While visiting Duluth recently, I took a guest to SK for a pedicure. While I am not negative or…read moreunreasonable by nature, I expect a high service level from a place that exists to serve its clients, yes? I don't want to over-explain, but if you are looking for a place that is responsive to your basic service and concerns, avoid a SK pedicure at this point. -Our scheduled appointment was delayed by 50 minutes, during which we sat with our feet in lukewarm pedicure baths in the back of the salon. -We were then worked on by 1 young and clearly inexperienced person who attempted to serve us both at the same time. She was joined about 20 minutes later by another person, and they rushed through our pedicures. Neither was done at a professional level. -My person reworked the final polish so many times, it was mottled, wet, and uneven; probably the worst professional pedicure I have received. - After nearly 2 hours in the salon, I walked bare-footed and wet-polished to the front. There, I tried to salvage the job with polish remover myself. -We were not offered a discount for our trouble, so I asked for one. This was the most disappointing aspect to me; the owner or manager should have been responsive immediately for the poor service we received, and offered at least some compensation. -After settling on a minor readjustment, I left feeling pretty unsettled and embarrassed in front of my guest, but I am very clear. If you run a customer service establishment, you have one time to make an impression, then you lose. -PS, the pedicure costs at SK are 50% over the price I pay in Boston for an always excellent manicure, that I will schedule soon to fix this poorly done job.

I got married in September of this year and I used Salon 507 for both hair and makeup. It had been…read morea pretty rainy weekend and I was worried about my hair getting all frizzy from the humidity, but the hair stylist, Courtney, did such a great job keeping every hair in place. My hair stayed perfect through the humidity and all night through all of my dancing! My mother and two sisters also had their hair done by courtney and they loved it too! There was a marathon going on that weekend and the road to our venue was going to be closed, but Courtney and her makeup artist made it on time with no problem! Very punctual! I had both hair and makeup done in an hour or so before photos started. Great experience over all, thank you for a great wedding style!!

I selected Salon 507 to do my wedding hair and makeup based on the selection of my wedding venue…read more I didn't do a trial run so I was a bit nervous. Also, I was using hair extensions which I've never done before. I emailed Courtney about it and she quickly responded with a very succinct and kind email assuring me she could use the extensions and there wasn't anything to worry about. When you're getting married there are so many questions and moving parts and I cannot tell you how grateful I was that Courtney quickly responded with a reassuring answer (in the form of a short easy to read e-mail) instead of a bunch of questions. It was one less thing I had to worry about. The big day arrived when I pulled up to a house rather than a traditional salon like you'd find in a larger city I was admittedly skeptical. My trepidation began to dissipate with Courtney's kind demeanor and hospitality. Then, Courtney started to work her magic... I cannot begin to describe what an amazing job she did with both my hair and my makeup. My hair was unquestionably my favorite part of my entire look, and that includes my dress, jewelry, and shoes. She asked what I had in mind (which was "kind of a side ponytail cascading down... that's all i gave her). She asked about my dress and the look I was going for and she created something that fit the look PERFECTLY. She just had this vision and made it come to life. To top it off, her makeup artistry was equally great. I cannot recommend Salon 507 enough. The prices were a steal. Courtney was so easy to work with and so kind. You can book online. She kept to the schedule. And, most importantly, she has incredible talent. I cannot stress enough how great my hair and makeup turned out.

The hairdresser Amber was so nice and such a pleasure to talk with. I have been coloring my hair forever and this place was one of the best experiences I've had in a long time.

My hair turned out great and so did my daughter in loves. I highly recommend this place!

I hired Sequoia to be my stylist and she had decided to not follow thru on an appointment I had…read morebooked with her.. But she decided it was more important to attend a sports event instead due to getting free tickets for it... She also has been very hateful once I booked another stylist at the salon to meet the appointment I had with her! And Sequoia didn't seem to understand why I did that because she couldn't meet the appointment that was booked with her. Sequoia has been very rude and very disrespectful and unprofessional and there for I had no choice but to Fire her as my stylist and I will not put up with her shitty little attitude. I Suggest You Grow Up Sequoia and learn your lesson on how you talk to not only your customers but the salons customers I also hope they take the appropriate action to address the serious issue that has been brought to their attention. I Suggest you not book with Sequoia.

She was insanely knowledgeable, helpful, great at explaining the process, and very thoughtful about sourcing her natural ingredients.

Can't wait to come back and get some custom makeup and do the lip gloss bar. It's such a unique concept and amazing to have something like this in Duluth!

My experience started out odd. She was not very personable I felt like I was not helped along to…read moremake the most appropriate decision and I had never had lash extensions so I was clueless. I went off a picture I liked and I feel like she should have told me it was not a good idea rather than doing a full volume or mega volume on me because they were falling out like crazy within the first week I tried to get a hold of her to get in to get them filled but unfortunately she could not get me and it was very expensive day I believe it was almost $300 for the start up extensions and then every two weeks she would go in and get a feel when I notified her that they were falling out like crazy before the first week was done she made no effort whatsoever to get me in to fill or to see what the problem was so I ended up going to someone else who had to take them all off and start all over. I was told that the lashes were way too heavy probably for my lashes or that she possibly used bad glue I did everything right with the after care and they were falling out in gobs so I lost $300 for nothing basically ended up going to a new place and paying a new start up fee and have not had that problem since. My lashes last almost the full two weeks a few fall out very disappointed with this place
