of women are very gifted go pamper yourself and lmk what you think! read more

I wanted to love this place and return to it. The decor is amazing and my stylist, K. was lovely and did a great job on my hair. But...here's the lowdown. I waited nearly 15 minutes because the receptionist (maybe the owner) didn't tell her I was there. Granted I was a last minute walk in and made an appointment while K was out. The worst part, and I swear often, the place was filled with putrid language that was so offensive, it bothered me. ME! One gal used the "f" word in every breath and sentence. The lack of maturity in the ladies that work there will prevent my ever returning. read more

I purchased a gift card for my wife's birthday from The Rustic Salon and she wasn't able to use it right away due to unexpected life circumstances and when she was able to go in later, she was refused service saying they're not honoring older gift cards due to a change in management/ownership despite it still being "The Rustic Salon" and the gift card being for "The Rustic Salon"! Despite the state of Montana laws say gift cards DO NOT EXPIRE! read more

Received a $185 gift card for our wedding for a couples massage. Attempted to book and was informed that the new owner is not honoring gift cards that were purchased prior to her purchasing the business. Got a call back asking what color my gift card was because they were honoring some cards but unfortunately not the white one I have that says The Rustic with their phone number on it. Said she could give me an e-mail and a phone number and that I "might" get a refund AND then tried to get me to schedule a massage at 20% off. Classy. read more

Missy blew my expectations out of the water giving me a gorgeous soft subtle balayage with a long bob haircut. I keep my hair very low maintenance, and find it hard to find stylists who you can put total confidence in. Missy hands down is the best stylist I've found in years. She listens and expertly executes what you're looking to have done. Do yourself a favor and book an appointment with Missy, you will not be let down. Thank you for making this new mamma feel like a million bucks. read more

See all

New ownership that is not honoring gift cards. I was given someone's hotmail address to receive payment for a gift card. Obviously, a gift card is just that, a gift, so getting money back is not an option. Not to mention the new staff is completely unapologetic and very rude. Like the past ownership, save your money and time and don't bother with this place. Third owner in 4 years is a red flag. read more

I am new to Billings and experienced a few pedicures at other places, where the experience was poor to just ok. Pedicures it seems are either very well done or short cuts are taken if the nail technician chooses to do so. Price doesn't always reflect quality. However, LISA here at the RUSTIC is fantastic. Fast, (but not too fast) very thorough with much attention to detail. Very confident in her abilities and rightly so. I experienced an Awesome, professional massage that was so relaxing. Friendly, conversational, but she was not nosy. Anyway, I feel that I got way more service than I anticipated and highly recommend her! I certainly will be back as she and the entire staff made me feel super special. The decor of the salon is so cool and nicely decorated in a real western manner .. No tacky smells or nail art hands with roses on the walls! read more

Made appointment for massage at 4pm. They accepted appointment 3 hours before appointment. But, when I showed up they told me massage therapist was tired, so did I want to reschedule the appointment. No, I left work early and drove across town. Why would I risk doing that again just to find out that someone is to tired to make their appointment. And to be honest, the therapist was a small woman who appeared to be in her 60's so I would assume being to tired for an appointment is a regular occurrence. read more

The whole spa/salon is so cute! I love the "farmhouse" vibe and everyone was very friendly. I saw Haley for highlights and she did an amazing job. Exactly what I asked for and I felt very comfortable with her. I am excited to go back and try more of the spa services and I will definitely see Haley again when it comes time for my next hair appointment. read more

Highly recommend this Salon and Day spa. I got a gift card for my birthday and I used it to get my nails done. Emily did an amazing job. I love the atmosphere of this Salon. Lots of options to give you for drinks and the girls in there really take care of your ever need. read more

River is an amazing massage therapist. Loved getting massaged by her. Only place I go!

Place is very cute decorated however the customer service could be improved , I had to ask for water and tried numerous times to make conversations with Lisa , my hair looked good after it was styled but one I had it washed I noticed just how patchy and horrible it looks straight ... save some money and go somewhere else read more

I booked a nail appointment for the week after my pedicure. when I showed up they didn't have me anywhere on the schedule. I would suggest having someone proficient in scheduling on a computer system working the front desk. read more

Visiting from out of town. Looked online for pedicure places in Billings and saw this adorable place. I was so excited to have a pedicure and sit in the darling swing chairs. The decor was so well put together and very detail of the place was well done. Then it came time for my service..... they were 30 minutes late. The staff never apologized and didn't really seem worried. One of the staff members talked to us the entire time, interrupting our conversations and sharing inappropriate details about their medical health. We were unable to relax and enjoy our service. What I couldn't understand was what all the staff were doing. There were two gals just milling about while we waited. One staff member looked as though she had come to work in her pajamas. Not professional! I will not be back, save your money and go elsewhere! read more

