Blades Salon And Spa

I’ve been going to Blades Salon for several years now, and after living in Pocatello for more than 25 years, this has hand’s down become my all-time fave. Aside from the fact that the salon is a friendly place with a happy vibe, it’s located in station square where you can grab a drink to enjoy during your visit, or lunch in the square when you’re all done and feeling pretty. My go-to stylist is Molly, who not only is super accomplished at cutting hair and helping you choose your best style, but she is a master at color and can work her magic to give you anything from subtle highlights that compliment your natural color, to making a bold statement in literally any color (or blend of colors!) you choose. When I made the choice to embrace going gray Molly helped me choose a beautiful soft shade to cover my tinted brunette color. With her help, transitioning was easy and I skipped that whole awkward grow-out period. I also recently discovered Alexis, who is a nail technician specializing in custom nail art and embellishments, and she is now giving me the best nails of my life. Am I exaggerating? Nope! She is up to date on current trends and techniques, and I love that my nails with an overlay are sturdy without looking heavy or bulky, my polish is perfectly applied, and my cuticles and fingertips look the best they ever have. Can you tell how much I love this salon? Blades is getting ready to celebrate their 10th anniversary in business, and I’m only sorry that I didn’t discover them sooner. Between the atmosphere, accomplished stylists and technicians, very reasonable prices, and fun location with plenty of parking right behind the back entrance, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this salon any time you’re in the mood to pamper yourself.

I can’t recommend Janette Wooley enough—her extension work is next-level. She listens, customizes the look, and delivers results that turn heads. My confidence has skyrocketed thanks to her!

Super happy with my experience! Hannah did an excellent job on the cut and color i wanted, taught me how to train bangs I havent had in years, and styled my hair so beautifully. She also made me feel right at home while I was there, which is above and beyond for me. Thanks so much!!

I have had many stylists damage my hair before and as a girl with curly hair that didn’t grow up knowing how to do it, I didn’t realize that they were damaging it! After having it permed and letting it grow out for a few months, a lot of it broke off and I’ve been trying to just grow it out ever since but it looked terrible. I went to Facebook for recommendations and Cassie was the first one recommended. She was absolutely amazing!! I was so nervous to go have another failed attempt at making my hair manageable but she knew what she was doing. Right away she was very kind and conversational, willing to answer all my questions and help me know where my hair needed help. She was totally understanding of what I wanted and was able give me so much help! It’s only a day later and my hair feels soo much healthier. So happy I decided to trust the referral!Thank you so much Cassie! You’re the best! Definitely come to her if you’re a curly hair girl looking for affordable hair care services and for someone who knows her stuff.

Had a very mixed experience Saturday at Blades. Went in with my partner who also has longer hair to have both ours done at the same time. I was with Kendra who did a phenomenal job. Partner was with Hannah, who was very late. My partner just wanted length off but still needed to be able to put it up in a ponytail, so wanted it left shoulder length. The cut ended up around the chin, easily 2-3 inches higher, more of a bob and impossible to put up. And then we were charged $50 each. Mine, a great cut with lots of layers, texturizing, the whole 9 and absolutely worth the money, and my partners, which was essentially a straight across cut and 2-3 inches shorter than requested. Blades has historically been a great salon, but this was not a great experience and I don't know that we'll be coming back.
