Skyline Downtown Salon

I am happy I found this place so hip and next to my fav bar so I can plan Saturday evening Lindsay colored and cut my hair I feel like a mermaid after this she had a lot of knowledge about the health of my hair I love that they offered wine and nice music I don’t want to wash my hair now for sure I recommend this salon

I’ve been here twice now to see Lindsay Wolf for a haircut, and have had a great experience both times. I found it easy to schedule an appointment, and the front desk staff was friendly and welcoming. The salon is pretty cool (it’s named Skyline for a reason), and I never felt intimidated by the ambiance like I have in other salons in the past.
Lindsay is very friendly and professional, and definitely knows what she is doing! Both times I have immediately loved my new haircut, and Lindsay also knows how to cut hair so it looks good as it grows out a little, so there’s no week 3 «Oh my gosh, what happened?» regret. I also find the price to be reasonable for the quality of service.
I am happy to have found such a great salon in my new home city and plan to make this my regular place.

I hate to leave a poor review because I delibrately chose this salon due to its amazing Unilocal reviews. Back in November I dyed my hair for the first time in my life at age 25. I have dark brown hair and had a light Balayage with Abby. It was okay. Not really what I wanted and I thought that was due to my hesitation. Two weeks ago, I went back to get a little more done. I verbally and visually expressed what I was looking for-​natural on the top, feathered in dark reddish brown then feathered into a caramel near my tips. I was even excited throughout the whole process. Then Abby dried my hair. I wasn’t mad so much as shocked. Most my hair was blonde with vibrant red/​fuscia streaks. What irritated me the most was Abby’s defensive reaction to my shock. She told me I didnt explain what I wanted well enough and that I needed to have better pictures because my pictures had light hair and I have dark hair… uh why would I have examples of people with light hair? I thought I might adjust and it would grow on me, but I immediately called when I got home to set up a follow up appointment. The receptionist assured me that my next appointment would be free since it had been within a week. I have never been the «I want to speak to your manager» type, but thats how annoyed I was going to get if I had to pay to fix this. Well the next day she called to correct herself and that if I needed any reprocessing, I would have to pay and she wanted to set up a consultation so Abby and I would be on the same page. So I went in and we talked about it and she put toner in my hair for 10 minutes on the spot which I appreciated. Given limited amount of time and such, I left with wet hair and by the time I had dried it, it looked basically like my natural hair color which at that point, I was just relieved. However, my hair had been curled this whole time since she styled it the first time. I hadn’t noticed how long my bangs were so I unfortunately went back for a trim which I felt really guilty about (but I had a new job in two weeks I wanted to look nice for). So I get there the next day and I’m greeted by Abby with «What is it this time?» How rude. I then apologized for coming in so much, and that if it wasnt for my new position, I probably would have fixed the bangs myself which was followed by silence from Abby. I then said I hadn’t noticed the length of my bangs until my hair was straight which was again met with silence. I felt so much tension. AND its not like I didnt leave generous tips each time I was there which ended up amounting to a massive waste of time. I will see if I can add pictures for anyone interested, but I was just completely turned off by my whole experience. I’m sure the place is great, but my experience was hardly desirable to put it lightly. Basically I paid over $ 200 to go back to my natural hair and felt as though I was nuisance instead of met with kindness.

Up until today Ive had a good experience. I have been seeing Lindsay. Side note: They require a credit card on file the first time you come. So I schedule an appointment for last Thursday and couldn’t make it, I call to reschedule– the guy says she can probably squeeze me in Saturday at 11 while she’s processing someone else. I then get a voice mail saying there was a scheduling error and that they wanted me to come in at 9:30. I wake up Saturday morning and hear this voicemail (no where in the voicemail does she say ‘if you can’t do 9:30 we will still expect you at 11) so I just assume I don’t have an appointment anymore because I can’t come at 9:30 and I will call later to reschedule. I understand PART of it is my fault for not calling immediately and saying that wouldn’t work. But Holly’s voicemail led me to believe I no longer had an appointment. So I get a call at 11 saying I’m a no call no show and that they are going to charge my card for not showing up. If I felt I had an appointment I would have came. There was definitely miss communication and I’m a little upset that they won’t admit some of the mix up was on their part. I’ve been a good customer, always tipped, I buy their hair products (Oribe) and they can’t say ‘Oh well, it was just a mix up’. Pretty disappointed.

