Kaya Beauty

I have literally found the best stylist ever! Belle is going to be my hairdresser for life! I had a bad experience with my hair with another stylist and I honestly didn’t think it could be fixed and she worked her magic and I left happy. Not only did she do that for me but she just recently did it for my niece who was in tears because her hair looked so bad! Not only is she a great stylist but she is a GREAT person who genuinely cares about her clients! She is a very experienced and DEFINITELY knows what she is doing! She explains everything that she is going to do before she does it and is very honest as to what looks best on each person that sits in her chair. If you are just looking for a fantastic stylist Belle is definitely your girl and if you are looking for someone to fix another stylists mistakes Belle is your girl!!! Thanks Belle for your dedication and hard work

Abbey is fantastic!!! Her outgoing and professional personality is on point with hairstyling skills to match.

I moved to America 5 years ago and was so scared about finding a new hairdresser. I was scouted and picked up by a modelling agency in my first month. They recommended Kaya Beauty in Henderson.
I started going to Belle @ Kaya Beauty for my Cut & Color and have never looked back. Best hairdresser I have ever had.

This salon is inviting, clean and offers excellent customer service! Belle has been styling my hair for more than 10 years and has never let me down. I’m constantly receiving compliments… at work, at the airport, at Target. She’s a genius with hair color! I always send people to Belle and Kaya Beauty. I have also had great experiences getting a facial and massage at the spa.

Belle at Kaya is amazing! She is professional and she always makes me look amazing. I never leave disappointed and she is so much fun to hang out and talk while I am there. Belle also does my husband’s hair too as he has difficult curly hair. Would recommend her to anyone.

Monica Flynn has been doing my hair for over 10 years. She is an amazing colorist and always makes my hair feel healthy.
Bring her a picture of what you want and she will do it! She will also tell you if your idea is a bad idea for you or if you should go for it. I only trust 3 stylists with my hair and she is #1!

Got my hair done here by Mia. I asked for a balayge and even showed her a picture of what I wanted, but I don’t think we were even looking at the same picture, it looks absolutely horrible. I haven’t left my house in a week because I am so disgusted with my hair. My hair is very dark brown and there is no blending at all. My roots are dark brown and then it just drops to platinum blonde. Part of my hair is brassy and the other half is white blonde. I simply paid and left because I didn’t want to make a scene but I would NEVER recommend anyone coming here to get their hair dyed. I wouldn’t even come back to go all over brown. I am so embarrassed and my hair is completely ruined. I can’t even wear my hair down around the house because I can’t stand to even look at it. DO NOT COME TO THIS SALON

I was cutting my own hair because I was tired of getting my hair butchered at the salon, but my hair was losing its shape. Chet brought new life into my hair and kept the length! He took my concerns in, like no volume and frizz, and cut my hair to improve those things. Also he gives great scalp and neck massages complimentary! Worth the money!

I’m still coming to Kaya for my manicures and pedicures with Tiffany and Tanya is my favorite aesthetician for a relaxing facial.
I recently decided to try a stylist for a cut and color since my regular gal across town had been so difficult to get an appointment with. I needed someone who was a good colorist to get my red color back into tip-​top shape. Tiffany recommend Jenna F to me. I met with Jenna beforehand and then made an appointment. I was not disappointed! Jenna did a fabulous job matching my color and shaping up my grown-​out haggard hair getting it back to looking it’s best. Two weeks later, the color still looks great. I’m looking forward to my next appointment with Jenna.

I go here every month or two to get my eyebrows waxed by Marina. She always does a great job and I recommend her to everyone!

I came here to try out having my nails done again, since my last time wasn’t so please, but this time I actually had a referral from someone who was really excited about how this person does nails. So I booked an appointment. ((Oh yeah I forgot to add that I have to go out of town tmro for vacation))
I set up an appointment with Shelby Passey.
When I arrived at this institute, I didn’t realize it was a salon too which is great since I don’t have the right solution for my dry bleached hair :) it is a nice sized establishment and it made me feel comfortable and not so cramped.
All the females here seemed nice and didn’t, to me, feel like anyone wAs stuck up.
Shelby was amazing. We started with my pedi, and her hands felt comforting on my toes. I like to have gel on nails because it last longer so she came to me with an idea after I picked out the colors. Why not throw some glitter on it before we finish. Which is an uhhhhhhhhmmaaaazing idea I’d say. Glitter is great!!! So she helped me pick out that color too. I spoke to her about my hair issues to see if she could help, and she did. She introduced me to a lady who actually had experienced the same thing I had, Susie Morgan. Which I plan on going back.
All in all I had a wonderful time and based on my first time experience, I would recommend this place to all females who are like me and need a little bit extra help.

