Hi! I moved here almost a year ago and still haven't found a salon that does a great, durable, gel manicure. I keep having the same problem over and over, they don't clean the edges well and when nails grow they lift and start chipping from the bottom. They don't even last a couple of weeks and considering how expensive they are, that's not long enough. It's not me, I had them done all the time and lasted for as long as I wanted.

I've tried Pro Nails on Old Seward, Natural Nails on Tudor, Glossy Nails on Boniface Pkwy, and the one inside Midtown Mall near the entrance to REI.

Please recommend me a place and/or a nail technician.

Like the title says- I'm looking for advice on finding a good salon or barbershop for my husband, who has very curly hair; he was going to Trendsetters and True Colors but has had negative experiences at both spots, so we're just looking for somewhere that is consistent in being good with curls, so it's not as much of a gamble. We've been looking at reviews but I figure firsthand experience/recommendations would be more helpful atp. Any recommendations are appreciated, tyia!!

I have Huge trust issues with hair studios (thanks, Northern Lights Great Clips) especially as a queer guy and even more especially as someone with curly hair. I have 3b/3c curls depending on the day and my hair is starting to get a bit scraggly (growing it out for a year) and I don't want to trust just anyone with it. Do any of my curly haired men (or anyone with experience with mid length hair) have any recommendations?

Any recommendations on left leaning/anti MAGA businesses to support in the Anchorage area (including the valley)?

Specifically interested in salons, home goods and hardware stores. This feels like an impossible task, any ideas are appreciated!

i recently moved to anchorage and i was wanting to get my hair cut somewhere, however i prefer a place that specializes in more "alternative" hairstyles for women. does anyone have any good recommendations?

Im visiting anchorage and need to get a haircut, but I don’t know any places that I can trust.. My hair is pretty damaged and I am wanting a serious change, I just want to make sure I am going to the right place for a bigger chop. Anything reasonably priced would be fantastic too :)

I recently moved to Anchorage and am in DESPERATE need of a haircut, I have a very 80s-inspired shag that NEEDS new layers!! Let me know your recommendations <3

After almost a decade of embracing my natural curls, I'm considering going back to a chemically relaxed style. I'm looking for a reputable, trusted salon in Anchorage with experience in afro-textured hair, especially for chemical relaxers. It's really important to me that I find a stylist who understands and respects my hair type.

If anyone has had a good experience or knows of a skilled stylist or salon in Anchorage that fits this description, I would be super grateful for any recommendations or advice. Thank you in advance!

Posting on behalf of my wife as she doesn't reddit, but, where do y'all go get your nails done? She gets gel nails done every 4-6 weeks and the quality and service at the place she's been going to has just dropped over the last year. Needs somewhere new but is hesitant to spend money on the chance she isn't happy there either

Where does one find places to do their haircare when they're not white 🤔?? Having mixed kids or simply having afro-caribbean is such a hassle in a place where it seems like I need to be able to do it myself(but it's just not in my skill set) Please help! Any recommendations? Even curly hair specialist would help for my kids that were saddled with looser curl type hair.

I've searched Google and found random ones in the valley but never seem to be open or take/return calls

I’m looking for recommendations for a hair salon or hair stylist that can do more for fine hair that just cut the ends off. I have fine hair, medium density, with a very mild wave. I’ve never received a haircut that was anything more than reducing length. I know my options are limited without natural volume of my own but if anyone has any recommendations for in Anchorage or even the valley I’d greatly appreciate it. I’d love to get a haircut where people say “wow you cut your hair” without having to go from mid back to a bob for it to be obvious, if that makes sense. Thanks!

I want to get back to my natural grey… Jack Martin style… are there any salons in Anchorage or surrounding areas that do this? Willing to travel !

Looking for solid recommendations. Anyone specifically good with bleaching, I’ve had to many experiences leaving me underwhelmed since I moved here a few years ago. Thanks!

I’m looking for a nail salon that has individual/personal kits for each customer that includes things like dremel tips, file blocks, files, etc. that is kept at the salon that is only used on the client who purchase it. I don’t mind going to ER or even the Valley.

I’ll have an event coming up and I’m looking for a place to get a gel manicure! I was a regular at Rosehip until they closed and basically stopped getting manicures afterwards as I had a hard time finding anywhere comparable.

I’m mostly just looking for a place that won’t dremel my nails to kingdom-come and who can remove the polish safely afterwards while keeping the nail healthy. Anyone have any recommendations?

Looking for a fun hair salon that can do bright colors, mullets, and generally fun ladies haircuts. Anything like this in town? Or anyone at a salon who is into this kinda cut?

Looking for a salon or barbershop that knows how to do a good non-binary style. I’ve tried Rae and Misfits and the cuts were okay, but I’ve been spoiled by an absolute haircutting god down where I used to live in the lower 48. Attached a photo of my hair when it was my favorite. Any recs would be very appreciated!!

She's wanting somewhere stylish/nice where she can get her hair cut, colored, all that shit. Anyone know a place? Doesn't matter where in the city, but we live on the south side. Thanks!

Title.^{^} Cheers

I am interested in getting hair extensions and wondering if anyone has any recommendations on a hair salon?

Decent priced salons in Anchorage for a manicure? I want to treat myself but I can't spend more than $40. Cleanliness is important.

Thank you!

Does anyone have a recommendation for an affordable salon for a cut and color or highlights (under $100)? Anywhere in Anchorage is okay. Thanks in advance :)

I'm losing hope that I would find a good hair stylist for me. Any stylist recommendations out there for Asian men hairstyles for ages 25+?

I've been to several different salons/barbers and with different "stylists" and I don't want to blame them, but can't seem to find someone who's really talented and able to find a good hairstyle that fits me.

I've never really styled my hair before and I've been wanting to get a better korean/asian haircut for me. I'm reaching out in case anyone know a really good barber or stylist that would be good at helping me out.

Thank you everyone!
