this place is clean, comfortable and classy. I found my way to Kontempo by following my stylist. Maryn is amazing. She is a wizard with color easy to talk to and I would continue to follow anywhere so she has a great addition to the team at Kontempo. I got a color and cut now I'm ready for vacay! read more

Kontempo - freshly dyed and cut hair - Hair Salons Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Best haircut I've ever received! So nice to see the quality and care that is put into my hair. The vibe is also unmatched!

Saw Sydney for a haircut and she was amazing! She asked great questions about how I wear my hair normally, what I use on it, and took the cut slowly. I have my hair dry cut most of the time, and after age showed me how to get those beachy waves. They also gave me a bag with samples of their products and a few other goodies. Including a Chocolate that became a late night snack. Front desk is nice and the flowers are from Bloom in Rockbrook, one of my fav florists. I'm normally a last minute appointment person, but I already made my second appointment. I actually want to go back. Price-$40 haircut and style. Worth it. read more

I needed to find a new stylist. I looked at reviews and called Kontempo for an appointment. I was set up with Madison and didn't know much about her. I had an excellent visit. The salon is modern, clean, and quiet. The receptionist was friendly and professional. Madison did everything just as I asked for her to. As I was going to someone for the first time, as well as going on vacation soon, it wasn't the time to try anything new. I was very happy that she did everything I wanted and there were no surprises (like, hey-where did this ill-placed layer come from?). She used Goldwell color, which I love. She also was very thorough in shampooing the color out and worked in some scalp massage so it was very relaxing. I will be coming back to Madison at Kontempo. read more

here's the full story on what happened: i called, said i wanted basic highlight foiling. came in and my lady was 30 mins late, and had another appointment after me that she couldn't and wouldn't push back. anyways, showed my hair dresser my ideal outcome. i even asked "is this possible". she said yes absolutely. nothing further was disclosed. not a "this will take longer" "i don't have to time to do this all today". so i'm listening to this trained professional tell me she can do it. before she begins on my hair, she goes "im going to spray this in your hair, it'll protect your hair from bleach" im like okay whatever she's just telling me what's she putting in my hair. she sprays my hair idk 10 times - come to find out at the end that it was a hair TReAtMeNt for $40. puh-lease. then she starts highlighting my hair and the technique is looking good, whatever. she leaves in the middle of highlighting my hair to help another employee cut someone's hair. I'm just sitting there waiting and she comes back and i think this is how my head ended up with two different colors cuz she came back and started working on the other side. then we are at the shampoo bowl and she mentions this concern "oh the highlighting is off" i'm like whatever she's being picky like it can't be that bad. she leaves me while shampooing to start on her other client too. then after i get washed, im just sitting in the chair waiting for my lady to do my hair while her assistant is washing another employees hair. not another client, another employee. then the assistant finally starts blowing drying my hair and that's when i start to see this. i'm so beyond upset i want to cry. i just ask the assistant to stop and i leave with SOAKING WET HAIR. as im checking out i see the total read "$290". i say i got the price offline and made sure i booked for the foil works priced at $150. they said the TrEaTmEnT i received was $40. and that this hair appointment changed from foils to custom color. CUSTOM COLOR!? i do not remember requesting my hair to be two different colors!?! so just a fun recap: 1.) lady was 30 mins late to start my appointment 2) lady sprayed a $40 treatment in my hair, never asked if i was okay with being charged that. 3.) lady then leaves me to help another employee cut her clients hair 4.) brings me to the shampoo bowl and brings up how my highlights look funky!!! 5.) leaves me at the shampoo bowl with her assistant to help her next 6.) the assistant leaves me to shampoo another employee!!! 7.) assistant starts drying my hair and i start crying that i just wanna pay 8.) total was $290 PLEASE SEE THE PHOTO yes, they took off some money, i was still charged $212. oh and yes the lady who messed up my hair offered to fix it..... why would i ever want you near my hair again. genuinely. read more

Kontempo - Foiled Highlighting - Hair Salons Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Kirby is a master. Very kind and considerate of what you want yet adding his expertise.

