The best in the area for any service. Quality cannot be beat. Have been going here for two years.

Thank you, Vera, for being an amazing stylist and the proud owner of your beautiful salon! The atmosphere at the salon is fantastic, and you, as the owner, make it even better! I found the salon on Yelp and drove over an hour just to have my hair done, and it was absolutely worth the drive. I've tried getting perms in the past and always requested a spiral perm, but they consistently gave me a traditional perm, which never turned out right. However, I absolutely love my hair now, and it has boosted my confidence significantly. I am so grateful to have found your salon and you as my stylist! Thank you for your time, and I look forward to seeing you again soon for other services! Sincerely, Rachel read more

See all

Super friendly and kind person, made great conversation, she permed and cut my hair and it turned out fantastic, I have been to so many different people and they always mess up my hair and cut it to short or chop it and vera knows exactly what she is doing, I would recommend to anyone that wants to get there hair done to go to her she does a fantastic job read more

I found Vera on Yelp.. and man, I am so glad that I did! I have not had a professional haircut in YEARS.. I was really starting to feel it the past few weeks and knew that I needed a great professional place to go to cleaned up. I called in to make an appointment and Vera answered and was very sweet and friendly. I got to my appointment and her salon was so cute, clean, inviting and relaxing! She greeted me and from the first moment I met her, I knew I loved her! She was so sweet and welcoming and made me feel like an absolute celebrity. My hair has never felt so great as it does now, it is light, fresh, clean and just feels incredible. I also had a great time talking to her. I will definitely be going back time and time again! read more

30 Miles to get to her and well worth it! Four years I've been waiting to get the haircut she gave me today! I showed her a picture or two on my phone but she didn't even need to look. She got me! Because she listened, looked and is a real professional. I read other reviews and they were all so complimentary I thought, what the heck. I've tried six other hair stylists, told them I needed layers but only Vera got it right - the first time. There's a reason people from all over the map go see Vera - her talent, her sweet personality, her professionalism! Glad I found her! Almost didn't want to write a review and see her business get too large but here it is! read more

Vera Salon & Spa - Thanks Vera - layers at last! - Hair Salons Near Me - Mendota Heights, Minnesota

I have NOTHING but nice things to say about Vera and her salon. If you're looking for a sign you should come here, let this be it. First and foremost, she was incredibly accommodating. I let her know I was driving from over an hour away (small town, MN) and desperately needed a hair appointment because I was feeling so unhappy with my hair. Without hesitation, she accommodated me that day. I can't even think of a word to describe how happy I was with the final product. I left with my hair EXACTLY how I was hoping it would-- honestly, maybe better. Vera rebuilt my confidence. Not just with her stylist skills (which are impeccable) but with her compliments and gentle reminders of my self-worth. I'm not exaggerating when I say a hair appointment with Vera felt like an evening with my late grandma. Not to mention, she worked efficiently. I have thick hair and appointments usually take so long but she had me out of there well before I thought I would be. She also primarily operates in the salon on her own, to my understanding. Everything about this sweet lady screams hardworking and devoted to her craft. I am only amazed she doesn't have more reviews on here. Not only am I happy with my hair but I am ecstatic that I, on a whim, drove over an hour to visit the first place I found on Yelp. I feel like a new me with the perfect haircut & color. Vera, you are a talented individual and an incredible human. Thank you. read more

I was desperately looking for someone to help me with my hair emergency and I found Vera. So glad I did. The person I had been going to before Vera totally chopped up and destroyed my hair. Vera fixed it in no time understanding not only what I wanted but what was the best cut for my lifestyle and face. She's truly an expert and one of the kindest people I've ever known. It's so nice having a stylist that I know I can go to and trust. read more

