Great doesn't even begin to describe my experience at Lolamax. I'm always a little bit nervous going to new salons after having a few bad experiences in the past, so I did my research before coming here. Booked with Leah for a cut and color after almost a year with no haircut due to COVID, and holy cow. She worked with me to find a cut and color that would work with my hair (and what it's been through with hard water, stress and previous bleaching). I left feeling like an entirely new person and almost cried in the chair because I was so excited for my hair to look pretty again. Thank you to Leah (and everyone at Lolamax), I would recommend this salon to anyone! read more

Nice clean Salon and friendly staff. I have been there twice now. The first myself and my 5 yr old grand daughter she got a cut and I had my extensions moved up. Then again yesterday I had my extensions removed after a year and a half just to take a break and got a trim. Both times amazing with Trae, I wish I could remember the name of the young woman that did my grand daughter's sadly I don't. I can say this my grand daughter walked out feeling like a princess for the next two days flipping her hair around. I wish I had taken pictures, but sadly I did not. read more

Great experience with Todd. My virgin hair processed very easily, so my result was lighter than originally intended. It still looked amazing after Todd styled it for me. We talked about it, and he said he could put more color in for me right now if I wanted... I asked to live in it for a few days and make a decision. He said no problem... just log in to the online schedule and grab a spot if I decide I want more color in the next week or two. I did go back for more color, and I was very satisfied with my second visit as well. It's been about 2 months. My color is still very vibrant, although I do use color safe products, try not to expose my hair to more heat than necessary, etc. Just booked my next appointment for the end of October. Todd is very kind and fun to talk to and I'm excited to have him work on my hair again. read more

I have waited to write this review because I don't want everyone to know how amazing this salon is. From booking online to being greeted at the front door , everything was easy, breezy and seamless. I booked a partial foil and cut with Leah. She was truly amazing. She listened to everything I wanted. We discussed my hair needs and then she interpreted everything for the best possible outcome for my hair. She even did a special Brazilian treatment on my hair, as I travel a lot and my hair has a lot of build up from different water sources. I walked out of the salon feeling brand new. This is now my salon for life! read more

I'm usually the last person to write a bad review. Especially after paying, tipping etc. I gave my color 3 weeks to settle in with me before having to go get a color correction. Becca had a full foil with me, and basically gave me a terrible block streak job with no toner. Sitting down in the chair was fine- although it wasn't wiped down? And neither was the robe so I was COVERED in someone else's hair after leaving. 1st problem. I asked for a blended blonde full foil with dimension. I got a 90's yellow disaster. 2nd problem. After the foils were placed and washed out- I asked about toner. She said she already put it on. Without even talking to me about what kind of toner I would want. I asked a second time if she was sure she put toner. She said she did, but She didn't. 3rd problem. After coming to a new salon to fix this, they showed me that she didn't even do a full foil which I paid for, didn't do a toner, and really took advantage of the situation. I hate to be the type of person who writes a bad review- but when your stylist literally tells you she is "lazy" and you end up with blocky yellow hair.... You have to let others know. This is the place for you if you like super chunky hair. Ask for Becca. read more

I made a last minute decision to get balayage on my natural hair with absolutely no color. I called and got an appointment that started in 45 mins. I knew exactly what I wanted to look like and the end result is what I wanted. It took about 40 minutes of time to wait until the color sets. I was offered tea when I got in, showed the look I wanted to the stylist, and we were down to business soon after. I tried very hard to have some conversation with the stylist, I asked some basic questions about her day, her, my color, upon which I was told that I should stop asking questions and just know that I will look like in the picture. I found that quite rude. I wasn't asking about the chemical composition of the mix, I asked some basic questions and mostly trying to be polite and converse. When the color was done, she washed my hair but needed to go get something. It felt like eternity. The hair washing chair is very uncomfortable for your neck when you wait there for long. Even the cheap places give scalp massage and when I am about to pay approx. $200, I expected such service, but I didn't get any. True that I came 9 minutes after my scheduled time, and my excuse was I took the only last minute opening and it was a hard place to find in a part of town I've never been to, but it was real rushed at the end. I did however appreciate that she dried and curled my har despite being rushed. All in all, the result looks almost the same as I wanted to look and she was fast and efficient and knew what she was doing. I just wish it was more personable and simply put nicer. Spending 3 hours with anyone is a long time. read more

Todd was wonderful! Fantastic haircut, excellent styling advice, and delightful conversation. Highly recommend!

