I love this salon. Molly is the best (and I'm sure the other stylists are excellent as well)! Highly recommend it -- great service, cool vibe, Bay View with style... read more

My wife went to Freya after moving to the area. She Googled salons in the area and saw Freya was highly recommended. She was not disappointed. She has naturally very curly hair. She says that one too many bad haircuts with curly hair leads to big trust issues. She was assured when she booked her appointment that the stylists were very comfortable working with very curly hair. They did a great job (Thank Katie)! My wife showed her one picture of the extreme new style she wanted (she cut off 10"), and the stylist NAILED it! My wife is very pleased with her haircut (I think she looks great with her new style) and she will definitely be going back to Freya! Highly recommend! read more

Tess is the best! I live in IL but drive all the way to Bayview so Tess can cut my hair. The best part about Tess doing my hair-when she shampoo's my hair. She has magic fingers!!!!!!! Then when we go to her chair-I sit back and let her do what she thinks will work best. She is serious about her trainings and staying current with new techniques so I know she will make my hair look amazing. When we are done, she recommends product but isn't pushy about it. In addition to Tess, the salon is very comfortable and welcoming. Nice place. The receptionist is also very friendly and gives me reminder calls/text to make sure I don't forget my appointment. read more

Maria and Emma are great! I am from Chicago and had a very difficult time finding a hip and stylish, but down to Earth, salon to get my hair done at for my wedding. I got a trial and day of up-do with Maria and a waxing with Emma. Both were so easy to talk to and really friendly. The establishment itself is very cool, urban, and artsy with exposed brick and ducts. I give the music an A+, as well. Don't miss out on their outstanding tea selection and yummy chocolate peppermint mints. read more

As being an ex-hairstylist myself I'm EXTREMELY pick about my hair. I have tried a few salons in the metro Milwaukee area and I can't find anyone I like....until I found Emily at Freya. I had really done my research and chose Freya based on the many excellent reviews. I now can attest to the reviews myself. Everything about Freya is great. The staff was friendly and not gossipy (Like most salons). I love the vintage-hipster feel. Emily did an AMAZING job on my haircut. Hands down I will be returning and I have already suggested Freya to friends and family. Price wise- you get what you pay for. I felt the prices were fair based on the stylists experience. read more

Nice place for a decent haircut. Will take at least 90 minutes for your hair to be done

What can I say.... I have been a fan of the salon since it was just an idea. A group of talented stylists pooled their energy, expertise and enthusiasm to create a one of a kind salon. Their goal: to make their clients look great. One of the best salons in the city. read more

I have been going to Emily for years- and now that I've moved to a new city, I find myself plotting return trips back to Milwaukee just for her and her magical haircuts. She's creative and professional and always does an amazing job taming my crazy curly difficult hair. I really miss this salon. read more

I went to Freya for the first time today and it was an excellent experience. I have major trust issues with my hair but figured since I'm newish to the area it was about time I find a salon. Katie cut my hair and she did a great job! She was super nice and chatty which made me feel very comfortable. I was offered tea, coffee or water by the receptionist right away and again by Katie before my cut. She knows her stuff and gave me a lot of great tips as far as styling my curly, somewhat bipolar, hair. I will definitely be back to see her! read more

After moving to Milwaukee two years ago and having awful hair cut after awful hair cut I'm finally in love with my hair again! Tess, my stylist, was absolutely stellar. I had actually walked into the salon looking to see if they could save my hair and set me up with a future appointment and Tess offered to take me right then! She listened to what I had loved previously with my typically unruly curly hair and what I hated about it at the time. She took a tremendous amount of care and I left FINALLY loving my hair again. A week post cut and it still looks and feels great! The salon itself is very lovely - nice exposed brick wall and concrete floors that work very well with the style. The waiting area is comfortable and they have a nice selection of treats and reading material. Oh! I even got some free product samples on the way out as well. Everything about this experience was wonderful and will definitely be going back as I cannot recommend Freya Salon and Tess enough. read more

