Clean, felt safe during covid. The oil massage before your shampoo is amazing! I left my cut in the hands of the stylist and she did a wonderful job talking to me about what she thinks would be great to complement my face shape. She took her time throughout the cut and gave me styling tips at the end. Left there feeling like a million bucks. Ill definitely be back!
I have had some bad hair experiences in the past so I can get a little nervous about having to try a new place (I move frequently) for my hairs color and cut. It makes me so happy to know that I have found my new spot for all my hair needs! Bonnie did a fabulous job with my hair cut and color. It looks fantastic and I feel great! Thank you so much Bonnie!!
AMAZING FIND - Best in MadisonKarly was an absolute joy. I have gotten my hair done for years and it is the running joke that I am difficult when it comes to hair. I have had good and bad experiences and a few in between. Never any I would consider out of this world until now.Karly is pure gold. She was very calm and communicative about what we were doing. She asked great questions and I found myself talking and explaining. My hair turned out like a dream!!!!! I am referring my girlfriends and would travel and keep Karly for life. She is going to do great things.
Beautiful salon. My stylist was helpful, friendly, welcoming, and provided great feedback. The salon smelled amazing. I loved the products that she used on me. Will definitely be back!
Love Anaala! They always help me get my hair back looking great!
Quincey did an amazing job on my cut and color. My hair looks exactly how I envision and I absolutely love it!
Heather did an amazing job on my difficult hair! I got a full balayage and love it! Thank you Heather! This was my first experience at this salon and will definitely be back.
Haircut is terrific. Quincy did a great job!!
Had a hair appointment with Maggie - She was great and so talented. It was the best salon experience I’ve ever had. The staff were so careful to follow Covid precautions and were very friendly.
Had an appointment with Erin, and she was lovely! She took the time to explain the cut techniques and products she used and asked great questions about my usual hair routines/habits. I absolutely love how my cut turned out!
Best haircut Ive ever had, wonderful staff - they never rush you and always take your questions seriously. They LISTEN to you and what youre hoping to achieve instead of hearing their version of it and cutting your hair as they see fit. Great service and salon! Would highly recommend!
Absolutely love Sabrina. Ive been going to her for years. She always is very efficient and knowledgable. She gives me great advice on style and how to make my hair work for me and does a fantastic dye job and cut.
I took my granddaughter for hair cut for her birthday. Her stylist made her feel special and did an excellent job for my granddaughter. I hope to return again with her
The lady that cut my hair on New Years Eve did an AMAZING job! This was my first time going this short and we had a lot of fun getting it just how I hoped. (I even got to see myself with a mullet... Oh man) Its a relatively expensive place, but I definitely got a quality cut and a good experience. She also gave me some styling tips, and a (suuuuuper good smelling) product recommendation.NOTE: They also got me in within TEN MINUTES of my call! I came all the way to town to get my haircut at a different salon but the hairdresser couldnt do the buzz cutting on the sides or however she put it. On top of that, no other hairdressers were available at that salon the same day so I was really in a pinch to find somewhere to go without an appointment that was still quality. Im so glad I called Anaala!
It was very COVID safe. Work space was spread out. Staff that work there are always so kind and pleasant.
Always great service in the past. They cancelled my app at the last minute and didnt do anything to make it right. Not even a sorry!
I love this place. Erin is an amazing stylist. She does a great job with my thick hair that other stylists in the past at other salons struggled with. Always happy with my results when I leave here. Highly recommended!
Nina did an amazing job! My sister is a stylist but lives out of state, so this was the first time in over 20 years that someone else has touched my hair...and I am so happy with the results!
Everyone is amazing! I went with a different stylist since mine was booked and I swear she worked magic on my hair! The giant cowlick I had in the back of my hair is now hidden and she explained how she was cutting my hair! She was so sweet! My mom also loved her haircut and was happy with her stylist! We recommend Austin and Erin to anyone! Fantastic job by both of them!
