Milvali Salon & Cosmetics

Michelle King at Milvali Salon on Union is a consistently fabulous hair stylist! I have been going to her since August 2023 and she is always on-point with the blonde highlights and great at cutting my long, curly hair. There have been periods of time where I wanted curtain bangs, wanted my hair darker, needed adjustment in the toning of my hair, wanted my hair longer, etc -- and she is very accommodating. Most times I don't want heat applied to my hair, and she is flexible with what the customer wants, non-judgmental and respectful. I also enjoy spending time with her, because she is entertaining and cute. She may be pricy ($110-$450 depending on the treatment), but her hair care and the investment is worthwhile. And my hair is a feature that I love showing off! Check out my hair over the years... Milvali Salon is on Union Street, which is nice because it's in a cool area with lots of shopping. The salon itself is an upscale boutique vibe, which is comfortable and cool. There's music, good lighting and friendly people. The street parking isn't great (unless you get lucky), so I usually go for the parking garage across the street. Booking is easier over the telephone. Their online booking is not easy because you cannot book more than one service at a time (like a partial highlight + haircut). Better to just call during business hours.

Honey was the best hair stylist I’ve ever had. She not only transformed my flat hairstyle into a cut that made me feel beautiful, but she went above and beyond to teach me how to style it too. She taught me how to curl it so I’d feel great leaving the salon and also feel confident styling it on my own in the weeks to follow. Super kind, personable, and skilled. Will be going back to Honey and would highly recommend her!

I can confidently say this is the best place for extensions. The way they install and maintain them has truly kept the integrity of my natural hair intact for the past two years. My hair has never looked healthier, fuller, or more beautiful. If you’re looking for extensions done right — this is the place to go The hair is exceptionally I mean honestly the quality is next level and long lasting. All the girls are great obviously Deb is the owner and she is a legend.

5 stars, no notes! I booked a haircut and my stylist took the time to truly understand my vision and delivered exactly that. I left feeling refreshed and happy with the results. Everyone in interacted with was warm and professional, and the overall vibe was laid back, but still super polished and professional. On top of an amazing service experience, the booking process was super easy too. The front desk team was friendly, responsive, and made the whole scheduling process a breeze. The salon itself feels clean, welcoming, and organized from start to finish. Highly recommend this spot if you want great service, an easy booking process, and a cut that actually turns out better than you pictured.

I went in for hair extensions removal and reapplication, and Fidel was amazing throughout the whole process. He not only did a flawless job with the extensions but also treated my hair with a great mask that left it feeling so soft and healthy. To finish, he gave me a fantastic styling that I absolutely loved. Fidel is professional, attentive, and really talented—I couldn’t be happier with the result. Highly recommend him!

I buy all my Kevin Murphy and Oribe products here as well as my curling irons. I went in and saw Fiona for a color correction. I previously had black hair and now have a gorgeous red color. I also got a long layered haircut with a bang trim and it frames my face so nicely. It is a beautiful ambiance, and the best experience every time. I love visiting Milvali and always leaving with perfect hair. PS. They also offer lash extensions here!

During my last visit for an expensive service, my stylist took a photograph of a problem area without my knowledge or consent, despite the fact that I had been explicit from my very first appointment that I do not allow photographs. When she later disclosed this to me and showed me the image, she admitted that she had taken it deliberately and "sneakily" because she knew I did not like pictures. I felt humiliated and deeply betrayed. I had already tipped her $500 in good faith to account for the issues with my extensions. To then learn that my privacy had been knowingly violated, with the stated intention of showing the image to others and discussing me, destroyed my trust and confidence entirely. Her actions were a serious and intentional violation of my privacy and professional boundaries and made it impossible for me to feel comfortable in her presence again. EDITED TO ADD THE FOLLOWING AFTER MILVALI RESPONSE TO MY REVIEW STATING IT WAS A MISCOMMUNICATION: There is no misunderstanding. From my first appointment, I clearly stated that I do not consent to photographs. That boundary was knowingly violated, by the Stylist’s own admission. She described her conduct as deliberate and "sneaky." That was her word, not mine. She further stated that the photograph was taken with the intention of showing it to others because she believed "they would not otherwise believe the poor condition of my hair". Any prior agreement to limited "after" photos, under specific conditions and without my face included, does not authorize or excuse any photographs for any purpose taken without my knowledge or consent. This was a serious breach of trust and professional boundaries. It ended the professional relationship and is why I will not be engaging in further discussion by phone, email, text, or otherwise.
