Shelly Olson did my hair for my wedding in October of 2013. She also, along with a co-worker whose…read morename I have unfortunately forgotten, did my bridal party's hair. The thing I can say that will probably sum up this review best is that I wish I lived in Minneapolis so I could have her as my regular stylist! We had a hair trial four days before the wedding (during which she even fixed my bangs!) that really set the tone for how the wedding morning would go. I brought in some pictures, which she followed, and made suggestions on. She was personable and easy to talk with, and the most important thing is that my hair looked AWESOME on my wedding day! I must also note that Shelly came to the hotel my wedding was held at to do hair in the morning; without charging too much extra. I really appreciated that we could do all our getting ready in one place! Her price is extremely reasonable for wedding hair. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding stylist in the Twin Cities.

First problem, Sara set my appointment for 3pm but forgot what time she'd told me to come in;…read morethought she'd said 2pm. Text message was clear. 3pm. Second problem, Sara was in a hurry and it showed. She'd made plans to go to the state fair and that was where her focus was. I had really long hair when I walked into that salon, past my waist. I was ready to get some length cut off but wanted to start with cutting off maybe 6 inches. I even showed her how much. She appeared to understand. Then she proceeded to cut at approximately 12" off and because my hair has curl it's just below my shoulders when dry. I was traumatized by her cutting off so much of my hair. And what did she do to make my hair dark? It was a trim appointment not a foil. Afterwards SHE pointed out that it looked uneven in the back. Mam, YOU cut my hair. Why are you pushing me out the door with an uneven cut?? Third problem, I walked in as a blonde and left as a brunette. I have no idea what she put in my hair but my blonde is gone! I was so distraught by the dark color and how much hair she cut off but didn't want to cause a scene in front of the two people sitting in the lobby. So I smiled and made pleasant conversation while I paid my bill when in reality I wanted to scream and cry. In summary, she couldn't remember what time my appointment was, made plans causing her to rush through my appointment, didn't listen to what I asked for, paid no attention when I said my hair has natural curl, and she had no idea how to use a diffuser. I walked out of that salon and my hair looked like a rats nest. I had to go home and restyle it but that didn't change how short it was or how dark it was. In all good conscience I cannot recommend her or the salon.

I flew in from Oklahoma and have zero regrets!! Thank you Jon for making me feel like a woman again!

Jon is a very nice guy, and he'd probably be fine for a haircut. But I strongly urge you not to…read moreget extensions with him because for me it was literally the worst hair experience of my life and continues to haunt me. I guess I learned my lesson: don't get extensions, but especially don't get extensions from a man who shaves his head. Let me just list a few of the things I was/am unhappy about... 1. LOW QUALITY HAIR. The quality of the hair was bad. He told me I was getting European fine hair (the only thing that would work will with my very fine hair.) But, the hair was coarse and dry and extremely tangly, and when I went to another salon for a second opinion they told me no way was it European fine and that I had been taken advantage of. 2. DIDN'T LISTEN TO ME. Jon did not listen to my concerns. No matter what I did, the hair tangled horribly, and I told Jon this, but he made light of my concerns and could never seem to solve the problem. He gave me products that didn't help. He told me to flat iron it, but that didn't help. He "thinned it out" which just made it look thin and tangly. 3. HURT MY HEAD. The extensions often hurt. I asked if they were messing up my real hair, and he said no, but that was a LIE (see #6). 4. TOLD ME CONFLICTING THINGS AND JUST SEEMED GENERALLY CLUELESS. Jon told me conflicting things. He said I could wear my hair in a low ponytail, but then, when the extensions "looped" and matted, he said it was because I was wearing my hair in a ponytail. "So I shouldn't wear my hair in a ponytail?" I asked. "No, you can," he said. WTF? He also told me that using Moroccan oil would keep my hair from tangling, then he said it was the oil that was making it tangle. And so on. 5. ROUGH WITH MY HAIR. He was rough with my hair. He would yank and rip the extensions apart when they would get matted and dreaded (which they seemed to do immediately, no matter what I did to try to take care of them). When I got the extensions taken out he yanked and pulled and my scalp was on fire. 5. THE EXTENSIONS RUINED MY HAIR!! I kept asking Jon if the extensions were hurting my hair and he assured me no, everything was great, and wow, I was going to be amazed when the extensions came out and I saw how long my hair had gotten.... Yeah, I was amazed when the extensions came out and I saw how THIN my hair had gotten. I only wore them for 4 months and somehow I had lost half of my hair. I've always had fine hair, but now my hair is HORRIBLY THIN. I feel like I've lost about 50% of the volume of my hair. I got it cut short to try to hide this fact, but it still looks and feels TERRIBLE. It feels like candy floss or baby hair. I feel so ugly and I hope to GOD that my hair starts to grow back and go back to normal. I want to say it's all Jon's fault, but I know it's not. I should have done more research and gone somewhere else for my extensions. In fact, I just shouldn't have gotten extensions at all. I only had them in for 4 months (cost me $1200) and they were nothing but stress and frustration from day one. And now they've ruined my real hair. My suggestion for everyone is: don't get extensions at all. But if you do, O NOT go to Jon. He is not sympathetic to your problems and does not listen to you, and even though he's been doing extensions for a long time I don't think he really understands what women want when it comes to their hair. He thinks all we care about is length, but I'd much rather have short hair with body than thin candy floss hair of any length. I hate to be mean because like I said, he's a very nice guy who is dedicated to his career, but he RUINED my hair and having extensions with him was nothing but STRESS and FRUSTRATION.

