Reviews of Estilo Salon and Day Spa (Hairdressing)

Leanna Klein

I absolutely love Estilo Salon! I have been going there for 5 years, and Alisha is great! She has worked with me to find the best style and also corrected other salon's mistakes! Estilo has won me over completely and I recommend them to anyone!

This is not the salon and spa that it once was. I've been very disappointed in the spa services lately. In the last few weeks, I have received several facials from Estilo. In that time, I have put up waiting 45 minutes past my appointment time, feeling like the esthetician was rushing through the treatment by not offering much pampering that you would expect from a spa. This is how my last appointment went: Appointment time was for 12:15 pm. Waited 1/2 hr. Approach the front desk and inform them that I have been waiting. They proceed to tell me the esthetician has been running behind all day -- all day. So I'm thinking why didn't they call to reschedule? They said one client showed up extremely late. Why didn't they deny her services for being late instead of causing the other customers the inconvenience? I've come to the conclusion that they do not care! They didn't care that I waited over a half hour. They didn't care about the shortcuts in my treatment. They didn't care to offer any kind of discount for the inconvenience. They didn't even care enough to call prior to the appointment to tell me about the setback. The owner of Estilo knew all this was going on and just looked at me with a smile. Obviously, she chose to act clueless and she didn't care. I had to hear 3 times about a broken clock during my appointment. I'm supposed to be relaxing. Please don't tell me about your broken clock. I've always tipped quite well at Estilo for the services I receive. This day I did not tip. ...The 2 receptionists made eye contact with each other. They smirked, and then they looked at me as if to be appalled about not tipping. ... I guess when it came down to it, they cared about the tip. ...But I Didn't Care! They've never once called to try to make things right for a customer that has been with them for 12+ years. 45 Minute Wait + Inadequate Services = No More Business For You

Absolutely AMAZING!! Had my hair done by Laura and my makeup done by Laurie for my wedding, and I could not have imagined it better myself!! Took away a lot of stress of the day, no matter what I was going to look Fabulous!

Wilhelmus VanderKallen

Mallory Soda is the Best! Ask for her :)

Karin Guy

Great color & cut. Friendly, professional & fun.

Ruhee A. McCracken

Amazing. Perfect. Consistent. I have had hair cuts, foot massage, regular massage, facials, pedicures, and highlighting done here and it's fabulous. I love their package deals for valentines or Mother's Day. Booking online is so incredible and I love it. And they are at a great location and the staff is fabulous! I highly recommend this place!!!!

Katherine Ward

I chose Estilo Salon for my wedding hair and makeup and they were phenomenal!! Faith Berry did my wedding updo. She did a great job listening to me in the trial and created a beautiful do that matched my style and went well with my veil! You can tell she’s passionate about what she does. She was even helpful at talking to me and calming down my nerves the day of the wedding. Highly recommend her! Carissa Launderville did a lovely job on my wedding makeup! She made sure it was natural while still making me feel like a beautiful bride. It was very flattering on my skin tone and didn’t irritate my sensitive skin at all! She's also really sweet and I could tell she was having fun!

Jennifer Doss

Great place. I came here after traveling to get a massage and facial to relax, they managed to squeeze me in when I desperately needed it. Very relaxing, nice place, good environment. A little pricey (for Des Moines, not compared to larger cities), but you also get what you pay for, definitely. Definitely worth it!!

had a shellac manicure today. Girl asked if they looked ok--upside down they did. When i got outside i could see the brush strokes. Awful manicure. waste of money. Now i have to pay to get them taken off.

Draguna Deumic

They are very professional.

Megan Davies

Everyone is really nice and the salon is always clean! Pricing is reasonable and I love the salon layout. The ladies that work there always do a great job with my hair and help me with products to keep it protected. Hailee Griffin is a great hair stylist!

Linda Blackburn

Lacey gave me a wonderful pedicure - thank you!

David Kisler

Estilo is a great place to have your friends and family get a haircut and other things like pedicure and manicure plus massage lots of great people plus they provide a wonderful cup of coffee of your choice.

Julie Ingram

My daughter and I got facials together. Carissa and Renee were amazing! My face feels so good. I highly recommend them!

Laura Sanders

The first time I went here I got my nails done by Emmy and she did an AMAZING job. I honestly don't plan on going anywhere else to get my nails done. It was typical nail salon prices, maybe on the higher end, but it is honestly worth it because Emmy is SO nice and does such a good job. In your first visit to the salon you get coupons off future services, which is nice and also the reason I decided to go back and get my hair done here. I went to a nice girl who did a wonderful job, but the place she was cutting my hair was very awkward. It was literally 3 feet from the door and one foot from the register. I felt like everyone coming and going was staring at me. And the price listed online says hair cuts are 35+ and they mean PLUS. I had a 10 off coupon and a coupon for a free brow waxing and it came to $57!! And I obviously had to leave a tip. I'm sorry, but that is a lot for a college student and I even used a freaking $10 coupon. The lady also didn't do anything fancy to my hair. She washed, cut, and barely blew out my hair. I'm sorry, but I am not going back to get my hair done there. If you can afford a nearly $70 (plus a hefty tip!) cut then go for it! But I know there are TONS of other places in Des Moines you can go and get the same quality hairstyle for 30 bucks...

