Message from Parto Naderi
Great hair and makeup artists treat each client as an individual. They know it's important to understand the client's lifestyle and personal perception of beauty. Then, through years of crafted technique, natural creativity and artistic vision, the artist unlocks the client's potential for beauty and makes it a reality. It's really quite simple. Or is it? One thing is certain. We're not all alike.

The SpaceBeyond a bright storefront, a wide horseshoe comprising a reception desk/retail area, smock room and mirrored hair-cutting stations defines a spacious salon area. The upbeat chatter of in-the-know regulars and hip-but-friendly staffers echoes across magazine-strewn seating up the center of the room to the ample shampoo section in the rear. Downstairs, candlelit spa treatment rooms seem a world away from the bustle, save for the occasional footsteps across the wood floor above or faint strains of urgent intercom-pages.
The Services
Though hair initially seems to be the emphasis at Parto Naderi--stylists can transform nearly any coif into a shiny, straight Barbie 'do--its spa offerings satisfy from head (facials) to toe (pedicures), and everything in between (think waxing, body treatments and peels). Revive with a firm massage, boasting a sublime dry-brush scalp rub as a fantastic finishing touch, or freshen up fingers with an expertly performed manicure.
Key Points
- Hair Color & Highlights
- Makeup, Facials & Waxing
- Body Treatments & Nails
The Inside Scoop
- The Extras - Parto Naderi staff is also happy to help choose the right products for you to keep that look up long after your appointment. From an array of top quality products from Kerastase, Bumble and Bumble, L'oreal, Dermalogica and OPI, they'll find what fits you best.
- Know Before You Go - Though services and retail merchandise can be charged to your credit card, gratuities cannot be; so bring cash. There's an ATM outside of North Community Bank, caddy-corner to the salon-spa, if you find yourself in a pinch.
- Look Good - You can schedule an initial consultation and haircut with the man himself, Parto Naderi, for a few--OK, 35--dollars more than a regular designer visit will cost you; it's only $5 more expensive after that.

Professional & Friendly Staff, Relaxing Atmosphere
by clark3608
I have been going to Parto's since January (2007). The staff is friendly, they greet you at the door, offer you beverages, and if you are there on Saturdays, they cater in breakfast which is a bonus.
Steven Deer is my stylist and in my experience, most stylist are stronger in some areas but not others. I can honestly say though that whether your hair is long or short and regardless of the texture, he is artistic, precise, a color guru, and a perfectionist. His versatility makes him a true master at what he does, I have seen him style anything from long shoulder length hair to a short spiky mohawk. He listens, gives his feedback on what looks best for you but his ultimate goal is to please his clients. I would highly recommend him....
Pros: Downtown Location - Easy to get to after work

best hair cuts, friendly staff
by kelly_reilly
I finally found a great hair salon. Its been ages since I've been truly happy with my hair cut--my stylist actually listened to me and gave good suggestions--like changing the way I part my hair (who would've thought the difference that can make?!). The best part is that I can manage to make my hair look good at home. I'll be going back to try one of their colorists and perhaps a massage too. I highly reccomend anyone to check them out for a great hair style and inviting atmosphere.

Great Hair Cut
by asmith25
I've been going to Parto Naderi for about 10 years now and I've always been pleased with their hair services. The cuts are the best. I always feel so modelesque after walking out of the salon. If you want to a great cut then this is the place for you.

I've been going to Parto Naderi for 9 years and am extremely happy with the services. From Parto's hip/stylish cuts and phenomenal work with a blowdryer, to Donald's eye for color with an occasional up-do from Philip, I can't say enough. How can I forget about Josephina's head massages when she washes my hair..to die for! The salon is very welcoming and not one bit snobby. I've never had to wait for service and am always taken at my appointment time. Well worth the drive now that I've moved to the suburbs...wouldn't think about not coming here in a million years!

Its like walking into Cheers
by cprosapio
When I call they know me, when I walk in the door they know me. Its great! Im not there more than once a month but I feel like Im there everyday.
The people are great and the haircut with Parto is fantastic, Phillips updos are the best, Donald and Ana are amazing colorists and Josefinas shampoo is worth 80.00 alone!

The Best Pedicure Ever!
by mgrisdale
A previous review was about a bad pedicure. It did not mention who gave them the bad pedicure. I go to Monika. She is THE BEST pedicurist ever. I have been all over town trying much more expensive pedicures (for a work related project) and was glad to go back to Monika. Your feet end up looking and feeling amazing. Your feet are soft again as they were when you were a baby. She manages to beautifully paint my toes despite that I like my toe nails really short. My pedicure always lasts so long that my nails grow out before the polish comes off. You always feel pampered and nutured while you are there. Monika is a real gem.
Pros: Great Service, Good Value, Nice People
Cons: No Parking, Noisy, Busy

Bad pedicure
by bagel
I loved my haircut, but the pedicure I got was terrible and way overpriced - it was more like a foot wash and paint job....there was precious little exfoliating and almost no massage. I went somewhere else the next weekend to have it redone.

The Staff is the best in town, they listen to you, understand your needS when it comes to your hair, of course. Everything is great from the begining (shampoo), to the end (the style, haircut, color).
Good people, GOOD SALON.
I LOVE IT.
