I started going to Graeber & Company earlier this year, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! Odell and Brian have both been incredible stylists and have done a fantastic job helping me embrace a new look. After more than 30 years of wearing the same skin fade with a half-inch on top, I decided it was time…
I originally went to Maddie for a color correction after an experience at another salon, but ended up getting a transformational haircut and toner instead. I’m likely going to lose my hair soon because of chemotherapy, so I wanted to go short. I had an idea in mind, but I really appreciated being able to talk…
What a nice relaxing place to come to. Everyone is friendly! Looking forward to my next cut! Thank you for my cut Raul.
Caidence gave me beautiful babylights and a gorgeous cut, I couldn’t be more pleased - highly recommend her work! Fantastic experience and results!
Katie valley was lovely and gave great scalp massage with shampoo
Changed my trip just so I could get in to see Meg and have her cut my hair! I appreciate her advice, knowledge and abilities! She does such a great job and it’s always a joy to spend time with her and leave with a great cut and a big smile! ☺️
I leave Graeber & Company feeling great and looking terrific! Trust these people to listen, apply genuine skills, and leave you all the better for choosing them.
EXCELLING AND RELAXING
Amanda did a phenomenal job! I have some thiiick and course hair. She taught me a lot about what products to use and why. Thank you!!
Alex is a star. Having lived in Ireland, London, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Maastricht, Paris, Hong Kong, San Francisco, Boston, DC, NYC with no stylist comparing with her. Keep her happy….our fellow customers will do everything to keep her right here in Boise.
I love going to Graeber’s. It’s a safe and a customer-forward environment. And it’s not just about an exceptional shampoo, scalp massage and cut. I feel more confident when I walk out that door. It’s something you do just for yourself. Odell makes me feel as if I look good and younger than I am! And, that’s a good thing in my 70’s.
Alex always spends so much time with me and getting cut right!!
She is a rock star and my kid loves her and his cut. Everytime!
Danielle was fantastic and truly listened to what I wanted with my hair. It can be scary going to a new salon/stylist and Danielle completely understood that. My hair turned out beautiful and I’m so happy with it!
Raul is hands down one of the best hair artists in Boise! He doesn’t just give you a haircut, he gives you a full experience. From the moment you sit in his chair, he makes you feel welcome and comfortable while taking the time to listen, educate you about your hair, and make sure you leave feeling confident. His…
I so enjoyed Amber’s kind, attentive, quick and thorough salon service, she is very skilled at listening and providing a great quality haircut and style, and she is a lovely person to get to know! I am so happy to have found her!
This place is amazing. Chloe did an awesome job! My hair looks better than it has in years.
Josh always does the most amazing job on my hair! His customer service is five star and I can’t wait to book with him again!
First ever appt. Reception was lovely, offering coffee, water etc. Cut & tone with Josh was fab & started on time. Loved the final result & he was kind/professional from start to finish. Relaxing experience. Will be back.
Alyssa did an amazing job with my child, Eli’s, haircut! She took the time to understand exactly what Eli wanted and created a style that suits them perfectly. What really stood out was how thoroughly she explained how to maintain the cut at home and walked us through what to expect for future highlight…
Excellent service at Graeber, as always. Odell is by far the nicest and best stylist I have ever had. Would highly recommend this salon for both hair and facial services!
Lina is so attentive and ensures my total experience is fantastic!! Great hair color, great care. Thanks Lina 😊 EVERY time 👍
Graebers has great staff and my stylist, Amanda, is particularly exceptional with her cuts, color, and hair treatments. I have never been happier with my hair results!
I had THE BEST haircut I have ever had since I moved to Idaho today at Graebers!!!!!
Patchouli is amazing. Great haircut, great styling, great conversation, and plenty of hair education which is what i always look forward to. Shes helping my hair get healthy,strong, and long again without major compromising on the fun colors I like
Graebers is a lovely salon with top notch customer service! Patchouli listened to what I wanted and gave me an adorable hair cut for my curly hair. Thank you Patchouli!!
Outstanding service, high quality experience. Love my stylist, Petchouli, and got just what I asked for. Very beautiful salon.
Katie is awesome! If you have any type of bob haircut, she's definitely the stylist you want! She, also, does a wonderful job with hair color!