Kelli is a new stylist at Kaya. I hope my comments will help others avoid the problems I had with her cut and color. When I first met Kelli, she told me that her Paul Mitchell training was equivalent to Sassoon training. Before my last appointment, she asked me to bring in a photo of the hairstyle. I spoke with her before the appointment and told her I found the hairstyle I wanted on the Sassoon site and emailed a series of photos from the web site. Kelli did not tell me before the appointment that she could not execute the style. I also asked whether she knew how to undercut and she said she did. I brought copies of the website photos to the appointment. At that point, Kelli said that she did not have the training to execute the Sassoon technique and perhaps I should find a Sassoon stylist (a bit late since I was already in the chair).
The appointment included highlights. I had been growing out a series of disaster colors since August so thought that I finally would get rid of fried, discolored hair. I specifically told Kelli that the bang area takes longer to come up than the rest of my hair. She ignored my comment and did the bang area last resulting in an orange patch smack in the middle of the bang area. When I went back three days later, instead of just foiling the orange patch, she foiled the crown in a different direction than the original foils. After 50 minutes under the dryer, I again have unsightly, chemicalized, bright yellow straw hair with an orange patch in the bang area.
I told Kelli that the back had to be cut perceptibly shorter than the sides as in an A-​line cut (because the sides are treated and the back is not) or the result will be a Dutch Boy bob. Again, Kelli ignored me so a Dutch Boy bob is what I have. When she started to cut the back, she said that she has her own way of undercutting because the technique taught for undercutting hurts her hands. Her technique did not result in an undercut so her husband, Chet, gamely tried to fix the undercut but did not do anything to resolve the Dutch Boy bob look.
She didn’t cut any of the longer portion of the sides but did cut the bangs. When she got to the left side, she complained that my directions were stifling her creativity. I told her to be creative. At that point, she said she was done (after three hours so was I) and would fix the left side when I came in to fix the orange patch but did not do so.
I left two messages for the owner, Mark Cottle, explaining that Kelli’s color and cut required correction and asked him to contact me for a consultation. I did not ask for free services. After two weeks, Mark has not responded. Based on my experience, I must conclude that Kaya’s claim to «have a highly educated staff committed to. .. exceptional service [and] building honest relationships that take our clients to a new level mentally and aesthetically» is sheer hype.
In sum, if you like the idea of paying $ 150 for color and cut that is altogether substandard, then Kelli is your stylist. If you expect the salon owner to be responsive to issues created by his stylists, don’t waste your time calling Mark.
Response to Natasha F. comment:
1) I did write a good review after Kelli’s first cut and color and removed the review after her last color and cut because the prior review would be misleading to potential clients.
2) Kelli did not refer me to Mark when she called to tell me that she had moved to Kaya. She merely mentioned that Mark was Sassoon trained.
3) After I briefly met Mark on March 25, I left a message asking him to call to discuss adding color to my appointment. He did not return my call.
4) I informed Mark that I had to cancel my April 1 appointment because my 90 year old Mother in Memory Care had a conflicting medical appointment of which I was unaware (since I thought the appointment was on March 25). Mark did not respond to my message.
5) I thought Mark did not want to work with me so I contacted Kelli.
6) After Kelli’s botched color and cut, I emailed her to describe issues w/​cut and color and to inform her that I would not use her services and would remove prior review. Since then, I have not telephoned her.
7) After two telephone messages to Mark to which he did not respond, I left no further messages.
8) I have never emailed any Kaya staff except one email to Kelli w/​photos of the haircut I wanted before my appointment and one email after the botched color.
9) What I want is to have the color and cut that I expected and for which I paid. Since that will not happen, Kaya Beauty or Kelli should refund at least the charge for the color that fried and discolored my hair.
10) I, too, am sorry that Kaya has been unable/​unwilling to meet my needs since, after blowing $ 150, every day has been a bad hair day. It’s not just me — friends and neighbors have negatively commented on the color and cut.

