I'm not usually one to write reviews, but I just had to give my input after going there several times over the past year. As the previous reviewers have stated, Jaide Salon is the best salon for its buck! First off, the ambiance of the place is fantastic. The service is incredibly friendly and low-key, just what you'd expect from a popular neighborhood salon. You can even find the owner of the place working hard next to the other stylists. Not to mention, it smells nice but not overbearing when one enters the salon! They've apparently also gotten positive nods for their wide variety of organic products that they offer. The service is also excellent! I've gotten my eyebrows waxed, a haircut and highlights, and a pedicure. Everything has been superb! I'd highly recommend an eyebrow wax with Heidi (as everyone else has said), and a haircut and highlights with Corianne! Heidi is very friendly and is by far the best in her profession that I've found so far. Corianne is funny and is knowledgeable with cute hairstyles. And I'm positive that everyone else who works there is awesome. All in all, I would highly recommend Jaide Salon, so don't drive by it when on Nicollet! Jaide Salon is the best salon I've been to yet and is certainly a gem! Thanks for an excellent experience! read more

I have had Michele doing my hair for 10 or more years and there is a good reason for it. Michele is a master at what she does with both cuts and color. Initially she took the time to get to know me and my preferences and continually takes that into consideration when I am in her chair. I have never had a haircut that I have not been happy with - ever. As a matter of fact, the first time I went to her was to "fix" a bad haircut from a stylist at a different salon and I have never had anyone touch my hair since. I also have my hair foiled by her every 2-3 months and love the natural look she achieves with her color knowledge and techniques. As the owner, Michele has done a great thing with Jaide Salon. The atmosphere is inviting, peaceful and beautiful, she uses the best products and has brought in wonderfully talented people to work for her. Heidi at Jaide does my brows and also helps me with my highly sensitive skin issues. She is also a master at what she does. She is highly skilled and knows what is best for each individual. Tell everybody! Jaide Salon is the best kept secret in Minneapolis! read more

I went in for a haircut with Christina. I was a bit nervous because I am not used to going to a new place/person, I had been going to the same person in cleveland for the last 7 years. That being said, I love my haircut!! Not to mention it was very reasonably priced. She listened to what I wanted, gave suggestions and it turned out great. She even flat ironed my hair, so I wont have to do anything with my hair for the next couple days. I loved the products she used , and they were reasonably priced compared to other salons, so you can actually buy the products used during the appointment, without spending an arm and an leg. The Salon is very cute, friendly, quiet....I like the feel a lot more than the big salons. You can also book your appointments online which is super convenient, you can easily find a time that works best, and see who has availability. I have a facial and eyebrow wax scheduled tomorrow that I am looking forward to! This was a very lucky find and I highly recommend the salon!!! read more

After years of leaving various salons looking like a dog instead of a stylish woman, I finally found Jaide Salon. Michele gave me the hair cut and color of my life, and I left her salon and did a little shopping looking like a million bucks. (I've NEVER gone out in public after a visit to a salon!) My husband, the strong, silent type, has never once told me my hair looked great after a cut/color. This time? Yes. I just about died. In fact, I thought I HAD died and gone to hair heaven. Two weeks later, I'm still thrilled. The salon itself has a quaint, old world feel to it. Full of unique art pieces from local artisans, it gives you the satisfying pleasure of believing you've found a little treasure, just for you, in a very special, quiet corner of Minneapolis. Looking for happiness? There's some over at Jaide Salon. Go there. read more

Stylist Abbey Kessler is as good as they come. I love how she cuts and colors my hair. I have thick, curly hair and I am always worried that it is going to frizz up into a catastrophic mess. Abbey cuts and shapes it just right and advises me on products to use so that I feel confident about my appearance. She has a gentle, caring way and is a great listener. I always feel that I look great when I leave Let's face it; you bring your head everywhere you go so it had better look good! I have been a customer of Abbey Kessler's for years and I highly recommend her and Jaide Salon. It is a beautiful salon that uses organic products. And they always have some free sweets around; last time I was there it was decadent chocolate truffles. You won't be disappointed. Call Abbey! read more

Jaide Salon has it all. Michelle Nadeau the owner and principle stylist and colorist is a true professional with more skills than this small space can handle. I've been coming to her since she was a "pup" at Aveda in downtown Minneapolis where she was not only an accomplished stylist and colorist but also a trainer of the younger stylists. She continues to train her stylists to become as skilled as she is. Heidi, the esthetician at Jaide, is professional with very effective and rejuvenating services and a delight tp be around. She makes you feel that whatever esthetic issue you're facing she can help with--and she does. When you leave Jaide after a hair, skin or nails service you know you're sexier, younger, prettier and cooler than when you went in. read more

