AVOID THIS SALON. SCAM - UNREASONABLE HIGH PRICES with a poor end result/service. BLIND SIDED BY…read moreprice of $348 with no results/change in hair. I used to see Leah at Lavish, she is the owner. Leah is very skilled, probably the most talented colorist I have encountered in my 15 years of getting my hair done. I was devastated when Leah moved me off her books. She did this to focus on her hair extension business, and referred me to Emily Radford. I am currently brunette, with the request to make my way to blonde, I asked for highlights and provided a few inspirational pictures. What I received was very minimal, I could not see a change in my hair aside from 2 chunky highlights at the front of my hair. I understand it takes time to break up brown hair, but i received was unexpected. I was charged $348. Emily is young, new in her career, which I was happy to give her a chance. Moreover, Leah, the owner of the salon has never charged me over $220, and would exceed my expectations. I am extremely sad with the results from this time around, or lack of results rather. I asked for the situation to be made, right, and resolved but Emily said since too much time passed she will not fix or refund. Yes, it has been more than 7 days, but my hair is the same as it was when I walked out of the salon on 10/19, its still brunette, with no highlights except in the front. It took me until today, 12/3 to find the courage to say something about the situation. Lavish salon will charge with you steep unreasonable, unjustifiable prices, without any explanation or preparation of price point. I was blind sided by the price of $348. I cannot afford this price point for my hair, and I am still in need of getting my hair corrected, and will need to pay another salon to make this right. I feel taken advantage of. Save yourself the $ and time, don't go to this salon. Service was on 10/19/23 - after photos from a month later 11/19/23 & today 12/3/23.

This was my first time to The Top Shave Lounge. I received the Traditional Haircut Experience and…read moreTraditional Shave Experience. I definitely recommend both. The haircut: Johnathan does a wonderful job at listening and learning about your own hair eccentricities beforehand so as to give you the best haircut experience. I usually get my haircut at one of those "run of the mill" shops, you know those type of places, where you may or may not get the same hair stylist and what you think your haircut should end up looking like is not always what you always get. At The Top Shave Lounge you not only get what you expect, but the end result is one of the best haircuts you'll ever receive!! The Traditional Shave Experience: This was actually my first shave experience at a barbershop and it did not disappoint. The Traditional Shave Experience included a hot towel treatment, aromatherapy, traditional wet shave, cool towel, hydrating toner, and moisturizer. As Johnathan said, you leave feeling like a super star!!! The shop: I loved the overall decor of the Top Shave Lounge. It really felt like an old-timey barbershop, as if your living during the prohibition era. Rustic wood paneling, old photos of barber shops, an antique barber chair and yes a barber pole. The decor along with jazz playing in the background gave a nice calming experience. The Top Shave Lounge also offers a full range of products from Art of Shaving line. Next time your lady says she's going to the spa or a salon(code for "I'm going to spend a pile of money") treat yourself to this speakeasy style of a barber shop, and yes you heard me right, you may just get a sip of whiskey....The Top Shave Lounge is more then just a barbershop, it's an experience!

You will likely want to walk around gorgeous Wayzata afterwards and grab an espresso martini at COV with your signature Twiggs blowout that I have received more compliments on than I can count.

I cannot say enough incredible things about Silvie Salon. From the moment you walk in, the entire…read moreexperience feels elevated, intentional, and truly luxurious. If you have high standards and truly appreciate being pampered and cared for, this is absolutely the place to go. I had 22-inch extensions done by Laura, and I am honestly still blown away. I've been to many salons over the years, and nothing has come close to the level of care, precision, and artistry she brings to her work. Laura goes above and beyond in a way that you don't often see--every detail is thoughtfully executed. I'm currently on a hair growth journey, and what impressed me most was how she prioritized the integrity of my natural hair while still giving me a stunning transformation. The blend is absolutely seamless--so natural and undetectable that I genuinely couldn't believe it was possible. I've never felt more confident or beautiful leaving a salon. Beyond the results, the experience itself is unmatched. You truly feel valued, catered to, and taken care of in all the right ways every single time. It's rare to find a place that delivers both exceptional results and such a warm, welcoming, high-end atmosphere. I've even brought my daughter here to get her hair done as well, and they were incredibly kind, patient, and kid-friendly--while still maintaining that polished, luxury environment. The space itself is gorgeous and adds to the entire experience. I'm honestly just blown away every time I leave. This is one of those rare places that doesn't just meet expectations--it exceeds them in every way. If you're looking for someone you can trust with your hair, especially if you care about both transformation and long-term hair health, Laura is truly unmatched. I cannot recommend Silvie Salon enough.

