Hair Body & Sole

Update: My stylist reached out and offered to help fix the concerns I have about how my hair turned out and offered to get me in quickly. I'm impressed with the dedication to client satisfaction and I appreciate the reach out. Updating to 4/5 stars for great client care. Original review (2/5 stars): I went in looking for something shorter, lighter, and fun for the summer.

I wanted something that blended well and looked as natural as possible. My hair was not previously colored at all. I left pretty disappointed with how my hair turned out. Unfortunately, my highlights turned out orange, chunky, and uneven, and my curly cut was shelfy and not blended well. I also had an eyebrow appt during the same visit but after 4.5 hours for my hair my stylist's next client was waiting, I didn't have time, and no one mentioned it so I didn't, either.

On the positive side, my stylist was sweet as pie, the salon is super cute and comfortable, and if my hair had turned out well I would be leaving a glowing review like the rest! Maybe it was a fluke.

Overall, this is an amazing hair salon(and spa) that really cares about their clients Update 2: I took the offer to redo my hair and the owner Lisa was the one who helped me. She was so nice and showed she cared and was thoughtful the whole time. She's been doing hair for 30+ years and is so amazing, she knew I had colored my hair in the past just by looking at my ends.

She gave my hair the treatment we spoke about(which was a straight perm) and added a trim, all at no charge. She even gave me this awesome gift box of Pureology Strength hair stuff including shampoo, conditioner, leave-in, and dry shampoo. Updated:After seeing my experience wasn't ideal from my review, the owner called me and offered to give me a free service to try and achieve the results I want with my hair.

She was super kind and considerate about the whole thing. I love knowing this salon really cares about their customers Will update again after resolution is complete. I went here for a hair treatment I had researched and decided to get and they strongly recommended a different treatment that cost over twice the price. We discussed what I wanted to get from the treatment and my hair habits and they still recommended the more expensive one so I decided to go with their idea.

It has been a little over a week and the treatment will last about 3 months and it is not even vlose to what I wanted. I am extremely disappointed to have spent hundreds of dollars on something entirely unhelpful to me.

I've never written a bad review and I feel really uncomfortable doing this, but I'm even more uncomfortable with my hair right now. I went to Hair Body & Sole Salon for the first time last week to get a curly cut. If you have curly hair I would NOT recommend this salon. I've had the Deva cut before and have never had it cut so blunt. It's like I have shelves in my hair.

I straightened it to show how horribly choppy it is. It looks bad curly too unfortunately. When the hair stylist was cutting my hair I noticed she did very little texturizing, but a lot of straight across cutting, but figured she was still doing a Deva cut. She was polite, the place was clean, I even thought I liked it until I was able to touch it and could feel whole gapes in my hair.

I was mortified as I kept looking more at my hair and realized it was also uneven in many places. At this point I don't want them to touch my hair, I just want it to grow out. So I called about a refund, had a bit of a miscommunication, but then found that they don't do refunds but wanted me to come in so they can look at it. I offered to show them pictures because I didn't see what could be done.

If there's no chance of a refund and I don't want them to touch my hair, then why am I driving to their salon? So overall, this is the worst haircut of my life, I've been crying for days about it. If you have curly/wavy hair, I'm sure you know how hard it can be to find stylists that specialize in haircuts for the hair type, and unfortunately, I don't believe they have the techniques for it. So I'm out $72 and hope to prevent someone else from this mistake.

Nicki did an amazing job on my hair today, got exactly what I wanted and more! Cute little salon and very reasonably priced. Definitely recommend.

My daughter and I have been going to Hair Body and Sole since my daughter was 4 years old (now in her 20's). Great service, great hair stylists, fun and friendly staff, combined with super safe and clean setting and timely services keep us coming back! Love this place! Highly recommend you try this place! You too will want to keep coming back.

Positive: Cleanliness, Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Value Emily is really sweet and professional, she's really easy to talk to and always makes me feel comfortable! Definitely my favorite stylist I've had- she does great work:)) Services: Haircut, Highlights, Balayage, Hair coloring

I got my teeth whitened by Nicki @hairstylesbynicki and my teeth look AMAZING! She was so sweet and professional, I was a little nervous that my gums would be painful after, but she takes measures to prevent that and my gums feel totally fine, and i was lucky enough that she had time to style my hair after! 100% recommend! Nicki is awesome and the whole place is super nice and clean!

