I had my first appointment with Jen, and she did an amazing job. Rarely have I ever been happy with a haircut and today I couldn't wait to get home to send pictures to my family. At other places I usually get the eye roll when I say "I don't know, do what you think would look good", with Jen she seemed happy that I gave her free reign. read more

Beth always does a fabulous job with my 2B waves. I've had two curly cuts and one express cut. The dry cut helps my hair feel refreshed and well shaped. Beth is a sweetheart and always makes me feel welcomed and accommodated. Thanks Beth! read more

While the service was ok, buyer beware regarding unexpected drastic changes in pricing. I had my hair cut and a partial curl lite treatment the end of November which was pricy at $190 without tip. I called 2.5 months later to schedule the same cut and color with the same person and when she went to ring me up it came to $260 without tip! I called the MPLS salon the next day to talk to the manager to see if there was perhaps a mistake. The manager was not available and the person answering the phone said the price I was charged was correct but said I should have been told of the price increase when I scheduled (I was not!!). She said she would have the manager call me right back to make it right. That was 3 weeks ago. No call. Lost my business and I have been going there for some time! read more

HORRIBLE PLACE! DO NOT GO HERE! My daughter in law was married last week and we had her bridal party booked for make up and hair. Some of the stylist were nice and the make up artist was amazing. The OWNER Kristy, RUDE AND COMPLETELY DISRESPECTFUL TO ALL OF US. She pulled our hair, never talked to us directly, would talk about us behind our back which we heard and was sick and coughing and sneezing all over the wedding party. She acted like she did not want us there and completely ruined this special day. Clients should never feel uncomfortable in the chair of a stylist nor should we be treated like we are a bother. WE ARE PAYING YOU!!! DO NOT GO HERE FOR YOUR SPECIAL DAY!!! The amount of money we were charged for how we were treated is disgusting. My daughter got a braid in her short hair and was charged $80.00!! ONE SMALL BRAID! I hope no one else goes through what we all went through...... read more

Got my first ever curly cut and style. Lots of good information and stylist Jen was great!

Really unpleasant experience for my best friend's wedding day. When I arrived, not a single person greeted me or told me where to go. I joined the other bridesmaids getting ready upstairs and as each of us got called to get our hair done it was clear that there was a serious issue as to cost of service. One of the bridesmaids had a simple bun done and paid $125 before tip for not even shoulder length hair. I also had a similar bun done and I paid only $95 and have much longer hair than the other bridesmaid who got a bun. Others had half up hairstyles with curls and paid an insane amount of money but each paid something different for the same style. Seems odd to me that you wouldn't have set pricing when a group all comes in for bridal services and especially when theses were all simple styles that we could have done ourselves. The pricing also should have been transparent instead of us finding out at the register. Not to mention I had to stand awkwardly at the register for a good 15 minutes before the makeup artist felt bad for me standing there and asked for the woman at the desk to come out from the back and check me out... I wish I remembered the name of my stylist. She was very polite, and I did like my hair. But the management of the salon ruined the experience. Honestly though, the worst part of this experience was watching my best friend, THE BRIDE, be ignored and mistreated on her special day. Her makeup artist was wonderful. So kind to me and I didn't even have my makeup done and she really made the bride feel and look amazing. The women who did her hair, which included the owner, were a nightmare. One woman kept taking phone calls from her adult daughter about car troubles and left the bride in the chair alone. Absolutely unacceptable. If you have personal issues, take the day off. She kept coming back to the bride and talking about herself and her daughter's issues. Is that really what you want to hear on your special day? What professional thinks this is appropriate? But the owner was even worse. She was rude, clearly sick, and clearly annoyed at all of us who were all paying customers. If you don't want the business you shouldn't have let us pay and you certainly shouldn't be talking poorly about your customers WHILE THEY'RE IN YOUR CHAIRS GETTING SERVICE. Also, if you don't want to deal with bridal parties... DON'T OFFER BRIDAL SERVICES. If you want a special place to get ready for your wedding this is seriously not it. All of us felt so uncomfortable the entire morning and so sad that the bride had to deal with this on what should have been a relaxed and welcoming experience. Really the only positive was the makeup artist (Alegria). I would recommend her based on her demeanor, customer service, and talent! Otherwise stay far away from this business, especially on your wedding day. read more

