Best Hair Salons In Columbia

“**Update**
I definitely still give five stars. If I could give more I would. I met again with Maggie this time we did a color and style. Her knowledge and experience definitely shows and I can see why she is a Master stylist. She spent the time needed to make sure my hair looked great (see picture). From beginning to end, the process was relaxing and enjoyable. Great conversation and I really appreciated the extra care she put into my hair and overall experience. I recently made an appointment for my 9-year-old daughter and she took care of her as well giving her a cute and stylish cut. It made my daughter's first salon experience a great one. My mom has an appointment next week, so it looks like we found our place ?

What a wonderful experience! Fair prices and great quality of work. I have never had someone take so much time and care to discuss my hair. The salon is clean, fresh, and open. They have friendly and kind employees and great conversation! I met with Maggie and I can't say enough about her. She's knowledgeable and well skilled which made me feel comfortable and relaxed with my hair in her hands. She was honest and explained things to me in a way I understood and listened when I shared what I'd like. 10/10 highly recommend ☺️

Stylist: Maggie was wonderful! Very knowledgeable and friendly, definitely has a way with hair especially curly hair.“

“Great experience! Amy did
n awesome job on my hair n my brows. Very Pleasent experience. 5 stars“

“Best haircut of my entire life by Helen.
It's not easy having thick curly hair and barbers really like to clip through it quickly. Helen gave me a careful haircut with intention. She really paid attention to the details and treated me very professionally. I left feeling confident and in love with my own hair, a feeling I usually don't experience. I can't stop running my fingers through these luscious locks!

Edit: the second haircut was awesome too. Helen tried new things and I couldn't have asked for a better cut. She is professional and her styling experience lends to a great experience for me. The time between haircuts is more manageable than ever for me, which I love because my hair grows crazy fast. I get compliments from strangers and loved ones alike, even a compliment from my own mother who has a vendetta against my poofy hair ever since I rebelled against her with an afro in highschool.“

“She was amazing and understood what I wanted. She is very knowledgeable and is truly a professional in her field. Highly recommend her. She made me feel beautiful about my self again. You won’t be disappointed with her service and amazing personality.“

“Melodi Beach is amazing in every way! A creative, skilled and very experienced stylist, she takes as much time as necessary to listen and understand her client's requests and needs. The atmosphere of the salon is welcoming and refreshing in every way. An oasis in the heart of downtown Columbia. I always leave with all that I expected and also very uplifted.“

“Stephanie did an incredible job transforming my hair. She was transparent throughout the entire process & was very efficient. The salon provides a very comfortable professional environment as well. I was really impressed with the results; better than I expected and I am very thankful.“

“Mary is the best. She does my lashes and it looks so good and they last a very long time.“

“Great venue for gatherings, which is why we were there.
Gracious hosts, as well.“

“My friends and I stumbled upon this place while wandering around CoMo! It was such a beautiful art gallery, with the cutest little farmers market and live music. The art gallery manager was so kind and even had an arts and crafts station set up to make flags to decorate for the market. Overall, such a great experience surrounded by nice and inviting people, good music and beautiful art!“

“I had an appointment with a different salon in town that cancelled on me same day. However, I had an event to attend that I HAD to have my hair done for. So, I gave Mrs. Betty a call and she worked me in that day. She did an AMAZING job on my cut and color. She is also very personable and includes you in the process. 10/10 recommend!“

“I cannot fully put into words how wonderful, attentive and talented Brittany is. I haven’t felt like myself in months and she worked her magic with my hair and I feel the prettiest and most confident I have felt in a long, long time. Highly, highly, highly recommend (enough for me to leave a public review).“

“Emily is consistently on time, a significant plus when you need to get in and out on a busy day! And she is consistently...consistent. :D I have not been disappointed a single time in three years! Highly recommend!“

“As a gentleman dealing with acne-prone skin, I was a little nervous about getting a chemical peel for the first time, but my experience at Renew Wellness Spa was excellent. Megan was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. She took the time to explain everything, answered all of my questions, and tailored the treatment to my skin concerns. My skin already feels smoother and looks healthier. Highly recommend Megan if you’re looking for skincare treatments in a welcoming environment!“

