Krista was my hair stylist for most of the time I lived in Reno. She always does an amazing job with very fair prices. I recommend everyone I know to her when they're looking for a new hair stylist! I can't speak on color because I don't dye my hair but she always cut my hair exactly how I envisioned/wanted! read more

Had a great experience with Krista. She was super friendly, made me feel comfortable, and gave me a great haircut and color. Super cute atmosphere as well. Definitely recommend. read more

Haven Salon Studios - Hair Salons Near Me - Reno, Nevada

We moved from California and I was really worried about finding a great hair salon and stylist near our new home in South Reno. After looking on Yelp I was drawn to Haven Salo. studios. Their website was put together really well and gave a great deal of information about the hair stylist working. Victoria and I decided to make an appointment with Christopher. All I can say is "He is an outstanding stylist. I had a color and cut. The cut is just what I needed and it turned out so nice. I have my hair colored red and he put on a gorgeous color. I felt like a new woman when I was done. Victoria got a color, cut and perm. He did such a good job. ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT WE ARE SO HAPPY TO FIND SUCH AN OUTSTANDING STYLIST AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM TO ALL!!!! read more

This salon is so beautiful and so spacious. I love this salon and my stylist Carolyn is truly amazing and is the best. She truly cares what you want and makes it happen, she isn't happy unless you are. read more

Seriously a beautiful place. I talked to Alma and she gave me a $15 discount to Chris! Chris the Hair Guy! He is amazing and is so caring about every client. I talked to Chris about what I wanted-- which I didn't know what I want. He recommended me everything right and I got the cut. It was a beautiful look and i can recreate the look at home. I'm so glad! He told me how to do everything and it works! He's a great guy and you can talk to him about anything. I definitely would recommend Chris to other people-- I already have!! read more

After over two years of searching, I've finally, FINALLY, found my hairstylist! And ~ he happens to be a guy. But not just any guy. He's Chris, THE Hair Guy, of Haven Salon. First, let me tell you about Haven Salon. It's located in the Double Diamond area in South Reno. The building they're in used to be a spa, so instead of a single open space for the stylists, each stylist have their own room, so appointments are more private, personal and intimate. Chris decorated his room bistro-style, complete with a small table and a couple of chairs that reminds me of having snacks al-fresco style. His walls feature an artwork by his wife and photos of their travels. He's window also faces Mount Rose, so the view from his chair is quite beautiful. Chris was highly recommended by a friend, who mentioned he was running a first-time customer special ($15 discount). And since my prior experiences with other stylists have been ok at best, I thought, 'why not?' Setting up the appointment with him was a breeze. He uses an app that you can use to confirm, modify and see other openings in his appointment book. Very high-tech and so convenient. His haircut appointments usually run for about an hour, but he sets aside an hour and a half for first-time clients because he want to take the time to get to know the client and how to meet the client's hair needs. From the moment I met Chris, I took to him immediately. He exudes energy, joy and warmth. And when he started talking about hair, not only is he super professional, this (hair) guy knows his stuff! He studied in the Vidal Sassoon organization, and was one of the pioneers of the Paul Mitchell academy. He was an instructor at the PM academy for over 10 years, and has just recently came back to cutting hair again. Lucky me! After he welcome me to his 'bistro', he asked me to fill out a short form (whaaat?, in a hair salon?!) But it makes total sense. The form is mainly for record keeping, but it also asks what I want to have done, what do I and don't I like about my hair now, and what do I want most to have in my hair. I know we are asked about this every time we see a new stylist, but this is the first time I see someone actually have these things written down. Chris then took a photo of me, and load it to this app that captures facial shape. Once my facial shape was determined, it then recommended the hairstyles that work BEST with my shape. Surprise, surprise, it's the haircut that I want, so boom! But my favorite part of all, when he finally sat me down and talked to me about the style that I was kinda HOPING to have, he said the magic words: 'May I make a suggestion?' And I was like ~ YES, PLEASE! I can't tell you how many times I've asked stylists what they thought I should do with my hair and they stared at me blankly and sort of lost. Not Chris. He was confident. He knew exactly what I wanted and how to make it happen. After shampooing my hair and giving me a quick hair massage, Chris went to work. Usually, I don't like to chat too much with my stylist because I want them to focus on my hair. You see, I have short hair and any imperfection (read, mishap) can be very obvious and there's nothing I could do but just wait for it to grow out and hope that the next cut will be better. But Chris and I chatted, and I'm glad we did. I got to know him a little bit and what he's about, and I have to say, I'm kinda digging him as a person. We share a common love for travel, for simplifying life and letting go of STUFF, and compassion for people less fortunate than we are. He's funny, he's honest, and he's open. And as for the haircut ~ well, I just wanna say, he nailed it! I am super impressed. He was just cutting and gabbing away (at one point, I offered a 'suggestion' that he can use the clipper if he wants, and he refused because it's the same as using a machine vs. hand-made), and the next thing I know ~ voila! The best haircut I've had in YEARS. It looks modern, it's clean, it has shape, and best of all ~ it's easy-breezy maintenance! I'm very happy with it, and I'm very happy to have met Chris. He did a GREAT job. So ~ if you're looking for a new stylist, or if you're just 'meh' with your current one, I highly recommend Chris, the Hair Guy. But before you do, PLEASE let me know so I can give you this $15 discount card that's burning a hole in my wallet. Holler! read more

