House of Holloway Salon

Unethical business practices, employees are extremely rude. Google reviews were all bribed. Unhappy with hair. Sub-par salon overall and not at the level of other salons with the same prices.

Went in not knowing what I wanted done to my hair but I did know I wanted a change. Taylor helped me out and gave some great advice on what I should do. She gave me her top 3 options for me and then I chose one that I liked the most. Had no idea what I would look like but in the end I ABSOLUTELY LOVE it. It's not a huge drastic change but definitely a change and it is what I wanted. She was able to give her opinion for what I should do and I can say she is definitely GREAT at her job. With the lighting it's hard to see it all but trust when I say it's amazing!! 100/10 would recommend this place and Taylor to anyone I know.

i went to get a layered hair cut on July 10 2021 and left with a feeling that it would look terrible after showering and styling myself and I was correct. There was no problem the salon itself but it was more the hair dresser. I went with Kayla because my friend had gone there as well and got her hair done very nicely and said that they do their best to match the hair to any reference picture you may have. I showed Kayla a picture of what I wanted and she just replied with "oh like a shag cut" which is waaay off from what i asked for. Then she just proceeded to wash and cut my hair while it was wet. After that she just went ahead and blow dried it and it didn't look like what I asked for so I asked if she could define the shorter layer and then she went ahead and practically gave me a karen cut with a longer layer beneath. I cant wait for my next hair cut some where else!

Worst experience at a hair salon I've ever had. Stylist didn't listen at all the what I wanted, basically seemed like she was doing whatever was quick and easiest for her to finish. I asked for a warm Carmel brown with a blonde balayage and she said she was just going to not dye chunks of my hair to give it a blonde look. I have never felt more ugly, I cried for three hours straight afterwards and then stripped the color out. I also asked her to tint my eyebrows and she left the dye in for so long it left my eyebrows looking basically purple. To that she said "oh well I hope you don't have pictures today." Overall it was just an awful experience and left me feeling worse coming out than I did going in.

I went to House of Holloway due to their positive Google reviews. I usually get my hair done out of town when I visit my daughters, or go wherever there's availability here in Lincoln when I'm in a pinch. I wanted to find a regular local spot for cuts and color. My natural hair color is very dark brown (which I hate), and at the time of my visit to House of Holloway, it was dyed a much lighter shade--the shade I wanted my then grown-out roots to match.

From the get go, I gently let my stylist know that I wanted my hair that same lighter shade, and that typically, stylists use a much lighter dye color in order to achieve that effect (this is something I've had done regularly for over 20 years). She brought out a swatch book and chose a swatch that matched my hair color. I again mentioned that it would probably need to be a lighter color in order to get the effect I wanted. She assured me she knew what she was doing.

She applied the dye sloppily and disappeared (I even had to ask someone to wipe some of the dye off my cheeks). My heart dropped when she dried my hair. It was so dark, it was basically the color of my natural hair. I voiced my disappointment, especially considering I'd discussed this with her multiple times prior to the color going on. She didn't offer to try and fix it. She simply said, "Sorry, but I did the best I could," and, "it'll fade after a few washes." (It definitely didn't and still hasn't after over a month.)

I felt extremely sad and disappointed--with the color and uneven cut as well as her indifference. In response to her comment that she'd done what she could, I mentioned that achieving the color I wanted was possible, considering other salons had been able to do so (clearly, since my hair was already the color I wanted, I just needed it touched up). At that point, another woman in the salon interjected, saying, "Then why don't you just go there?" (Meaning other salons.) I was so incredibly shocked, hurt, and embarrassed (there were other clients in the salon at the time) I didn't even know how to respond. I'm not very confrontational by nature, and simply mumbled a quiet, "I will," and left. (I still paid and tipped, by the way.)

I remain flabbergasted and sad that anyone could think that was an appropriate thing to say to a customer--especially after they made a mistake and didn't offer any real recourse.

For the past six months, I've been coloring my hair at home, either with dye from eSalon.com or other boxed drugstores dyes. I usually like the results, but they tend to fade quickly. To kick off a new season, I decided to splurge and get a professional color. I chose this salon because their new stylist was offering a 25% discount with a Facebook referral.

I was pleasantly surprised by how nice the salon was--very bright and cheery. For a Saturday morning, they were surprisingly busy.

Zoe worked with me to find a gorgeous rich red color. Not too dark and not too brown. It's just perfect for fall and a nice change from the copper blond I had before. Despite how busy they were, Zoe made sure to make sure I was comfortable and cared for. I really love the end result and was pleasantly surprised with how affordable it was. I would definitely recommend this salon to anyone looking for affordable salon services.

I've been looking for a new place to regularly get my hair done. I have hair that is a pain and very difficult to do right. Cat did an amazing job! The price was below what I was expecting, and the shampooing was relaxing and more like a scalp massage than anything! Professional, proficient, and friendly with a great price. I can't recommend this place enough!

If there was no star I would give it to them.
I had haircut "a month ago". The salon was so dirty and the place was full of hair, and the products were so dusty
And she used a dirty comb from the previously served customer. The lady that was doing my hair had accent she said she was owner and all she talked was about her daughter which wasn't so interesting to me and she was pushing me to buy product, but I didn't like my haircut so I didn't buy anything and my hair looks like chunk cut and I didn't get good layers when I asked her she said it looks fine to her and she was a little rude I would never go to this place again.
And now they are keep sending me rude reply over my comment and bad experience. Wtf

Everyone I encountered at House of Holloway was friendly and professional. I called at 4 pm to see if I could come in for a cut and by 4:45 my hair was freshly trimmed and beautiful again. My haircut was with Rachel and she was wonderful! She's super sweet and did a great job. I was pleasantly surprised by the price - very affordable and worth every penny. I'd go back in a heartbeat!

Yikes! My fiancé had a coupon in the mail for a free haircut so he took a chance...we are now both laughing/trying not to cry at his euro-mullet haircut that looks like it was done by a small child still learning to wield scissors. Luckily it was free and the woman was nice and apologetic. But he will have to go somewhere else to get it fixed. Bummer.
