I recently relocated to the Meridian area and needed to find a new salon. After scouring through…read moreYelp reviews, I came across A Beautiful Reaction. I was pleasantly surprised to find a salon here that uses non toxic products. What really convinced me to try A Beautiful Reaction was when I saw that the colorists and stylists received on-going education. I believe it's always important to improve one's skills. I also liked the mission statement on the website which says "We want to set ourselves apart by what we call the "BRe Experience." That means from educating our clients about the chemistry in our consultations, customized appointments built around your desires and budget, to the scalp massage at the bowl, and personalized follow up from our guest relations department guaranteeing our work." So I had high hopes going into my appt. Rather than going into detail for the sake of keeping this review on point, let's just say that I walked out of the salon with an experience that left a lot to be desired. I wrote to the owner Kelsey and expressed my dissatisfaction with the services provided and not only did she offer to make things right, but she offered to fix my hair herself. It really says a lot about a business when the owner is not only open to criticism but accepts responsibility. What a night and day experience I had this time. I was given five star service treatment from the offer of complimentary beverages to the warm towel and scalp massage at the sink. I am extremely pleased with the results. I definitely believe in second chances and I am looking forward to my next appointment.

They wanted to shampoo and cut etc. I said "how much for just a dry haircut?" $50. Not much better but because they scheduled me same day and have a 50% fee for a same day cancel..... I felt like I couldn't walk away. So there I was. However I was shocked that she didn't even use a spray bottle to dampen my hair..... it was just odd. BUT beautiful place, cozy and super inviting. I was just out of budget and I definitely felt it.

I always depend on her advice and look forward to the next visit. Thanks Kari Tarantino, Diana Butler

I routinely see Kari, so this review is specific to her hair care…read more The only issue here is that parking in front can be limited as this location is sandwiched between two popular restaurants; luckily street parking is typically fruitful on adjacent side streets. Otherwise, I love the warm yet functional interior of Mane Street Salon. I had a hard time finding a trustworthy stylist when I moved to the area and went 6 months between colors. By word of mouth, I found Kari. She was so incredibly warm, understanding and desperately wanted to fix my gray. I think she actually cared more about my color and finding the right color for me than I did. What a gift. She worked to find the right color mix and she expertly went to work. She was careful to make sure my clothing and facial skin was clean and dye free. Within a short amount of time, I was gray-free with fabulous auburn hair. She's continues to have the same level of diligence every time I go to her and I'm happy to say she's the only one I trust with my hair.

I love it and am able to style my curls easily and it still looks great 4 months later! It may seem pricey to some, but it's well worth the money if you want professional service. I do.

I get a conditioning treatment and waxing done every visit and it is so much easier and more enjoyable at this salon. **Blondies** if you're looking for a new stylist check out my girl Amanda Johnson... she's the bomb! Amanda specializes in blonde and you won't be disappointed. I've been going to her for 2 years now and she is ALWAYS professional and on time.

It would also be nice if they at least had water to offer clients- most salons I go to have that, plus coffee, hot tea and sometimes even beer / wine! But other than that it's a very clean and inviting atmosphere!**
