This was my first massage ever. And WOW am I blown away. Salt has definitely set the bar. The mood, lighting, decor and the smell inside was so relaxing. Michael was very kind and understanding, he really listened to what I was saying and made sure I felt welcomed and comfortable. All of my concerns were addressed and Michael made sure that the amount of pressure being used was okay and not painful. I definitely recommend the salt room massage! And I definitely recommend Michael! I feel like a new person!

I’ve racked up a ton of loyalty points (1500+) with them but when I tried to redeem them they said they were not doing the loyalty program anymore. After I showed them the loyalty page was still live on the website and explained at my last service how I was told to remember to use my points on any of the services on the list, the person at the front desk said they would honor the program for my manicure and I started my service. However, mid manicure they changed their mind and I had to leave the salon with one hand shaped. Thankfully the nail person did my other hand since she felt so bad.They tried to get off on technicality saying since I’ve already gotten a manicure before I can’t use my points. That’s not anywhere on the loyalty page to say that if you get a service you cannot get that service again for the loyalty program any time in the future. All it says is “reaching each tier earns you a choice of a complimentary service… treat points cannot be transferred to others, others cannot use your treat card points, and treat card points cannot be combined”. It’s also comical to think of them, after I started my manicure, looking all the way back to 2022 when I got a manicure to find any reason to not honor their own program.Telling a customer they’ll honor something then changing their mind mid way through a manicure is really unprofessional and so awkward for everyone involved. Loyalty programs are to show appreciation for your loyal customers and this is how you treat them? Especially since this was their bad for not updating their website or app (which still showed the points) and for saying they’d honor it for my manicure and then changing their mind as I’m getting the service!! Kinda shows a general lack of understanding of their policies, their website, and general customer service.But anyways I’m getting a manicure elsewhere and will not be returning to salt. I’m putting this review out there to share my experience for how salt treats their customers. There are many other salons that would do better at customer service. For example, nail ninja who I will be going to instead.

First time at the salon- it’s beautiful, relaxing, and very clean! Lauren took her time ensuring the quality of my finished nails were up to her standards (they exceeded mine). Will return!

Natalia was very gracious, as I was 10 minutes late to my appointment. She provided a very relaxing pedicure for me, and was very kind in asking if everything being done was okay. I appreciate it a lot, and thank her for a wonderful job!Karen Chancellor

I called Salt to schedule a blow out, I was told clearly that a hold would be put on my card in case I didn’t show. I took a $25 Uber to get there. I waited 25 minutes. I was then told “ there was an error in their system when I booked online and no stylist was coming” I said I booked with a human by calling. They apologized. I said an apology isn’t enough being that I paid and waited. The staff there said it was an error on owners part. I asked to speak to owner. She refused to speak to me. I was told she would call me, she didn’t. I don’t recommend and have told my local friends to avoid the headaches and not use this salon. I hope that ppl stop patronizing someone who can’t take responsibility for their error. I had to pay $25 Uber there $25 Uber home and got no service for an event that was 2 hours after this scheduled appointment . I expect at least to be reimbursed for my Ubers.

Would not get your hair cut here unless it is straight. Went there a year ago and they totally butchered my curls and gave me a triangle head, which I didn’t notice until I got home because they didn’t even completely dry it while I was there because she didn’t have enough time. I even selected the “hair-cutting specialist”. I filled out the review they email and never heard anything. Writing this now because my hair is finally at a good point again from getting it cut multiple times somewhere else to correct what happened at SALT.

Emily is amazing! I’ve been looking for a new stylist in Minneapolis and she’s officially my gal. She was very intentional and communicative throughout the cut to make sure I was getting exactly what I wanted. 10/10 recommend! 💕💕💕

Katie Morello was exceptional. Her professionalism shown through from the very beginning of the appointment until the very end. I have large amounts of fairly straight color treated fine hair, and she selected just the right products. Her technique was expert level and also so gentle. After the blowout, she created beachy curls for me and they are utter perfection. My hair feels light and has tons of volume. I will recommend her to all my friends and family.

My experience was excellent! Paulette did a fantastic job with explaining the services and their benefits and provided a spectacular 90min massage and added on facial cleanse. I thought that the environment was relaxing and welcoming. I would definitely recommend and will be back!