I visited Anaala before the pandemic, had a great experience. That was January. Just got my first haircut since (November). Very impressed with the COVID protocols in place, and still received an excellent cut with a great stylist! Felt nearly normal for a while :)
Erin gave me an incredible curly hair cut. She knows what she is doing!
Fantastic place. Awesome staff and wonderful service. As a dude going in for a beard fade and cleanup I was a little nervous. They exceeded my expectations and Ive already scheduled my appointment.
On top of the salon being beautiful, inviting and clean, everyone was very nice and welcoming. Andrea is very personable and great at what she does. Highly recommend!
Very friendly service and high quality gel manicure.
Good job! Quincy was great.
Sabrina at Anaala is a hair god!! She is always up to date in the latest trends and how to do them. She balayages like a damn queen! She is honest and up front if she thinks a color won’t hold well (which everyone should appreciate). 100% recommended her for all services.
Erin is fantastic! Made me feel and look like a million bucks!
Anaala Salon was clean, welcoming, and conscientious. I felt very safe getting my hair cut at Anaala during the pandemic. Emily was also fantastic!
Karly did an amazing job. She was a pleasure to be around and made my hair look AMAZING!
I was getting pretty shaggy from quarantine. I was able to book a time for the next day and it went great! My stylist listened to me and communicated with me thought my haircut and I left happy.
Nina and Anaala did a wonderful job with Covid precautions, while still making you feel pampered. I love my new cut and couldnt be happier with the care that everyone is taking at the salon.
I had a very nice experience and a great haircut. I felt very safe, I was masked as well as everyone in the salon.
I was a first-time client and got a partial balyage touch up and cut--both of which turned out terribly. The color started 1.5 cm from my scalp and only involved the front of my hair (leaving the back dark), was a warm yellow, and very streaky. However, I’m giving stars because Andrea was able to make the color less terrible and improve the cut. In the end though, I’m out $200, have a color job that I hate and have to look at for 2-3 years until it grows out, and now have damaged hair. If you go here, see Andrea.
Clean and pleasant environment. Professionalism from both stylist and reception. Very cozy studio.
Andrea is AMAZING. Both times Ive seen her she has exceeded my expectations. I usually hate getting my hair done, but going to see her makes it a pleasure. Im so sad Im moving and wont be able to go see her anymore. If youre looking to be wowed, book your next appointment with Andrea!
I worked with several stylists during my journey from very dark brown hair to a light brown/blonde. I appreciated how transparent and informative the staff was. I had to rock orange hair in-between sessions but at least it wasnt a surprise. I love how my hair feels after such a dramatic change. Everyone is super friendly and I appreciate the complimentary beverages and hand massages. Maybe just change the flavor of tea!
This one of the best salons in Madison. They always keep my look fresh and new. I highly recommend Anaala Salon.
Erin did my hair for my wedding this past weekend, and it was amazing! She exceeded all of my expectations... it was the first time I had ever had my hair done professionally, so she guided me through everything with ease. You could not be in better hands with her! Thank you Erin!
They do good hair IF you can get in and know your schedule a month ahead of time.- They have cancelled on me twice before on the same day as I was scheduled - once the day before a wedding I was in (stylist said she was sick but left on vacation the next day) and Heather just cancelled on me for tonights appt. stating she had to take her dog to the vet at 6:30 pm. (She cancelled around 11 am and most vets are closed at 6:30 pm.) Like I said- They do good hair, but unless you are rich with no obligations or job, they are annoying to schedule with. You will be accommodating their schedule, not yours.
Nina was fantastic! Highly recommend. I didnt know exactly what I wanted, but she was able to see what would look good on me & gave me a fantastic cut! Will definitely be going back!
Always professional and taking those extra needed steps to make my visit safe for me and for the stylist
Nina did a wonderful job on my hair! I am new to the area and was nervous about finding a new hairstylist, especially because Ive had damage and a poor haircut in the past that I am still recovering from. :) . Nina is extremely deft, experienced, listened to me and my FIRST haircut from her is phenomenal. Ill be back. Thank you!
