Salon Envy

Salon Envy is a gem in Ouray! Shara is an excellent hairstylist and is always friendly as can be. She does a killer boys’ and mens’ cut and is of course excellent with female hair as well. The salon is always prompt in getting us in for appointments and does indeed have that «small town hospitality» that so many locals and visitors appreciate about this establishment. Highly recommend Salon Envy to anyone looking for big-​city service but with small-​town friendliness.

Great salon! Owner and employees are very professional. I have had manicures/​pedicures and haircut and loved the pampering. The salon is located in an old historic building, and is beautifully decorated.

So the sign outside says «walk-​ins welcome» but apparently they aren’t. Went there to get a manicure, but apparently the one customer in there was too much for them to put polish on my fingertips. So much for small town hospitality. The woman who checked their «schedule» asked me to come back in 2 hours or the next day. Guess their sole customer was keeping them busy. Or maybe they don’t like out of town customers.

It is so nice to have this salon in Ouray. I visit Ouray often and in the past had to travel to Montrose for manicures and pedicures. No more! The salon is beautifully decorated and the owner & staff are super friendly. Just be sure to call in advance and book early as they are often booed for day. I cannot recommend Salon Envy enough. Next time you visit Ouray, be sure to make time for a little pampering. Also, don’t worry about wearing your boots for a pedicure. They use Vinylux polish which dries within 10 minutes. Perfect for the times when you can’t wear sandals.

My second visit to Salon Envy was two days prior to the wedding so my nails could get done. I’m not into nails, but I was afraid the photographer might capture closeups of my hands. The owner Donna took care of me and followed my request to make them look simple, natural, and pretty.
On the actual big day, Donna pulled off some of her magic in only 1.5 hours and made my hair and makeup look even better than at trial! Again, if she wasn’t happy with something as she worked, the perfectionist in her re-​did it. Our ceremony was outdoors, so it was important that my hair stay in place… well, it did and then some. Not one strand from my updo moved even though we were in open-​air Jeeps! Best hairdo I’ve ever had!
Price is extremely reasonable and I ended up paying less than expected. Thank you so much, Donna!

Beautiful salon. Talented people. Just what the Dr. ordered.
