    Before and after of my extensions ! I've had them for about a year and they still look just as beautiful as the day I got them.
    Paulina R.

    This woman does literal miracles to your hair and your confidence. She has gotten very big in the area so booking with her can take a while . I believe I had to wait about 2 and a half months to see her but it was totally worth the wait . She helped me love my natural hair again. I got extensions which she ordered and installed. Super pricey but so worth every penny if it means your confidence bumps up from a 3 to a 10! There's never a dull moment, she's so fun and easy to talk to! Always look forward to my appointments with Loni!

    BY FAR THE BEST CURLY HAIR STYLIST IN RENO!!! I repeat the best hair stylist in Reno. I am so thankful I found Loni to deal with my hair. First of all she is a queen, beautiful inside and out. I am always so comfortable sitting in her chair. Before I met Loni my hair was so dry, brittle, and I swear it lost its curl. I never wanted to style my hair because it was just so difficult to deal with. I hated my hair. Loni took the time and helped me revive my hair back to life. She dry cuts your hair so she can see what will look best for your face shape. She also does the dry cut to make sure she doesn't cut it too short because if you have curly hair you know it shrinks when it's wet. For me that is amazing because I have always had my hair cut too short in the past. Loni showed me the ins and outs of my hair and shared tips with me about my curly hair pattern that helped me learn how to style my own hair. Her technique is flawless and let me tell you IT WORKS. I wasn't a believer in someone cutting or styling my hair, but meeting Loni was a game changer. If it wasn't for her my hair wouldn't be amazing and beautiful. Now I am thankful I have curly hair and I have a stylist that loves what she does. Go see Loni if you want gorgeous curls!!!!!

    Before and after!

    All I have to really say is Loni is amazing! The work she put in my hair to show me my curls true potential is a shock to me. No stylist have I been to before specializes in curls so I've always got the quick snip and hair straightened, but not with Loni. She cut off the dry ends, styled my hair through her process and my hair came out a masterpiece! And with her guidance I'm able to replicate what she did and I've fallen in love with my curls! This is coming from someone who absolutely despised my hair, always wanted it straight and even came to the point of shaving it ALL off! Now I can't even imagine shaving my hair OFF again! Even though I was planning on doing it again right before I met Loni. Again she is amazing and I recommend any curly hair women and men to visit her and let her show you your hairs true beauty!

    Desert Curls Studio is located inside of Sierra Salon Suites, suite number 14, off of Sparks Blvd. The salon is beautifully lit inside with amazing wall art, and furniture. Loni is a master when it comes to hair, I call her The Curly Hair Goddess, she is amazing when it comes to the art of coloring, cutting, and teaching you how to manage curly hair. I know she works wonders for straight hair as well, but my hair is curly so this review is for the curly haired folks. What I love about Loni the most, is that she is always teaching and promoting education, that to me is AMAZING. I can trust that she is educated on the most current products...and all things hair. Lets be honest who wants to get their hair done by a stylist who hasn't had an education class in years....that's a bit scary if you ask me. After sitting in Loin's chair you WILL feel Beautiful, Refreshed, and Vibrant. I promise she is worth it, take that chance, if you already haven't.

    Copper for winter!

    Loni is my go to girl for everything. Annoyingly enough, I started getting grays earlier than most and loni is the only one who can make me feel confident about my hair again. She's a magician with color and cut, ensuring everyone looks amazing leaving her salon. I found my go to hair girl and I don't think I could ever go to anyone else!