Very knowledgeable and explained options well.
Wonderful service! Beautiful haircut and styling.
Chloe was great! My hair looks beautiful:)! The salon is so nice!
I asked for partial highlights this go round, and the blending and level of blonding Josh gave me is absolutely gorgeous. I appreciated so much that he ensured to check in with me about the size of highlighted pieces and placement for a naturally sun kissed look. Book with Josh!
Always a pleasure with Hannah. She takes the time to make sure of what you want.
I got to see Danielle! My hair has been seriously through it… the level 1 bands, dryness and overall chaos. She handled it so professionally and reassuring. Performed a test strand, consulted with others and gave me positive and realistic expectations on solutions. I was so impressed and I came out with the most…
What a lovely experience. Beautiful salon! Shelbie took the time to help clarify my needs, and she gave me a beautiful cut.
Odell is extremely competent and a good conversationalist. I look forward to my visits.
Thank you Ryan for making me feel pretty again!
If you haven’t booked with Patchouli, what are you doing? She was really amazing, and never made any of our conversation awkward or uncomfortable. I showed her a picture of what haircut I wanted and she made my hair exactly like the picture! There is no complaints about anything she did while she was doing my hair.…
I came in for a color correction from a faded red hair back to my natural brunette with some dimension and very blended and lived in. I wasn’t super picky about the exact placement of the foils for the dimension but what I got done by Amber was lacking technique and objectively bad. She took about four hours to…
Cannot say enough about this experience or my stylist, Angelina! She made me feel so at ease and comfortable in a busy salon environment, talked me through each step in the process, and her personality had me laughing the whole time! My hair came out perfectly! This woman knows how to throw down some color! If you…
Dannielle was amazing! She listened to all of my concerns about my hair and gave great recommendations and brought my vision to life. Gorgeous work! Also the head massage was incredible.
Amanda always does a magnificent job. Professional, friendly, very thorough and very delightful. I really love going to get my hair done by Amanda!
Had such a nice time and love my hair. The young lady that was next to Chloe was kind enough to get me water . Such a nice experience.
Enjoyed my visit to Graeber today! The salon was beautiful and staff were extremely efficient and friendly! Ryan did an amazing job on my hair! She listened to me, understood what I wanted and executed it beautifully! The jade eye mask, hand massage and delicious iced latte from the attached coffee shop was the icing on the cake!!
Hannah is amazing! She listens to exactly what I want in relation to my hair goals and you can tell she truly cares about not only her clients hair, but also her clients lives in general. 100% recommend her to anyone looking to get an amazing haircut and great company as well!
Best salon in Boise!
They really care about your experience and your comfort! They are on top of ensuring every step is to your liking. Christina has been so friendly—checking on my coffee at the coffee shop next door, putting quarters into my parking meter, and making sure I am relaxed. Love it!
Everyone was so professional and welcoming…my stylist Alyssa nailed the vision I had for my hair and I love it!
Josh is my go-to and honestly I don't trust easily when it comes to my hair — especially my bangs. He's consistent every single time, listens to what I want, and I always walk out looking exactly how I hoped. If you're particular about your cut and style, he's your person.
We (myself, son & daughter) have been with our stylist, Alex, for almost 5 years. She’s amazing in how she connects with all of us and genuinely cares about how we feel when we leave the salon.
Raul was fantastic. Obviously knows what he is doing. Explained what he was doing in order for me to easily replicate my hairstyle at home.
Awesome men’s cuts and blowdry! Definitely recommend!!!
Great service, great cut and great conversation
Amanda S. is the best! Always recommending the best cut for my lifestyle, facial features, and ease of styling. Love, love , love her personality, and care!
Chloe was incredible, as always! Not only did she give me a cute cut, she also gave me product recommendations, styling tips, and guidance on things to try while I’m waiting for some thickness to develop.
Odell is the best! And, the Graeber team ensures that my visit is always exceptional.
This was my first time visiting Katie, and I am thoroughly delighted with my hair cut. She listened to me and took all the idiosyncrasies of my crazy hair into consideration. When leaving, she made sure I knew that if I should think of anything that was a concern to me to let her know, and she would work with me to make it right! Thanks Katie!
