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)

Oh dear. I hope this will help you make an informed decision about getting services at Salon Ori…read more Here we go: I met with Anne Magnuson for a haircut, liked her and the cut, and went back for a partial balayage ($180 after automatic gratuity) to achieve a pale pink color (see photo). The result was a slightly darker color than this, but I liked it. I've had many color jobs in my life--permanent, semi- & demi-permanent, henna, color depositing conditioners. I didn't touch my hair for 48 hours, and then rinsed it with water as cold as I could tolerate. Immediately, there was noticeable fade. Over the next 9 days, I washed it a couple times with cool water and color-safe products I'd used with previous color jobs. All the pink left, leaving a mix of gold/yellow/bleached color and my natural, salt and pepper (see photos). Even the Punky Color brand of depositing conditioner lasts longer. I reached out to Anne. Her first recommendation was to come in and pay for a glossing service ($90 before automatic gratuity). It was 11 days after the dye job. She blamed my products. I sent her photos of the ingredient lists, she didn't comment. I asked for a recommendation of a product I could put in myself. She recommended some shampoo/conditioner and a color-depositing product that wasn't available. I let her know, and asked her how long she had expected the color to last anyway. She made another recommendation, and didn't respond to my question. At this point, it was clear she was only interested in recommending additional purchases, and was ignoring my questions about how the dye she put in my hair was expected to function. She blamed my color-safe products, but wouldn't support this with any comment on the ingredient lists I sent. I had actually told her what I use for color-safe shampoo at our appointment, and her only comment was "I didn't know they (the company) made that." Nothing else. No suggestion of any specific products. So, I reiterate to her: 1) After 48 hours, noticeable fade started after just rinsing with cold water; 2) Did she see any red flags in the ingredient lists? 3) How long was the color product she used supposed to last anyway? Her response: politely telling me she won't work with me anymore. And again, no response to these reasonable questions. I reached out to the owner, who tells me "I'm sorry you were disappointed" and that she stands by Anne and also "as she is an independent stylist, I don't get involved in her business." Wow! So, if you're going to book a service at Salon Ori, be careful! If it doesn't go right, chances are they will not address your questions, they'll just want you to buy more stuff, and then tell you in polite terms to **** off. Now I'm going to go put a Moroccan Oil product in my hair--I should have done that in the first place.

They feature local artists each month to decorate the space and have lots of lovely plants in their big, sunny window.

Her name is Donna, she use to work at Hair Advantage in St. Anthony, then Becky's on 2nd in the art district of north east, and just recently she's opened up her new shop in Columbia Heights, "Hair Atage" My favorite part about her is she is really down to earth and a fun person to talk to, she isn't one of them self absorbed stuck up stylists you'll find at great clips or Kids Hair...and yes, shes great for kids! Check her out!

My wife discovered the Rats Nest shortly after we moved into the West 7th neighborhood, and she…read morepolitely requested (or told me I had to) give it a shot. I fell in love with the place right away. It's a neighborhood salon in a classic building, and the type of place where people learn your name quickly and treat you well. We've since moved a few miles away, but I go back and see Jen every 4 weeks and never want to go anywhere else. It's more expensive than going to Great Clips, but working with someone who knows my hair and how I want it cut and who always does an awesome job is worth the premium. I'd write them a review every four weeks, but that'd be cheating. If you live in St. Paul, definitely check this place out!

The Rat's Nest Salon seems to be filled with friendly people and good products. Actually, I found my new favorite paste here and I couldn't be happier. A small complaint, but not enough to dock it a star, would be that there isn't a parking lot. I haven't had any trouble finding parking, but that might change in the winter when it is covered in snow. I like that there is online booking and pricing. Once booked, they send you reminder emails a few days before the appointment. Never had a bad experience with Megs or Aaron and enjoy their company while I'm there. Highly recommended.

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.

I love it! It is super quiet and relaxing. The last salon I went to was one big open room which at times was really loud. People would let their kids run all over, messing with the chairs and just being plain annoying. I no longer have this problem at Sola Salons. Getting my hair done is finally what it should be....relaxing and ME time. She is open to being fun and doing new things to your hair. Life is short....live life to the fullest! Another great thing about having your own space is you can decorate your room to fit your personality. Mallory has elephants, Buddha's and Ganesh in her space....it is a happy place. We have a lot in common and I look forward to seeing her again in July.
