Salon and Spa On Boulevard

My mother and I have been getting our hair and nails done at Salon OTB for over 10 years. If you close your eyes and imagine the ideal salon and spa you’re picturing the facilities at Salon OTB. But the real draw is the staff, full of kind and knowledgable individuals. Ive seen more than one stylist and nail tech all of whom have understood my wants, needs, hair type, and have worked with me to achieve the best look. My go to girl is Alexa Hartley who recently gave me the most amazing rose gold hair color, edgy undercut, and stunning Victoria’s Secret blowout as well as a fun time while she worked her magic.

I just got back from having my hair done at Salon and Spa On Boulevard. I came in with a Pinterest board full of pictures that were all very similar to each other basically saying the same thing: I want an ombré color with some curls, oh and also some bangs from a different picture on my board.
When we were close to done, I was able to see the results better: a poor dye job that looked like I let my roots grow in for too long (you can see what I was upset about in the photo section above). I ended up having the girl dye my hair back to dark brown. This was the first time in ten years I decided to try something adventurous with my hair and I was very disappointed (and I’m actually nervous to ever dye my hair again).
I will say that the girl that was doing my hair was very kind and willing to re-​do my hair until I was happy, which is why this place gets an extra star. But for the price I paid ($ 160), this place was not worth it by any means. There are a million salons in the Denver area and next time I will choose a place with more qualified stylists than a place that is closest to home.

I absolutely love my hairstylist, Ned, at this salon! I’ve been going to him for almost 10 years and have never had a bad experience! He is meticulous with both cut and color and really listens to his clients! He is constantly educating himself on new styles, techniques and products to keep things fresh and fun.

I have been going to Nella for years for my mani/​pedi, it simply does not get any better than her. I recommend her to everyone. Not only is she extremely pleasant but she is meticulous in her work. You do have to schedule time with her in advance, which just goes to show the exceptional quality of her work. I have several friends whose daughters/​mothers/​grandmothers even fathers and husbands have been going to her for decades. She is truly the best.

I’ve been to this salon two times, the first time was a really good experience. Both times were for eyebrow waxing. The first woman, who is an employee of the salon was wonderful and did a great job. On my second visit, my appointment was with a different woman who rents space at the salon. This woman was incredibly rude and it made for an unpleasant experience. I almost left in the middl of my service she was so awful.

A little pricier than I’d like and I might be finding a new place now that they’re about to raise prices. But Diandra has been doing a great job on my hair for years and the other staff here are all very friendly. So I’ve stayed around for a few years.

Upstairs in the spa, Gina is your gal! Gentle, approachable, professional, and overall amazing.
Downstairs, I love Sadie for a haircut. Intuitive with hair, listens to her customers, and just a blast to chat with.
While I don’t get my hair cut that often, Sadie always remembers me and is super sweet. I’ve also come in on numerous occasions feeling really blah with my hair and only a vague idea of what I want, and she always knows exactly what to do to make it come alive and look interesting again! I think it’s about $ 45 for a cut, but well worth every penny. She is very intuitive with hair and what flatters your face, style, and hair type. She’s also shown me pictures of highlights she’s done on other people and they all look incredible, so I’m considering getting my hair dyed by her too!
Sadie actually recommended Gina when I asked about waxes. I have been to Gina a number of times (including my first ever wax!) and it is consistently nothing short of pleasurable. She makes you feel very comfortable and she is very gentle — yes, even when ripping hair from your undercarriage — and a self-​proclaimed perfectionist when it comes to removing hair down there. Since seeing her, I am a believer in Brazilians and the $ 50 every month or so is WELL worth it. She also gave me samples of products because she noticed my skin was dry when she did my eyebrows. (AND she remembered that she gave them to me and asked how I liked them the next time I came in!) I’m planning on getting a facial by her soon too because she has been amazing with the Brazilians.
For the overall salon, the space is roomy enough and very clean. The receptionist is always pleasant and responsive when booking or moving appointments.

