excellent and comfortable salon

by spiral_e

I have been to Village twice for an all-over color and a haircut with Kara. I agree with a previous reviewer that Kara is wonderful. She has a gentle, friendly, and thoughtful personality and asks all the right questions about my hair. In addition, she exhibits excellent technical skill and knowledge. She also demonstrates great knowledge of Aveda products, but I never feel pressured by an up-sell. If you're looking for someone who really listens and consistently performs extremely well, I highly recommend Kara.

• Pros: friendly staff, welcoming and comfortable environment, great skill
• Cons: none

Great Partial Foil

by rinad8244

Everyone was very friendly. My hair dresser Sam did an excellent job on my partial foil & Cut. I have an event this weekend and it will be remembered. Pricing is normal for an Aveda shop. No up selling (nice!).

Just told me about products that I could really use. Pleasant and close.

• Pros: location, atmosphere, & Aveda Aromatherapy
• Cons: No parafin wax (JUUT)

Great place, mediocre massage

by MayMay18

Very nice salon and the staff was very friendly. Went in for a 60 minute body massage and left with a neck rub and well oiled lower back that came up to $80 with the tip. Could've spent that on something else.

• Pros: nice salon, free parking, pleasent staff
• Cons: bad massages, loud conversations

Reasonable rates, pleasant service, beautiful results

by minneapolisite

New to Village Hair Co, Kara did a lovely job with my full foil and cut. Kara asked the right questions to ensure the end results met my expectations (finely spliced highlights rather than chunky sections, exact place I like to part my hair, whether or not I wear my hair in a ponytail, how I like to wear my bangs, etc.) Kara was knowledgeable about the Aveda product line and made appropriate recommendations when asked but did not try to up-sell me.

I enjoyed a complimentary chair massage while my color processed--and was given an additional hand massage when I commented that I spend all day at a keyboard.

Parking was free and convenient, decor was simple but welcoming, atmosphere was casual and chatty, prices were reasonable for an Aveda salon (see their website for specials). I will definitely be back.

• Pros: great results, efficient service, punctual scheduling, friendly staff, convenient parking, reasonable rates

Best full service salon in South Minneapolis

by Michellei

Village Hair is the best, everyone is talented, professional, and fun. Some are even entertaining (did I say Rosie!). Services are extensive and prices just about right. The offerings are the same as those fancy, schmacy places downtown but with a true south Minneapolis flair for making you feel comfortable and special.

• Pros: The people
• Cons: None

What more could a girl want?

by bosstone

If you haven't given this salon a try, you are missing out on a great treat for yourself. Shawn and his staff of highly trained and down-to-earth technicians can work their magic on your hair, skin, nails and self esteem! I have been going there for several years and have yet to be disappointed.

I am going for the divalicious party with my best girls and look forward to wine, food from Al Vento and a dream like pedi next.

• Pros: Service is great
• Cons: parking is tricky but not impossible

by sonnysmom

I love this salon! It is in walking distance from my house, in the best little niche in the neighborhood. The staff are all wonderful (especially Erin). I absolutely recommend it.
