Its always so clean and refreshing everytime I walk in the building, it's always so warm and welcoming! Plus next to the entrance is a beauty craft shop so that's always handy when needed, personally I'd recommend coming here for getting a hair cut or nails done

Great hair cut at Sy Hair Studio! Very professional and pays attention to detail. This is the best haircut I’ve had in the twin cities. She did a color treatment and cut for my wife as well and she loved it!
