    Salon Cora - New salon receptionist area
    Todd G.

    Let me start by saying ... Salon Cora is the best salon the area. I have been to the Salon Cora multiple time but just visited the new location since they moved from Prairie Grove. It's much bigger and just as nice as their previous salon. I have longer curly hair and if not cut right It has to get cut right or looks really bad. Denise took care of me today getting a haircut and a little touchup on my (ahem... grayish lol) hair or two coming in. Yes I'm a guy... but guys can be picky too and been to Mario and many other salons and barbershops around which have let me down and in other cases been way overpriced. The Salon Cora team is amazing and would highly recommend coming here to treat yourself. I just like their personal touch and they have consistently done an excellent job cutting my hair. Better yet their pricing is fair and use good product. Next time your wondering where to go ... give Salon Cora a try ...I'm certain you will be happy you came here.

    I love coming to this salon. Everyone is super friendly. The place is clean and comfortable. My stylist Kayla does a phenomenal job with my hair every single time. I've had my nails done and my eyebrows waxed here as well. They offer a variety of services. Overall great place.

    My go-to stylist unexpectedly cancelled my appointment five days before my wedding. Salon Cora was able to squeeze me in with Ashlee the day before my wedding. Maybe I'm emotional because I just got married, but Ashlee did such an amazing job that I literally cried. She was so professional and kind, she shared in my excitement for my big day, and she put so much extra time and care into my hair to make sure everything was perfect. She even cleaned my skin several times to make sure there was no dye on my face and neck. Despite never working with me before, she listened to what I wanted and it came out perfectly. She is so talented and has a lifelong client in me. I highly recommend her!

    This is my hair after I went there. Completely orange and ugly.

    I asked for a trim repeatedly to keep my hair long and they still gave me a HAIR CUT. Manager didn't believe me when I said I got what I did not ask for. They cut my hair way to short. This isn't the first time this has happened either. Really just not good listeners there.On top of that I went here a few months ago, they made my hair completely ORANGE. It's totally bizarre. I got no refunds for both of my appointments. I will be calling tomorrow and hopefully can get a refund on my HAIR CUT after I asked for a TRIM. I wouldn't even recommend this salon to my worst enemy. I do not recommend.

    Partial highlight on previously lightened hair, about 2 hour total time.

    The spa pedicure with Sam B. Was amazing today! I was able to book online for the same day, and she…read moreeven got me in a tad early. First of all this pedicure is truly a spa experience. It is in a quiet room with one other pedicure chair, with low lighting, soft music playing, and fresh smelling aromatherapy. I'm not a huge fan of scents but they used real essential oils (not fragrance), and they were so calming and pleasant. The pedicure starts with a brief foot soak in a warm and relaxing seat. Once you soak for a few minutes they give you a blanket, a warm neck wrap, and recline the chair to zero gravity, and give you an eye cover. I genuinely fell asleep as soon as she started to massage my feet. The experience was 10/10, and I will definitely be recommending this place to everyone! Thanks Sam for an amazing pedicure.

    OMG I love this place. Everyone I have dealt with is professional and warm. Jessica does amazing…read morework. I came here for a couples massage with my 14 year old. She really wanted a massage but was nervous- so I figured being in the same room would help. She has Jessica who was so sweet and explained everything to her. I don't recall the name of the lovely person who worked on me, but she was sublime! I swear at one point I thought she had extra hands.. haha. Both of our massages were top notch. I've had a lot of massages in a lot of fancy places, but this massage was probably the best one I've ever had. I came back for a hydra facial and saw Jessica, again. She did such an amazing job, I ended up getting a massage package deal. I feel like that one facial did wonders. I don't plan ever going anywhere else.

    What was supposed to be a relaxing manicure turned into a very frustrating and disappointing…read moreexperience. The technician who initially worked on my nails had to redo them multiple times after the manager pointed out that he wasn't properly filing them after removing my dip polish. Even after several attempts, my nails still looked uneven and poorly done. During the process, he repeatedly bumped into my nails, smudging the polish again--I'm not sure if it was nerves, but it made the situation worse. Eventually, a second technician had to step in and redo all of the work from the beginning. By this point, I had been sitting there for so long that my back was hurting, and I no longer had the patience to go through yet another redo. The final result still looked far from acceptable, especially after multiple attempts. At one point, I was told the polish "wouldn't dry" and was asked to pick a different color, yet after shaking the bottle, they continued using it anyway. Overall, the quality was extremely disappointing. This service is not cheap, and I expect a certain level of professionalism and quality. Despite everything, I still tipped the first technician, but I left feeling embarrassed and upset about how my nails looked. When I returned to request a refund, I was told they could redo the polish again. At that point, I had already sat through multiple attempts and did not want to go through the same experience again. My request for a refund was denied, which made the situation even more disappointing. Overall, this was a very poor experience with both service quality and customer care.

    I was greeted at the door and my tech was friendly but seemed more interested in another client…read moresitting next to me. She appeared to be a regular. Even though our techs started at the same time, my pedi was completely done before her nails were started. So I guess it was time efficient? Maybe my feet were in better shape? I don't know. Immediately after she finished my nails, my tech left. She eventually started on that same clients manicure and never returned. I was left wondering how long I was supposed to wait before putting my shoes on. I usually do my own nails but I treat myself from time to time. It wasn't much of a treat. I had a difficult time tolerating the chemical smell that permeated the room but perhaps that is to be expected. The pedi was very basic, little and inconsistent amount of time spent on the exfoliation and "massage" from left to right foot but the nails turned out ok. The salon could benefit from daily upkeep after a good cleaning. It doesn't give you a warm fuzzy feeling. Looks a little worn for the wear. I kind of felt like I needed to wash my hands when I got home. I was also under the impression that the price on Yelp was accurate but I paid $7 more than expected for the service. If I had known the price, I would have gone somewhere else. They didn't honor the price I saw. That caused me to drop another star.
