I recently got my hair done by Kiniya here and she changed my life with 24 inch extensions. She is so personable and made it a really comfortable experience, as well as having a ton of knowledge to answer any questions I had. My appointment was scheduled easily and my stylist was well prepared with everything ready for me. They offer water or other beverages, and overall have a really great homey vibe in the salon. After going here about 4 times now I can officially say I will never go anywhere else. They have good reasonable pricing, knowledgeable stylists, and a great environment. Would recommend this salon to anyone whether you're looking for a simple haircut or the whole 9 yards!

If you're looking for an experienced and talented stylist working in a well managed and welcoming…read moresalon then here you go! Jen McKeithen is that stylist and she recently joined The Studio Salon in Eagle. THE STYLIST: Jen arrives from Salt Lake City where she had fifteen years of experience as stylist at an Aveda salon - with all the great training Aveda provides. I imagine Jen's former clients in Salt Lake must really be missing her - and their Facebook posts say that is true - because Jen just cut and colored my hair for the first time and both services were simply top notch. My hair is fine - and I have found that unlike fine wine, fine hair does not improve with age - and challenging to cut. I have tried a number of different stylists in the six years I've lived in the Boise area and Jen provided not only the best cut to fit my hair that I've had here but among the best cuts I've had in a dozen years. (And I say that from the perch that my long term stylist in my previous city was crackerjack good.) Jen's advice on color was expert too - and yes hiding gray is part of my needs and wants list at this age - and I'm equally as delighted with that part of her work to improve on what was not looking good previous color work done elsewhere. I'm thinking Jen could work with anyone's hair to do just about anything they needed done. And to make this even better, this talented young woman has a delightful personality so spending some time in her chair is fun for that reason too. I walked in feeling bedraggled and sad. I walked out feeling like a 'zippety-doo-dah' new and happy woman. Because Jen is relatively new to the area, she is accepting new clients. Lucky all of us who find her now! CONTACT INFO: You can reach Jen directly at this number: 801-403-3834. Or through The Studio Salon at 208-938-0302. THE SALON: Warm and welcoming for men and women of all ages - children too - done in an understated, casual-chic, black and white interior styling, the bright and clean space is well managed by owner Emmy Woodke who is also a stylist and so often on premises. And it may be that the only person who wants the client to be happy as much as the stylists doing their work at The Studio is Emmy who is takes to heart her business. This is an completely unintimidating environment for we...ummm...well...more well aged clients who still want to be treated as if we matter for wanting to look our best...and also I'd think it is as welcoming to the young'un set who want the latest in techniques and quality products used. LOCATION: At the intersection of Eagle and Chinden - look for the now for lease former Walgreens pharmacy on the corner as identifier - in the little strip mall that is also home to The Nest interiors. PARKING: Lots of it in private lot. Some accessible (aka ADA) parking. ACCESSIBILITY: Level in the door of the salon and all on one floor. More than ample clear floor space for path of travel from stylist's chairs to shampoo area. Accessible loo too. One would assume 30 years into the ADA being law all salons would do as good a job of getting it right as does Studio. But, alas, as woman with mobility limits from having MS since I was 20 (ye gads...a long time) I can sadly report few salons get it right as Studio does. Good for Emmy!

I have seen DeAnn Holexa at Visual Effects twice now and she does a fantastic job. She has been a…read moremassage therapist here since 2007 and her experience really shows. She focuses on the areas that need the most work and I left feeling relaxed and refreshed both times. The massage room is wonderful with great music, soothing scents, and soft low lighting that immediately puts you at ease. She even has a special pillow for extra chest support, which makes the massage especially comfortable for those of us who need it. It's such a thoughtful touch. The prices are very reasonable. I believe it was about $75 for an hour massage, but I had a gift certificate, so don't quote me on that exact price. The salon itself is very modern and clean. It is tucked away behind some fast food restaurants, so you might not even realize it is there, but once you do, you will be glad you found it. In addition to massage, they offer a wide variety of services like hair, lash extensions, nails, brow tattoo, waxing, and more. If you are looking for an excellent massage in the Boise or Garden City area, I highly recommend booking with DeAnn.

I recently relocated to the Meridian area and needed to find a new salon. After scouring through…read moreYelp reviews, I came across A Beautiful Reaction. I was pleasantly surprised to find a salon here that uses non toxic products. What really convinced me to try A Beautiful Reaction was when I saw that the colorists and stylists received on-going education. I believe it's always important to improve one's skills. I also liked the mission statement on the website which says "We want to set ourselves apart by what we call the "BRe Experience." That means from educating our clients about the chemistry in our consultations, customized appointments built around your desires and budget, to the scalp massage at the bowl, and personalized follow up from our guest relations department guaranteeing our work." So I had high hopes going into my appt. Rather than going into detail for the sake of keeping this review on point, let's just say that I walked out of the salon with an experience that left a lot to be desired. I wrote to the owner Kelsey and expressed my dissatisfaction with the services provided and not only did she offer to make things right, but she offered to fix my hair herself. It really says a lot about a business when the owner is not only open to criticism but accepts responsibility. What a night and day experience I had this time. I was given five star service treatment from the offer of complimentary beverages to the warm towel and scalp massage at the sink. I am extremely pleased with the results. I definitely believe in second chances and I am looking forward to my next appointment.

The day I went for an appointment half the metered parking in front of their establishment was "No Parking" mandated by the city. Instead of working with a client of many years, they insisted "15 minutes" or the appointment is cancelled and you are charged. This is so inhuman. They are based out of another state and are unwilling to accommodate clients when there are exigent circumstances, like the city taking parking away, making it even more difficult to park. I'm done struggling to find parking and being met with a lack of compassion or flexibility. It's not worth it. If you're okay with inflexible rules, lack of compassion and a refusal to respect you as an years-long client, this is your place.
