Ottalaus Salon

"Originally went in a few weeks ago to get some curtain bangs to give more shape and Liv suggested that I should have an actual haircut as well. She didn’t make me feel like I had to and that I did have a choice but explained how damaged my hair actually was and didn’t make me feel dumb for not taking better care of my hair. I couldn’t get the split ends taken care of at that appointment so I booked my next appointment for this week. I got a few inches taken off and I did a deep condition as well and even though it’s been a few days my hair has never felt or looked this healthy in a long time! I’m so happy with the way my hair looks and feels and has boosted my confidence tremendously! I always have a hard time at hair salons because I’m pretty shy and feel awkward in situations where I have to talk to another person, but my stylist made this a comfortable experience! Not only my stylist but the receptionist made me feel welcome as well! Thank you so much for giving my hair new life! Will never go anywhere else!!"

"Amanda always does a phenomenal job! Our conversations are comfortable and the cleanliness of the salon makes me feel at ease. Amanda’s color formulas always make me feel my best and she does such a great job. I’m moving soon and will continue to drive farther as long as she’s here."

"I went in for a balayage back in mid November. I did a color consult with the stylist first (Starr) and then did the color a couple weeks later. In both the consult and day of, I told her that I wanted a chocolate, brown, dessert-y color, decidedly not blonde. She seemed to understand and we proceeded. While I have had my hair colored before, it's been done sporadically, so I can't speak as if I know what every part of the process is or how long it should take. It felt as if the bleaching process took majority of the appointment because of the amount of hair. However, the foils she did first never got removed until she removed all of them, somewhere in the realm of at least an hour. I sat at the bowl for a similar amount of time with the toner. When it came time to cut, it was only a trim (in retrospect, I should have skipped it because a trim doesn't warrant the same $50 as a haircut). The toner didn't take, apparently. So my hair was simple bleached to a brassy blonde. She had run out of time and asked if I wanted another stylist to retone or come back after the weekend. I opted for after the weekend. However, once I left the salon, I was in tears and didn't want to go back, so I didn't. The color was everything I didn't want, it was so badly damaged from over exposure to the bleach, and it was too much money for what I got (was out $275). I eventually just chopped off around 10 inches because my hair only looked better after using heat tools (because the natural curl pattern was so damaged so no air drying anymore) and it was getting worse. While I'm sure there are competent stylists who know what they're doing, this instance wasn't a reflection of that and I feel like in the sea of 5 star reviews, someone should share a different experience."

"Kylie is very professional and friendly. She has passion in what she does and listens to customers’ needs and work with customers. She does my hair and my children. I have shoulder length hair and my daughters have long hair. We all love her work. Highly recommend her."

"My stylist was Liv! Being in her chair truly feels like a minky couture blanket so soft and delicate and fluffy! Such a comfortable salon and so fun! Liv brings the chair to life with color and cut! Absolutely stunning soul she has!! Highly recommend this salon!! You will leave relaxed and beautiful!!"
