LaVonna is a total expert at color, and can professionally guide you to the best options. She also does great at haircuts and styles; she is very observant and can figure out a style that works best with your face and your life! As a librarian I love that LaVonna researches all her products very thoroughly before she uses them on clients, and before she sells any through her affiliate businesses. Last but not least, I love all her dogs and cats! They are super friendly! Its like a vacation getting my hair done at Color Studio, A New Thing!

I knew Emily was serious about curly hair because she requires clients to come with clean dry hair with no styling products. This is really the only way to get a decent curly cut, especially for someone whose hair isn't the same texture all over. She takes the time to understand not just your hair but what you want your hair to look like. My cut came out exactly the way I wanted and suits my lifestyle. Will definitely be back.

Jamie and Courtney are my go to gals and both have me walking out looking like a million bucks no matter how bad I look when I walk in. The new salon, while smaller that the former location, is nice, clean and easy to get to. The staff is all the same friendly group that was at the Wannamaker location. And the prices are still as reasonable as they were before. In addition to hair, you can have facial waxing, shellac for your nails and pedis as well. It pretty much is my one stop shop for my beauty "tune up". If you know me, you know I don't trust my hair to just anyone. The folks at Ego's have earned my trust and my business. Thanks Ego's!

I have been seeing Mark at Ego's salon and day spa for, let's just say a couple of years... He is…read moretruly an expert hairdresser and has worked wonders for my hair. I've had long blonde hair that he transformed from a run of the mill bleach blonde dye job (from another salon) to gorgeous, shiny-like the sun color and cut. He's also transformed this shiny blonde to a very warm, rich brunette. It was a huge transformation and his color expertise created a beautiful 180 change. Both color-jobs were fan-freakin-tastical! Amy at Egos was kind enough to fit me in for a last minute trip home to bring the brunette back to blonde...it is summer after all :) She did such a wonderful job that I was stopped in my tracks, asked where I got my hair done and complimented on my "new-do" from here to the sun! Mark and Amy at Egos are truly gifted hair dressers. They listen to what you want, and give their expertise feedback. I have NEVER been disappointed with a color or cut...and I am very picky. Topeka is so lucky to have you guys and I feel that I have been spoiled having such a wonderful salon and absolutely fantastic hairdressers in my own backyard for so many years! Work schedule will dictate that I'll need to find someone to see here in StL, but I'll be trying my hardest to get an appointment at Egos when I visit home!

I had a bad experience with one of the nail techs. She did my nails on a Monday afternoon. She used…read more"builder in a bottle," instead of acrylic. She didn't tell me she was going to, didn't ask if it was okay. Just proceeded to use it. I have never had anything but acrylic nails done. When she was filing my nails, almost every single one of my fingers was bleeding. She used the green liquid stuff on almost every single finger. My fingers were so sore after that, I couldn't put them in hot water for days. Not only that, I had a nail break the next day, and the day after that, and I had enough. Three nails broke within two days. She offered to fix them for free, and so did the owner, but my fingers were still so sore, and honestly I didn't feel comfortable going back. When I spoke to my husband about this, and he told me I was not going back there for them to cut up my fingers again. I sent her a picture and told her what happened and asked for a refund. She refused. She said she's never had to give a refund in 24 years. But she finally agreed to refund half of the cost plus the tip I gave her. Total cost was $70 and I gave her a $10 tip. So she refunded $45. She sent me a screen shot of the refund.. my husband saw it pending on his credit card the next day. Two days after my appointment the refund was no longer pending on my husbands credit card. It was gone altogether. Like she cancelled the refund. I would not recommend that lady for nails to anyone.

Amanda was welcoming, friendly, and patient (with both us and our little guy), and she was very responsive. She had the perfect balance of getting the job done and knowing how to work with and engage toddlers. We were very appreciative of her. It was also a nice touch to add a Polaroid picture and lock of hair pouch for the first time cut. The place was also solid - not too overwhelming but enough touches to cater to little ones. There is a nice play area for kids to use while waiting and several options to occupy their time. Four options are available for kids to choose from, and while they could use some touch up in terms of cleaning, they were nice. Overall, it's definitely newer, but it appears it has been kept up well. If we lived here, we would be back for sure! We'll definitely keep it in mind when visiting family and would recommend to anyone!

Even as our son grew a bit impatient and started moving around, Amanda kept him fascinated by the cool chair he was sitting in while she finished the cut.

The space is also a great balance--inviting young ones in without overstimulating them.
