Blend and Bright Salon in Ankeny, IA

From the front desk staff to the beverages and snacks to the warm decor I always feel welcome when visiting Blend & Bright.

I regularly visit Blend and Bright for color with Naphtali. I can count her to nail it every time. My hair is healthy and shiny. In the past I've had blonde or golden highlights, but with Naphtali's gift for knowing the best color based on skin tone and such she took me in a new direction. I've never been so happy with my hair color, and regularly receive compliments.

I recently visited Blend and Bright prior to an event, and I was fortunate to have Kara style my hair! She had the experience and knowledge to think fast on her feet and make adjustments based on me showing up with bruising from a recent cupping massage I had earlier that day.

5 out of 5 stars over the course of several visits and many months now!!!!!

I had my color analysis done by Amy S. and feel so much more comfortable finding clothes and make-up that really compliment my skin tone. I have been able to purge so many items from my closet that I loved on the hanger or shopping on-line, but then change out of in the morning.

They sign you into a Facebook group and I have -loved- several recommended colors and knowing when they've been available and where. She greets me by name when I come in for hair appts. and I feel I can reach out with questions about shopping for clothes or make up on the Facebook season group she connects you to.

I've had several highlight lowlight appointments with Abbey and she does a great job adjusting color to my season and knows a lot about House of Colour as well. She is not inexpensive but she has a lot of skill with color. My goal is to keep my long hair youthful , healthy and -not- gray through my 50's and not deal with gray root lines until I need to and she checks all of those boxes.

The owner is fantastic and almost always there. She is genuine, kind, and innovative. She has hired and trained a fabulous staff. This is a high-end place and once you get settled in, they have fantastic, courteous, well-trained staff to help enhance your style and look and elevate it and off continued service after your color analysis. I feel like a million bucks after every service.

I love that I can set up an appointment by text!  They are great at working with my tight schedule.

I booked an appointment for a color, full highlight and hair cut. I was quoted a price of $200 for an estimated time of 3 hours 30 minutes. When my stylist started she never mentioned anything of price adjustments, time or other appointments, she did however state that she was not wanting to do the color I had requested because she felt it would take to long and that it was unnecessary because I was going from brunette to blonde. After 4 hours of foiling my hair she then put me under heat to speed the process and in turn caused chemical burn on my scalp, which She did not share with me, my husband noticed when we got home and was looking at my head because I was feeling pain on my scalp in certain areas. I was never once informed of "upcharges" or "additional charges" for time or product. Which I feel was EXTREMELY misleading and unprofessional. After 5 hours the appointment was finished and I was told I owed $350!! I stated I was quoted a price of $200 this seams outrageous. The owner and stylist went on to state that I was NOT the "normal" client and mine would be $350 for the length of time it took for the stylist to complete my services, (one, of which I never even received...the color). By this time I am very disappointed and insulted by the unprofessional and completely unnecessary comment of myself not being "normal", I am hurt and very disappointed by the actions and comments...not what a women appreciates to hear coming from a professional who's job is to make you feel beautiful and satisfied with there services.