Incredible experience and service! I wanted to establish a new hair style and not was it brought to life but I was guided from start to finish on how to style and care for my hair on my own between services. I’m so glad I came in and look forward to my next service!
Excellent experience! Katie listened to my questions carefully, made suggestions on how to alter my hair style, and I am very happy with my haircut.
Excellent service!
Patchouly does a great job. I like how she educates you on what product works for your hair/ hairstyle.
I got a wash, style, and tinsel as well! I had the best conversation, expedience, and service! I can’t wait to go back again, you must ask for Ike ❤️
Danny is an excellent hairdresser AND a beautiful human being.
The new location is lovely. I need to figure out my parking strategies!
Lina was sweet and warm and I enjoyed meeting her. It was clear that she not only loves what she does but she is great at it. From the moment I walked in the door to when I walked out, the whole experience and each employee I interacted with was excellent. I look forward to going back! Thank you!!!
Absolutely love my hair transformation!!!
Shelby was just what I needed!! She was warm and welcoming and she knew her shit. I had come in from a prior experience at another salon that was not what I was hoping for. Soooooo I came in a mess and left looking and feeling amazing. AND my hair was just like the pic I brought, even with the challenges my hair…
Caidence was amazing and I loved the entire experience, so relaxing and my hair turned out gorgeous!
Alyssa Kroboth was amazing! She listened to my hair requests and did what I wanted her to do and more! She gently recommended which specific treatment would be best for my particular hair concerns. She gave me a soothing scalp massage and a quality haircut (and shampoo) in a beautiful, modern, and clean salon. Go to…
Megan really listened to my hair habits and concerns. She explained what and why I could easily do with products I have and products I could add to my routine. There was no pressure and only professionalism paired a friendly, inclusive, non-judgemental approach to hair style and care. Thank you!
Gabby did my makeup for me before I attended a local gala. She did an outstanding job - we are so fortunate to have such an experienced professional in our community. I was glammed up perfectly!
I asked Christina to just cut my hair the way she wanted to cut it and she did a beautiful job.
Amanda S has an excellent way of turning a simple haircut into a life-changing experience! I really mean this! She genuinely cares about taking the time to get to know a person, their lifestyle, their hair habits, and then transforms the outcome with a “for you” look! Not to mention, she educated me on how to get…
absolutely wonderful, an amazing experience & Meg is so sweet & did an amazing job🫶🏻
The service was great from checkin to departure. Amanda listened and gave me a style I love with tips along the way to replicate on my own. I get so many compliments on my hair!
Had an amazing experience. Friendly service! Will definitely recommend.
Very conversational and fun! Kept me in the loop about what she was doing the entire time and was super collaborative when it came to asking if I wanted changes and putting them into effect. Very much look forward to booking her again!
Love the cut, the people and great conversation. Always so wonderful!!
This is my second time at Graeber & Co and have been seen by Katie on both occasions. She is caring, calm and attentive. She gave me the exact cut I was hoping for and I’ve now left both appointments feeling confident. It feels good to find a stylist and salon that cares about the details and you! Thanks so much Katie!
So glad I found this salon! Danny was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and reassuring. I haven't been to a salon in 30 years (been cutting my own hair all that time). I started losing lots of hair and deciding to go with an expensive hair piece. Before talking to Danny I was concerned with it being cut wrong and…
Hannah is amazing! I always leave loving my hair. She is thorough and fun to talk with throughout the appointment! Highly recommend visiting Hannah! I always tell my friends and coworkers to go see Hannah or anyone at Graeber & Company!
Amanda was efficient, knowledgeable, engaged and personable. Thank you for a wonderful cut and style! You know your stuff!
It took me some time to even get the courage to write this my experience was so bad. My stylist as always was amazing. I've been following my stylist to different shops for over 10 years and she is amazing. The one star is for the poor treatment from the company itself. I've never been to this business before and I…
Chloe is absolutely incredible not only with hair but with building relationships with her clients and making them feel welcomed and cared for! Found my hairstylist for life, very grateful!
Maddie was delightful. Kind, meticulous and funny. I really enjoyed her and appreciate her willingness to take me last minute. Thank you, Maddie!