Every single time I come here I am told that my stylist is running late and that they just called to tell me within the last 5 minutes!! Then when I arrive I told she will be 10-15 minutes late and instead I end up waiting at least a 1/2 hour!! I starting to think she doesn't want to cut my hair!! It is soooooooo incredibly frustrating and disrespectful of my time! I am expected to confirm my appointments multiple times but it seems to me that they change my appointment time every single time I come!! I had to rush out of work today and I am a teacher!!! I also have other freaking appointments today!! This sucks!! read more

Took me a while to find "my" salon after being away from Milwaukee for 8 years. Stephanie and Freya is it! It's tough to find a good salon in Milwaukee that isn't Aveda (which just doesn't work in my hair). Freya has great products, offers samples so you can find the right one. Also, free bang trims between cuts - love it! read more

Had my first appointment at Freya with Tess and I have to say, I'm pleasantly pleased. All the staff are friendly and the space is welcoming. Tess was awesome, very friendly and very helpful. She answered all my questions and took the time to show me different ways to style my hair and offered her input on products and tools she'd suggest using. Overall great experience and I'll definitely be back! read more

I went to Freya off of a recommendation from a friend of mine to get a Devacut by Denyse. Let me tell you that this has been the BEST decision for my hair. I was so hesitant to get a devacut because of the mixed reviews I heard but Denyse took so much time to listen to my concerns and gave me an awesome consult prior to the cut. She walked me through the entire process while she was cutting and explained why she was doing everything. Once it came to washing and styling she taught me the proper way to apply product and gave me tips on how to recreate the look at home. I absolutely love the results and HIGHLY recommend going in to see her! I came in with long curly hair and left with the length I wanted, amazing volume but without the bulk and weight of long hair. She even sent me home with samples of products that I had mentioned I wanted to try during the appointment. I have found a new stylist and cannot wait to go back! Thank you!! read more

Freya Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

I came to Freya for the classic manicure and was treated like a princess. Abby was wonderful and very sweet not to mention great at doing my nails. This was probably my third time coming here and they keep me coming in. Their eco friendly recycling is very nice to see as well. Thanks Freya! read more

This salon has an awesome look and vibe to it. This was my first time here and I am always worried about how my hair will turn out. My color and cut were amazing. My stylist really took the time to listen to what I wanted and was constantly making sure I liked what he was doing. My only complaint is that a partial highlight and cut cost me almost $200. I was a little shocked by this and confused. This may be a reason that I don't return, but I would still highly, highly recommend this salon! read more

I am always a happy customer after visiting Freya. My first stylist was Emma (she did an amazing job!!), but after she left I switched to Emily, who is also wonderful. This time I needed a cut desperately, but Emily was booked until the end of January, so I took my chances and scheduled an appointment with Alex. So glad I did! She did an amazing job, really listened to what I wanted and was very gentle with my hair, I almost fell asleep. I can see that people who work at the salon really love what they are doing. Will definitely come back! read more

I have finally found my new salon. I moved to Milwaukee about 4 months ago. I'm sure everyone can agree that finding a new salon/stylist is always risky business. When I first got here I went to the salon that seemed to have quite a monopoly here in MK.. I wont name names, but it rhymes with peroli. I didn't get what I wanted and paid more than I've ever paid for a salon service. (And believe me, I am not new to the salon world..) To top things off, they wouldn't correct it and give me what I wanted... so I moved on to another salon I heard good things about. It was a cute place, but the service was just mediocre and nothing really sold me on the place. I went to ANOTHER place up in Cedarburg and they did a really good job, but I don't want to drive that far just for my hair.. so the search went on. FINALLY, today I stopped into Freya for a much needed bang trim. The receptionist was kind, and they were able to get me in right away. My stylist, Emma was relaxed, professional, and did exactly what I wanted. Even though she fit me in while a color was processing, she spent a good amount of time with me and didn't act rushed, as I asked her several questions about my hair. I have found my new salon, and my new stylist. Freya it is! read more

