I have gone to this place a few times and was happy that we had our own Black Owned Beauty store in…read morethis area.Thought it strange about the service until today. First they don't acknowledge you as the guest you have to, they watch you like a hawk up and down the clustered poorly lit aisles. I just went for convenience and to think for a black owned business in a better part of the city that they'd be more welcoming and see all customers for who they are rather than thinking everyone is out to get them. Just so you know I would rather drive 20/30mins to Brooklyn Park or South Minneapolis for a better service and for sure a much better interaction where customer service is concerned. For those folks who always say buy Black thank you and no thank you when it comes to BEAUTY PARADISE @ 9066 Lyndale Ave S,Bloomington MN. I believe you and your Team need to reevaluate your approach on servicing your Community cause you definitely need Us. l don't believe those prior reviews are real.# very dissatisfied#theydontseeUs#makeitmakesense.

Well I had spoken to a lady on the phone and she had said that I could make an appointment at 9 am…read moreso then I go there and it's not even open, I waited till 10 then they had opened but the door was locked. When they had unlocked the door I said I was there for an install. I get in the chair and the person doing my hair did not talk to me the entire time, she had been talking to another staff member in the other room. When she was doing my install she didn't even measure my hairline she just cut the lace on a mannequin and then she didn't even hide the bald cap I was wearing when she glued on the wig and the wig didn't even fit around my ears because she didn't cut around my ears, I was so dissatisfied I should have just gone to the place in the mall of America like I did last time atleast they actually made it look good. Oh my gosh I almost forgot, when she asked me if I wanted the wig sewn in I asked how much that would be and she was like "she didn't tell you when you walked in?" And I replied no. So then she was on the phone and after the call she said come to the register and then I had paid 85$ for a crappy install and the wig not sewn in. I regret tipping. I had to cut the lace around my ears when I had gotten home and glue down the parts that weren't even glued down. I had also noticed that they had LEFT A 2 CLIPS IN MY HAIR. So I would not recommend this place. Just go to the one in MOA they do such a better job AND they actully talk to their customers.

We…read morehad two separate appointments 30 minutes apart, but when we got there, they said we could have them together, which was awesome. We both left really pleased. Stella is hilarious and was very kind to my mother (who was anxious about being berated about the state of her feet, pre-pedicure). The massage chairs were nice, and they were easy for my 8 &1/2 month pregnant self to get in and out of without too much trouble. (I also liked that the chairs push back from the tubs quite a bit so I could really stretch my legs out instead of perching like a hawk practically right on top of the pedicurist the entire time, which is very uncomfortable....Rita's.) $35 for a good 30 minute soak (with lots of bubbles!), scrub, foot and calf massage, LOTS of cuticle oil and a great paint job AND an amusing stylist with a Jersey accent? We'll definitely be back.

They canceled my appointment after I had to rebook it online (I have a very busy schedule and can't always find time time to rebook during their office hours) after calling on my lunch hour and not reaching them, I left a voicemail. When I got there they were unapologetic about canceling the wrong appointment and spent more than 15 minutes looking for my cancellation/voicemail or something on their phone which in that time, I could've been waxed by then. They said I had canceled it myself online (which I didn't as I advised that's why I left the voicemail explaining the situation) then said it was because I interchange my last name. I can't help it that their site uses gmail which automatically populates my maiden name. I was a repeat customer each month for waxing services but as they seemed to get more comfortable with me, the quality of the service seemed to start declining. I'd go home sometimes and still have hair where it was supposedly just waxed a few hours ago. I stayed with them out of convenience and because you get a discount for repeat wax services but I think now I will pay a little bit more for better quality. Guess you get what you pay for.

I came into the shop to buy shampoo, and as soon as I had the product in my hand the salesperson came over, snatched it away and said, "I'll take that, is there anything else you need?"

I guess hearing my voice snapped her back to reality as she suddenly became very effusive and cheery. She didn't even acknowledge my presence when I first walked in. You know, I really want to support local businesses, but this is one place I'll never go again. I'm sure someone else in the Twin Cities sells my shampoo. The one star rating is for the fact that they have such wonderful products...

