Josephine Skaught Hairdressing

I was referred to this place by my friend and a girl name Allison cut my hair there. I absolutely adore what she did for me! She listened to what I wanted done and it came out exactly how I wanted to. My friend uses Amanda there and I will be using Allison from here on out. She was simply amazing and they have great Bumble and Bumble products there.

Skaught is the best for color! Pays attention to every detail and truly loves what he does. I’m always very happy when I leave his shop. He takes his time doesn’t rush you out. He is a little pricey but in my opinion it’s fair because you get what you pay for and the results you will get are worth it. He has a ton of experience and really nice too. Make sure you call for an appointment weeks ahead because he’s busy but he’s got me in before when there’s been cancellations otherwise he’s worth waiting for if you want your color done right. I got a balayage ombré and I really love it. Also I live in the west so it’s a bit of a drive. I thought it would be a hassle to find parking since its downtown but his shop has a full lot right in front so parking is never a problem.

Very happy with the level of communication and effort put into making sure I’m pleased with my hair which is not always easy. But, I get that here. It’s really nice to feel a salon hears you when you tell them your preferences, a lil lighter, a lil shorter, whatever it is… It’s refreshing! They want you to leave satisfied. It’s much appreciated.

MEGAN is a rockstar!!! Super sweet and knows what she’s doing. I went in for an ombré and she suggested a balayage. It was amazing. I just went back to shorten it and I couldn’t be happier. I told her to do whatever looks best and that’s exactly what I got! I’m in love with my hair!

Updating my previously lost review ! I’m very particular about my hair even though I like to keep it simple. Megan Trivette makes the perfect long layers for my hair. She uses Wella for color which holds up a lot longer than the hair dyes they use at other salons. Love that they use Bumble & bumble products here too. I highly recommend anyone looking for a new hairdresser to Megan !

I ADORE MEGAN! She took my various layers of various types of color, gently soothed them out and gave me a chic blonde/​grey bob. Although it is a long process and I was nervous, she was encouraging and sure. The results are that I LOOK BETTER THAN I HAVE IN YEARS!!! Speaking of years, I’m old enough to be everyone’s mom; yet I was one of the girls because they are cool like that. #GirlstotheFront

The salon had a cool vibe. This was my first visit and I have been holding off on going anywhere here in Vegas. I usually wait until I go home to Arizona to get my hair done. Since it had been a year since I had anything done to my hair and I needed to treat myself I decided to give this place a try since it was recommended by a friend. I had Allison who was nice but I couldn’t get her to talk to me. I tried a few times to strike up a convo and she just wasn’t interested I guess In chatting. No problem. There’s nowhere in the rule book that says your stylist has to chit chat with you, haha. She did have another client Come in though and she chatted his ear off. So that kinda made me feel bad. I’m kinda shy at first so for me to try and make conversation was stepping out of my box.
So I had the hair painting done which I had never done before. She seemed to know what she was doing. I was feeling good. Her assistant washed and toned my hair. He kept pulling my hair and I felt like maybe it was his fake nails or something? So I get my hair blow dried and the color looked good. I paid 250 including tip which is the most I’ve ever shelled out to get just a color. But I was happy with my color so it’s fine to pay for quality. I got home and was messing around with my hair as most of us do and lifted some sections and to my horror I had lines through my hair! I’m pretty upset since I paid so much! If I would have paid 50 bucks this is what I would have expected. But to pay this much and have lines?! No. Totally unacceptable. I will not be returning and I’ll be waiting till I go down to Arizona to get my hair done from now on. Lesson learned!

Two words: AMANDA FULLER… another two words: ROCK STAR! You want a remarkable makeover? You’re on the run and need a completely new look? (Ok just kidding) But seriously, if you want an amazingly talented hair dresser who knows EXACTLY what she’s doing, who’s extremely knowledgeable and crazy sweet/​friendly — SHE’S THE ONE YOU NEED TO SEE… NOW!
When I first went to see her, my hair was a hot trashy mess… she took it from damaged, to a gorgeous beige-​y/​caramel to now a few shades shy from platinum. (We’re slowly getting there to avoid damaging my Asian hair). Oh you want a hair cut? She’s like a real life Edward Scissorhands — the woman can wield a pair of shears and razors! Hand to God, you’ll love your head after one visit with her.
Shame on me but I left out her wonderful assistant, Blythe. She has magical hands and her scalp/​head massages are otherworldly.