I saw this place when I eat at a burger place next to it. Decided to give it a try after reading the reviews on Yelp (which don't really help since it's bern awhile) and reviewing their website. The place is clean and neat with modern casual decor. They also implementing the new covid-19 social distancing rules which makes you feel safe during the service. I decided to go with Rae Ann for a haircut and coloring. It's pretty easy to set up an appointment (which you can do via their website or call the number). Our first appointment was just about what I'm looking for and the services I'll be needing. Rae Ann listens to all my concerns and gives inputs as well as recommendations when needed. She also explained the process that goes into my hair coloring as well as how to maintain it. I love the end result and the cost for both haircut & color (I go with balayage) is reasonable too. I recommend this place for anyone that is looking for great service and experienced stylists. read more

Best. Salon. Ever. No seriously, this is the best salon in Nebraska by FAR. Every single stylist is confident and knows what they're doing. They have a towel warmer too, best part of the shampoo. If you haven't tried Kontempo yet, you NEED to. read more

Kontempo is my favorite space to spend me time. A well appointed space, fabulous designers, a full array of Unite products, makeup artists and a professional lash artist. Also, hand-tied extensions! My haircut is "numero uno" for me. Kirby hits it out of the park! Always looking forward to my next appointment. Book with confidence read more

Told this is the best places in town. Unfortunately the owner is not taking new clients. I was scheduled with Patrick. I stated that I think I want to grow my bangs out.. he stated bangs are in! I agreed to a slight reshaping. Asked for highlights was told I should get low lights too. Came in with warm honey blonde hair - needed highlights. Left with grey/brown tone and very short bangs. I actually told him to stop cutting the bangs! Reluctantly one more clip.. My colleagues asked why I would go such an unflattering color and so short. My friends kindly ask if I like it? Of course not, it is green/gray. *Another salon in town is working on the color. It's going to be a process going back to blonde. I am devastated and very sad. Lesson - if you can't see the stylist you want don't assume everyone is held to the same standard. Don't expect a 19 year old who has been cutting hair two months to be trained to listen and care about your goal. The time for my hair to grow out and the cost to fix the color is substantial. Once again, sad and devastated. read more

Where do I begin? If your looking for not only the most professional environment but to walk out with hair you see on Pinterest, Kontempo exceeds expectations. I go to Kirby the owner of the Salon. Being in the beauty industry myself I seek to find the best of the best, and I'm so happy I've found it. I had never colored or really did anything to my hair before and when I met Kirby I knew I was finally comfortable with a stylist that I could trust to do my hair. He listens to all of my needs and everytime I leave there I feel so confident and beautiful. He is the mold of what a hair stylist should be. Extremely hard working individual whom I respect and am excited for what's to come for Kontempo in the future. Not only is Kirby amazing but the whole staff is awesome. The front desk is alway super nice and finds the perfect dates to book my appointments. The other stylists always will walk by and say words of encouragement and ask me how I'm doing. Truly a perfect atmosphere. Look no more for the perfect salon because Kontempo is where you'll get the best of the best. Thank you for making me feel beautiful read more

Best salon in Omaha. Highly recommend Patrick- he always does an amazing job and exceeds expectations!

Kontempo is a gorgeous, modern salon with top-notch stylists. I needed a new haircut and a new salon, so I finally tried Kontempo. My master stylist, Melody, did an amazing job with my haircut and styled it perfectly! She's super sweet and friendly. They go above and beyond with their customer service! They even called me to see if I liked my cut and if I had any questions. I also received a postcard from my stylist thanking me for coming in. They also offer happy hour blow outs and a complimentary blow out for your birthday. read more

I'm really glad the owner reach out to me about the issue I had, he was very nice and so was Patrick. Thanks for reaching out.

I had the pleasure of filming a bridal party get ready for the big day here. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I heard lots of positive comments and all the bridesmaids, and bride, were full of smiles. Thanks Ashely for being so helpful! read more

A chic saloon in the heart of Omaha. Easy to get too with plenty of parking. The minute you walk in you are greeted with a smile and pleasant conversation. The bold colors and the smell of freshly brewed coffee is also very welcoming. I always giggle at the artwork on the wall too, so creative! The products and service I receive is top notch. I have only ever walked away from Kontempo with a huge smile on my face. I love that they do happy hour blow outs and have the ability to try and keep you with the same stylist you normally work with. Highly recommend coming here for your hair needs. read more

Kontempo - Official seller of Unite products here in Omaha - Hair Salons Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

I am in love with this salon! I go to Kirby and he does AMAZING work! I live in Los Angeles and I have had my haircut in L.A., many times and it does not compare to Kontempo! (Today I got my haircut in Los Angeles and it made me miss Kontempo.. so I thought I'd right a review). I use to do hair so I'm very picky and I have absolutely nothing negative to say about Kontempo. Professional.. talented.. personable I can go on and on.. Kontempo should be or maybe it already is.. the top Salon in Omaha. Go to Kontempo you will not be disappointed! :) read more

The Kontempo. team is awesome! There are always smiling faces and a group of superb stylists ready to keep me looking sharp!

