The five star reviews ARE TRUE!…read more First, the ambiance was so relaxing. Im talking essential oil diffuser, low chandelier lights, candles for sale, fun couches, with a maximalist-esque decor vibe, and even a little library! Second, I came in to get a bad color fixed from another salon and believe me when I say that she went above and beyond. I didn't expect much since it was in pretty bad shape coming in, but she blended it so well and did exactly what I wanted. Going back to the relaxing environment, at the shampoo bowl, I nodded off THREE times because I was so relaxed. THREE TIMES! That's never happened with uncomfortable shampoo bowls being at odd angles, but the bowl was what all shampoo bowls everywhere need to be! It's by appointment only so you'll want to book in advance if you want to get in. After I booked, I went to look for another time and she was already booked a month out. (Not surprising!!) Great conversationalist, wonderful treatment, took her time on me, and just.. what a lovely experience. I would say this place is definitely a Maplewood gem.

Great location. Hallie did a wonderful job on my haircut listening to exactly what I wanted.read more

I've been here twice before, and undoubtedly I have had the best hair experience of my life here…read more Having curly hair is hard, especially hard to trust stylists with, but Jacob at the Hair Lab worked his magic and I will return definitely. He listened to exactly what I wanted with cut and color, asked questions to make sure he and I both knew exactly what I was asking for, offered tips and recommendations, and taught me how to take best care of my hair. He truly knows what he is doing and he is extremely talented at bringing to life his art. I also really enjoy the atmosphere at the hair lab, as it's very moody and elegant and clean. The staff are extremely kind and helpful and it was pretty easy to make my appointment. The price is well worth the service as well. I look forward to trusting Jacob with my hair again soon - which is a huge deal for me having grown up in fear of trusting hair dressers with my curls.

If I could give negative stars, I would…read more I came into this salon with healthy hair and a simple request. Highlights. What I left with was a chemical war zone on my scalp and hair that looked like it had been through a haunted car wash. The stylist completely botched my color. It was patchy, uneven, and flat-out fried. I looked like a spaghetti squash that had been left out in the sun. Worse. I went back to give them a chance to fix it and it somehow got even worse. The stylist acted like they had never seen a toner in their life and honestly seemed like they were not in a sober state to be handling bleach or scissors or any other living creature for that matter. I ended up going to another salon just to undo the damage and they were horrified at what had been done to my hair. After spending over six hundred dollars and enduring two appointments from hell, my hair is still damaged beyond repair. Think straw with commitment issues. Do yourself a favor. If you value your hair, your time, or your dignity, run in the opposite direction. This place should come with a warning label and a fire extinguisher.

If you have curly hair, Kyra is That Girl!…read more I have been wanting a curly shag forever and my past stylists have either been too afraid to do it or thought it would look mullet-y, so I thought I'd try a curly hair expert. Multiple reddit threads and FB groups later, I saw enough recs for Kyra that I was ready to give her a shot. The salon itself is so cute and eclectic--the coolest thrifted decor! And I was greeted with an offer for a drink and gladly took a hot coffee on a freezing day, which was a great way to get started. Then I met Kyra who was SUCH a good listener and she continued to educate me on what she thought would work for me, told me we could always get more funky at a future appointment so I wasn't too shocked, and walked me through all the steps of styling so I could recreate her magic at home. When I tell you that she gave me the cut of my dreams, I mean it! 70s vibes with defined curls and a routine that won't take me three hours. I genuinely can't wait to go back. GO TO KYRA!

My review for this salon comes from a slightly different perspective…read more I am an educator that has been here to teach continuing education for these stylists a few different times, and I must say, each time i leave even more impressed. These stylists take their education and craft seriously and it shows through their work. The atmosphere is perfected, from the clean white minimalist decor, to the great coffee and music. If you are looking for amazing customer service, professionalism, and stylists that know what they're doing, this is the salon for you.
