   I have been to five other salons in Iowa City and have been unsatisfied, although G Spot did not seem to be my style I was willing to give it a try. Upon sitting down Michelle asked what I wanted and understood my vision completely. I was nervous a couple of times when I thought she was taking off too much, but her vibe throughout my experience was very calming. I completely trust her to do anything to my hair and I highly recommend G Spot to anyone in the area looking for a great hair cut.

   I haven't been in a stylist's chair in ten years. I'm a 25 year old male and I've had the same hairstyle--very long, very straight, and parted in the center--since I was 15. I loved my hair, but it was time for a change. I picked G Spot based on the alternative bent conveyed by its web site, a handful of online reviews, and a gut feeling. The stylist, Lela, must have been psychic because immediately she suggested doing something different than whatever's in style with the 20-something Hollister-wearing set I see every time I step out the door. She suggested something simple but contemporary, shortish but a little shaggy, which sounded fine to me, and then got right to work. My heart skipped a few beats as she cut off 18 or 20 inches of my hair (which I donated to Locks of Love, of course), but half an hour later--after I asked her to trim the bangs just a little bit higher--it looked fantastic! I still haven't quite gotten the hang of putting "product" in it like she did, but even though I haven't had a haircut in 10 years, I can say for sure that this is by far the happiest I've ever been with a cut.
   
   G Spot has a reputation for doing complicated dye jobs, dreadlocks, and other more unorthodox styles, which I as a little nervous about because I'm not of the sort that does anything very flashy when it comes to personal style, but even though we'd just met, Lela gave me a cut that was absolutely "me": simple but stylish, understated but fun, and--I have it on the authority of several (straight) female friends--very sexy.
   
   The atmosphere at G Spot is great as well: It's on the first floor of an old house with a nice open layout, very clean and well-lit with interesting art on the walls. Everyone I talked to there was nice and very friendly, and I was offered water and coffee. The music was good, too. I felt welcome, comfortable, and taken care of. I can't recommend Lela and G Spot enough!

   great place: Went in for a haircut and left happy. Nice business that wanted to make sure I got what I wanted...I'll be going back. Note their address has changed...now on Jefferson just a few blocks east of the university on the left.
