Love love love my hairstylist Noelle. I have short hair and heavy but fine if that makes sense. I used to have to use a curling iron or a flat iron. But now just have to dry and go or just a little hair spray. She is very consistent in her cuts and styles and she’s fun to talk with tooo wahoooooo

I’ve lived in Kalamazoo for about a year and still hadn’t found a salon so I thought I would give Milan a try. I read good reviews and had good experiences at other Aveda associated salons in the past. I must say I am so pleased with my hair! Kate was so attentive to what I was looking for and did a great job! The other staff was so friendly and courteous. I would definitely recommend Milan and Kate to anyone! I will certainly be going back!

Horrible!!! My son and I went here because of the reviews and it was an Aveda Salon. My services included highlights, haircut, wax and my son received a haircut. My highlights were an inch away from my scalp, my hair was an inch longer on one side and my sons haircut was lopsided. I called the salon the next day to have it fixed but was nervous on having additional chemicals added especially from someone who didnt get it right the first time. After calling the salon and canceling my appointment, I was asked why I would come there when someone in my family does hair anyways. I was so disappointed in how I was treated. After spending over 200.00 on services, I had to pay someone else to fix it. So sad:(

I recently relocated to the Kalamazoo area, & was in need of a stylist in the area. I am always nervous when it comes to trying having someone new work on my hair because it is quite finicky. After reading the positive reviews for Milan, on Unilocal,I decided to give them a shot. The feeling I got when I first walked in, was a fresh & relaxed vibe. Like they weren’t going to rush your appointment. I ended up being booked with Kate, & after telling her the general idea of what I wanted, she went to work creating the image I was looking for. She is very artistic & gifted at what she does. I’ve never felt more beautiful after a cut and color in my life, & she didn’t even color my whole head, she just put in some natural highlights. I hugged her a couple times after I saw her masterpiece. I am beyond satisfied with the job she did! I booked a follow up appointment for a trim, before I left the salon! Thanks, Kate! You are a true master of your trade!

I can be impulsive when it comes to my hair. When I want to change it, I want to do it right then. So when I got to work in downtown Kalamazoo on a Tuesday morning and decided to get a hair cut THAT day, I emailed Milan. Luckily they had a noon spot and I’m so glad I grabbed it. I had such a nice experience. I was greeted very warmly by Jason Milan, offered and given a steaming cup of tea, and waited a very short time in a lovely, clean, chic waiting area. Kate came and introduced herself and consulted with me before beginning. I explained that I have thinning hair as a result of alopecia and that I wanted to cut at least 6 inches off my hair for a change. She expertly recommended a length that would make my fine, thin hair look fuller and thicker. Then after I had a relaxing shampoo and scalp massage, Kate gave me the cutest bob. I love my new cut! She even recommended changing where my bangs start to give the illusion of fuller bangs, and it worked! I have so much more confidence now because no one can tell that I’m losing my hair thanks to Kate’s terrific cut. I would highly recommend this salon; I can’t see how anyone could be disappointed.

Kalamazoo has a number of great salons. I went to a few others before finding Milan. My hair was dry and damaged from heat and color. With their expertise and Aveda products my hair improved. I was able to grow it out and it’s now back to healthy and shiny. Jason Milan is always accommodating and communicative about scheduling. He makes you feel welcome the moment you walk in, with hot tea or beverages and great conversation. If they don’t have the Aveda product you are looking for he orders it and has it bagged and ready for your next visit. Noelle is my stylist. It’s always a pleasure to see her. It is a true salon experience, with hand massage and deep conditioning treatments. I feel like a new person when I leave. I’m so glad to have them downtown!

If you read any of my reviews of hair salon reviews, you’ll see a common theme — I HATE being gauged for a simple haircut. On a recent visit to Kalamazoo for a friends’ wedding and to visit family, I thought ahead and figured I’d save a couple of bucks by getting my hair cut in a salon in the Midwest vs shelling out for one in the DC area. I chose Milan just based on the location and Unilocal reviews. Chip cut my hair — very friendly guy, great shampoo/conditioning technique(although maybe a bit too vigorous, as my hair did get a tad too tangled — but that is what detangling spray is for, right?) and good cut. He’d previously worked at the same salon in Cincinnati, OH for 13 years, so he clearly has a lot of experience and does not salon hop. The experience cost a bit more than I’d like to pay in Kazoo($ 50), but still less than I’d pay in any comparable place in the DMV. I will point out, however, that this is the only salon from which I have ever received a thank you card — from the stylist himself. Nice touch!

