I've had a lot of recommendations on place to get my haircut but I always left just feeling OK about it. I decided to check out the stylists at makeshift on the website and there was a couple of people that were available after 5 on a weekday. After reading Bobbie's profile I booked immediately. I have a feeling it'll be hard to book with her once the word gets out. She took my hair from a long bob to a fun, short modern cut. She's not afraid to try a new style and has what it takes to make it perfect. Oh. And the new space is really cool! read more

If you're searching for a salon that's anything but ordinary, Makeshift Union is the spot. From the moment you step inside, you're met with a vibe that's modern, edgy, and effortlessly cool. Think industrial-chic meets creative collective--where every stylist brings their own unique flair, and the atmosphere is buzzing with talent, style, and soul. At the heart of it all is Larry, the owner--a veteran stylist with over 20 years of experience and a reputation that precedes him. With his biker tough persona, he may seem a bit intimidating.... but within seconds of talking to him, you'll realize he's a knowledgeable, friendly, laidback kind of guy. He's not just running a salon--he's curating a space where stylists can thrive and clients feel like VIPs the second they walk through the door. I booked an appointment with Avery and that's exactly how I felt when I sat in her chair. I came in hoping for full highlights with that lived-in blonde vibe--and left with so much more. Avery started with a detailed, consultation and identified that what we needed to do first was actually a color correction, in order to obtain the lived-in blonde look I desired. Her expertise, attention to detail, and easygoing personality turned what could've been a long stressful process into a fun, transformative experience. The result? Absolutely flawless color and a new go-to salon that I genuinely can't wait to come back to! So if your hair is due for a change, but you're not sure where to go‍ Try Avery @ http://avesdoeshair.glossgenius.com/ Or any of the other stylist at Makeshift Union You won't regret it! read more

I cannot say enough amazing things about Owen at Makeshift Union Salon! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm, stylish, and inviting. Exactly what you want in a high-end salon. Owen is a true artist and master of his craft. ( and not hard on the eyes) He listened to exactly what I wanted, made expert recommendations, and then worked his magic. My blowout was absolutely flawless full of volume, bounce, and shine and it lasted a full FOUR DAYS! That's unheard of! Not only did my hair look stunning when I left the salon, but it continued to turn heads for days. Beyond his talent, Owen's professionalism and attention to detail set him apart. He made the experience feel luxurious and effortless, and I left feeling like a million bucks. If you're looking for a stylist who genuinely cares about your hair and makes you feel fabulous, Owen at Makeshift Union Salon is the one. I can't wait for my next appointment! Highly, highly recommend ! read more

You don't even need to read this review, just book your appointment with Nelly and I promise you, it'll be the best haircut you've ever had. Ok, now that we got that out of the way, I'll tell you about my experience(s.) We were in Vegas visiting family just before Christmas my I noticed my husband was looking a little grizzly. Looked for a good barbershop, found Makeshift Union in Yelp with a bunch of reviews so I made him an appointment (he can write his own review on that, I ain't his secretary!) When we got to the shop, I got a wild hair (zing!) up my arse and thought it would be dope to shock my family for Christmas and cut all my hair off, so the gal at the desk booked me in with Nelly. Nelly is dope AF, listened to me rambling on about my life, hopes and dreams...but most importantly, about how I wanted my hair. When Nelly was done, I knew they were going to be the only person cutting my hair for the foreseeable future despite the fact that I live over 500 miles away in California. I've already had my second cut with Nelly and will be back in May for a trim. Also, don't sleep on Larry's hair care products. The Buffalo Larry pomade is legit. I use it almost every day. read more

I started coming here after meeting the owner outside of their old location, and trusting his staff with my hair has been an amazing decision. My current stylist is Crystal, and she's taken amazing care of me. I gave her my trust, and she gave me a haircut that suits me so well I've gotten several compliments on it from everyone surrounding me-- friends, family, and strangers. She also made sure to walk me through everything she was doing, and what her plan with my cut was every step of the way. The staff there has been more than careful with my coconut allergy, and the owner also has his own great line of products in store. Love the owner, love the staff, love the atmosphere. read more

Simply the Best. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. Larry and his team are masters of their craft, consistently delivering top-notch quality service. No matter what you're looking for there's a professional on hand to make it happen. Quality and attention to detail are always the priority, and it shows in every haircut. HIGHLY recommend. read more

Love this space. Beautiful setting, people and cuts! Love Jenn B. and the Team. Professional, high talent at Makeshift Union. Thank you!