It was my first time at SALT and I enjoyed being there every minute. The front desk staff, barista, and hair stylists were all excellent but MADDIE was a ROCK STAR! She got real talent with her balayage technique. I’ll be coming back, not just for hair but also for the salted caramel latte. Yum! Muito obrigada Salt crew 🧡

I am new to the area and was looking for a place to get a haircut (including new bangs) eventually freshen up my balayage. The space itself is really beautiful and relaxing. I went to Ellie and she gave me exactly what I was looking for in a haircut with bangs!! I look forward to coming back and highly recommend the salon.

Review №12

I just received a SALT facial (the one on the website that is stated to be Totaling to a 1.5+ hour experience. and includes a hand, arm & foot massage in addition to a foot soak & exfoliation upon arrival). I booked online and was called to be notified that the foot soak and exfoliation wouldnt be available at the time of my appointment but that I could either skip it without any amount of refund or I could reschedule a couple hours later if I preferred to receive the entire service description. Fine. I rescheduled for a couple hours later. What is not fine is that my aesthetician Halle did not give me the entire service even then. I did receive the foot soak and exfoliation upon arrival. I did not receive a hand, arm or foot massage. When I asked I was told well thats because I chose a physical exfoliant for your facial and that took all the time by Halle. I told her that I would have liked to have known that, as I would have preferred a chemical exfoliant in that case because those extras are what made me come here for the service. She then responded with well I wouldnt have been comfortable with that anyways because it was the first time Ive seen you, which is so wildly unacceptable. I not only didnt receive the full service but this person apparently will never give a new client the full service. I am waiting for a call from the manager to hear their response to this situation (and will update when I hear back) but for the time being I am fully appalled by this entire experience. I will say the woman at the front desk was lovely and extremely understanding but had limited ability to do anything but listen. I very much hope for this situation to be remedied. Last thing to note I was out the door after an hour and ten minutes. In no way did was it a 1.5+ hour experience. So disappointed I was looking forward to this!

Maddie was awesome! Super friendly and sweet and totally listened to what I wanted. She knew what she was doing and did not disappoint. I got exactly what I said I wanted and it turned out just like I had it in my mind. She was recommended to me from a friend and I’m so glad I took the recommendation! I will be a return client for sure.

Review №15

They store credit cards without the customer’s permission. They have a 24 hour cancellation policy however they sent me a reminder at 23 hours yesterday. They say you can’t cancel . I’m not worried, I just won’t give them my business again and I’ll dispute the charge. I belong to a credit union so it’ll be no problem! You guys lost a GREAT tipper! By the way I’m getting a pedi right now by someone who actually knows what they are doing! I also got a foot infection from Salt, Sophia specifically. She used dirty utensils I believe. I do not recommend!An update to my review:Salt has now contacted me and asked me to remove my review. They make threats and try to scare you but this review is not coming down. I have a free speech right and protections against fraudulent charges like the one they made on my card. Again, I cannot stress how badly the consumer should avoid this place.

My experience today was amazing. Genova was very accommodating and attentive. She explained everything well so I knew what to expect! The only thing I will mention is the very beginning of the experience was a little confusing. I waited about 15 minutes in my care prior to getting a text to come in for my experience. I thought I was doing something wrong so I called them back but they were very nice about everything. Would definitely recommend, and will be going back!

I did the full spa experience pedicure and I LOVED the experience. This was my first visit and I was blown away with how beautiful the salon and spa were.This service is essentially a body massage and a pedicure. You get the full spa experience - comfy white robe and all. It was incredibly relaxing and warm.The woman providing my services, Lesa, was lovely!The only downside is the pedicure portion. First off, I wasn’t able to get gel polish during this service. If I would have known this, I wouldn’t have done this. I honestly didn’t even know people still used old school polish! I have been getting gel pedicures every 4-5 months for 10 years and they always look freshly done and never chipped. During my Salt pedicure, Lesa remarked that she couldn’t believe my pedicure was done over three months ago as it looked brand new. My toe nails grow very slowly and I only have to get a pedicure every 4-6 months. All this to say that regular polish doesn’t last at all and I can’t imagine why anyone would prefer this over gel? I took these photos two days after my spa pedicure and you can see the polish is starting to chip and there’s varying degrees of coverage. There is also some weird shaping to my nails.I’m bummed as I got this pedicure a week before my bachelorette party and assumed it would last for my wedding (less than a month away which should have been no problem as my normal pedicures last at least 3 months, sometimes 6) but it’s clear I will have to pay again to get another pedicure before my October wedding. I will continue to only ever get gel pedicures.Unfortunately, because the restrictions of the spa pedicure with gel, I won’t get this service again. I will book massages and pedicures separately from now on! (Whenever I can afford to splurge at Salt again!)Definitely would return for other services at Salt though! Lovely space and people.