By far the worst experience ever at Pampered Hair Haven. I did my research and decided on micro…read morelink extensions to add LENGTH to my hair after having my hair thinned out at Fantastic Sams and the stylist accidently using the wrong scissors. I choose Pampered Hair Haven as they had the shortest wait time (I see why now). I had a consultation with Joyce (who claims 30 plus years of experience on all different ethnicities hair types). I explained to her why I wanted to do the micro link extensions. Joyce confirmed my hair was perfect the way it was for the micro links. I purchased Pampered Hair Haven's overly priced hair on the spot, in order to save the appt spot I was wanting for the following Saturday.... only to find out when I got home I could've bought the same amount of real human hair online for $80 (I paid more than triple that). On my install appt day, Joyce "finished" my hair with barely any length added.... When I expressed I was doing this FOR THE LENGTH, she stated she "MISUNDERSTOOD me" and thought I was wanting her to "fix the bad cut"... which I NEVER said... I was very clear about wanting length. So to "fix" this "misunderstanding"... Joyce charged me for more hair.... When Joyce finished instilling the rest of the hair, I expressed to her it still didn't look how I was expecting it to. She told me that it was because it needed to be CUT, then proceeded to tell me she sends all her clients next door to Connie (Hairs to You is the name of her salon)... during THE WHOLE CUT... Connie is making comments that she knows "nothing about extensions"... (the "trim" also costed $30 on top of everything I paid at Pampered Hair Haven) I also learned after the fact that extensions should ALWAYS be blended with ONLY a razor and this SHOULD ALWAYS BE INCLUDED in the process of instilling extensions. Scissors is NOT the best way to blend hair extensions. Joyce instilled all the links in the CROWN of my hair with no pattern what so ever. The back WAS SO UNEVEN (see pictures) and because she instilled the micro links on the crown of my head (where they are not supposed be instilled to begin with) the links were CONSTANTLY showing through no matter how I wore my hair, it couldn't be covered and they were constantly showing through due to the instill at the crown. I could not at all wear my hair down or in a high pony because of this as well. I brought my concerns to Joyce after a couple days of TRYING to work with the hair. She agreed to "fix what I was seeing"... While at Pampered Hair the 2nd time... Joyce tried to gaslight me several times about how the "hair looked" it was very uncomfortable and unprofessional, she even brought her co worker into our conversation asking her for her opinion and speaking FOR her that it "looked good" and stating she "saw nothing wrong". I expressed being completely dissatisfied STILL and pointed out that I still see the links showing through and that it was uneven in the back when she finished. Joyce stated I was being very "nit picky", she would need to "add more hair to achieve the look I am wanting" and she would "need to charge me if she continues to do more work". (2 weeks later I got a 2nd opinion from Kelly at Trio Salon, she stated because there was SOOO MUCH hair she recommended REMOVING the links at the crown and it will STILL blend nice, the total opposite of what Joyce stated.) Joyce also on this day stated to me I had "self esteem issues" and "I won't be satisficed no matter what is done to my hair" (who actually talks to any human being this way... let alone a customer?) Then proceeded at the end of this experience to take pictures of my hair to continue her gaslighting and EVEN HAD TO MOVE hair strands around before snapping pictures on her phone. By far the MOST unprofessional and WEIRD experience EVER. I left Pampered Hair Haven completely dissatisfied with THE SAME ISSUES she agreed to fix and I was not willing to throw in more money after spending nearly $700 for this whole terrible experience. Pictures posted are 2-3 DAYS after leaving Pampered Hair Haven the 2ND TIME, I tried several different styles in my hair before sending these pictures to Joyce AND BEFORE deciding to get a 2nd opinion at TRIO SALON. Joyce refused to fix her bad work. Kelly at Trio Salon filled in the HUGE hole in the back w/ the excess micro links from my crown and blended everything with a razor at the end! I am so grateful Kelly was able to fix the bad work I had done at Pampered Hair Haven at such a low price, now I am able to keep the micro links in my hair and wear several styles. I was not able to wear my hair down before without walking and the links showing through. I ALSO can EASILY put my hair up and NO links pop out. I was NOT able to do this before either! Kelly from Trio Salon stated the links were installed way too close to my crown and their was no pattern used. She stated it appeared "a NOT licensed person instilled".