I had such a delightful experience here with my mother in law. The gals who did our facials and nails were so friendly but also very professional. We got the best of both worlds, a quality spa experience topped with warm and welcoming energy. I will definitely be back for more services!

I always have such a lovely time when ever I visit! I get my hair cut by Emily and she's always open to trying new things as well as hearing my needs and concerns for my hair. She's very personable and does such a wonder Job on my hair every time. I've been seeing her now for over a year and I can't see myself having anyone else cut and style my hair

I love this Salon and all the people there! My husband and daughter are a client of Lisa too! We have gone there for possibly 15 years! They are THE BEST in hair coloring! Lisa is always enthusiastic and committed to giving the best! I always feel spoiled and cared for! Lisa is also passionate about giving and takes care of cancer patients with such dignity and love!

Absolutely do not recommend this place. I was a regular customer for 3 years. Service got worse and worse. Rachel was supposed to be the manager yet she often double booked appointments and I had to wait a long time even though I had an appointment. Her hair cuts got worse and worse. She rarely spoke to me and never thanked me. I switched to Lisa, the owner, who gave me one good haircut and two bad ones.

The last hair cut was crooked. Lisa has a beauty school in there and trains people on paying customers without their permission. That is what happened to my hair. Lisa was not paying attention to me and did a bad job because she was 'training' a new person without asking me if that was ok. She also has a foundation for cancer patients she runs out of this salon.

Very depressing to say the least. There used be a lot of stylists there but now hardly anyone is there and the ones left are nasty. Vey expensive. The last time I went in Lisa did not even say thank you or good bye. Just walked away from me to do laundry and of course wanted 140.00 for that crappy service she did on my hair. I found a good stylist in Eugene who does an awesome job, is nice to me and is a lot less money!

I left this place several years ago because of the wait and the fact that I was ignored by my own hair stylist as she walked by me with another client while I was waiting. It used to be much better but now I have found a place where they work on time and cherish their clients.

Short version: Make sure you keep track of how much your stylist charges - they have levels of some kind. And things get added on. Mine cost 115. without a cut and my med blond I picked out ended up orange.-ish. I went to Grace because I have problem hair and she is supposed to be a specialist in color. After toning twice it was still orange. I had a special occasion I had to attend with my hair a color I hated.

There was no apology from Grace, or the owner. She was polite when I went back for the second toning but I got the impression she thought I was being unreasonable. Writing a dissatisfied review isn't something I like to do, but I feel I need to inform others about my experience. It's taken me 2 months to try to be as positive and objective as I can.

I told Grace from the start how I had a limited budget but had problem hair and needed a good color. And I was going away for an important party. At first she was pleasant and helpful. Before my hair was even dry I could tell it was way too light. She toned it. I told her it looked orange and she suggested I use purple shampoo. I went home but called the next day to tell her it was just not a good color.

She got me in right away and toned it again. It was better. But no apology and really gave me the impression that she thoughtI was being picky. I went on my trip and observed that my color got a bit redder each day. When I got back I talked to the owner. She suggested another stylist would be "a better fit" for me. Since Grace had made me feel uncomfortable I said ok at first.

I asked that she (the owner) do my hair but she didn't have time. So I made an appointment with the other stylist. But the more I thought about it, the more I thought that another processing wouldn't be good for hair already over processed so I canceled. Two months later, my hair still has an orange tone, and I still hate it. I use the purple shampoo to minimize the unwanted color but that's harsh on my hair. What to do? It's not quite red enough to be Ronald McDonald, and it's too cold to shave my head!

Tiara and the staff here are amazing. Tiara listens and really takes pride in making my challenging hair the best it can be. She is the only person who has ever wanted to cut my curls while dry, which means she really knows what she's doing. I'll never go anywhere else! I even got a free mini facial last time because I got there early. I totally recommend!

The lady Rachel was NOT friendly. She acted like she was better than everybody. She had no smile n was very unpleasant. She was unbelievable, if she hates her job so much she should go work elsewhere. I got a massage from another lady. Tall skinny ( don't remember her name ) she was very nice. BUT. she asked me what do you need work on most. I told her my tail bone and feet.

