I went to Afton at Pink Flamingo for a trim and colour after seeing her reviews online. I had healthy, short, black hair and I asked for ombre/ balyage highlights. I explained to her that I wanted a blonde ombre but without the harsh difference in colour, therefore more of a colour melt. I wanted to go more blonde over time. I also informed her that I had ombre before and my hair was very orange so I would like to avoid that as much as possible but I understood that going light might make it impossible to avoid that scenario. She acted as though she understood. After 2 hours of colouring and washing my hair she shows me the final result and there was no colour in my hair- it looked exactly the same as before and she was going to let me walk out of there like that so I reluctantly mentioned that I dont see any difference. Afton agreed and made a different mix. When she was done, there were definitely some bronzy streaks in my hair. At that point I was in that salon for more than 5 hours and I just wanted to leave so I tipped her generously and left. I went home and was very disappointed. I had bronze streaks throughout the top of my head that made me look like a 90s soccer mom! Some streaks were thin while others were very thick- overall looked terrible. I ended up going to a salon in Omaha for colour correction 2 days later! While Afton did do a good job on the haircut, she is definitely not someone I would go to for any colouring services! The ladies at Pink Flamingo seemed very nice. In the time I was there I noticed they all compliment all the clients on how great their hair looked after their appointment (regardless if it looked good or not). It seemed like this salon would appeal to an older crowd who didnt want to try anything new with their hair- they can do the basic jobs alright. But for the prices, not worth risking the health or beauty of your hair.

I got a haircut done by Ada and it went great. They start off with a scalp massage and listen to your requests. She was friendly and conversational. The layers were cut to detail exactly how I wanted them and she also recommended a certain style, which was nice. I especially liked how she didnt pressure me at all to buy their products at the end, like many salons do. The only downfall was that I didnt feel like she took enough time to style it - she simply blow dried it and put some cream in I think. I wouldve liked to have it straightened and had something done to add more volume. Then again, I didnt really ask her to style it so its not a big deal. The price was very good for an Aveda salon. Ill definitely be going back.

I never have writtne a review of a service but this was the worst hair dye Ive gotten and I had to share. I wanted light brown and needed my hair lightened, but all she did was put dye over my dark brown hair and accused me of not having virgin hair multiple times. After dying my hair (it being the same color) dye gunk was left on my scalp after the wash and then she said she doesnt feel comfortable dying my hair due to its texture and darkness...after already dying my hair. It was dyed by Jenny. Luckily I didnt pay for the bad dye but payed $30 for the trim. It was just rude and ruined my hair and day.

Jenny is my stylist, but ALL the stylists here are wonderful! How many salons can you say that about? I always look forward to my appointments because all of the stylists are welcoming, professional and so knowledgeable! The patrons are also friendly--a good sign that they are happy customers!

Got my hair done and didnt like it, asked for it 2 be fixed and it came out worse!! She put the toner on my hair while it was soaking wet and only left it on for 2 minutes. I have never wrote a review online before, however Iam highly disappointed!!

Staff is always so friendly and the hair cuts have always looked awesome. I have never had to wait more than about 3 minutes from my appointment time. Would recommend anyone come here.

Incredibly rude staff. Sat there for over 20 minutes without anyone even acknowledging me. After my appointment time passed, I finally just left.
