Reviews of ACCOLADES SALON SPA in Highland Park
Kate Slocum
We were in town dropping off our older daughter at college. Our 16 year old wanted to get a good hair cut before we returned home, so she looked up reviews at Accolades and we booked online. We got an appointment with Kelly. She was amazing! She talked to my daughter the whole time, listened to exactly what she wanted (she has thin wispy hair), and taught her how to style her hair herself. We were super impressed with the rest of the staff as well. Thanks for such a warm and high-quality experience.
Melissa L
Had an excellent blow out and style from Lamy. It was honestly one of the most relaxing blow dry experiences and she added flat iron curls that stayed ALL day and night. She even offered to show me how to do them. She was so great, I will definitely be back to see her!
Kelly Jones Hicks
My stylist, Sam, brings my hair vision to life. We have a good relationship and she’s a good listener. I give her a few of my hair ideas and she gives me a beautiful cut! I love the facial with the shampoo step. It’s truly a spa day each time I visit Accolades Salon!
Amra Budimlic
Any time I have gone here, I have loved how my hair has turned out! It is so nice to have that trust when getting these services. I have had a handful of different stylists, and all have delivered great results!! I'm someone who has a lot of anxiety when it comes to my hair, due to past experiences, so it's great to now be at ease :-)
Courtney Brinkman
Came in with stressed out hair, from out of state, and with literally my hair breaking and falling out…I was anxious to say the least about how things would turn out! Kelly was amazing, kind/calm/professional…listened to me and gave great advice on how to cut my hair to maximize what was left while still being flattering. Great head massage with wash..environment of the salon was professional/stylish without being too intimidating. Highly recommend.
K OBrien
Angela gave an amazing self-healing facial. I enjoyed the lighter lymph massage and her energy was really positive and helpful. I left there feeling very happy and I'm going to see her again. The front desk person was very nice and I felt welcomed. Fun music too!
Victoria Gaines
Got a Groupon for an organic mani/pedi set as a treat for myself, wanting relaxation more than perfect nails, and I'm happy with my experience overall. The spa was nice, staff seemed friendly enough, and I did leave more relaxed than when I came. That said, my nail tech didn't seem to have a lot of experience doing nails. She asked if my nails were smooth enough after filing. I pointed out 6 that were jagged, and she kind of bounced the file on top of my nails to smooth the edges, which in turn filed the top of my nails making them less smooth. The paint job is less than perfect (i.e., paint bubbles and smudges), which again, doesn't bother me much considering my reason for booking the service. But, I'd recommend specifying that you want an experienced nail tech if you are looking for a beautiful paint job.

I recently moved to MN and I am glad I found this place. Got my first haircut in my new home state today and Melissa did an AMAZING job on my hair. 10/10 would recommend.
sarah Reasoner
I had a bad haircut a couple weeks ago. Melissa listened to my frustrations, took the time to explain what she saw, and how she wanted to fix it, and make sure I was comfortable with it. It turned out exactly how I wanted and I couldn't be happier.
Lia Maslow
I saw Marc for a massage. Honestly it was the best one I’ve ever had. I asked for a deep tissue massage and boy did he deliver! I left feeling so much better than when I came in. He’s professional, easy to talk with, and really knows what he’s doing. I’ll be back!
Kate Feider
Shelly was amazing!! she got all the brassy mess out of my blonde and brightened it up beautifully. the cut was great as well!!
Genevieve Zimmerman
My teenagers loved their cuts - hip friendly staff who were in touch with current styles and products. Both very happy customers!
Eric Mark
My stylist was extremely knowledgeable, recommended the right product to compliment my cut, and taught me how to use it. Could not have asked for a better experience!
Wendy Maslowski
I've seen both Sam & Shelly! Highly recommend! Sam pampered me soooo pretty today. Thank you Accolades for all the special touches!
Annabel
I’m super disappointed in my recent experience with Accolades. My manicure was terrible. While receiving this service, I could tell the young lady was inexperienced due to the fact that she was leaving MULTIPLE areas of my nails without polish, like she was nervous to get any on my skin. As she was finishing up, I looked at one hand and noticed bumps, missing spots, and terrible brush strokes. I asked her to fix it and she just went over a few fingers and called it good.
These pictures are from 1 day after getting my nails done. Multiple paint chips from the young woman going over it too many times to try and fix them, already look grown out cause she didn’t paint the whole nail.
I sent good money on this “organic manicure” and the results are terrible.
*UPDATE*
Manager reached out and gave me a free manicure with a senior nail technician and was super kind about it.
Emily Brichacek
From the moment I called to schedule my appointment to the moment I checked out I had the absolute best service!! Not only were the staff professional they were incredibly knowledgeable and as crazy as it sounds fun!! I haven't had that much genuine fun at a salon in years! Most of the time I cannot get in and out fast enough. So not the case with Sydney and Emily today!! I will be telling EVERYONE Accolades is the place to go! In fact a half hour after I left the salon two complete strangers complimented my hair and my brows!!! There's a much needed pep in my step and I thank Sydney, Emily and Accolades for this! ✨✨
Betsy Burfeind
Always love my hair!! I love the atmosphere here. I’m always greeted by such a friendly and professional desk staff. I go to Josy and she always puts in so much thought and effort to give me the best color treatment, she is truly an artist! I’ve also seen other stylists and always been happy. I’ve gotten professional makeup done by AJ for a few weddings I have been in and from the beautiful eye makeup to the flawless airbrush application, I have always been thrilled. She truly makes everyone look like the best version of themselves for their special occasion. I couldn’t recommend this place more.
kelsey livermore
Went in as a new client for a simple haircut. I needed about 5 inches taken off to get rid of all the damaged ends. Lamy did a great job framing and layering my hair just the way I like it. Very reasonably priced, and friendly service from the second I stepped in the door. I'll definitely be going back!