Amazing! Loved meeting and working with Meg! Ive been following her work on Instagram and am so glad I was able to finally schedule an appointment with her. She did a phenomenal job on my nails. Not only do they look great, she clearly knows how to care for and maintain excellent health in nail and cuticle care. I will definitely be back again soon to schedule another fab nail sesh, and will also make it a point to check out the other fabulous services that you guys offer. I was incredibly impressed with the entire experience, start to finish!

I got the Deep Moisture Salt Gel Manicure as a treat for my birthday. My nail technician was Sheryl.Not only do my nails and cuticles look great- but my hands feel so soft! This was for sure one of the best manicures Ive gotten and the massages, scrub, and parrifin wax was such a wonderful way to get pampered on my birthday. Thank you for the lovely conversation and amazing manicure Sheryl!

First time to salt and it was wonderful wonderful wonderful. 90 min massage was amazing and was so able to relax. Salt is more elevated than a massage envy or other massage chain and little details like robes and the nicely decorated treatment rooms make all the difference. Will definitely be back!

Review №27

In the past I would have given five stars, but unfortunately SALT (at least in the spa) has had a lot of turnover and lost consistency in its service. I emailed them last week after I was switched to a different provider without notice and never heard back from anyone. If you get the right person it’s a great experience, but it seems far from guaranteed anymore.

Review №31

Horrible experience. After they switched my appointment on me. I called the morning of my appointment to see if I could reschedule because my son was so sick. They were rude and not willing to work with me. I have been loyal to them for many years, as well as my mom, sister, and husband. Even though they know the whole family and we never have cancelled they were not willing to budge. Then I was charged for the service 2 hours before the service time. even though I said I was going to try to make it. When I arrived my stylist was rude didn’t say hello, didn’t hang my coat, and didn’t talk to me the whole appointment. After being so loyal even whey they have cancelled and switched around our appointments multiple times in the past myself and the entire family will not be returning. We usually as a family have spent several hundreds of dollars a month between cuts, color, nails, and wax appointments.

From my 10 yo: Sophia made me very comfortable. Usually I’m shy to talk to new people, but she didn’t ask me all the awkward questions people ask kids like if I’m excited to go back to school. She just let me start talking when I wanted to and then she was very nice the whole time.From me: Cashlin was great and very gentle, super nice person to talk to. Our nails looked amazing when we were done. We will def be back :)

I received a haircut from Emily a few weeks ago. When I got home I realized one side was multiple inches shorter than the other. I called and asked if I could come back in and get it fixed. They said they would call me back in 10 minutes and then didn’t called me back for 3 hours. They said the earliest they could get me in was in 3 days. I agreed and had to have uneven hair for 3 days. They texted me a few hours after the phone call and forgot when we scheduled the appointment so we confirmed the time over text.When I got to my fix it appointment they had no recollection of talking to me or my appointment. It wasn’t in their books and nobody could remember talking to me. I showed them the texts and they claimed they didn’t have those. I waited for 30 minutes and the they told me they would have an opening for another 4 days. I had a trip to go on the next day so I said no I needed it fixed now. They said they couldn’t help me. They never apologized, offered my money back or anything. I would never recommend this place.

The Salt Salon is my one-stop-shop to feel pampered and loved! Such a perfect salon to be in on my Fridays off! I always look forward to my experience there with this amazing staff of women! They are welcoming from the moment I enter the salon through my exit. Great, spontaneous and delightful conversations from all staff. Lexi, Emily, and Sophia…perform magic on my hair color/highlights, cut, and pedicure! Today, I added brow tinting to my regular services (she was lovely, as well, and I enjoyed my experience with her, as well). To my delight—I have eyebrows for the first time!!! Put a wider smile on my face!! Healthy beverages and light snacks are available for purchase when I am thirsty and hungry. And, a gift shop filled with treasures for every want and need!! My one-stop-salon to feelpampered and loved! Love the Salt Salon!! —GwenLexi is so welcoming, joyfully conversant, positive, and great listener. She always asks me what I would like done with my hair color and then takes time to discuss my preferences before she mixes the hair colors. I have always liked my completed hair color!