I spent ages trying to find a salon I liked enough to come back to consistently, and I've finally found it with Lolamax. Bryce is awesome and makes the appointment fly by. Super reasonable prices compared to many of the salons around here, and they have Saturday hours which is a major plus for me. Highly recommend! read more

Still super happy with this place, was in to see Becca last week and got another amazing precision cut, I know it's awesome because I get compliments all the time. Equally amazing is Todd, one of the owners. I ran in tonight to pick up some product I forgot to buy and he went out of his way to make sure I left happy. He did that, 100 times over. Thank you Todd and Becca! read more

Just moved back to here from out of state and you know how difficult it is to find a great salon - well let me tell you I found the perfect on salon on the first try. If you live in Minneapolis, you must go see Tanya for your hair needs.  She is seasoned hair stylist and colorist who knows what she is doing without hesitation. A true artist, and a genuinely wonderful human being. Customer service at the salon is top notch and I look forward to going back for my future appointments. read more

I looked to yelp in Fall of 2019 after moving back to Minnesota to try to find a new salon for my hair that needed desperate help. I have been coming to Lolamax for over a year now and I can honestly say my hair has never looked better! Todd and the entire Lolamax team are unmatched in their artistry and provide flawless service to all of their guests. I usually arrive at my appointments with a half-baked request based on something I saw on instagram or pinterest, and Todd makes it look even better than the pictures every single time! The booking process, service, products, and results are all excellent. Todd is also so kind about answering questions and creating a beautiful end result every single time! Coming to Lolamax was definitely the best decision I have made for my hair, from blonde balayage to going back to my natural brunette. I will be going to Lolamax as long as I live in MN! read more

I had a great first visit here! I made a reservation online with Leah for a cut/balayage after reading reviews and literally received the best service and cut/color ever! I should have visited before when I lived a few blocks away. Leah was really good at listening to what I wanted. I showed her a few pictures and she knew without me saying anything exactly what would look good on me. She trimmed my hair to look fresh without going too short, as I mentioned I was trying to grow it out. She adjusted my color to be more fresh and natural and made product recommendations to avoid brassiness as I struggle with that between colorings. I received a great cut with beautiful dimension that was much easier to style. On top of that, even at full price, I was pleasantly surprised by how affordable everything was. Do yourself a favor and try this local salon out! read more

Leah is a hair magician! I had my first balayage treatment with Leah and cannot day enough good things. My hair turned out exactly as I had hoped and looked like the pictures I showed her. She spent 3+ hours dying and styling my hair and was thoughtful about each step. I will absolutely be back to see her for my next hair treatment! read more

I stopped going to this salon because Todd was throwing away my hair extensions and then lying to me that he had put them all in. He was throwing them in the wastebasket and then he tried to put trash over them to cover up what he did. read more

I'd be sinfully remiss if i failed to mention Leah, another Lolamax stylist who has given me superb cuts on three occasions. While no cut is going to make this weathered face of mine gorgeous, she has never failed to deliver the style I want. I highly recommend her. read more

Worst haircut ever. Showed a photo of what I wanted ,didn't help. Looked nothing like it.

Love this salon and stylist Trey for brightening up( or dimensionalizing my summer hair into fall!