    This was my first actual appointment with Jade, although I had already gone in for a consultation…read morebeforehand--and that consultation alone already made a strong impression and helped me feel comfortable trusting her with my hair. During the consultation, Jade took her time in a way that immediately stood out. She didn't rush through anything or treat it like a quick overview. Instead, she really listened to what I wanted, asked thoughtful questions, and carefully looked at my hair's current condition and history. What I appreciated most was how honest she was while still being kind--she didn't just tell me what I wanted to hear, she explained what would actually work best for my hair in terms of color results, maintenance, and overall health. She walked me through different possibilities and made sure I understood the reasoning behind her recommendations. By the end of that consultation, I already felt like she had a clear, personalized plan for me, which made me feel confident going into the actual appointment. When I came in for the service, Jade picked up right where we left off. She revisited everything we discussed during the consultation and made sure we were still aligned before starting. I really appreciated that she didn't assume anything--she checked in with me, confirmed the details, and made me feel involved in the process from the very beginning. Throughout the appointment, she was extremely communicative in a calm, natural way. She explained each step as she went--whether she was applying color, adjusting tones, sectioning, or cutting--and always made sure I understood what she was doing and why. It made the entire experience feel very transparent and reassuring. Instead of sitting in silence wondering what was happening, I felt included and informed the whole time. Her attention to detail was one of the most impressive parts. She didn't rush at any stage, even when it took extra time to refine things. With the haircut, she carefully shaped and rechecked sections to make sure everything flowed properly and suited my face shape. With the color, she was very intentional about tone balance and blending, making sure it looked natural, even, and well-integrated rather than patchy or overdone. Even after the main work was done, she continued making small refinements--adjusting little details that most people might not notice but that make a big difference in the final result. What made the experience feel even more special was the way Jade carries herself with genuine warmth. Even though this was my first full appointment with her, she made the environment feel very comfortable and welcoming. It never felt clinical or transactional--it felt personal in a really natural way, like she genuinely cared about how I felt during the process and how I would feel leaving. And at the end of the appointment, when everything was finished and I was fully styled, she gave me a hug. It wasn't rushed or awkward--it felt very genuine and kind, like a small but meaningful moment of connection after the service. That hug honestly made the whole experience feel even more personal and memorable. It gave a sense of warmth and care that went beyond just doing my hair well--it felt like she truly values the people she works with. Leaving the salon, I felt really happy with my hair, but also genuinely taken care of as a person. Even though this was just my first appointment, it already felt like I had found someone I could trust long-term with my hair. Jade combines technical skill, communication, attention to detail, and genuine kindness in a way that made the entire experience stand out.

    One of the hardest things about moving to a new city was giving up my hairdresser of many years. I…read moredid my research before choosing Josie, the owner of Tribe Salon, and I'm glad I did. Tribe is warm and welcoming, and I immediately felt right at home. Josie spent a good amount of time consulting with both me, and my husband, on our first visit. I was impressed with her knowledge, and how well she listened. Best cut I've ever seen on hubby, he looks super hot, and I love my cut, too. I have very thick hair, but I also like layering. Josie is a rare find, she has expertise with dry cuts, and uses a special technique with layering that doesn't make the hair thin, or get split ends. Another reason I chose Tribe is their commitment to safer and more natural color products. It doesn't smell like chemicals when you walk in the door, that' s good sign. I'm chemically sensitive, but have no issues with their products. Josie is really good with color matching. My first color treatment was similar to what I've done in the past, and I liked it, but on the next visit wanted something bolder. Her next recommendation was to try violet, and I'm absolutely in love with it! It's fun to work with someone who will truly consult with you, and be open to trying new looks. I stopped by recently to buy hair products, and Josie showed me how to properly use them. Their at-home products are Oribe, same brand as the color line, I believe, and they are luxurious and effective. I'm now able to rock my style for multiple days between washings. I highly recommend Josie, and Tribe Salon, for both men and women. Josie, in particular, has worked in the entertainment industry, and she knows how to give you that extra pizazz, to make you look, and feel, like royalty!

    HIGHLY RECCOMEND!! I cannot say enough amazing things about this salon and these two hair stylists-…read moreBrittany and Kayla. I came in same day after going to a different salon the day before, where my hair unfortantley didn't turn out as I expected. I was stressed and honestly nervous to trust someone else with my hair especially being blonde & having handtied extensions... but the second I sat in their chair, they were comforting, reassuring, and so kind. They took the time to really listen, walk me through the entire process, and explain exactly what they were doing to get my hair where I wanted it to be. Brittany did my highlights & Kayla did my sew in extensions & they both put aside time to work together and figure out the best color match for me. Their energy is friendly, easy to talk to, and instantly puts you at ease. You can tell they genuinely care about their clients and their confidence. They also kept in mind the integrity of my hair and keeping it healthy which was really important to me. I left feeling so much better about my hair and the whole experience. They made me feel safe, understood, and taken care of. If you need stylists who goes above and beyond these are your people! Can not say enough good things about this salon! Absolutely outstanding and amazing energy.

    I am consistently impressed and amazed by Rachel. She is not only incredibly sweet and patient but…read morealso extremely detailed in the work she does. I am SO grateful to have found her!!
