This time I called to check status on my prescription and it said it was ready for pickup and indicated it was the full amount I needed. I am presently getting ready to transfer my prescriptions to another pharmacy that is NOT Walgreens. Word to the Wise: if you continue to use Walgreens and they call you to come pick up your prescription, drop everything you're doing and get over there ASAP and pick it up before it's gone. Whatever happened to having so many "days" to pick up yourk prescription???

It's a cute little shop in a very generic strip-mall which also has an average grocery store and a questionable tanning salon. We like it though and they had cheap deals on a lot of stuff.

I have gone to this place a few times and was happy that we had our own Black Owned Beauty store in…read morethis area.Thought it strange about the service until today. First they don't acknowledge you as the guest you have to, they watch you like a hawk up and down the clustered poorly lit aisles. I just went for convenience and to think for a black owned business in a better part of the city that they'd be more welcoming and see all customers for who they are rather than thinking everyone is out to get them. Just so you know I would rather drive 20/30mins to Brooklyn Park or South Minneapolis for a better service and for sure a much better interaction where customer service is concerned. For those folks who always say buy Black thank you and no thank you when it comes to BEAUTY PARADISE @ 9066 Lyndale Ave S,Bloomington MN. I believe you and your Team need to reevaluate your approach on servicing your Community cause you definitely need Us. l don't believe those prior reviews are real.# very dissatisfied#theydontseeUs#makeitmakesense.

Well I had spoken to a lady on the phone and she had said that I could make an appointment at 9 am…read moreso then I go there and it's not even open, I waited till 10 then they had opened but the door was locked. When they had unlocked the door I said I was there for an install. I get in the chair and the person doing my hair did not talk to me the entire time, she had been talking to another staff member in the other room. When she was doing my install she didn't even measure my hairline she just cut the lace on a mannequin and then she didn't even hide the bald cap I was wearing when she glued on the wig and the wig didn't even fit around my ears because she didn't cut around my ears, I was so dissatisfied I should have just gone to the place in the mall of America like I did last time atleast they actually made it look good. Oh my gosh I almost forgot, when she asked me if I wanted the wig sewn in I asked how much that would be and she was like "she didn't tell you when you walked in?" And I replied no. So then she was on the phone and after the call she said come to the register and then I had paid 85$ for a crappy install and the wig not sewn in. I regret tipping. I had to cut the lace around my ears when I had gotten home and glue down the parts that weren't even glued down. I had also noticed that they had LEFT A 2 CLIPS IN MY HAIR. So I would not recommend this place. Just go to the one in MOA they do such a better job AND they actully talk to their customers.

I came into the shop to buy shampoo, and as soon as I had the product in my hand the salesperson came over, snatched it away and said, "I'll take that, is there anything else you need?" (Not in a nice way.) I looked at her for a second and then calmly asked her if I was allowed to browse. I guess hearing my voice snapped her back to reality as she suddenly became very effusive and cheery. She didn't even acknowledge my presence when I first walked in. You know, I really want to support local businesses, but this is one place I'll never go again. I'm sure someone else in the Twin Cities sells my shampoo. The one star rating is for the fact that they have such wonderful products...
