I moved from Illinois to Iowa in late march. It took me a few months to find talking heads, but wow I’m so happy that I did! Libby and her staff of young hair designers are exceptional! Highly recommended. So glad I found my “hair home” Testimonial written by Kerry on this site.

Libbey did a fantastic job on my hair! Absolutely love it! She is so friendly, caring and welcoming. The head massage felt amazing while shampooing. Totally recommend

On 1/17/2026 Kathi B. had this to say:
Very clean & professional salon with a great owner who really gets good stylists & cares about her customers. Libbey is my choice for a great hair cut & style so that I look like a million bucks! Whether it's a pixie or shaggy cut, she knows her stuff! I have lots of thick hair & cowlicks icky, but she knows how to deal with that & helps instruct me on how to style & care for my hair with great Aveda products available for purchase! I have been coming to this salon for many years & highly recommend all the stylists! Thanks for all you do Libbey! ?

✨ The holiday season is all about giving back, and we're excited to celebrate with our amazing clients and community!

Join us on November 19th for the Talking Heads Salon Holiday Open House, featuring holiday shopping, festive refreshments, door prizes, ugly sweaters, and our Ugly Sweater Pumpkin Contest. Best of all, every dollar raised will help support local individuals and families during the holiday season.

Bring your holiday spirit, wear your ugliest sweater, and help us make a difference!

✨ It's back... and just in time! ✨

After completely selling out, the Aveda One For All Leave-In Elixir is finally making its way back to TH Salon!

This multitasking favorite does it all, helping to detangle, condition, smooth, add shine, reduce frizz, and leave hair feeling healthier with every use. No wonder it disappeared so quickly the first time around!

Our new shipment is arriving soon, and if you've been waiting to restock or try it for yourself, be sure to stop in before it's gone again.

❤️ A quick reminder from your TH Salon family!

Holiday appointments are filling up faster than ever, and we only have a limited number of openings left before the busy season arrives.

If you're hoping to freshen up your color, get a trim, or treat yourself before all the holiday parties and family gatherings, don't wait too long to schedule.

We'd love to see you and help you get holiday-ready!

📞 Call today to reserve your spot. 🎄✨
