Eclektica Salon

Love this salon! Everyone is very helpful. It’s nice to come in after a long day to get my hair done, while having a glass of wine. This salon is beautiful and I enjoy the time I get to spend there. I always leave happy.

Needed a change from my hair gal, looked up some reviews and chose eclecktica. Gal on phone asked what I was looking for as well as about my hair type which I appreciated. She chose Jebbeh for me and I couldn’t be happier! After a period of personal care dormancy— where I couldn’t decide what I wanted so I did nothing — I needed something different but not drastic. Jebbeh was super thoughtful and patient in taking everything in as well as offering feedback. She took her time and I love love my cut — and my new stylist;) I also liked the feel of the salon, unpretentious and friendly.

I have had the worst experience at this salon. I almost left in tears.
I called ahead and scheduled an appointment (I have blonde and red streaks, and was hoping to just go to a dark brown). I looked forward to it all week because I have a big weekend coming up. The receptionist said I had an appt with someone named Jesse, and that for a color it would be $ 64 – 70.
They brought me in on Thursday (I was a little early), got me a glass of water, then I waited 15 – 20 minutes to meet with someone (not Jesse, someone named Katie Jo). Then, I told her what I wanted and she went to the back, while I waited another 10 minutes. She came back out and told me that to dye my hair a dark brown it would $ 134.
This wasn’t okay with me. I explained that I am in college and only working part time, as well as being told a different price. That I may be able to do $ 100 but no more. She went back into the back room saying she could check if they could make it a color correction which would be $ 91. I said great and that I understood.
They refused to make it any less staying firm at $ 134, and she just kept saying that «It was our fault this time. We could do a shampoo or you could reschedule…» and on and on and on. This was thoroughly upsetting in front of the 10 – 12 people in the salon all watching. I made it very clear that I would not be rescheduling and left.
Stand by your prices. I was told 3 different prices. And, for the love of God, don’t humiliate/​upset your clients in public.
After working and going to class all day, I was looking forward to getting my hair done. I wound up being there 45 minutes with no hair color and no apology.

After a bad hair experience at another salon I did a lot of research about how to get the best and nothing less. A professional in the salon industry for more than a decade recommended this salon to me (this person had no affiliation with this salon). They were so profession, efficient and told me the price of everything before so there were no surprises. My hair was a huge project and they gave me better hair than I have ever had. The professional color my stylist choose for me was Inoa from Loreal Professional. I am a huge natural product fanatic and Inoa is PPD free and ammonia free. The consultation was so in depth. After showing my stylist Krystal what color I wanted she put swatches of various undertones on my skin and eyes to see which one would complement me best. I never had that done before. This is a salon that cares about the integrity of your hair. I am now forever loyal.

Absolutely love this salon. My stylist is Jebbeh who is the sweetest person. She is honest about what will work with your hair. She didn’t rush my through and because I was having highlights, cut and style she quoted me the price ahead of time. I also got 15% off because I used Unilocal!Heading to my second visit now.

I love this salon. I have seen Amanda twice now. And she’s fabulous.
The first time I went and I said I just want something short and sassy and showed her a couple different pictures. She looked them over looked at my hair and said I can do this no problem. I came out happier than I ever have with a haircut.
She washes your hair and then puts conditioner on it. While the conditioner is settings she’ll give you a nice hand massage. Then you move to the chair and she listens to you and figures out exactly what you want. She will cut your hair to a precise detailed description.
It is hard to find someone that can cut short hair and do a good job with it. She is excellent. I doubt I will switch stylist. I will probably continue to drive all the way to North Kansas City to get my haircut.

So I dont live in the area my dad does, I’m from California and decided on a trip over here that I wanted to get my hair done. (Going from a blonde Ombré to dark brown). Let me tell you Jessie was AWESOME she was very friendly and we chatted. She colored my hair, hair cut and conditioning treatment. I have never really found that good of a salon anywhere but this place is awesome… If I could come back every so often to get my hair cut from her I would.

Found this salon on Unilocal.Decided to try it based on the reviews. I have been 3 times. I like the color we are doing on my hair. Everyone is friendly. Price is at the upper end of what I will pay but I am satisfied with the services I am receiving.

Still going to Eclektica a happy customer!
My stylist is not only talented, but is able to understand what I want despite my poor hair-​communication skills. Ask for Whitney! The front desk service is always respectful, fun, and pleasant.
It’s pleasantly busy but they are never running behind. It’s spotless. And I always return looking forward to a true salon experience and know i’m never disappointed when I arrive!

I have been to Jordan several times for haircuts, deep conditionings, and once for corrective color. Each time she has been more than great. I use a lot of color and heat on my hair and every time I leave, she makes my hair feel great and revitalized. She doesn’t lecture me about damage like other stylists have, and she suggests useful products, but does not push them on me making me feel like she’s only doing it for a commission and not my benefit. Jordan is very professional and good at what she does. I came in with black hair which I have been dying with boxed dye for years. I requested a deep red color which meant she had to lighten, color, and tone it. This took about 4 hours. The time and money was well worth it. The price was decent and my hair had so much dimension when she was done. She colored some extensions to match for me, as well, and only charged for extra color. I once went in for a cut with an older lady when Jordan was unavailable. I felt like she was much pushier with product and felt like she was shaming me about not using more products than just hair spray and because I was currently using shampoo I had bought from Sally’s Beauty Supply. Her hair cut was fine, but the experience was a bit uncomfortable. I will definitely keep going back to Jordan. I learned my lesson. Next time she is unavailable, I will wait!

«if you’re looking for a place to relax with an old lady, look no further. new york’s hottest club is SPICY!» oh wait — i’m not stefon. but if you ARE looking for a SPICY new haircut…
kansas city’s hottest salon is eclektica! located in the lovely briarcliff village and nestled between cute boutiques and cafes, eclektica salon is the place to go.
where do i begin? enjoy being greeted at the front desk with a friendly smile and an offer to hang up your coat. what? you say you’re a little thirsty? how about a glass of wine? or some water? coming right up!
after my initial consult with abbi (my FAVORITE stylist in all of kc) which took 10 – 15 minutes and included many detailed questions so that she knew my hair better than i did, i enjoyed a nice hand massage while my hair was washed and deeply conditioned. oh yes, the stylists all wash hair — no divas, thank you very much! abbi explained all the products she used on my hair from wash to blow-​dry and even took a moment to show me how to style my hair at home. i LOVED my haircut the first time there!
but like all those who are jaded by half-​rate experiences at salons, i thought, «maybe it’s just this good the first time you’re there to hook you and then it’s all downhill.»
OH NO YOU DI-N’T!
i’ve been back 2 more times — each time i am greeted the same way (whether they’re busy or not), each time i am offered a hand massage, and each time i leave LOVING my haircut.
the nitty gritty — the place is CLEAN, simply elegant, and straightforward. in between cuts, stylists and assistants quickly sweep up hair. the prices are commensurate with the quality of their services — about $ 40 – 55 for a cut and style. (i haven’t had my hair colored there yet, so don’t know those prices.) the stylists are professional, trained in advanced and current techniques, and they offer $ 10 «up-​keep» fringe cuts in between haircuts. NICE! they only offer hair services (along with a couple of extras, like brow waxing and tinting), but i believe that focusing on what you do well is a good way to be successful.
also, right now they’re offering a special deal on giftcards — they’ll add a percentage to the amount you purchase. i think it’s 10% extra for any amount up to $ 100, and 20% extra above that. DO IT! DO IT!
