Before I found Allen Lin, I thought that an itchy, burning scalp was part of the normal hair…read morecoloring process. I didn't know that some stylists dilute the color before applying it so they can save money on product, and I also thought that having my rinse water turn dark brown after the first few shampoos was normal too. It's not. It depends on the product your technician uses, and Allen uses the absolute best! My coloring process is so comfortable and I have zero runoff because the color stays on my hair instead of going down the drain. I visit Allen about every six weeks (or until I can't stand my gray roots anymore), and if my hair didn't grow, I could go much longer between salon visits. Allen also cuts my waist length hair once a year. He will do exactly what you say, meaning if you ask for a one inch trim, you won't end up with a six inch chop! Allen is meticulous in his work and never rushes. He is a perfectionist in the best way. Just like his coloring products, Allen only uses top of the line shears. Yes, that makes a big difference too. My hair looks great with no split ends and no dryness. Phenomenal! Allen's prices are probably in line with other salons except his service is so much better. I don't really know what other salons charge because I won't let anyone else touch my hair. If I could bubble wrap this guy to keep him safe, I would. I don't know what I would do without him. The bottom line is that if you want a gold standard, top notch master stylist, Allen is your huckleberry. Schedule early if you want a specific day because he is always booked. The best ones always are!

I've been to Allen several times over the past few years since living in St. Paul. His cuts have…read morealways been on point and quick and even at a great price for the quality of cut you're getting. He's cut mine while is was both long and short and it always turns out great. Plus he's just a nice guy. Cash only, but there's a wells Fargo across the street. Will definitely continue going to Allen for as long as I'm in the area and he's cutting hair!

I was just here, hated every second of it. I had gotten a perm over the summer somewhere else and…read morewas wearing it long but wanted a cut to give some structure and movement, but still be able to play with the texture of the perm because I like it. I scheduled with Hasaan. Showed him two videos and a photo, he only asked me "you want to keep it full in the back?" I said yes, because it's like that in the photos. I felt like he barely looked but I didn't question because sometimes people are just that good, they already know what's up by a glance. He asked me if I liked the perm, I talk about how I grew my hair out for a year and how I didn't want to keep getting fades because it was too much maintenance to go every 1-2 weeks. Other than that he doesn't talk to me which is fine because I only really want to be communicated with about my hair and haircut. Basically no consultation about my hair and goals, especially as a new client. He busted out the clippers and before I could protest all my hair is gone. He asks if the length is good afterwards, all I can say is yes? What am I supposed to say, hey can you glue my hair back on my head? I obviously didn't want it any shorter. Look, I don't tell people what to do in their own profession as I am not a hairstylist but it really should've just been some scissor work. Even with the longest guard it would've still been shorter than what I had asked for. I was just asking for layers and a trim - if that was not communicated through the photo and videos I shared then why wasn't I asked. The back isn't even "full" like he confirmed with me, it seems like he just wanted me in and out and gave me a generic short haircut I didn't ask for. It's uneven, I have long stray hairs. My hair is sticking out because he cut it short, which I didn't ask for, and when it's short it sticks out. I know my hair, that's why I didn't want it. Paid $45 for the haircut (plus tip because I'm not a jerk and I know people need to live). Could've gotten this haircut somewhere else for less. I was and still am irritated as hell because I just don't understand how it went from what I wanted to what I got. He didn't even try. And I effectively lost time spent growing my hair out and money I spent on the perm that he just cut off. This was by hair the most messed up haircut.

I wanted to find a place that specialized in Asian hair and Korean perms but was reasonably priced…read more My hair was shoulder length, so not too long, and I wanted to make sure the perm was wavy rather than too curly, so she permed the hair and then cut it. I showed Casey a picture and she immediately began the process. Although I was there 3 hours, it did not feel like it. She was very efficient and we had a good amount of time chatting but also solo time. She made sure it was the way I wanted my hair, and told me to call if I had any problems or questions about the care! Definitely recommend for price and quality of perm! ($180 for short length hair)

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.