I had a great haircut and color with Heather. The salon is very clean and relaxing and prices are reasonable for an Aveda salon. I’ll certainly be back and would recommend to a friend!
Austin was great! Went in for highlights and it turned out beautiful! Thank you!
Came here for the first time and had a great experience. My stylist, Andrea, was super knowledgeable and friendly, and I’ll definitely being going back for my next haircut. I’m normally apprehensive about going to a new salon because of my thick, curly hair, but she was a pro and gave me great styling tips. 10/10 recommend
Andrea was excellent. Really a wonderful experience.
I visited this salon for the first time. I arrived 10 mins before my appointment and nobody was up front or greeted me for 15 minutes. When my appointment got started I said I just wanted a trim and blow out. The girl never ask how much I wanted off. My hair is uneven and shorter then I wanted also the blow out didn’t give me any volume.It is a clean and nice place. The aroma therapy and scalp massage is nice but personally the stylist constant effort to make constant small talk made it not relaxing.
Emily gave me a really nice asymmetric haircut! She took my hair texture into consideration for the cut to make my daily styling as effortless as possible.
I’ve only gotten cuts from Leah but she’s terrific. Good vibes, nice interior. Great location. Give it a whirl.
Andrea did an amazing delivering the long bob that my friend wanted and requested!
I cannot overstate how impressed I have been with the professional and personalized services at Anaala. All the stylists have been phenomenal and make me feel as though Im going on a mini vacation when I go for a haircut!
Sabrina cuts my hair. She is amazing! I love my locks. The other stylists do great work too. Industrial atmosphere. Small but comfortable sitting area. Lots of Aveda product available. The girl who checked me in was adorable. Its the kind of place where I feel comfortable quickly. I have found my salon! Prices are competitive.
Cecelia is a wonderful stylist and had great advice for my wife on how to keep her hair color vibrant while still washing regularly. Cecelia did wonderful job on my wifes hair and was extremely friendly.
Love Opal and Cece for my daughter’s haircuts and my own. We’ve had many great haircuts here and always a fantastic experience!
Ive been having a hard time lately with my current salon with turn over and getting the hair style/color I asked for so I decided to try some where else. After reading the reviews for Anaala (for all three locations) I was comfortable giving them a try. Jordan did a fantastic job on my highlights! I believe the first thing I said when she was finished was YES, this is exactly what I was wanting! She did a great job correcting some imperfections from my previous highlights and really made my hair pop for Summer and for my family pictures next week! I will definitely be back for my future hair needs and highly recommend Jordan!
The service--especially the customer service--is superlative here. There has been a noticeable dip in customer care and service in Madison, but not at Anaala, where they go above and beyond to make sure that the customer feels cared for--thanks especially to Vesna at the front desk!
My son got his haircut and loved it. Everyone was nice and a lovely place to have a hair service done.
Ive been going to Anaala on and off for over 5 years. It is tough to find a stylist who understands different hair types and loves what they do, but Anaala on Atwood consistently has the best talent in Madison. Sabrina does outstanding work on wavy/curly hair, and there isnt a stylist there that I wouldnt give a ringing endorsement to. Aveda products are worth their weight in gold and the point system pays off. Plus, the salon opens relatively early and closes late so making an appointment is rarely a problem.
Great experience my first time in with Nina. Ill be back!
Ive had my haircut and colored here three times now by Kenzie - Ive never been happier with my hair! She does a wonderful job and everyone Ive encountered there is extremely professional and pleasant - including when Ive had questions about the cost. Louise especially was very helpful with my questions after my appointment today.
I have gotten my hair trimmed, bangs added, and hair dyed at Anaala with great results. My stylist is really nice, and she has always done a great job cutting my hair, so I decided to have my hair dyed there last week. She did a great job working with a complicated dye job -- I had been dying my hair for a long time myself, and she helped me fix issues like roots, multiple colors, and dye not staying in bleached sections. I would highly recommend this salon to anyone (especially those who like Aveda).
