I'm a return customer, earlier this year I just needed a trim so desperately I was going to trim myself... went to another salon. Not so great. Paula, you made my hair dream come true. You are so amazing! Facility is amazing! I don't ever want to go anywhere else ever! I'm out in the cold and still flipping my beautiful hair thanks to The Chair! I feel like a rockstar!!!!!!!! Seriously read more

My haircut was amazing! It was done by Danielle. She was very chilled out and understood my vision perfectly. It was $60 for a woman's haircut, but only $10 for bang trims! That's an amazing price if you ask me. The staff are all very friendly too, the receptionist asked me if I wanted tea or water. They also didn't try to push products at me, which was amazing. But the products they did have in there were high quality! I could tell this was a professional salon. Thankful I found this spot! read more

My daughter got her hair done with Jackie and we couldn't be happier! She took excellent care of her natural curly hair and transformed it into a stunning navy blue color. Jackie was friendly, courteous, and professional throughout the entire process. Her experience with curly hair and coloring truly shows--it's clearly her specialty. Highly recommend! read more

I am incredibly disappointed in the service my daughter received from the Chair Salon. Due to unforeseen circumstances, she arrived a bit late - 10 minutes max - and I called the salon in advance to warn them, and The Chair was understanding over the phone. Upon my daughter coming home, she remarked that her stylist seemed stressed by her lateness, which I understand, but it is absolutely no excuse for the laughably uneven haircut she received. Attached are photos demonstrating the near-INCH of difference between two cuts of hair. Not to mention my daughter paid $60 +tip. I am beyond disappointed in the quality of this haircut and for the lack of professionalism; if being 10 minutes late warrants the quality of this haircut, I really encourage you to just turn your customers away. That would be so much more forgivable than whatever ensued out of spite, frustration, or lack of care. read more

I have been looking for a new salon and I have finally found it!!! I needed a color correction and Yelp had great reviews and I now know why. I started with Hannah for a color consultation and she took the time to find the best option for me, Michele did the color and I could not be happier! She was fun, personable and gave me exactly what I wanted. Thank you thank you thank you !!! And anyplace that gives you wine while you have your hair done is a winner in my book!! read more

Dang it, I cannot remember the name of lady that did my hair, but she was awesome! I just came in for a hair detox service and also a trim. I wanted as little hair cut off as possible and she did an awesome job. My hair also just needed a cleanse and detox and I left the salon feeling great and my hair felt renewed. Would definitely recommend. read more

Nice staff, good Covid protections. Just a few things to be aware of: -They don't take anything other than hair cut bookings online. You must call if you want color. -Parking sucks so come early to find a spot -They don't do blow drying at the salons right now (thanks, Covid) read more

The Chair was my favored salon for several years before I left the state and spent several years living down south. I had always expected to return when my husband and I re-re-located back to the cities. The salon space itself is always pleasant, welcoming, and hip without being at all overbearing or intimidating. I was way over-due for a cut in March 2020 when everything shut down, so by July I was beginning to wonder if I'd ever get my hair cut again and had begun watching some questionable YouTube tutorials. If I could cut my husband's hair why not give it a try on my own, right? So glad I didn't resort to that. Instead, The Chair Salon's open and responsible communication about their CoVid 19 policies (including careful pre-scheduling, temp checks at the door, limiting shampoo and hair drying) made me feel like I could afford to make a trip in and get my hair taken care of, even though I was VERY pregnant. All these measures being so thoughtfully developed, executed and communicated on top of an amazing haircut from Hannah made the experience actually quite relaxing. Huge, huge thanks and kudos to The Chair's ability to adapt and continue to provide great and safe service. I was already a fan, but I cannot express how grateful I felt to be able to get a safe haircut this summer. You guys rock. read more

I've been going to the Chair salon ever since I moved to the neighborhood a couple years ago and read the Yelp reviews, and I haven't been disappointed yet! Its an Aveda salon and all the stylists I've seen have been excellent. Kate is now my go-to stylist. She'is hilarious and the conversation flows so easily its like she's known you forever. She does a great job with both cuts and color, and she keeps notes so that she remembers the color for the next appointment. Overall, I highly recommend the Chair and especially Kate! read more

