What customers said about updos
This place is ABSOLUTELY AMAAAAZING !!! If you want an updo ask for Chloe ! She is fantastic And for make up, ask for Gabby Worth EVERY penny !
I had the BEST experience at Emmett Hair Crew and Color Bar with Elisha! She gave me the most beautiful dimensional blonding—it's perfectly blended with so much depth and brightness. My haircut is exactly what I was hoping for too—fresh, healthy, and it just falls so nicely. Elisha was super sweet and really…
I go to Odell and he is great with my curly hair. He is friendly and client oriented, so I alway have a great experience as well. Great Salon!
Elisha is who I have been searching for. She is truly helping me on my healthy hair journey. Not only is she so helpful and knowledgeable, she is also personable and easy to go to. Just love her and her crew.
Graeber kills it with my extensions! They can do any type of hair texture and color. BRILLIANT!!! I have had so many wonderful services at Graeber in Boise, and I take family and refer friends and associates as often as possible. Incredible, professional staff, highly trained, clean Salon/Spa, it IS what you want for Hair, Makeup, Products, and more.
I am new to Boise and after trying several salons, I have found my new home @ Graeber & Co. The staff is always friendly, &knowledgeable; the facility clean and inviting, the service prompt and flexible. The products speak for themselves!
