“I’ve gotten my hair done more than 3 times, because she knows how to do her hair and each time people asked me the question who did your hair. She makes sure you get what you want. if you send her the picture of what you want and she will make you the same hairstyle. She is a person kind and adorable. I highly recommend you to anyone who wants their hair to look perfect.“

“I came here for a blowout ahead of a wedding and Lydia was phenomenal. She was warm, efficient and very talented. The blowout lasted three days, she’ll be my new go-to when I am in the area!

Requested style: Blowout with volume and curls

Stylist: Lydia“

“The absolute best. Tim does amazing work. We really appreciate the quality and attention to detail. Couldn't ask for me.“

“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!“

“Jenny did an amazing job!! She talked me through everything and gave me tips on how to keep my hair full and healthy!“

“This is a very nice salon that has been in business many years. Shannon has cut my hair for at least twenty years and I am always pleased with the results. She is always friendly as are the rest of the staff.“

“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!“

“Buzz is by far the best hair salon to get a haircut. Eric has cut my hair for about two years now. I no longer live in Iowa City but I still come back to get an excellent cut from Eric and to enjoy the atmosphere of the shop. Danny, who always checks me in at the front is very prompt and polite. Offering complimentary beverages and always easy to talk. Eric is not only my barber/hair specialist but he is also a friend. He’s super funny and super kind so I recommend asking for Eric if it is your first time at Buzz.“

“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.“

“Went for a long to short transformation and Christina was awesome! Can't recommend her enough.“

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

Stylist: Lauren did my hair and she did a fantastic job.“

“Best haircut I've ever had! Paul new exactly what he was doing and I felt confident it would turn out well from the first cut.“

“Dennis and Mike are wonderful! Have been a client since 2006. Dennis is a talented colorist and could work anywhere.

“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.“
