Drift Salon

Meg is great. I tried a bunch of places in Anchorage for a good haircut until I found her.

We absolutely loved our experience here! My man decided after 3 years of growing his hair out that he wanted a change. Being semi new to the area, we didn’t want to go to just anyone. After reading through tons of reviews we made an appointment at Drift with Laura. She was super sweet and the atmosphere in the salon was very comfortable. She took her time and made sure he got exactly what he was wanting! We will definitely be coming back! Two thumbs WAY up! THANK YOU LAURA!

I just had a fabulous wash and style by Kelly for a party I’m going to this evening. Also got brows cleaned up. Felt very comfortable and listened to. Also Kelly spent lots of time and suggested some fun ideas.
I would highly recommend this salon to anyone wanting excellent service.

Meg Allen is the best! Find her at the newly renamed Drift Salon. She’s great for color and cut, and works really well if you’re very specific about what you’re looking for.

I called and got a same day appointment, which is fantastic. I had highlights put in and a cut from Holly, and I absolutely love what she did. Holly was fantastic; she listened and delivered exactly what we discussed. The salon is very clean, and the entire staff was friendly and upbeat, without being obnoxious. I will be returning for my next hair cut.

Horrible experience at Meg Allen. I haven’t had my eyebrows done in a while because I was so busy so I decided on my off day to get them done. After finding a groupon for the salon for eyebrow waxing, I decided to try it out. Big mistake on my part.
It was convenient when I first went in because they let me do a walkin however that is the only good part about this whole experience. Allison who did my eyebrows left a huge gapin the middle between my brows which I absolutely hate and on top of that did not shape them the way I wanted, she also dropped the wax stick in my hair while she was doing my eyebrows. Instead of taking it out with oil like she said she was going to do she started just pulling it out which resulted in my hair getting pulled out multiple times which I figured would stop after saying ouch and it hurts multiple times. Now I have a little bald patch and messed up brows.

I went and saw Paige at Meg Allen recently and I am hooked on this stylist! My hair was somewhat damaged and just looked awful from a previous stylist constantly bleaching it. I have a very nice ash blonde natural hair color and I decided I would like a very natural highlight with a light ombré at the ends. I emphasized I was trying to go more towards my natural color. I also have very thin hair and she recommended a cut that would allow my hair to look fuller and even feel a little fuller. She was so on point and I am just completely satisfied. So satisfied that she received a $ 50 tip! So happy that I finally found someone that knows what they’re doing!
On the actual salon: the décor is GORGEOUS. I’m a vintage kind of girl and this place has a romantic vintage feel. Very comfortable. The young receptionist had a very welcoming smile and as I was leaving was very kind and asked me to come back. Which I definitely will be. :)

LOVE LOVE LOVE Meg Allen! I’ve going to V for years and have recommended this salon to about 6 others friends who also go here now. Love them, you won’t be disappointed! Aveda and great décor! :)

My new favorite salon! Love this place!!!

Have been a regular at Meg Allen since it opened. Once again, had a fantastic experience & Valerie did a fantastic job with my haircut!

I don’t know how she did it, but Alisha was able to take my abstract/​convoluted hair style requests and turn my hair into exactly what I was thinking! I’m still baffled by how she did that. And both she and Tyler (front counter superhero) were really nice and helpful. Top notch service and super friendly atmosphere.

Never disappointed… !!
My old hair stylist used to own the salon before Meg Allen Salon and Spa took over. I’ve had three different stylists @ Meg Allen (Senior & Junior Stylists) and they were all fabulous.
I just had my hair cut from Olivia. She was very attentive to what I was looking for in my hair cut and I didn’t feel like she was rushing my appointment either. She took her time, she was friendly, and very cute :)
Oh, and I love their tea at the salon!

I think I have finally found a place that doesn’t look like I got into a fight with Edward Scissorhands. Called and got an appointment on the same day (on Saturday). Men’s haircuts are $ 25 to $ 45 depending on the stylist’s experience.
I really like the way this place is managed — manager at the front desk was very cool — took my jacket and made me a cup of tea.
I showed up early and the stylist was available (I HATE waiting at salons). Sat down, got a scalp massage, a great shampoo and condition, and a nice hair cut. The stylist was an absolute doll…
This wasn’t your $ 14, 20 minute hair cut at Great Clips down the street — this was like almost an entire hour. Now I see why women love spas — it is nice to be have someone cater to you!
I’m definitely coming back. A very good find in Anchorage. Perfect location for Southsiders…

This place is fantastic! I have short hair and have never found a better stylist than Meg. The staff is exceptional and the salon is fantastic. It has an unique and upscale feel unlike any other salon I have found here in Anchorage. I always enjoy browsing through there jewelry and skincare products before/​after my appointment. I have never had a bad experience at this salon and always love my haircut afterwards. The cuts are well worth the price! I love that they carry Aveda and Bumble and Bumble products. Overall, this is a great salon and well worth a visit.

Finally tried out this place after I got the groupon. First of all, I love the décor; french country accent furniture, soothing music and neutral/​cool colors. The manager greeted me and offered me water, coffee or tea. He was extremely professional. They have a nice tea blend. The stylist basically followed what I wanted; just a trim, and my hair looks nice. They sell Aveda and Bumble and Bumble products. They do keratin treatments, but I asked to be shown shampoo/​conditioners for keratin, and it looked like they didn’t stock anything specifically for blowouts.
This place definitely has the nice, upscale atmosphere I’m looking for in a salon. Prices are up there at $ 55 for a cut, but it was a nice visit.

I’ll keep this simple.
My wife went but she doesnt use Unilocal like me so Im posting for her.
She’s always hot, but after going to the salon she came back hotter and happier.
She wants to go back but we dont live here.
Next year.

My best friend got married yesterday and we went to Meg Allen salon to do hair and makeup. My friend requested a very complicated up do which Meg Allen herself did. It turned out fantastic! She listened to my friend and did exactly what she asked.
I, myself, also had an up do done. I have very, very long, very thick, hair. It took 3 hours to finish! Of course, this wasn’t the hair dressers fault at all. The fact that she was able to get all of my hair pinned up in little curls is nothing short of a miracle. So if you doubt their ability to put up hair, ask for Rees, she’s fantastic.
The makeup artists are very profesisonal and really let you tell them what you want.
The salon is comfortable and classy. We were pampered with fruit and mimosas while we were getting our hair done.
I really enjoyed our time we spent there and really recommend them to everyone!