I *love* this salon so much that this is my first review on yelp! I kept passing the salon on my way to the gym and the inside looked so cozy and cute from the outside. I decided to check it out and am so glad I did! As others have mentioned, the decor is very cozy and the definition of shabby-chic....plus it smells like Aveda so you can't go wrong there. The front desk staff is so friendly and always makes me feel welcome. They also offer wine or beer in addition to the usual coffee or tea and have all the best magazines :) My stylist is Joey and he is awesome! He gave me the prettiest, most natural-looking highlights I've ever had. He is newer to the salon so his rates are also really reasonable. I highly recommend him and this salon in general. read more

Terese is awesome, energetic, fun and very professional stylist who took care of my thick straight with a little hint of partiality curly medium long hair. She makes you feel really good. I also love the decor of interior, mixed with chic rusty looking furniture and light fixture. If anyone new to the neighborhood, in and out of Minneapolis, I highly recommend this salon. Please try booking by phone or online to experience a true good feeling. read more

My hair is uneven, it has been 4 months now since I had a cut. You see I don't normally get a haircut, I would wait for almost six months to a year to get one. But it is not good for your hair to grow without a cut and care. Maybe I want to become a hipster but shh...that's my secret. So, I was having a stressful day on a Thursday, I called and made an appointment on the same day. I was surprised they had one open. I got lucky! I showed up five minutes early and the girl offered me beverage like wine, water, juice, tea or etc...first thing I wanted was wine, yep I asked for white wine cause I know red wine would make me sleepy. I go upstairs to meet my stylist, Jesse. We greeted. She was sweet and offered me to sit down in the most comfortable CHAIR ever. I was relaxed. She told me that they give complimentary massages, like on the head and shoulder parts. The minute she massaged my stressful head, I became more relaxed. Oh boy the wine and massages was kicking in...I almost fell asleep. Anyways, I didn't want to be the quiet customer so I told her the last time I got a (cheap) massage was in Cambodia. The minute I say Cambodia, she was surprised or almost happy to hear that...Then she started to tell me about her friend who goes to Cambodia every year to give massages to orphanage kids. She had mentioned that she was supposed to go to Cambodia with her friend and she taught herself a few Khmer words before the trip. I was very impressed because not many people like to learn or educate themselves before they go to different countries. Good job, Jesse! Aside from the conversations, Jesse cut my hair nicely. I asked for layers and I got it. My dull hair is finally getting some personalities. She curled my hair, too. She took her time to make sure it look good. I was a happy girl. This place makes you feel like HOME, I mean it is inside a house. Cozy and relax. The main level is where you check in and second level is where they shampooed, conditioned and cut your hair. The staff is welcoming and friendly. For new customers, you get freebies. The only thing I haven't checked out is their bathroom but I am sure it is clean. Well,I can't wait to be back!

The Chair Salon - Freebies inside - Hair Salons Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

My very first experience at The Chair was with newcomer Michele. She was so gracious and talkative and sweet and was hypervigilant about giving me a style that I really liked and that fit my habits and personality. I told her I was probably one of the few customers she'd ever have who isn't fanatical about my hair and doesn't care if it's not cut perfectly. Because, you know... hair grows back. So I gave her an amount to cut off in inches and left the rest up to Michele. She gave me a great style based on the fact that I rarely do much, if anything, to my hair aside from blowing it dry. I walked into the Chair with literally no expectations other than leaving it with shorter hair. But I walked out with one of the Top 5 short haircuts of my life. I'm writing this with mixed emotions. It behooves me to recommend Michele as a stylist to anyone else because I don't want other people to have her. read more

Check out the new space - much larger than the old one. The décor is cozy and warm. The vibe is inviting and the staff are super friendly. There are more hair stations and hair stylists now, as well as Sunday hours. Love the new location and look!! Can't recommend the salon highly enough. read more

