“1st visit here for haircut. Jamie asked me several questions before she started, which gave me confidence that she wanted to do a good job. She continued to ask about my preferences during the cut and it turned out very good. I'll definitely be back.“

“I had the best pedicure with Diane. She was very gentle and meticulous by far the best in Iowa City. I will be going back.“

“I had an appointment with Irina from Nova Salon yesterday. My experience was over the top and far exceeded my expectations! Her evaluation of my hair, color and style along with advice based on years of experience were like nothing I have received before.“

“This place absolutely SAVED me, I got absolutely butchered, think curly lopsided rattail mullet ? I was coming back for a high school reunion and my sister was able to call around and got recommended here and luckily they were able to squeeze me in so I left at 6:30am with an 8hr road trip.
Immediately at ease they had seen pictures in advance of the hatchet job, consultation was extremely knowledgeable and comforting, wet cut to start, dried with a curly set and then finished the cut once dried. It is amazing what they were able to do, if I was a crier I would have been bawling with relief and happiness, I am just SO SO SO thankful!!!!“

“I’ve been going to Mai for braids for over three years at this point. Not only does my hair always look amazing but she’s always so kind and makes the experience positive. After all this time she really knows what i like and makes sure everything looks good. I very highly recommend Mai’s African Hair Braiding.“
