After having so many bad experience with my hair due to it being very coarse and thick, I made my problems even worse by allowing a friend to add color to my already over processed hair. I looked at my hair one day in the mirror (which had many colors and a terrible cut)I decided I needed to do something. I remembered taking my friend to Tonic and thought I'd look up reviews. I emailed about a color correction and was responded to very quickly. The lady who responded to my email told me I should come and see Ruben and that I wouldn't be disappointed. After my consultation, I was able to email back and forth with Rubens wife until I found an appointment that worked. I continued to read reviews and read 1 or 2 that were negative (one of which named Ruben) but I decided I would give it a shot. I can now tell you that anyone who has anything negative to say about their experience @ Tonic or about Ruben especially is definitely holding back on part of the story or they are just nuts! I cant even explain how happy I am with how my hair looks. Ruben did an amazing job fixing my color... and the cut Oh my he is brilliant with his hands. He has a great disposition and has intriguing information that he loves to share. He makes you feel like you have known him for years. The color took a little longer to lift than he expected and he knew I was running late. My schedule really wasn't his problem...but instead of acting like it wasn't his problem he apologized and even gave me a discount on the next service I mentioned wanting (a Brazilian Blowout). I'm so excited for my next visit. More blonde and straighter hair! His assistant was wonderful! I was asked by several people there if I needed something to drink. I have always been cheap when it comes to spending money on myself. This was a nice little gift from my fiance. Now if I had to, I'd pick up hours if I had to so that I could treat myself to Ruben before I EVER went anywhere else. Don't think twice if you come across a review that's negative. Compare the negatives to positives like I did and you will see they are greatly out numbered. Thank you Ruben!!!! read more

After days and weeks of contemplating which salon groupon to purchase for a cut I finally caved on this one seeing it had the best reviews compared to the rest. I bought the deep conditioning and haircut package and made the appointment right away. I was immediately greeted at the door by who I believe to be the owner. And then was offered either a soda, water or wine. The salon had a cool and comfortable environment. My appointment was at 4 with Chyna and I didn't have wait long until I was called by Chyna to start on my deep conditioning treatment. She gave the best shampoo/conditioning massage and I was immediately relaxed! We had a lovely conversation while she cut my hair, time flew by so quickly. Before i knew my cut was done and it was AWWWEESOME! She did exactly what I wanted(I asked for a Victoria secret haircut) and it came out beautifully!!! She then finished off with a blow dry and styled it with really cute bohemian curls. I felt great after going to this salon, like a regained confidence. I will definitely be going back to tonic and especially back to chyna! Best salon experience I've ever had! read more

I recently moved to Las Vegas and have been looking for a stylist. I am glad I found Chyna! She did a great job on my haircut and I am going to schedule an appointment to get my hair highlighted. I love the cut as well the blowout she did with my hair afterwards. I love a good blowout! It still looked great the next day! She took her time with me and didn't rush. I have found my stylist and am relieved! read more

I originally came here with a groupon and won't go anywhere else! Chyna is a hair wizard! She has done wonders for my hair. The deep conditioning treatment is great for living in the desert. Ask for Chyna when you go! read more

For the past couple of years, I'd been growing my hair extra long in order to donate it. The long awaited moment finally arrived, so I checked on Yelp for recommendations, and made an appointment with Chyna at Tonic Salon. Even though I inadvertently arrived 10 minutes late, Chyna was friendly, welcoming, and patient. She took the time to talk to me about style possibilities, answer a lot of questions I had, and offered me a drink. From the initial bundling and removal of the long tail to be donated, through the washing, the cutting, the drying and styling, and final trimming; she was careful, gentle, meticulous, and precise. She also showed me how to style it on my own later on. Chyna gave me a great haircut (for $45) and was a pleasure to talk to, as well. I will happily go back there again. read more

For years I have gotten my hair done by Ruben and have never been disappointed. The customer service and care I've gotten has always been amazing. I highly recommend him to anyone in Vegas! read more

I called in to make an appointment and was given a 2pm one. A couple hours before my appointment I get a call from the stylist that would be working on me and he said the receptionist scheduled me for another day by accident. He wasn't going to have any time until 6pm that same day. I agreed it would be just fine as long as I had my color and cut done because I had an event the next day. I went in at 6 and the stylist sat down and told me that he was working on someone else and he didn't have time to do my work. Even for a shampoo and cut it would be a 45 min wait. I drove about 15 minutes to get there and wasn't going to be driving back and fourth for an incomplete service. It was all very unprofessional. I wasted time when I could have gone somewhere else. Which I did. I ended up going to a super cuts, which I had never thought of going before. My stylist was great, helpful, had 15 years of experience and did a wonderful job. Didn't even need an appointment. Just goes to show it doesn't matter if you go to a "fancy" salon, Good service is good service. read more