Mika Waite

Okay, let me start this first by saying that my 17 year old cousin was the one with this experience and that we WILL be in there this evening to get a complete refund. Yesterday, she went to Estilo to get more blonde and pink hi lights placed in her hair. When I tell you that she left and was bawling because of the mess of a job that Brittany did, I mean it. We all know how important our hair is to us as adults but to a 17 year old its even more important. You guys should have reenable to look at her hair and see that it is not what she asked for. As I stated, we will be in this evening for a COMPLETE refund.

Emina Bakalbasic

Nice hair salon, but after getting my nails done I was very disappointed with the quality of my shellack manicure. The same night that I had my nails done, one of my nails chipped. I didn't do any labor work that would provoke this nail chip. I was disappointed, but didn't decide to write a review. 2 days later a total of 4 of my nails chipped. A week later 4 of my nails just peeled clean off. They were already basically hanging off at this point. Shellack nails should last at least 2-3 weeks, and mine barely lasted a week.

Chad

Brittany does the best mens hair cut I have had in a long time, worth every penny. Thanks ;)

Melissa Hale

Love Samira

Jana Belle

Really great salon. Great service. Hillary is awesome!!

Amy Payne-Johnson

Been going to this salon since before it opened up as Estilo.

Raelle E

The ladies here are ever so friendly! When you want professional service and the outcome to be exactly what you want every time, Estilo is the place. I fully trust them and am a committed customer. Karina's expertise with hair and color definitely proves itself. I've never recieved so many compliments on the colors used on my hair. Very much recommend her and the team at Estilo!

Darlene Rose

I have been going to Estilo for years and never left with a bad cut or color from David. He is very good.

Ann Miller

WAY OVER PRICED! Had a mani & pedi and within a week I needed a REAL pedi! Very cosmetic and that part isn't worth the price. I would not go back...for $70 you should get at least bottled water & not tap water....bad experience!

Sue Mostek

Good salon but way too expensive.

Emily Fairbairn

This was my first and unfortunately last time at this salon and spa. I got my eyebrows waxed and had Michaela Balaski. She was very nice but did not do a good job. I have been to many salon and spas before and this is just unacceptable. Very nice staff but not happy with the results. I would not recommend this place for eyebrow waxing.

Heather Kingery

Excellent work done here- my favorite nail expert Brie did my pedicure yesterday felt so pampered. Did the pedicure with my teenage niece and she LOVED it (she was used to all the mini mall pedicures). Toes look terrific and they did need work! Now, need to book a hair appointment with my stylist there- it's been awhile. Great place!!

Becki Sullivan

Viki was my massage therapist . First time she'd worked on me . I said before we started that I could handle pretty deep pressure . She deliver perfectly ! Definetly recommend her !

Amy Strutt

Consistently great service. The physical layout of the salon is a bit odd, but the staff is very friendly, professional, and talented.

Jessica Kephart

Love this place - they are always so nice, and do a great job with manis and pedis :)

Chelssy Cole

I've only had one bad experience. She still did a good job but just not at all what I asked for.

Mallory Huff

Great massage! Would recommend.

Lindsay Prothero

Horrible service! I took my daughter to have an ombre done and it came out horrible! half the side the ombre goes abover her ear and the other side you can't even see the ombre. Tried to reschedule with someone else that could fix it and give her what she wanted and they refused to let her see anyone else in the salon! I even told them I would pay oif they would just have someone else capable of doing it correctly fix it, but still refused. I will be taking her to a different salon tonight to get it fixed!

Ju Co

Not impressed with my pedicure. Took well over an hour and had to redo at home later. Disappointing!

k g

Best salon in the Des Moines & surrounding area. Annie is amazing!!

Kristi Cox

Terrible. I googled nicest salon in Des Moines and this salon came up. ITS NOT. Scheduled for high lite touch up and trim. Two different people doing each. Highlite first. They are super brassy uneven and chunky and don't go to my scalp. When hair still wet I was taken to another person to cut it. Color not even checked. No one talked to me or even tried to make conversation. I felt like an inconvenience and couldn't wait to get out of there. My hair looks worse than before the service. Now I get to go spend more money somewhere else to fix this hair.

Richard Barnes

Came in at 3:00 and I guess they really wanted to leave because as soon as it got close to closing time they basically gave up and ruined the back of my head AND my 12 year old daughters hair. Both of us have extremely uneven hair in the back and the “styling” they did for my daughter consisted of teasing out the hair on the top of her head causing split ends. Guess we hit amateur hour, will never be going back.

michael thompson

Korina has been cutting my hair for years, she is quite talented and a consummate professional

Brittany Peterson

Absolutely the most amazing salon for lash extensions. Laurie is very talented and they have reasonable prices. The lashes they use are light and natural, they are very knowledgeable about the process and are always properly applied, one extension per lash. Absolutely the best quality and service around. They cannot be beat for lash extensions. Highly recommend.

Ashley Block

I absolutely love going to Estilo to get my hair done. My stylist- Michaela Meyer- is amazing. She not only does my hair perfectly to what I want but she also helps me with my hair issues and what my hair NEEDS. I always come to my appointment feeling horrible about my hair and leave feeling confident. She has become someone I’m blessed to know. Highly recommend her to all.

Heidi Hendrickson

I get my haircut, colored and massages at Estillo's. The staff is incredible, great service well worth the money!