Kirby's new (now a year old) salon, Kontempo, is incredible! It's a beautiful space and the energy is just as fun and upbeat as his old place. Everyone I encountered working there was helpful and friendly. Of course I don't go for the ambience or service... I go for the amazing things Kirby can do with hair! He is truly an artist, and being a part of his creative process is a wonderful experience. I trust him completely with my hair and know I'll always leave more beautiful than I arrived! read more

I have been a Kontempo client for years and am always impressed by their incredible customer service, beautiful atmosphere, cutting edge technique and expertly trained staff! If you're looking for East/West Coast quality in Omaha, look no further! read more

I've been getting my hair cut by Kirby for a few years now. Huge fan of this salon. The vibe is extremely relaxing, and the service is unmatched. My favorite part though, is the complimentary scalp massage after the shampoo, followed by a warm towel on my scalp. This is all before the haircut even starts. From start to finish Kontempo adds several key complimentary services that set this place head and shoulders (no pun intended) above the rest. Tell Kirby that Danny sent you! read more

Best salon in Omaha! Friendly and a positive vibe. I don't ever have to say what I want and I always come out happy!

Kontempo is the most fantastic haircut experience I have ever had. Lindsay has been cutting my hair for about three years now and I honestly don't know what I would do without her. She really takes her time and makes sure that everything is 100% perfect each and every time I visit her. The shampoo and condition before AND after the haircut is wonderful. It is the absolute attention to detail that keeps me coming back! I recommend Lindsay and Kontempo to anyone who is looking for a fabulous salon experience! read more

After a week my hair color completely washed out and I realized it looked absolutely nothing like the photo I took in. Will not return...Next! read more

Best in Nebraska! I was fortunate to have a dear friend recommend Kirby. I live two hours out of Omaha and he is absolutely worth every minute of the trip. I moved to Nebraska almost a year ago from Miami and have been hunting for my perfect person to intrust my cut and color. He did an ombré perfectly! Even my boyfriend was impressed with the quality. After trying four different stylists, Kirby is it. While he is beyond talented, he is equally as kind and attentive to what I wanted. Thank you so very much! Looking forward to my next appointment. read more

Came across Kirby via social media, set up an appointment on a whim, and have not regretted it since. I've always gotten my hair cut at a franchise and after my first cut at Kontempo, there's honestly no comparison. Kirby was instrumental in creating Pat 2.0 and constructing a new hair style that's gotten lots of compliments. Gotta mention Kristen as well since she's helped work on my hair a few times and is just as awesome. read more

There is a reason that I've been a part of the Kontempo family for so long. It's such a pampering experience! Every time I come in, I feel like I'm stepping into a posh high end salon thanks to the decor, products that are used, and the stylists. The atmosphere is very friendly and the staff really pays special attention to their clients. read more

Friendly and good customer service. I only used their services once (so far) and I really like my haircut.

I love Kontempo. ALL of the staff are so awesome & friendly, they are all so talented & really care about what they're doing. I also had them for my wedding & they did an awesome job. I always leave here feeling amazing. Highly recommended for any services wedding & just as a regular client! I couldn't see myself going anywhere else because of how much they take care of you. read more

I was able to visit Kontempo hair salon this week. The salon is beautiful, modern, contemporary, and very inviting. When I walked in I was greeted by a very friendly receptionist!! My appointment was with Maria, for a color and cut. My hair wasn't the exact color that I wanted, and my hair was a bit of a mess. Maria listened to everything I had to say and came up with a beautiful and natural looking highlight color for my hair. She then cut my hair in a cute and modern cut, that fits my face perfectly!!! The massage chair and heated towels are such a nice bonus! The stylists are all very friendly and they all said hello to me. The owner, Kirby, came over to introduce himself, see how I was and chat for a few minutes. I left there loving my new hair! I would definitely recommend Kontempo to everyone I know. Ask for Maria, she is the best! Thanks for making me feel special!!!!! read more