Got a balayage done by Todd and he did a great job! Felt very at ease being that it was my first time coloring my hair. Will definitely be back! read more

I was visiting for work from out of town and went in for a Brazilian blowout. Todd is an excellent job and was fun to chat with during the process! He even trimmed my ends for me after the blowout was done. Would definitely recommend! read more

I came to this salon because of the good reviews on here so I felt obligated to share my experience. Becca was my stylist and she teased my hair before putting in the foils, making it super tangled after washing it and then used a dirty plastic comb to rip out so much hair and break off the ends. Leaving my hair super damaged and frail. It was much more painful than relaxing. She the told me my hair is going to be damaged and I need a haircut and that's what you get when you want to go super blonde and bleach your hair. I am already natural a light blonde just wanted to get it lighter and match the roots I have done it many other places that didn't use bleach or leave my hair so damaged after. The results were no where near what I asked for and look splotchy and messy. I have had beauty school students practice on my hair do a way better job. Would not recommend this place.... read more

The customer service was friendly and all questions and concerns were answered prior to appointment. Todd is a true talent and artist with color. Having never previously colored my hair professionally, Todd knew exactly what to do with my hair to achieve the results I want and is very knowledgeable with the science behind hair coloring. It's a wonderful Minneapolis hair salon without the pretention of other high end salons. The staff treats you with the utmost friendliness. read more

I got my first Balayage today from Todd and Derick. They were so kind, funny, and helpful. I love my Balayage and look forward to coming back to Lolamax. read more

Lolamax Salon - Balayage - Hair Extensions Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I've been searching for a salon and stylist since I moved last year. I finally found them both! After consulting the reviews, I made an online appointment at Lolamax with Vicki. She took the time to sit me down, look at my hair, and figure out what was going to work best. We decide to blunt cut my ends and add lots of blonde. I gave fine textured hair an I was in need of a burst of color. I love it!! I got my mojo back. Thanks Vicki! read more

I got a cut and balayage with Tanya and really like how it turned out! Tanya was super friendly and easy to talk to, and the salon felt safe and clean with good COVID precautions. Before my haircut my hair was rough and damaged (especially on the ends), so I chopped off a couple inches to freshen it up. Tanya was very detail oriented in layering my hair so that my ends will hopefully feel fresh longer if we end up going into another shutdown. The balayage experience was fun - after lightening, my hair was bright and warm (yellowish), as it often is when I get a balayage. Tanya suggested we try some silver/pewter toner to cool it down, and the end result was an ashy blonde with silver shine. The change took a couple days to adjust to after I got home from the salon, but now I'm three days out and I love it! 4 out of 5 stars because my balayage ended up being more expensive than I anticipated based on the advertised price when booking my appointment - the process took a really long time and we had to use a lot of toner (I have a lot of hair), which added to the cost. However, I'm super happy with the end result and I think it was worth every penny! I'll definitely be coming back for my next appointment. read more

On a whim, decided to get my hair colored this morning and came across Lolamax through google search. Was able to get in today for a balayage with Todd and the results were exactly what I wanted. He is awesome and I just found my go to salon and stylist. Thank you Todd! read more

I made an appointment online with Leah and am so happy I did! I am visiting from out of town where I don't have access to many salon options and Leah gave me the cut and experience I've been needing and looking for. She started with a magical scalp massage that reminded me to chill out and relax - I have 3 kids so this was majorly appreciated. Then, she cleaned up my haircut and made it look fun and exciting again. I have chin length hair and bangs, and my texture is very fine so it's obvious when layers aren't cut well. The cut she gave me today made it look technical and flawless. I'll definitely come back next time I visit! read more

Bad balayage experience here, I understand a lot of the science behind hair color coming from a family with multiple people in the business, I wasn't expecting magic or anything specific other than lightening my hair up a bit, but left with almost the exact same hair color $240 later. Extreme disappointment because I really felt I did my research with this salon, I'm sure there's other good stylists here that do wonderful work but this was my honest experience. Would not recommend read more

It's like my hair just had a therapy session! The cut and color were both perfect. Vicki treated my hair like it was her own. The tips she gave me about simple things I can do to get stronger, healthier hair were fantastic. Lolamax is the casual/convenient version of an Aveda Salon. No soothing tea or essential oil neck massages, but the quality of their work is an even match! read more

