Had availability on short notice and I had a great service, walked away with a fantastic haircut

Don't give this dungeon place your money, the OWNERS & Erika have poor business practices & no integrity & no compassion and no care in the world about customers. I am a platinum bright blonde for 7 years now, and went in to get my roots touched up & toner while I was in town bc I live in LA & my home burned down in the fires so I was staying with family. I asked the male receptionist for a platinum blonde specialist consultation & even asked Erika when she came out to greet me if she was a platinum blonde specialist. She said yes, she's been doing hair for 20 years....WHERE WALMART?! She was confident she could do my hair. I came back the next day for the appt & I said get rid of my brown roots & for the toner I want it bright & light but on the warmer side bc I absolutely don't want grey hair (any blonde stylist knows you have to have a little WARMTH to keep brightness w/o it turning grey and ashy.) She said she understood many times. When I came into this salon my hair was BEAUTIFUL light & bright and she made it BROWN/RED/GOLD. Erika needs more corrective glasses bc clearly she can't see properly &needs to be a scam artist NOT a "platinum blonde specialist" at walmart. Erika barely lifted my roots and they're yellow & banding & brassy spots all over. Sloppy bleach application. She said she was going to fix it with a toner, when I came back from the bowl I had a toner on that was brown/red/pink NOT a bright color I told her to rinse it out it's too dark and at this point my hair is a highlighter yellow mixed with green & brown from this toner. I said you need to take this toner off it's way too dark & she REFUSED to take it off saying to give it longer. She didn't even ask me anywhere along the way how I was liking my hair. She had put 2 different toners on my head, totally different colors, at this point &have left the toners on longer than the bleach and my head was freezing cold at that point from being soaking wet for 2 hours. She wasn't even going to get the pink out of my hair unless I said something to her and she says "OH is it pink?!" Erika needs to get her eyes checked PERIOD. I was sitting there CRYING in her chair as shes TRYING to blow dry my hair and I told her to just rough dry my hair bc it's quicker bc I'm tired of being cold and I'm so upset at this point and wanna get tf outta there. She never even asked me how I liked the color or anything just SILENCE from her like she knew she purposely messed up my hair. What kind of stylist makes a platinum blonde DARKER than what she came in with?! She made my hair BROWN and GOLD tones on a platinum root touch up like WHAT?! I also got a haircut from her while it was still wet she cut one layer then I told her hey uh my hair is pink....and she immediately turned around to do toners and didn't even speak to me and completely disregarded the haircut after that so I only have one layer of my hair cut and didn't finish it. Erika has no care in the world about me or my hair. I called the owners about the situation and told them I absolutely did not want to go back to her to fix it. The 3 owners collectively agreed that I HAD to go back to Erika if I wanted it fixed and didn't offer any other solution than that. Poor business practices they literally didn't even offer to fix my hair (and should have at their expense) and that she's been doing hair for 30 years at Walmart...Erika told me 20. So the owners don't even know their stylists and who they're hiring. I was recommended this place bc my mom goes to this salon and my sister has been recommend it too but NOT ANYMORE. The owners have now lost 3 customers bc of this. The whole vibe of this place is off it's very dungeon dark vibes and they play awful music it's not even uplifting. Also, Erika asked me if I wanted water when I first sat down in her chair or something to drink and I said oh coffee would be nice and she seriously told me to go get it myself like didn't even offer to go get it or show me where it was across the salon. She had no shame in herself for her service or how she ruined my hair! read more

Blu Skies Salon - He did a rose gold balayage for me. - Hair Salons Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

See all

I want to be clear this rating isn't for the beauticians. It is based on my experience about how this Salon conducts business. Unfortunately the directions linked to their listing is not the right address so be aware of that if you use the link for direction. They also schedule appts for before the salon is actually open. So when you get lost trying to find the salon you won't be able to actually call them. This is what happened to me last Saturday. Since I wondered around the wrong building looking for a entrance and couldn't get the right directions in time I could not get my hair cut. I expressed how very disappointed I was and confirmed there would be no charge to my card. Then today I found they did actually charge me 20 dollars. I called and ended up speaking to the owner who told me that has happened before but most people were understanding so he wasn't going to give me the money back. I try to support local whenever I get the chance but there are a lot of other salons in the area that do business a lot better and are more deserving then this salon. Spend your hard earned money someplace that appreciates their clientele. read more

My son booked my appointment with Ethan ~ to make a long story short, I went through cancer treatments and still have some bald spots in my hair. I showed Ethan a couple of pictures and told him that I would like a short style that I could fix a couple of ways ~ and then told him to just go for it. He cut my hair and then he shampooed my hair and gave one of the best scalp massages that I have ever had! He is also the first stylist that has not drenched my face and ears with water! My hair still has a little curl in it ~ so while it is short: I am happy with it. I would definitely recommend Ethan at Blu Skies ~ he is awesome! This salon is very busy, so I would suggest that you make an appointment ~ Don't forget to ask for Ethan ~ You will not be disappointed! read more

Tory did a great job with my color! She looked at a photo I brought in, took her time and did a great job! Highly recommend!

I love Blu Skies! I've been going here for over a year and there's no place I'd rather go. Erin is a color genius and I trust her entirely with my curly haircuts. The rest of the crew are so fun and nice, it's always a great experience when I come here. read more

Love this place. Leslie Howard is my stylist. She did a great job on my color and style.

The color was beautiful, I did a rose gold. But the cut wasn't really a cut. It was weird. She cut it while it was dry and from all the coloring my hair was pretty dry. It doesn't look even at all. She did thin it, but since she dried it before she cut it I couldnt run my fingers through it. Just overall strange haircut imo. read more

Adam is the only person I would ever let touch my hair, I followed him here from where he was before. The décor is modern without being fussy, a comfortable couch to sit on and current magazines to browse while you wait. The other stylists are friendly, welcoming and everyone seems to really enjoy working together. It is a relaxed atmosphere with a chill vibe that it pleasant to see in a salon. read more

Very nice salon. This salon is always up on the current trends. Excellent stylist that are creative and listen to your hair problems. I highly recommend this salon. If getting a drink is what you want, they have it. This is a hidden gem in Springfield Mo. downtown off of college st. On a side road, Main st. They are very knowledgeable on hair color. No fear here, you will love your color!!! I've been going here for years. You will be very satisfied. read more

Best salon in the area, hands down. The stylists are educated and laid back. Fair prices and a great place to hang out!

I've been a regular cut/color client for several years. The stylists are all positive, upbeat, supportive. Additionally, they are all well-educated and on point with current trends. They each have their individual creative bent. (oh, and they play the best music!) read more

I was in Springfield and in desperate need of a haircut. I called and left a message at Blu Skies stating that I would like to make an appointment for the same or the next day. My call was returned by a young man named Brett. I told him that I had very short hair and hadn't had a decent cut in several months. He was fantastic! I felt like I'd been his client for years. He listened to my needs, checked out my hair, and gave me a cut that I'm loving. I had my chance to work with my hair this morning and am more than satisfied. The salon was very welcoming and comfortable. Everyone was very personable and Brett is very talented. I'll go back next time I'm in Springfield! Thank you Brett & Blu Skies! read more
