The services were performed by her and I couldn't be happier. She was very friendly and did not seem put off at all to have me back in. I'm upgrading my review because I truly believe that this is a fantastic salon with great staff. While my first experience may have been less than stellar, I do feel that my comments were understood and greatly valued and for that I will certainly be returning to this salon for more services. Original Review: I feel terrible for saying this, but this was the worst mani/pedi I've ever received. If you're looking for some great nail cleanup such as cuticle/hangnail/dead skin trimming and/or amazing foot filing/scrubbing, I can't recommend this place. The girl who did the services was very personable and I liked her very much (which is why you see 3 stars), but her skills do not compare to the place down the street next to Casey's. For the money, I'm disappointed. I could have done what she did and better. I think the photos will help you see what I mean. I chose to treat myself and evidently this was not the place to do it. I sat in the salon for a half an hour flailing my hands through the air to get them to dry to a point I could roll my pant legs down and perhaps get in my car. On the bright side, the salon was very clean, though half the lightbulbs were out. Unfortunately, I won't be going back for the same services.

Although I was completely happy with my stylist in Elk River, a salon "1 block away" will win all the time. I did not know Keila, so I sent her a DM to introduce myself and schedule an appointment....a 'trial' run, if you will. Keila did not disappoint! As a new client, we both needed to get to know each other and be on the same page. She listened to me, made suggestions, told me what my hair would not be able to do, and together we found a style that worked. LOVE my new cut. Keila is personable, professional, and has great skills. I will continue to go 1 block away for my cuts. :)

So you feel very rushed! And many of these type of salons make me worry about hygiene. If they can't clean the spots I can see, are they really cleaning the parts I can't??!! Not so here. Everything is nice and clean. Secondly, the massage chairs are wonderful, with different levels of massage and intensity. I was offered coffee, tea or water. You have your choice of a regular pedi for $24 or the spa pedi for $42. I chose the spa pedi that includes sea salt, a pomegranate wrap and massage. Totally worth it. They had a nice choice of colors to choose from. It was SO relaxing. Love how my tootsies turned out. For $5, they can add art work with sparkles. There are two chairs in the spa area, so next time I'm taking a girlfriend or my mom for a nice mani-pedi afternoon. I highly recommend.

I enjoyed it and the salon's prices are very reasonable. However my time was hardly relaxing thanks to the way the salon is set up. The room where the esthetician works is just around the corner from the front reception desk. All the conversations from the desk were easy to hear. In addition the bathroom is right next door and you can hear the toilet flushing. The spa waiting room has 2 seats and is open to the salon. Yesterday there was a man who sat there the whole time talking on his cell phone. He was taking up a space that someone getting spa services could use, plus he was loud enough to hear during the facial. This set up is poor, and there are no seats by the receptionist in the salon, so anyone coming in waits in the small spa area. The salon could greatly improve by making a few modifications to their setup. For me, one of the perks of a spa treatment is relaxing afterwards. There was certainly none of that at Salon Adagio. Too bad, but I doubt if I'll come back.

These guys are all great - I love their personalities - and they keep me coming back. Prices are reasonable for what you get - if you want cheap, go to Great Clips - and I am always greeted w/ the utmost courtesy and friendliness. I feel very lucky that my favorite salon is so close to my new home in Elk River. Keep up the great work, Avalon!

Went in for a last-minute appointment scheduled for 10 AM. all that I wanted was a trim on my ends…read moreand my bangs.... just a touch up. I was going to be taking the place of a client who had last-minute canceled on a stylist named Heidi. The consultation time with her was very short. She asked very minimal questions, but I was told by the lady at the front desk that she was "very good" so I trusted her. However, I was wrong to do so. The overall experience at the salon was pretty pleasant. She made good conversation with me and I was provided with water. I walked out of the salon pretty happy with my results. I thought that my bangs were a little bit short, but I didn't mind that much since that happens almost every time I go in to get a touch up knot my bangs. mind u i barely have bangs they are basically long curtain bangs that i like to have because i wear my hair up a lot and i like the look. anyway, day goes by I have a headband in because I was doing chores all day. I come home take my headband off and am shocked. I was left with choppy, uneven, way too short bangs. I am not sure how she was able to style them so I couldn't tell when I left the salon, but it's safe to say I will be stuck wearing that very same headband until these grow out to a reasonable length so that I can fix them and they won't be too short. Safe to say this is one of the worst touchups I have ever had and that I will forever be scared to go back into any salon and ask them to touch my bangs ever again. I'm sad to leave, I don't like doing this. This place was recommended by my mom, she saw a different stylist who wasn't available this day , not sure if it would've been a better decision to wait the next day she would be in work or if I should've never came into the salon at all. I was hoping this would be a much better experience, considering their prices are very reasonable and it was a pretty quick cut. But sadly, I have learned my lesson and will probably stick to cutting my own hair despite being FAR from a professional.

