Garbo’s Salon and Spa

Writing this for GARBO’S and for my awesome Stylist there, Michaela Sueverkrupp.
GARBO’S is a great salon, I really like the range of products they offer and have always been treated very well by all of their staff. I love the salon, but my stylist is even better! I first found Michaela about 2 years ago and tasked her with fixing a botched color job from a chain salon. We’re talking highlighter orange streaks, brassy nasty brown, it was BAD! Not only did she fix it, she absolutely exceeded my expectations! I can give her vague ideas of what I want and she nails it, every time. In two years of seeing Michaela every 8 weeks, I’ve been thrilled each and every time. I feel totally safe in her hands, she knows what works for me and gives me new & exciting without pushing it too far (though if I ever want a drastic change, I know she can do it!). She does the best color I’ve ever had (I’d say the best in Omaha!). She can do anything – funky bright colors, natural highlights, blondes, reds, amazing brunette shades that never look flat. She does great cuts & styles as well, every bit as good as her color skills! I have naturally wavy hair that I usually wash & wear; it looks great when she styles it for me and looks just as good when I air dry at home.

Garbos is a great facility in itself but my five stars go to Michaela! She is AMAZING! I always give her creative freedom with my hair cut and color and it always comes out beyond beautiful! She is so amazing at what she does and is a wonderful person! She goes above and beyond to make the appointment fun and enjoyable. I highly recommend her every time!

Last minute appointment for me, great stylist Jamie attends to the details. Love the Aveda minty head massage as well. About $ 40 for a cut all in. Website offers product discounts immediately when you sign up to subscribe to emails…25% off products with any service. Will return next month for sure.

I don’t like getting my hair done. I always hate how it looks and don’t ever feel like they heard what I was asking for. I switch places all the time because of this. But FINALLY! I was over the moon happy with my cut and style from MICHAELA. She listened to how I like to wear my hair. She also had some great tips for how to get it to do what I want it to do and what was not possible with my type of hair. Loved the extra touches and her attention to detail. Usually I go home and restyle it but not this time. She did a phenom blow out that felt great for days. My hair has been so easy to style since she cut it. I’ve seen photos of some of her color work and plan to try that out next.

Great experience. It’s the nicest salon I’ve ever been to. I didn’t have an appointment and was able to get in immediately. Mallory was my stylist and she was helpful and fun to talk to. I enjoyed the wash, which left my scalp pleasantly tingly. I am happy with my haircut. It is on the pricey side though. I spent 43 bucks on my haircut plus tip.

After moving to Omaha, I tried a few different places to get a haircut before a friend recommended that I get one from Eileen at Garbo’s. It was one of the best haircuts I’ve gotten. I saw her almost a year ago now, and I’ve been going to her ever since. She really listens to her clients and enjoys doing what she does. She also keeps up on the latest techniques and skill sets which I really appreciate. Not only is she great at hair, she’s a genuine, kind-​hearted person that always keeps the best interest of her client. If your hair needs some fixing, I’d highly recommend giving Eileen a visit.

I was hesitant about going to get my hair done after breaking my collarbone., Chris was gentle, cut my hair just how I wanted it and made me feel special. I guess her years of experience have made her one of the top people in the business.

My first time trying this location and Chris did an amazing job with blonde highlights! She was super efficient, a treat to chat with and I walked out the exact shade of blonde desired! Will definitely return!

Garbo’s at Regency is my secondary salon when I cannot get into Panache Day Spa. I always ask for Amy. She is friendly and does great color work! Jill at the front desk is so friendly and helpful. Garbo’s has the comfiest shampoo chairs. I am both big and tall and could sleep in those chairs. Only reason I did not give 5 stars is because if Amy is busy, I have always had to slouch in the styling chair because of my height and the chairs not going down lower which means I leave with an achy lower back. They also take PinPoint!!!

First try and it was excellent. I had Franco get my haircut and hairstyle done. He did exactly as I told him to to trim my hair. He didn’t «trim» like cutting inches off of my hair but actually trimmed my hair! Very satisfied. I will definitely recommend Garbo’s to my friends or whoever ask me where to go to get their haircut :)

Kylie Black is a freaking saint. I went to her 2 days after having a terrible dying experience at another salon. She really took her time and didn’t even use foils while fixing it so she could really pay attention and put the color exactly where it needed to go. It’s 100x better and I’ve gotten so many compliments on it.
Oh and not to mention when you ask her to TRIM your hair she will actually trim it and not just automatically chop a couple inches off.
Love her. Will certainly be going back!

I would highly recommend both Kristin M. & Denise P.!! They are two extremely talented & highly professional stylists. They’re both also very sweet & make you feel completely at ease when you visit them!

