She gave me beautiful long layers and face-framing pieces while keeping my length, and I'm obsessed with how much movement my hair has now. Adri was so warm and welcoming and had me laughing the entire appointment. She also recommended three great products and showed me exactly how to recreate the blowout at home, which I really appreciated. I've never left a haircut this happy! I already have my next appointment booked and can't wait to come back. Couldn't recommend Adri enough!!

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.

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!

We have been here twice now for piercings.

Our second visit was on 1/19/26, and my daughter got her second earlobe piercing. Piercings are a walk-in basis only, so there could be a wait. As with any tattoo/piercing shop, you'll need a valid ID in order to receive any services. John does such an amazing job every time. He's caring and knowledgeable as well as an all-around fun person to talk to. He measures where the piercings should go before he marks them and then triple-checks that the placement is correct before asking the client how they feel about the placement. He's quick and efficient, yet very calm and patient. The quality and variety of jewelry he has in stock is amazing as well as the aftercare products he provides. John makes sure to go over all aftercare procedures for each piercing as well as gives a small bit of sea salt for cleaning. There are other aftercare cleansers available for purchase as well; we bought the Mudscupper's Brand, and it works wonders! Overall, the vibe is really laid back, relaxed, and comfortable. It's clean and well-organized as well as bright, but private.

Piercing Review I…read moregot my navel piercing here 3 years ago. After I left, I noticed it was a little bit crooked. No biggie, I'll be the only one to notice. The problem really lies in the fact that 3 years later, it's still not healed. And yes, I followed the piercer's instructions. 2 years in, I called them thinking maybe I'm allergic to the metal in the jewelry. I've heard that can cause piercings to not heal, and I purchased the jewelry from them. I didn't expect them to fix anything, I just wanted the details so that I could find different jewelry. They didn't even know the size or material of the jewelry that they have in store. Just make the drive to Des Moines. Both of the places in Ames suck. The only upside to going here is that everyone (now that one of their artists is gone) seems incredibly nice.