Love this salon! I just found it and Patty cut my hair exactly the way I wanted it. Priced right and cute space. People are very friendly. Aveda products. Im so glad I found it. read more

For the past three years, The Chair has been my haunt for haute hair help and happiness haven. It's a place where I get to relax, sip on some much needed wine or tea, and let Hannah, stylist extraordinaire, shape my mane into something praiseworthy. The Chair is a two-story salon that is decked out in a mixture of great vintage and rustic décor (I always walk away with design ideas). The owners and staff are incredibly friendly, accommodating, and professional. Hannah has been my go-to-gal for all of my styling needs. I've had variations of the same haircut for some time now, but I ALWAYS get compliments on the job Hannah does. She's also colored my hair a couple times and did a great job at making the color look natural. I have multiple friends who see various stylists at The Chair for their cutting, coloring, and waxing needs, and all of them sing their praises. read more

Being new to Minneapolis, I was on the hunt for a new hair salon, and I was lucky enough to happen upon The Chair. Located just a few blocks off Lake St, the salon has a quieter, laid-back, cozy atmosphere-- more comfy living room than super modern salon, but with all the amenities of one. After a stressful day at work, I arrived for my first appointment and was greeted at the front desk by Todd, who offered me a much-needed glass of wine. My appointment was with Kate, who was so welcoming, personable, and friendly, and gave me an awesome cut. She listened to what I was looking for but then also used her expertise to make it even better! I will definitely be going back. Ample parking; you can book appointments online. read more

I've been going here consistently for the last year and I definitely think I'll keep coming back. Bridgette always does a great job and genuinely cares about your life instead of working in silence or giving that standard meaningless small talk. Only downside I'd say is the price. 50$ does feel a little steep for a men's cut but the quality and free neck trims in between make it well worth it. read more

Everything I could ever want from a salon. Adorable new location. Brow waxes are only $15. Aveda products. You can make reservations online. Takes Discover. Easy parking. 'Nuff said. read more

Wonderful salon!! I was greeted by a wonderful host, offered wine, and a comfy chair to sit in while I waited for my stylist. They have a wonderful seating area upstairs as well. My stylist was wonderful and took her time, and didn't rush through my appointment. The stations were spread out throughout the 'house' and not scrunched together with zero privacy, like many salons are. The chairs for shampooing are leaned all the way back (you are pretty much lying down) which I have never seen before! It made for a very comfortable wash. She styled my hair afterwards because she didn't have any other appointments that day. I left feeling pampered, if not a bit tipsy. What else could you ask for?? read more

I got a cut from Ana and she did a fabulous job. I keep a really low-maintenance hairstyle, which a lot of stylists try to talk me out of, but she understood. And, she didn't take off more hair than I wanted! She was also friendly and fun to talk to-- without talking my ear off. The receptionist was super nice as well, and the manager gave me a new customer discount. As an added bonus, the salon is super cozy and homey. read more

I couldn't be happier with both the cut I received from Hannah and the overall experience at The Chair. I was offered a beverage when I arrived in a glass, not a disposable cup like most salons, and brought upstairs to wait in a comfortable chair with tons of magazines. I waited less than two minutes before Hannah came to do her work. I received $$$ service for a salon that only charged $30. Super excited to have this be my new go-to place for hair! read more

Love this place! I highly recommend Michele and she was fantastic! Super kind and professional, she did my hair super well too. It was also a nice fast appointment considering I had like 5 inches cut off and layers put it. I had no trouble styling my hair to look great the next day, either :) I'm looking forward to being a regular! read more

I'm a new client and am very happy with services from Hannah. She was recommended to me by a coworker who always has great hair. The cut was great and I went back for color. It was my first time for color and I'm very happy. I would absolutely recommend her, and this salon. Tha k you! read more