I've now had 2 questionable coloring experiences at Custom Cut & Color in Big Lake so I thought I'd post a review. In Oct 2015, I went in to have a trim and to have my hair color adjusted from a mistake I had made at home (I tried to lighten a box dye I had used a couple months before but the only parts that lifted were my roots - I later learned this is a common at-home mistake). We decided that the outcome would be best if we dyed my hair the brown color that was on my ends and add caramel highlights to lighten my hair. The stylist was way too inexperienced for this. Four hours and $140 later, I had almost black hair, barely visible highlights, and she had unevenly cut off 4" of my hair. I went back to have the manager fix it and she did a very nice job. All said and done, over 6" of hair was cut off and it was incredibly darker, the very opposite of what I wanted. She told me it would soften over time, which it did but I was left with a definite line of demarcation as it grew. Fast forward to Feb 29, 2016. I scheduled a color appt with the manager because I was happy with her capabilities last time. I didn't want to go as dark (again, I was looking to go lighter) but I wanted everything to blend into the chocolate brown color that the dye faded into so I asked for low lights and highlights and showed her some inspiration photos. I have visible red/orange undertones in my hair so she suggested I do a root touch-up in a red-brown color and add some highlights. I wasn't sure how this would blend with the demarcation line but she assured me it would. Hey, I'm clearly not a cosmetologist so I trusted her opinion. She quoted me $54 for a root touch up, 10 foils around my face, and a trim. She said the quote could change a little depending on how much product she used. $103 later...here's what it looked like (first, second and third photos). I was sent home with a wet head and no idea of how bad this really was. It wasn't until my hair dried that I realized it was a mess. And yep, my hair was parted down the middle, as seen in the photos, when the foils were put in. Also, there was no product in my hair, the highlights on one side just naturally looked...greasy? I went to another salon for advice. They told me they wouldn't want to touch what the stylist did and the best thing to do would be to go back and get it fixed or let it grow out. Let it grow out? Not an option. Since the only option seemed to be to go back, that's what I did. The manager was professional and appreciated that I communicated with her that I was unhappy but the fix she did was not nearly as nice as the first time. The highlights were chunky and still uneven and my hair was pretty dark again. See fourth and fifth photos. I left the salon feeling ambivalent. Though it was an improvement, it still wasn't anywhere near what I had asked for. After 4 appointments with almost 4 hours at each appointment, 2 of which were color corrections, I was left with hair I hated and a lot of money out of pocket. Unfortunately, I won't be returning to this salon for color again or any others in the chain for that matter. Too risky and the pricing structure is a little too loose for my liking. I will say that my haircuts by the manager were great, hence the 2 stars, but I have a tried-and-true stylist in Maple Grove that I have since returned to for the care of cutting my hair. As a side note, because I was so incredibly unhappy with my hair color, I decided to correct it myself. That line of demarcation and the ensuing dark dyes from the salon were very irritating and I knew the only way to "fix" the issues would be to use a color remover and bleach it out. With the help of the hubby (and hundreds of blogs and YouTube videos), I lightened my own hair without incident and I LOVE the results! See sixth photo. I would have paid someone a lot of money to do this for me before I knew I could do it myself. ;) In all seriousness, this gives me a perfect canvas to start over in any way that I choose without having a dark band in my hair. UPDATE 5/2/16: I noticed that the salon's profile pic on Yelp was changed to the blonde hair photo I posted in my review. I contacted the business and asked that it be removed since it was misleading, it was a correction my husband and I did, not the salon. The owner responded and said she removed it as the profile pic on FB, which I hadn't even noticed. She also said she was told this pic was taken by a stylist at the salon. After more exchanges she went on to say that Yelp automatically uploaded my photo as their profile pic and the only way my pic could be removed is if I deleted my photos and/or review. I'm no Yelp expert but I do know that I can change my profile pic as I choose. I'm downgrading my rating of this salon from 2 stars to 1 star for the manipulation I feel she was attempting.

When I returned home and really looked at the cut, I was in tears! I notified the salon and spent a week trying to get in touch with the manager. Once I finally got to speak to her, she just gave me the owners email and took my number to give to the owner. She never spoke with me. Only dealt with me through email. I wanted my money back. $130 for the worst haircut and color I have EVER had! When they told me I was not going to get a refund, I offered them 3 days to make things right or I would let others know so no one else gets ripped off by them. She then said, and I quote, "it is our policy not to get that cash". End quote. I do not recommend this salon to anyone.