My face was white and it didn’t match my skin tone I didn’t like that
Bonnie has been cutting my sons hair for years. We followed her from another salon, as my son absolutely refuses to go to anyone else. She is a great stylist and always a delight.
Consistently awesome service!
After salon shopping all over Madison for a year or so, a friend recommended Anaala Salon at Hilldale. There I met Anna who tamed my slightly course and very curly hair. Anna also went above and beyond when my wedding was approaching, helping me to choose a look (for my hair) and schedule wedding appointments. She introduced me to the person she thought would be able to give me the best formal do for my wedding day and brought her over to chat while I was in for a maintenance appointment. She also did a beautiful job on my nails (hands and feet). I have just relocated to Pennsylvania and will miss Anna and Anaala Salon as I had nothing but positive experiences there for two years.
Great Aveda products AND wine!
Absolutely terrible service and experience. Stylist was cold and rushed to get me out of there, taking no care in my hair. She cut my hair short, uneven, unbalanced, and without texture - when I asked for the opposite of all of these. She hid the poor cut by styling it with product even after I told her I dont do either to my hair. I have taken my business to the other, much better, nearby salons down the road and Ive been very happy since.
With Emily as my stylist, I am in capable hands. I have curly hair that is sometimes unruly, and I always leave with a manageable cut and great color. The service is always friendly and professional, and the salon is clean and organized.
I like this salon a lot and would recommend it to a friend. Leah has been cutting my hair for a while and she always does a great job.
I made an appointment with Bonnie for a hair cut and never recieved a confirmation call. I called to confirm the appointment and left a message for them to call me. I never got a return call and when I called again to confirm my appointment they didnt have me down for a haircut.
Excellent. The quality of their products used and their service is unique. They are not only trendy but traditional in their offerings.
This is my favorite place to get my hair done. I like their products and setting. The girls are super gentle and friendly. Im always happy with my hair when its done there.
Got me in the day before and came out knowing about how the neighborhood came to be populated in the way it is. Very good local information and a great cut!
Best of the best - been going for years. Consistently good but a little on the pricey side.
Love my haircut, love my brow trim, love my stylist Nina,
Today was my first time at Anaala! I had a great experience with Kenzie for my haircut. My hair was in pretty bad condition (lots of split ends) and she did a excellent job with rescuing my hair.I would recommend Anaala at Atwood and Kenzie for anyone needing a great haircut.
Andrea is wonderful. She listens to what I want, but the end result is always a step above!
One word.. AMAZING! 👌🏼
Got a great haircut with Andrea
I love the cut I got, Bonnie definitely did a good job! I will be back again 🤗
Sabrina is amazing!
Problem: Embarrassing haircut described by others as kinda like a mullet, I see what she was trying to do but it didnt work, and you have a shelf on the back of your head.Solution: Obtain 2nd haircut with bona fide stylist at different salon. Never return!
Ive been going to Avicia at Anaala Salon for a little under a year now. I moved to Madison for graduate school and Anaala was recommended by a friend when I was looking for somewhere to get a foil highlight. Avicia took great care to work with me on selecting exactly the right shades for my highlights and was able to blend them perfectly so they looked completely natural.Most recently, I decided to make a drastic change and had my hair cut from well below my shoulders to a pixie style (think Jennifer Lawrences new pixie cut). Working from a few photos I had shown her on my phone, Avicia was able to create exactly the look I was going for. My hair cut looks amazing and Ive gotten so many compliments in the few days since my visit! I would highly recommend Avicia and Anaala to anyone who is looking for a new salon.
It was just a very nice experience over all
Great stylists, thanks!
Very skilled stylists.
Good 👍🏻
Been coming here for years, wont go anywhere else.
Nice haircut by Sabrina
Love It!
Great Service
Great Salon
