TL;DR: I came to this salon three separate times, spent over 9 hours total, and still did not…read morereceive the hair we all agreed on. I left in tears, and the owner told me to "come back when I was done being hormonal." I am postpartum with PPD and PPA, and this appointment was meant to be my first act of self-care for my 40th birthday. After three appointments and more than nine hours, I did not receive the hair color or haircut that was agreed upon, despite multiple correction attempts. I hadn't had my hair done in nearly a year. I was 2.5 months postpartum, breastfeeding, and turning 40, and decided to treat myself. I brought several reference photos for both color and cut. At every visit, the stylist -- and later the owner -- reviewed the photos and confirmed the goal was achievable. Day 1 (4.5 hours) I left with the opposite color (light, ashy highlights instead of warm/chocolate tones) and a cut that did not match the reference photos. Once home, I noticed the cut was crooked and choppy, with uneven, blunt face-framing pieces. A correction appointment was scheduled. Day 2 Another stylist reviewed my reference photos and again agreed the goal was achievable. Midway through the appointment, my stylist began rushing due to her next client. By the end, my hair was toned so dark that no highlights were visible, essentially returning me to my starting color. There was no time left to fix it, and I was told it would "wash out." I left with damp hair. Day 3 (with owner supervision) Because refunds are not offered, I returned for another correction. The owner reviewed my photos and again agreed on the goal, without raising concerns about red undertones or feasibility. My hair had to be toned three times, and at the end I was told the look was unachievable due to darkness and undertones -- information that was never communicated at the start of the service. The final haircut includes shorter, uneven layers that were not requested and are difficult to style. Most concerning While visibly upset and postpartum, I was told by the owner to "come back when I was done being hormonal." Although she said this was meant in a kind way, it was inappropriate and unprofessional. I arrived calm and clear at each appointment; the distress occurred only after the appointment extended far beyond the expected time and I became physically uncomfortable from breastfeeding. A discount and gift bag were offered, but the service ultimately failed to deliver what was promised, and the interaction crossed a professional boundary. I will not return and cannot recommend this salon.

Crimson Mist Hair Salon is a hair EXPERIENCE, not just another "cut and color." If you are looking…read morefor one of the top hair professionals in Idaho, this is the place. Shohreh owns and operates this very elegant home salon and makes you feel as though you are a member of her family the minute you walk through the door. This is the first time I have had a true color specialist really look at both my skin tone, along with my natural color hair, and tell me what the best color options are. I am a blond (but a natural brunette) and am so tired of getting that terrible gold/yellow look. I have been to salons in Paris, San Francisco (where I am from)...Los Angeles and New York. I have paid hundreds and hundreds of dollars for supposed high-end color jobs, and this is the first time someone has got my color right! It's beautiful, and truly compliments my skin tone (and no gold/yellow!). Shohreh took a tremendous amount of time first consulting with me, then carefully doing my color with the finest color products on the market (she uses Goldwell products, and if you're not familiar with that line, it is hands down the best on the market). She also really spent time analyzing the shape of my face to determine what the most flattering cut would be (I knew I wanted to go shorter, but that can be really scary if you go too short and you end up looking like a boy!). Shohreh determined a cut just below my chin would work best for my face and features, and she gave me a very modern cut you'd expect to only get at a top New York salon. Very hip and cool looking, just fantastic! I also determine a "great cut" by how well it behaves after my first wash and blow out at home. Does it fall into place and look fabulous with just "me" at the helm? The answer is absolutely YES! My hair looked fantastic straight out of the shower with a simple blow dry the next day....just gorgeous! And if all this isn't enough....Shohreh and her wonderful husband fed me the most amazing delights the entire time I was there. I thought I was in a gourmet deli! Her husband is from Turkey, and I was indulged with sweet treats and hors d'ouvres from his native homeland.... and delicious hot tea...and then some AMAZING wine from the Napa valley to boot! The entire experience felt more like I was having a delightful time visiting good friends, than having my hair done. We had a wonderful time; great conversation, wonderful eats and drink....and I walked out of the salon happy, pampered, and looking quite fabulous. I was talking to my sister in Connecticut today about my incredible "hair experience" at Crimson Mist....and she nearly fainted when I told her what I spent for all of that fabulous pampering. She said she would pay at least three to four times as much on the East Coast for the royal treatment I received. I have no doubt. But truly, I don't think you can put a price on the incredible graciousness, hospitality and phenomenal expertise you will find awaiting you at Crimson Mist. I recommend this to all of you "yelpers" here in Boise. I've hit most of the fancy downtown salons and stylists....trust me, they don't hold a candle to Shorheh. Do yourself a favor and book your next appointment here. You will have an incredible hair experience, and most definitely come out with the best color and cut you've probably ever had!

