Carleen does my partners hair and it has always looked gorgeous when it is done. My partner looks gorgeous anyway but after the hairstyle multiply that times two... keep up the good work.

OMG! I've been coming to Carleen for 12 years now and have tried other hair dressers because I am on the road. Other hairdressers cut my hair when it's wet and it ends up all uneven and crazy. It's always worth it to wait for Carleen. She cuts your hair while it's dry and sees your movement, curls and cuts accordingly. The only bad thing is that she is so busy that I have to plan way ahead to get an appointment.

Carleen and her team ARE THE BEST ! I can’t believe how much time and effort they put in to the education behind caring for your curls and sharing their impressive product line knowledge . Not only did I completely change my regiment , I discovered and learned to appreciate my natural mermaid hair. There is a variety of products to choose from even though you will want THEM ALL ! The salon experience can not be beat with the warm welcome on the name board , back and feet massage times, essential oil therapy , paraffin hand treatment and delicious summer cocktails and mock tails they offer to enjoy ..(which are included in your appointment .!!!) not only that , it’s like fun day for grown ups when you leave with your treat bag and other treasures that Carleen offers to make you feel so appreciated and beautiful . It’s not just a hair appointment it’s the whole Funtime sha-bang . I feel like a superstar that just left the spa when I’m done there . ! Truly awesome and very worth the wait . Carleen has raised the bar !

I’ve been waiting years to have Carleen bless me with her curly hair experience!!! I knew the curls were waiting to be discovered and boy were they ever!!!! Carleen is a curly hair magician who will take you & your mane on an excursion to greatness. The education she provides is priceless and the experience is that of a day at the spa hanging out with lovely, friendly curly enthusiasts. Thank you for discovering my curly potential, Carleen!!! You’re the bees knees & I could not be a happier camper!

Carleen has been doing my hair for 1.5 years now. I found her after having a very bad haircut from yet another typical hairdresser that didn't know how to cut curly hair. Carleen is the diamond of curly hair artists. She has had non stop training and is always looking for new ways to better herself, her techniques, and her wonderful interns. My hair has never seen happier days. It has been so much healthier and curlier because of her techniques. She is not only willing to cut your hair, but she teaches you everything you should know about how to best take care of your curl type. She tries different and new products on your hair and shows you how to apply it. She doesn't let you leave until you are confident in your hair. Not only is she great with hair, she is a genuinely good person with great hugs and an awesome snack and drink bar. When you see Carleen, prepare to be pampered.

I can't even begin to put into words how incredible the experience was with Carleen & her amazing crew! From the curl love to the conversation & the tips & tricks to give my curls love at home... I need more words to express how thankful I am to have found Carleen!! I will absolutely be a forever client! She is AMAZING!

Deena McDevitt

Carleen and her team are AMAZING!!! I have never loved my curls, but after learning how to take care of them and what products to use to hydrate them, I LOVE MY CURLS!!! I even had my curly haired daughter go see her. She's thrilled with her hair now.

In my 59 years, have never had anyone take as good care of my hair as Carleen. My hair is at its healthiest and curliest ever. Plus, she is delightful, dedicated, loving and FUN. An appointment with her is a mini-vacation

** Update Carleen has been repeatedly texting me for the last hour (boy she sure saw this review quick) asking me to remove the review, threatening to ban me from the other 10 curly hair stylists in Reno she has trained over the years, and sending me creepy stalker screenshots of my own business. Stay tuned for more folks... see the screenshots below. I'm white text and Carleen is in green. - In direct to response to to Owner's reply. I posted this review because I spent a lot of time communicating with you and then Jessi, and then driving from Truckee to Reno this morning, only to be told last minute the stylist you recommended was on her way to Sacramento, giving me 40 minutes advance notice of the cancellation. If I was a business owner, I would want to know if the people I am referring business to are taking good care of my clients. So I did exactly that, let you know what happened. I texted back and forth with Carleen, she says she is booked a year in advance and only taking clients that are from referrals from her other clients. Ok, business is great, I get that. But I wish you had put this on your website, so I didn't have to text back and forth with you trying to figure out if I can get an appointment or not. It seems Carleen has invented a screening process for haircut clients, and you must be willing to schedule several haircuts a year in advance and spend a certain amount of money to become a client. Which is fine, whatever I'll pay the $$$ money, I just need a good haircut. Carleen recommends 2 other stylists that she has trained. They don't have websites after I google them, but i figure it's fine I will give them a try because they know what they are doing with curly hair, so it's worth the wait. I text back and forth with the other stylists. Jessi replies back that she has a last minute cancellation for tomorrow (4th of July) and after several exchanges back and forth, Jessi finally agrees "that I'm the right type of client and we can work together". Our appointment was at noon today, and after texting her trying to get the address to the salon, she texts me back that she forgot it was 4th of July today and she is on her way to Sacramento. It's now 40 minutes before the start of our appointment. I delayed my own holiday plans for this appointment, staying in Reno an extra day for this elusive haircut. I sent a text to Carleen to let her know that the stylist she has trained and recommended just dropped me like a hot potato and didn't even give me a text or a call this morning to cancel. She texted back that Jessi has her own independent business, no apology or acknowledgement that this shouldn't have happened. While I'm not mad at Jessi, I get that life happens and we double book ourselves on accident sometimes, I did feel if you are new to Reno area and are not a current client and you're trying to book a haircut for your curly hair, perhaps you should try elsewhere.