I live in the neighborhood and have been going to Makeshift for almost 4 years. My first experience was a walk in and I have nerved left. All stylists are professional and highly experienced. Although Jenn B. Has been my stylist since the beginning, on occasion when she has been out, she has setup appointments for me with other stylists like the amazing Bryson! The vibe is family and friends sitting around having a beer getting made pretty ! read more

Book with Naomi! Visited Vegas over the week and Yelp searched a salon to get some work done. Originally was scheduled with another stylist but was rescheduled with Naomi and we are beaming with gratitude!! Naomi made us feel like we were friends from the moment she approached us and introduced herself. I swear it's like we knew each other! So personable and very knowledgeable on her craft! She really knows hair and everything about it. I love that she gave me some consultation on my hair before starting on it. When she was done and I looked in the mirror, I swear I was given a new head of hair. It looked healthy, my curls never looked so full, the color was lush and shiny, omgee!!! She worked her magica and I came out looking and feeling like a million bucks!! She also worked on my daughter's hair and BOOM!! Transformation at its best! If ever in Vegas, Naomi at Makeshift is a must!! You're gonna want to thank me for this review when she's done with your hair needs! read more

Just had my third Men`s Cut from Jenn Bell. Excellent service styling as always, and always punctual and efficient in her work. The salon is pleasant, never noisy, and its easy to relax. And it feels cool. Furthermore there are a bunch of great eateries, bars, coffee shops and interesting retail nearby so walking around either before or after can be fun. Thoroughly recommend. read more

This salon is amazing!!! Such a welcoming, nonjudgmental place. Everyone is so nice here! I see Cielo for my color and she always does such an amazing job! She really cares about the health of the hair which I appreciate so much. Her creative color skills are out of this world If you are looking to explore fun colors, go see Cielo!! (I also found out on my last visit that she is a sensory specialist, so cool!) read more

Brittany Huntridge is a gem. I've been looking for a hair artist (one that has ideas and doesn't just go with the basics) and have had no luck in Las Vegas! She was awesome, listened to my confusing wants and said I got you. We went with something I never would have even thought of and I love love love it. Everyone that works there seems like they really enjoy their jobs and customers. I absolutey recommend this hip little shop with such a great vibe. Side note parking can be rough with the construction but I promise it's worth the hassle! read more

Nate is the best! Great addition to the shop, he does a fade like no other. Any guy looking for the cleanest cut should go to him.

Quality and professionalism from the top! Nothing but great compliments on my hair, service and experience! Super cool vibe. Excellent advice on products too! read more

Whomever came up with the design of this store, deserves recognition. The service is at the highest of levels. The shop is clean and inviting. The staff looks like they are all enjoying themselves, happy and professional. The gentleman with the beard has dreamy eyes and a sweet disposition. He may be the owner. I am not sure if I only go there for a great cut. read more

Finally a place with skilled people! We moved to Henderson in 2021 and I have been to FIVE different salons, feeling "meh" or "ok" with my cut, but not totally happy. I keep my hair short, in a textured bob, sometimes with an undercut, changing the style/length a little sometimes. Dee did exactly what I wanted and was super nice to work with. She kept checking in with me and asking my preference on things. If you have short hair and need a talented stylist, she is it! My wife had her hair cut (a short fade) by Nelly, and loves it. I like the atmosphere here too. It's laid back, in an awesome part of town. Highly recommend Makeshift Union. Well worth the cost-you get what you pay for! read more

My cousin is special needs and they made her experience amazing! They accidentally got her t shirt wet and immediately gave her a new t shirt on the house. It was her first experience in a "real" salon and I think she had an absolute blast! From the customer service to the actual service it was. 15/10 experience for the both of us and I was just watching! read more

