I have to admit that getting to this Yelp site to leave a review is a bit confusing, which made me almost give up trying to leave a review for Tease Salon! But here I am, and here goes: I have walked into Tease Salon two times now, and each time I have, I have been pleasantly surprised by the friendly atmosphere of the place. the corner location has definite curb appeal. Carol *owner and stylist* is easy to approach and very knowledgeable and honest at her trade! My first service there was a facial, which was very relaxing and rejuvenating. I also had my hair cut there recently, as a "walk-in" no appointment necessary. Scott cut my hair. I give him an E for effort. ;-) No really, he did a fantastic job, and I love my new do. It was engaging to talk to him and learn more about who he is as a stylist and human being. I will be a repeat customer for sure. Their boutique has many fun things to browse and purchase at reasonable prices. (Great gift ideas too). read more

First of all, never fire Joshua. Do whatever it takes to keep him. I had to reschedule a facial 3 times and Joshua was always extremely nice and polite on the phone, never once getting annoyed that I was calling to reschedule AGAIN. Strange though, I've never seen him in the salon but still, very pleasant. I've had a haircut and facial at Tease and both have been great. Rachel was my stylist and she actually asked me questions about my hair, why didn't I like the layers, what was I looking for, etc. Got home and Hubby said, "it looks exactly the same" which oddly enough is what I was going for so good job! The facial was great. Stephanie was so relaxing I could have napped. The table/bed with the heated blanket didn't hurt that either. Great arm massage during and she and I had a long talk about skin care and a routine but she never really pushed products on me which was really nice. This was my first facial ever so I don't know how prices compare but I thought it was a little high. Though, I was in there for an hour so it's probably standard. I like that they gave me a whole coupon book to entice me back. You've hooked me Tease! read more

I had the best appointment with Maddy in March. She had a big project with my hair and did the most amazing job. I get compliments on the color and the way she cut my hair...weeks later it has a great shape and it air dries beautifully. I'm so happy! read more

If you are looking for a salon with multiple stylists that do an amazing job, check out Tease. Tease is a very urban salon with stylists that have great ideas for styles and products while still listening to what you want. If you have really long hair and want to keep it that way, the stylists at Tease will trim exactly the length you want (and even show you the first snip to get approval). Thank you for not wanting to butch my hair!!! Also, they sell the amazing and miraculous Moroccan Oil. I am so very grateful for the introduction to such a fantastic product! Be sure to check out the website for coupons for your initial appointment and also for the boutique (super cute stuff!). Easy to get to and places to park too! read more

I recently relocated to the St Paul area and desperately need a haircut. I am what you call a complete salon snob! I get my hair cut about once a year because I do not trust anyone and will not let just anyone cut my hair.That being said, my giving a 5 rating is a testament to how great they were! I did a bit of Yelp searching and additional research before narrowing down my choice to 3 salons. After looking at their personal sites and doing a bit of snooping I decided against the other two. I called Tease around 10am on a Thursday hoping to get a same day appointment, but not expecting them to actually come through. To my surprise the receptionist (very sweet and thorough) was able to offer me two different appointments to suit my needs. The receptionist was very thorough on the phone asking what I thought I might want done, explaining who my stylist was going to be and so on. I already felt at ease about my decision. I came in to the salon, was immediately warmly greeted, checked in and offered a refreshment. I was about 10 minutes early but they still only had me wait about 5 minutes before taking me back for my appointment. (I appreciate punctuality!) My stylist was Shauna, and she was an absolute gem! She started off by having me tell her exactly what I wanted, how I wanted it to look when it was straight vs curly (as I have wavy hair but sometimes straighten it), and a few other very specific questions. She then talked me through what she was going to do based on what I had told her and offered a few very slight modifications to suit my face shape and hair. I could immediately tell she was actually listened to what I wanted, which is something only a great hair stylist does! While cutting my hair she would stop every few minutes, show me how much she had taken off, what she had done and so on to check that I was still pleased with the direction it was going. I have to say this was one of the best parts for me! In the end, I got an amazing haircut which I completely love! Talking to my best friend since childhood and she even agrees this is literally the best haircut I have ever gotten! I am considering coloring my hair, and if I end up deciding to go through with it I will absolutely go back to Tease (and specifically Shauna) to get it done. I would absolutely recommend going to Tease! The entire staff is professional, friendly, trustworthy and high quality. Not to mention the pricing was absolutely amazing! Trust me, this is coming from the ultimate salon and hair snob! read more

Clean, friendly, everyone is always helpful. I was even taken out to my car with an umbrella when it was raining.

