Mina's Studio

I had my hair done by Shelia today and she did a fantastic job! The highlights are great and the cut is excellent. I am moving away from the area and feel that I need to share the word about my wonderful experience with Mina's. I always remember at the last minute that I need my eyebrows waxed and Mina's is always able to fit me in before my hair appt. Shelia is incredible with both her coloring and cuts as well as product recommendations. I like that Mina's carries products from Aveda and Bumble and Bumble (I'm omitting others since these are my faves) and Shelia has always recommended the best of each line if I need shampoo, conditioner or a stylng product but even more important, she does not pressure as some stylists do. I was disappointed today since the front desk did not have me checked in for my appointment as scheduled so Shelia and I got started late on highlights. Shelia was incredibly apologetic and acommodating and even more importantly, did not rush through my highlights as some would have in a similar situation. She even discussed the problem with the owners so that similar complications did not happen to other clients. I would defintely, no reservations, tell my best friend to see Shelia for her next color and cut!

If you are looking for some lively haircut, i would highly recommend Tsafi. She is a really good listener, and has absolutely no egos. I had a great hair designer in atlanta and after moving here i had been dreading to try out new hair salon. I was recommend this salon by a friend of mine, and thanks to her i found Tsafi. I told Tsafi that i want some lively haircut since i am tired of just simple layers. She gave me an excellent razor cut with lots of bouncy layers and an angled look on the front !!!! I love my hair even more now and have got lots of compliments from my friends. Thank you Tsafi you are the best !!!

Ever try to color your own hair? I did, and then promptly set up a free, yes free, consultation with my stylist at Mina's. She explained in detail how she could fix it......but not then! My confirmed appointment had to be cancelled by an out of town emergency. When I called for a new time, Stephanie had no availability, but suggested her sidekick, Holly! I won in all respects....they spoke about my hair before I came in and exchanged thoughts throughout the process. I came out better than I had been before this all started!!!!! Thank you ladies, for laughing with me, not at me, and for making me better. You are the best!!! I went to another shop in the galleria where I ran into a new Chapel HIll resident. She complimented me on my hair....cut and color.....and I pointed her directly to Mina's and my ladies!

Mina's Studio is an amazing place to get your hair done. I just moved to town and was looking for a new stylist when someone recomended Mina's. It was a great experience and Jesse was the best. I am now devoted to Mina's. Thanks!

Pros: Great people, great service!

Cons: None!

I just got my cut and color done at Mina's Studio last week. Wow! It was the best experience I have had at a salon in a long time. I made an appointment there on a friend's recommendation. Everyone looked stylish and professional. The front desk was very friendly and helpful with all my questions. My stylist really took the time to design a look for me that is easy to style and flattering. I have complete strangers come up to me and ask me where I get my hair done. I already made my next appointment (something I never do). If you are wondering what the buzz is about with this salon, check it out. You won't be disappointed.

Pros: Great service, good location, punctual

Cons: Difficult to get appointments on short notice (plan ahead)

I was not impressed by my first visit to Mina's Studio. I found the atmosphere to be very bland, the staff was not as professional as hoped and the prices for a haircut and color much too high for the quality. For what I paid, I would have expected to leave the salon feeling relaxed and beautiful (if only for a short while), but I left feeling ripped off with an urgency to find a new beauty salon.

I am absolutely appauled that there are no responses to the bad comments. A respectable business would try and get back the clients they lost by readjusting their staff and offering a deal or a free service. Obviously Minas has no clue and if they make it 2 more years in the business I will be shocked. Get off your high horse and hire people who truly care about their job and the customer, who pays your check!!!!!! I recently got married in October 2007 and had a terrible experience at Mina's. I was unhappy with my wedding updo and the stylist could have cared less. I feel as if he wanted to do what he wanted to do and it didnt matter what I wanted. I was almost in tears until the other stylist, the only nice one that I came into contact with, I had 6 girls with me and went around to all the stylists, knew that I was upset and at the last minute changed my hair. I really appreciated her but if I had told, ENRIQUE, I am sure that he wouldnt have cared. I will not recommend this place to anyone. I paid good money and did not get my moneys worth. PLEASE save yourself the time and money and go somewhere else!

Pros: good water

Cons: expensive, unhappy, most important day of my life stressed

I'm just amazed at some of these reviews. First of all, thank you to whomever took the time and energy to relay positive reviews about Mina's Studio. Often, we focus on the negative and people are more apt to state the bad stuff. It takes more energy to be positive, so many people are lazy and default to being hateful. Secondly, To the people being hateful: when you gripe about customer service and bad attitudes, are you looking at yourself to see how you are treating the staff? Perhaps they may have been rude - we all have bad days - but perhaps is it possible that in fact, you, the client, could have been difficult to deal with? Perhaps you brought something into the fray. And I'm sorry to tell you, but the customer is not always right. Those who say that are willing to get anything to get your money. Mina's apparently is not like that. It seems they step up for their employees and try to be on their side,while trying to be fair. And finally, I have been a loyal customer to Mina's Studio for the past year, and I have seen how busy and noisy it can be. But it's a popular salon! And people love to talk to their stylists! And I saw that one of the reviewers listed a "con" as having to wait in line at the front desk. Please everyone, have patience, compassion, forgiveness, and humor. And honestly, from one who has been in the customer service business for many years, I realize, as should you, that one bad review from one isolated experience can ruin the reputation(and income!) of those who are truly doing a great job, and may have had nothing to do with the one bad apple. Thank you for reading...

Pros: knowledgeable, friendly staff, open late evening and weekends

I've been searching for a stylist and salon I feel comfortable with for a few years now since my old stylist left the salon I used to frequent. I ended up coming to Mina's in March based on good online reviews, and I've been coming back ever since. My stylist is Heather and she's great at giving me a cut that not only works with my hair type but also fits in with my personal style. You get the sense that she really listens to you during the consultation. I've also had my hair cut by Enrique, who is less talkative during the consultation but is excellent at what he does.. he pretty much gets down to business and makes you look good. What I like about both Enrique and Heather is that they give me a style that's appropriate for my age (early 20s).. not too boring/conservative. I haven't had any issues with the front desk staff, they've been nothing but friendly and courteous with me. It's easy to relax in the salon, I like that the atmosphere isn't too snobby (which I've had an issue with at other salons in this price range). The staff isn't pushy with the products at all, but will gladly recommend items for you if you ask. I've seen a whole range of people who come to Mina's, mostly women, a few men. I'd say that most of the clients tend to be older than myself. All in all, I think Mina's is well worth the drive (I live about 30 minutes away) and the money (on the pricey side for me, but you get what you pay for). Definitely my favorite salon out of all the ones I've tried!

Pros: professionalism, service, good staff attitude, excellent stylists

Cons: slightly pricey

I have had a couple of massages from both Heidi and Sara and eventhough they have very different styles, they both were excellent. Each of them gave me tips on how to keep my muscles and skin healthy. I would highly recommend both and hope to see them soon! What a great addition to Mina's studio

Pros: Nice, attentive service

Cons: front desk can be a little aloof
