So, prolific yelper that I am, I'm glad to be settled into my new digs in Fargo/Moorhead enough to…read morefinally create some semblance of normalcy and routine. Part of any cosmopolitan girl's routine is getting her hair did. (as The Man calls it, much to my dismay) Even though my original plan before moving to the arctic tundra was to fly back to Atlanta every 2 months to see the lovely Lisa at Studio Philisa, with planning our wedding and trying to decorate the home, money is just too tight for such ventures. I figured it would be next to impossible to find a quality, detail-oriented stylist who would coddle my fragile hair ego, so you can imagine my shock to find an actual session stylist right here in Fargo! Kari at Mad Hatter Salon is fun, quirky and all sorts of kitschy... just like me. I was as nervous as a virgin on her wedding night when I walked through the door of her small shop on Broadway for the first time, but Kari immediately set to work making me feel comfortable and welcome. She listened to me and took time to understand all of my needs, fears and desires and was willing to work with my obsessive nature to achieve a compromise between my current posh, cosmopolitan style and my sleek, vintage wedding style this February. And even though a small issue cropped up days later, she worked me into her exceedingly busy schedule to fix the problem-- all with the wonderful grace and humour of a true professional. I will be coming back to see her as often as I can. And while I won't be able to see my dear sweet Lisa in Atlanta as often any more, she can at least rest assured that I am in very capable and lovely hands.

Although I loved my boyfriend and I loved our haircuts from Kari the lack of customer service…read morerecently has made me go in search of something new. She was a no show for an appointment last Friday. We called, no answer. Called again and left message no return. Emailed on Facebook, no answer. Texted, no response. Not sure what the deal is. Makes us sad, she was great at hair cuts. Maybe she we will finally get back to us and I can revise this review. Just wanted to update this. Only had one hair cut from Kari, and then no response from her. During the cut she was very nice and friendly. Since this post I have also recommended her to people. Sense I did feel she did a great job at hair cuts. She may not want to cut my hair anymore but I still felt she deserved business. To date the 6 or 7 clients I have sent her way she has also done the same thing to. Maybe she only wants to cut her friends hair. As for the review that bashed my review. If a stylists wants to "break up" with a client maybe you should not schedule appointments with them and then be no shows. That is what angered me more then anything. That was why we tried calling and getting in touch with her. Because she was a no show. Dont make the appointment to begin with. We are all adults here.

I've been going to Salon Duo for about a year or so now. A main factor for me initially making an…read moreappointment here was that I work downtown, and this location is very convenient. It's a 5-10 minute walk, so I can easily get a cut during the day without disrupting my day much. I've never tried a walk-in cut as I'm one to always make appointments, so I can't speak to that experience if you're the type of person who likes to not make appointments ahead of time. My particular stylist is Tabby and she does a great job. There are a bunch of other stylists there and the place is always brimming with activity. I wanted to get this review in to help offset the only other review, which is a 1-star, as at a glance it can then make Salon Duo not look good.

0 stars would be an appropriate rating. The service I received was not as advertised and the…read moreowner/manager was unwilling to offer a refund in any amount. My appointment started 20 minutes late (that time was not made up on the back end); the "body scrub" was rushed and not at all thorough; the technician waited a full 10 minutes to come back to the room after the scrub/wrap, despite being in the room when I turned the shower off (it literally takes 30 seconds to hop out of a shower and onto a massage table, so I have no idea why she waited so long to return). The "massage" was bare minimum--it's basically just them applying lotion--and it fell far short of the 20 minutes that was advertised. The owner/manager was not there on the day of my appointment (I expressed my concerns to the women at the front desk; they said they couldn't help me but said they'd have the owner call me). When I later explained to the owner/manager that my appointment was cut way short and that I certainly wouldn't describe any of it as relaxing or pampering, she offered me a $20 credit (the service cost me $125). I let her know that I don't live in Fargo and have no use for a credit (nor would I want to return and spend (ie risk wasting) even more money); she became argumentative, claiming that my story didn't align with what the technician told her. I can understand why the technician lied about what happened--that's what people do when they're at risk of being reprimanded or possibly fired--but I don't understand the owner/manager's response. I'm a veteran and I chose Affinity because it's veteran owned, but it's way overpriced for what you actually get and they won't even try--in good faith--to make things right when they go wrong. Save yourself the trouble--and heed the advice of the other 1-star reviews; go to one of the many other spas in the area.
