Really had a great first experience here!! I messed up the date and time of my appointment and they were still able to get me in! Had a simple haircut and got exactly what I was looking for! Got a discount for coming there due to a referral! Coco was awesome! So was Maggie who shadowed Coco! Got a few products as well. Just overall it was a positive experience! Would definitely recommend! Got this little gift also while checking out!

Head Spa. The actual experience was fine. However, it’s been one week and my scalp still hurts. It feels like it’s got some inflammation. The tools used were used to aggressively, I think. I wasn’t asked if the pressure was ok or anything but I did wince a few times. The back of my head was left untouched l, wasn’t even gotten wet. For the money, I expected more. I wouldn’t do it again.

I have wanted a lash lift and tint for a while. I saw a post from Destiny on FB and made an appointment. I am so so happy I did. She made me so comfortable and relaxed during the entire appointment. My lashes look so great, I don’t even need mascara. She explained everything she was doing since this was my first time. Which I appreciated. I can’t wait for my next appointment. Also the front counter staff was so professional and friendly. The salon is clean and beautifully decorated. Do yourself a favor and make an appointment here!

I don’t usually write reviews, but I had an absolutely amazing facial experience with Sophie! She took the time to really listen to my skin concerns and treated them with care and intention. Her knowledge was evident throughout the entire session, and I appreciated how she explained each step and product. The recommendations she gave were spot on—my skin has never felt better! Highly recommend booking with Sophie if you’re looking for personalized and professional facial.

Lily is a trained and terrific stylist for men’s hair! She she checks in continuously through the process and is so kind. I highly recommend her for any man looking for something more than a simple haircut.

I meant to leave a review after I had my hair done but life’s been busy. But Coco did an AMAZING job on my hair. I was so glad she was able to get the pesky Splat dye out of my hair and was able to fix up my failed DIY attempt at removing the hair color. I can’t thank her enough!!
It costed a pretty penny for my situation but it was well worth it!

I attached a before and after picture.

I’ve been bleaching my hair for about 3 years now. For the last 1.5 of those years - I’ve lived in 4 different states. That being said, it’s been stressful finding a new hairstylist every time I move. I had 3-4 horrible experiences in a row with various stylists across America who did not know what they were doing with blonde hair. For that reason, I took about a 7 month break from touching my hair with anything because it was so fried from being improperly bleached. I’ve only been in Iowa for two months and I just now decided to try again. Let me just say I almost cried happy tears when Coco finished with my hair. See my before and after pictures (which are NOT filtered or edited in any way). Prior to this hair appointment, I had high anxiety because I’ve been used to leaving hair salons crying ugly, displeased tears. I’m SO glad I chose to put my trust in someone again. I did some research beforehand and Anani had great reviews so I called and asked for someone who was experienced with blonde hair. I was given an appointment with Coco for this morning. She is PHENOMENAL at what she does. My hair went into her hands as a damaged, dry, and nappy bundle of discolored hay. My hair left her hands feeling healthy and strong, while looking like the hair of someone straight out of a hairstyle advertisement magazine. When she was done after the coloring, treatment, shampoo, toning, and conditioning - I literally about choked up from being so overwhelmingly thankful. Coco is also so, so sweet & her kindness and quirkiness put me at ease for this whole visit. I can’t say enough good things about this salon or her skills. Coco - thank you so so much for giving me my confidence back.

Anani Salon & Spa treated me so well!! My stylist was Coco and she was very easy to have a conversation with, plus she was very precise in cutting/styling my hair! Their products smell so wonderful too!