I have been looking for a hair stylist who knows about natural curly hair. Someone told me that Haven had somebody. After working across the way for 6 months finally got the nerve up to go. I was referred to Lisa Maxim, and I am so glad I was. She is absolutely amazing. She took my dull frizzy head of hair and turned it into the most beautiful work of art I have ever seen. She took my vision and made it her own and with her expertise she tamed my curls and made them come to life. I will definitely go back to her. I wish I could giver her more than 5 stars. read more

I have seen two stylists at the salon, both were great colorists and stylists. Raquel Breen has become my regular stylist since January 2019. Raquel has hours in the evenings and often on Sundays. She uses "Surface" products which are natural and good for people with sensitive scalps. I receive compliments about me hair frequently plus my hair is silky and no longer dry. She listens to my description of desired color, cut and style then delivers what I want. Raquel is also a great conversationalist so my appointments are fun. See Raquel for great hair and a good time! read more

Heidi is fantastic! I'm visiting family in the Reno area and my hair was in serious need of a highlighting update. She was a pleasure to visit with and a totally awesome stylist! My hair looks wonderful! Thank you Heidi! You've gained a new client! This salon is beautiful, modern, yet comfy, extremely clean, and I love the private salon rooms. Excellence is difficult to come by these days, but Haven Salon Studios is the essence of excellence in salons! read more

JUST JAW DROPPINGLY STUNNING! Between the decor, location, and service I can't say enough. From the moment you walk in, the ambiance fills your soul with peace and beauty. So many places in town try to accomplish this, but do not succeed. What sets this place apart from the rest is this...Haven in a true retreat that feels like it was made just for you. Each suite has it's own unique flair that adds that personal touch from each provider. The salon offers every service and product to fit a variety of needs and desires. Everyone I met seemed to be genuinely excited to meet me and wanted to be of service. Michon was absolutely amazing and knew exactly what my unkempt hair needed to make me look like a million bucks! Without killing my pocketbook like some other places in town! I can't wait to come back and experience more of what this beautiful place has to offer! read more

Heidi Hunter is a pro from colour to intricate styles. Haven is a great salon with all private rooms and relaxing and elegant Ambience. I have known Heidi for 10 years and owner Michon Kessler for 7. Both are very dedicated and stay current on trends. read more

Love LOVE love this place! Upon entering it feels classy and it's everything you want in a spa. Massages, waxing, etc and of course lots of little local knick knacks to peruse while waiting. I found this place through Yelp and sooo glad I did. Booked a massage for my preggo friend and booked a facial wax for myself haha. Shout out to great customer service and to Chelsey a special thank you and to Hajnalka. Literally Hajnalka is one of the best in all my years and experiences of waxing. Super impressed with her. :) can't wait to visit my friend again and come back here !!! read more

I really appreciate the private rooms that the stylists have. Michon has been cutting my hair for quite awhile and does a phenomenal job each and every time.

I highly recommend both Haven Studios and Michon! read more

Kalena Turley has been doing my hair for over the past 15 years. She has truly mastered the skill of hair artistry. I just recently received my first ever hair extensions and I absolutely love them! I have very fine, thin hair and as a result, for most of my adult life, I had chosen to keep it short. But, not today, today it's long, flirty, and fabulous, all thanks to Kalena! The application process was done flawlessly. My hair looks and feels beautiful! Kalena truly is the whole package deal, excellent stylist, colorist, and superb specialist of hair extensions! read more

Christopher Tornatore is the ultimate artist of hairstyles. Five stars do not quite do justice here. Christopher's professional skills and artistic sense are on par with the best stylists of New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles. Christopher utilizes a conceptual approach, where he evaluates all the components that ensure a great haircut: hair texture, face shape and features, individual preferences and prior experiences. Christopher will give you a great recommendation of your ultimate best look which will allow you to make your own best informed choices. I have read great reviews of Christopher's work, and I had high expectations. Christopher completely exceeded my expectations. He was able to reproduce the exact versatile haircut I was looking for, which previously I was only able to get with my hair stylists on the east coast (which I have worked with for many years.) For those who value the overall experience: this elegant salon has a very relaxing atmosphere and Christopher's studio has the best views of the Sierras. Enjoy! read more

I absolutely love this salon! The entire staff is amazing! And Sarah V. does amazing hair as always! I look forward to each and every appointment. read more

Michon Kessler is beyond awesome with hair color and styling. She recently began this new adventure by opening Haven.