Review №49

My recent experience, where my scheduled appointment was cancelled, was very strange.I was a little late due to a traffic accident, which I acknowledged when I came in. The staff member up front confirmed I was less than 15 minutes late which was their normal window and started checking me in, but then said she needed to go check because my stylist had a tight evening schedule. She came back and said that unfortunately they would have to reschedule me because of how theyd set up back to back appointments. I confirmed that my appointment was for 4:15 and I was still within the 15 minute grace period, which was agreed, and I asked if I was going to be charged for the visit. The staff person looked uncomfortable and said they would have to talk about it and would call me to discuss shortly.Instead of calling me back, I got an email labeled salt charge that said 15 minutes late was a no show. But we all had agreed I was less than 15 minutes late in person.Ive been coming to SALT for 7 years and recommended it to others. Im happy to pay a fee if I forget an appointment, and also happy to wait as I have for appointments in the past, or show flexibility. This was such poor customer service.

**BE AWARE** My daughter booked a hair appointment for a 4:30 time slot, and they texted her the day of, trying to move the appointment up an hour or so. She said she could not as she was working and could not make it earlier. The texts were very vague an unclear, as she thought the appointment was going to be canceled. She got a $70 charge to her debit card anyway. We tried to discuss options, and they will not work with you! This is the ONLY salon I have ever heard of that requires a credit card to book an appointment?? I would not recommend using this place, horrid customer service!!

I am running the Twin Cities marathon and scheduled a pedicure and massage more than a month in advance for the day after the race (I am taking the day off from work). SALT called me with less than a weeks notice and cancelled both appointments with no options to get in with any other employees that day. After looking at low-star reviews for this spa, Im seeing that its a pattern that their scheduling is unreliable. Dont schedule here unless youre okay with the possibility that theyll flake on you.

This is my new favorite place and I’m completely obsessed. Everyone I interacted with during my visit was so warm, kind, and helpful. Brittany did my foot soak and is the absolute sweetest. Additionally, the barista made a 10/10 iced chai latte. Super cute place and I can’t wait to be coming here monthly for all my beauty needs. Very clean, filled with lots of natural light, plants, and an adorable boutique section. Ella is such a doll and I loved my experience with her. She took the time to share with me each step of the facial and gave me expert advice on skin care and products. Her attention to detail is immaculate and my wax with her left my eyebrows looking the best they ever have!

Booked anniversary pedicures for my husband and I. I received a call asking if we could move our appointments back by 2 hours. I told them unfortunately no, we had another engagement to get to, but we were happy to come in earlier. I was told a manager would reach out to see what they could do. I never received a call back, so I sent an email after 5 days. I never heard back from that email, or my second follow up email. Bummer that we have to change plans for our anniversary, but the very poor customer service is what prompted me to leave this review.

Ive seen several different stylist and colorists here this year and theyve all been wonderful! Most recently I worked with Javier and he spent a lot of time helping me understand the best color and cut options for my hair, rather than just rushing into what I *thought* I wanted. I ended up getting a color and cut that I *actually* wanted (and love) but didnt know to ask for. Also, Im so happy to see the whole salon doing everything they can to keep their customers and staff safe during COVID!Being a hair model for Maya and Mal was the best, my hair looks great and I got to learn some stuff from listening to Maya teach :)

Kelsey was so kind and welcoming! I came in with a hair emergency! Not loving how my hair was done/dyed prior (at a different hair salon). She was patient, took her time, worked with me and talked with me about my goal and what Id like to accomplish with my hair. She litterly saved my hair!!!! Came out in love with how my hair looked and feels!

My first ever massage (2012?) was an eye opener for me. I thought it was the most amazing thing that I’d ever done. That changed yesterday. From the moment I walked in, the experience was tremendous. It smelled amazing, it was warm and inviting. Erin was kind from the first second, and I needed that kindness so much. The extra touch of the foot scrub and awesome books to relax even more was fantastic. The massage itself was the best I’ve had, and I loved the massage room, too. I’m already planning on the salt room experience with my mom and sisters, and another with a friend. I will be back for another massage, too! Thanks, Erin!

