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.

Wow, I've been going to this place for years. It's extremely difficult to find parking. They treat…read moreyou so poorly when it comes to the problem of parking. They know it's a problem. The day I went for an appointment half the metered parking in front of their establishment was "No Parking" mandated by the city. Instead of working with a client of many years, they insisted "15 minutes" or the appointment is cancelled and you are charged. This is so inhuman. They are based out of another state and are unwilling to accommodate clients when there are exigent circumstances, like the city taking parking away, making it even more difficult to park. I'm done struggling to find parking and being met with a lack of compassion or flexibility. It's not worth it. If you're okay with inflexible rules, lack of compassion and a refusal to respect you as an years-long client, this is your place.

I wanted my adorable kitties on my nails and Matty really understood the assignment!! She does great nail art, was also very pleasant to talk to and made my experience a relaxing one! I also love that upon check in I was offered water, coffee or tea and a fresh hot towel for my hands.. only things that could have made the experience better would have been to be offered a glass of wine, a heated neck wrap and a foot soak LOL.. I'd come in early and pay extra to get all of that while waiting to be brought back for my scheduled services so take note, Rain Salon & Spa! In conclusion, It was a fabulous mani and I'd definitely come back. I plan to visit their Garden City location at some point as well as there are some additional services offered there.

I love coming into a place that feels welcoming and serene. It's a pretty salon, just like the pics! I called and requested a stylist who was good with coarse hair. I have hair breakage from hormones and I just came off an eczema flare up that lasted ten months so I didn't get a haircut for a long time due to scalp sensitivity. Julia was assigned to me and she was great. We did a hair mask that was suggested during my appointment booking and I guess I really needed it. lol. My hair feels amazing. Julia did all the things I hoped for as I left it up to her on what to do. I didn't have any style in mind, I just told her what I didn't like and she took into consideration my hair type, how much time I put into styling my hair, and my face shape. I left with the length I wanted to keep, long layers and soft bangs that sweep to the side. I can wear it curly which is my natural or blow it straight. I love leaving like I got what I wanted and paid for. I really like finding a new stylist where I can return every six weeks and get taken care of. Yay!

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

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.