It may seem a little over zealous to say this, but my DEVA cut with Tess at Freya was a life changing experience as far as my hair cut experiences have gone. I was in the market for a new stylist after seeing the same person for the last 12 years. When I first started seeing my previous stylist I felt she understood and knew how to cut my curly hair and was recommended to me because she knew curly hair. In the last 5 years or so though, I became dissatisfied, as she began to straighten my hair a lot and seemed to forget about my curls. I love and embrace my curls and finally decided that I needed to find someone who could show me how to get the most out of them. Enter Freya Salon. My mom told me about Freya, as a woman she does yoga with has curly hair and said she went to a salon where they had stylists that specialized in curly hair. I called up and inquired, and they told me about the cuts and prices, and although I was nervous about the price, I went with the DEVA cut since it was designed for curly haired people like myself. I am BEYOND HAPPY I did and my hair has NEVER been this curly, and beautiful in my life. I am so pleased, and already scheduled my next appt. It was totally worth the cost, and I will never look back. Thank you Tess and Freya for showing me my true curl potential. I am so thankful. :) read more

I am so grateful to Yelp for helping me discover Molly at Freya. She is totally wonderful. She listened to exactly what I wanted and then gave me the most beautiful, natural looking highlights. Plus, it was the most reasonably priced full-set of highlights I've ever had! I will definitely be going back. I've found my new hairstylist! read more

No wonder this is such a joke. Not only is this a stupid cut, it's uneven. I couldn't see it before because this isn't my specialty, but sure enough. One side has layers more than an inch shorter than the other side. Fuck me. Over six inches lost on front layers that don't even blend with the back. A genuine South-side Milwaukee mullet. read more

I had Alex balayage and tone my hair....she is a queen!! I told her exactly what I didn't like about the last time I got my hair done (not at Freya), that I like SUPER blended colors and that I prefer warmer blondes. She did exactly what I was hoping for. Every time I get my hair done, this is what I want the end result to look like. Thank you Alex!! I will be back to see you! read more

I love this salon. I followed my stylist Molly from another salon and she is amazing. The atmosphere is very relaxed and urban feeling. They have great products and are not pushy for you to purchase them in any way. I would suggest for you to try Molly, but I don't want her to get so booked up that I can't get in anymore!! read more

Maria is the best! I get bored easily with my hair but she always keeps it fresh and stylish without being fussy. She is also great with my two little boys and husband! Its a family affair. read more

I recently went to Emily for blonde painted highlights. She did a great job and corrected the icky color I had previous to sitting in her chair. Also, she was so sweet and gave me a sample of Kevin Murphy's "Born Again" hair treatment. I've purchased Oribe products for a long time, which are great, but crazy expensive. Kevin Murphy is more reasonably priced, PETA friendly, and most importantly (in my opinion) work just as well as the Oribe conditioner I once obsessed over. Now, I plan to purchase the Kevin Murphy treatment, and I am excited to go back to Emily for hair painting in a few months! read more

Disaster, Disaster... My hairdresser got married and left town so I had to find a new place... Decided, Oh, I'll yelp an awesome place and just go there, right? Ended up making a 6pm appointment to this place, thinking, it's a hip little shop w/good reviews in the heart of Bayview, let's give these guys a chance... I went in wanting a long bob which meant chopping my down to the waist long black hair and I left with a tiny bob that reached my chin, WTH?!... They put me down w/Joe who listened to what I wanted, looked at the pictures I brought, was very mellow and unsure throughout the whole process and ended up cutting an extra 2-3 inches off from what I'd requested. He just couldn't get my front ends to the same length so he kept chopping shorter and shorter and shorter AND it still wasn't straight, when I got home, I had to fix it myself... He was just bad... I mean he put so much mousse on my head that it was dripping down the side of my face, I had to shower when I got home from all the stickiness on my face & neck... Ultimately, he cut my hair the way he wanted it, in his own words, "he did not want my ends to be whispy", that's why he cut it shorter... HELLO! I asked for a long bob because I like whispy, you're paid to cut my hair the way I want it, not the way you want it... To end my story, this was back in August, I did not leave a tip, I never returned, my hair grew out and I ended up going to a different place to get my long bob, amen... I even told the new hairdresser I picked this story to make sure she'd cut my hair exactly like the picture I brought and she did. read more