I only trust Ruben with scissors near my hair! i am a dedicated fan to Ruben. he owns the salon and does cut and color. i have been going to him since he worked back at diva studios. almost 10 years ago! when i lived in nyc i would fly back into vegas just to get my highlights done by him. he knows exactly what he is doing. he makes it last for weeks by weaving those highlights in there so i could space out my appointments. now with the cuts he can thin out the hair upon request to make it lay better. the layers are always perfect and i always leave a happy customer. his assistants are always fun and everyone makes you feel right at home. never a snobbish feeling. the decor is beautiful and very homely. they also serve starbucks coffee and wine. i have even gotten my mom to be a dedicated fan to him among a few friends over the years. at the end of styling they put this serum by pearatin in your hair and i suggest buying some. it leaves your hair so silky smooth and looking fresh even 2 months after you get it done. good little investment. i always get compliments on my hair and i always hand them one of ruben's cards. i say go give it a try and you will thank me right afterwards. :) read more

I hadn't ever had my hair professionally colored before, and I am so glad I choose Tonic as the place to go. Chyna colored and styled my hair, and I left feeling so refreshed and beautiful. She was also incredibly friendly, and I had a great time getting to know her while she did my hair. Further, her suggestions were amazing, and I could really tell that she knew what she was doing, and knew what would look good on me. I highly recommend going to Tonic, and especially seeing Chyna. read more

I went to Tonic Salon based on yelp reviews and I could not have been happier. China did my hair and makeup for my wedding. She was beyond amazing!!! Not only did I look amazing but everything held up in the crazy Vegas heat. In fact my hair still looked great the next day. If you are like me and know absolutely nothing about make-up and hair go to China. I walked in and asked her to make me look pretty. She far exceeded my expectations. Thank you China!! read more

Ray really knows his stuff when it comes to curly hair. I can never find someone who understands that not all hair is the same. Loved the cut and style he did for me. The place has a really nice atmosphere and I think is one of the better places in vegas. Also the prices are amazing! read more

I saved up 200 dollars of my hard earned money that took me about 4 months to get (I'm 16) and it went to absolute waste. I had went in with box dyed dark brown hair, and I wanted a blonde ombre and the brown to be lightened. I did do henna in my hair 6 months previous, and when she bleached it of course my hair turned green. I bleached a few sections of my hair myself before going in to see if it would turn green, and it absolutely didn't. I used revlon bleach to frickin bleach it (and i used coconut oil with it, so no damage at all) and my hair turned a prettty perfect blonde. When the lady saw my hair green, she did try to remove it by putting some "malibu" called liquid in it, and it did nothing. So she put some light brown color over this green, gave me a little texturized hair cut, and charged me 120 dollars, and I tipped 25 because I felt bad. I did not like the cut, and I was very upset that I had wasted hard earned money. The brown has faded and I have dark blonde ends, with oh pleennnnnty hints of green in it now. & you can see the crappy ombre job, its not blended whatsoever, the teasing seems to have not been as effective as it should have been. Now yes I've read that henna has made your hair green if you do anything to it before letting it grow out, but all the parts I bleached myself, they were perfect. I tried to call in and arrange an appointment a month later, and they want to tone it. What the hell is toning going to do on dark blondish green hair? It won't remove the green! It's not gonna just wash out, if bleach won't even remove it. And I'm not wasting another 75 dollars (for color) on something I could do with box dye. Now, I can't just wash my hair and go because its damaged and frizzy, I had to buy expensive hair oils for it, (I have fine, but strong hair), and new shampoos and conditioners. So much for a little birthday present to myself. I won't mention her name, because she did try, but it's still pretty irritating. read more

Recenly I decided to switch to Aveda products so I was looking for an Aveda Salon and I found Tonic II. I'm really bad about making apointments expecially for a place I've never been so I walked in when they opened on a Tuesday. I like to see what it looks like inside before I commit hahah I asked if they could get me in for a cut and partial highlights either that day or the following and they were super gracious about it. After a few minutes they said they could get me in that day a few hours later. They set me up with Andy and he was great. He was very clear with me about what he was going to do. He really took the time to talk with me about what I wanted and he was really funny. I'm trying to grow my hair out so I'm spacing my appointments out a bit but I have to say this is the first time I actually look forward to going haha The recpetionist was really nice too. I think the prices are fair. Andy is a well educated professional who does great work. Overall a great experience! read more

Ray is the best hair stylist I have ever had! He took me from black box color over already dark roots and turned it into a beautiful vibrant red with even brighter peek a boos! He is very professional and a joy to be around. I will definitely come back to see him again! read more