Ashley is amazing! I’ve had a previous balayage before and could never get the exact hairstyle I was wanting, so this was my first time at Skyline and it beyond exceeded my expectations! I showed Ashley a previous photo of my hair and told her what I didn’t like and what I was hoping for; I wanted my hair looks more natural, because I’ve been using omgnb hair extensions. Ashley understood immediately. She was meticulous with the process and knew exactly what style would compliment my skintone and face. Also, I have to say this was the first blowout in my life that I LOVED, and it lasted for a few days! I felt like I walked out of a hair commercial, it looks SO GOOD!

I don’t like then to excuses, there’s a reason why they can never do anything. Bad Service!!! Starting from receptionist, to Hairstlyes and to owner looking unhealthy.
She Said she owns hair business. Presentation Real bad. Her hair is not even done. Excuse me! Excuse me! You tell me all the excuses and the blond Ower she said owner of the, business don’t even have her hair done. Once again they need to learn to run customers Service. Special to the lady who said owner have Little bit education. When he comes a presentation, customer service. It called have a little self education.
Thanks you !!

After several months of going to Skyline, I remain very happy with my stylist (Debra) but I might never go back because of the receptionist service. Whenever I call for an appointment, the receptionist either says they have no appointments and to call later (what), or that she will call back to confirm my time. She never calls back. If I call back the same day or a few days later, they will have no record that I had a pending appt. If I show up at the time she’s «confirmed» they act like it’s a surprise that I’m there.
If I could just schedule directly with Debra, I’d be a lifelong fan. But I can’t handle the aloof scheduling process, especially when it costs $ 65 for a haircut.

Always satisfied! I used to go to Nick for my cut and color but then he moved :(I started going to Caitlyn who trained under Nick and she is just as amazing. Go to Caitlyn you won’t be disappointed!

After searching (for many years) I finally found my go-​to place to get anything done to my hair. Easy to make an appointment, they serve wine (yes, this was a huge plus to me), movie theater while you wash your hair, and they actually listen and give their opinion with what you want to do. I will be going here for now on and am incredibly impressed with the entire experience

I received a gift card for this salon and was very excited to get an ombré hair color. When I entered the salon I was very impressed by the style of the décor and the friendliness of both women working the front desk. Both were quick to inquire if I needed anything and one even offered to refill my water bottle with ice since I had walked from my office several blocks away on a very warm afternoon. However that is where my good service stopped.
The stylist that ended up doing my hair was the least personable stylist I have ever been a client to. Early on she admitted that she isn’t talkative when she works because she’s concentrating, which I completely understand as I am that way myself, however even when not actively working on my hair she barely said ten words to me the entire two hours I was there. In addition, she was very rough with my head and hair to the point where it was actually painful (and I’m not tender headed). When putting the toner in my hair she again said very little and left me with my head in the shampoo bowl for 15 minutes without anything to protect my neck from the rather sharp edges of the bowl and without checking if the water temperature was okay for me when she came back to rinse me.
She did an excellent job of styling my hair once dry, which I did like and try to recreate at home. My hair looked great when I left so I let the otherwise disappointing service go. Until I got home and had to style my hair myself. As the days passed and I got a better look at my hair I noticed the tone was all wrong and left a very clear line between the dyed pieces and my natural color. Additionally the dyed pieces were mostly concentrated at the front leaving one or two stripes visible in the back. It was not blended or what I had asked for or shown her at all. As even more days passed I noticed patchy streaks throughout my hair. I ended up returning to my regular salon yesterday, less than a month after my service at Skyline, to have my hair toned again and to have the patchy pieces fixed.

Love love LOVE this place! I just moved from California to Kansas City a week ago and I was looking for a new salon that could become my regular place to go here. I spent hours on Unilocal looking for the «best hair salon in KC». I believe I have found it!
The location and environment are perfect. Amazing views of the city and really cute and unique interior design of the space. I even got to watch Beetle Juice projected onto a wall while I got my hair shampooed! Can’t beat that!
I have had long hair for about 5 years. Like down to my butt long! I decided it was time for a change and I wanted to go short. I was nervous of course but as soon as I stepped into the salon I felt at ease. I knew I would be in good hands with Ashley. She was patient with me talking about exactly what I wanted and she took her time with the cut making sure I was happy with it every step of the way. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The end result was EXACTLY what I had envisioned in my mind of what I wanted it to look like! So perfect!
I will definitely be coming back here from now on and I recommend it to anyone in the area. Prepare to be wowed! I’ve already gotten multiple compliments on my hair cut since leaving less than an hour ago. Beautiful location, friendly and skilled staff, who could ask for anything more!

had an appointment with Caitlin, who was super sweet. the salon itself is beautiful, and even though it was cloudy the day I went, the view was just as breathtaking. Caitlin and I had a brief consultation in the chair before she took me to wash my hair. typically I show pictures (which I had mine ready, trust me) but something about Caitlin made me believe she understood what I wanted based off my description. and boy was I right! my hair turned out absolutely amazing and is exactly what I wanted. Caitlin was very open to explaining the steps of styling my hair myself at home which was awesome. definitely think I found my new salon & stylist in KC!