I'm so grateful to have found such a great salon/barbershop where I could have my hair cut and styled to my exact description and also have products available that work with my hair texture and styling wishes. I've loved my last three cuts thx to two different stylists. Location is super convenient and they're surprisingly affordable considering the quality of their product, the skills of their stylists + friendliness, and don't even get me started on the ambiance! Chefs'-kiss-worthy take on "eccentric rustic industrial" and j'adore! read more

A 5 Star update for Ashlee. She does unbelievably beautiful makeup art at Makeshift Union where I get my hair cut. (Stephanie [aka Trippy Gingy], my genius stylist and now homegirl, referred me.) I wanted a fresh-faced look, with super dope wings and got exactly that. Ashlee's set-up was fantastic too. Ashlee is SO good, that my first time wearing false lashes was as if they weren't even on me at all. She custom fits the lash and hits right line applying them on the first shot. Her artistic expertise and luxurious spread really make a fun and special treat, having professional make-up application on a 'treat yo-self' afternoon. read more

On a whim I found the lovely Kyle Hickman at Makeshift Union. On my first visit I was simply coming in for a haircut. She did a fantastic job, so we chatted a bit about a color refresh (I had been using box dye for ages ). I told her how much I'd love something more sassy and with dimension. She went to work creating this masterpiece on my head! I have never experienced a color melt/balayage before, but it's truly like a artist painting on a canvas! She even showed me how to make these beautiful beach waves on my hair! She was amazing and I walked out feeling like a million bucks! On top of that, the entire team seems very happy to be there and to support each other. Bonus that it's in the very hip Arts District! I will be back for sure! read more

Just relocated from Los Angeles and I needed to find a shop immediately. I came across this unique space and had to do a little research before committing. Well! I'm glad I did! I scheduled an appointment with Keller and I was blown away with the result. Came in without having a cut or style all summer, fall and into the winter. Had no idea what I was going to do with my hair. After a brief chat with Keller on my past styles and daily routine she did her thing...I trusted her completely and WOW! What amazing work! I will only let Keller work on this hair from now on... Larry, the owner, welcomed my girlfriend and I as soon as we walked in! Both my girlfriend and him are from Michigan so that mid-west hospitality was definitely great to see. We chatted about the shop and the Arts District neighborhood. Really can't express enough how great this shop is. My girlfriend is definitely coming in for a color and style really soon! Thank you Larry read more

Awesome and a real good vibe! I've had been having a hard time finding a place to get a trendy decent haircut in Las Vegas. I needed an emergency cut and was forced to really search and make a pick, basically on the spot. Thanks to Yelp I lucked into Makeshift Union and funky eclectic establishment filed with extraordinarily talented personal. Parking is easy, the location convenient to the highway and backroads, the price point reasonable, the services outstanding. I've never looked back! Stephen handles my cuts and I highly recommend him! read more

Finally!" is the best way I can describe my experience with this salon. I had the pleasure of working with Vince, and it was the first time I actually felt satisfied with the result of a haircut--perhaps it was the complimentary beer. Later, I worked with Jen, who was patient enough to offer suggestions tailored to the summer heat and my lifestyle read more

After a long search for a great stylist who rocks a feminine yet funky short women's cut I have finally found my girl- Veronika! She spent extra time perfecting the details of my cut, and worked with me to produce exactly what I was looking for. Check out her Instagram for inspiration @shapesbyveronika and go see her, you will be very happy! Overall this salon has a fantastically hip vibe, the whole experience is really cool. Support local! read more

Seriously, I got the best haircut of my life, today, from Naomi. She listened to what I wanted and figured out things about my hair that I've learned over the years, but definitely haven't mastered. The shop is great, too, super nice people that very clearly have a lot of respect for each other. I found it on Yelp, and very much appreciated being able to easily make an appointment online. read more