This is only my second time visiting Maya, but I am so grateful that my sister recommended her! She is so kind and personable, and overall does a great job. Previous stylists I have visited have been hesitant to make cut and style recommendations but she is great at making recommendations that push me out of my comfort zone and leave me feeling great about my hair. She also is knowledgable and provides great product recommendations without suggesting that I completely redo my haircare routine.

Absolutely magical salon and spa! Everyone who works here is so kind, patient and takes great care in their craft. High attention to detail in service and in the design of the salon. I spent the entire morning at Salt getting brows, blow out and nails and I left feeling totally at peace and feeling fresh! Thank you Sophie, Maddie, Ella and team!!

I went to SALT for the first time this past weekend and had a great experience! I had a consultation with Meghan on Friday and appointment the next day. I showed her some pictures of what I wanted and we discussed the process that would be done and what she recommended so that my hair wasnt too damaged. She was very sweet and knowledgable and let me know what was going on through the whole process. The salon itself is also very neat and clean and the employees are very nice. I will be going back in January for another appointment!

”Erin made me feel like a queen today on my birthday! I felt relaxed as soon as I walked in the door - started with a comfy robe, foot soak, and the sound of waves over the speaker system puts you right at ease. The massage in the salt room was amazing. I appreciated the quick consultation (no long-winded forms to fill out or anything like that) and Erin made it a point that she would respect my relaxation with little conversation throughout the massage. Overall, a super professional and a fantastic experience! Will definitely be coming back.”

On top of an awesome cut, my stylist Keanna provided the best customer experience Ive had in a while. She was really considerate of my time, and made sure I had everything I didnt know I needed to make the experience relaxing and positive. I work in a customer service industry and am not often on the receiving end so I really appreciated the little touches that made me feel taken care of. It made my day and I will definitely be back!

This was my first time at a hair salon and I thoroughly enjoyed my experience. Maya was easy to talk to and made me feel comfortable from start to finish. She did occasional check-ins to get my input on the length which I really appreciated. I am so happy with my haircut and will definitely be returning in the future!

Absolutely loved my haircut! What seemed like an intimidating split end removal, Piper executed it with ease and kept my length while also making my hair super soft and removing the damaged ends from my layered hair. I will definitely be back! (Also the gift shop portion was so cute! I loved the aesthetic of the salon and got a lot of cute MN handmade goods ☺️)

I was happy with my experience while I was there, but unfortunately the results did not last. Even with a polish that is supposed to last for weeks (Dazzle Dry), it started chipping after a few days because the technician was not properly trained to use it. Very disappointed in what was a $80 service. Will not be back.

This was my first time in the Spa side of SALT (Im always there for pedicures every 6-8 weeks!), and it was AMAZING!! So calming -- the lights, the smells, the sounds.Isabelle did the first part of my experience, which was the foot soak/scrub. She was so attentive and her demeanor is gracious.Erin was my masseuse, and like Isabelle, she was so attentive. And her energy is positive and uplifting. She sat with me for a few minutes and listened to my needs...And she focused exactly on the areas I mentioned. It was so relaxing and calming and worth every single penny. I will most definitely be booking another spa treatment soon.I always recommend SALT to everyone whenever possible. And now I can recommend another aspect :)

I recently moved out of state and didnt get a nice facial since I moved. I was back in MN for the weekend and booked a facial with SALT (a good friend of mine had recommended it to me around the holidays). Every single experience since I walked into the spa was just fabulous. SALT has a great vibe, a calming ambiance, soft robes, lockers and the nicest staff. Mandy, who did my facial, did a great job. She also gave me a tour of the spa/salon which was very nice. It is a modern day full service salon and spa where you pay upfront, walk in, receive a great service and walk out. In my experience, it is hard to find good spas and SALT is definitely one of the best in MN. I am definitely coming back and I highly recommend it.

This was definitely a surprise and delight experience! It was such a relaxing and peaceful experience. Starting with the footbath, followed by a wonderful and long facial, neck/shoulder/arms/hands/foot massage. The whole experience lasted 2 hours!! It was bliss. Ella was thorough, genuine and had a calming presence and touch. What makes this even nicer is that the gratuity is included. When your service is done, you just leave. It was really wonderful!