I have to give this place some stars back, after my stylist left they sent me a notification along with a letter to receive half off future services. That was forthcoming and nice to try to retain my business.

I called and was able to make a walk-​in appointment with Ashley. I usually only cut my hair once a year, so Im always somewhat nervous to try out a new salon. As soon as I walked in I was offered a beverage (or course I chose red wine), and the receptionist kindly showed me to my chair. I have long, thick Asian hair and wanted a 3-​inch trim with textured layers in the back as well as face framing layers. Ashley did an AMAZING job. She took her time, did an amazing job with layering, and even styled my hair into long soft beachy waves before I left. I was so happy with the result! I’m definitely recommending her to all of my friends and coming back the next time I get my hair cut!

Really depends on the stylist. My husband got a really good haircut and I was very disappointed with mine. The place looks cool but the music is horrible and extremely loud.

Okay, I’m so EXCITED about my «NEW DO»!!!
April is A hair wizard, SERIOUSLY. She’s beyond talented!!! And if you care about EXCELLENT HAIR, EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE, then this is your salon!!! I’m so happy with my hair, it’s ligit magazine hair. I have NEVER been able to say that before discovering SKYLINE SALON and my lovely new friend April !!! I’m going to tell everyone I know!!! My husband works at a casino and I know he’ll be talking about how GREAT my hair looks and I know he’ll spread the word .
This is a salon that makes you feel so relaxed and you can really enjoy your service and not be nervous or scared. Just give it a try, you’ll see. Then you too will have off the charts GORGEOUS HAIR!!! I feel like a princess, seriously!!!

I was really apprehensive booking an appointment here — it’s always nerve wracking to try to find a new hair stylist — it’s your HAIR, for God’s sake! I can’t tell you how many bad haircuts and color disasters this poor head has seen.
Anyhoo — after I read the reviews here on Unilocal I called and made an appointment with Caitlin for lowlights and trim… and was delighted. The salon is cool, great view of downtown and the service is wonderful. Everyone at the salon is friendly and Caitlin did a FABULOUS job on my hair. I have gotten a lot of compliments. I have already booked my next appointment and won’t hesitate to go back.

I came in because the reviews were awesome. I was not expecting it to be a posh, upscale, hip and trendy place. But it is exactly that. I’m sure some people like that kind of thing but it’s just not my style. My highlights turned out a but on the Orange side :-(. I think they left the foils in too long. Wish it could have been a better experience because I do think they have some great stylists. Something just wrong that day, :-(

Made my appointment approximately a week prior and was set up with Josh. I had very long hair prior and was looking for a bob. Josh chopped off 12 inches, and it was packed up to donate to Pantene Beautiful Lengths. My entire experience was wonderful – great service from beginning to end. I was offered drinks (water, diet coke, wine, or beer), and josh greeted me several minutes later. Josh was very nice and listened to everything that I wanted. He made small talk with me the entire time. Some hair stylers are a bit awkward during the entire session, but not Josh. We were joking and smiling the entire time. I loved the interior of this salon as well, great view of the KC skyline on top of it. A bit pricy, but the stylists know what they’re doing.

Full Disclosure: I stopped going to this salon a while back. Not because I didn’t like it, but because I was following my stylist elsewhere. I missed their fancy touches, but I made due. Then I stopped seeing anybody about my hair at all, instead opting for the clippers. And now I have been growing my hair back out.
Well, cue to a random day last week. Out of the blue, I was asked to make a media appearance. When? In like 90 minutes. That sounded great, but the only problem was that I looked as if I took my styling tips from a yeti. I was on a frantic mission to get my hair done.
Since I was already in the crossroads, I started calling salons based on how close they were to my current location. 4 other places didn’t answer or couldn’t get me in. I called Skyline, they said «sure, how about right now?» I was on my way!
My hair was cut by Heather, and while she knew I was in a hurry, she didn’t rush. She is friendly and asks the right questions and gave me a cut that looked good and kept me from looking a fool on TV. I may have found my next stylist.
Anyhow, I think Skyline deserves to be called out for their awesome customer service. The people there are always so friendly, offer a variety of extra touches and in my case were able to meet a pretty crazy request (in terms of appointment times). Skyline, you’re the best!
