About 2 and a half years ago, I was driving down Main Street with a head full of split ends and…read morebangs down past my nose. I was desperate for a cut and a style, as I was going to Chicago for the weekend with my friends and didn't want to look like a cat who had just been dropped in a bathtub. Without an appointment, I wandered into the Salon, pleaded my case, and they got me in right at that moment! Kari cut my hair that day and I can say that since then, no one has touched the hairs on my head. I only briefly explained to her what I wanted and to my delight, she made it happen. The staff is always nice and in high spirits. They all seem to get along with each other. One thing you will notice when going to the Salon is that the staff all seem to know their clients very well. They are very personable and always focused on their client. The products they use are top of the line and really great. They always make my hair feel so strong and healthy. They also have a very nice selection of cosmetics and will help you pick out shades and products. While I don't have any children, I've seen several kids come in for a cut, and would recommend the Salon to someone with kids. I've mostly seen Josh doing kids cuts and he is so good with them. He makes them feel comfortable and makes jokes with them. I've even heard him tell children that the products he is putting in their hair (mostly detangling spray after washing) is magic. While it's definitely not the place to go if you don't want to drop a pretty penny, I always recommend the Salon to people and will continue to come back for every haircut.

I am beyond happy with my new set of nails, by Codi, and the entire experience was wonderful! My…read morenails are perfect! Codi made sure the shape was exactly what I asked for and the design is spot on. The shop was really nice as well with a lot of calming plants and plenty of space. I was greeted so sweetly when I arrived, too. Codi's station was also really nice and obviously kept incredibly clean with a ton of color options. The overall service was wonderful and Codi has amazing prices. I absolutely recommend stopping in for any of their services. This is definitely my go to nail shop!

I usually get that done every 3-4 months when I reach a point where the hair on my sides becomes wild and unmanageable. The top is thin enough that there's no worries up there. Anyway, I come home when she's already in bed. She wakes up, takes one look at me and let's out a shriek. Let's say it was a little short in spots. During a recent stop in Ames, my hair had timed out and stopped at the Hair Professionals. They did a very good job and when I returned home with compliments from my lovely wife.

I've been a client for many years because I can count on her to be steadily reliable. Why look elsewhere. Waxes are great here too. She uses the best new wax that I believe is French.

I just had a hydraderm facial and it was amazing!!! I wasn't sure what to expect but it was…read moreincredibly relaxing. The amount of dead skin cells that came off my face was crazy! Lindsay had such a gentle touch, I was immediately relaxed. In addition to the skin benefits, Lindsay's method also opened up my clogged sinuses and help relieve the tension I always carry in my neck. If I could add her head/neck massage to every one of her services I would! I left feeling fresher and glowing! I have very sensitive:reactive skin so I expected to leave red and blotchy but the products she uses are so soft and gentle I didn't end with any redness. I've gone to Lindsay for her waxing services so many years and have never had a bad experience. This was my first facial but it won't be my last! Highly recommend!

I'm so, so low maintenance about my hair it's honestly sort of embarrassing. So much so that I…read moredidn't think anyone could screw my hair up, but alas. I went to a girl named Hayley (Haleigh? Hayleigh? I'm not sure how it's spelled) at the north Ames location. I just wanted my hair trimmed and a lightened -- balayage, highlights, whatever -- I didn't really care. I always trust my stylist to do what makes the most sense. That's it. Trim the dead ends and make my hair blonder. She seemed confident so I totally trusted her. First, she left me sitting with bleach in my hair for 40 minutes while she LEFT to go eat her dinner. She came back, took my to the sink to shampoo/rinse and put a toner in my hair. She left me there for another 55 minutes (super uncomfortable sitting with your head in a sink for 55 minutes lol) while she left to GO TO THE CAFE ACROSS THE STREET. What? She went to go buy cheesecake with her coworkers. She came back, ate her cheesecake, then came back to me. She washed my hair, blow dried it, and it was awful. My hair was grey and purple. Then she trimmed it, and screwed up the trimming around my face so much I ended up looking like I had a mullet. A grey and purple mullet. Yes. Anywho, I was polite about it but said I was unhappy and surprised by the result. She offered to try and fix it the next day and I declined and just asked to not be charged. They declined my request, and charged me almost twice the amount it said I'd be charged on their website ($113 on their website, and they charged $197). I went to Leedz Salon the next day and they fixed it. They're wizards. Please just go to Leedz instead and stay far away from this place.
