Salon 86

Still my favorite salon to have my hair done. Dawn is my all time favorite beautician! Just wish she wasn’t clear out in WDM now. I rarely go out to that area (since I live near Ankeny). Always love what Dawn does to my hair whether a cut or color it’s always fabulous!

After looking at their website, I decided to make an appointment with the owner. Her bio claims consultation is her first priority. My «consultation» included me filling out a questionnaire about myself… which she barely looked at and then asked what I wanted to do with my hair. I agree a client should have some idea what they want when the go to a salon, but when the owner prides herself on designing your hair based on your face shape and lifestyle, you tend to expect a personal touch and some suggestions. She did neither for me.
She also claims to have exceptional experience in color knowledge. I had my hair colored by her twice. The first time the color was exactly what I wanted. It was beautiful! The second time it was not even close to the previous color. I was actually embarrassed to go out in public because it was so dark. She claimed it was the same color. She would not admit she made a mistake.
I wouldn’t recommend this salon.
