Minks Salon and Spa

Calling all curly heads! Here, just outside the historic village of Lancaster, is a unique and lovely salon, a renovated period house with artistic touches aplenty — that offers a HAVEN for us curly girls in the form of DevaCurl trained professionals and DevaCurl styling products. This was my first visit, but certainly not my last.
It’s a warm and welcoming salon/​spa that could easily be on Elmwood Avenue, only the parking is easier. It’s a Clean Air Facility where an exchanger makes for a salon experience free of strong chemical odors. And it’s true, the place was immaculate, cozy, odor-​free and fresh.
Denise was kind and compassionate and listened to my concerns. She took time with me and carefully looked over my hair and curl pattern, while discussing the premise of the DevaCurl way of caring for, cutting, and styling curly hair. This isn’t just a product line Minks Salon promotes to bring in business — they really have an interest in and talent for working with curly hair. When searching for a stylist, most salons claim that EVERY stylist in their place is skilled in cutting curly hair, but THAT IS SIMPLY NOT TRUE.
Denise knows exactly what she’s doing and just how curls are structured and how to groom them, since curly hair is quite different than other hair textures.
Denise is proficient at working with curly hair, and could hardly curb her enthusiasm for creating magic with her technique and products. She takes great joy in what she does and loves seeing the transformation of a girl rocking her curls. It was a most pleasant experience.
If you’re like me and hesitant to have someone new cut your curly hair, rest assured, you’re in good scissor-​hands at Minks Salon.
