First off, the salon is sooo charming and cute! But most importantly, Mabel did such a wonderful job cutting my hair! I literally had PTSD walking in for my cut because of my last experience with ex stylist. I have extremely thick hair and don’t need the usual style of cut… she was extremely patient with me and didn’t stop cutting until I was happy! I really appreciate her gentle and kind approach and I am soooo happy with my haircut!!! Thank you honey!!!

Altruist Salon is the best! I am always nervous when it is time to cut my hair, so I am glad I found this gem. It has been my go-to for all of college. Mabel and Stephanie have done amazing jobs whether I’ve gotten a trim or chopped off 8 inches! They both take the time to cut it exactly how I envisioned. And their products have complete changed how I take care of my hair. So thankful for these stylists!

Lexey is amazing! She gave me exactly what I was looking for and is great at making conversation feel easy. My hair feels so much softer and healthier than it did before and I'm so grateful! Lexey may technically only be a level 2 stylist on Altruist's stylist scale right now but you can definitely expect 5 star service! She really listened to what I wanted and made any final tweaks and changes requested so I could leaving loving my new cut. Thanks Lexey!Service: Haircut

I love everything about Altruist! I'm always thrilled with my curly hair cut and highlights and appreciate Andi and her team's attention to detail in all that they do.

This place rocks! Lexie did a fantastic job and gave me one of the best haircuts I’ve ever had. She took her time consulting me and educating me on what cuts would look best with my face and hair type, really made sure I was happy with each and every cut she made (including taking an extra 1.5” off after she had already styled it), and was so fun to talk to. I can’t wait to come back!!

I am always skeptical of getting my hair lightened as I've had some bad experiences , but my hair turned out amazing. Exactly what I wanted and exactly what I described to Mabel. I just wanted a little bit of lighting to give my hair a little pop from being so bland, and Mable did it perfectly

I am in tears having to write this because I feel so bad, but I also do not feel right about not saying something to anyone who is picky and is considering trying a new salon. I called this salon last week and specifically requested the most experienced hair stylist and colorist. All of them were booked. I told the girl on the phone that I was really picky and sensitive with my hair and just wanted to see someone who was experienced and knew what they were doing. I was recommended to someone and trusted them based on the info I gave them. Mind you, I was only coming in for a very simple hair cut to get rid of some split ends.I have had long, beautiful hair that I've loved my whole life and specifically said to the girl cutting my hair that I only wanted a trim. 1.5 inches-2inches AT MOST. I pointed to my chest multiple times asking to please not go above a certain length and said multiple times that I just wanted my layers to be maintenanced and cleaned up since the ends were a little fried. I don't know how many different ways I could have just said that I wanted a TRIM. As you can see, my hair was chopped off by at least 4+ inches. Not only that, but my layers now look very different as well and had to then be corrected by a different hair stylist. If you're anything like me where you're used to your hair being a certain length for your ENTIRE life and are sensitive about getting hair cuts, you can see how drastically different these before and after photos are. I look childish now and like I am not the same me when I look in the mirror. I feel less confident and do not see myself wearing my hair down now for at least a few months.I understand that hair stylists are used to doing hair all the time and may have an "it's just hair, it'll grow back" mentality, but that shouldn't just be assumed for the client as well. I am really sad over this and sad to be having to write such a negative review. I am going to leave the girl's name out who did my hair because she was so nice and I know she did not mean to do this. But if you're picky like me and don't want to take the risk, avoid this place or just wait for months on end to get in with someone.Service: Haircut

Stephanie is the most amazing hairstylist I have met. She listens to every want and need of mine and I never leave disappointed. I even came in look a new hair cut and she made sure to perfect it as she asked if there was anything I wanted to do more about it. She bubbly and sweet and I’m so amazed with finding this jem in Missoula! Thank you ??Services: Hair colouring

Receptionist had no idea what she was doing. She lost my appointment. Couldn't find my information. I had to send in a picture for the stylist and was not given the information of where to send it to. Now I am scrambling to find a stylist who is available asap. Don't let the receptionist screw up your events too.To clarify to the response for Altruist Salon, there couldn't be a misunderstood policy if a policy was never stated. I was not told that a credit card was needed for the appointment to be held.

I had a fantastic experience at this salon. Liv was great. She really listened to me and studied my hair before beginning to cut, and then checked in with me as she was cutting. I asked her to give me bangs (which I hadn’t had in about 10 years) and she cut them gradually until we were both really happy with how they looked. I loved the whole cut, which was totally new since I hadn’t had a haircut in 18 months. The cut has grown out really well, and I have received so many compliments. Liv was friendly and personable. Looking forward to going back!

My first experience with Altruist Salon was amazing! I relocated to Missoula last August and was very nervous about finding the perfect salon and stylist. I have now found my happy place for hair. I was referred to this salon and after looking up Altruist Salon and reading the reviews, I was sold. I highly recommend Stephanie. Stephanie is a true professional, experienced, and knew exactly the cut and color that would make me feel beautiful. Stephanie has a wonderful personality, made me feel comfortable and well taken care of. Their music selection was great too. As an added bonus, I am a loyal fan of Keratase Paris products the salon uses. Thumbs up and a mark of "10" for me for this salon experience.

I had my first cut and color here about a month ago with Nadine and let me tell you, this review is overdue. She nailed it! I've never been happier with my hair. She's so kind and is able to hype you up through any nerves you might have for your appointment. I'll be back and I'm encouraging all of my friends to checkout Altruist!

I had my hair cut here and the girl had no idea how to cut hair! I asked for an a-line stack and she cut my hair all the way up the back so the top hair was 3 inches long! WTF! She cut it super short where I said I had a cowlic so now it sticks up! Worst hack job ever! Train your stylists!! This is ridiculous, had to even it out myself when I got home! Extremely disappointed!