I bought a certificate back in November for 4different visits to this salon for under 50dollars. The 4visits contain one for a hair cut, mani or pedi, coloring, and facial. They are all mini versions of the real thing but you can always upgrade it to the full version for a few bucks more. I forgot about it until last month and since its expiring the end of March decided to book everything. Its hidden away in a small strip mall you would never know its there unless someone told you.Parking is a pain unless you find one right by the salon otherwise its a weird layout where you have to walk around the mall (its outside btw which isn't fun during winter). I'm glad I got introduced to this salon because Vera the owner is a sweet lady with what seems like a Russian accent she could be your grandmother but she does a great job with her facials. Leaving you refreshed and with a super soft face, Plus the stuff she used on me smelt really nice fruity! Alicia who does the hair portion is very friendly and did a great job asking what I wanted to be done with my hair and followed through with it. The salon is very small about 2 chairs for haircuts, one table for nails and a small room for the spa portion but the employees devote their work to you. The pricing since I got the certificate deal is inexpensive and I would say average price is the same for everywhere else offering the same services. I'm amazed that this wasn't on yelp assuming that they just opened but that wasn't the case apparently the salon has been around for almost 6years pretty crazy. read more

I met Vera when she was working at another salon. She opened her own place, and I love it. She's a very good stylist, but her salon offers something that most others don't. The Miracle Wrap, where you lose inches, and makes your skin feel fantastic. You feel lighter, and much less bloated. I was doing these for awhile, then stopped because it's not a cheap procedure, and I tend to need several months worth. Some lucky folks just need a couple of visits. You are basically mummified for a half hour or less, in the mineral soaked wraps. It's good to move around while you're in the wrap. I'm going to start this up again, cause I really miss it, and always feel like a million after it. It's $110 or $90 per session if you get on the 4-5 plan. It's not a procedure that just anyone can do or offer, you need someone specially trained, for the Miracle Wrap. It's so worth it. Remember to bring extra underpants with you because you leave those on. It's an improved treatment and takes less time then before. What a way to love yourself. This is the last review for the Underdog Challenge, and I wanted it to be as special a place as the first. read more

My daughter and I have been going to Vera for many years for haircuts. She is wonderfully warm, friendly and does an excellent job. I completely trust her to make my hair look beautiful. read more

Vera is a miracle worker. I am posting a picture of my hair nearly five weeks after my last haircut and color. My hair is fine, stick-straight and I have cowlicks in back. To get this look I only spend about 15-20 minutes including blow dry and straight iron. She is an artist! read more

Loved meeting Vera. She is very receptive to thoughts and ideas. She offers suggestions with an open mind. First and foremost she knows her business/hair. Vera is a true professional; I'll be back!! Stop in you will be guaranteed the best cut and style ever. read more

Excellent service. Vera knows her stuff! She really listens and is willing to make changes with you. She has even been a steady sounding board, when I want to do something entirely different, she walks me through what it would take and how it would look. She is an artist. read more

I had an eyebrow wax and haircut. She did a fantastic job. She really knows how to cut naturally curly hair. I have had so many bad haircuts but Vera really knows stuff and what is trending. The hair products she uses are the best name brands. I am so glad I found her! read more

Vera is a ray of sunshine and very talented. She has been styling my hair for almost 6 years now and I'm always very happy with the results. Whenever I have a vision in my head she counsels me and makes sure that i get what i was hoping for while still having a style that works for me. Vera also works wonders with my eyebrows and is the only person i trust with them, i wont even touch them. On top of being my trusted hair adviser she is very professional and very hardworking all with a reasonable price. read more

The stylists at Vera Salon have always worked wonders with my hair and my daughter's, as well. They are so personable and really listen to what you, the customer, want. It's a quiet, pleasant environment, as well. I have to disagree with one of the other reviewers. The salon is located at the Village of Mendota Heights, the town's center. Easy to find! Also, there is plenty of parking in the lot or parking ramp. The ramp has a convenient elevator so you really don't need to walk outdoors that much (I'm thinking of winter here). Anyway, 5 stars for Vera! read more

I have been a client of Vera's for quite a few years, now. I followed her when she moved on to her own salon. She is the epitome of professionalism. She's a great listener along with her talented hands and eyes; she always makes me feel like a new person leaving the salon! read more