Kontempo is a refreshing find to get my hairs did. But no seriously.. this place is a breathe of fresh air as soon as you walk in. The waiting area is spacious and comfortable and you will be greeted by a pleasant, smiling, attractive person. The salon behind the waiting room is maze-like but not in a negative sense. Every inch of the place is used extremely well while maintaining a high level of comfortability. A lot of salons go for the chic, modern approach in terms of decor. However, most fail horribly and make it obvious they shopped exclusively at Gordmans or TJ Max. I should also note that while the salon as well as staff is eye candy, there is not a drop of pretentious attitude to be found. This is also a welcome nuance I am unfamiliar with in most salons I have frequented. My stylist was Aynsley and she was excellent. She could tell exactly what I was going for without an in depth explanation... which put my nerves at ease. With my wavy Italian hair I have had a lot of hair stylists that would have been better off just shaving my head than accomplishing what I was hoping for. She did not wash, nor condition my hair immediately.. which I appreciated. I did not have a lot of product in (I try not to when going in for a hair cut) so water was just fine for the initial cut. It was after the cut was finished that the shampoo and conditioning happened which I was thankful for because I hate the feeling of having a million hairs all over me. Also, I have never been to a salon with massaging shampoo chairs. I did NOT want to get up. It was an awesome touch I have not seen in a salon. Also the large lamp in front of the chairs is trippy-cool and will keep your attention. Unless I am just a huge weirdo... Aynsley is an excellent conversationalist. A lot of stylist ask the same stock questions that become very boring, stale, forced and make me wish I had some kind of illegal substance to get me through the next 20-30 minutes of my life. This was not the case at all. Keep in mind I just moved here from New York City so this review is also based off of those experiences as well. I have gotten my hair cut all over Manhattan because I could not find a stylist that gave me what I wanted ( I am a picky b**** after all ). The best part of this salon is the amazing affordability. A salon with this level of service will easily cost you a BARE minimum of $60+ without tip in NYC and I payed a fraction of that price. I am putting Moderate in terms of Affordability just because I know women's services are always more expensive than men and I have no idea what the market is in the Midwest. However, personally I would put Inexpensive. I know we are in Omaha, but do yourself a favor and get a real salon experience. You will be back.. I know I will be. read more

I have been fortunate to be a customer at Kontempo Salon. Kirby is my colorist/stylist and he is very talented. Kontempo is truly an Omaha gem. When I first came to the salon over 2 years ago, due to health issues, my hair was damaged. The staff has worked with me on transforming to healthy, luxurious hair, with the right products and care. I look forward to the experience of going for multiple services at the salon. If Kirby is already booked the rest of the staff have been incredible at creating the right style for the occasion. I never hesitate to recommend the salon whenever the opportunity arises! Wendy C read more

I moved to Omaha in January of 2014 and struggled to find a salon I loved. When I finally came to Kontempo 2 years ago, I knew I had found the right place. Kristen is absolutely wonderful! I always leave feeling beautiful--and obsessed with my hair! Not to mention Kristen gives the best shampoos ever (you haven't lived until you've had a scalp massage like that!). read more

I went in to Kontempo to Amy Todd for a simple hair cut with light layers. I had pictures with me to make sure we were on the same page of what I wanted. She ended up chopping my hair up so terribly that, after consulting with two reputable hair stylists, I will have to wait at least 6 months before they can even begin to try and fix the mess Amy created. There is literally a three inch drop off between the sides and the back of my hair. I went into the appointment thinking Kontempo had a good reputation in the area. However, after having to consult with the other hair stylists about my chopped up hair, I learned that they in fact have a bad reputation among the Omaha cosmetology community. I paid a lot of money for her to ruin my hair for a long time to come. read more

By far the best hair salon in Omaha hands down!! Very swanky vibe inside with equally as colorful stylists. When you walk in it's hard to remember that you are in Nebraska and instead in L.A. The stylists pay attention to your requests and always nail the vision I had for each appointment. They also carry a great line of hair care products exclusive to their salon. I have noticed an awesome difference in the health in my hair. All in all, Kontmepo is a fabulous salon with very talented and always pleasant stylists and state of the art equipment to make their magic happen!! ***And a huge shout out to my stylist Amy!!! I have never been disappointed and adore coming every 7 weeks. read more

If you're looking for a place to get an exceptional cut and color in Omaha; than this is your place. As a native Southern Californian, I've tried and tested many high end salons, and I have to say Kontempo beats most of them. Kirby is truly gifted. The first time I came home from the salon, my husband (a true man's man) gushed about my hair for 3 days straight. The color was just fantastic, so much dimension! I'm very conscious when it comes to hair and beauty so I'm usually skeptical of any new place I try; but Kontempo impressed me through and through. Be prepared to feel amazing when you leave! read more