I wish I could award more then 5 stars to this salon, because it really is that fantastic. The salon's décor is nostalgic but not in a stuffy or overdone way. I would describe it as old school Americana but with a fresh eclectic vibe. A fantastic collection of classic and contemporary rock plays in the background completing the overall vibe. This colorful, unique spot stands out in a sea of impersonal, white washed, cookie cutter salons. The talent at this salon is impressive as well. Personally I recommend Daniel Bacon. He gave me a killer blunt bob while I enjoyed a complimentary Miller High Life (the champagne of beers baby!). While in the chair I noticed an equal mix of men and women circulating through the other seats and loved seeing the other stylists in action as well. This place is filled with some serious talent. I highly recommend this spot and have made it my new go to as well. read more

I do not often write reviews though I use Yelp a lot, and found Makeshift Union and this Veronika via Yelp. There are simply not enough stars nor enough adjectives to describe how talented, kind, and amazing she is. Do you want hair that still looks incredible 4-5 weeks after your appointment? That you can do yourself at home without spending $$$$ on supplies? Do you want a stylist who really *really* listens to you? Do you want a stylist who is meticulous, focused and detail-oriented? Do you want to go to a salon that is a little boho/funky/odd/comfortable without crappy music and pretentious people? Do you want to sit in a salon chair that is incredibly comfy? And have a beer if you care to have one? If yes - do yourself a solid and come here. I have been to Veronika 3 times now for color and cut - I am in my mid 40s, have curly/frizzy/wavy hair on the reddish brown spectrum. I spend a LOT of time outside in the sun, for fun and for work - so keeping up with red is hard to do. It is a very long story about how I came to see her originally, a few months ago - but not only did she repair/restore my hair to a more professional, sleek look, she made me feel super comfortable. The color lasted so well! I went back, she did a nice trim and that is shaped nicely and looks great even if I hardly do anything to it. SO MANY COMPLIMENTS! Weird, right? Today I came in for my third visit - she makes me feel like I've been there forever, but in a good way. She offered a suggestion to brighten up the color, as it had faded after 6 weeks of my lifestyle - I readily agreed and trusted her intuition. I am so glad I did - it's a little different than before but is even better (which I didn't think was possible). I know this is long but honestly - words cannot express how amazing Veronika and Makeshift Union are! I can't wait to go back. (My selfies are terrible, trust me - it's better in person - but check her Insta page at @shapesbyveronika) read more

I went to a different salon, and I was very displeased with my results. My haircut looked nothing like the inspiration photos that I had shown my stylist, and the bleach blonde was very spotty in my hair. So, I reached out to Makeshift Union in hopes of finding a stylist to correct it. I had previously came here years ago, and I loved my experience then. Going back felt like going home. The receptionist paired me with the perfect stylist! If you need a color correction or just an amazing cut, in general, Veronika is your girl. I went from a choppy cut with spotted bleach and purple hair to a GORGEOUS pearl blonde look! Veronika really took the time to understand what I was looking for. She was very honest with the pricing up front, and she's worth every penny and more. I felt complete trust after speaking with her for just a few minutes, and I let her creative mind come up with a solution for my hair. We even had a blast chatting throughout the process!! I always say that finding the right hair stylist is like dating. I'm not a fan of chair-hopping. I like to find someone that I can trust, and my hairstyle is very important to me. I'm so so so happy that I came back to Makeshift Union. If anyone has had a bad experience elsewhere, or just wants to have a fun style, Veronika is 1000% your stylist!! I'll try to update with photos really soon!!! read more

Taxidermied animals, a product display table made out of a motorcycle, and a giant American flag give this spot a cool blue-collar aesthetic that reminds me of Austin, except without the asshole hipsters and BO. Use the Yelp address to find free 2 hour parking, then go around the building to find the entrance. Had I just walked by, I would have thought this masculine-industrial space was a barbershop, exclusively shearing the males of Vegas. My regular hair stylist, Tayler, recently moved here. She's the only one I trust with my tresses. The salon takes walk-ins and sells an interesting variety of products, from beard balms and various grooming goods for guys to a long line of EOS conditioners. Come here the next time your 'do needs some attention- Tayler is the boss of blondes, tell her I sent you. read more