I love this salon. It has a relaxed vibe, lovely ever-​changing original art on the walls, and an awesome downtown location. I’ve never waited past my appointment time and my hair has never looked better. Skaught, my stylist, is talented, professional, and kind. Lucas in the reception area is a bright ray of light. Highly recommend.

What a great experience! Amanda Fuller is the goddess of color. She transformed my dull lanky dark hair into a cut that’s edgy but yet still me. My black hair was my signature, and she took my signature look and gave it a boost with a pop of color. I get so many compliments and am often told now how much it brightens my face up.
I could go on for ages about her assistant. BEST hair washing ive ever had. I was so relaxed. It was like getting a head massage. It’s worth it to go just for a hair wash!
You will NOT be disappointed checking out this salon.

My experience with Stephen has been nothing but amazing. He has cut and colored my hair several times (balayage to be exact) and I have always left the salon feeling like a million bucks. He is extremely attentive to what you want and delivers it well. I love getting my hair done by Stephen so much, I even brought my boyfriend over to the salon and he absolutely loved his hair cut. I cannot say enough good things about Stephen and would highly recommend him to anyone.

I had the BEST experience here! Stephanie was amazing! My hair looks amazing! I can’t stop playing with it! I had long brown hair and decided that I needed a fun yet sophisticated (as needed) look so I got a (I think it’s called lob style). WOW, I could NOT be HAPPIER! I came in, received a detailed hair consult, shampoo with massage, cut and style that I love and Stephanie was awesome enough to teach me how to style my new shorter hair. I don’t think my head can fit through a door anymore because I’ve been getting SO many compliments. I’m so amazed and so happy! I love my hair!

Skaught is an amazing stylist and a wizard with color. I haven’t been so happy with my hair in years… It’s totally worth the drive downtown from Henderson. Everyone is so nice and I always leave feeling beautiful and good about myself. I even trusted him enough to chop my hair from the middle of my back to a lob! I have gotten so many compliments on my hair since I started having it done by Skaught, and I couldn’t be happier!

Sooo Disapointed!
I gave this salon 2 chances. My last visit was very disappointing. My hairdresser was running behind so her assistant got me seated in the chair. Then my Hairdresser began the color, that was it! I was taken to the hair dryer and sat there Forever!
Then the assistant washed my hair, and took me to a corner chair with no mirror. Honestly it was terrible. I had to ask for my purse back, because someone else was already in my hairdressers chair. I guess that client was worth more money.
Then the assistant attempted to dry and style my hair. It was a mess, no style, not even dry.
When she was done the hairdresser came over to check and trim my bangs. I said «I’m not done am I» my hair looked like I just woke up.
She apologized for her assistant and said «she was still learning». Really???
She was in a hurry to get back to what she was doing, and was not interested in correcting the problem.
$ 100.00 later, I went home trimmed my bangs and washed my hair and thought why did I ever go there.

I love short pixie cuts and I also have thin, curly hair. A combination that a lot of stylists weren’t able to figure out! I was looking for a look that is whimsical, young, feminine.
Amanda did a phenomenal job, she understood immediately what I was looking for and delivered. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Stephanie Von Meijer has been doing my hair for quite a few years now and it has been my pleasure to see her grow as an artist. Her passion for perfection and her innovation will leave you breathless with your new hairstyle. She is truly an inspiration and the best for cutting and styling curly hair. The only stylist in Vegas I can trust with my very thin and stubborn hair.

Decided to try this place out after searching Unilocal.I was hesitant with my thin, fine dark hair, as I always am. I went to Megan. She was sweet & easy to talk to. Honestly I was unsure of my hair that first day, but now I love it. The cut is great for my fine hair, I have tons of volume. And the color is nice & natural like I wanted. I got a partial bayalage
And really like how it turned out. I think going from black to some lighter color was a shock, but it’s perfect for summer around the corner. Thx Megan!

