Julia also did my Wedding Hair before I got married and it turned out amazing. They offer free lattes and snacks which is always such a fun way to welcome guests.

When I'm here I see a variety of different hairstyles performed whether it's men's, curly hair, or blonde like me. I love the salon and will continue to keep coming back, thank you MODA!!

I have been going to Moda to see Duffy for haircuts for a couple years and LOVE it! The location is…read moresuper easy to get to, parking is free, and prices are reasonable. When you step in the door you're transported to a calming oasis. You'd have no idea you were in St Louis Park, MN. The salon is warm, lightly fragrant (always smells so good here), inviting, and clean. As you check in, they offer you a drink -- like a nice coffee! I always take advantage of that and think it's such a nice perk. I always feel very welcome and at home at Moda. The chairs at the stations are super comfy and plants are everywhere inside, as well as the wood interiors and white accents. It's so fresh, spacious, and clean in here, I love it! Everything is comfortable and beautiful. I followed Duffy here from a different salon because I love her personality, she provides a beautifully skilled service, and I always learn something from her when I visit. She's honest, friendly, and smart, and I'm so glad she's at this location! I have recommended her to my friends and they visit her as well. I appreciate Moda SLP for the vibes, the staff, and the location. You just can't beat it!

I fell in love with the place right away. It's a neighborhood salon in a classic building, and the type of place where people learn your name quickly and treat you well. We've since moved a few miles away, but I go back and see Jen every 4 weeks and never want to go anywhere else. It's more expensive than going to Great Clips, but working with someone who knows my hair and how I want it cut and who always does an awesome job is worth the premium. I'd write them a review every four weeks, but that'd be cheating. If you live in St. Paul, definitely check this place out!

The Rat's Nest Salon seems to be filled with friendly people and good products. Actually, I found my new favorite paste here and I couldn't be happier. A small complaint, but not enough to dock it a star, would be that there isn't a parking lot. I haven't had any trouble finding parking, but that might change in the winter when it is covered in snow. I like that there is online booking and pricing. Once booked, they send you reminder emails a few days before the appointment. Never had a bad experience with Megs or Aaron and enjoy their company while I'm there. Highly recommended.

She had a great process to help me decide on my final look and offered a trial to ensure we were both confident in it being perfect for the big day. My mother in law and best friend had their hair done by Molly and were equally impressed with their results! All of us had our makeup done by Michelle Sachs and she is so good! The makeup looked stunning and held up all day but felt so light on our skin. In addition to all of us being very happy with how we looked, we were also so well taken care of by the entire staff at the salon.

I typically do not stray from my regular stylist because…read moreI have had really bad haircuts in the past, but this salon looked cute and reputable so I gave it a try. I drive past it all the time, so it's a great location for me. This salon has a total "cool girl" vibe. I have been to other salons that felt more "cool" and "exclusive", but those environments were not welcoming. I grew up getting cuts from my mom and going to places like Supercuts. I am extremely low maintenance with my hair and normally maybe get it cut once or twice a year. In the past, other stylists at nicer salons have looked down on me for that and made comments that made me feel like I wasn't doing enough or that I was less than. Hour Rose Salon and Duffy made me feel very normal, welcomed, and accepted for exactly who I am. I can't say how much I appreciated that, especially in an environment where it would be so easy to make people like me feel like we're not doing enough. I booked online and chose Long Haircut. I like that the services are listed by length and give clear descriptions as to what you'll receive. It was also really easy to get in, I booked an appointment for less than 24 hours away. Before you choose date and time, you can select a stylist. All the options for stylists are given with a quick bio and typically also show their Instagram name so you can check out their work. If you don't care about who you get, you can also pick "any stylist" and just choose your date and time. I ended up selecting Duffy because I liked the photos on her insta and she mentioned specializing in curly hair (I think!). There's a great variety of stylists at the salon and I'm sure you'd be in good hands with any of them. Parking was extremely easy and free, and I was welcomed like I'd been there before. So sweet! The salon is clean and smells really nice. I was offered a drink of my choice (mint tea!) and showed to my chair to start my pre-haircut consultation. My consultation was quick (not too quick) but thorough. I showed some pictures of myself and pointed out what I liked and didn't like about certain haircuts I'd had in the past. Duffy asked clarifying questions and was extremely careful and listened to me. As the haircut went on, Duffy checked in on me to make sure I was liking what was happening, like length and certain techniques. She noted some qualities about my hair that no other professionals I've seen before have called out, which was so interesting! My hair has a very different texture beneath and on the top layer, and nobody's really pointed that out before. It was really nice talking to someone who knows curly hair. Duffy walked me through some care for my hair and shared some tips on how to book if I'd like to come in for trims and maintenance. I didn't feel like I was being sold to or like I was a number - it was a lovely experience overall. I am so happy with my hair and can't wait to come back.

You know the experience won't go as well if this happens in the middle of your haircut:…read more Hairstylist: Sorry about that, I had to answer the phone. Me: That's ok. Hairstylist: It was somebody from...Yelp? They wanted to talk to the owner and she's not here so I told him I'd take the message and have her call him back. He asked me if I wrote down all the info but I didn't...oh well. Me: Ohh ok... It made me wonder if she knew any idea of what Yelp was and made me not tell her that I may or may not review this experience. I may not review all the time, but for the most part, people always remember their not so good experience so here goes nothing: I got a tip from one of our managers on our floor where she got her last haircut and I was in dire need of a haircut (hadn't gotten a hair cut in almost a year so the mop on my head was was in desperate need of TLC). I told her that I loved her hair and she had a good experience with the girl at Shear Success. I said I am totally going there and happen to see they had a Groupon. Score for me - made me look forward to it even more so. Finally the day arrived to get my haircut and I was anxious all day for it because I was ready for healthier and lighter hair. Unfortunately for the hairdressers here, I compare their work with what I get back at home in Michigan. I've lived here for the last 5 years and CANNOT find THE hairstylist that is a keeper. I told the hairstylist you can do whatever you'd like to my hair, all I ask is that you do not give me face-framing layers and that it's no shorter than my armpit. I would think there would be endless possibilities as my hair was waist length. So this is what happened: She took the shears and cut off the length with maybe two cuts. Then proceeded to color my hair with partial foil. When she got to the hair closest to my forehead she slapped it on and probably punched my right eye a couple times in the process. I would have told her but I probably blacked out both times. And here is where I should have stayed quiet and not ask any questions: Me: So...what do you plan on doing with my hair (this is while she is blowdrying my hair, at which point makes me think she was close to being done) Hairstylist: Oh what do you mean? Me: Like what kind of plans do you got for my hair? Layers? Etc? Hairstylist: I already cut your hair, I'm just going to texturize it. Me: Oh ok (in my head I said, hahaha, just kidding). I don't know if it was because I had a Groupon in tow, but I felt like she did a half-ass job. Like she just wanted to get the job done. I was disappointed that there wasn't more dimension in my hair. If I wanted to get my haircut at one length I felt like I could have done that myself. I asked her if she could go back in and put some layers in there and she said that there already were layers in there but I just couldn't see them. At that, I tipped her nicely - probably more so than I should have, but since I don't think I'll go back, it was my "I'm not coming back and guess what, you'll be on Yelp." Overall, it wasn't a botch job, it was not horrible, I'm not a person that is attached to my hair, I think I was just disappointed - hoping for more creativity. And onward goes the search for the perfect hairstylist....
