Salon Stella

Jamie has been cutting and coloring my hair since I moved to Minneapolis three years ago, and I would never go anywhere else! I'm getting married in September, and I had a great time with my trial run at Stella. Moe colored my hair beforehand (two thumbs up!), which made Jamie's absolutely gorgeous (and seemingly effortless!) updo look even better! I'm so excited to have Jamie and Moe styling my hair and my bridesmaid's hair on the wedding day! Stella is a must for brides who don't want the same old "cookie cutter" look on their big day.

I have been getting my haircut by Carrie, one of the co-owners of Salon Stella for 5+ years- actually prior to her opening Salon Stella. I was referred by my aunt, whose whole family uses the Salon, as do my sisters, our boyfriends and several other friends. In that time I have never gone elsewhere- I love Carrie & her business partner Jamie and their stylist Ande & I'm sure the new stylist Moe is just as great. In that time, I have tried a variety of styles- Carrie always cuts it right for my hair & I am always amazed at her memory for what we tried last time or how my hair behaves. I think they are a great value even without all the nice extras like free drinks, ohh sooo good head massages and the personal relationships and good conversation in a fun environment. And they listen to good music! My most recent experience was for my sisters wedding. The Salon blocked out 3 hours for the bride, bridesmaids, and mothers. We took over the salon with breakfast, mimosas and make-up, not to mention a somewhat obtrusive photographer (my dad). We had all 4 stylists working to get everthing from blowouts and down styles to partial and full up-dos. We were really looking for classy styles- not what I typically think of wedding updos, and they delivered! It was not only great to know our hair would turn out great, but it was a really fun and relaxing way to start the day! I think the stylists had as much fun as we did! When we were done, my sister commented that everyone's hair was perfect for their personality and she was really happy with the outcome. Jamie did mine and I LOVED it. I have always gone to Carrie, but if I ever can't get in with her when I want to, after that experience, I wouldn't hesitate to use the other stylists too! I now live in the southwestern suburbs and work in the southeastern suburbs, but I will do the drive to Northeast in rushhour traffit- it is worth it!

Pros: I love everything- style, environment, experience and value!

Whether you're a traditional bride or a bride that thinks outside of the box, Salon Stella is the place for you...and your wedding party. I was in search of not only a great hairstyle, but an experience to share with my bridal party the morning of my wedding. I loaded up the bridesmaids, mother of the bride and flower girl and headed to the salon for a completely personalized, relaxing morning. For hours the salon was booked for our use only. Styles ran the gamut - everything from a traditional updo to a relaxed, flowing mane of curls. For those not certain of the style they craved, the stylists worked with each to achieve a look that suited their personality. If you were not in a chair getting your hair done, you were relaxing with others in the sitting area - snacking, drinking, enjoying the music, taking picutres, etc. Need I say more? If you are a bride or know a bride that needs one less thing to stress about, contact Salon Stella and book your day - you won't regret it!

I was looking all over the cities for a good stylist. Alas I had to drive all the way out to Elk River from Fridley to get a cut from someone I was comfortable with. That was a bit far for me to drive, so I kept searching. I stumbled across citysearch and typed in haircut, or something to that effect. And wha-la! Up popped Salon Stella, it had rave reviews so I thought I'd give it a shot. I made an appointment with Jamie and I'm glad I did, she did an awesome job and I've been going to her ever since. It's been almost a year since my first cut and foil, she does both very well. The salon itself is very inviting with a retro feel and tons of character. Seriously give this salon a try if you are as frustrated as I was trying to find a really good stylist.

Pros: Comfortable atmosphere, friendly service and talented hair stylists

Cons: A bit on the pricier side, but I believe you get what you pay for.

After bouncing from place to place, stylist to stylist, (and years of cutting my own hair in between) my hair and I have found our match in Moe from Salon Stella. In a few short moments Moe connected with my hair, she could see the issues I may struggle with and offered me options I could handle. She cut my hair not only with a style in mind, but with me in mind. I am a no fuss kind of gal with a need for great style, and Moe delivers!! I will be bringing my hair and myself back to salon stella, again and again!

i'm new to salon stella, but NOT new to my hairstylist MOE. she's spectacular and clearly thrives in this fantastic environment. it's very quaint and lovely and there's a real feeling of ease and comfort that you don't always have when going to a salon. and i can't recommend MOE highly enough. she's an amazing hair stylist (and person) and anyone i have ever recommended to her has absolutely loved her and subsequently their hair...as they should. she's very bright, talented and really sweet. if moe moved to alaska, i would follow her. she's THAT good!!!

I do love Stellas. It is the most personalized service that I have ever received and the most relaxing enviroment. It is not a loud and pushy chain. It is owned by 2 women who take pride in thier work and in thier business. I will not go to a different salon ever. Carrie is absolutely wonderful! My haircut and color is always perfect and I have never gotten as many compliments as I do now. Go to Stella's you will not be dissappointed!

Pros: on line booking

Cons: not the easiest to get in. They are worth the wait though

Somehow she made an unruly mop of hair lay down and obey like the best-trained doggie ever. My haircut is amazing. I highly recommend her and the salon!

Pros: Close to a good Greek diner