I came here because of a recommendation from my co-worker to get eyelash extensions. I ended up also getting my hair color re-done as well!Natalia did such an amazing job on my eyelashes, it’s the first time I’ve gotten them done and she made me feel so comfortable and relaxed the whole time.Piper did my hair and knew EXACTLY what I wanted even though I had a hard time articulating it. She did such an outstanding job it’s probably the best color I’ve received (and I’ve been to other more expensive places that did half as good a job)10/10 recommend this salon.

Review №112

Went here for a pedicure. Upon arrival I was briefly checked in while the owner or manager was busy on the phone/computer. This persisted throughout my time. Was not offered a complimentary beverage and instead was told to use a QR code to purchase. I understand but how it was presented was odd and as if I was an annoyance. The person doing my pedicure was LOVELY and what warrants the positive stars. However, they were told to do the incorrect service by the owner/manager, and I was given a basic one vs the upgraded one I had requested multiple times. Upon leaving, again was not given the time of day by the owner/manger who was too busy on their phone/computer so did not feel like I was able to address the error on their part for my pedicure.

I received a 1 hour prenatal massage with Genova today. She was SO polite and professional. It was a wonderful experience and I would see her again in a heartbeat. Between the foot bath at the beginning and full 60 min (even a bit longer!) massage, it was everything I was looking for. She knew where to use more pressure in certain areas than others and again, was extremely professional.

Keanna did the best job on my hair! I’ve never been happier with a hair cut. Keanna also recommended products to me that I have been absolutely loving.I’m updating my review from 8 months agoKeanna has been doing my hand tied extensions for 5 months now and I love them. She has been amazing for all my hair needs and works with my busy schedule!! I was super concerned at first about the blending my 20in+ hair extensions with my short hair but Keanna dyed and matched my hair perfectly to my extensions. She also really listens to what I want and delivers perfectly every time.I also went to the spa for a facial recently , Ella made me feel super comfortable during my facial and was really knowledgeable on my skin type and the products to use. I always get super nervous with my skin in the hands of a new person, but she was awesome! My skin is glowing. I will be back for another facial with her soon!I also want to add that spa and salon are super clean too, probably the cleanest I’ve been in. The girls at the front are always helpful, fast and nice, especially on the phone.

Maya is new at SALT but is an exceptional stylist, and I am so happy to have her working on my hair again! She did an amazing job with bringing me back to my roots (literally) and I am so excited to continue going back to her as my hair grows. It’s hard to find that one stylist who really suits you, and after shopping around I’ve realized that she really is the one for me!I also really appreciated her allowing me to be her model to try out the new color line on. She brought my dull blonde to a dark brunette with dimension, and I am LIVING FOR IT.Thanks Maya, and thanks SALT!

Cassandra was great! Microblading was not super comfortable for me, but she made it a breeze. She guided me through the process, had great conversation that didnt make me feel like I had to talk (great for introverts), and she helped me feel comfortable on the table. Really the 4 hour treatment flew by and Im really impressed with how my brows look! I have a scar that splits through one of my brows and she made my brow look full, natural, and it matches the other one. I love it!Also, the space itself was very cute and relaxing, and everyone was very helpful!

I went there many times, mostly for wash and style which was great. For highlights needed to re-do somewhere else as did not get a good color even after second visit. Facial was nice - mostly face massage that feels great not a typical facial clean up. But most likely I wont use this place again as when you are a few minute late or need to reschedule, they will still charge you a full fee. Today, they opened at 10 am and I was not able to re-schedule my appt on line. Called at 10:03 as had an emergency and needed to find a new time; was told will be charged the full visit. Previous time was a little late and they would not take me and were not nice about it - while I communicated on the appt that I could be a little late. To rigid for me, would not recommend.

I recently started seeing Javier at SALT Salon for my coloring needs. I previously went to other salons, and felt like I needed someone with more expertise. Javier is fantastic!

Its always a pleasure visiting with him when Im in the chair. SALT has such a great vibe - modern, comfortable, and classy!

Natalia is a very skilled technician-both eyelash and nails. I really like her eyelash extensions which allow me to never have to wear eye make up, something I especially like since wearing a KN 95 mask made my waterproof mascara smear like raccoon eyes. She is quick and the results are beautiful. I also get both a regular pedicure and an extended pedicure removing the rough skin from my very old and callused feet. She is also charming and delightful. I highly recommend Natalia at Salt.

