I went to Lauren looking for someone who is skilled with blondes and she delivered! Her authentic personality also made her easy to talk to and be relaxed with. I’m looking forward to my next appt!

Lauren did such a great job with my hair! I was looking for some fun color and she totally delivered. She had me so excited I was giggling in the chair, and she gave me great coaching for making the color last. I’m in love with my new color! It’s exactly what I wanted!

I went to Poppy Salon recently as the stylist who had been doing my hair for the past 25 years got out of cosmetology. Jordynn did a great job on my hair (which had been previously colored poorly.) I am so thankful to have found my new stylist!

Love the decor, cleanliness and space between stylists. Everyone treats you like a valued client and friend instead of a number. Great music! Also love the eucalyptus and lavender eye masks and hot towel included with your service and the beverages, snacks and blankets. Very professional. Only place I would go to. Very caring and compassionate staff.

Sam always does an excellent job cutting and styling my hair based on my preference. I have never left the salon with a haircut, or style, that I could not replicate at home, which is a big deal! Best of all, every time she cuts my hair the style lasts for a really long time so I can spread out my haircuts while…

I have been a client at Poppy for over 10 years. I’ve always been quite particular (I would also use words like picky, fussy, opinionated) about my hair, and since moving to central MN in 2011, found it really difficult to find a stylist I could fully trust—until I started visiting Poppy salon. My go-to stylist is…
