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!

From the moment you walk in and are greeted right away by name, throughout your appointment until you look in the mirror and see the stylist's work. The ambiance is second to none. They have a waiting area, which is supplied by snacks & beverages to have while you wait. I highly recommend Poppy Salon!!

Heather always listens closely and helps me make decisions about my hair. I had always worn a buzz cut, but when I started to go gray, I decided to grow my hair out. I had ZERO knowledge on styling or products or care. I really feel like a new woman with the hair care I receive from Heather.

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.

Nikki was just lovely and fun to conversate with. The place is clean and is overall very comfortable, as expected. Normally I try to stay away from salons from continuous bad experiences with having thick hair, but I had such a good experience here at Poppy’s salon and I couldn’t be happier with my haircut. Thank you for helping me feel like me.
