Altruist Salon and Boutique

Emily is absolutely amazing. I came in tonight for a cut and color, and I left feeling like a whole new person. As a busy mom of two, I rarely take time for myself, and Emily truly made this experience feel special and relaxing from start to finish. She really listened to what I wanted, made sure I felt comfortable and confident with every step, and gave the best head massage — something I didn’t even realize I needed so badly. My hair looks incredible, but more than that, I felt cared for and seen. I can’t recommend Emily enough if you’re looking for someone who is talented, attentive, and genuinely makes you feel good.

Katie is truly one of a kind. From the moment you sit in her chair, you can tell she genuinely cares—not just about your hair, but about you as a person. She takes her time washing my hair, carefully analyzing its texture, health, and how it naturally works, and then explains what’s best for it instead of rushing through the process. What sets Katie apart is the intention she brings to every appointment. She listens, she pays attention, and she tailors everything specifically to you. I never feel like "just another client"—I always feel welcomed, comfortable, and completely taken care of. Every visit feels personal, relaxing, and thoughtful. If you’re looking for a hairstylist who is talented, attentive, and genuinely invested in her clients, Katie is the one. I wouldn’t trust my hair with anyone else, and I can’t recommend her enough.

I never write reviews - Sydney was unprofessional and did not take the time to read my hair requests before the appointment. I would not trust her with blonde hair. It was my first time ever having my hair colored and she left a green tint across the back of my hair. I also ended up with a darker color than my natural blonde (I wanted lighter) I ended up going to Burton’s and they fixed it.

We moved to Montana recently and I am so happy to have found Emma at Altruist salon. She did a beautiful job and she was able to perfectly match my existing highlights. Emma is very kind and considerate. The atmosphere at the salon is very comfortable and relaxed!

Stephanie cut my hair and I’m absolutely obsessed with it! She understood the assignment and completely killed it. My hair feels so fresh, looks amazing, and I left feeling like the best version of myself. Always such a fun experience and the results never miss.

Inna is an absolute magician! I have fine, very damaged hair (it’s an hot mess) and I came in to get help with a set of poorly done extensions. Inna was patient and kind and a pleasure to spend my session with. She took great care in the choosing and placement of my new extensions, in the highlighting of my hair to match them, and in trimming them just right. I hate getting my hair done and I’m usually trying to just get the thing done and get out, but, Inna and the whole crew at this salon were lovely and welcoming…and my hair has never looked better. Highly recommend!

I made an appointment with Stephanie to help me correct a really bad experience at another salon that had installed new hair extensions for me. Stephanie did an amazing job. Totally fixed everything and had the vision to make my extensions beautifully blend with my own hair. Stephanie is really talented, great vision, extensive knowledge, listens and cares about what I wanted and my concerns. So glad I found her.