I came to appt. and told her I wanted highlights and a cut. She took little or no time cutting my hair. In fact she said she cut my hair b4 my highlights, really? No. I asked for highlights and when I saw her mixing up brown I questioned her. The reply, "I know what looks good on a person." She was rude throughout. When my appt was "over" I asked why she didn't cut my hair and she told me she did it before the highlights. I told her I wanted it cut on top and she literally picked up a clump of hair on the top of my head and snipped it off. I went to the desk to pay and a women walked in and the so called hairstylst was so happy to see her. She was a regular. I felt awful after such rude behavior.

My…read moredaughter and I both have sensitive skin, so it was important for me to find a place that offers this. Being new to the area I did an internet search and found Beauty Ecology. I loved that the website told me everything I needed to know about their philosophy on hair and skin care, and allowed me to schedule an appointment without having to call. (Makes it easy!) The space itself is located right in downtown Wayzata and there is plenty of street parking or two garages (all free). It's a high ceilinged space with an organic feel-natural wood, plants, and a smell that's fantastic (it comes from the products they use!). Our first appointments were fantastic, we both got color and cuts. I also had my eyebrows threaded (so much better than waxing!). We were incredibly pleased with the results and the service was amazing. Everyone on the staff was so friendly and knowledgeable. I returned recently for a second visit and again couldn't be more pleased. I had a cut and color, eyebrow threading and a 20 minute (for $20!) facial that is offered as an intro to clients who are getting other services by the amazing Taylor. She talked me through everything and was incredibly hands on with my skin explaining that she could customize the facial in a literally 100s of ways. This is no 'buy these products' facial-everything is customized for you and your skin. Likewise Kassandra was very hands on in choosing my cut and color and customized my hair color to be perfect for the fall and winter (we went darker than my last color). I have never had a cut and color as amazing as I have at Beauty Ecology, and I love their organic approach. I also picked up a number of hair care products that have been simply fantastic for my hair. The products are formulated by Kassandra and she took extra care to adjust one of my products to suit my needs right in the shop. Prices are not cheap, but you get what you pay for! The service, care, and philosophy at Beauty Ecology is worth every penny.

They were ready for me when I arrived and the girl who did my hair listened to what I wanted and worked fast. The only downside was I wanted to change my appt and could not. I would have been charged whether I showed up or not so I made the time work. The prices are a little on the steep size $35 for a style, plus tip. The person who checked me out did not mention the rewards program. I would probably used that to accumulate points toward discounts. Free street parking close by. Overall, I'm really happy with the way my hair turned out and would definitely come back!

I was extremely nervous about the whole experience for a number of reasons:…read more 1.) I'd just recently moved from Upper Michigan to Minnesota and didn't know anyone or any places that would be any good. 2.) I had just started college and thought, "oh, boy if my hair is goofy everyone is gonna judge me". 3.) I had mid-back length hair and was wanting to do a long bob so I was scared about going from long beautiful hair to a shorter look. I shouldn't have been worried at all. Coley works absolute magic. When I entered the salon the receptionist greeted me and made me feel welcomed. Shortly after that Coley came to get my for my appointment. Not only did she do a fabulous job on my lob, but she also made the whole experience more enjoyable. She's hilarious and really cares about your vision for your hair. She asked me many questions about length, etc. I also got a great shampoo massage from her. After she was done she even gave me a 10% on my next visit. I left feeling super satisfied with my hair style and I definitely recommend her.

Bella on the Bay is my favorite spa in Minnesota. I started going there a number of years back when…read moreit was under different ownership (and a different name) and have to say I like it better now. Bella offers everything you need - hair, body and nail services - all in one convenient location: Downtown Excelsior. I used to get my eyebrows waxed at Bella (I now try to maintain on my own to save $, but when I do get them waxed, I no longer go to Bella - no particular reason). I've had an awesome massage at Bella... they give you the royal treatment... flip flops, plush white robe, tea and a warm fire place while you wait... when the masseuse leaves the room at the end of the service, she goes into the locker room and turns on the shower for you so it is ready and warm when you get in there. I've also had a pedicure at Bella and loved it. One downfall to Bella is the parking. Being in Downtown Excelsior makes parking sparse from the get-go and it doesn't help that Bella has a very small number of spaces reserved for customers. There is a tiny lot behind the building with room for about 4 or 5 cars - unfortunately, it's a small driveway to get back to the lot and you have no idea if it's full or not. So, if you get back there and it's full, you have to back up, go forward, back up, go forward, etc to turn around and get back out to the street. I got my pedicure in the dead of winter and had to walk a block and a half in flip flops to get to my car because there were no parking spaces nearby when I arrived.
