This locations is always stocked well. Especially during the liter sale which is a major plus for me. It may have been a slightly farther drive but it was worth it to be able to actually get the product I wanted. The staff was always nice and friendly. One of my favorite locations. The Liberty location was the closest to me but my least favorite so I would drive to this one instead. Read Less

I am disappointed to give a bad review because I never do so, but my experience with this store is less than satisfactory. I was searching for powder foundation and multiple employees saw me, ignored me, and ignored my questions. Finally after looking on my own I asked where I could find a brush to test the make up and no one answered and just looked at each other with attitudes. There is no excuse even if non of them were makeup technicians, they should of found out for me as the customer regardless. Im very upset with my experience. One of the girls was on the clock but wrapped up in doing her own makeup. If I were a manager I would not put up with this. Read Less

It is a fun place to work and always has great products. Everyone is kind and knowledgeable about the products. They have hair care and skincare things. As well as an amazing salon and spa. Highly recommended everyone to go here. I recommend going to Isabella if you ever need your brows done! 💕 Read Less

Dani Wallace is the best hair stylist I've been to. Ive gone to her for years. Recently I have tried other stylist because of distance, but have to say the only time ive been 100% satisfied is through Dani. Read Less

Angelica was AMAZING, as usual. I got a 90 minute massage because I'm having issues with my lower back. She took the time to work out all of the kinks and explained everything she was doing. She gave me some advice on upkeep on my back and invited me back if I needed anymore help with my back. I also only see her to get my brows done. I've been seeing her for 3ish years now and just LOVE her.Read Less

Dani is one of the most talented stylists I have had the pleasure of sacrificing my hair too. Usually my hair is challenging because it's thin and fine but Dani had no issues with it and I always walk away happy after visiting her. Plus she makes great conversation and is very personable. She makes people feel comfortable when they sit in her chair from the start to the end. Read Less

For a Saturday, they were severely understaffed. Rude.  Waited 20 minutes to buy one can of hairspray.  Several people got tired of waiting and walked out.  If I wasn't in desperate need of hairspray,  I would have walked out too. Read Less

I swear beauty brands must try to find the most rude people in the world to hire. Done with beauty brands. I spend enough money at this store to be treated with respect. The manager is even rude anx hateful! I am blown away. Learn how to work with the public. I will take my business and my money else where! Read Less

Worst experience ever. Only friendly staff member was the receptionist. Staff not accomodating. Customer Service not worth the money spent. I have been with Beauty Brands for 8 years. Blue Springs location closed unfortunately leaving me to find another styist or go to the Plaza. I thought i would try Independence location. I have visited this location 3 times and have not been happy with the services. This is my last visit. I will never return. Very disappointed in service. I do not recommend this salon. Read Less

Terrible service here! If you are going to charge higher than other places then I would expect good customer service as well as employees who know how to actually cut hair! The one time I went to get my bangs trimmed here they were BUTCHERED... all choppy and different lengths at different chunks, and whole sections missed when I brushed my hair out later! I had to fix it myself at home after paying around $20. I tried to go back and asked for a cut that would look nice if I just let it air dry... so she cuts it straight across the bottom and then spends 15 minutes teasing it... Needless to say I will be cutting mine and my husbands hair at home from now on since obviously I can do a much better job for free.... Read Less

I spent $71 this past Saturday, 3/5/16, on a new set of acrylic nails and they look horrible. Very dissatisfied. They're way too thin and already breaking. Total waste of money. She didn't even buff them before she painted and they're all bumpy and rough. I will never be back. I had Brittany at the Independence location. Very pissed off. I'd love a full refund. Read Less

Spent $71 on a new set of nails and they're horrible. Way too thin and it's only been two days and they're already breaking. She didn't even buff them before she painted them and they're all bumpy and rough. Not satisfied at all and definitely won't be back. Total waste of money. The nail tech was Brittany at the Independence location. Read Less

I recently saw Kristyn Frazee for hair and nails. And I have to say this girl is hilarious! High energy ,very confident ,very professional,and very talented. I truly believe that I have found the stylist I will follow for the rest of my life. You can tell when first meeting her this girl has a good pure heart. Her passion for her career radiates through her body as well as well as the passion and love she has for her family. If you're looking for the whole package when it comes to a stylist , great stylist, great person, great values, great talent Kristeyn is your girl! Read Less

I was very disappointed with my visit. My mom, sister, and I had appointments to get our nails done for christmas. My sister went back first and her lady was so rude to her that she decided not to get her nails done and no one ever came to get my mom. My lady was very friendly and did a decent job on me. But with the exception of her, everyone we talked to was rude. Will never give beauty brands my business again. Read Less