Best. Salon. Ever. I get my hair done by Michelle and my eyebrows done by Heidi. I love going everytime and refer anyone I can to check them out. Michelle's services are a little more expensive than I was used to, but I definitely appreciate the attention to detail and level of expertise it takes to make my thin hair look beautiful! They work with Simply Organic color and products which is a huge plus for me. If you have not experienced this product line, you are missing out. Heidi is a total pleasure to be around. I have dark eyebrows and light hair so the shape is very important to me. After 15+ years of eyebrow waxes, I have found my favorite! read more

I went in for a perm. Corianne and Maureen talked me out of it. I was sad, cause I thought it was what I wanted and I was frustrated with my hair. But they didn't let me walk out the door. Maureen proceeded to give me the best haircut EVER! She did what I always wished someone would do and cut my hair to highlight my face. She gave me great and simple advice on how to style it myself. It was an amazing experience and I walked out very happy. It takes a lot of guts to tell a client no. And it's even better when they have the skill and the talent to give you what you really want when you didn't even know you wanted it. read more

Abbey Kessler at Jaide gives beautiful haircuts and she is particularly good at suggesting styling options. I first went two years ago on the suggestion of two friends who loved her cuts and color expertise. Now I have started getting copper highlights, which I love. There are no harsh chemical smells because the color is amonia-free. The Jaide salon has a relaxing atmosphere and Abbey just knows if I am in the mood to talk or be quiet. Of course, the highlight of the experience is the lovely scalp massage she gives when shampooing your hair! read more

It's the age-old story: search high and low for a hair style that not only is stylish, but also fits my personality and face. When people start commenting on how beautiful you are...even on a "bad" hair day, you know you've found the right place! That's Jaide Salon for me!! And has been for the past ... hmmm, is it going on three years now? They listen to what I want, are keen in observing my personality and flair, then give me as much advice as I can handle. I feel beautiful, feminine, and stylish. Thanks, Michele! read more

I went there within a few months of it opening and I've never gone to another salon since. Maureen does my hair and I go for facials to Heidi, though now Venessa has joined the group and I've just booked an appointment with her. It has a beautiful atmosphere, all of the folks are friendly, the products they use are wonderful and it has a beautiful selection of magazines and creatively done crafts (mostly by the owner Michelle and other folks who work there). I absolutely love going there. read more

I had the good fortune of finding Abbey Kessler, when I suffered a bad haircut from another salon and needed a fix before leaving the country on vacation. Abbey took the time to TALK about my hair, ASK what I was looking for, and really LISTEN to me. Then she began her magic. I liken her to an artist with a pair of shears! She is also a great colorist and I love that Jaide uses organic products that smell heavenly! I highly recommend Abbey -- you will not be disappointed! read more

I love this place! They offer tons of organic products and the stylists are so knowledgeable. I saw Corianne and loved the cut she gave me. She gave me some good tips on how to style my hair and really made sure I was happy with the results! They treat you so well there. She really pampered me and made me feel extremely comfortable. I will only go back to Corianne and can hardly wait until I need another cut:) Thanks Corianne:) read more

I have been going to Jaide Salon for four years--I trust Michelle with creating a beautiful color and style and being honest about what will look good. I like to be able to say to my stylist, "Do what you think is best," and I can do that without hesitation! Heidi-amazing! Stress relieving facials, beatiful eyebrows and extra attention to what I really need. Excellent customer service and just a genuinely nice person! read more

My 12 year old son and I started having Abbey Kessler cut our hair about 3 years ago when she worked at another salon, and we followed her to Jaide. We love her! She has a great sense of style and my son actually enjoys getting his hair cut now. She's had great suggestions for both of us and we are happy to have her close by. Jaide is a sweet little salon and they use all organic products, which I appreciate. read more

I get a cut and color/highlights from Abbey at Jaide Salon, and I can't say enough how great she is! I get compliments ALL the time on my hair color (they think it is my real color), and I always leave happy with my hair style. The salon is pleasant, sunny, and there is good parking in the surrounding area. Overall a very pleasant experience. Best of all is the use of natural and nontoxic products, love that. read more

Jaide is a treasure in the Tangletown neighborhood. A small group of highly trained stylists in a refreshingly relaxing atmosphere...no too-trendy attitudes, pulsing music, etc. but great natural products and services. I see Michele, the owner, because she can actually cut long hair - I've always had problems at some of the McSalons with stylists needing to give me a "mom bob" or a "rachel"...no thanks. read more

Love Jaide Salon! it's a friendly place to go... set apart from most salons, its quaint and has a very relaxing atmosphere. FYI: thanks to Michelle's wisdom, she suggested to try the Organic hair color line knowing that i have used Aveda hair products for many years and it made my scalp itch terribly. I trusted Michelle and tried the Organic Color line... and loved it, no itching!!! read more

I have been a very satisfied client of Jaide for 3 years. Michele is truly an artist of color. What a genius! Also a very lovely, and warm person. I have been having my eyebrows waxed for 40 years. Heidi is at the top of the list in service. The end result is a beautiful, natural brow. Both Michele and Heidi go out of their way to provide excellent and professional service. Barb S. read more