I absolute LOVE Tonic II Salon!! I've been getting my hair cut by Bonnie for over a year now, and she always does an amazing job! She's really great at listening to what I want, and then telling me how the cut will change the way I have to style my hair. The salon is always clean and the staff is always very friendly. read more

I had my hair done with Andy the other night and had called early that morning to make the appointment. I decided to try this place since it was right around the corner from my house. Andrew answered the phone and was very nice. He told me he would call me back which he did less than 10 minutes later. He told me he could book me with Andy at 4. He then called around 3 and told me Andy was running behind and if he could move me to 5. I said sure and showed up at 5. When I arrived Andy was putting in highlights and told me it would be a little bit. So I had all the time and was very patient. Andrew made me the best cup of tea while I waited. After about 20 minutes Andy came and apologized and asked if I could come back later, so I went to dinner with my family and came back at 7. It all worked out and I didn't mind since the end result was wonderful. He chose the perfect color for me and gave me a fresh clean cut. I just wish I would have not been given the run around. I would have liked to be given a definite time. Hopefully next time I go I can actually be in the chair at my appointment time. read more

Marvelous Marvelous!!! I used a groupon to try this salon out and was pleasantly surprised! Great personalities, great environment, and best of all an amazing haircut for my super curly hair that takes a special person (Michael-great stylist!) to know how to style and cut! YEAH!! read more

Tonic II is awesome. I have been going for about a year now. Everyone is friendly and professional. Amy is great!

I have three sisters, and we all have different hair types and styles. Yet Ruben has been cutting, dying, and styling all of our hair for years. I'm the only one with curly hair, and before going to Ruben, I had no idea what to do with the mass on top of my head. But Ruben can cut curly hair, no matter if you want to wear it curly one day, and straight the next. read more

I have been to Tonic several times. It's a super cute salon and everyone is very friendly. I love the products they carry and my services always turn out great. Joree the receptionist is super sweet. She makes you feel so at home. I'll def be back! read more

i've lived in vegas for over 4 years now. can't believe i spent the first 3 years trying to find a good stylist!!! can't tell you how many tears i've shed over bad hair cut/color experiences. both me and my husband dreaded my hair appts because we both knew what was coming next... tears and cursing!!! finally, by chance, i found amy (through groupon). SHE'S GREAT!! she knows my hair's needs and limits. i use to get so anxious before my hair appts i'd almost make myself sick! now, i walk in with a smile on my face and leave with an even bigger smile :-D Thanks Amy!!!! read more

My hair stylist is Amy... She does my extensions and my blonde color... She always has me looking on point! I would recommend her to anyone. :) read more

Tonic II is the coolest salon I've ever been in. The staff is amazing and the service is great! From the complimentary beverages to the hot face towels, they don't skimp on anything. I went in to get my hair cut by Sable and she made my hair look awesome and she was very friendly. I will definitely be coming back for a haircut again and again with this kind of service. read more

I received several services from Bonnie on a recent vacation to LV. I have never had such fantastic results in my life! I'm naturally a dark/ dirty blonde and can never seem to get highlights that don't look stripey, grow out right away or damage my fine hair. Bonnie gave me highlights that look AWESOME! I also had weft extensions put in with micro rings. I've had extensions several times and they've never been as comfortable or looked as natural as these do. My hair still looks as good as it did the day I got it done and this was four weeks ago! I highly recommend this Salon. read more

I have lived all over the US and this salon is so amazing, and even more amazing is Andy Heathman the stylist that I was fortunate enough to find as a walk-in client. My color, my cut everything about my hair is amazing. His teaching me technique so I can fix it the way it should look. He is fun and listens to everything I say and want and works with me. I have never had a stylist this amazing. read more

Tonic is the best salon in Las Vegas! I've had awesome haircuts every time and I love going there. I've been to Ruben, Amy, and Casey and they are all amazing. Casey gave me a conditioning treatment and a cut yesterday and I love it! And she is the sweetest girl ever. They have two locations and they are both beautiful salons. Try Tonic or Tonic II!! read more

Very cute Salon, Reuben is the best, LOVE my highlights! Very friendly, not pretentious and extremely reasonable prices.