Ok. Where to begin. When I called to schedule the appointment the lady hung up on me twice because…read moreshe thought I was pranking her. I had to explain to her that I indeed have an out of state number. I then had to explain to her my job scenario and living situation and she was very rude to me from the start. I almost decided to forget it and call someone else. I needed extensions and only had a small window to get them done because I was only passing through town. She proceeded to tell me to come into a consult which would take an hour then we could schedule another time to get them installed a week or two later. I told her I had my own hair. She said shed put them in then. She said she had lots of experience doing micro bead. She continued to be very rude to me. But I ignored it due to my needs. The day comes to go into my appointment which she said she could do in one sitting over the phone when I scheduled it a month prior since I had my own hair. (Which she followed up a week before my appointment again to check if I was pranking her, at least that was her attitude toward me) I rolled in to the address she gave me and it was a house. I was surprised but okay so far. I went into her "salon" which was a small bedroom with a vanity. Barely room to walk around in it. The closet door was wide open and showing towels and low end styling products. I gave her my hair extensions and she wanted to know how I found them since I didnt have a license. I was surprised to see how little she knew about what's accessible and used in modern society. She made a big deal about it. She looked over my hair and said she still was only gonna do some of my hair that day even though the arrangements were different a month before that when I made the appointment. I told her I didnt have time to split my session because I was leaving the day after the next and had a bunch of other things to do. So she called her friend to see if she would come and help her and her friend declined. So I had to come in the next day. The micro bead she put in my hair (she only had around 50) were from the 80s or 90s. Very terrible quality. She crimped them into my hair with a resin to glue them in along with it. I went home akward looking. She also didnt have the tools so I had to bring my own that I picked up from Sally's and more micro beads and a crimper. When I got there the next day she had her friend there who was helping her out. She was a student, of what I dont know. But she didnt have a hairdresser license. She was teaching her how to put in extensions and I could tell the salon lady was winging it because I've had extensions before, and she was doing it very akward and the sections were not correct. For example, she put them.too close to my hair line and wasnt sectioning my hair in the right way.) She was charging me 50 dollars an hour for this. I told her how i wanted them in my hair so i could part my hair accordingly and she blantantly said, you've never had extensions before! I was speechless. While she was blending them into my head (she only put in half a head. 2 bundles) she said my hair was too thick and she lifted sections of my hair up and cut my hair at the base of my scalp! I was afraid of how it would grow back. Her friend looked frustrated and left shortly after. I then tried to tell her the difference between my hair the extensions was too drastic and I needed my extensions to be shorter to feel comfortable with the way it looked. She said it looked good and she said she didnt want to take off any length. So she kept thinking my normal hair. And straightening my hair to blend the extensions. (I have black 1b wavy hair and so was my extensions) I left there feeling really disappointed. I spent a hunch of money and supplied her with the tools to do my hair. Also a student was helping her. And I still was way over charged. The next 3 days, and I kid you not close to half of them had slipped out of my head. In gobs. The proceeding week they were pulling chunks of my hair out. I had to cut the extensions shoulder length (they were 20 inch virgin Remy human hair) because she only out in half my head and blended it terribly and they were falling out. So. No. This place lies about their experience. Way over charges. Its ghetto in a bad way. They're rude. She does your hair in a small bedroom and condescend you passive aggressively the whole time. She is the kind of lady that over charges her friends when she does their hair and that's her only demographic. The only reason she says shes does extensions is to get a market. I would never go there. It's terrible, terrible. *Also..I looked at her salon's before and after pictures and those pics aren't real. They're stolen pictures. There is no spot in her bedroom salon that is all white. Her and her husband live in that house and they're 55+. They dont have a white room to photograph before and after pics.
