Salon Aura Appleton

I’ve avoided posting this review for a while, because the people here are really nice, and I feel bad that I didn’t like the haircuts. However, in the couple times that I’ve gone here, it has been an unfortunate experience. I made sure to book the “new client” appointment each time, as it’s supposed to include a consultation with the stylist. However, at the first appointment, the stylist seemed confused when I asked about the consultation, and seemed eager to start the haircut when I tried to explain the reference pictures I brought. My hair ended up being shorter and choppier than I expected. I didn’t want them to try to “fix” it by cutting it even shorter, so I booked with a different stylist the next time. The second stylist at least looked at the pictures I brought, but didn’t ask any questions about which elements I liked (or disliked) in each of the photos. I assumed she understood what I was asking for, but I ended up with very visible layers, when I thought I was asking for a blended look. I had trouble styling my hair for months after that appointment until my hair grew out. I sent an email to the salon that time asking if it was fixable, but they never responded. I got my hair cut today at a different salon with a stylist who looked at the reference pictures with me, let me explain what I was looking for, and asked questions to make sure we were on the same page. The haircut was exactly what I have been trying (and failing) to get at the Ahava salon since I moved to Wisconsin. The “consultation” that they offer with new clients does NOT guarantee that the stylist will actually talk with you about the haircut you want. I cannot recommend this salon, or at the very least cannot recommend the two women who cut my hair.

I would highly reccomend Ahava Salon! I had my bridal hair done here along with my five bridemaids, my mom, and mother in law. I had my hair mostly down, but all of the bridesmaids had updos. Everyone loved their hair and everything was done by the time they said it would be done by. All of the girls there were so nice and I loved my hair!

Absolutely wonderful salon! I'm from out of town & really wanted a fresh haircut, and I was lucky enough to get booked with Tamra. Her and the receptionists were so warm & welcoming. Tamra listened exactly to what I wanted and explained every step to me, she was lovely to talk to. My hair turned out better than I imagined! Thank you!