So kind and supportive! Meg Sage did an amazing job with my very long hair, taking extra care to keep as much length as possible while also addressing all my needs and cutting some fantastic bangs! I felt very comfortable and time flew by with all the laughs. I look forward to my next appt with her!
As always ManDee is an absolute professional who's artistry with color is unmatched. I have never been happier with salon services.
I so enjoyed my salon experience! Great skills, helps in decision-making, and fun conversations! I will enjoy loosing length and gaining style! THANKS!
Christina is an amazing artist! My hair looks and feels fantastic! I am so relaxed and rejuvenated. Great experience start to finish 😊
This was my first booking with Olivia. She took the time to get to know my preferences for hairstyles and color. She did an amazing job. I love my new look!
Caidence did an excellent job! She listened to my concerns and customized the experience accordingly. She saw my vision and made it happen! I highly recommend her!
Kerri always goes above and beyond. My hair always looks and feels amazing.
I’ve been a client of Brian’s for the past six months, and I can confidently say that his haircuts and beard trims are consistently 10/10. It's not just the quality of his work that keeps me coming back; Brian has a remarkable ability to connect with his clients on a personal level, making each visit a genuinely…
Exactly what I wanted I love it so much
Katie is a wonderful stylist, she captured the color I was hoping to achieve, and I left feeling and looking rejuvenated.
Very nice and sweet woman! Katie pulled off my original hair color with more highlights for dimension amazingly well! I feel like a brand new me and it’s just in time for birthday celebrations. You’re amazing thank you Katie!
Always a beautiful, relaxing experience at Graeber with Mandi! Soooo relaxing and enjoyable, plus a great hair styling!
When I come out of the salon after an appointment with Amber, I am always smiling and feeling confident!
Awesome experience, my stylist was very professional and easy to talk to. Her 'chairside' manner was amazing. She did such a good job I booked my next appointment before I left and look forward to my next appointment.
Loved my hair cut and my stylist, Meg Sage was very knowledgeable about products and approaches that would best meet my hair needs and goals. She was easy and fun to talk to and provided the most relaxing scalp massage and deep moisture and shine treatment. great experience, I will definitely be back!
This salon is a scam. I came to further blonde my hair after my previous stylist got me most of the way, but left me with massive brass. There was no more than some semi-permanent toner on my bleached hair when I came in here, so when the manager responds to this review and tries to say they were correcting previous…
I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with my short pixie. Grow it or keep it. Amber discussed options with me and gave me an awesome cut. When your hair is as short as mine, a good cut is imperative! For now, we're doing a controlled grow out 🤞🏻. Thank you Amber for your advice and the great feeling & looking cut!!
Patchouli is a very nice person. She took the time to listen to what type of haircut I’d like. She even styled it. I’ll be back down in August and hope to make an appointment again. Keep up the Great Work! 5 Stars
I have been Alyssa's client for almost 2 years so when she moved to Graeber, I went to Graeber. The salon is quiet and professional with a large selection of products and services. The overall vibe is quiet and relaxing. Alyssa has always been up front about helping me reach my hair goals and what it will entail.…
Update! Another great haircut today. Odell is consistently great. And there’s a gracious, friendly new(-ish) employee named Ike who has the perfect touch as he massages your hair while shampooing it. I’d seek him out if I could. Original review: Odell is the best! His ability to work with (not against!) the…
ManDee is simply the best!
Excellent salon. The staff are well trained and the client care is exceptional. Aveda products are worth the extra cost in my opinion. The stylists know their stuff and I can trust my health matters to the company. Can’t recommend them highly enough.
Patchouli is super attentive and listens well to what her clients needs are. Sitting in her chair is a joy. Loved the education I got from her regarding how to love my hair more. She absolutely nailed what I was looking for.
The best!
I love my haircut and my stylist, Danny!
Alex is an amazing stylist and enjoy every appointment with her. I always leave with an excellent haircut
Nicole was an absolute delight! She listened to my needs and gave me an amazing blowout. Her scalp massage during my shampoo was out of this world, relaxing, and just with this momma needed. I will absolutely book with her again!
