My daughter found Peter Gilliam based on reviews and got a perm and highlights from him and was really impressed. Right now she is in Chile and was voted best hair among the 20 exchange students doing a semester abroad. So I went to see him as well. I was driving in my car and had a hair freak out, as in, I need new hair TODAY. I called and being that it was mid-day, I was able to get in with Peter in about 20 minutes. I have super fine hair and usually get a perm for texture/body, etc. I got two perms at Juut, which exclusively uses Aveda perm products. I was told by a couple of stylists that I should NEVER get a perm using Aveda products because they are too harsh. I really liked my stylists at Juut, but I cannot afford to lose clumps of hair, so I had no choice but to look elsewhere. I believe Peter used to work at an Aveda salon and if you were a former customer, you should look him up here. He used a very gentle, newer formula solution--the same one he used on my daughter and I'm telling you this is the best perm I have ever gotten and I've been getting perms most years since 1978. No hair loss, which is a first. And, now it is about 2 months later and the curl is still there! He also gave me some really nice highlights that people liked as well. A friend of mine who did hair at an upper end salon in Palo Alto, CA, also said he did a really good job and that I should definitely write a review. So, in summary, I would totally recommend Peter Gilliam for perms, highlights and I will now find out how he will do with a cut and root perm. I have a great feeling about going back, which I didn't have with Juut. The price is a bit less than Juut, but not significantly. I've learned with hair that you get what you pay for, just like everything else--totally worth it! read more

I was looking for a new salon and saw a Groupon to see Patrick for a cut and conditioning hair treatment, perfect! When I walked in I was greeted right away and Patrick took me to his chair for a consultation before we started anything. After discussing the problems I was having with my hair, hence the need to find a new salon, I decided to have him color my hair as well. He was so professional and knowledgeable not to mention a pleasure to chat with, I had no problem trusting him with my hair even though this was my very first visit. Patrick is an absolute Genius! The owner of the salon even came over to introduce himself and ask how I was doing. My expectations were to go in for a simple cut and deep conditioning treatment, but when I left I felt like a new woman with an AWESOME new cut and Amazing color. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a salon with talented, professional and fun staff!! read more

I'm a woman in my mid 40s that has been to Urban Retreat fir years then to Spalon in Woodbury to other salons around the twin cities. I was frustrated with the wrong cut , color ,service , and needed a change. Peter was highly to me so I sent him a message , and asked him.to please help me. Now remember before I seen Peter I had had my hair cut , and colored 2 times with nothing but disaster. I walked into New Art positive that I found the right artist to help me find beauty again. I walked back to Peter station with confidence. I sat down we talked he looked at what he needed to do , and said lets get started. After an hour and half I felt beautiful again!!! I have had so many compliments on my hair that it makes me smile. Thank you Peter for bringing the smile back to my face. read more

I am ~10%-20% gray with dark natural hair and wanted to do something fun with it. I googled hair salons that can dye hair purple and chose this salon because of the great reviews. Peter was very professional and very skilled. I got what I wanted and more. I have never had my hair dyed professionally before and Peter was very good at explaining the different types of dyes and what kind of results to expect. I believe that a haircut is a work of art by the stylist. When I said that I wanted an inverted bob and that how it looked was up to Peter, I believe I got one of my best haircuts. Afterwards, the grays were purple and accented my dark hair nicely. Peter even took pictures of my hair. So maybe you will get to see the results soon. I will definately come back. read more

I'm a pretty picky person, and researched on a hair salon that could give me the hair cut that I wanted. Thus far, I haven't found a hair dresser who could work with super thick hair and still make it look great. I read great reviews on The New Art Salon and more specifically on Peter G. So I went in expecting to get another average hair cut. To my surprise, Peter gave me advice about my hair type and options to choose from that would have an overall great look. My hair cutting experience was amazing! I waited to write this review because I wanted other people's opinions first. I received many compliments and was asked who and where I got my hair cut. Overall, my experience was superb! Thanks, Peter for being so passionate and great at what you do. Sincerely, Foua read more

I have been to all of the main places in twin cities to try a cut before I found Roger at New Art in st paul. Roger is so talented and gets me looking professional and stylish every time. The salon is clean, hip, and professional and Roger is the best for advice on where to go in the twin cities, Roger and his staff really are the best, I have tried all the other top salons in Minneapolis and none compare to the quality and style of cut you get with Roger and his staff at New Art. Trust me and go in and see for yourself, Roger is extremely talented with the scissors and will blow you away with how much you like your look, will never go anywhere else as long as Roger and his staff are here in twin cities. read more

I felt very safe and comfortable from the minute I walked in till I left my appointment with Amanda at New Art Salon. The staff followed very safe procedures- use of masks, cleaning and sanitizing constantly. The entire staff was friendly, talkative, and very professional. Amanda was experienced, friendly and found a great deal to save me money on my color and foil. She even threw in an extra hair treatment free of charge! Everyone who came in during the few hours I was there, left looking great. I'll definitely be back and would recommend New Art Salon for anyone looking for a professional experienced stylist, with great prices and a laid back atmosphere- even during these crazy times. read more

