Curb Appeal Salon and Spa

Rarely do I fuss about hair care. I’m pretty low maintenance but today’s experience was terrible. I went in with a living social cut and color coupon. I only needed my roots touched up and maybe a little pulled through to blend. Part way into the application my stylist mentioned «oh by the way the coupon only covers 1oz of color and each additional is 25 $». I couldn’t very well change my mind at that point so I said ok. She of course needed more color to do the roots, to make a long story short I spent 3 hrs there and left with my hair bleached out Barbie blond (I have light-​medium golden blond hair) and my hair sloppily blow dried and trimmed. The staff is friendly but the hair care sadly lacking.

I checked in with Marvin for an hour-​long massage today. I left feeling pretty darn good. I went to a barre code class in Dundee the other day, so my shoulders and hamstrings were beyond tense. Marvin did an excellent job loosening things up — better than my foam roller any day! My five star rating goes unchanged — let Marvin work his magic, promise you will not be disappointed!

Laura is an amazing stylist and she did a fabulous job! She gave my thin, straight hair a serious makeover with a cut and style. She started with a consultation and made recommendations that I love. My hair turned out even better than I could have imagined!

I’ve been to curb appeal for hair and color services 4 or 5 times now. That being said, I have no idea how I haven’t written a review yet! Both Laura & Sarah P have done my hair, and every time I swear I walk out of there with magic hair.
I have very fine & thin hair, which means growing it out can be tough on it if I’m not treating it right. In the past year both Sarah & Laura have given me advice and answered any questions I have about hair care (&what products work well with my hair type).
I also set up an appointment for my boyfriend’s hair to be cut (with Esther). We’re about to go to a wedding and his hair is looking mighty fine ;) She did an amazing job! He said this is the best his hair has looked & felt in awhile.
If you’re looking for a new stylist/​salon– do yourself a favor and set up an appointment at Curb Appeal. If this review isn’t enough, get your hair done there – Their work speaks for itself.

I had my bridesmaids go here to get our hair done on the day of my wedding. Their front desk worker I talked to was not the brightest at communicating their services well. It was a little frustrating because I had to call four different times. The first time I called, I asked what they offered. The second time I called was to set up the appointments. This is when I asked for the bridal package. The only reason why I wanted a bridal package was because of the «free trial appointment.» I thought that meant a free hair trial appointment; however, I was wrong and found out the third time I called. The third time, I finalized the appointments and asked to set up my «free hair trial appointment». I got a rude, «oh no honey, we don’t offer free hair trial appointments.» I then asked what is the «free trial appointment» with the bridal package. She said it’s for makeup… and then informed me I can set up a trial hair appointment, but it would be $ 76 for the trial and $ 76 or the actual appointment the day of. So, I canceled the bridal package and just scheduled to get my hair and make-​up done the day of. I said I did not want the trial appointment because it wouldn’t benefit me at all. I would pay $ 76 for the stylist to see if they can do the hairstyle, just to go home and wash the hairstyle out immediately before anyone sees it.
Four days before the wedding my husband’s mom calls and says she’s at Curb Appeal and that they said I need to set up a trial appointment! I then called them for the fourth time. (it was the same woman every time I called). I told her I had already called to confirm the appointments and that I didn’t want a trial appointment because I am confident that they will do a good job. She then informed me that my husband’s mom told them that the bridesmaid hairstyles I chose had a braid in them. She then went on to telling me that all the stylists there do NOT know how to braid hair… I repeated, «they don’t know how to braid hair? A simple three strand braid in hair?» I was thinking, why in the world are the stylists at a salon if they can’t even braid hair! She said yes and since I wasn’t coming in for a trial, I had to set up a consultation appointment. A consultation appointment? Why didn’t she tell me that the other 3 times I called there? If his mom didn’t go in four days before the wedding I wouldn’t have set one up because I had no idea I had to.
Anyway, besides the front desk service, the place was great! We went in, all got our hair done simultaneously. Everyone’s hair turned out beautiful!

Nothing to rave about. I thankfully didn’t spend a lot since I had a Groupon, but I went in for a cut and color. I have wavy long hair, and I’m not picky, so I just explained that I wanted the split ends gone, and most importantly something easy to style both curly and straight. My stylist seemed enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and claimed he could definitely provide an easy style, so I let him cut loads off my hair. He was meticulous to the point of taking 2.6 hrs to cut and color! The color looked great when I left, but despite salon purchased color-​safe shampoo, people who saw me after the weekend (one wash) didn’t even notice a color difference (had gone from copper blond to rich auburn)! ALL the beautiful color was gone in one shampoo. The cut was another disappointment. With much effort it looked cute when I left, but I have never had a more difficult style to manage. I can’t wear my hair even a bit curly, and to leave the house looking reasonable takes extensive effort. When managed properly, straightened, and flipped on the ends, with lots of product, it looks decent, and resembles a late 90s «Rachel», but is in all ways far from the simple, easy style I requested, and won’t even go into a pony tail.
Sad about my experience, and hopeful I can find someone to fix this.

This was my first visit to curb appeal. I usually get my hair cut weekly at a military base but wanted to go somewhere closer to where I live since it was a federal holiday. I had a minimal wait and Dylan did a great job. The price was about 3x what I pay on post but is in line with other places in the old market. I’ll definitely go here again if I need a quick haircut.

I am a huge fan of Curb Appeal! I’ve been a client for almost two years and I am continually delighted with the services! After 2 years of stylist shopping after moving to Omaha, I found Dylan at Curb Appeal and thank goodness! He is an amazing colorist and has barber training in addition to cosmetology training, so he knows how to cut ALL types of hair. I constantly get compliments on cut and color! I get all my services done at Curb Appeal, nails with Katheryn & Jean, facials with Sarah or Lorraine and massage with Marvin. My daughter now gets her hair done with Laura, who is an excellent stylist too, my sister sees Andrew and is thrilled with the results and Mom, who is almost 80, goes to Dylan and absolutely loves him! He has taken 10 years off her look. I love that I have one place to visit for everything and all of the services are superior. In addition, ALL of the staff are incredibly friendly and I honestly look forward to seeing them at every visit. Curb Appeal is what a salon/​spa should be and with the recent updates to the space it is only getting better! I highly recommend for any service!

I would give this place 0 stars if I could. What an awful experience. I was coming into town for a wedding and made an appointment for a friend and me to get shampoos and styles. I made it clear to the receptionist we had to be out of the salon by 4 and she booked us both for 3 pm. I received an appointment confirmation 24 hours in advance and assumed all was well.
When we arrived at the salon for our appointment, we were informed the stylist — only one was there — was running an hour behind. Absolutely no concessions were offered, except offering to «rush through our hair». I understand people run late and all — but I would have been happy with a call earlier for a heads up at the very least. My friend and I had to walk to a corner market to buy styling product to race back to our hotel to do our own hair with the few things we packed in our suitcase. What a bummer when we were looking forward to professional styles for our black tie event.
All in all I like to think it worked out — based on the staff’s hair I saw in the salon I likely wouldn’t have liked what they created anyway so I probably dodged a bullet.
Definitely skip this place — they obviously are too busy trying to be edgy and cool to actually run their business with any fundamentals of customer service.
