I recently moved to Iowa City after some time in LA, and was nervous about finding someone to do my…read morehair after not having it done in almost 9 months due to pandemic. Someone recommended Haba to me, and I am so happy I took their advice! Anne cut & colored my hair exactly how I'd envisioned. I haven't seen my natural hair color in almost a decade, and she gave me the perfect color treatment to clean it up. The price was also about what I expected with no surprises, as I was paying almost double in LA and NYC for similar treatment, Anne was so personable and professional - and her and the staff even gave me recommendations of things to do in Iowa City! Excited to finally have a stylist I can go back to and tell other people about!

Both Tim Caster and Allie Meyer are excellent. I have been to both for long hair cut and color. My…read morehusband and teenage kids (boy and girl) have also had cuts done by them. They both take time and do not rush through their work. The quality of the stylists is outstanding and the atmosphere is very positive and lively with good music. This is important if you require a 3 hour appointment as I do. Tim and Allie are both very receptive to ideas and positively encouraging change. When my daughter wanted a pixie cut and 2 stylists at our previous salon wouldn't do it and tried to talk her out of it, we decided to try Buzz. Tim was so excited to work through this style change with her and it made her very confident about this choice. The prices are a bit higher than some other local salons, but I will not go anywhere else. You get what you pay for - both in the services and the beautiful, wonderful experience.

I got bohemian braids that were waist length and the service she provided was quick, painless and clean and exactly what I was looking for.

I have never had my hair braided to this degree and I plan to come here from an hour away to get my hair done every single time. 10/10 experience, recommend to everyone looking for a professional, and amazing braider in the iowa city area!

It'd been a loooong time since my last haircut. In my extensive search to find the best place to…read moreget my locks trimmed in Iowa City, I stumbled upon Nova Salon. I didn't have a specific stylist in mind, so I was matched up with Irina. I believe I called on a Wednesday and was able to get an appointment for a few days later. I was Irina's last appointment on a Saturday afternoon, but you never would have known. She was very friendly, listened to what I had to say, and gave lots of great advice. I left with the exact haircut I asked for. Have I been able to style it the way Irina did? Heck no. That requires talent I simply don't have. Irina taught me a lot about my hair - what to do with the random grays that make an appearance, the type of hair I have, etc. Seriously, what she taught me was totally worth the price paid; aside from the actual haircut itself. The salon is super clean and inviting. Lots of natural light, especially at Irina's station because of where she's located. They do sell hair products including Amika (which I personally like). I had no idea how much it was going to cost (around $75 with tip) for a women's cut, as prices aren't posted online. I suppose I could have asked when I scheduled my appointment, but it didn't really matter to me. I'm someone who gets her haircut 1x per year. Recommend. I'll definitely make a return visit.

I got lucky and found my new stylist the first try! Kara was super friendly and gave me a great cut and color. I felt super cute again leaving the salon with my covid length cut off! I explained I'm a low maintenance mom of five, so I don't have time for lots of blow drying and flat ironing these days, and Kara listened and gave me a cut that works with my lifestyle. After a week, my hair looks great, even with my low key styling. The salon is clean and trendy, and scheduling was straightforward. I would highly recommend it!