If time and common courtesy mean anything to you stay far away from this place. The facade and decor might be cute but the technician's attitude my appointment was with is downright ugly. She didn't see me until 20 minutes past my appointment time and then proceeded to berate me for scheduling the wrong type of appointment and she didn't have time for me. I made an appointment for a regular manicure not knowing whatever I already have on my nails is of any importance nor does their website indicate such things. (I have SNS powder on them currently, I thought it was like gel and not a big deal. Boy was I wrong!) Someone higher up came along offering to reschedule the appointment for another day, after I've already waited 20 minutes... Not good enough in my book. I'll never be back and word of mouth is a powerful thing. read more

I made an appointment two weeks ago. Then they canceled it Becuase the lady didn't show up for work. This is not a good place. Becuase they may cancel the appointment that you have been waiting for. read more

This place it totally adorable from a decoration stand point however being on time and keeping appointments is not high on the list. Our appointment was at 10am, we still hadn't started by 10:50am. At this point this should be a free service for the length of the wait. And they don't seem concerned that we have been waiting this long. You expect this type of thing at the cheaper nail salons but when I'm paying $50 for a pedicure, I expect a much higher quality service. They definitely need to work out the kinks. If I was the owner I would be apologizing up and down and would do the service for free. They barely apologized. I'm not impressed. 11-16-16 - wow to say that I'm impressed is an understatement. The owner of the salon asked me to call her to to discuss my experience. We had a lovely conversation and she told me all that has been done to fix the problems and change business going forward. Customer service plus! When I am back in town I will definitely be back in. Everyone deserves a second chance! Thank you Brandi, you are a class act and truly understand customer service! read more

Great first experience today at The Rustic. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. I was able to schedule a same day massage. My massage therapist Tavia was excellent! Easy to talk to and very responsive to feedback. Got some much needed relief and relaxation! Will definitely return. read more

My daughter treated me to a mani/pedi for Mother's Day here. I was so excited, hoping it would be all that is had hoped for when you go to a spa type salon. We arrived on time, asked to pick polish and to sit. 20 minutes later I asked if they had any water. After a trip to the back, she brought out ONE warm bottle, there were two of us. We should have left then. That one gesture is how the business is run...with no real thought for the comfort of the customer! I question, now, if any of the techs are really trained. The pedis, swinging, getting in and out, could be very dangerous. I have a bad leg, my daughter is pregnant. The entire time felt that it was very unscheduled and disorganized. Our appt was at 6:00 pm for 2 pedis and one mani. We didn't get out of there till almost 8:00 and I didn't get the mani!!! Brandi said she would get me in and text me the next day. No text. Badly managed, with no authentic customer service. Spare yourselves! read more

I turned to The Rustic to kick off my wedding-dress shopping trip. I tried to set up a suite of services a few months in advance, but a few communication mishaps changed up the plan. When the mixup became apparent, the staff at The Rustic did everything they could to still provide a great start to my trip. I received an apology, and a chocolate or two, as well as amazing service for my maid of honor and myself. The four technicians who provided our massages and facials were polite, responsive and skilled. In addition, the day spa worked with me to set up services to fit my schedule. We had a great experience, and would recommend The Rustic, as we plan to return ourselves! read more

Agree that it is a totally cute place, however it was the worst pedicure that I have ever had. I went with my daughter, her tech started her pedi right away, I sat with my feet soaking for 20 minutes while my tech finished his manicure appt. He barely filed the dead skin at all and when doing the salt scrub, he was so rough that it was painful and I have bruises. He then painted my nails, the whole thing took 20 minutes, then told me to sit there for 20 minutes to dry before putting my sandals on. my daughters pedi actually took the 60 minutes that it should. The menu also said that we would have a heated neck wrap which was never offered. I will not be returning, and would hope to save someone else the disappointment. read more

Such an amazing spa!!!! It was hands down the most fun, beautiful, spa I have been too in a looong minute. I went to Montana to visit, and heard great reviews about the Rustic. So, I decided to give it a try. Not only was the staff top notch accommodating, but the service quality provided way exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be going back there in my next trip to Montana read more

Extremely expensive. A basic pedicure is $55. That's just too much. The gals who work there are awesome and fun, and the atmosphere is unique, but the prices have to be competitive. They just aren't at Rustic. This is Montana, not LA or NYC. Please rethink your pricing. I won't be back, sadly. I can get a pedicure of equal quality for less elsewhere (and for $50, a hot wax as well). Sorry. read more

