Find best hair and nail salon in Ankeny , IA

I’ve been bleaching my hair for about 3 years now. For the last 1.5 of those years - I’ve lived in 4 different states. That being said, it’s been stressful finding a new hairstylist every time I move. I ha I’ve been bleaching my hair for about 3 years now. For the last 1.5 of those years - I’ve lived in 4 different states. That being said, it’s been stressful finding a new hairstylist every time I move. I had 3-4 horrible experiences in a row with various stylists across America who did not know what they were doing with blonde hair. For that reason, I took about a 7 month break from touching my hair with anything because it was so fried from being improperly bleached. I’ve only been in Iowa for two months and I just now decided to try again. Let me just say I almost cried happy tears when Coco finished with my hair. See my before and after pictures (which are NOT filtered or edited in any way). Prior to this hair appointment, I had high anxiety because I’ve been used to leaving hair salons crying ugly, displeased tears. I’m SO glad I chose to put my trust in someone again. I did some research beforehand and Anani had great reviews so I called and asked for someone who was experienced with blonde hair. I was given an appointment with Coco for this morning. She is PHENOMENAL at what she does. My hair went into her hands as a damaged, dry, and nappy bundle of discolored hay. My hair left her hands feeling healthy and strong, while looking like the hair of someone straight out of a hairstyle advertisement magazine. When she was done after the coloring, treatment, shampoo, toning, and conditioning - I literally about choked up from being so overwhelmingly thankful. Coco is also so, so sweet & her kindness and quirkiness put me at ease for this whole visit. I can’t say enough good things about this salon or her skills. Coco - thank you so so much for giving me my confidence back. more ... less ...

This last time I went in I had an appt at 2:00 on a Saturday. They were extremely busy and clearly overbooked themselves, so I wanted until approx 2:30 before my nails got started. I should mention that this specific manicure was being done for my engagement photo shoot pictures so I expected the same quality that I had previously had. Well, that’s not what I got. The manicure seemed fine initially. But literally the next day, less than 24 hours and 2 nails chipped. There were also uneven ridges in the polish that I did not notice until after i left the salon. Since then, more nails have chipped and several are also peeling. They look horrible and I’m extremely unhappy about it. I do not think I will return to this salon, at least definitely not anytime close to their closing time. more ... less ...

I had a gift certificate that expired in October 2020 - amidst the global pandemic. Now, lovely nails will not allow me to redeem it. Seems very silly.

Now, lovely nails will not allow me to redeem it. Seems very silly. Most businesses give leeway considering COVID-19 kept most people in their homes. Gift certificates are cash. They shouldn’t expire and definitely should still be taken when there was a worldwide pandemic that closed businesses during the time I was “allowed” to redeem it. You lost multiple consistent customers from this decision. Stay humble. more ... less ...