“Christy did a good job on my hair. She was very pleasant, & I will be going back to her from now on
.“

“Had a fantastic color job by Lindsey C. at Salon Nefisa in Columbia. I am hard to please, and I am just thrilled with the color! She listened to what I wanted, looked at my example, and told me exactly what she was going to do. Easy to chat with, but chilled when I needed quiet time. All around awesome experience! Definitely going back.“

“Reliably good. Expertise does depend on who you get. I’ve been using this salon since 2018, everything from nails to makeup to hair to wedding up do. Generally friendly and kind stylists who take their time, never felt rushed here. Price is great. A bit older fashioned, but I have tried other salons and predictably come back every time.“

“Oh my gosh! So I have been afraid to get my hair cut in Columbia for the last 5 years I have continue to drive to Kansas City. On a whim I reached out to do color services etc. I did not make an appointment for those services yet, I had a hair emergency l; I needed it cut bad! I reached out to Anastasia, while she was full the days I was available she was able to get me in with Kat. When I arrived and walked in I was blown away! The space is welcoming, comfortable and instantly I felt I was in a safe space which is very important. Kat absolutely slayed the haircut, she actually listened to what I wanted as far as cut and style. I cannot wait to see what magic she can work with the color!! 10:10 will come back again. They have created a loyal client, the way they both went out of their way to make this a smooth process was absolutely incredible!

Real hair with real people in 2025 why can’t we all model our business this way.“

“I had my first pedicure with Casey a while back! Casey made me feel so confident, comfortable and welcome! She is a master at her art and hooked me up with some great Aveda products! The service was amazing! I will be back!“

“I cannot recommend Uplifted highly enough! From our trial to the big day, they were incredibly professional, kind, and so talented. Kaylee really took the time to understand the look I was going for and made me feel like the absolute best version of myself—elegant, natural, and glowing!

On the wedding day, Kaylee and Sidney arrived right on time, kept everything on schedule, and created such a calm, fun atmosphere while getting everyone ready. My hair and makeup lasted all day and night—through tears, dancing, and everything in between—and looked flawless in every photo.

My bridal party and mom were also obsessed with their looks! Everyone felt beautiful and confident, and the styles were cohesive but still personalized. If you're looking for someone who is skilled, easy to work with, and makes you feel truly special, look no further than Uplifted!“

“Broadway Hair Co has a welcoming atmosphere and Allison Redding never fails to give me a great shampoo/cut. I love that I could leave the salon looking “finished” even if she didn’t dry and style my hair.“

“Sarah is the best! I called in with a botched haircut emergency and she got me in and cut within 20 minutes. Cannot recommend her more, especially with the timeframe of the cut and quality.“

“I’ve been to Kleigh about four times now for both color and cuts, and her layering skills are amazing! I searched for a long time to find someone who could work with my thick, wavy hair, and she absolutely nails it every time. She’s fun, easy to talk to, and communication is never an issue. I’m definitely sticking with Kleigh!“

“Jaylynn at Foxy Boss is wonderful! She did an amazing job on my haircut and was lovely to chat with.“

“Paige did a wonderful job on my massage. She was very caring and making sure the pressure was good and any areas that needed extra attention. The facial was fabulous.“

“The salon experience here is unmatched. It’s high end and a great experience and I got EXACTLY WHAT I ASKED FOR. Ashlee took my roots down to make me a more natural looking blonde blonde color and it looks perfect like the hair she blended gre out of my head. She did such an amazing job. Kelsey, the owner was around helping blow dry and was just so nice talking to me about my life! I hate to burden people with facts of my life but sometimes talking to strangers about the crap you’ve been through can be very healing. Between Kelsey and Ashley I walked out of Bespoke with a new and perfect hair color/cut and a great feeling! They also have a shop dog named Hooch who is so adorable! I’ve already scheduled my 8 week gloss sppointment because I loved every aspect of my experience!“
