- JBJackson BishopOct 1, 20255.0Blerta was amazing! She was extremely detailed and really took the time and effort to make sure everything turned out well. Would highly recommend her for anyone's next haircut!
- DDdalpal dmSep 21, 20255.0Took my pre teen in to get a hair style she wanted and the guy that did it did a great job he looked at the picture he took his time didn't rush at all and it turned out amazing just like she wanted
- WWwillandbenSep 17, 20251.0The Ankeny location is always hit or miss, but today was probably the worst haircut I've ever had. I don't remember the stylist's name, but he had long dreads. He read my notes, asked if that's what I wanted, and said yes. For most of the cut, he followed whatI had written, but at the end, without asking, he put gel in my hair. I didn't want that, and he never asked if it was okay. Then he used some kind of tool that pulled out a lot of my hair, leaving my scalp sore. The end result looks like something a five-year-old could have done. be wearing hats until it grows out, and next time drive to Ames instead. won't be returning to this location.