Garbo’s is still a great salon, but my loyalty to Carolyn S. has pulled me away. If you were a client of Carolyn and would like to know her new location (as of 2÷23÷15) feel free to message me. I was quite upset before I found out where she moved to! Thanks to Garbos for many years of being your patron! I may be back someday.
**PS if you were a client of Amanda K she is also located at the same salon as Carolyn now!

Was in town visiting family & found this salon on Unilocal.Very friendly staff, very accommodating with fair prices. Claire shampooed & styled my hair and did a fantastic job and was very friendly. Highly recommend!

I recently got married and made 5 hair appointments for me and my closest friends. We had a nice time, although we were spread apart into different areas of the salon. All of us loved our hair styles. Natalie did my hair for the wedding and I just loved it! My 13 year old daughter brought a picture on her phone and asked the nice beautician to do her hair like the photo. She felt so beautiful all night with her hair just as she had hoped! Plus, despite the other negative posts, we were thrilled with the price. Where in the world can you leave feeling beautiful for 55 – 65 $ ?? I heard how gorgeous my hair was from my guests and I just wanted to personally thank Natalie ! I recommend her anyday!

Had a fantastic pedicure today w/​Rachael. Unbelievably sweet and friendly, took her time, had great conversation. Garbo’s is very fortunate to have her. Will definitely come back again.

After having a horrible experience at UA nails, I immediately made an appointment at Garbos for a polish change on my toes and a manicure.
When I arrived I was escorted to the nail room, and helped by Amie. She did a fantastic job and was very informative about then products that Garbos uses. The salon was super clean. The nail polish bottles were new and the latest line of OPI colors.
Garbos did a great job, and I would highly recommend this place!

I was in Omaha this past weekend for a wedding and needed a haircut. Read the Unilocal reviews for Garbos and decided to give it a shot.
The place was pretty dead and I still ended up waiting 45 minutes for my appointment. Worst of all, the haircut was terrible. I need to get it fixed when I get home.
I’m from LA and never had to wait 45 mins even for the best haircuts.
Never plan on going back.

I wanted to plan a spa day with my best friend and my sister in law. Both my sister in law and I travelled from neighboring states to meet my friend who also had to drive an hour to meet us at the spa. I booked appointments for a 1 hour massage for my friend, a basic facial for me, and three standard pedicures for all of us.
While my friend headed into her massage, I waited for about 25 minutes before I headed back to the desk to inquire why my facial wasn’t starting though Laura, the aesthetist, had been paged twice. Finally, another employee went back and got her; when she arrived at the front, I realized she had been at the front desk earlier and didn’t even bother to get me to start the facial.
Once back in the facial room, she explained what she’d be doing and asked if I wanted a «customized» facial or the «express» facial that didn’t include arm and hand massage and if I had seen the price list. I said I wanted the «express» facial, especially because I had the pedicure appointment and didn’t want to be late as we were about half an hour late to begin, and that I had seen the price list prior to making the appointments. I never got any arm or hand massages, but she actually ended up telling the owner to charge me for the «customized» facial. The facial didn’t even last an hour.
Anyway, we went onto get pedicures, and during our pedicures and conversation about our own jobs, my friend inquired about how they salon employees are paid and whether they are independent contractors. The pedicurists let us know that they received a percentage of what we paid and that they are all regular employees of the salon, not independent contractors. It sounded like an hourly job with commission from the pedicurists’ explanation.
After the pedicures, I wanted to double check with the desk to ensure that they used our $ 300 SpaFinder gift certificate to cover what I had planned on being a $ 292 charge for all of our services. The front desk attendant was concerned about receiving the gift certificate and went to consult the spa owner who came to the front desk and questioned the validity of the Spa Finder certificate even though I had expressly asked about using this before I made the service appointments. The owner stated that she was used to receiving gift cards but not the gift certificate that Spa Finder allows a recipient to print. The owner took my phone number and added up what the service providers had written on slips of paper and told me that we owed an additional $ 29 on top of the $ 300 that was covered by the gift certificate.
The owner said that the pricelist I was provided only listed basic service prices and that every service provider charged what they thought they were worth, which is not what the pedicurists, who did charge us each differently, stated during the pedicure. I never signed any receipt as I disagree with the charges, but sure enough, the $ 29 was taken out of my account from Garbo’s.
I called Garbo’s on the following Monday and was told that I need to speak with the owner if I have an issue with the charges, but that she wasn’t available.
I will never go back. This experience was far from relaxing.

I am trying to grow my hair out after 15 years of shortness… sigh.
That being said, Caroline at Garbo’s is making it worth my while. I will persevere!
The clientele is very mixed, from blue hairs to society types to mine (prairie girl wanna-​be). Lots of services to choose from, I will work my way thru the menu in time. Microdermabrasion here I come!