What an incredible salon! I have never had a better haircut! My boyfriend initially found New Art Salon, and after the wonderful haircut he got I went in to check it out for myself. The people who work here are very good people and highly skilled at what they do! The environment is very welcoming and the service is amazing! Peter took his time and truly listened to what I wanted. I have very high expectations when it comes to my hair, and I left New Art Salon looking better than I could have imagined! I will definitely be going back! This is the best salon that I have been to in Saint Paul, hands down. I can't believe such an amazing place exists! I can't wait until my next cut! read more

New Art Salon in St. Paul has great customer service and a polite, friendly atmosphere! I now look forward to getting my haircut and feel like I have my own personal hair stylist to call on when needed. I recommend you go to see Peter Gilliam, a master designer stylist who really takes time while cutting your hair to achieve the look you desire. Prices are very reasonable for the level of service and experienced stylist you get with Peter. He will not disappoint, give him a try if you're looking for a new stylist who can give you a modern day makeover or just a simple trim above the ears, hard to find a better value anywhere. Thanks for all the great cuts Peter! read more

I've been going to New Art Salon for about half a year. I've had bad experiences going to places like Great Clips and I really wanted to find a place that cut hair well for a good price and New Art was just that. I've been having Peter cut my hair and he does an excellent job. He's super nice and he really does a nice job communicating with me to get just what I want. Unlike other places they wouldn't ever talk and they would start to cut something that I didn't want cut and it would be too late. I would highly recommend going here. I would also highly recommend getting Peter. He's done a great job on everyone of my haircuts and charges a very reasonable price. read more

I found this stylist (Peter Gilliam) completely by chance. I went to a different Salon for a fundraiser for Breast Cancer and he was helping out the event. He cut my hair and I really liked the cut and asked for his card. I have now been going to this salon for a year and have had several people compliment on my hair. Peter is really an artist and has the ability to shape my hair to compliment my features. It is refreshing to have a stylist who really looks at you and knows what looks good on you, rather than someone asking you how much you want cut off. I have been very impressed with New Art Salon and Peter. A great haircut makes such a difference. read more

I get a cut about every 5 weeks and it seems like I check out a new salon every time. My latest cut was at New Art on Snelling - my stylist was Mandi. First, she's the nicest person you want to meet. Second, she understands hair. My hair is stick straight, I have cowlicks -you name it, I've got it. The nice thing about Mandi is that she gave me tips on how to tame my noisome hair problems. But, most of all, she gave me an attractive cut that I can keep up. You should really check out Mandi's magic if you want to walk out of a salon feeling great. Did I also mention, the cost of a cut is reasonable. read more

Go see MANDY at New Art Salon! I had not been to the salon before. First time into New Art Salon. Mandy did color for me.....both highlights and low lights.....to change the look of my over processed head of straw coloured blonde + warm-toned highlighted hair. She changed it up by adding some nice cool-toned low lights and some bright blonde highlights. My hair looks great. The price was good, too. The salon is very pretty (grey, red, black tones). Good place. Go to New Art Salon. See Mandy. She will send you out of the salon looking great! read more

I went to see Peter for the first time last month after I got a bad base break job from a different salon. He is hands down the most talented blonde colorist I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. He fixed the dull tone the other salon had put in my hair and did a beautiful foil job to bring back my bright, warm blonde. And on top of saving my color he did a fantastic dry cut bringing some much needed layers to my long hair. Recommend for: long hair, blonde coloring, precise hair cut technique, blowout read more

I just got a haircut and color with Peter, and I love it. I came in with long hair and asked him to cut it short. After asking me my reasons why I wanted to go shorter he talked me out if it and I am so glad he did. I think I would have regretted going so short. Now my hair is the perfect length and I am so pleased with the cut. The color looks great too. I would definitely recommend this place. You can tell Peter is very experienced and has great judgement on what styles work! read more

I've been going to Peter for a while now and have recommended him to many of my friends and family. He is a great resource for ideas and advice about what would look good in terms of cut and color and he's always correct! I used to have my hair done with cheaper colors that ravaged my hair but the highlights at New Art don't ruin my hair at all. I'm happy I finally found a salon that I can trust and am able to recommend to my friends. Keep it up New Art :) read more

New Art Salon is a nice comfortable atmosphere. All the people there are personable and professional. I've been to see Jeff Halverson four times. Each time he's done an amazing job. There's nothing he can't do with hair and I was especially grateful when he was able to fit me in at the last second before my brother's wedding. When I saw the pictures from the wedding I was incredibly grateful that Jeff is my hair stylist. I HIGHLY recommend him. read more

I had been going to the same place for years until I decided to try something new and try New Art Salon and I'm really glad I did! Peter was great and made sure I walked out happy, even if this wasn't what I originally what I had in mind. He knew how to work with my hair and it looks great, even though I was a walk in. I will for sure be coming back to see him and I would highly recommend that everyone else does the same! read more

I've been going to some of the "upscale" salons in the Edina area for 20 years and decided to try something new this week at New Art Salon with a new stylist (Peter). Needed a change! I left with the best cut and color I have had in as many years. Peter took his time.... asked questions, but also wasn't shy about sharing with me what HE thought would look best. And, he was right! Loving my hair Peter! Thanks! read more