This review is LONG overdue. MY HAIR FELL OUT DUE TO CHEMICAL BURN! Amanda Fuller is the one responsible for the awful destruction that is now left of my hair. Before anyone can say «you did this to yourself», I personally informed Amanda with the list of products/​chemicals I had been using BEFORE she touched my head with the major concern of hairloss/​damage that could possibly happen and she reassured me before, during, after the process that it would NOT happen.
The dirty details: So I was seeking a top hair salon that with a color specialist that would be comfortable stripping my hair of all toxins for an employment opportunity. I read online of techniques of at home remedies and tried them all. Laundry soap, astringent, charcoal soaps, etc. And the final call was for a stripping agent. Since I am not a professional, I didn’t feel comfortable myself to preform this task not knowing if the chemicals prior would react to the chemicals of the stripping agent.
So I called in the pros! Or so I thought…
I spoke with a gentlemen on the phone about my task and specifically requested Amanda due to her coloring experience, I figured she knew what she was doing. He also explained how they would NOT be held responsible for any negative/​positive chemical test results. Duh! Of course not, you are responsible for the outcome of my hair, not drug test! I booked my appointment and was excited to be getting some fresh paint.
So, the day of the appnt I did another one of my washes (as suggested from previous experiences) and went in to see Amanda. I sat down and we had a good 10 min consultation on EXACTLY what I had put in my hair just an hour before, WITH THE WORRY OF A CHEMICAL BURN CAUSING MY HAIR TO FALL OUT.
I asked what my options were for stripping the hair and she mentioned a shampoo that works but was worried it may be to harsh and cause significant damage. Okay, no. What else? She claims that bleach would be the best way to strip the hair, although I had mentioned how the website suggests not to bleach because bleach will not penetrate the follicle and access the cortex where the impurities lie. She said phooy, bleach was the way to go! After expressing to her NUMEROUS TIMES before, during after, the next day on how I did NOT want my hair to fall out, she kept telling me not to worry, it will not fall out. Okay but, it FREAKING burned so bad, she simply tells me that it should tingle, but not burn. I told her it felt like fire, and she MOVES ME UNDER THE BLOWDRYER to speed up the process.
At this point, I’ve told her how inexperienced I am with bleaching and after looking at her overly bleached head, I thought she might just know what the hell she’s talking about. WRONG. After I see the out come of the first bleaching process, she suggests that we do ANOTHER process to ensure the blonde will look right. HELL NO. My head felt so tight, I told her it felt like someone with literally pulling the back of my scalp with their hand. She says «ew creepy!»…thanks?
So needless to say, I denied the second bleach job (thank God) and went for a deep auburn with a balayage highlight on top. Color came out amazing, fell in love. Short lived though. After a out a week, 50% of MY HAIR FELL OUT. I KID YOU NOT. I cried like a baby. REGARDLESS of the test results, I would’ve NEVER EVER EVER EVER had my hair bleached on top of my «washes» had Amanda taken the professional approach and warned me of the severe damage that could possibly happen, rather the take a chance and «wing it» with my hair. I’m not a freaking guinea pig for you to take an pic and post on instagram EXPLAINING in detail the personal reasons behind why I booked my appointment. Classy Amanda. Just what I wanted. I give her points on the color when it first came out, but would strip her of her license for lack of knowledge and professionalism. Just BAD.
The single star is for the owner who was out of town for a week and instead of making me wait the entire week for him to return to see the damages, I sent him before and after photos and explained how I will be seeing a derma, and would need a full refund to cover the expenses. $ 357 for this awful service I received by Amanda, just really depressing. I thought I would have to buy a wig, but thankfully it stopped falling out. No call from Amanda at any point during this horrible experience to see how my hair and I were after the trauma.
Needless to say, even though you do your research and look, for the best possible solution (in this case, stylist) bad things will happen with negligence. Just bad. See photos. I just wish she had turned me away, and not screwed my hair up for God knows how long. GREAT!

This review is long overdue.
I came in February 2014. My hair was long and damaged from years of at-​home coloring. I was pregnant as hell and just wanted the endless cycle of dying to stop because I knew once the baby came I wouldn’t have time for such things.
I threw myself at Amanda’s feet and begged her to fix my hair. I wanted her to bring it back to it’s original color.
5 hours and $ 460 dollars later my hair was back to it’s natural color with no damage… I could not believe it. Amanda single-​handedly restored my faith in hair salons.

Stephanie did an amazing… Amazing job on my color. I have been to about 4 salons in vegas. Bad bad bad. You would think In the large and entertaining city of Las Vegas it would be easy to find a good hairdresser. For me, it was a mission and a half.
The appointment process was very easy and received a reminder email as well. I did get an email later that they do online appointments for my next one.
I was offered a drink, which Stephanie made me raspberry tea on ice which was so refreshing. Did the consult. Did the color. Did the wash and free deep conditioning treatment (thank you check in deal on Unilocal). Got blow dried and was amazed. The color is so what I wanted and I get so many compliments– even from other hair dressers on the color. Now, it was not cheap. But so worth it. I walked out relaxed and looking hot!
Will Definately be back. And fyi they use bumble and bumble product which is fantastic.
