I have been tannning for several years now. Not just for a tan, but for Vitamin D and sunburn prevention (for vacations and summertime). I have been to several tanning salons from all over MN and AZ. The tan I get from the beds at Sunwerks has been by far, the most natural color ever! It's nice that I am able to achieve different levels of intensity by just asking the staff. They direct to which bed would work best for what I am looking for. The salon is always spotless and everyone is very friendly and knowledgeable. I respect the fact that they try to prevent everyone from burning. PS-I have NEVER EVER E-V-E-R heard of any staff member telling someone to clean their own bed. It's just not something they do. One cleaning rag for all the beds? Really? I highly doubt that. I have been going there for 3,almost 4 years now and have yet to see one. Are you sure you got the right salon dannygood?
Pros: Great atmosphere, beds, staff, lotions.....
Cons: No complaints.

I was seeing Summer at E42nd St Salon in southwest minneapolis and when I called to set up my appointment and was told that she was no longer there I almost had a heart attack. I have managed to track her down at Spalon thankfully!!! I have been seeing her for my brazilians and facials for over a year now and have always had a wonderful experience. She is a very thorough waxer and has a wonderfully relaxing touch in her facials. I have and will continue to highly recommend her to anyone on the market looking for an esthetician.
Pros: Beautifully remodeled salon and spa.
Cons: Salon is a little hard to find at first.

I recently revisited The Day Spa with a gift certificate from a friend. I was not prepared for the new updated look....it is very nice. Clean, contemporary & comfortable. I was also amazed at the level of great service I received and a bit shocked to learn my facialist has been there over 12 years, the massage therapist over 10 and I believe my nail tech also over 10. It is hard to find long term staff like this in the spa world. For me, that is all I need to know about receiving good service & having quality managment. My nails still look great with no chipping after nearly 4 weeks and I am now hooked on a great new organic skin care line. Anyone who has had bad service due to inexperienced or unhappy staff will find The Day Spa in Edina a hidden treasure with reasonable service rates.
Pros: Location, Staff
Cons: Parking was busy

I've lived in Minneapolis for 4 years and have been searching the whole time for a stylist that's creative and really understands what I want for a cut. I went to Rocco's in the IDS about a month ago and Annabelle gave me the best hair cut--I got so many compliments on it--and still do! Now Annabelle is no longer there--if anyone knows where she went please let me know!!

I have been doing gyro for over 1 year, but not here. I had been working with another trainer across town and then noticed an ad for this place. I was intrigued as I did not know MN had a gyrotonic only studio. I met with Eric and my opinion of gyro changed immediately. Eris talked about strength and use of my body in ways that I had never heard before. Honestly I do not know what I was doing for the past year. It felt great but in a few session with Eric I feel and see difference in my body that the past year has not given me. I just wish I had come here sooner.
Pros: Best Gyrotonic in town
Cons: MPLS location is a bit far for me ;-(

So my sister wants purple dreadlocks. Where in the world would we do that I wonder...until someone mentions the Hair Police. So we go, not exactly knowing what to expect. What a great place! The atmosphere is fun and exciting and the staff is extremely friendly! We tell the stylist want my sister wants and off she goes. In the end the hair was as purple as Barkey and as tight as Bob Marley...just what my sister wanted. It looked great! Great place to get the unexpected when hair is involved.

The Aveda Institute in downtown Minneapolis is a great alternative to high priced salons. The students there are learning the newest trends in hair styles, so you'll be sure to get a great do! I would also recommend trying one of their facials there. Pamper yourself, on a low budget. Keep in mind, if you go, this is a school, so each service takes a bit longer than a regular salon because the instructor has to check over each step of the process. Give yourself plenty of time!

Just... wow. Where to begin? I had actually just moved to the neighborhood and was walking around 50th and France to explore the shops when I stepped through Brides of France's door. The first thing I noticed was how cozy and beautiful the store was. I was offered a warm, friendly greeting, and even after I explained I wasn't really hunting for a dress right now, the ladies there were more than happy to let me browse around, ask questions, and treated me like a princess! When I asked if I could try on a dress they were incredibly helpful with getting me a dressing room and trying the dress on. The dress was a La Sposa gown I had seen online and really liked, but sadly it looked horrible on me. While I was putting it back I noticed another gown that didn't really look like much, but figured hey, why not? Again, the sales people were more than happy to let me try the dress on and clipped me in it so I could get a good idea of how it would actually fit me (the gown is two sizes too big for me). When I stepped in front of that three way mirror ,I fell in love. I was standing there in the most beautiful wedding dress I've ever seen, and it was the dream dress I didn't know I wanted until then.
So here is how amazing my experience was: I was just having some fun at their shop, and they let me! That first visit I made, I found the dress of my dreams even though I had not actually been in the market for one. It was a brand new 100% silk ball gown style wedding dress on consignment, and just so others can get an idea of the price ranges in the stores (which does vary depending on what they have in on commission) I paid $420 for my wedding dress! At the time I didn't have that sum all at once, so they have an amazing layaway program that I utilized and had my dress paid off in three months. While it was at the store I could go and visit my dress any time I wanted to, and I've spent hours in there with Jill and the others, basically playing dress up! And after my dress was entirely paid for, I found out I had to move again soon, but this was no problem, the ladies let me keep my dress safely stored in their shop for a few months! Months! Honestly, I have never had a store go so out of there way for me, and every time I walk in I am greeted with a smile and by name. My best friend is getting married next year and she will be flying out here from Montana to go dress shopping with me at Brides of France.
My dress is now safely at home with me, and I still go visit Jill from time to time. She always wants to know how I am doing, how plans are going, and yes, I've tried on a few more dresses for fun. These women, this bridal store, are truly amazing! The customer service is fantastic, the dresses are gorgeous and range anywhere from $200-$2500, and their accessories are stunning as well. I found the perfect earrings there a couple months ago for my "something blue", gorgeous clip on vintage flowers. I'm still deciding if I want to wear them in my hair or actually as earrings.
If you are looking for the best experience in shopping for a wedding dress and want to feel like a person and not a number, this is the place! Really, these women will bend over backwards for you, I am going to be a loyal lifelong customer. You won't regret it.
Pros: Beautiful dresses, the best service and atmosphere
Cons: Smaller selection, but they only carry gorgeous gowns!
