I found Amara before moving to Iowa on Instagram by doing a hashtag search- I've been going to this…read moresalon for almost two years! Piper has been my stylist from the beginning- she is wonderful and everything you could want in a stylist- friendly, explains every service well, answers all my questions and great At conversation. I also love how collaborative this team is, if a stylist can't get you in they work really well with their team to get you in. They share formulas and it's truly collaborative at Amara. Complimentary beverages upon arrival. They discuss every service and price point before starting to make sure you are comfortable and they also work around your budget too. I've personally had my hair done by both Piper and Addison who are wonderful but the whole team is super friendly. I have also had my daughter's hair cut here by Piper and she is wonderful and patient with kids as well. This salon is also very beautiful and just did an expansion and remodel of their beautiful space to welcome more stylists to the team. Michelle the owner is wonderful and you can tell she really cares about her team!

Great vibes. Great haircuts. Would recommend anyone heading here if you live in Ames.read more

I'm so, so low maintenance about my hair it's honestly sort of embarrassing. So much so that I…read moredidn't think anyone could screw my hair up, but alas. I went to a girl named Hayley (Haleigh? Hayleigh? I'm not sure how it's spelled) at the north Ames location. I just wanted my hair trimmed and a lightened -- balayage, highlights, whatever -- I didn't really care. I always trust my stylist to do what makes the most sense. That's it. Trim the dead ends and make my hair blonder. She seemed confident so I totally trusted her. First, she left me sitting with bleach in my hair for 40 minutes while she LEFT to go eat her dinner. She came back, took my to the sink to shampoo/rinse and put a toner in my hair. She left me there for another 55 minutes (super uncomfortable sitting with your head in a sink for 55 minutes lol) while she left to GO TO THE CAFE ACROSS THE STREET. What? She went to go buy cheesecake with her coworkers. She came back, ate her cheesecake, then came back to me. She washed my hair, blow dried it, and it was awful. My hair was grey and purple. Then she trimmed it, and screwed up the trimming around my face so much I ended up looking like I had a mullet. A grey and purple mullet. Yes. Anywho, I was polite about it but said I was unhappy and surprised by the result. She offered to try and fix it the next day and I declined and just asked to not be charged. They declined my request, and charged me almost twice the amount it said I'd be charged on their website ($113 on their website, and they charged $197). I went to Leedz Salon the next day and they fixed it. They're wizards. Please just go to Leedz instead and stay far away from this place.

She is out of line and unprofessional and she should be turned into the beautician board and lose her licence. We all have opinions on things and her rant to me on the phone was inappropriate... she is mailing my money back to me but now I'm left with chopped hair, she said and good luck with your hair.. what a horrible thing to say to a customer. I would not go to this facility if you have a chance, they will mess up your hair if they don't like what you talk about or discuss in the shop... I'm livid!1
