I am tempted to give this place a 0!  I had the most horrific experience.  The friendly dog tried to bite a kid while I was there.  My hair looked horrible, luckily I have short hair and could fix it easily.  My friends literally gave me funny looks when they first saw me, like "wow, what happened to you".    The girl who did my hair was nice but again didn't do what I wanted.  I felt the place seemed unclean to me, I know people think it's cozy, but where I'm from anyplace that gives messages has enough light you can see that things are clean and it has a warm comforting environment, I guess this could be your thing if you're more earthy than myself but I was not impressed.  I'll stop now, but I would really save yourself the time, money and disappointment and go elsewhere.

i have been in there a few times to browse for product, but i've gotten such an uncomfortable feeling that i know i dont want to have a service done there. the owner and stylists are very gossipy, seemingly mean and loud, and it doesnt make for a good place to trust people with your hair.

i really want to like them because they do have more natural products, and because the design seems nice - with little money, theyve transformed a bad corner into a cute salon - albeit kitschy at times. but theyve been rude to friends of mine too, so i'll probably never go back.

The good: Nice folks in a laid back atmosphere, friendly dog, lots of reading material to peruse while you wait.
The bad: Had to wait 40 minutes before anyone paid me any attention, mediocre massage at huge price, cold massage room (this matters when you are stark naked trying to relax).
Probably wouldn't go back for a massage......maybe the salon is better.

Using only cruelty-free and environmentally friendly products, Kalista Salon is the perfect place to go to both look and feel great! A friendly and helpful staff can cut, color, weave, and wax like nobody's business. The prices are comparable to any other decent local salon, but the added element of a relaxing and quiet atmosphere help it stand among the best. Kalista Salon also offers massages, manicures and pedicures.
