The Mane Thing

This salon has good service however the price is like your in NY. For high/​low lights and a cut I was charged $ 220! I asked 4 different times for why u was charged so much. The front desk lady told me it’s just because it was your first visit… Ummm no! I went by the brochure pricing and was thinking I would pay $ 110 – 130 and when she was finished, they tell me $ 220! Smh

Thought I was going to get a great haircut by the senior artistic hair stylist, but came out with a lop-​sided mushroom. The left and right sides of my hair were cut completely different and the left side was a bit shorter! Glad I’m moving!

Not recommended for those that want good quality service. I have had SEVERAL problems here. First a few years back I asked for a body wave and got a super tight nasty perm. Had to cut my hair to about my ears almost. Shitty pedicures that build up a white residue on top of polish just 1 day after. Also tried getting my hair and makeup done for our ball and my husband made me take it all off because he said I looked like a whore (in lesser words) the make up was heavy and the lashes were falling off before I even got home, my hair looked like a rats nest not to mention the bobby pins were also falling out before getting home. Do not go there. Also, headlines is owned by the same person but they constantly change their prices (never the same). I would recommend going anywhere but here! They rip people off! Not happy at all.

Good service but over priced!!! Everything is so expensive! I received a gift certificate for $ 80 and I still had to pay $ 20 and I got a mani/​pedi and I arched my eyebrows. I had to go back the next day bc within a day one of my nails broke.

I got terrible service done. I went in to get a spa package and was not satisfied for the service compared to the price that I payed. The prices are outrageous, the service is unwelcoming, and the hairstylists themselves do not have any skill to base their work on. Take my recommendation and do not go to The Mane Thing!

I used to go here while living in JC… Loved it most of the time but the last couple visits there was attitude from an employee. I absolutely LOVE Amber who does nails and styles hair. (she looks like Tracy on Jerseylicious!) There is another nail tech who I feel charges way too much and needs to go back to school to do nails and pedicures b/​c shes horrible at them.
Pricing is a little expensive, esp for eye brows and nails/​mani/​pedicures.
Owner (rhonda) will make up for any wrong doing tho, has always offered a discount or free service is something was messed up.

Went in for a pedicure. The girl was really nice but their price for a pedicure was insane! I paid 41 for a basic pedicure. I just moved from hawaii and could get a pedicure of the same value for max 25 $. Things are supposed to be cheaper on the main land. The only saving grace of having to shell out that much was the nice conversation I had sitting it.

While the salon is clean and the work up to par, their pricing system is absurd. I went in to get my acrylic nails filled and she refused to remove my old product in the manner I was accustomed, telling me I didn’t know how to deal with nails like mine. She made me remove the bulk of the product on my nails and glued on tips, after I had told her I did not want tips. Instead of the fills I asked for, she did a full set.
After an hour and a half, my nails were finally done – with an eighty dollar price tag. Too much for too little service. She then pushed for me to set up a follow-​up appointment, but added that she would be out of town the week I would have needed it, so I’d have to wait. Needless to say, I will not return.

***Revised Review***
Never again… terrible! Aside from the level system, one should know how to do a simple flat iron. One shouldn’t come out looking like a hay stack and having to fix it. Cheap flat irons and below standard technique.
I will stick with my stylist in Derby, thank you. :)
***Older Review***
Beware of the ‘level’ system. I went in for a Brazilian touch up and was charged $ 80! I was sparse beyond sparse but was told that I was waxed by one of the top waxers. I wouldn’t have mind it so much but it would have been nice to have been informed. I mentioned it to the owner and she apologized and gave me a $ 20 credit.
I was spoiled in Colorado Springs with the best stylist ever. I moved to Wichita and found a so-​so to have my hair flat ironed. Now I travel to Junction City for the weekend and found my diamond in the rough.
Laura is fabulous at the Mane Thing. She blow dried my hair with care and took her time flat ironing it. I will be back!

I was looking for spa treatment and that’s what I got. My spa pedicure was excellent. My manicure was decent. Not only did I get my hair cut but they also curled it for no extra charge.
The only downside is their level system. I ended up paying $ 50 for a pedicure. A pedicure! That is ridiculous no matter where you go. And my haircut was only $ 29. Something is seriously wrong with their pricing.
But the service was excellent and the girls were really nice. They should make their waiting area a little more comfortable. But the salon was very clean and if it weren’t for the pricing I would give it 5 stars
