The place was clean and you can tell she takes care of her equipments, and gives a lot of importance to hygiene and sterility of supplies which should be expected. My skin was not that sensitive or feels raw after the session. With her applying fresh aloe vera helped with this a lot. I will surely comeback and refer her to other.

The spa called my wife 4 days prior to the scheduled massages and informed her that they had made a scheduling error and our massages were canceled.

Never had the opportunity to try this spa and never will if this is how they handle errors on their own behalf.

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 will say I wasn't expecting a residential area when I mapped to her location, however was more than surprised how she had her home set up to accommodate her clients! I was pleasantly welcomed into her home and could tell right away that THIS was going to be wonderful! Jenny spent time telling me about the products she was using and did use during my service, I felt relaxed, comfortable and very glad that I decided to make this appointment. I had talked to Jenny about my previous hair situation (I had extensions and had no business having them), and she helped me understand what damage was done to my hair, the positives in the condition of my hair and how to get it where I wanted it to be again. She talked about all her trainings and her equipment that she uses for not only hair but facials, etc and I could tell that she genuinely loves alll things salon and spa! I left feeling beautiful, with nowhere to go! I will be booking more services and can't wait to see my hair in a year with Jenny helping me I KNOW it will be beautiful! Thank you for all you do, Jenny!

Kodi was my stylist, and she checked in with me throughout to make sure we were on the same page, which I really appreciated. She created a safe and comfortable space where, if there was something I had a question about or wanted advice on, I had no fear of judgment or that she would not listen to me. The salon is bright and beautiful inside and everyone working was so kind and inviting. I will absolutely be returning in a few months for a refresh, and I have recommended to my roommates to go to Kodi for any of their hair needs!
