Eyelash in Iowa City

“Kara did an amazing job styling hair for my wedding day! Not only did her hairstyles look amazing, but she was also prompt, worked efficiently, and communicated well throughout the entire process.

When I first met her for the hair trial she knew exactly how to achieve the look I requested and told me upfront that adding clip-in extensions would be necessary to achieve the length and volume I was looking for in the style I wanted. She was not pushy and made it clear that I did not have to purchase extensions, but helped set expectations on how my hair would look both with and without extensions which I appreciated.

On the day of my wedding she was able to effortlessly meet the differing requests of me, my bridesmaids, the mother of the bride, and the mother of the groom. She executed two updos, one half-up half-down, and two fully down styles for the wedding and all looked phenomenal throughout the day despite us all having different hair types and the extreme humidity and heat on the day.

Beyond her expertise in hairstyling I also really appreciated her demeanor on the morning of the wedding - she was aware of the different personality dynamics in the room and not only kept her cool, but helped the entire group of us stay relaxed throughout the morning which I greatly appreciated. She was laid back and easy to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process which was important to me.

I highly recommend Kara to any bride in the eastern Iowa area looking for a hair stylist on their wedding day!“

“I go and see Olivia at Avenson. I have had nothing but good experiences getting my hair done with her! I have never had a stylist be on the same page as me so quickly. I brought in some inspiration photos and after a 10 minute consultation, she had a plan and got started on my color. She was concerned with getting my dream look while also considering how to do it with the least possible damage to my natural hair. In the past I’ve had some really bad experiences at different salons. I’m so glad I finally found someone who sees the vision and executes it flawlessly! I can’t wait to go back for my next appointment!“

“Cindy is amazing! I always leave feeling relaxed with glowing skin. She’s also super friendly and great to talk with. She always answers my questions and helps me figure out what my skin needs!“

“The ladies at Mad Jac are the best! Easy to schedule and get the best quality hair cut this side of the Mississippi!“

“I’ve been going to Maddie for my lashes for a few years and she always does an incredible job. I started having acne flare ups and she helped me find products and ingredients that work for me, all while educating me on skincare. She has helped transform my skin and gain my confidence back!! I will never stop recommending her services!“

“In love with the lashes Heather did for me. Her personality is seriously the best and my experience was wonderful. Will absolutely be going back!“

“I used to get my lash extensions done by V and she always did a great job! I now live out of state, but I would recommend her to anyone in the area!“
