Best Hair Salons in Boise, ID

Which services are easiest to find

Women's cuts, styling, and blowouts are the most common services in Boise, each offered at 19 salons. Natural-hair work is well covered too: seven salons handle protective styles, seven offer locs, and seven do braids.

Color sits in the middle of the pack — six salons offer highlights, six offer hair color, and six do balayage — with weaves and extensions available at five salons each. Men's cuts and fades are the thinnest category, at three salons each, so if you want a barber-style fade, plan to call ahead and confirm availability.

Booking and ratings at a glance

About 69% of the salons listed here offer online booking, so you can reserve a slot without a phone call at roughly seven in ten shops. The rest still take appointments — you'll just book by phone.

Two-thirds of the listings carry public star ratings, and among those the average is 4.8. That's a high bar, but ratings tend to cluster high across the industry, so weigh the number of reviews and how recent they are rather than the star figure alone.

How to use this directory

The salon cards below show each shop's services, its rating where one exists, and whether you can book online. Filter by the service you need first — booking a blowout and starting locs call for different shops — then check the ZIP code to keep things close to home.

One caveat: a service tag tells you a salon offers that work, not that it's their focus. When you book, describe exactly what you want, mention your hair type and length, and ask to see recent photos of similar work before you commit.
