I really wanted to love my experience here because the salon itself is absolutely beautiful, and…read moreevery staff member I interacted with was warm, friendly, and welcoming. Unfortunately, the actual service I received was not what I paid for. I booked and paid $90 specifically for a curly haircut, which is a reasonable price in this area for a true curly specialist service. However, what I received felt more like a standard haircut rather than a curly cut. Before the appointment started, I thoroughly explained what I was hoping to achieve: more curl definition lasting beyond wash day, guidance on styling techniques, and a haircut tailored specifically for curly hair. Despite this, my hair was cut wet rather than dry, and there was no curl-by-curl shaping or specialized curly cutting technique used at all. As the appointment continued, several things made me question the stylist's experience level with curly hair. My stylist, Anna, seemed unprepared for the appointment. While styling, my hair was already drying and becoming frizzy in the front before products were even fully applied, and I had to point out that it needed to be re-wet. She also did not have her own diffuser and had to borrow one from coworkers. I had specifically mentioned that curl creams tend to weigh my hair down, but one was still used during styling. The diffusing process itself was also very uncomfortable, as I was instructed to hang the lower half of my body off the chair so my neck rested against the back of it. By the time my hair was almost fully dry, it honestly looked very similar to how it did when I walked in -- like I had showered, slept on wet hair, and done nothing else to style it. That was extremely disappointing after paying for a professional curly hair service. Anna could tell I was unhappy, and to her credit, she was kind and tried to fix things by washing the product out and attempting a blowout instead. Unfortunately, I still left with poorly styled hair. The face-framing pieces were going in different directions, and the overall result did not look professionally styled. I do want to emphasize that Anna herself was very sweet and pleasant throughout the appointment. However, when charging $90 for a curly haircut, a certain level of expertise and preparation is expected, and I do not feel that level of skill or knowledge was there. When booking, I specifically told the salon owner I was looking for an experienced curly hair specialist. I was told Anna was newer to the salon but had experience with curly hair and many happy clients. I truly hope this experience was just a one-off, but based on the multiple issues throughout the appointment, it did not feel like someone with advanced curly hair knowledge or technique. The owner did initially reach out afterward to try to rectify the situation, which I appreciated. However, after I responded, I unfortunately never heard back again. I had been very excited to come here because I've heard so many wonderful things about the salon, which makes this experience even more disappointing. I truly hope they take this feedback seriously because the salon itself has a great atmosphere and very kind staff.

It just feels like a place where great things happen. Booking was quick and easy through their online platform. I arrived early and was taken exactly at my appointment time for a haircut. I told Angela my priorities - I wanted to cut off as little as possible (a "baby trim" she called it) and I wanted to touch up my long layers. I was immediately at ease when I saw her take what can only be described as the tiniest snip off of my ends. She's skilled in her craft and is efficient with her time. My haircut from consult to finishing touches was 45 minutes flat. I get my hair cut maybe once or twice a year now, and I'll definitely be back. Maybe next time they'll have Diet Coke in the fridge instead of just Pepsi products . Overall great experience, very happy with my hair.

She was also incredibly friendly and sweet, I felt so comfortable with her just gabbing about life and our love of animals. I am genuinely looking forward to my next haircut with her! The salon itself is also light, airy, and really well decorated with a mcm vibe. The street parking is also plentiful and easy. Would definitely recommend checking out this salon and its stylists!

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.

The stylist was incredibly knowledgeable about different curl patterns and took the time to listen to my hair goals and concerns. They didn't just style my curls, they explained everything step by step, including what products work best for my hair type, how to apply them, and how to maintain healthy curls at home. The salon atmosphere was professional, relaxing, and empowering . My curls have never looked this defined, healthy, and bouncy. I highly recommend this salon. It's more than just a haircut ,it's a full curl education experience!!!

I felt humiliated sitting there looking in the mirror with those girls trying to pretend my hair didn't look a mess. Sam asking me " you don't like the volume" my hair was matted and dry from her brushing it multiple times. My hair clearly didn't get clean because it didn't absorb any water. Any person working in a curly hair salon should know about porosity and how to hydrate low porosity hair.

Once you're an established client, she will work with you and try to get you fit in, which I love and appreciate. She also carries some awesome curly hair products, which you can swing by and buy without an appointment. We always vibed, and I'm so glad to be able to be a return customer. Can't wait to come back and do even more blonding

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.

You walk in and feel that this space is an extension of the people that have come together in it. It's warm and inviting and sets the tone for my experience. The walls are brought to life with collages from magazine clippings and dried flowers. I can sip a canned cocktail and chill out for a few hours and not feel a sense of rush or urgency.

From the bleach treatment, my hair is extremely damaged and the red color faded after 3 washes in cold water/with color safe shampoo/conditioner. I contacted salon, and they redid the red color, and again the same fading happened. They also didn't use a toner at all during this process. I've gotten my hair done by a different stylist at a different salon to fix it, but the bleach treatment that was done at Homegrown was so damaging that no red color is sticking to my hair at all anymore. I've had my hair colored red before and never had any problems with the color sticking--but it was never bleached before that red. I paid $385 for the first color appt at Homegrown and tipped $80. Since then, I have tried and tried to contact Homegrown to get a refund as I've had to pay even more to try and fix it with a new stylist. Homegrown ghosted me after multiple people at their salon gaslighted me saying it was "my hair and hair changes" and that they were "writing down my message and would have management contact me". It's been weeks and I haven't heard anything back. Do not trust these people with your hair. Mine is now very damaged and there's nothing I can do to keep the red color I initially asked for.