When I moved to Kzoo back in 2006, I tried a few different salons. I went to an Aveda salon in Portage, which was okay, but if I’m going to spend over $ 100 on my hair(I get a cut and highlights), I want the full salon experience, not feeling like I’m sitting in someone’s house! So I eventually left there and tried Milan in 2009, and they matched me up with Jen. Needless to say, I’ve never left. My color is beautiful and tasteful, my cut is perfect, and Jennifer has the best chairside manner of any stylist I’ve ever gone to. I feel like I’m not only getting a great value for my hair, I’m also getting fabulous conversation time with her! I’ve since moved to TN, and so far, no one here matches Milan. So guess what? When I come to town a couple of times a year, I still call them up and get my hair done. I can’t say enough good things about this place.

I recently moved to the area from Columbus and after finally having some cash flow I decided it was time for a proper haircut! I’ve been going to Aveda concept salons for awhile and my old stylist give me a head’s up to this place, so, naturally this was the first place I looked to book an appointment. Can I just say this place made me feel like a VIP! Jason greeted me and checked me in. He was very friendly and nice. The salon is laid out nicely, too. Jen cut my hair and did a fantastic job. I brought in a picture(because me and haircut lingo/descriptions don’t work) and she listened to what I was trying to achieve and asked questions to really figure out what I was going for. She even fit me in for an eyebrow waxing and I couldn’t be happier!(She even touched up my make-up before I left!) I felt like I was the only person in the salon in the best of ways! It’s a small salon(I think like 4 people work there? From their website it seems!) but the lay out is nice and the intimacy is nice, too! You’re not talking over other people and you feel like you’re the only one there.

I love this place! I recently moved to Kalamazoo from Chicago for work. While I lived in Chicago I went to a small independently owned boutique salon so I was on the hunt to find a similar salon here in Kzoo. I had a few requirements to narrow down my choices: the salon must sell/use Aveda products and it had to be in a convenient location. Check! and Check! I took some time to check out Milan’s website.(I base a lot of my choices in shopping for new places etc on the look and ease of use of a company’s website) Their website is straight forward and easy to navigate. I was glad to find a small bio for each of their stylists. That’s when I found Jennifer. :) Her bio mentioned the fact that Jen is well versed in «dealing with curly hair» BINGO! You’re hired! I have a mop of curly hair that can be a little unruly at times unless its maintained by a professional. Jen fits the bill, plus she is a fantastic person. She is very friendly and easy to talk to… I hate those places where you sit in silence and don’t talk.(Some of my best therapists have been my hair stylists. ha!) The more I visit the salon the more I am convinced I made the RIGHT choice in selecting Milan. The owners Jason and Shannon are very friendly and you can tell that they take care of their employees. Some other points to note: The prices are reasonable. They have a full line of Aveda products available for purchase. The atmosphere and décor is calming and very well done — clean and neat. I would definitely recommend Milan and Jen to anyone! p. s. If they offer you tea — try it!

This is the best place to get your hair done in the Portage/Kalamazoo area. Period. Ask for Amy if you have longer hair. She doesn’t do coloring — but honestly is the best hair dresser I have ever had. She is wonderful.

Milan is a terrific salon. I’ve been getting my hair cut here for more than two years and couldn’t say better things about it. The owners, Jason and Shannon, run the kind of local business you want to patronize. They’re good to their employees, they give back to the community, and they’re in a terrific storefront in downtown. Now, I’m a guy, so my hair needs are fairly basic. But before I started going to Milan, I was going to an Aveda salon in Texas Corners where, I kid you not, the stylist did most of my haircut using clippers. I’m sorry, but I have not had a buzz cut since my punk days in college and I do not feel the need to return to that style now. Milan’s stylist, on the other hand, are top notch. I’ve been going to Jen for the entire time I’ve been going to Milan and it’s honestly a pleasure to go there. She’s smart and a blast to chat with. She remembers how I like my hair cut. And she gets it right. My wife also gets here hair done here, and is equally happy.
