She is a student of her craft and constantly learning new applications, styles and trends! I'm always highly impressed and satisfied when I leave her chair!

To say that Niki is ahhhhmazzzzing is an understatement. Thank you for not only slaying behind the chair but being great company too!!!

I went here after purchasing a Groupon for a manicure/pedicure. Like the other reviewer said, I too…read morewas disappointed that there was no spa pedicure station. It was one chair with a plastic foot soaking bath. My pedicure has chipped already after one week. I then got convinced to do the shellac manicure- an $8.00 upgrade from the Groupon price. Since I was going on vacation I said sure why not. The color was chipped already from a few fingers after 1 week. It has now been 11 days and 2 whole nails have peeled off and most of my other nails have major chips in them. It seemed like a really nice place inside, and maybe their hair care is much better, but I wouldn't recommend this place for nail treatments. And I think they said the regular price for a pedi and shellac mani was $96!

I decided to leave my old salon due to a conflict of interest, sadly having to leave behind the…read morefirst person who could ever properly deal with my hair. I had no idea where to start looking for a new one, since I'm terrified of anyone new touching my hair (they always want to chop it, and can never style it properly). I'd driven by this place a ton, but never really given it a second thought until I got a Groupon for a shellac mani/pedi. I went in to make my appointment, and the owner (Alano) jumped up from the haircut he was doing to greet me and take care of me until the receptionist got back from the bank. He was very friendly, welcoming, and chatted with me a bit until she got back. I made my appointment, and Alano offered me half off a hair cut if I wanted to come back. I loved the shellac treatment; as someone who can't keep nail polish on for more than five minutes before it smudges, chips, etc., it's amazing. There's also ZERO dry time, so you can start doing things right away. I wasn't super impressed with the pedicure, mostly because they don't have a traditional spa pedicure station. I ended up booking a hair appointment with Olivia, and, despite my overwhelming anxiety to have someone new get near my hair with scissors, she did an amazing job. I mean, it was just a trim, but I've had "just a trim" screwed up too many times for my taste. She also explained what she was doing and using on my hair as she went along, and gave me a gorgeous style to boot (and cut my bangs properly for once, which is a miracle). Aside from Alano, whose prices are high (but worth it, I hear), cuts start at $25, which I think is a good price for a great cut and style. I've paid more and less, and gotten the same service paying more, and many, many awful cuts paying less. I took away one star because they don't (unfortunately) have a spa, and I am disappointed with the majority of spas in the Kalamazoo/Portage area. I'd much prefer to keep all of my beauty business here, but I can handle spreading it between Alano and KCHA.

So kind and caring, always stops by to say hello, see how I am, and spends a moment just being friendly. My stylist, Donna Lietzau, has been doing my hair since I was 18.

I have a LOT of hair, and it is very difficult to manage. She makes me look and feel beautiful, and listens to my life and is a wonderful "therapist," as well! Give this wonderful salon a chance! They do it all, they sell wonderful accessories, especially hair accessories, purses, and gifts. A true treasure!
