While I was pretty happy with my first couple cuts with Hannah, my last experience was so bad that…read moreI will never be going back. I didn't get the cut I was looking for, and after leaving feeling unsure and shy about speaking up (as is so often the case with us women), I called and let Hannah know I was not happy with the cut and wanted it to be fixed. The layers were uneven and choppy and it just was not even close to the pictures I brought in. For how expensive her cuts are, I expected more. She denied my request for a fix, and said I needed to wait a week and then come back to her if I still didn't like it. I was quite shocked by this unprofessional and cold response, especially because I was nearly driven to tears about how my hair looked. Because of how this whole experience went, I asked for my tip to be returned. She agreed, and then informed me that I would not be welcome back. Not to worry--I don't want to come back. P.S. I was able to find another curly hair stylist to make a fix the same day. She was shocked at how uneven and haphazard the cut job was.

I am a client of Tina Schilling. IG: @distinctivehairdesignbytina…read more I followed her when she joined RK Salon in June. She's been a hair stylist for years. She's always trying to stay up to date on trends. Finding someone who knows their way around curls (cutting and coloring curl clumps) is rare and she is fantastic. She gives a great scalp massage during your shampoo which is...WOW! I also value her knowledge around products. She points me in the right directions with tips and tricks with shampoos, conditioners and styling products. Even learned about cowashing. Curl knowledge is even changing and following Tina on Instagram helps too. She's fun too. And has a wicked sense of humor. She's interested in you as a person, wanting to get to know about your life. Don't be surprised it you find yourself laughing in her chair. I am reviewing during COVID 19. In her salon, all staff and clients were in masks the entire time. I witnessed cleaning/ disinfection procedures after I switched between my 3 stations (styling, heater and washing chairs).

I just noticed Tina was on Yelp and I had to jump on to give her the praise she deserves. I started…read moremy curly girl journey about 4 years ago. First going the Deva Curl/ Curly Girl method route. Then during the height of the pandemic and out of boredom/insanity I decided to bleach my hair and do fun colors. However it destroyed my curls. I was having problems restoring them. Doing research I stumbled upon Rezo cuts and was amazed! I found Tina was trained in this method and the rest is history! She is so educated on what you need to do to get your hair right. And if you stick to it you'll start to see life go back into your hair. Plus you'll have a good time while you're in her chair. I'm forever grateful for what she's done to get my hair healthy again and I'm seeing my curls come back!

The Shoppe is conveniently located in the same shopping center as Jerry's, so it's super easy to get to. With tons of parking (covered in the back of it's raining), automatic doors into the building, and an elevator, it's accessible for everyone. In addition to talented stylists, the Shoppe has a great selection of procure for all your hair needs. Kay has been using purple products for me, which really makes my hair look great. I was even able to purchase the purple Moroccan oil that makes my hair look, feel, and smell super amazing. If you're in the market for a haircut, color, or just an awesome blowout, this is a hidden gem that you should definitely try.

Had a wonderful first time experience with Miss Bessie yesterday. My hair was a disaster because I…read morefailed at transitioning from relaxed to natural hair. So half of my head was new growth and the rest was dead relax hair. I've been getting relaxers consistently for 20 years and wanted to go all natural. I have so much hair and it's really thick that I just gave up and my hair started to clump together. Y'all it was a mess! So much so that I would wear scarves in public. When I saw Miss Bessie yesterday and showed her my hair we both started laughing (in a good way of course):) It was really bad y'all! However, Miss Bessie knew exactly what to do. She cut my dead ends of the relaxer (which left just my new growth), untangled, washed and deep conditioned. I ended up getting 2 stand twists and will be taking it out in a week or so to have a head full of curls. My hair is still long despite the needed trim of all the dead hair but now my hair is HEALTHY! I will be seeing her again in 3 weeks and recommend her to anyone who's transitioning to all natural and have no idea what they are doing. She also recommended me good products for my hair and told me to stay away from products I see other natural girls using (i.e. vloggers) because it may work on their hair but not on mine. I learned so much about being natural and was literally in tears after everything was done because my hair was that damaged and bad. I am forever thankful for Miss Bessie and love her expertise on natural hair as she's the only professional I know in MN who has been doing ONLY natural hair for 20+ years. Thank you! Thank you! Now I can throw my scarf away lol. :) -Satisfied Client
