About Us

A Salon That Feels Like Home

The Rusted Nail Saloon was born from a simple belief: everyone deserves a space where they feel seen, heard, and beautifully taken care of. Nestled in the heart of Iowa City, we've built a welcoming sanctuary where the focus is always on you.

Our team brings genuine passion and real skill to every service — whether it's a fresh cut, a statement color, or a manicure that lasts. We listen first, then create. That's the Rusted Nail difference.
