    Trial hair, notice all the frizz. $120.
    Karla O.

    Had hair done for my wedding at Mina's. I choose Mina's because of how close it was to The Carolina Inn (my venue) and because it was named one of the top salons according to Bride magazine in 2013. I exchanged multiple emails with Louise, the bridal consultant onsite, she seemed very polite and eager to get me in for my bridal hair trial. She was very accommodating when scheduling my appointments with Enrique for trial and subsequent wedding day appointment. However, she neglected to tell me how much the hair trial would cost and that it would not he included in the price of the bridal hair. There was also no mention of it in the written contract. The hair trial was not what I wanted and didn't not look like a professional had done it. I assumed that because it was a trail, that I would not have to pay since there was no mention of it and was so poorly done. I posted pictures along with this review, please see for yourself. The updo was not worth the $120 that I was charged. I was furious and let Louise know that I was not what I had expected. Nothing was done, except that I would get a discount for my day of updo. I was also told that I should come the day before my wedding to get a wash and blowout. I've been to multiple hair salons in the Raleigh/Durham area and by far this was the worst blow out. I'm Latina and have very coarse and thick hair, most other salons are able to blow dry without any issues. After my blow dry at Mina's my hair looked so frizzy, I was so disappointed. The price, $60. Day of wedding, my sweet dog died causing me to be late. Enrique was very accommodating considering I was not only late but I also changed my updo style. Enrique tired really hard to make me happy but now that I look back on wedding pictures, was not the hair style I envisioned. Cost: $120. No discount as previously discussed was given but by this point all I wanted to do was get married, so I did not complain. I encourage brides to stick with people they know for you bridal hair or get multiple trials until you get one that works for you. I will not be back. Total paid, after 1 trial, 1 blow dry style and 1 wedding style: $300, not including makeup.

    I really like coming to this place. I forgot to leave a review back at the beginning of May when I first got my hair dyed by Jackie (who is amazing as a hairdresser and person). I've been doing a lot of in person, hey this place is great though because I'm still getting compliments on my hair color now (it's faded really awesomely from a dark purple to a mixture of blues and purples). The shade changing do wonderfully shows how great a job Jackie does. Recently a young lady said she liked my hair and that it looked like mermaid hair. I've had a lot of compliments since May and it really helps my mood on days when I'm not 100%. (also, I apologize for my face in the second picture - been having a really rough month). Also the front desk staff are really friendly and I come in occasionally to pick up shampoo/conditioner or to look at the makeup. I feel really welcome here. Highly recommend it!

    After my hair cut!

    Be careful that they don't overcharge you if you go in and you tell them you don't want jail it…read moredoesn't matter they will give you jail and then they will charge you for it a fill-in for acrylic which normally cost about $28-$30 They wanted to charge 57 and then she acted like she didn't speak English when I said I wasn't happy

    I've had a few episodes of miscommunication that I've tried to write off. However, it's happened…read moreenough where I'm going elsewhere to get my nails done from now on. A couple months ago, I made an appointment through their website during business hours. When I came at the appointed time, the door was locked. I called and someone picked up and told me she was sick and to make an appointment for a different day, even though my initial appointment had been placed and I had gotten a confirmation text. I didn't even get a discount for coming on a different day after driving to their shop initially, and finding them closed during business hours and with a scheduled appointment. This week, I received a birthday text to get $10 off my next visit. I had gotten my nails done a week ago and they were already chipped but I figured I would just come get them done again instead of asking for them to be redone, since there was a decent discount. The same person who had done my nails last week, which chipped, did my nails this time. The job was rushed and I had to ask my nail person to clean up the edges before leaving because he wanted to send me out with paint still on my skin around the nails on both hands. This poor service was already concerning. When I got to the cash register I showed them the $10 off text and they told me it was only for certain services so they wouldn't give me the discount, even though none of that was stated in the text. I asked them if they would send out these stipulations with their texts in the future because otherwise it's misleading. They told me no. I still paid them and tipped decently even though I honestly felt like giving them no tip with how bad the service was. This was more a reflection of me trying to bring my own emotions under control and be a better person, than any reflection of their service which was very poor. But I no longer plan to come to them in the future. The problem isn't just the service...it's the refusal to improve communication even after I've spoken with them about it and given them multiple chances to improve. Update: it's been less than 24 hours and my nails are already chipped again. The excuse is that it's regular polish. I've had my nails done with regular polish by other nail salons and it lasts more than a day. Making excuses for poor work and doing nothing to improve, is unacceptable in my opinion.

    I'm back with another review of this salon! I love this place…read more After a year of coming here I have had my nails done by many of the different nail techs and each time I have been impressed by how much they seem to care about the job they are doing. With that said, there are varying levels of skill at this salon. Just like you would find at any salon. You can pick a specific nail tech of your choosing if you prefer. Cynthia, the owner, is wonderful. It's not easy to run this sort of business but she does a great job and genuinely cares about the customers and her employees. You can tell by the regular laughter floating around the place. I will keep coming to this local salon for a long time to come.

I walked in and let them know about my appointment, I saw them check their book and confirm I was on there. She then told me to check in on the kiosk and pick my color. I followed the woman to a pedicure chair where she informed me that I shouldn't sit there and it was for someone else. About two minutes later, a woman walks in and thanks her for squeezing in an appointment. Wow. She tells me to go speak to the manager. He asks can I wait because there are three other people ahead of me, I said no I really couldn't and that's why I made an appointment. Very, very disappointing experience. Why let me check in for my appointment but then don't service me? Why was another woman with an appointment serviced before me? Why was there no real solution offered except wait for an undisclosed amount of time? I thought people were friendlier down south but clearly the businesses are not. 0/10.