My hair stylest of 5 years moved out-of-state and I needed to find a new stylist. I worked with Katie and could not be more pleased. The salon exprerience was friendly, comfortable and I really love how my hair looks and feels! I will definately be back. read more

I liked Tease but there were definitely some problems. First of all, there is no 20% off discount for your first time like another review said so don't factor that into your budget. Secondly, they did not offer me anything to drink like another review said, which wasn't a huge deal but if they do it for some customers they should do it for all. Also, it was in a sketchy part of town where, as I was waiting for the bus, a man with a trash bag tried to get me to buy a coat. Now for the actual haircut I got a pixie cut from Katie. I've never cut my hair that short, it was about shoulder length and mildly curly. She was lovely and although I didn't really like my hair, not knowing anything about haircutting, I thought the cut was pretty good. After going home and trying to style it for a few days I decided I didn't really like it and wanted it re-shaped. I ended up going to another salon much closer to where I live and the difference is INCREDIBLE. During the cut the new stylist pointed out all the weird things that were going on with the other cut, like the hair around my ears, the choppy bangs, and overall unevenness. I like my new shape much better and you can tell it is a much cleaner cut. There's a huge difference in quality. I loved Katie's personality and thought my Tease experience was okay. Perhaps she was unfamiliar with cutting really short hair? I think Tease is a decent salon if you need a trim or some layers but for an entirely new haircut or shape I would go somewhere with a little more experience. read more

Went to Tease for the first time ever. I thought because Tease had such a good rating and everyone raved about Tease it would be a good experience. Not even. My hair is difficult to tame to begin with and I was hoping someone there could help me. I usually have my hair thinned out because it is so obnoxiously thick, unruley. I usually have long layers, a bang trim, and flat ironed. I do not trust my hair to just anyone. I made my first appointment.When I got there, I spoke to a male hairdresser, HE HAD NO CLUE WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. REALLY? What's worse is he said he was going to charge $50.00 for the hair cut then another $25.00 just to style it! $75.00? REALLY? Goodbye. read more

Tried this place out and got a pretty good cut. I don't get a complicated cut or style, but my hairdresser did it right the first time. I LOVE the way the shampoo and conditioners smell. They smell like natural essential oils, but they're a bit strong if you're not into that sort of thing. I would definitely go back when I need a quick haircut. read more

Spent great day at Tease Salon on Weds. Kyley Wolf did amazing job with cut color and highlights! My daughters hair was amazing. The highlights were so natural and her face brightened with the change!! I highly recommend Kyley!! read more

I've been going to Ann for a few years now. She's great with texture and volume. I wish it was a little easier to get in, but it's worth it.

I usually would always get discount haircuts at random salons until someone recomended Tease to me. Maddy Linsk has cut my hair twice this year(when usually I am a once a year kinda girl) I am most likely going back to see her before the year is over. She is PHENOMENAL at what she does. I have never trusted anyone with my hair like I do with her. She is great at listening to what you want but also giving directon if you're totally lost(like I usually am). I have been recommending Maddy to all my friends and family because of how great of a job she does. read more

I have to say..... I love Carol (the owner) and Tease! The salon is a great space. It has a hip vibe without having the hip attitude. I found out the stylist I had been using for 8 months had left the salon when I called to make an appointment. John offered me her phone number (a classy move) or to schedule me with someone else. I was curious about Carol but she was scheduled out past my upcoming vacation. John then offered a Saturday appointment at 5pm; Carol would do my cut and color after her last appointment of the day. Fast forward: great cut, loved my color and with the amazing service.....One Happy, Loyal Client! read more

Went for a trim & was treated like a queen! Amber did a great job listening and I got exactly what I wanted. My head is a sweet nest of cowlicks (is that how you spell that?) so I need someone to cut around a very specific part or I end up looking like I have a bald spot. And! Wow when she washed my hair she gave me the best head massage...5 minutes o heaven. Tease Salon for the win! read more

I had my hair colored a beautiful cherry red yesterday by Maddy, an apprentice at Tease salon and I could not be happier with the results. She was very kind and professional through the whole thing - I essentially fried my hair in high school using box bleach and dye, I was a bit tentative to go through a dying process but Maddy was very reassuring and explained how everything would be done and how to keep my hair healthy. She also showed me techniques to style my hair and recommended products to keep my hair vibrant. I have been receiving so many compliments on my hair, it turned out even better than I hoped. Thank you to Maddy and Tease salon, I will absolutely be back and recommending to my friends. read more

I love getting my hair done here! Each time it's been amazing and exactly what I wanted. I always receive compliments on my hair when I leave. The customer service is amazing and the stylist listens to what you want done. Highly recommend. read more