Went here today tosee what mascaras Bonsail I picked one up and went to find an employee to ask if the certain brand is on sale and she reply to any very snotty tone "well I can tell you right now not that one" so I just walked out. Down right rude and it's not very clear which items are on sale. Read Less

I'd been considering getting a Brazilian wax done and after asking around on Facebook, one of the suggestions was Beauty Brands. I did some calling around to other suggested places and no one could get me in on the day that I was able to go, so I went with Beauty Brands because they had an opening. The store was clean and the staff was friendly. I went with one of the senior estheticians to ensure that I was taken care of properly as this was my first wax and I wanted it to be as pleasant of an experience as possible. The room I was taken to was clean, no wax on the walls or floor, the towels appeared clean. The woman doing my wax was friendly and we talked the whole time, so it wasn't awkward. She didn't double dip or have to go over spots too much. Like I said, this was my first wax and it was not at all what I expected. I'd read up on it for a week or so before committing to the idea and everything that I'd read said talc powder is used and helps with the pain a little as because the wax isn't sticking to the skin as much. I'm not sure if it's typical Beauty Brands practice NOT to use talc powder, but when I asked about it, the esthetician said that it's primarily used for leg and arm waxing, not pubic waxing which is the opposite of what I'd read (I also asked a few people who've been waxed elsewhere if talc powder is generally used with Brazilian waxes and they said yes, it is used and helps with the pain). I have a pretty high tolerance for pain but this experience had me sweating, shaking like crazy, bordering on hyperventilation, and almost in tears. I still had a few hairs left, they weren't tweezed or anything but I think the esthetician felt bad and didn't want me to go through anymore pain. Needless to say, I won't be getting a Brazilian ever again. Even thinking about getting waxed again makes me cringe. I don't think Beauty Brands is at fault, though I do think using talc powder would've helped and something they should look into, especially for $56 plus a tip. Read Less

I've been going to Amy for years. She does an awesome job on my hair! I love her to death. But when I couldn't fit an appointment in with her that week, I asked for someone experienced aka a "Senior Stylist". The woman they set me up BUTCHERED my hair. I asked for a trim, she cut off about 4 inches. My hair wasn't that long and it had been trimmed the month before. It did not need that excessive of an amount of hair cut off. Then I asked for "swoop" bangs because I was sick of my hair being in my eyes. I don't know what the hell she thought she was doing because my bangs were choppy, uneven and looked like a 4 year old got a hold of a pair of scissors. And then when I complained that I didn't like them, she copped an attitude and said, "You got what you asked for" and gave me my receipt. Regardless to say, I complained to management because I was absolutely NOT paying for that hair cut. Last time I'm going there unless Amy's cutting my hair. Read Less

I just love my girl in there! It took me several places and people to find her! I pay alot but she washes cuts and styles my hair and makes it look great. The place is clean and friendly. This is my new spot! Read Less

When first entering the store looks like a high class beauty or spa located in the Plaza, but this one is in Independence. Rachel is my superior stylist. She's been cutting, coloring my hair, and waxing my eye brows for months.  When you choose to have your eyebrows waxed, they take you into a quiet spa room, and do the waxing. I like that. It feels upscale.I've had my hair cut at this location for a long time. My last hair stylist had to quit, but at Beauty Brands, they don't seem to have a large turn over in beauticians. Once you have one you like, she or he tends to stay employed.They also do nails and pedicures. I've not experienced that, but they offer a "$29.00 express-a-cure" which caught my eye the other day when I had my hair cut.The prices for services depends on the stylist. Senior and master stylists cost the most.  Not a $9.00 hair cut, nor a $30.00 hair cut. Yes, it's expensive, a bit, but, my hair stays the same for 6-8 weeks. The only other beauty salon that is equal to the hair cut I receive here at Beauty Brands, is Lady Luck Hair Salon, in Westport. The store itself is a godsend for this area. They sell the entire OPI line, and salon and skin care products. They carry Hot Tool's Brand curling Irons, and straighteners. Any brush or comb you need they have it. I personally wear MAC make-up, but the make up at Beauty Brands is kind of cool. I have to stifle myself not to buy it. (No, I don't need that.). They also carry the cool little Tweezerman Tweezers that are black, or zebra striped, or yellow. You've seen them in Allure Magazine. This store and salon is a step up from any of the beauty stores in Independence. If you're looking for a great hair cut or wax, you should try them out.Eyebrow waxing is around $12.00. Haircuts are $37-42.00. Pedicures, $29.00. Prices are displayed, no guessing. Most of the stylists are women, but there are one or maybe 2 men. I've seen an entire wedding party being styled at one time, by 4 different stylists. Best time to get your hair cut, so you don't wait is either early in the day, or on Saturday morning. Make an appointment. If you are a walk-in, you might end up having to wait for another wedding party before you. Read Less
