STAIY SALON in Omaha, NE

Such a fun trendy place. I went in for a little change and walked out a new me. Sandy and Staiy were awesome!!  The atmosphere is so fun- everyone is included. I'm so glad I found a place to go after moving here.

I am a loyal customer of Staiy Salon! I think of Staiy as a hair artist. I arrive tired and frumpy, but when Staiy does her hair magic, I depart feeling energized and beautiful!

Yeah... my hair was poop with less then 6 months before my wedding and was saved like no other!! Had my hair done the day of with all the girls and Moms and we all looked so amazing on the day. It was because I was treated so well on the visits leading up to the Big Day.

I had a hard time deciding how many stars to give. This was my first and last time here. It was very chaotic when I first walked in. I stood there for a few minutes before I was greeted (no one had a client they were just all crowded around the front desk chatting). I didn't feel welcomed from the beginning.

Overall the end result of my color and cut is fine. The color looks good, albeit uneven, and the trim is what I wanted. When I booked online, it said it would be $160. I booked a haircut (which was actually just a slight trim and thinning) and all over full highlights. I expected it to be slightly more than that due to using toner and extra developer--maybe around $220.
However, it was almost $200 more--$345! I was dumbfounded and didn't want to create a scene so I just paid and left.

My advice having lived all over the Midwest and going to several different salons (including super posh salons): if you want to charge $350 for highlights and a trim, you need to first be upfront about it, really deep clean the salon, create a more welcoming atmosphere for clients, offer them a beverage right away, and work faster. This was not a $350 experience.

Ever feel like you've ended up at a casino that happens to do hair, and you feel like you're gambling your money away because it might be great? Which means it could also be not-so-great?

QUIT GAMBLING AND JUST BOOK AN APPOINTMENT HERE. I found STAIY SALON and can confirm it's a beautiful salon full of talented people! Full of "forever stylists", I swear.

First visit and won't be my last. Staiy's squad are savants in hair. They took what I had in my brain and put it on my head, AND made it look far better than I could have EVER thought possible. I've never been so in love with my hair.

Brytani gave me a base melt and Leo gave me my haircut. Both perfected the ask.

What they also gave me was insight for future visits. They listened to what I do and don't like, understood why, taught me some things, and gave me a look that will last with my busy schedule and allow me to book when is convenient (even if that's once or twice per year) versus preaching an "every 6-9 week" routine. Needless to say, it has made me super excited to come back.

I'm not the pickiest about my hair, but do feel it's easy (for whatever reason) to give me hair that doesn't compliment my facial features/skin tone well -- whether that be color or cut.

Brytani with the base melt... It looks unbelievably natural and perfect for me; she knew how to address my most recent highlights (IMO, too harsh of blonde stripes that were applied up to my scalp by a **different** salon in the area... not a bad job if you're entirely blonde; just not good for me personally). Not an easy task for someone unless they have incredible artistic ability. What I used to dislike about my hair has now been transformed into this unbelievably beautiful, natural-looking everlasting color. Also, the massage during the washing process of my hair was sooo beyond soothing. I do not often relax and that just put me into such a zen state.

Leo with the haircut... Took my hair that was dead, wearing me -- and shaped it up into a beautiful cut. I said no layers and he didn't give me any! Can't say how surprising this is! Everyone wants to cut layers in but Leo gave me my single-length blunt cut I was looking for. Then, after talking with me and giving me the "why" as to how it would elevate the cut for my face, he put some very soft face-framing in, and I LOVE IT. The whole cut is simply gorgeous and compliments Bryt's color work.

Staiy is the definition of a very engaged owner and it shows. It is evident to me that her team feels supported by her, she has great energy, and I'm so happy she's in this business because you'd think she invented it. What a strong, hardworking woman!

I'll be begging my friends without forever stylists to go to STAIY SALON. They made me love getting my hair done again. TLDR: Get your butt in one of these chairs!!!