Okay experience. The space is well put together and comfortable. Music was way too loud. Nail tech was under experienced, and I had to fix several of the mistakes at home. Not sure I'll go back but wanted to give the local business a chance. read more

The interior of this salon, a blend of rustic wood with a graceful charm, is incredibly cute. My stylist, Llogan, did a great job on my hair color. read more

Cute place but I don't have anything good to say about the service. I got a pedicure and there was little to no massage (very soft, at that), polish job was poor and boy it was slow. To top it all off, it's really expensive. I feel I got better service from one of the cheap Asian places down the street. I wish I had better things to say, it's such a cute place. read more

My husband and I recently had a Sunday Spa Day together...Can you say AMAZING!!!!! The massages were very relaxing and by far the best one I have ever had. We also had excellent Pedicures while enjoying a mimosa. All the girls are fabulous and made us feel right at home....We will be back!! read more

Salon looks cute at first but terribly uncomfortable. Worst manicure/gel nails I've ever gotten. I was really disappointed.

Seems more like a place pretending to be a spa but not making it. I have tried visiting several times for different services. Manicures have been the worst. My first gel manicure peeled off a week later. Went back for a regular manicure that never dried. Both just ended up being a waste of time and money. I also don't find it very relaxing to have a tv on in front of you. Took my husband in for a couples massage for Valentines day. We arrived early for our appointment but had to wait because they didn't have enough tables. Was told when I booked that there would be mimosas and chocolates, there were none. There was no choice of aroma therapy. The weird 90's hits music played by an orchestra was not relaxing at all. Was a bit uncomfortable that you could look through the fireplace in the room out to the waiting area out front of the shop. Was just so disappointing. There doesn't seem to be any quality or standards to their work. read more

We recently held a bridal shower here, and had over 30 guests receiving services. Even after doing back-to-back nail services for five hours straight, the owner and her techs were going flat out, turning out excellent quality, and making everyone feel welcome. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. read more

Wow! Does Joanna Gaines own a spa in Montana?!? This place is ADORABLE! The owner makes you feel so special. From the aromatic oils and neck wrap to the cute little decorative details, I loved my spa experience! My pedicure was the same price here as other nail salons, but the ambiance made this pedi unforgettable. It's a no brainier that I will go here from now on! read more

We arrived for 10 a.m. pedicure appointments to find a bag of garbage welcoming us at the front door. The staff was just arriving for the day. We were told to pick out polish and have a seat. The first thing we noticed was how dirty the concrete floor was. Maybe that is part of the rustic theme. Someone came and started water running in the pedicure tubs and told us to go have a seat and start soaking. No product was added to the water. It was just warm water. The pedicure chairs were swings hanging around edge of the retail space with a view of the front door, cash register and parking lot. They were actually kind of comfortable once we got into them. There was a big screen television on as well as music playing so it wasn't very relaxing or private. While we soaked, the staff continued to empty garbage, fold towels and do random housekeeping chores. The atmosphere left a lot to be desired and didn't have the feel of an upscale spa. We were left to soak for about 15 minutes and the water got cold. When asked how the water felt, we said it was cold. They didn't bother to warm it up. We asked for the sugar scrub pedicure but they were all out of their sugar scrubs so we got the basic pedicure. It was the most basic pedicure we've ever had. All they did was a little trimming and very little filing and then rub oil or something on our legs. No massage , no, scrub, no lotion, nothing! This would have been fine if we'd gone to a walk in nail bar and paid half the price. I will say that the polish looked fine but for the price it wasn't a very enjoyable experience. read more

I had high hopes for the Rustic Nail Bar, the inside is absolutely gorgeous and resembles a high end beauty spa! The employees, however, do NOT. I scheduled an appointment for a mother daughter mani/pedi day 3 weeks ahead of time for 10 am. We show up for our date and the woman working the front desk looked at the book with a sense of inconvenience and as if she had no idea what to do with us. I scheduled specifically what services we wanted but when we got there we were only given the bare minimum (and that's being nice). I sucked it up because my daughter was over the moon excited for our day. Throughout our experience Tony the gentleman doing our nails was AMAZING (and the only reason I'm not leaving just one star) it was as if he was picking up the slack for the other ladies, mind you one of them was complaining about everything in FRONT of the clients. Every time a customer walked through the front door no one would pay attention or even welcome them but Tony and he was the ONLY one answering the phones WHILE trying to take care of his own clients. I was really hoping for a relaxing morning with my daughter in this gorgeous establishment but instead left with a subpar feeling and. I really hope they get their act together soon and get qualified people who are actually client oriented and better at customer service. read more
