I went here a couple times and had an appt for june 3 scheduled over a month in advanced. Just found out today, june 2, that the stylist is leaving so my appt was cancelled. I leave for a trip in less than 5 days and I was really counting on this because I needed my hair done extremely bad. I'm more disappointed that I found out the day before that my appt was cancelled and that they had absolutely no availability within the next few days. I get salons are busy but I had my appt for over a month and this would've been nice to know a few weeks ago so I could get another one scheduled.

I absolutely love my stylist. The chatting and laughing while getting my cut makes me feel like we have been great friends for ever. Fantastic cut and style.

I went here after another Ankeny salon wrecked my hair. The vesta stylist was honest & told me I really needed to let my hair grow out to fix it. She didn't try to sell me on services that I didn't need-she was honest! I'm so glad I listened & will continue to do business here. They've done an excellent job on my hair~I highly recommend!