Amazing salon! Went there for the first time on 3/12/11, and everyone was so friendly and helpful. Cannot wait to get my hair done there for my wedding :) read more

I was really afraid to have my hair cut, as usual. I have been a more Great clips or Fantastic Sams kind of person, being a student. But I became tired of my no movement, boring hair style and decided to do some review research for good places in the area. Enter Tease Salon. I saw that everyone loved Carol's cuts and that's just what I decided to do! I was very nervous but Carol made sure to have a good consult - asking me the right questions and making sure she listened to what I wanted! She accommodated my request of not washing my hair (as I had a conditioning treatment done earlier that day at another salon and couldn't wash my hair). Instead, Carol worked around it and straightened my hair and styled my hair, so much so I had the Kardashian haircut! I was pleased. Although my hair is curly, so the haircut will only surface if I straighten my hair, I still have some good movement in my curly hair everyday! The receptionist guy was also very pleasant and friendly over the phone, and the energy in the salon was great! Couple negatives I would have to mention is that: They are pricey and I am a student, so I will not be able to afford them too often. Also, the night I went in, I was the only client - I usually like a busy place... Also, their shelves and cupboards at the cutting stations, seemed to have a lot of dust. This may have been exaggerated at one glance due to the dark furniture color. Place could use a make over with a fresher look... But, I'd give this place 3.5 - 4 stars in all. read more

I went to Tease for a drastic change (from shoulder length to a pixie cut) and Alex was fantastic. She was so patient with my indecisive nature! I love my new look. And I loved the shampoo/scalp massage. And I loved the atmosphere. :-) read more

The staff of Tease Salon is worth traveling across the Twin Cities for, and I happily do as a customer of Deb at Tease for 10+ years! (I haven't lived in Saint Paul since 2003!) Deb is such a fabulous stylist and person. She's infectiously friendly and a great listener. I wholeheartedly trust her to turn my thoughts into reality. I adore everything about this salon, from the staff, to the culture, to the affordable, top quality services, to the products and fun boutique items that Carol buys and makes. Tease will cherish your patronage. I could gush for pages about how much they made me feel like a princess as I was preparing for my wedding, but the reality is they make me feel special every time I walk in for an appointment. read more

Unfortunately my wife had a very bad experience here having hair extensions put in for our wedding. I usually don't notice when she has her hair done because her usual stylist knows how to color and highlight. Tease seemed to be clueless. It was complexly the wrong color and no highlights. Then the extension started falling out within a couple days. She was so upset with the whole experience she had them removed before the wedding and got charged again for services improperly performed to begin with. At least we have a $500 hair piece we can put on the dog for ET impersonations. read more

This is a great salon, very pleasant front desk staff. I had an up-do by Maddy and it turned out fabulous. She asked the right questions to find out what I really wanted my hair to look like and she delivered! I will recommend her to anyone who needs to have a great hairstyle for a special event. read more

Very nice salon, professional staff. I go to Scott for permanent Brow and Lash color. I'd recommend Tease to anyone. Great location, easy to get to, easy parking, nice neighborhood. read more

Today was my first time visiting Tease, and it was a great experience. I got the best haircut ever from Rachel, and everyone was very welcoming. It's an inviting space and easy to get to, with plenty of parking and right on several bus lines only a few minutes from downtown Saint Paul. I will definitely be back! read more

Amber did balayage on my hair and I love it. I've done balayage several times in the past so I'm familiar with it. I've noticed that Amber was meticulous while painting my hair. She is also very pleasant. I'll be back to see you next time I'm back in MN! read more

Tease Salon I am a 59 year old man with white/gray colored hair. A while back my wife was looking at some family photos and she made the following comment," Man, that gray hair of yours is really making you look old. Why don't you ask Tracy if there is anything she can do about that." Taking her advice, I asked Tracy if she could improve the situation without doing anything too drastic. I had this great fear that coloring my hair would dramatically change my appearance and what people thought of me. Tracy tried a couple of different variations on the color and consulted with her colleagues on the technique of coloring first or cutting first but she ultimately figured it out and my hair looks fantastic. The stylists at Tease Salon are very creative, talented, and professional. I like the fact that they consult with each other in order to provide the best results for their customers. My hair looks great, I look 10 years younger, my wife is happy, and life is good. read more