Emily did amazing! Even with my not knowing what I really wanted and came up with amazing colors for my hair. The cut is perfect and she actually listened to what I do for my job and made the cut still be workable. Great conversation without it feeling forced. I’ll definitely be recommending her to all my friends. Added the before picture and some post 🥰
I had such a wonderful experience with Christina. Love her attention to detail and desire to give you a full experience. I love the arm massage and soothing eye mask she uses when rinsing my hair. It truly adds a luxurious touch to the visit.
Amber was excellent, great color and styling
Hanna was my hairstylist and she is awesome. I love my haircut and more importantly, my wife loved my haircut. I recommend you come see her if you want a great experience.
Kerri is hands down the best stylist I’ve ever had! She’s not only incredibly talented and knowledgeable, but also brings such a fun, uplifting energy to every appointment. Truly amazing in every way!
Nicole S. is so great at helping you figure out what you’re wanting to achieve with your hair. She recommends great products, but doesn’t push anything that you don’t want or need. Love her!
I had an amazing experience with Hannah! She truly listened to what I wanted and delivered beyond my expectations. Her attention to detail, skill, and friendly personality made the entire appointment so fun. I’ve received so many compliments, and I couldn’t be happier with the results!!
Danny gave me the haircut I didn’t know I wanted! So glad I didn’t show him the photo I brought because he really listened to what I said and gave me the style that flattered my face—not to mention the expert haircut to make it happen. Afterwards he took the time to explain how each of the products worked best on my hair and why he chose them. Thank you!
Always have a great chat and receive a wonderful cut from Amber!
Hannah was absolutely amazing. Gave me exactly what I was looking for, even with my very limited hairstyle knowledge. She was wonderful to talk to, and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of my haircut. Haircut alone was a 10/10, Hannah made it an 11/10
Had a great experience at Graeber and Company. Amber did a great job.
EMILY WAS PHENOMENAL! I had no idea how I wanted my hair done, all I knew was what I DIDNT want done. I was THAT person today. My hair was quite the project today and Emily far exceeded any expectations I had for the result. Not only did she make me look beautiful, but she never once made me feel like my project…
When you get services from the best stylist in town, it’s always a great day at Graeber and Co! Odell is the best!
Christina is so personable. I can’t say enough about how comfortable she made me feel. Christina shared so much about herself and made it easy for me to share about myself. Her expertise is bar none and she thoroughly enjoys her career. She is confident in her abilities which made me confident about how my style…
It was easy for me to explain what I wanted with my cut. I felt she was really listening to me and she did a fantastic job.
Danny is a skilled professional. He gives me the best service and greatest haircuts. I would not go to anyone else. Danny has spoiled me and has me looking my best every time I see him, which is every 5 weeks. Thank you Danny.
As always, I enjoyed an excellent experience with stylist Katie at Graeber’s. The new location is fun and lovely❤️
She was incredibly kind, and her work on my hair exceeded all my expectations.
Hi Hannah, thanks for an awesome “lid”. Hannah did a perfect haircut and was fun to chat with. I highly recommend.
Danny is by far the very best hair stylist I have ever had. I just moved to Idaho 2 years ago and hadn’t been to a salon until I started with Danny this past October. I was worried that nothing could be done to help my dry damaged hair. Danny has helped me enjoy my hair again! He has supported me through my journey…
Amanda is my favorite stylist ever, she is so sweet. My hair always turns out so good, and she is one of the first people I have trusted to cut my hair short!!!
Christina is a great listener and takes her time on me! And she is up-to-date with the styles and I always leave feeling so good!
I got half my hair cut off this time. Odell did a wonderful job and I'm so happy with it. As anticipated!
Loved my haircut and the education about my hair type.
Beth is a true professional stylist with superb service, knowledge and ability. Thank you, Beth, for the best haircut I have ever received. I am looking forward to my next haircut with you.
Beth was knowledgeable, kind, and precise. She answered my many questions about style and product tips and took a great deal of care with my haircut and style. I will definitely schedule with her again for my next cut.
Meg is awesome. She has a great eye for textured cuts which is exactly what I was looking for. Great experience all around. Thanks, girl! I’ll be back!
Graeber & Co is the best salon! The stylists are experts, the staff is welcoming & competent, & the management is committed to growing the skills of the team as well as the heart of the organization. I won't go anywhere else!