I was so excited to have found this place!!! Rearranged my schedul, drove over to Stillwater and they had NO appointment for me!!! They really botched it! First I incorrectly had 2 appointments so I called, made sure of the one I wanted, had it confirmed........ then I get there and!!!!!! How disappointing read more

I had a bad experience there early during Covid when they were not masking and spacing people apart. Prices seem more expensive than reasonable. The only good thing is that I have had good curly haircuts here but the rest of my experience has not been very good read more

Soooo happy with my hair care!! First of all the atmosphere was very pleasant. The lady at the front was so friendly and lovely to talk with. They started my hair appointment exactly on time and Kelly took her time on my curls and didn't rush a thing. I felt like they truly care about your curl journey there and I will never go anywhere else again. Uptown Curl made my daughter and I two faithful customers and two happy, bouncy ladies! read more

Uptown Curl - Stillwater - My daughter and I are both now in love with this hair care place! Will never go anywhere else again now that we know about curly cuts. - Hair Salons Near Me - Stillwater, Minnesota

Great cut, but they run latr every time. Today I sat for 30 minutes witout an update. I could have spent that time shopping or walking along the river. If you have a flexible schedule and don't mind waiting, you will get a great cut. read more

I walked in thinking this was a fancy gym for dudes like me that want every day to be bicep day. When the owner told me to stop curling everything in sight I felt a little dismayed. Bro gotta get his pump on y'know? That said I needed a perm and set anyway so I walked out looking dope. read more

My first time was in uptown Minneapolis with Kristy! She was absolutely wonderful. When she opened up another location closer to me, I started to go to Stillwater. I should be going more then once a year but my schedule makes it hard. I can say every time I go there I am never disappointed and I leave feeling great! Since I have started going there my curls have completely transformed because of being taught there technique! I am able to style and keep the style for days! I receive so many compliments about my curls! Thank you!!! read more

I booked with uptown curl for my wedding day. The day before they called me and told me they had no makeup artist scheduled and that they'd get back to me.. the day before my wedding day!! Alegria, the makeup artist, ended up making it work and was there for us. She was absolutely outstanding-- personable, friendly, and an expert at what she does. I would recommend her to anyone. Hair is another story.. I drove an hour and paid for a "trial run" for my hair and I literally sat in the chair, showed her what I wanted, she hardly even touched my hair, and she said "okay we can do that. That's all. I don't like to do a full trial run, so thanks for coming." What was the point of the trial run then.. that could have been handled over the phone or via email. The day at the salon, the owner Kristy was horrible!! She was coughing and sneezing everywhere, she was talking shit about us in back, she made me, my mother in law, sister in law, and 2 bridesmaids feel uncomfortable, unwelcome, and like we were a huge inconvenience. Her and another woman worked on my hair together and the other woman went in back twice while doing my hair to talk to her mechanic and her daughter which I felt was unprofessional. Kristy (the owner) also left to take a phone call when it was getting down to last minute and that stressed me out because I felt rushed to get dressed. They both lacked the customer service side of their profession as it felt awkward and they made no attempt at conversation except with each other. Also, I was quoted specific pricing for the bridesmaid half-up styles and they were all charged different pricing that didn't make any sense.. one of the girls literally got a simple braid in her hair and she paid more than a curled half up style on another girl. We spent good money at their salon and brought them business and they repaid us with simple hairstyles that anyone could do and a very negative vibe for a wedding day. My mother in law attempted to reach out to the owner twice the following week and never received a call back. In short, I would most definitely reach out to Alegria personally for all things makeup.. but would never bring my business here again or recommend them to anyone. Don't let them take away from what's supposed to be a happy, positive, and exciting day! read more

Customer service is ROUGH. Had issues with color from the get go - it only stuck to my roots. I only used products/shampoo/conditioner that were recommended from stylist at the time of service and within 2 weeks all the color was gone from my hair. I contacted the salon via phone and email multiple times to see if we could figure out what had gone wrong. Took over a month to get any sort of meaningful response from them but has been radio silence since the end of July. It seemed like no one wanted to deal with my issue since I got a response from a different person every time I contacted them and was told multiple times that 'someone else' would be getting in touch with me soon. After over a month of getting shuffled around to different people, the stylist finally emailed me and stated she used 'permanent color line for vibrancy' but would not answer any questions about what could have caused color to strip out in 2 weeks time. Her only solution was to try another color line next time. Two months later and I've lost all hope of getting any real answers from anyone there. After spending $400 on my visit, I kind of expected results to last longer than 2 weeks. read more