The haircut: Johnathan does a wonderful job at listening and learning about your own hair eccentricities beforehand so as to give you the best haircut experience. I usually get my haircut at one of those "run of the mill" shops, you know those type of places, where you may or may not get the same hair stylist and what you think your haircut should end up looking like is not always what you always get. At The Top Shave Lounge you not only get what you expect, but the end result is one of the best haircuts you'll ever receive!! The Traditional Shave Experience: This was actually my first shave experience at a barbershop and it did not disappoint. The Traditional Shave Experience included a hot towel treatment, aromatherapy, traditional wet shave, cool towel, hydrating toner, and moisturizer. As Johnathan said, you leave feeling like a super star!!! The shop: I loved the overall decor of the Top Shave Lounge. It really felt like an old-timey barbershop, as if your living during the prohibition era. Rustic wood paneling, old photos of barber shops, an antique barber chair and yes a barber pole. The decor along with jazz playing in the background gave a nice calming experience. The Top Shave Lounge also offers a full range of products from Art of Shaving line. Next time your lady says she's going to the spa or a salon(code for "I'm going to spend a pile of money") treat yourself to this speakeasy style of a barber shop, and yes you heard me right, you may just get a sip of whiskey....The Top Shave Lounge is more then just a barbershop, it's an experience!

Before I found Allen Lin, I thought that an itchy, burning scalp was part of the normal hair…read morecoloring process. I didn't know that some stylists dilute the color before applying it so they can save money on product, and I also thought that having my rinse water turn dark brown after the first few shampoos was normal too. It's not. It depends on the product your technician uses, and Allen uses the absolute best! My coloring process is so comfortable and I have zero runoff because the color stays on my hair instead of going down the drain. I visit Allen about every six weeks (or until I can't stand my gray roots anymore), and if my hair didn't grow, I could go much longer between salon visits. Allen also cuts my waist length hair once a year. He will do exactly what you say, meaning if you ask for a one inch trim, you won't end up with a six inch chop! Allen is meticulous in his work and never rushes. He is a perfectionist in the best way. Just like his coloring products, Allen only uses top of the line shears. Yes, that makes a big difference too. My hair looks great with no split ends and no dryness. Phenomenal! Allen's prices are probably in line with other salons except his service is so much better. I don't really know what other salons charge because I won't let anyone else touch my hair. If I could bubble wrap this guy to keep him safe, I would. I don't know what I would do without him. The bottom line is that if you want a gold standard, top notch master stylist, Allen is your huckleberry. Schedule early if you want a specific day because he is always booked. The best ones always are!
