Candi Johns Salon

Do NOT go to Niko, go to Rachel. ‘Niko tends to be a bit tempermental’ — the owner and his fellow staff. Niko rejected me service within the first 2 minutes for requesting a slight lowering of my hairline. Keep the good, and dump the toxic would prolly give this place a great vibe.

I can’t say much more than what is already stated in the other reviews other than to reiterate. Candi IS RUDE. Perhaps narcassistic? I don’t know her well enough. But she is rather short with you when you come in. The salon is not very tidy and to that end not very busy it seems. I’ve tanned there in preparation for a trip to the beach after season. I waited on someone to wrap up in the tanning bed and as he walked out she (Candi) says «There you go.» I asked her if she was going to clean it between sessions and she said «Nope. I’m sure he did.» Really?! So I cleaned it. Twice before, once after. Threw all 6 towels in the garbage.

Candi is so rude and a very poor stylist. Her knowledge is limited and if you ask for something she doesn’t know how to do, she tries to convince you that you won’t look good with that hairstyle. Prices are outrageous! Don’t go tanning. The bed is old (like 1990s) and gross in this creepy little closet and $ 10+ per tan. Candi thinks she is all that with this narcissistic attitude but she has no reason to like herself that much.

Update,
as my hair has grown out over the past 6 days, this is one of the worst hair cuts I have ever had… there are places that are much shorter than others, and a lot of stray long hairs that I’m still trying to fix… One of my friends said to me, omg I can see where your hair is shorter and longer… just supremely upset.

That review by Kim is totally crazy. She can shut the f up. I started going to Candy last year and she is AMAZING! I come out looking like a rock star every time. She is quick and very personable! Best prices in vail. Hands down

If I could give this zero stars I would. Absolutely worst most horrifying experience I have ever had at a salon. I was in Vail for my cousin’s wedding and made an appointment to have an updo done the day of. I followed the directions to the address on the website and was unable to find the salon — I called the number and she told me that address was wrong. When I tried to mention that their website still had that old address she was very rude to me, almost as if it was my fault I was running a bit late because they had the address listed incorrectly.
When I arrived, I said I just wanted a very simple french twist, very sleek and smooth (and had told them this exact updo that I wanted when making the appt a month earlier). The first time she started doing my hair she combed it down to give it volume and left it looking like a bird’s nest while she tried to twist it. I asked if she could make it more smooth, it looked like a mess, and I could pratically feel her eyes rolling behind me as she took it out to re-​do it. After a few times (which I thought was strange for a simple french twist) I was satisfied and asked if she could put a ton of pins in it as I’d be dancing all night — a request she obviously ignored.
I got picked up from the salon, drove three feet away and the entire updo fell out completely. In a panic now since the wedding was starting shortly, I drove back to have her fix it again and they had locked up shop already since Saturday’s are by appointment only. I called and left a voicemail asking someone to please contact me within 30 minutes to fix the mess they just left me with that I paid $ 75 for.
No one ever returned my calls. I ended up going back to my hotel, having my cousin fix my hair, and was out $ 70 for nothing. I figured the least they could do was refund my credit card so I left a message asking for her to let me know how to go about being refunded and again no one ever returned my calls. I ended up having to contact my credit card company and put a stop on the charge. It nearly ruined what should have been an amazing day with my family. I cringe to think what they are capable of doing with something that’s not reversable, like a bad haircut. Avoid this place at all costs.