Although the salon was darling, that was the only thing they had going for them. After a long day at work I scheduled a last minute appointment for a gel manicure.This was my first time visiting the salon and entered the back entrance which is the first door from the parking lot. It says you can enter at this entrance by ringing the doorbell, but after ringing multiple times and calling the salon multiple times, no one came to the door. 10 minutes later I find my way to the front and let the owner know what had happened. She did not apologize or even acknowledge my initial struggle to get inside, however she did offer if I wanted a drink so I accepted.It wasn’t until after she opened the drink and gave it to me, “That will be $4!”. I would not have chosen that drink if I knew there was a cost and they should’ve told me that before opening and offering to me. They claim they are a high end salon but are too frugal to provide complimentary drinks.Regardless of my initial impression, I was ready to relax and get my nails done. My manicurist was friendly but did not provide the service I expected for the price I was paying. They advertise a “neck & shoulder massage”, but I did not receive one.Needless to say I will not be coming back and will be returning to my regular salon that is less expensive and offers a neck and shoulder massage. The people, service and price was not the relaxing experience I was hoping for after a long day at work.

Second cut with Javier and its my second favorite cut in all my 30 some years of having hair.Javier is the best, I trust him completely to advise me on everything from the style I should wear my hair, the length it should be, my maintenance routine, and products that will keep my hair healthy.The salon is welcoming and peppy! Completely unpretentious. They have delicious teas and fabulous (French pressed) coffee! They hit all the marks for making you feel comfortable without being cloyingly attentive.

Review №175

Irina was excellent. Ive never been to SALT before (nor had a facial ever), and it was clear that Irina is super knowledgeable about skincare and skin health, so during both the pre- and post-facial consultations, she took time to learn about my skin and make recommendations, as well as educate me both on the process and how I can better care for my skin moving forward. Throughout, she checked in with me on how I was feeling, put me at ease with new things (extractions!), and it was a really great experience. Very relaxing and it felt super luxurious.A note to the spa overall is that I would really love to see them take some steps to be a little more plus-size inclusive, physically-speaking. While they were awesome in terms of how I was treated in social interactions, the robes are hilariously small, and the table also wasnt wide enough for me to lay my arms at my sides, which was actually pretty uncomfortable. Ive been at other spas where there are extra attachments on the side of the table, more sizes available, etc., and it can really change the experience! Id really love to recommend SALT as a luxury option for the plus size community in MSP because everything else was so great!

I love Salt, it’s always an amazing experience. From the minute you walk in you’re offered a drink, and there’s always cute products to shop and of course that gorgeous plant wall to look at. Meg was so excellent, she repainted one of my nails 3 times to make sure it was perfect!! Always looking forward to the next time I can visit Salt :)

I’m soooo happy with my experience with Mikayla & the whole salon! Beautiful ambiance in the salon, sets a great tone. I really appreciated the honest pricing from the get go and didn’t feel pressured to buy anything (even though I personally asked about and chose to buy a purple mask). Mikayla was the sweetest and I’ve never felt so relaxed before at a hair appointment because of the calm & sweet vibe she has! She transformed my hair exactly to the blonde I wanted after a bad hair job previously. I’m so so grateful and will come back here forever if I get the same service!! Thank you so much!

Emily is a hair sorceress!! She turned my curly/frizzy stinky hair into a silky masterpiece. She is so sweet and has such a kind heart! Would definitely recommend to friends. Already thinking about an excuse to come back for another blowout in the future.. thank you Emily!

This post is long overdue... I think it has taken me until now because I knew it was going to be a long one. I finally decided it was time, because I figured it was selfish of me to keep this hidden gem all to myself! My experience at Salt has been amazing every time. Being new to the area, and extremely particular about hair stylists, I was driving back home each time I needed a cut. The thought of going through another round of tryouts with stylists until MAYBE finding a good fit, did not seem worth it. This winter, our Minnesota weather drove me to finally do some research and try places nearby. Salt was not the first salon I tried, but was instantly the last. I will never go anywhere else. I was lucky enough to have Richard as my stylist during my first visit. Richard was everything you could ever want in a stylist and more. Being of mixed ethnicity, growing up my hair would always throw stylists through a loop. As soon as I was old enough to chose (and pay for) a stylist who knew what they were doing, I vowed never to let just anyone cut my hair. Richard instantly knew how to handle my long textured hair and was extremely knowledgeable as I picked his brain for tips and tricks to help style, grow, and take care of my hair. I have now been to Salt several times and am equally as pleased with the outcome. If you are looking for experienced, knowledgeable stylists who customize their service specifically for your needs, look no further. All I ask, is that you not completely book Richard up... he is the absolute best and I really cant bare the thought of having anyone else style my hair

Aliyah is fantastic! I got henna brows and a facial and am so so pleased. She talked me through the process of my services and went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable. Will definitely be back as well as referring people to her as well as your establishment.