HORRIBLE experience. Do not get the extensions done there, total miscommunication, total lack of asking YOU what you want. I had a consult with Shauna and Danielle did the extentions. I was told they could match the extensions to my hair, not the other way around. Which is what happened, and my hair was blotchy puple/red and didn't match the auburn extensions at all! Then the extension beads started to pop off, which made a bump on my head, looked really bad. That was the next day, and there suppose to last 6 weeks until i get them maintained and beads moved.Talked to the manager, was told he'd talk to his wife (owner) and NEVER got a call or email about it...on top of everything, it was for my wedding...so I had to quick get my hair fixed by my regular person (she doesn't do extensions, that's why I went here). It was 5 days before my wedding. The hardest part was they didn't listen to me as a customer, and never acknowledged any problems. Then charged me when I went back in to have them taken out/fixed. Do not go here if you want extensions, they do not know what their doing!!! read more

Been here several times to get my hair cut as well as mani/pedi. Very clean, relaxing and stylish little place. Would definitely recommend it! I go to Aly for my cut and she has done a great job every time. Also love their Redken products and fun accessories! read more

I love it when I can relax in the salon chair and know that my hair is in good hands. The results have been consistently stellar with Katie. She's a pro at balayage. She listens and really seems to get what I'm saying. She's awesome!!! read more

My stylist was Jenna. She has reasonable rates and gave a nice haircut, I need to go back to have a couple things touched up but she was very gracious about it and even gave me a gift certificate for money off of future services. I really like the work she did, I feel like she listened to me and was very fast. The only criticism I have is that she was pulling my hair terribly while combing it out and was really rough when doing the cut....maybe a little more finesse in that department would be good but overall I was very pleased with the cut and would recommend the salon for sure! read more

I signed up for a yelp account just so I could rate this place! I moved to the Cities about a year ago and was getting my hair cut when I went back home to avoid finding a new place. Got a haircut today from Shauna and it was GREAT!! She spent tons of time, was pleasant, and it looks great. She gave me exactly what I asked for. Very highly recommended!! read more

I've been going to tease since November. When I go there I usually have Ann do my hair... She's very professional super cute, and fun to talk to every time! Whenever I'm in there she knows exactly what to do to my hair when it comes to color/cut. read more

I am normally not the kind of person that writes reviews but just have to share my wonderful experience and hope this helps you if you are looking for new salon. First off I am very apprehensive about anyone cutting my hair or coloring it after some bad experiences thus my hair is super long and straight. After much procrastination and doing a bunch of research and reading a bunch of reviews lead me to Tease. I called to make a appointment and the receptionist was super nice and very accommodating. I did let her know I was very apprehensive about getting my hair cut and a little freaked out. She reassured me that she had the perfect stylist to set me up with. And wow she was right on Christy J is fantastic!! I showed up really nervous and a little freaked out because of past experiences. Christy J is amazing she totally understood and helped me pick out a new hair style and color for me that I love. She is a experince systlist and really knows her stuff she does a really outstanding job. I never thought my hair could look so good and walked out of there feeling so good. The price was toataly on the mark for the cut color for the quality of the work. The next day I went back to get my eyebrows done to match my beautiful hair and had anther amazing experience Christy and with Courtney. I would highly recommend this salon to anyone. Love it!! Tease on west 7th is the best!! read more

Had my hair cut & dyed by Maddy at Tease and it was really bad. I almost feel bad posting this because she was a perfectly nice person and very professional - she just didn't seem to know what she was doing? I'll start at the top. My natural color is a golden yellow blonde and I wanted to try going platinum/silver. I brought in pictures and Maddy was very optimistic about what we were going to do, as was I! She suggested we do a balayage because then it'd have that cool natural grown out look and I wouldn't have to maintain the roots as often. I'd been looking at her instagram prior to coming by and it seemed she knew what she was doing, so I trusted her judgement. What was supposed to be a 2 hour appointment turned into a 4 hour appointment - and not at all because of volume of hair, as mine is thin and barely goes past my chin. She just took forever! This resulted in me being unable to pick up my sister from work, and having to coordinate getting her a lyft /during/ my ongoing hair styling. Just getting the bleach on my hair took 2 hours. Then the toner and wash took 30 mins and the cut took another hour and a half - also ridiculous because literally all I wanted was a 1/4" trim up on what I already had. During the cut as my hair was still wet and I couldn't see any change in color she assured me that blonde/silver colors like what she'd done are hard to see when the hair's wet. I figured she knew best. Finally she gets to drying my hair and the other stylists had been coming over to say how great it looks... when it looks literally the exact same as it did before I went. Upon closer inspection at home I can see there are some small lighter areas but it is not even close to platinum blonde - not to mention silver! During the finishing touches on the cut, one of the older stylists was coming by for tips (understandable as Maddy is an apprentice) and was really rude - telling me never to get my hair cut really short because I had a really messed up hairline on my neck under my hair! Most women including myself go to salons to feel pampered and good about their self image but this was not at all my experience at Tease. Maddy & the other stylist then decided to curl my hair even though I told them I never curl it because I don't like how it looks curled. Thank god I only had to pay $35 because she was an apprentice, and I know what you're thinking, I should've expected this from an apprentice but I have NEVER had this bad of an experience at the aveda institute or at ficocello's (a nearby training salon). Apparently Maddy had graduated from aveda institute so she really should've been better than she was when I came in. read more