This is a beautiful salon with excellent staff. Everyone is friendly, professional, and offer superb services. I see Michon, one of the hair stylists, and I couldn't be happier! read more

Haven is one of the most beautiful, comfortable and serene salons I've ever been in. The stylists and other services each have their own rooms, so you are not sitting in one large room with 10 people chatting away about their Aunt Lucy's gall bladder operation! Right, you've been in that salon, too? My husband and I both get our hair styled by Michon, and he is also very comfortable at the salon, which I think is amazing. I haven't had time yet to try some of the other services, but facials and massages in such a calm, private setting are definitely on my list. I would highly recommend you try Haven -- oh, and it's in a great central location and easy to park. read more

I have hunted for a salon on yelp since I haven't been in one since I was a teen and I'm so glad I chose this one. It's absolutely beautiful inside and very well-kept. Once I went inside, I just instantly knew that the quality of services had to be just as amazing as its interior design. My appointment was with kristyn Johnson and she sounded very confident with hair and knowledgable about the products she used. My hair was uneven, dry and not flowy; however, with just a couple of snips here and there, good styling from Kristyn, I'm happy to say that my hair feels absolutely amazing. She educated me on how to get the hair style I wanted and she made it look super easy. Can't wait to try it when I get home! Definitely come to this salon if you're looking for a go to place. I'll be back next month to get a balayage from Kristyn and I'm sure I won't be disappointed :) read more

Haven Salon Studios is just what South Reno needed - Michon's new location is absolutely stunning, and she has amassed the most professional and down-to-earth staff one could hope for. Each suite is private which lends itself to a personable, spa-like feel. Michon is an expert at her trade; I'm never disappointed with my cut or color. I appreciate her added touch of playing music according to my taste and mood (she has an expansive playlist, something for everyone). Making an appointment is a breeze whether you use the on-line booking system, text, email, or call. Whether you're looking to fine-tune your current look or are ready for something new, Michon will take care of you. read more

Holly Lumsden is a fantastic stylist. She gets mens cuts just right and is quick and efficient. So nice to have someone who knows what she is doing! read more

I have had two massages with Mike Fronk and he is by far the best deep tissue massage therapist I have ever had. He is super strong, yet has a great feel and 18 years of experience. He also has a fun personality and easy online scheduling. I also like his bell that lets him know you are ready to start. read more

I found Michon of Haven Salon Studios on Yelp. Their salon is very beautifully decorated and very pleasant. Michon's salon is peaceful and private. This was my first visit and Michon spent time finding out what my particular desires were in regard to my hair. She did a fantastic job with both color and cut. I will definitely be using Michon as my regular hair stylist. I rate her a "10". read more

I drove by Haven Salon for three years on my way to work every day and finally checked out their website a few weeks ago. After going through their stylists' biographies and reading Yelp reviews, I decided to text Chris to request an appointment and I am so glad I did! I have been to ten different salons since moving back to Reno three years ago and have not been satisfied with any outcome. But, Chris changed all of that. He touched my hair, assessed the texture and length, looked at my face shape, asked me a few questions, had his lovely and talented shampoo assistant (and wife Dani!) wash my hair, and then he began to reshape my droopy, heavy locks. Chris is charming, very interesting and an extremely experienced artist. He has worked with Vidal Sassoon and Paul Mitchell and has taught many stylists their craft. I watched him work like a magical maestro, waving his scissors over my hair in precise snips; lifting, measuring, and making sure the two sides matched. He showed me how to put volumizing product in my hair to achieve the desired look and finish it with setting spray. I looked AMAZING! Its been three days since my cut and style and my hair still looks great although I do need to stop by and pick up some of that styling product. Thank you, Chris for giving me the best hair cut and style I have had in 30 years! I can't wait to see you two again soon! read more

I would highly recommend this salon and stylist, Trina Peckenham. The space is beautiful and clean, a very nice ambiance. I went in for warm blond highlights on my medium-length hair. Trina was so thorough about finding out exactly what I wanted. She took the time to ask questions and look at pictures to make sure we were both "on the same page" about what I was looking for. Trina was so friendly and made me feel very comfortable during the entire experience. By the time my hair was finished, her skill and expertise was obvious...my hair turned out perfectly! In past experiences I have learned that it usually takes several visits for a stylist to perfect my color, but Trina hit the target on her first shot! I'll definitely be back. read more

I love this salon! Chelsey is fantastic! I have had massages from different massage therapists and she is the best. After 60 minutes you feel like a new person. She does relaxation massages and my personal favorite, hot stones. She also does pre-natal. If you want the best massage in Reno, see Chelsey at Haven Salon Studios read more

Maya at Haven is phenomenal. One of the best hairstylists I have met that can cut and color with nappy locks. The atmosphere is amazing and relaxing. Great little hidden hotspot amazing service and hair care. read more

Can't say enough about how fabulous Kristyn Johnson is!! I'm newer to the area coming from Southern California and hadn't found a good stylist/salon, but have definitely found my new place!!! Facilities are beautiful and large, great location, all the services you'd expect at a top quality salon. Kristyn is amazing and so talented! She really made me feel GREAT about my hair, and myself, again and I absolutely recommend her and the Salon. Can't say it enough! Highly highly recommend! read more

I recently moved to Reno and was looking for a new hairstylist. I read nothing but positive reviews for Michon and had my first visit at her old location. Just had the chance to visit her new location at Haven and I am very impressed. The location is beautiful and I love that Michon only services one client at a time so you get her full attention. A very relaxing experience and her services are top notch! read more
