Benton Square Salon

First time there was today and I highly recommend Laura. She listens to what you want and does it. Very happy with my service. She gave me a makeover and I feel great. Thanks.

I’ve gone to this salon for a few services. Some are absolutely fabulous, and others I am not a fan of.
First, the good stuff: Traci is the esthetician and she is absolutely amazing. I do my brazillian with her every four weeks, and I’ve gotten a facial with her. She is quick and thorough, plus she chats it up and makes me feel really comfortable. I’m very picky about my estheticians, and she is definitely a good one.
Traci also did my make-​up once, and again, she’s awesome! I had a daytime/​natural look done. It was really nice to have someone do my makeup, and she was very reasonably priced!
Second, I’ve had my nails done here. They do shellack, which is great! But I got acrylic nails, and I didn’t like them too much. They were too thick and lifted off of my nail after less than a week (like when I ran my hands through my hair). I tried it for a couple of fills, but I ended up just taking them off and not dealing with them. I was bummed– I absolutely love acrylic nails.
Thirdly, I’ve had my hair done here twice. It was by the same person, and I won’t be going back. The first time, he put the color on my head and didn’t rub a wax on my skin to prevent staining. I left and my head was stained for about 3 days… it was embarrassing. Also, I have white towels, and my first few washes at home resulted in the color coming off on my towels. I’ve been coloring my hair for over ten years; this has never happened anywhere else. The second time I went back, I wanted highlights on my color. He allowed me to choose if I wanted to do the roots (which was the original appointment) or just do color. He assured me it wouldn’t matter either way. I opted for the less expensive option: just the color, not the roots. When he dried my hair, the roots were tiger striped because the color had lifted great than the rest of my hair. It was so horrible. He ended up redoing the entire appointment by just touching up my roots. I spent 4 hours there and left with what I originally came in to do (the roots). Such a waste of time and money, and it was hugely disappointing. I won’t go back to him. :(
There it is: Traci is so fabulous! I have yet to find my Rolla loves for hair and nails, though.

Went to Tracy for my first brazilian. She is awesome! She makes you feel very comfortable and at ease. Great prices. I will continue to go to her while my husband is in school at S & T.

Love my haircut… I have a pretty thick head of hair and I like it to look professional yet trendy and I’ll admit I like to be pampered when I go to a hair salon. The Salon at Benton Square was recommended by a female co worker who has gone there for a long while and she swore I would be happy with any one of their hair stylist if I couldn’t get in right way with Colleen who cuts her hair. My hair needed to grow out from a not so great haircut so I chose to wait for Colleen to cut it and it is probably the best haircut I have ever had! She took her time and didn’t rush through it like most stylists do cause I’m a guy.(if you’re a guy you know what I mean). Another awesome thing was there is a restaurant there on a different level from the salon and they had a menu at her hair station so I ordered one of their appetizers and a beer and the waitress from downstairs brought it up to me! I have to say the entire time I was there I kept thinking this was something I would expect in a city or something but I’m in Rolla! I cant quit talking about this place! It was the best salon experience I have ever had! Needless to say, I highly recommend this salon!
