Such a great place to pamper yourself and relax. Everyone was very sweet! When I entered, I was offered tea or coffee while I waited in the comfiest chair ever. The atmosphere was calming and welcoming. As my stylist greeted me, she noticed I was wearing a mask and offered to wear one, which was extremely courteous and much appreciated. I'm sad that I'm moving away and won't be able to come again! Bottom line: excellent establishment. Cut and style cost me ~$40 including tip!

My experience at this studio was phenomenal. firstly, the fact that Jason worked with me to schedule via text was great. Audrey gave me such a nice head massage, plus a fantastic cut that i'm super happy with! i'm a medical student living on loans so my priority was affordability, but this place knocked it out of the park on all fronts i'll be back for sure!

Kate is incredible, and she saved me after getting a terrible color job on my blonde hair. She listened to what I asked for and gave me exactly what I wanted. I would recommend Kate to anyone!

I am in my thirties and it has taken me until now to find a salon worth returning to again and again! The staff are clearly educated on the craft of haircare, have true talent, and are genuinely good people.

I have been going to Milan since they opened. Shannon was my stylist initially at Andrew Beth, now Jen has been cutting and coloring my hair since 2004. I have had many different hair styles and colors over the years, and am always happy with how I look. You get what you pay for, and this salon and the stylists are worth every penny.

From the first call to finished cut, this shop was fantastic. I am always leery of new places and stylists, because you get used to your people. I have been looking for a short haircut for about a year now. I haven't found anyone who could nail it, but Jennifer did. She was absolutely fabulous and cut my hair with perfect precision! Scheduling was quick, the shop was super friendly and professional, and I couldn't have asked for a better cut! I highly recommend and I will absolutely be back!

I have permed hair. Wanted BLENDED layers, which would look good straight or curly. She used a razor on my hair, a cheater cut. I wanted it rounded, from face all around back. I didnt REALIZE how much my hair was not blend layered til I got to work and a girl said it looks like she left the back. When she used a razor on my permed hair I basically knew I wasnt getting blended layers.

A good cut should look good straight or curly. My hair will have to grow out til next year. Too many little strands, and DEFINITELY not blended. Sweet lady. But won't be back.

Great haircut by Kate. She listened to all the concerns about my hair and what I wanted changed, and then she made it all happen. She is a lovely person, kind and professional, highly skilled, and she gave me a lovely haircut. Somehow she took all my comments and gave me exactly what I wanted!

I walked in with a grown out unfortunate haircut. I walked out with a wonderful color/style. You won't be disappointed if you come here. They are also an Aveda salon, which are really top notch products. I made my next appointment same day. I've finally found a new salon a year after moving here.

I think I finally found my hair people in Kalamazoo. Jessie gave me the best cut I've had in a long time. At a separate appointment with another stylist, I had a color job I wasn't happy with, but when I let them know, they quickly responded with care. Kate was so talented in fixing me up, and I'm excited to see her again for future color. Really appreciate the customer service!

A little pricey but you get what you pay for. Was very pleased with my haircut and balayage. Kate did an excellent job!

Got my haircut here a day before my wedding. The staff was absolutely amazing and extremely accommodating to my already hectic schedule. Received a great haircut and enjoyed the overall experience that Milan provided! Would definitely go again!

Absolutely wonderful and friendly staff. Got eyebrows waxed, not as good as threading. Prices are quite expensive, more than your average place.

I absolutely love this place! Have been going there since about 2 years now and they are the best in town. I always get my hair cuts from Noelle and never has she disappointed me. My hair feels good and the hair cuts are always low maintenance and make you look great - which is exactly what I want.

I enjoyed Kristen's haircuts but sadly I cannot support this business because they charged me a large fee for the privilege of giving them money. Jason Milan explained that he negotiated unfavorable terms with his credit card processor and that customers are responsible for his cost of doing business. He pointed out that a 2 inch sign on the receptionist desk allows him to impose this fee. This is the only business I've come across that values customers this little.

My stylist was Kristen (she's the best) and I was a loyal customer of Milan for the 2 years I lived in Kalamazoo. Excellent service. Great Aveda products. A bit on the pricey side but what you would expect for the quality and comparable to places I've been in chicago. Now I just have to find a place in Grand Rapids that I like.

I had the most amazing experience at Milan. My stylist, Kristen, is incredible. I've never loved my hair this much! We had great conversation and she did a great job giving me a new cut and color. She is truly an artist and I couldn't be happier!

I see Noelle, shes AMAZING! I have complete trust in her to cut my hair. She definitely knows how to make me feel beautiful! She takes time to cut my hair and listens to my wants and needs. Not pushy in selling me stuff. Most of the time I'm asking her what I need. She has a wonderful soul and Kalamazoo is lucky to have her! I'm getting ready to relocate about 2 hours away and am still planning on coming here! Great downtown Kalamazoo salon!

Needed to fix a bad dye job for interviews, so I made an appointment here. From the moment I walked in, I was offered a hot beverage and my stylist was alerted. I was set up with Aimee, who was ready to start within 5 minutes of me arriving. Let me tell you, she was amazing! She listened to what I wanted and what I didn't want, but at the same time I gave her free range to do what she thought would look good on me.

She exceeded my expectations, making my hair look really natural even with the dye. The way she cut my hair was also on point. I'll definitely be back to see her, she's an artist!

Love love love my hairstylist Noelle. I have short hair and heavy but fine if that makes sense. I used to have to use a curling iron or a flat iron. But now just have to dry and go or just a little hair spray. She is very consistent in her cuts and styles and she's fun to talk with tooo wahoooooo

Kalamazoo has a number of great salons. I went to a few others before finding Milan. My hair was dry and damaged from heat and color. With their expertise and Aveda products my hair improved. I was able to grow it out and it's now back to healthy and shiny. Jason Milan is always accommodating and communicative about scheduling. He makes you feel welcome the moment you walk in, with hot tea or beverages and great conversation.

If they don't have the Aveda product you are looking for he orders it and has it bagged and ready for your next visit. Noelle is my stylist. It's always a pleasure to see her. It is a true salon experience, with hand massage and deep conditioning treatments. I feel like a new person when I leave. I'm so glad to have them downtown!

If you read any of my reviews of hair salon reviews, you'll see a common theme - I HATE being gauged for a simple haircut. On a recent visit to Kalamazoo for a friends' wedding and to visit family, I thought ahead and figured I'd save a couple of bucks by getting my hair cut in a salon in the Midwest vs shelling out for one in the DC area.

I chose Milan just based on the location and Yelp reviews. Chip cut my hair - very friendly guy, great shampoo/conditioning technique (although maybe a bit too vigorous, as my hair did get a tad too tangled - but that is what detangling spray is for, right?) and good cut. He'd previously worked at the same salon in Cincinnati, OH for 13 years, so he clearly has a lot of experience and does not salon hop.

The experience cost a bit more than I'd like to pay in Kazoo ($50), but still less than I'd pay in any comparable place in the DMV. I will point out, however, that this is the only salon from which I have ever received a thank you card - from the stylist himself. Nice touch!