I made an appt with Todd for the brazilian blowout for 5:30. Making apt in the evenings make me a bit nervous, cause everyone is tired by the end of the day and i feel like they might not do justice to this tedious process. But I was busy and needed the hair tamed. Brett greeted me at the front desk and was polite and offered me a glass of water while i waited. Todd was running a few minutes late but he addressed it and told me he should be ready soon. which he was. He did an amazing job! the blowout looks great and my hair is touchable again :) i had a bad haircut a few months ago. todd trimmed my hair without charging extra. Very few people i know actually care about the customer the way Todd does. They will be seeing me here a couple of times a year and all my friends too. If you want to get a keratin treatment or Brazilian blowout done. Please visit these guys. they are awesome! As for the indian community goes, i am taking it upon myself to spread the word- u will be seeing a lot of us. May i just add, i called 5 places and these guys were through, polite, good and affordable. A hard combination to beat. read more

Sally is amazing! I went in for a Brazilian blowout and it completely changed my life! I have extremely curly and textured hair, and my Brazilian blowout got rid of all my frizz and made my hair really smooth and soft! Love lolamax so much!! read more

I moved here this year as mama of two little ones. I hadn't had a haircut in exactly one year and felt really intimidated to go out in public for one! I was in maddening mom mode, for real. I live in the neighborhood of this salon, and Aveda salons have always been my favorite (for whatever reason). Well, Laura probably got more than she bargained for with taking me on. I wanted something--anything to make me feel like more than a mama. I also obviously hadn't chatted much with adults, because I know I talked her ear off. She was awesome, listened and did amazing work on my mop of hair. She even took the time to go over styling tips for someone who has to chase kids while getting ready (she does this herself, so speaking from experience). I don't think I'll be waiting for another year to go back. I love my cut so much! Thanks, Laura! read more

Updated on 6/10 Todd gave me a call today and explained that some people tend to leave the product for longer time and that's the reason they left the product on my hair. I gave him a feedback that people should be given this choice and he agreed. I am increasing the rating as he got back to me immediately to get my feedback. Not many people do that these days! -------------------------------------------- I went to this salon for a Brazilian blowout after buying a groupon. I saw good reviews about this place and was very excited. I was suggested Brazilian blowout vs Keratin complex as I have thick hair. I was asked to keep the product on for atleast one day. After i washed my hair its still the same. Not much difference. So I went back and started doing some research and found out that she missed last few steps. According to the Brazilian blowout website, the product should be washed off after straightening and few other steps need to be done. Apparently these steps are skipped. read more

Trae is amazing at Brazilian Blowouts! He is efficient and the results are great!

I came to Leah Ruff for the first time today and she was fantastic. She really listened to what I wanted. Her scalp massage and shampoo were incredibly relaxing. She took her time and did a great job with my haircut. I will definitely be going back! read more

Leah Ruff is awesome!! I very rarely can find someone who listens but truly also then gives you exactly what you say you want. She literally kept all of my length and cleaned up my layers exactly how I wanted them. I would highly recommend her! read more

The salon itself looked nice, and the ladies there were very kind and helpful. Reason for two stars is I never got my hair cut. I had an appointment with Vicki, and I waited for 30 minutes for her to show up. No phone call from her to the salon, and no call to me later to apologize for being stood up. I was excited to try this salon, and may try again with another stylist. read more

I went to Leah to get a balayage & cut, she did amazing! She was very nice and offered me coffee when I walked in. She listened carefully to exactly what I wanted and walked me through the process of how I was going to get my desired hair color. I'm more than satisfied with the outcome of my hair and I will be coming back for future appointments & refer my friends as well read more

I went here for the first time with a Groupon for a haircut, deep conditioning treatment, and style. Sally was great and very personable. She did an amazing job with my hair and the style turned out fantastic. I would highly recommend her and this salon! It was very clean and I like that it is smaller. read more

Todd is a true miracle worker. He listens to my concerns and provides solutions that are amazing! I have been going to him for 5 years and look forward to every visit, top notch stylist and a wonderful person. I'm sure every stylist there is great, but Todd is my favorite! read more

I highly recommend this salon. The price is very competitive. I got my hair done by Leah. She actually really listened to what I wanted and executed it perfectly. Very happy with my experience. read more
