Head To Toe in Minneapolis, MN

I've been coming here to get my haircuts for years!!!!! Margot is the best! She always listens to what I want and I usually end up with a haircut even better than I envisioned. I don't trust anyone else to cut my hair.

I went to two different stylists. Based on reviews here and on Google, I opted not to go with the same stylist. Mistake? Maybe. But I'm also the type of person who is willing to try new people and hair grows out, like how bad could it get? First stylist was good. So, 3 stars there. I didn't love it at first but I knew I could live with the haircut. The growing out phases was wonderful so that was a late win. The first stylist, she asked for photos and went slowly. This most recent haircut and stylist? 1 star. Major remorse and frustration after getting home. Realization: the stylist really didn't understand how to work with thick, straight, coarse hair. She thinned out my hair too much with too many layers. This, after having the understanding that I wanted to keep long layers, a lob (cut to the collarbone), and something low maintenance. What I got was like a shag that had no shape. The back of my head? Good grief. The cut was like a mixed message; neither here nor there, no direction. Also, she cut my hair nearly the entire time wet and up in clips. I couldn't possibly tell what was really happening because I could never see the actual shape in progress. Miscommunication can be a thing, sure, but I felt like in the initial consultation, she understood what I was asking for. I ended up going to another salon entirely to fix my hair. I couldn't take a chance that going back anyone there would have been able to fix my hair. I've learned there is a huge difference with texturizing, layering and how that impacts removing 'weight'. If you come across any stylist with happy hands/fingers with thinning, razor scissors, beware.

I read some great reviews about this place and had to request Abbey as my stylist! What's even better was the day before she added me on Instagram to see who I was and man she did her homework. Impressive!!! She saw I was a foodie and we had the best conversation. She listened really well to what I wanted which was some face framing kind of like long curtain bangs and wanted about an inch or two off since my ends were splitting. She also gave suggestions and gave my that "body ody ody" girl boss look. Did I mention she was funny? Lol At the end Abbey suggested some conditioner and shampoo I was looking for based on my hair and I'm grateful I had the opportunity to get my hair cut by her. Recommend? YES!!

If you want your mask deliberately ripped off your face during a pandemic or your barber to not listen to you, get your haircut here! Friendly people, but crappy listening skills and even worse public-health common sense.

Come for the snips, stay for the Abbey. Been coming here for years- a Minneapolis gem for slick style and five-star service.
