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!
I honestly don’t know where to start! Sam was amazing! She started with a thorough interview about my hair and past services. Then on to the wash where I had cool pack on my eyes and was offered a blanket, a full scalp massage,… it was at least 20 minutes of full relaxation. Last was the cut. Sam explained…
I had a wonderful time! Lauren was a blast and very welcoming. I was not nervous at all for my first time meeting her. Not only was she kind but she did such a good job at my hair and I feel like a fairy princess!
I have been going to Poppy and Nikki since the beginning. They have created a wonderful atmosphere for everyone and I would not go anywhere else for my hair needs!
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.
Sara gave me a bob with side bangs as I requested.
I got a hair cut from Sara. Love the style.
I had a great experience with Lauren! She asked questions to help me figure out what I wanted since all I knew was I wanted things cleaned up. The end result was perfect and something I’ve been able to replicate at home!
I just love this place. I’ve been a client with them since the beginning and it just keeps getting better. Their attention to detail is top notch. The staff are all so kind and oh so fashionable. I’m treated like the queen that I am when there and I love it. This place is truly epic.
I am so excited to find a great hair stylist. May listened to me and gave me the exact style I wanted. When I went to fix it myself it laid perfectly. I’m thrilled and will recommend her to my friends. Thanks May!
Sam is always amazing and makes sure I am truly taken care of and using my me time for me! Always asks for updates in my life and even answer a research question for me! I get the most welcoming staff, hot beverage, puzzle time, relaxing time in the chair, and always great conversation with everyone I interact…
The atmosphere is fresh and clean and stylish. Everyone is very competent, polished and professional. They are on the forefront of great products and services.
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!!
Best Salon in Central Minnesota!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been going to my stylist for 17 years, she is one of the owners and founders. My years with her should tell you something about the type of service and experience you will receive!!!!
If I could give a hundred stars I would. I saw Courtney Friday after having a not great hair cut at a different salon. She listened to me and could see the problem right away. She took the time to make sure I was happy with the cut she did and found me some new products which are amazing. I LOVE HER ! and I love…
Always does a great job! Does exactly what I request.
Great experience with Jordyn for color and foil. The spa atmosphere is very welcoming snd relaxed and the people are friendly, personable and professional. I have been seeing Jordyn for over a year, since moving to the area and every experience has been wonderful!
Heather was very accommodating, gracious, helpful, caring, listened to my quirks
Thank you Heather. So efficient & thorough. LOVE the color & style! 10/10 cut & color.
Best salon in Stearns County hands down. Even my mens haircut is expensive, but they are so much better than the competition that its actually worth it. I've went here for my cuts since I was 21 and have never felt unsatisfied.
Love this salon! Great stylists and atmosphere. Always a great experience and leave with beautiful hair! Cannot recommend enough ❤️
Love coming to Poppy Salon. My stylist,Sam, always makes me feel & look awesome making me feel more like a friend when I leave. She is so good at what she does! The workers behind the front desk have always been friendly & helpful also. I would definitely recommend this place to others! ❤️
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 am a new client at Poppy. May is my stylist and she makes my hair look great! This is a beautiful salon! Everyone is very friendly! I am glad to be here!
Alysa was wonderful. She listened and understood what I was looking for and had good opinions on the direction I should go with my hair. Highly recommend!
Poppy just gets better and better. I feel so welcome, comfortable and taken care of. There's luxurious little add-ons like the quartz mask that make a haircut feel like a spa day. I always have the best day and get the absolute best color and cut thanks to Jenn! I've been coming here for 4-5 years and I love it so…
Poppy is awesome place to get treatments. All staff are friendly and welcoming. Very service oriented. The beverages and treats are a wonderful amenity they provide for their guests
Jordan was amazing! She gave me a relaxing wash with a little massage, added deep conditioning for $20, and trimmed my dry ends while thinning my hair but keeping the length. She made sure I was comfortable and the water was just right. Plus, there were free snacks and drinks! Highly recommend—I’ll definitely be back.
Such a great salon. I’ve been going here for a while now and frequently see Alyssa and every once in a while Courtney, both are great at their work!
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.
Alex is the best! I have been going to her for over 5 years and my hair looks and feels the best it ever has!
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…
wonderful salon with wonderful people working there! they welcome you in and make you feel special!!
Everyone at Poppy Salon provides exceptional service. The attendees at the front are so very pleasant and helpful. The stylists are professional and very knowledgeable. I am always in good hands!! I appreciate their expertise on products and things that will be best for me! The salon atmosphere is wonderful and…
Great place, nice comfortable environment. Experienced and knowledgeable stylists.
Sam is such a pro, she is efficient and attentive and rocks my hair with exactly what I want every single time. I am well taken care of and I always leave happy. I love Poppy salon so Frikkin much!!!!
I came in the salon today for a haircut. I am trying to grow my hair out for a specific style and Sam has been awesome making all the in-between hair cuts look so nice.
