Hannah always provides great services and I've had to see other stylists and have never been disappointed!

If you’re looking for a girl’s girl to do your hair: GO TO TAYA!
- kindness/compassion
- Glossy bright color
- Careful cuts
- Individualized service
- Hair advice
Taya has been doing my hair for over two years. She has always taken time to listen to what I want, and she DELIVERS. Every. Time. But more than that - Taya has always listened to my concerns about my hair texture and health, and she’s always willing to give advice and walk me through care routines. I normally get blonde highlights - Taya puts a gloss on my hair, and I ALWAYS get compliments for days after I get my hair done. (I’m not exaggerating).
Taya has always taken into account my hair texture, health, thickness, and overall balance with the rest of my face shape. I can tell that she puts an immense amount of care into strategically picking a color and where she places it.
I have requested many different hair cuts to try (straight down, bangs, face framing, curtain bangs) I have had my favorites, but Taya takes extreme care in making sure every cut is tailored to me. She delivers beautifully every time.
More than all of that: Taya is a true girl’s girl. She’s always kind, she talks highly about the people around her, she’s always smiling, and she gives compliments freely and sincerely. She’ll make you look and feel so beautiful!
I truly cannot recommend Taya enough!
AJ’s wicked salon has been a great facility every time I visit. It is clean and welcoming, and the music selection is perfect. The staff are always friendly, and they interact with each other and customers kindly. I have never had a bad experience.
It is in the heart of downtown, so it’s great to give yourself a little time before or after your service to go to the coffee shop or antique store across the street.

This review is soooo long overdue. I have been receiving services at Wicked for years. EVERYBODY is great ALL THE TIME. From the minute you walk in, and they greet you by name, everyone is friendly and helpful. I see Brooke. She is very talented and knows her trade. They are definitely worth the booking out time. On time appts, friendly atmosphere, highly skilled artisans with updated training and great downtown location. Call. Now. Book that appt. You deserve it.

Leigh over at Wicked changed my life! She was able to work with my couple of inches long hair (I had just shaved my head a couple of months prior) to give me the extensions I didn’t think were possible. She works with you and makes your goals achievable somehow. Love this salon!

Ive been coming to see Taya for the last three years at AJ's Wicked Salon and have always been amazed with the results. This girl knows what's she's doing and is the sweetest person ever. The salon also has a great vibe in general and I don't see myself ever going anywhere else!

I am 65 years old and my usual stylist was out of town. I went to this salon because I worked with a sweet lady whose daughter has Down syndrome and she always took her there because they were so good with her. And her hair always looked great!
Some women my age and older like the trendy more up to date looks that are short and choppy. I like traditional. I have very thin, fine hair. My regular stylist has the experience and education to make it look more full, and although it is short, it looks quite feminine. However, it had grown out to the point that it was unruly.
The stylist asked what I wanted and I said I really liked the was it had originally been cut and I would like the same sort of thing. A little long on top, kind of full on the sides and some length in the back (the hair covered up some unsightly acne scars and a small birthmark.). She pulled up some pictures on google of pixie sorts of haircuts. I didn’t care for any of them. I explained that I wanted it not quite that short so I could put some curl in it.
She said should we cut a little off here, we could shorten this and something about the shape of my head and beautiful jaw bone. I had no idea what she was talking about. I pay 55 dollars for a haircut because I expect HER to be the expert. My expertise lies elsewhere.
She washed my hair in cold water (not her fault, but the water heater had quit working) and proceeded to cut my hair. As she was cutting she would say things like This much here? A little longer here? I think this will give you more body. We can texture it here ….. etc, etc, etc,” I had no idea what she was talking about.
When she was finished I had a short pixie, no body, no possibility of curl, and a shaved neck where the birthmark and acne scar could wave at everyone.
At that point what could I say? It’s not like she could glue back the hair. She is a nice person and was doing her best. I just told her it was a little shorter than I expected.
I placed a call to the manager as soon as I got home to explain the situation. Had to leave a message. That was at 3:30. Placed another call at 4:00. Left a message with my name, phone number and details again. Repeated my phone number twice. The calls were not returned.
I am not impressed. A salon that advertises as a high end establishment should have better service and customer service.

