beware

by rfd2008

I made an appointment at Cheveux based a great deal on these reviews, which I realize in hindsight are most likely written by Cody and his 'girls' at Cheveux and a few close, personal friends. The ambiance of the salon is fine, but not 'big city chic' like all the reviews rave about. There are definitely nicer salons in GR. The lighting is also very poor in the salon, so you don't really know what you've got until you get into the daylight.

I went in for a cut/color with Cody. He is a very nice man and seemed very articulate, educated and intelligent about his work - the actual execution of his knowledge failed. He told me he was going to give me a 'whole new look'! And knew 'exactly what he was going to do!' 41/2 hours and just shy of $200 later, what I got was orange hair and a 'trim'. My new 'look' is horrendous and now I'll be paying another $200 for a color correction and an actual hair cut at another salon.

Exceptional Salon!

by lavenderfield1

I recently visited this salon after seeing it on Maranda's tv show. I was initially put on a waiting list when I called, but to my luck and the bad weather lately a cancellation allowed me to get an appointment. My immediate response when I walked in the door was "WOW!" The place has such a modern look but still so amazingly inviting and homey. I must say the holiday decorations were probably without a doubt the coolest I have ever seen. The place felt so alive. Cody greeted me and did my hair that day. What a skillful man. We started completely from scratch and I got a brand new look. I am so thankful for all the great service and have felt like a million bucks ever since. I get numerous compliments everyday! Thanks to Maranda I have finally found the master of grand rapids. I'll be back soon and will bring all my friends!

• Pros: Location, Decor, Staff, Cody

Best haircut experience I've ever had!

by KariNeko

I was a little worried about getting my hair cut since I've always had long, frizzy, and wavy hair but as soon as I stepped in I was hooked! The atmosphere is relaxing and cheerful and you feel right at home. Anna was super friendly and talked me through each step she was doing so that I could do it at home as well. She gave me a cut and style that I could wear in a variety of ways (both straight and curly) and that l looked great on me.

What REALLY did it for me was the fact that I asked about making an appointment to wax my eyebrows but she did it right then and there for me even though we were running late. Best service I've ever gotten and I'm going to keep going there as long as I live near G.R. Thanks Anna!

• Pros: Ambience, Friendly, Great Service
• Cons: Can be a little tricky to find if you're not familar with downtown