I have naturally straight hair and in my opinion it’s the easiest kind of hair to cut. So when I come in for a trim (no color, no layers), literally a trim on my ends and bangs and they want $ 50 for that? I don’t think so. But I do it anyway. The girl cuts and drys my hair and everything seems perfect until the next day. I wash my hair and go to style when I see a large chunk of hair on my right side cut into unevenly. It looks like a random area shorter than everything else. And with straight hair it was pretty noticeable. This hair trip was supposed to be an easy cut. Instead it went awry and overpriced.

I had my hair cut here, i was very disappointing. Lets just say the guy that did my hair was «scissor happy» and I think Edward scissor hands would have done a better job. Cut off about 6 inches of hair but I asked for a trim… Last time I checked a trim was an inch or two. Guess I was mistaken. Never coming back.

This place makes me feel and look like a rock star! Thanks Cameron for my great new do! Shelby… no one does toes better! My multi color blues, pinks and gole are soooo beach ready! LOVE!!!

Love– Love– Love Monica! I live on the west side but will drive to see her to get perfect color and cut. She’s a doll and always squeezes me in (I have an awful travel sked) She never complains– in fact greets me with a big smile & hug! I always know I’ll look fabulous when I leave. And how many people can say that when they get their hair done???

Suzi is the best!

I went here because of the glowing reviews on Unilocal,but was severely disappointed. (I’ll tell you, this is the first time I’ve ever been disappointed by Unilocal.) The one star they deserve for the fact that they refunded some of my money when I complained.
First of all, one of the first things I told the hairstylist (Alexa, I believe) when I began talking to her was that I’m trying to grow my hair out, preferably beyond my belly button. Instead, she cut it about 5 inches shorter. When I looked in the mirror after she had started cutting and said that it looked short, she assured me that she hadn’t taken anything from the length. I was confused and said that maybe it was my imagination.
Well, I went home and looked at photos of myself to check to see if it was my imagination or not, my hair was actually 2 inches longer 5 months ago (the last time I got a cut, since I’m trying to grow my hair out). Additionally, when looking at photos of myself from 2 weeks ago, my hair was clearly a few inches beyond the lower curve of my bosom. My current hair is about 5 inches shorter than that. (it falls above the top of my breasts) Obviously, it was not my imagination.
Then, the next day after I had I washed my hair and blow-​dried it (the hairdresser had curled my hair) and realized that almost all the layers on the right side of my head are a full 2 inches shorter than the layers on the left side of my head.
When I called to complain I was told «We were under the impression that you didn’t want your hair particularly even in the first place.»
What? Really? REALLY? Who in their right mind would not want the hair on either side of their head to be of even lengths?
And then when I asked if there was anyone there who could fix this train wreck, I was told I could only get my hair fixed for free by the same person who butchered my hair in the first place. Otherwise, I would have to pay full price for a hair cut.
Right. No thanks.
In the end, they refunded me the $ 45 for my hair cut and the $ 20 that I had given in tip, but not the $ 65 that I had paid for my color. Whatever. I never want to deal with them again.
Two quotes from Kaya that I will never forget, «She didn’t really understand the stringy style that you wanted for your hair» (first of all, I did not want my hair stringy. Second of all I had 6 photos, front, back, side, and styled of the hair style I wanted. If she didn’t know what I wanted she should have asked further or said she didn’t know how to do the haircut)…
and «We were under the impression that you didn’t want your hair even in the first place». Yeah.

Very clean and nice salon. Kensi did my highlights and did a great job. Prices are norm for Vegas. Will go back for sure!

Kaya is a gem! I moved to Las Vegas last year, and was so sad to leave my hairstylist (Dina at Trim in Venice, if you’re looking). I looked around a bit and decided to try Kaya first, since it’s close to home. I’ve never gone anywhere else in Vegas.
This last time, I decided I wanted to chop my very long hair to chin length. I haven’t had short hair since I was a kid, so I was nervous. I scheduled with Kristin, and she did a phenomenal job. I absolutely LOVE the style she gave me, and she was cool, too!
Prices are about the same as any decent hair salon, around $ 50 for a haircut, $ 75 or so for highlights. If you get Kristin, it’s more than worth it! (Can you really put a price on a great hairstylist, though? Really?)
Kaya also has some really good products for hair. There’s a spa inside as well, though I haven’t tried that out yet.