And guess what she did NOT touch my tail bone and 2 min on my feet. What the hell? That made me NEVER want to go back there again. I couldn't wait till my massage was over. Anyhoo the front dear lady was very nice. But sorry never again will I go there

Dahlia is my favorite stylist and does an amazing job on my nails and hair. I've been hesitant to color my hair due to prior bad experiences at overpriced salons. Dahlia took the time to listen to what I wanted, show me pictures of the cut and color and pays such close attention to detail my new cut and color correct prior problems and is just what I wanted.

She made my hair look classy and nice and has great product recommendations. She is always happy to show me style techniques too, even once when I was in just for nails. Her same attention to detail on nails makes her the only person I'll see for shelac. She gets them fully covered, equal color and seals the ends in a way that makes them last three weeks.

Over all pretty good. It would be a four or five star if the stylist was ready for the customer with an appointment instead of trying to squeeze in extra customers, making those with appointments wait. It would also be nice if the stylists did not keep rushing into the back room while perm/hair color is setting. It seems that they like to gather in the back a lot away from customers. Watch TV or gossip or something. It is noticeable at times.

Horrible salon -- three times in a row I was called the day of my appointment that was made 6 weeks prior and cancelled because so called stylist was sick -- I understand one time NOT three times in a row. Unprofessional --I buy products and tip well -- they lost a great customer, not to mention I'm telling everyone I know in Corvallis DO NOT GO to Hair Body and Sole.

This is not your typical salon. There is more of a rustic/chic feel, which was not very relaxing for a pedicure. Instead of a typical pedicure chair, I was seated up high in a chair with a bucket (literally a metal bucket) of water under my feet. The seating was very awkward and not very comfortable. I also got a manicure, which was pretty good. However, the polish on my fingernails and on my toenails was poorly applied and sloppy looking.

I did three stars because my first experience was good, but unfortunately my second experience was terrible. Arrived for a full weave, and cut at 12:30pm, was out at 5pm. The stylist left me for her lunch break, for 45 min, then interrupted my appt for a consultation with another client, for 40 min, and talked to coworkers while I sat feeling awkward.

She forgot to layer one side of my hair. I called, had to go back in to have it fixed, and left unhappy with how much money I spent. I felt disrespected in the worst way. Sad to say, I don't know where to go from here. I want my money back, and will update after I speak to the owner. I do not want to go back, but need resolution.

I found HBS on yelp and decided to give it a try as I was new to the Corvallis area. I am so glad that I did. Everyone is very friendly, I schedule my appointments at each appt. and never wait once I arrive and the prices are affordable. Being new to the area, I was in desperate need of a great haircut and Katlin did an amazing job! Over the last year she has always been patient with me and explained how to use the products at home so I could look fantastic every day. Katlin is the best and I would gladly recommend her to anyone!

Yesterday was our first visit to Hair, Body & Sole. I went with two of my sisters for a girls' afternoon. I had a mani-pedi with Clarissa, who was delightful! She did a very nice job of shellack on my fingernails, paying great attention to detail. I was especially impressed that she knew how to protect the integrity of my nails during the removal process.

My sisters both had facials, and we're very pleased with them. The entire experience was delightful! There is such a positive, friendly atmosphere throughout; it is warm, welcoming, and professional.

I wanted to like this salon! I really did! But, after 2 experiences, I found the expense and focus on trying to get me to purchase hair products/explain why my hair is so bad to be tiring! Anybody else just want a good cut and color without sales pitches? Tired of it and, sadly, moving on.

Finally! a shop that takes the time to get it right and get to kow you personally. I've been going here for about 4 months and love to go and be pampered. Hair cut, color, nails, all with excellent and personal service. Lisa, Linda, and Alisha (sorry if the spelling is wrong) make it a visit with friends not just a hair salon.

Had a waxing appointment for myself here today, and husband got a haircut.very happy with both services, and a bonus that it's so close to home. Apparently they also have another location near the OSU campus at the corner of Monroe and Kings called HBS Express (nails, waxing, tanning). Simple eyebrow wax was $16, a bit higher than I'm used to paying even in Portland, but husband's haircut was only $19, a little less than he's used to, so I suppose it evens out!

Only place I trust to get my hair cut in town. Prices are higher, but affordable, and the ladies do a great job so tip well! If you get your hair cut they will wash it for you first off with great shampoos and conditioners, then get down to cutting and finish with a flat iron. The waxes are great, and so are the manis and pedis. Great for parties, they have a good set up.

Occasionally you'll go there on a busy day or get someone new, so if you find a favorite stick with them or try to go on a slow day so you make sure you have their full attention.
