The Mane Thing Salon + Spa

Ok let's start by saying it falls short. First thing, when you walk through the door people aren't as social as they should. My first impression as I walked in is clean but not friendly environment. Secondly the ladies didn't really want to do a walk in for eyebrow/upper lip waxing even though there wasn't people inside. And lastly the prices are insane. $36 for waxing eyebrows and upper lip. Any where eles it's 13 for eyebrows 8 for lip. But for some reason they charge $36. So no I would not recommend this place unless you want to over pay and not be treated kindly.

You know its a bad when the second you leave you are looking up other salons. The stylist was unprofessional, untalented, and the salon as a whole was unimpressive. If I'm paying 50$ for a haircut I expect 1. for you to put product in my hair BEFORE you use heat on it! 2. for your to know how to do a proper wash 3. for your staff to have a somewhat put together look (not multiple staff members in dollar store flip flops and clearly in need of a bra) 4. I should not have to ask to view the back of my head before getting out of the chair 5. I should not have to instruct your stylist over and over to blend the layers so it doesn't look like a five year old took some kitchen scissors to my hair. 6. She did not check to make sure both sides were even so now one side is longer by an inch tan the other. You honestly could not pay me to go back there. The hair stylist literally put NOTHING in my hair before doing the worst blow-dry of my life. Then when I looked in the mirror in horror because my roots were stuck to my head and the ends were dry and flared out She told me it was my fault for having greasy roots and dry ends.... So yeah don't just walk past, RUN AWAY!

When I was first in Kansas I came here from 2000 2005, this is the only hair salon I would go, the saw me through every length and color. When I left to California from 2005 to 2011, I couldn't wait to come back here and be around people who took pride in their work. I love the people I love their business and all they offer. (My only wish, is that they took up threading) I will not go anywhere else, I currently live in Manhattan and still travel to Junction city to see my hairdresser Kat who is amazing! I love that I can call and they know who it is on the phone. They text appointments to me, follow up with a phone call if I don't respond. They accommodate with my time and if I have to have multiple appointments with different people, they figure it out and make it work.I have to plan for a visit here, but it's worth it every time.

I got lucky and found this place right away when I first moved here, when Robyn was recommended to me by an acquaintance with a great haircut. She's the only one I've gone to for cut and color, and I highly recommend her. She's very friendly and gentle, and takes plenty of time to listen to what I want and how she can go about it with my texture and color. She recommends things but is never pushy. She is an artist! She really takes note of your hair and tweaks things here and there as she's working, and takes plenty of time. I never feel rushed out. She also is considerate of my need to get the most bang for my buck (lol) and knows I don't want to be in all the time for color, so finds ways to extend my color and keep it looking great for extending time between touch ups. I just think that's rare in the industry to find someone who wants to work with you on spending less!! The rest of the staff has always been friendly and kind, though you can tell they are busy. I know a lot of reviews mention how pricey it is, and I can't disagree, but I also think it's pretty on par with nice salons in Arizona where I'm from. If there's a better stylist than Robyn who charges less, I would like to know! A cut costs $41. Color can run expensive very quickly, so take the time to ask for exactly how much and where you want it done (all over, partial highlight, full highlight, individual foils, etc) and get a price quote to save yourself some sticker shock when it happens

I have went to this salon for better part of a decade and having returned from living overseas discovered that my old stylist, Trish had relocated out of town. NO! As I needed a cut and color and didnt want to travel far to get it done, I took a chance and asked for their best colorist. They put me in the hands of Endia and she is fabulous! She really listens to what you want and delivers fantastic service. She also does the BEST blowout and flat iron! I just wanna take her home!! I couldn't be any happier. Yes, the price can be a bit steep but it all depends on what you're looking to get done/have had done to your hair.

This place is ridiculous for their price, the CND product is pretty commonly used in literally every salon who don't charge high prices for a fill. 103$ total for spa pedi and regular overlay on real nail bed with just regular nail polish mani it wasn't even gel. 39$ for a fill... and if your nails are overgrown $14 extra. It's an ok place. Nothing fancy. Looks like a great clips with nail stations. The pedicure was good. I was told 40$ but apparently got charged $50 due to matching some percentage. And the fill wasn't all that special. My cuticles were bleeding. I was in a rush so I needed to find a nearby nail place. Never been, so I lived 7-8 minutes away and decided to give it a try. Next time I'm just going to drive the extra 30 mins and go to a place that does moneys worth and actually doesn't charge so much.

While the salon is clean and the work up to par, their pricing system is absurd. I went in to get my acrylic nails filled and she refused to remove my old product in the manner I was accustomed, telling me I didn't know how to deal with nails like mine. She made me remove the bulk of the product on my nails and glued on tips, after I had told her I did not want tips. Instead of the fills I asked for, she did a full set. After an hour and a half, my nails were finally done--with an eighty dollar price tag. Too much for too little service. She then pushed for me to set up a follow-up appointment, but added that she would be out of town the week I would have needed it, so I'd have to wait. Needless to say, I will not return.

I used to go here while living in JC...Loved it most of the time but the last couple visits there was attitude from an employee. I absolutely LOVE Amber who does nails and styles hair. (she looks like Tracy on Jerseylicious!) There is another nail tech who I feel charges way too much and needs to go back to school to do nails and pedicures b/c shes horrible at them. Pricing is a little expensive, esp for eye brows and nails/mani/pedicures.Owner (rhonda) will make up for any wrong doing tho, has always offered a discount or free service is something was messed up.

On Wednesday, 28 September, I had an appointment for a haircut and color with a hair stylist named Stephanie. She had cut my hair a few weeks ago and did a good job. I was looking forward to having her cut and color my hair, but when I arrived for my appointment, was told that she was wrapping up with another customer. So, after 20 minutes of waiting, I asked the receptionist how much longer it would be, I was told, "Steph said it'll be a while longer." I told the receptionist that I couldn't wait and was about to leave. Another stylist there, Endia, overheard us and offered to do my hair, so I agreed, and Endia did a great job! I really appreciate herShe is awesome.I am still shocked by how unprofessional the other stylist, Stephanie was. It was rather strange being seated right next to "Steph" who was still working on that same customer's hair, laughing, joking, and ignoring me. Steph never said anything to me and no one offered me an explanation. I paid $215 and was told they took the price of the haircut off (that's good because I didn't get one!). I should have asked for a discount for my time (waiting for over 25 mins.) I just thought it was important to post this review, just in case someone else experiences the same issue at this salon. I am an army vet, a woman of color, and appreciate good customer service.P.S. Endia gets 5 stars!!!

Bri did an AMAZING job on my eyebrows today, very nice person and will recommend always. Thanks!