I am normally so easy going with any service I receive and have had some interesting hair experiences in the past but have never felt the need to say anything like I do with what they did to my hair here. I came in a blonde asking for STRAWBERRY BLONDE. Some things said in my consultation were (after showing the stylist the reference) “I understand if it’s just a toner” “I know I wouldn’t look good as a brunette and definitely wanna stay in the realm of blonde” “definitely don’t want to end up orange”. I even made sure to book with the stylist that seemed to do the most work with blondes. She decided to do an all over color that left me DARK CHOCOLATE with RED undertones (I have racked my brain and still can’t figure out what the plan was here).
Again like I said I’m easy going and while this was not ANYWHERE near what I asked for it looked like maybe I could be born with the color so I figured I’d leave it despite not liking it at all. After one week I washed with color safe shampoo and conditioner and it immediately faded significantly into a weird light brown BRIGHT orange color.
I called asking what the service would be considered to get this fixed, so that I could plan financially. After long back and forth calls the salon offered to comp the first visit from what would be required next. This was awesome and more than I was expecting. When I went in to a consultation with a DIFFERENT stylist I made sure to say that I am grateful for whatever they think is possible for them to do. After the consultation they booked me the next appointment and confirmed the compensation. Until about a week later I received a call saying “never mind we won’t do that anymore” ??????? Since I didn’t want to let them attempt a strawberry blonde again after having seen that they clearly can’t do so I canceled my appointment.
I am still utterly confused as to if this stylist hated me or was just trying to charge me more to get a higher % tip. Mind you this was a very pricey appointment for an all over color expecting for it to reasonably be potentially just a toner.
One fun thing has come out of this experience and that is showing people the reference photo and seeing their faces when they look and see just how different the color is. Definitely leaves me feeling validated lol.
TLDR: they are willing to do services that they cannot accomplish successfully. They will do extra services to your hair you did not want just to charge you more. I won’t say her name but if u research the stylists and find the one that favors doing blondes DO NOT GO TO HER. I saw her one other time as well and she over processed some of my highlights. But like I said before I am not a picky client so didn’t think that was enough reason to not go again.

Hanna is so kind and makes sure to walk you through what to expect with your hair. She was able to give me exactly what I wanted and completely go above and beyond my expectations. Would definitely recommend this salon and will be coming back!

New to town and looking for a salon and I think I found it! I had a great color with Hanna that was essentially a correction from a not-great job somewhere else. Super knowledgeable and the salon atmosphere is lovely. Can’t wait to go back!

I have been coming to AJ’s Wicked Salon since 2019. I met Sonja during my first visit and have never looked back. I change my mind constantly about my hair. My mom did hair when I was younger so I was always allowed to express myself through cuts, colors, perms, etc. Sonja is always open to my next hair idea and always honest about what we can achieve or how to get there. I appreciate her so much for that. The other staff is always so kind and welcoming when you step in the door. Truly love this place.

Some may think Jaelyn is only known for her blondes (because she’s amazing with blonde hair) however, I’d argue that she just knows all hair and how to make anyone feel like a 10! I’m alllll brunette and she does such a good job. Most recently she got my color just right, as well as gave me bangs and a perfect long shag (while gracefully avoiding the joe dirt look). She gave me tips on product and walked me through exactly how to style it. 10/10 would recommend!

I feel so fortunate that I was booked with Leigh!! My hair presented some challenges but she was not daunted! She was able to decipher my attempt at explaining what I wanted without hesitation. My hair looks great now! The color is perfect. Whoo hoo! I want to mention how very nice Leigh is and how attentive she is to your comfort. I felt very pampered. She’s a lovely person and has mad skills to boot. I’m very pleased.
