    The terrible before!
    Jana G.

    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!

    Can you tell I'm happy with my cut? Cut by Nelly.

    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.

    Cool vibes

    Came here with the wifey to get her hair cut. Really cool vibe and hoppin' for a Saturday morning. I decided to join in the fun and got a quick cut myself. Mel kindly took me in as a walk in and did a quick shag cut for me. Styled WAY cute..cuter than I have ever had! Great staff! We will be back

    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!

    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!

    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!)

    Cassidy enjoying her haircut!

    How much are your cuts for men?

    Haircuts start at $45 and go up from there, depending on which stylist you book with.

    Do you have walk-ins?

    We sure do. We open at 9am tomorrow. Just a heads up, walk ins are a first-come first-served basis and will be put with the next available stylist. We hope to see you!

    For several years, I was a loyal customer of a well-known waxing franchise with locations all over…read morethe Las Vegas Valley. But as I've been making a conscious effort to support more local and smaller businesses, I decided it was time to branch out for my monthly waxes, which is what brought me to the Pretty Kitty. Booking online was painless; very quick and easy. And I appreciated receiving a reminder text along as well. I was also texted a couple follow-up questions about my new client forms, which I was able to easily answer quickly. The salon itself is absolutely adorable. It's beautifully decorated with a fun, sleek, and welcoming vibe that made me feel comfortable. My wax specialist, Alexis, was phenomenal. I had my nostrils and a Brazilian wax done, and she was incredibly attentive, gentle, and professional. Honestly, it was probably the least painful Brazilian I've had in over 20 years of getting waxed! She also took the time to tweeze a few stubborn stragglers, a detail that not every esthetician bothers with, and I really appreciated the extra care. From the easy scheduling to the outstanding service, and reasonable pricing, this experience exceeded my expectations. I'll be going here from now on!!! ps. New customers also get a first-time discount

    these prices are ridiculous. you can find cheaper places that will give you the same or better…read moreservice. 65$ + tip for a Brazilian wax that will take 15-20 minutes to do is the most diabolical thing i've ever seen. save your money.