Awesome salon! I chose this place on a whim just wanting try out a different salon than where I usually go, and I was not disappointed. First off the decor of the place is adorable, I believe the owner did the interior design. I think I ought to have him design my place! The staff are all very friendly and open, no snobbish personalities that you sometimes run across in salons. I have long,blonde hair, and I went in for a touch-up trim. My stylist was Joey and he is just amazing! A very down-to-earth guy who knows what he is doing. If you're like me and you're cruising the web trying to find a place that you trust with your hair, please give this place a go~ read more

First time having gone to this salon and will not being going back. I went there after reading a handful of good reviews. I had someone who had been there maybe 3 weeks and was at other salons prior to, so I had good expectations. I showed her a picture of what I wanted but that's not at all what I got. I have really fine thin hair and wanted a short hair cut that made it look like it has more volume. In other words, I wanted a bunch of layers and was willing to go pretty short. (My hair was jaw length going in there) I left there with and undercut with long layers over top. It didn't make any sense to me and gave me everything I didn't want. I also left with "U" shape side bangs....? I ended up going to a different shop that fixed it and the stylist was also very confused. read more

Horrible. Horrible. Horrible. Kate acted like I was a nuisance. Kept looking at the clock. And all I wanted was bangs. She cut them way too short and how she wanted them. She didn't listen to a thing I said. :( I was invited back and my bangs turned out perfectly with a new stylist. It was so nice of The Chair. read more

I went into the salon stressed out from the day's activities. As I walked in, I was greeted and offered an array of beverages including tea, wine (both red and white), and beer. The ambiance was relaxed and the decor was rustic. My stress started to ebb away as I spoke with Paula, who took very good care of me. She gave me an amazing scalp massage as I sipped on some red wine. When I got my hair shampooed and conditioned, I got to lay flat down instead of at an awkward angle that would normally irritate my neck after awhile. She cut my hair with care, precision, and art. After blow drying, she also used the curling brush and styled it. I left the salon relaxed, stress-free, and with a bounce in my step that only comes with the feeling of a good hair cut. read more

I love going to Kate, I drive all the way from Ramsey to get my hair cut. I've tried MANY other salons but Kate just has a superior cut that can't be beat. I've been going to her for 4 years, LOVE going there. read more

First time customer and I will be back! Killer decor that makes for a fun atmosphere. Everyone was very friendly and professional. Joey did an amazing job on my hair. I have curly hair and he knew exactly what he was doing, I was so relieved. I love my cut and have received many compliments, can't wait to return! read more

I had the pleasure of having the Chair Salon recommended to me by a fabulous server at Tilia. I asked her where she had her hair done, as I had to deal with my massive amount of grey hair. I recently moved to Minneapolis, from NYC, so I didnt have my usual stylists to run to for comfort. I took advantage of their new customer coupon, which is an offer of 50% off of the services by Ana or Joey. I went with Joey and am so glad I did. He is a very talented young man. I am latin, so my thick wavy curly hair had been relaxed most of my life, when I moved to MN, I decided to cut it all off. So I needed a sassy fabulous color to make up for my lack of hair :) He gave me an all over color with some gorgeous highlights/foils on my crown. I bought their smooth style infusion hair products from Aveda, and my curls are pin straight and fabulous! Salon is beautifully appointed, loved sitting on the little bench, while my best friend got the best male haircut of his entire adult life. Run, dont walk to Joey at the Chair Salon! read more

I love Kate! Followed her from another salon here. It's such a great cozy and stylish little spot and everyone is so friendly and laid back. Ideal location too. Its right off the beaten path of uptown so parking is easy. am a transplant from San Francisco and it took me awhile to find someone really solid that could do precision cuts and good color. Kate is it for me. read more

I was blown away by Heidi's technical skills. She solved a lot of my hair problems in ways no other stylist has ever done. I'm still getting used to the style, but she seriously knows her away around scissors, a razor, and a comb as my hair is way less thick and much more bouncy. She's given two of my friends equally great haircuts. Pretty great! read more

I am very happy with my cut from Kate! My hair was a mess and neglected and she made sense of it all! My fiance has been going to Kate for years and I am so happy that he suggested that I see her. Kate has a great sense of humor and style. I look forward to my next appointment with her. I had a great time! read more
