I was on vacation in MN, so did a walk in. Service was quick & friendly. I had a $10 coupon expiring that day and repeatedly told the front desk worker to use that, NOT my rewards points...get a follow up email...what did they do? You guessed it. They used my points. Good lord. I have the manager call me back. She did it wrong. I call back the next day. At this point I'm a bit perturbed. This isn't rocket science. After much back & forth, they finally fix it. Had the screwup not occurred, this would've been a 5 star review. Had it been fixed the first time, it would've been a 4 star review. I'm being generous saying it's 3.5 stars, and even more generous by clicking the 4 star button. I'm only doing that because I was able to get in same day with no wait. Pro tip: always check your points & passes. EWC is notorious for screwing up your points, and passes. Another location "lost" my pass and won't do anything about it. I most likely won't be renewing my membership.

Once checked in, there were magazines to read or product to browse. However, my technician was right on time with no delay. What I appreciate most was the frosted glass door to the private rooms. Once your esthetician brings you back through them, your brought to a private room that again is organized, clean and labeled. I had my wax with Kristina B. And she was amazing! Casual conversation the whole time and such professionalism. She was honest about what to expect and taught me breathing techniques, which made the experience less uncomfortable. Highly recommend this facility and Kristina B. For your next wax.

The techs here are great, you get what you ask for which is all anyone would want. I have gotten almost every single service here but the one that I do on a consistent basis is my nose (I don't know what it is but I need that done lol). I always have a different tech and I think this most recent time I got Anette (?) and she was just awesome. I walked in there and said I want it all gone, every single hair lol and she made sure to get every single one. I think I've gotten so many nose waxes at this point that I am immune to pain but I've never had any issues. The store is clean and cute, always smells good. I've never had any issues. If you are having booking issues.. just call them, it makes it so much easier. The online tool is convenient but not easy to edit (in my opinion) and calling just always is a safe bet.

She instantly knew what I needed and used amazing products that made my thick, coarse curly hair smooth, shiny, and soft. The look held up through a two day wedding where I danced my ass off, and still looks good on day 4. I never want to wash this off!!! The salon itself was very cute and spacious as well. For a random find, this place was five stars and Tamiya's work was 12/10!!!!!! If I am ever back in Minneapolis, I will 100% be coming here. Please see before and after photos

Everyone was so kind &…read morewelcoming and I was given a cup of delicious, hot tea w/ their own Agave sweetener blended w/ essential oils. I'm telling you, this sweetener is divine (I'm vegan & this blend does not contain honey, so I purchased some to take home). This store has a wide range of essential oils & they hand craft their own skin & body products. They were helpful & had a wide range of vegan products (I found a one-step cleanser that you don't need water for - just put on a cottonball & wipe over face. It works as a cleanser, toner & moisturizer - perfect for my night cleanse that I usually feel too tired to do haha). I also received an excellent skin service that left me feeling amazing. So happy to have found this loving team!

Ari didn't judge me for the state of my hair, in fact - she praised me for how I'd been doing on my own! My previous stylist joked that it looked like a drunk person had done my hair so I was a little shy about having someone see it again. (Thank you Ari!) I'm that person who wants something fun and new but never goes for it, and this was the same with Ari. I mentioned wanting a change but we both agreed not to try a shag and she trimmed me up and styled me nicely. Easy to chat with and also easy to be quiet with. I had visited Fox Den before they moved just for a perm consult and was happy at that time too. I hate parking in uptown but would visit again since they're one of only a few green salons in the Cities.

I went in to get a large and exceptionally gnarly mat out of my hair, and the staff were very empathetic and understanding regarding my situation. I knocked a star off because I feel like I got passed around between several different stylists in the process of my detangling, and that there could have been a smidge more communication between everyone involved. that being said, they did a great job and were very patient with me while I squirmed about in the chair. Esme gave me the best hair wash I have ever experienced in my entire life. they truly have the healing hands and I cannot emphasize enough how wonderful of a job they did. I would come back for the hair wash alone. if I had a million dollars I would go two or three times a week!

Joe is my go-to for luxury pedicures and basic manicures. He has been my primary nail tech for many years now. He ensures that all of my visits are 5 star experiences. I don't allow anyone to cut the cuticles on my hands and I never let anyone shape my nails other than me. Joe understands that I am a fussy, demanding client and is always patient and kind to me. When I call and say my name Kim always sounds delighted that I am making an appointment. I've rarely had to wait if I've made an appointment and in fact, I'm often 5 to 10 minutes late and have to call because I get caught in meetings. I often am with my adult son. We've been getting mani/pedis together since he was a teen. Always is very LGBTQIA+ friendly and inclusive. Meticulously clean. Very welcoming of patrons of all ages and ethnicities. I've met some great neighbors and friends at Always. My son and I are black and have received inconsiderate treatment that may have been due to our race at other establishments, but Always is always happy to welcome both of us. I've met many young black professional women at Always. It's important to me that my salon is welcoming and inclusive. Although I only make appointments when Joe is available, my son is more flexible and is served by whoever is available while I'm getting my service with Joe! He says "Mom, they are all great! You can't go wrong." Always had just undergone a re-model right as Covid started. I love the new drying station for both hands and feet. It's a comfortable, affordable, neighborhood salon where they take the time to learn your name and your preferences. If I've been traveling or away for a long time, they always greet me as though I'm a someone special who they are really happy too see. I love the luxury pedicures. I can't use gel or powder products on my hands and they are always respectful of my unique needs and requests. I've tried other places in the Twin Cities. But this is where I always return. This is where I bring my friends and family when I'm not just on a private pamper. This is the spot that I recommend to newcomers to the Twin Cities.
