It'd been a loooong time since my last haircut. In my extensive search to find the best place to…read moreget my locks trimmed in Iowa City, I stumbled upon Nova Salon. I didn't have a specific stylist in mind, so I was matched up with Irina. I believe I called on a Wednesday and was able to get an appointment for a few days later. I was Irina's last appointment on a Saturday afternoon, but you never would have known. She was very friendly, listened to what I had to say, and gave lots of great advice. I left with the exact haircut I asked for. Have I been able to style it the way Irina did? Heck no. That requires talent I simply don't have. Irina taught me a lot about my hair - what to do with the random grays that make an appearance, the type of hair I have, etc. Seriously, what she taught me was totally worth the price paid; aside from the actual haircut itself. The salon is super clean and inviting. Lots of natural light, especially at Irina's station because of where she's located. They do sell hair products including Amika (which I personally like). I had no idea how much it was going to cost (around $75 with tip) for a women's cut, as prices aren't posted online. I suppose I could have asked when I scheduled my appointment, but it didn't really matter to me. I'm someone who gets her haircut 1x per year. Recommend. I'll definitely make a return visit.

I wasn't overly thrilled with the salon I'd been frequenting since I moved here so when my friend mentioned he'd had a good experience here at Moods, I figured I'd give them a try. I made an appointment a week in advance through their online booking, which was super helpful to view the stylist bios and pricing before committing plus it sent me a few timely reminders via text. I arrived roughly 15 minutes ahead of my appointment and scored a parking spot right out front. Sammy was with another client so I had a short wait while she finished up and reset her station. After a quick chat to establish a game plan, I was off to the wash and back in the chair for what felt like the quickest haircut of my life. I swear it was about 30 minutes from chat to checkout! I really appreciated that she styled my hair how I'd be styling it at home so I was able to get a good sense of the cut before I left the salon. Again with curly hair, this makes a world of difference! Overall, I enjoyed my experience at Moods. Whatever happened in previous Yelp reviews, that was nowhere to be found on my visit. The space was inviting and the staff seem to be very experienced. I also thought my haircut was very affordable compared to other salons I've been to. Glad I took my friend's advice and will definitely be paying it forward if anyone asks. I even booked my next appointment as I left (something I never do!)

I'm a former stylist, with some barber training, which makes finding someone to cut my hair a challenge. Just as surgeons maybe shouldn't perform their own surgeries, I know when to let someone else cut my hair. 9am on a Thursday I walked in to Moods to a friendly sign asking me to put shoe coverings on (and mask up of course!). I liked this a lot. COVID has butchered the salon industry, so anything that a salon can do to up the sanitization game is huge. Moods Salon was spotless. Then I met Amber. Stylist roulette handed me a beautiful, friendly and enthusiastic ray of sunshine. (No really... you cannot ignore it.). From just a haircut perspective: once I stopped talking about "my hair" (we ALL do it..) she chimed in that she had originally attended barber school and was just shy of finishing when she transferred to cosmetology school to finish up. Oh Universe! Her skill showed this truth. I sit here writing this with the best grown out haircut I've ever had. Amber is going to be getting a call from me today, and I cannot express how good it feels to know I can count on another amazing haircut by an incredible woman.

The website was contemporary and clean and I liked the daring hair styles they could do. I gave it a shot and it was well worth it. Megan is excellent and gives you great personalized attention. She listened and delivered beyond my expectations. My first cut with her was amazing, the second was even better, and the color I just did is stunning. It does cost a small fortune to go here, but it's worth it if you want quality and long-lasting results. I don't skimp on color or cuts because that's the hair you have to live with for weeks/months!

Nothing against my lash extension girl (Ashton) she was very nice and very professional. I may go there to get my hair done at some point.

They both take time and do not rush through their work. The quality of the stylists is outstanding and the atmosphere is very positive and lively with good music. This is important if you require a 3 hour appointment as I do. Tim and Allie are both very receptive to ideas and positively encouraging change. When my daughter wanted a pixie cut and 2 stylists at our previous salon wouldn't do it and tried to talk her out of it, we decided to try Buzz. Tim was so excited to work through this style change with her and it made her very confident about this choice. The prices are a bit higher than some other local salons, but I will not go anywhere else. You get what you pay for - both in the services and the beautiful, wonderful experience.