I just came back from 5 weeks of being a beach bum. Low water pressure for shampooing, sun, and salt really dried my hair out and I was prepared to chop it all off to get it back to health. I was able to make a next day appointment with Daniel and she saved my hair! She gave me a clarifying shampoo and a deep conditioning treatment. After a trim and a blow out my hair felt great. The shine was completely restored and I didn't have to lose hardly any length. And, the whole process was very affordable! I will come back to Tease Salon and Daniel whenever I am here in Minnesota. Thank You Daniel! Also, I was given a small sample of Moroccan Oil to keep my hair soft and shiny until my next visit. Thank You Tease Salon! read more

What a day! I had probably the worst haircut I've ever had in my life at La Petite Salon on West 7th. The color was good but the cut was awful, she didn't even turn me around to see the back. I had to tell her the sides were uneven and it all went downhill after that. I never comment on my hair while they are doing it....I pretty much can go with the flow. But as I walked out and got in the car I could see that my hair looked like it had been chewed off. I was almost in tears driving home when I passed Tease Salon, also on West 7th. I had read online some excellent reviews but decided on "Petite" because of a friend's recommendation. I asked at the counter if they took walk-ins and was told that yes, but there was no space at that time. I almost broke down...I was shaking. John asked what happened? I said, look at my hair...I just got it cut, does this look right to you? He told me to wait, he would ask Carol ( the owner) to fit me in! Carol indeed fit me in and did a fabulous job on my hair!! She is an expert stylist and could see all the wrong turns the other stylist had taken. She was soothing, competent and really took time even though she fit me in between appts. I WILL go back! I cannot say enough nice things about the salon.. Give them a try, you'll not be disappointed! Thanks again Carol for saving the day.... read more

I shy away from haircuts due to very poor experiences in the past, so it's been a few years since I went to a stylist (I just grow it long and trim it myself). But I knew it was time for a fresh start. I went to Tease based on the outstanding reviews and I have to say, it was an outstanding experience. Katie listened to what I wanted and told me exactly what she was doing each step of the way. She stopped and showed me my hair various times so I would feel comfortable. And the end product is gorgeous - thank you, Katie and Tease Salon! read more

I recently decided to go pretty short with my hair after years of wearing it long. Feeling daring, I made an appointment with Rachel (whom I followed from her former salon because she is AWESOME). Rachel is so talented! She focuses on YOU the entire time you are there and ensures that she is addressing what you want. She is patient, knowledgeable, and honest about what will and will not work for your hair. From calling to make the appointment, to leaving after the cut, my experience was amazing. I felt respected, welcomed, and important. Tease Salon's atmosphere is posh salon with a small business vibe. I love the fact that the owners answer the phones, schedule appointments, sit at the reception desk and interact with their stylists. Seeing their dedication makes me want to support them by becoming a long-time customer. I highly recommend Tease Salon and Rachel to everyone who is looking for salon services. You won't be disappointed! (P.S. I LOVE my new, short hair!!!!) read more

I want to premise this review with saying that I almost never write reviews and am pretty easy going - there isn't too much that bothers me and I'm fully aware of how a customer serice oriented job works, as I've worked in customer service myself for years. I visited TEASE Salon with a wedding party and was soooooo disappointed with the service provided. Out of 6 girls who had their hair done, 1 of them was decent. (I'm using decent rather generously). Both my sister and I went home and had to re-do our hair. For the price that TEASE charges for up-do's - they should've looked near perfect. They were absolutely awful. To give a couple of examples, the "stylist" put in a few lousy curls with a curling iron and fastened it on top of my head with about 4 bobby-pins. One of the other girls looked like she had a pointy bee-hive on top of her head and my sister's hair looked like maybe the 7 year old flower girl had done it. Completely amature. On top of the horrible service provided, the lack of professionalism among the stylists was astounding. They gestured and talked in hushed tones, laughing rudely literally right in front of us. I will never visit Tease Salon again and most definitely would NOT recommend it to anyone else. read more