Kyle is the best at hair tonic... Love him he sooo knows my hair and my hair is very curley and he cuts style and colors my hair like no ones ever done it.. We love you kyle... read more

I've gotten my cuts here from time to time and I'm pretty satisfied. I used to have this terrible hair from my "scene" phase; I told them to cut them away and they did so. Now my hairs nicely grown and not too "grungy." I wish I had their hair straighteners!! read more

I used a Groupon for cut, color and high lights. I was unsure of who I getting since I had never been before. However, I was pleasantly surprised when Chyna Nghiem listened to what I wanted and actually did it. I'm very pleased with my experience there. I'll use Chyna even without a Groupon. read more

They made my hair very silky and shiny!! I haven't colored yet, but their cut was really nice! I forgot his name, but I think it was Adam who did my hair a while back and ever since then my hair has been shiny as a button :) Thank you!! I'm considering doing color if they are good with it!! read more

Chyna was a wonderful stylist I too have just moved to Las Vegas and was nervous trying new stylists until I found Chyna. She is amazing she listens and gives the right advice and will tell you straight up if it's not good for your hair or if something will damage it. She is a jewel in Las Vegas and I have found my stylist thank you Chyna you are truly an amazing artist. read more

BRIDES BEWARE! I can't comment on the actual quality of the salon or the services this place offers as I never made it in the door. I did, however, want to let everybody know what happened to me for my engagement shoot/engagement party. I booked an appointment for hair and makeup a week in advance as a previous salon had canceled on me. The receptionist made both appointments for me and I was excited. I then get a call late Thursday afternoon ( just 24 hours away from my event) telling me that the make up guy "would be too tired to come in Saturday morning at 9:00 AM as he is working the night before." Then I asked what the backup plan was and he told me that "the other make up artist is no longer with them." I then asked how he expected me to find another place to go with such short notice and he suggested Tease and Mosaic salons right around that area. He didn't offer to call around for me or find anybody to help. I called both the places he suggested and nobody had any appointments available. This salon knew it was my engagement photo shoot and party upfront and understood the importance of this day. I sure won't be booking my wedding appointments here and I certainly wouldn't advise any brides to trust this place for the most important day of your life. read more

i won a free hair cut to see ray and i was worried that i was not going to get the best service bc i wasn't paying for it. i was totally wrong!!! he was so professional and had awesome suggestions and ideas! i am also a cosmetologist and was so excited to get such great service and great style. very thankful for that free hair cut bc now i have found my new hair stylist!!!!! read more

I usually go to a friend of mine but her salon is super far away and she didn't have the time to cut me when I needed it, so when I saw the Groupon for $30 cut and treatment, I decided to take a shot. When I walked in, I got a little nervous because it's a super trendy place and I am not exactly a super trendy person. I was soon put at ease, though, because everyone was so friendly. Danette was my stylist. She took her time washing and conditioning my hair, and gave an amazing scalp massage on top of it. When we got to her chair, she investigated my current cut and told me I had some "disconnects," as in the haircut is not uniform I guess. I just said "fix it!" She blew me dry first, which was new for me, and then started cutting. I really liked the dry cut because I think it's a better indicator of what your hair will look like on a regular basis. Anyway, when I left the salon I wasn't too sure about my bangs; they seemed kinda choppy. When I did them myself I realized, this is how they are SUPPOSED to look! Because of this amazing cut, I have been getting compliments and everyday is a good hair day; I no longer dread looking in the mirror, knowing I am going to find bangs that look all stringy and separated. I'm telling you, even in the wind, they still go back the way they are supposed to. I am not normally a $55 haircut kinda girl (and I feel like a traitor to my friend) but I am reformed! No hair-angst is worth it! read more

I LOVE Tonic Salon! I've been going there for about 4 years now and, every single time it's a great - and fun - experience. Plus, my hair has gotten healthier and prettier every year! I used to go to Mosaic (just down the road), but NEVER felt 100% welcome. The cut and color were decent, but the price was never the same, and the non welcoming vibe didn't make me excited to go get my hair done. Now I can't wait to get my hair done! Tonic Salon is a like family. They are always professional and welcoming. All the stylists are accommodating, friendly, and a pleasure to be around, but, most importantly, they all, 100% KNOW THEIR STUFF!! My stylist, Ruben, is a blast and makes my hair look and feel like PERFECTION! He now styles my whole family - my kids (ages 10 and 14) and my husband's hair! If you want sleek, shiny, beautiful, healthy hair....book your appointment! You won't find a better salon to give you great hair!!! Yay, Tonic!!!! My salon for life :-) read more

The majority of stylists I have found in Vegas seem to have gone to sheep shearing school. These guys are stylin'. I walked in off the street, the door says 'appointments preferred, walk-ins by chance.' I walked in, friendly token gay guy was like 'what you want,' and I was like 'my hair, cut.' Amy was available to cut some hairs, she asks you what you want, listens, and does what is actually needed. They take care of you with beverages, massage the scalp, and do the hot face cloth thing. I felt like a purring kitten. At the time Tonic had a thing going that if you saw them on Yelp! and mention the listing you get 20 bucks off the cut. Aveda Salons are good and all, this place however just had a dark comfortable woodsy decor, Bumble and Bumble products line the shelves, and the staff is amicable going beyond the usual courtesies to give their customers an experience which will solidify a relationship for years to come. Five stars, hands down. read more