Gina Delein is a godsend! I had been going to her sporadically for eyelash tints (maybe 2 – 3 times a year) and just recently started seeing her for facials and chemical peels. She has a gentle, relaxing touch and a very approachable, pleasant energy about her. My first facial was accompanied by one type of peel (I can’t remember the main ingredient) and my second facial was a glycolic/​lactic acid peel. Gina had asked that I come in for 15 minutes prior to any peels in order to test the skin reaction on my neck to each of the two peels she offers. I really appreciate her testing the product on me in advance. After both facials and peels, my skin looked heavenly. And the entire process was very relaxing and rejuvenating. I have my third facial coming up next month (the facials are in preparation for my wedding this summer). My fiancé will be booking a couple of facials, too, so I will post updates! Oh, and I also had my brows tinted during my last facial. Gina talked to me about some concerns I have with my brows thinning which I really appreciated. She suggested some possible causes and recommended a product that I had not heard of. Also — this was really great — after my first facial and peel — I was pleasantly surprised that Gina called me to ask how my skin looked and reacted to the peel. Following both facials, Gina has handed me a skin care sample (Murad and she has a couple of other product lines, too). After my second facial, she ran out to my car after I had left and handed me a bag of Pureology hair samples and a couple of Crew samples for my fiancé. Wonderful experience and excellent customer service. Gina is a keeper!

For permanent eyeliner, Debi is the BEST! She works hard to understand what you are looking for (heavy, light, natural or striking) and then does EXACTLY what you requested! Great tattoo application, sweet lady too. Recommend highly.

Alexa is my stylist and I love her. She always does a great job with cut and color. The salon is very clean and accommodating. I would definitely refer this salon.

Jason Linkow is the ultimate stylist. He listens to what style you like, does a relaxing shampoo before your haircut and is very personable. I would highly recommend Jason for someone looking to change their hair, maintain a look and keep their hair in great condition.

I went into the Salon last friday to schedule a threading appointment. All of the women at the front desk seemed annoyed that I was there and were more worried about their Starbucks order then helping me set up an appointment. As someone who worked at salons all through college I know that good customer service is extremely important and also not THAT hard to provide. Regardless of the uninviting atmosphere I showed up for my appointment the next day. Everyone was just as inconvenienced by my appointment as they had seemed the day before, and the woman who did my eyebrows was extremely rude and didnt even bother to ask any questions about the shaping, or what I wanted. My eyebrows looked good, though I have had better. The threading was overpriced and the woman even had the audacity to ask me for a bigger tip after. To top off my experience, on my way out I smiled and said thank you to the woman at the front desk, only to be sent off with a dirty look. Needless to say, I wont be back.

Worst eyebrow wax I have EVER received! Lady was nice enough, bikini wax was fine. My eyebrows look horrible! One is shorter than the other, different shapes, the gap between the brows is now huge and uneven, and I have noticeable hairs that SHOULD have been waxed. The places that needed attention are still there, and my nice eyebrow shape is gone. Instead of trimming hairs with scissors that were straggly or long, she just plucked it or waxed them! WTF, now I have some bald spots and a really horrible shape. The waxing technique was even very strange… instead of a nice smooth line of wax, letting it dry, and ripping it off, this tech basically put a little dot of wax everywhere she thought she saw a hair, and used strips to yank it off. It did not hurt any more or less, but now that the treatment is over, the skin is irritated by being pulled so many different times. Never going back. I’ll stick with Wax in the City. Looks like I have some brow growing to do before I go back to my old stomping ground :(

Diandra is AMAZING! As a life-​long bleach blonde, I’ve had my fair share of horrible bleaching experiences. I was looking for a change from my old salon, as I was not satisfied with the price to quality ratio. I begrudgingly walked into the shop as a «walk-​in» … I normally am not that gutsy, but I’m glad I took a chance because it really payed off. Diandra made me feel welcome and calm while we did our consultation, and continued to entertain me while she completed my service. She gave me a beautiful, easy to style, haircut to compliment my color. I’m a life-​long customer now! Thanks Diandra!

I really love this place but it’s mainly because I go to Nadiqa (Nay-​di-​kah.) She’s a laid back, cool chick that makes me almost fall asleep when she’s blow drying and styling my hair.
When I decided to dye my hair DARK brown, it looked great! And when I decided I needed to lighten it up. it looked flawless.
I only make an appointment when I can go out that night and can show off my blown out locks.
They have tons of products including my favorite Bumble & Bumble. Salon-​Spa on the Blvd is newer, clean and the employees are fantastic from beginning to end. I’ll never cheat unless Nadiqa moves on!

Love this place! My friends mom works here as a massage therapist which is how I found out about it. Anyway I see Gina every 2 weeks for a brazilian/​eyebrow wax and she is AMAZING. I am seriously anal about my eyebrows and she always does them prefectly. The eyebrows are a little expensive, but she makes up for it by only charging $ 50 for a brazilian. Also, they use a softer wax so it doesn’t hurt as much but still gets the job done. Trust me, I’m Italian and I have A LOT of hair but that girl leaves me bare… in a good way
