Got in for a same day appointment. Dzennana was fun and really revamped my hair with a quick wash and cut. She also gave me some good advice!

Ania Hair Studio and Spa is the best salon to go to in the capital region. The staff and crew at the salon are wonderful and the owner is the nicest person you will ever meet. My haircuts are always top tier and I get the best service every time I go get a haircut. You always feel welcomed and leave feeling great.

I go to Ania's for my hair, my skincare, and all my products! I usually go to Vilma for my hair and Hailey for my facials! I always leave feeling so beautiful and confident. Everything is so reasonably priced and the atmosphere is so welcoming and enjoyable. I always look forward to my appointments!

Beautiful interior and private booths. Large enough to be a full service salon. The stylists seem up to date with all the current techniques. I was surprised and pleased to see they have a nicely secluded wig fitting area. The location is ideal with plenty available parking. Thier only down side is that they are a bit on the pricey side. Beauty never did come cheap.

DZENANA! I will NEVER see any other hair stylist than her again or visit any other salon. Ever had a day where you decide to bleach your hair at home and it goes horribly wrong? SHE WILL FIX IT. Ever dreamed of going platinum? She'll make it happen. She is always there for my emergency hair tips day or night, my horrible DIY mistakes, and everything in between. She is the only person I'd ever trust with my hair again, and the only person I'd ever take beauty advice from. Also a wonderful human in general. Ania salon has the best stylists, a beautiful salon & the best products at a fair price. Don't waste your time anywhere else- trust me & you'll never regret it!
