Lili Salon Spa

The receptionists aren’t friendly and there seems to be issues with communication. I scheduled an appt and still waited a half hour bc my aesthetician didn’t know I was added. Then she thought I was in for another service and goofed up the appointment. I was scheduled for a lip wax and she began to give me an eyebrow wax. She started to put the wax btwn my brows and I stopped her but it was too late. I haven’t gotten the middle of my brows waxed in years bc it always breaks out when I do. And guess what? I now have a breakout of 6 tiny pimples btwn my brows bc of their disorganization. Very frustrating! Especially from what’s supposed to be a posh place in Minnetonka. I have also tried to schedule a hair appt and gotten the run around from receptionists being vague and snotty. Waste of time and money here. Not a high end salon experience.

Hi there,
I have had my hair highlighted by Damien several times now and he does such a great job! I leave his salon feeling like a beauty queen! I am very picky and I was afraid to leave my previous stylist but I couldn’t do the drive to Duluth anymore) I have blonde hair and he foils it perfectly! And it grows out so nice! It looks beachy and sun kissed. Thank you Damien!

I had my first haircut with Lisa today. She was a gem! Wonderful shampoo and round brush blowout! I can’t say enough about the cut, she fixed me right up! Can’t wait to go back.

Awful customer service from receptionist both upon arriving and when leaving. I’d expect that quality from Great Clips, but not here. The stylist and haircut were great.

Big thanks to MICHAEL he fixed my hair after I got brassy hair color by other stylist. He was wonderful and knew exactly what to do to not only correct my hair color, but help blend out my old and new highlights more naturally and did full foils on me. I highly recommend seeing him for a great hair color.

This is the second time I’ve done a highlight and cut/​style at Lili Salon. I bought a Groupon my first time and I’m so happy I did, otherwise I wouldn’t have found this place! The salon itself is very cute and was very welcoming. I had no issues with the front desk or customer service at all, they were all very helpful and friendly to me both times.
I can’t remember who did my first highlight. They used the technic Balayage, where they «hand paint» on the highlights instead of using foil. I really liked my color when I left but I feel like it grew out WAY faster then doing normal foils. It was like the highlights didn’t originally start close enough to the scalp so it grew out too fast, I had to make a new appointment for highlights just after two months. For my cut, I had Kelsey. I decided on a more drastic cut/​change. I had hair to my mid back but cut it into an angled bob of sorts. I was super nervous to do it but Kelsey made me feel awesome about it and had some great cut ideas. I can’t express enough how awesome Kelsey is. She is AMAZING at cutting hair and is SO fun to be around. My hair turned out really great and I LOVED it. She also took the extra time to show me different ways to style it.
My second time visiting was just last night. I had a partial highlight with Tricia, and used foils this time. Tricia was super awesome. She was really nice and really informative and understood what I wanted to do with my hair. My highlights turned out GREAT this time. Close to the root, nice and bright… she did an amazing job! I’ll be going back to her for sure. I had Kelsey again for my cut, and she got me brave enough to cut my hair even shorter this time. Again, it turned out better then I could have imagined. She has a great eye on what will look good on people. She took the time to show me how to style the new cut like she did the first time and I really appreciate that. She showed me how to straighten it and then how to curl it for different looks. You can tell she’s a perfectionist when it comes to cutting and styling… every hair has to be cut right or in place for her to be happy and that’s so great. You could never leave her chair unsatisfied, I’m confident in that! I really can’t say enough good things about Kelsey. I’m so glad I found her! Like everyone else says too, she is super fun to talk to… very outgoing, bubbly, and adorable. :)
I would for sure recommend this salon… maybe just skip the Balayage.

I had a wonderful visit to the salon! I am new to the area and have been having a difficult time finding a stylist. This salon will be MY new salon. Thank you to Michael, colorist and Kelsey, stylist. They both took the time to listen to what I wanted done and the outcome was perfect! My daughter will be making an appointment soon!

Richard at Lili Salon is the best. He is great with curly hair. Treats like you are the best client he has. I would highly recommend him!

I was in town for one night and needed a last minute ‘blow out’ close to my hotel… most salons in the area were closed, but Lili was open and able to accommodate me. Kelsey did a great job! Even if she hadn’t…I still probably would have left happy… just because she was so friendly and fun to talk to. Go! Ask for Kelsey, she’s awesome.

Peyton and Dana. That’s all I gotta say! I’ve never had a routine hair salon until I was given a referral to go to them for cut and color. It was literally the best hair styling experience of my life every time I would go. I even did a bleach and tone with Dana when I was feeling adventurous one year. It was not my best look, but glad I tried it with Dana. Both her and Peyton take so much pride in the quality of their work, and it showed every time!
I started going to the Hpokins location when I was living about a 15 – 20 min drive away. I unfortunately had to move back to Stillwater, MN unexpectedly, so I would literally drive about an hour to my hair appointments — it is that worth it! I even got my mom who also lives in Stillwater to get hooked on Peyton for a few cuts.
Added bonus/​service — They both loved my Pug/​pekingese, Gus, so I brought him in a few times. He’s extremely well behaved and loves attention and socializing, so he would just sit on my lap quietly for some times almost 3 hour long appts (cut and color for a girl with thick hair). All the staff seemed to love him and so did most guests — my only rude encounters and glares came from a handful of dog hating guests (see description of my dog’s behavior in previous sentence).
I now live about 1000 miles away, so unfortunately, I will have to find myself a new salon. I will definitely be booking an appt when I come back to visit family for Christmas! Great job Lili Salon, Dana, and Peyton! I miss you all!

The salon isn’t anything overly special, but the stylists are. I see Karen for color and Jeannie for the haircut. I’ve tried a lot of the salons in the area and now I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Pricey, but lovely salon. My stylist was quite the Chatty Kathy (talked all about herself), which was a turn off.

This review is for Nikki and Nicole. I usually go to Lili to see Nicole for waxing. She is the best hands down… not only is she quick, she does a great job of making you feel comfortable and distracting you from the torture you are enduring. This review for her is overdue, because I have been seeing her for years. and following her where she goes. I hope she stays at Lili!
I made an appointment with Nikki after I had gotten jumped at Drink, and some girl pulled a huge chunk of my hair out right in front at the part! (see my Unilocal review for Drink for more info). I was leaving town and my regular stylist couldn’t fit me in. So I thought I would try and find someone at Lili.
Nikki was super sweet. I was freaked out when she started cutting because it was something completely different than I have ever had before. but I was so happy when she was finished. Not only was she able to cut it to cover my bald spot. LOL but overall made my hair much more manageable. My hair is thick and wavy… so I usually have to work with it a lot after I shower, but with her cut… it curled in all the right places and is lower maintenance. So really that girl at Drink just did me a favor!

I took a hiatus from Lili during the winter season and just got to go in last week.
LOVE Alan! He’s amazing at what he does and has never disappointed me after a cut– unlike other stylists. I must admit I just don’t know exactly how to ask for the cut I want and I usually am too lazy to look for pictures. That said, it’s kind of a gamble with what I end up with… I should learn from this, but I digress. The point is, Alan always gives amazing cuts and is super funny.
I don’t think I’ll take a hiatus again.

A super salon with experienced talent that listens to their customers. Prices are reasonable for an upscale salon.