The most aesthetically pleasing and cleaning feeling salon I’ve been to! Piper was so nice and cut/styled my hair perfectly! Will definitely recommend to a friend. Also the retail selection is dangerous, I wanted to buy it all.

I received a CBD full body massage from Genova in one of their salt rooms. Genova did a wonderful job of making my experience so relaxing. You get a cozy, comfortable robe, and then they give you a foot scrub before going back for your massage! The scalp massage at the end just topped everything off. I had a really great experience there and I will be returning! What a lovely ambiance!

Javier is the only hairstylist I have ever trusted completely, both with color & cuts. Ive tried different styles/colors over the years, and he always just gets what I want exactly every time! SALT is a great salon, the staff are friendly and professional, and the place is clean, calm, and aesthetically pleasing (and they play great music!).

A beautiful space and excellent staff. The Salt spaceis very thoughtfully designed and has an upscale but accessible feel to it. The staff is welcoming and very professional. Maya was on time, very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the product line and her craft. She asks questions and listens to the answers.Looking forward to trying the salt room sometime soon. Salt is much farther from my home/work than my last salon, but it is worth the extra drive time.

Booked a 60 minute massage - Molly was wonderful!! Very polite and knew I was there to relax so kept talking to a minimum. Highly recommend!! Oh, the foot scrub at the beginning is also a huge perk!

Super cute spot. The cups for coffee are adorable and you get your own french press as well which is included in your service and a nice surprise!The front desk/barista girl was very welcoming as well she took the time to walk me to the restrooms when I ask where it is located. Now I have driven past this place several times and while looking for salons that carry the hair care I use I found salt. I called and was able to get a blowout the same day with Callan. She is incredibly friendly and talented. She blew me away with her down to earth, easy to talk to approach. I told her about some scalp issues I was having so she made sure to use the shampoo that I use at home. My hair is wavy, frizzy and sometimes too much for me to deal with. Flat ironing was requested and the results turned out great. Other salons I have tried charge for hot tool or charge for thick hair which isnt always fair. Overall so very please with my service. At 40 dollars it was well worth it and I will be back for future blowouts from her and I look forward to trying other services as well.Thank you!

Keanna gave me a haircut a few weeks ago that was truly the best one of my life. Even now- it has so much movement, looks bomb, and makes my morning routine so much easier. She was so fun to talk with, too! Highly recommend.

What a fabulous experience at Salt! I spent an afternoon experiencing the salt cave followed by a relaxing massage with Erin. I loved that my massage began with a foot scrub and then kept getting better with a massage tailored just for my needs. I left relaxed and slept soundly all night after my massage. Can’t wait to come again!

Keanna was amazing. The color she chose for me could not have been more perfect, she grasped exactly what I was wanting. She also suggested the gloss treatment, which I’m incredibly happy about. I have never loved my hair more!

I was really pleased with the service of everything, but was a little disappointed by the gel nail color selection. I wanted ivory, and there was really only one shade of white to choose from (which was too white). Meg was more than helpful in combining/layering shades to find something I liked, but I would have expected SALT to have a much wider selection of shades. I was getting my nails done for my wedding, and I had a specific vision in mind. I wish I had known so I could have brought my own polish color.

Leah did an amazing job! She transformed a mess of a color job done by another salon into my dream hair! I am so thankful for her wisdom and her skills...on top of that she was the sweetest! Thank you so much!!!

Natalia is truly an exceptional and talented artist. I have been going to her for almost three years now for lash extensions and she does a perfect job every time! She is hands-down the best in the business and I couldn’t be more grateful for her!

Malerie listened to exactly what I wanted to do to my hair and she made it happen! She gave me tips on how to keep it healthy and what products will make the color last longer! I would definitely recommend going to SALT and seeing Malerie for your hair needs.

Malerie was very nice and personable! She made sure I was comfortable and made sure she gave me multiple opportunities to ask questions if I needed to! My hair turned out amazing!