Erin Olson
The service is super friendly and wonderful (5 stars for that), and my hair style/makeup experience with Chloe was excellent (5 stars), but the two mani/pedis I have had here were both 2 stars. It comes down to the quality of products and end result that hasn't been great with the manicure/pedicures. Last week i went in on tuesday night, I had to go back to fix a nail wednesday at noon, and the fixed nail then bubbled up within 12 hours (see picture taken the next morning from my manicure). My cuticles still look rough and the rest of the polish began peeling off by friday. Now a full week later my nails look yellow tinged from the base coat. One week after pedicure the polish is yellowing so need to remove. However the hair and makeup by Chloe was so stunning and the people so friendly, I have to give the place a 4 star review with the hopes they will improve their nail service!!
Tara Fortune
Best experience ever having my hair washed, and receiving a facial and head massage during a salon service!! Excellent job, Melissa🙌 …
Ani Cardot
Love this salon! And I’m not just saying that because I used to work there ;)
Lola is awesome! Always gives me the best colors and cuts!
vishwash patel
If you are really looking for good hair color book Sam’s appointment. She will not disappoint you.
Joy Jacques
I saw Shelly for a color removal, layers of box colors from red to violet. My hair is coming in gray and the line between the gray and dark purple was too strong. Shelly used microfoils and pulled the old color from most of my hair. Now I have a wonderful range of colors that looks very natural and blends in well with my incoming gray. I couldn't be more happy. She cut and styled my hair as well. The salon has a great vibe and lots of good stylists.
Jennifer Evenson
l love the edgy decor of the shop. Was my 1st time there. Was greated and offered a beverage on entrance. I was impressed by the amount of services offered and the cleanliness of the shop and the friendly staff. I got a full foil by Marc he did a great job as always, as he's done my hair before. I absolutely love my hair! Highly recommend, will be back.
Naomi Teetzel
Always always always have a good experience at Accolades! I’ve had multiple stylists here and have been so happy with my hair every time. Great customer service too!
Randi Rankl
Marc did an amazing job fixing my hair after DIY bleaching left me with tons of breakage. He was really, really fun to work with and I left feeling amazing. I would 10/10 recommend him! :)
Leah Dunston
Shelly is AMAZING! I did a cut and balayage and am in love with my hair. The salon itself is nice, modern and everyone there was friendly too.
Nicole Franke
Christopher is amazing. Best curly haircut I think I’ve ever gotten. He did a color match on me that was perfect as well. Highly recommend him!!
Vic
Very professional! The staff is friendly and Sydney has healing hands when it comes to skin care! I have never felt so respected and taken care of. Great experience!
Hailey Samples
Sydney did an amazing job for my first time waxing. I was nervous but she made me feel comfortable and I got amazing results.
Katherine Cook
This place was great! I just moved from memphis and loved it. Lainey did a great job with my highlights and haircut before my wedding day!
Manders Example
I am happy with my haircut I suppose I would be happy for haircut no matter what because it had been a year since I had a trim even but she was pretty quick oK job I paid $52 for the haircut I wish I had gotten more done for the $52 that I paid but I was very pleased with the place itself and they give you a scalp massage and stuff so that was pretty cool I loved it
Taylor Flak
Accolades is the salon that has changed the way I look at getting my hair done. (An exaggeration? Actually, no.) When I have an appointment at Accolades, I'm pampered, surrounded by smiles, and respected. I never feel guilty for coming in after I've doused my head in a box of Target hair dye or after I've decided to try & trim my ends on my own. Stylists are extremely talented and creative -- Josy has earned my complete & utter loyalty by ALWAYS executing my visions. Pricy? Yeah, but what do you expect? Every time I leave Accolades my hair feels a million times better & looks a billion times better. I have nothing but good things to say about this salon.
Rebecca Van Dyke
I was very pleased with how my stylist actually listened to what I wanted and we collaborated with my ideas to come up with just what I needed for the New Year, who cares about snow when your feeling fantastic! Bring on Winter with some spice!
Lindsay Nauen
Shelly is great People always notice my hair after she has done her magic. She really pampers you
Anonymous
This was my first time here. Lola did a wonderful job with my hair. I booked another appointment!!
Ellie Nelson
Accolades is the best!! Never been happier with my hair than when Sam has been doing it! She’s a magician with hair, and everyone at Accolades is so professional and on top of things. The atmosphere also has great vibes. 10/10 recommend!
Kristin Quinn
Great place! My stylist was awesome, the atmosphere was lovely, and it was an overall great experience.
Margaret Lais
like everything in post quarantine America, the price was exorbitant, but I loved the woman who cut and styled my hair. The ultimate compliment: It is growing in really well, meaning it only looks better over time! Nice place, unnecessarily fancy, but there ya go!
Christopher McDonald
Sam is a first rate stylist. Always does an excellent job with my hair.
Ann Tienor
I've been coming here for over a decade. Now, I've been bringing my toddler daughter here. Ani is amazing. So nice and talented! Emily cut my husband's hair; it's the best cut he's had in years! Jenny has been my long-time stylist there (she did my wedding updo, too. crazy talented!); I highly recommend her. Melissa is an awesome stylist, as well. I would travel from afar for their services!
Sarah Howland
Super happy with my haircuts and highlighting from Lamy! And I've learned to book early, as they get very busy.
Sake “Mallow”
Paige was so lovely and friendly! And my haircut looks wonderful as well :)
Chloé Knutson
This was my first time visiting Accolades and I wish I had found it sooner! Everyone was so kind during my visit and I love the haircut I got from Paige! She was thoughtful and attentive throughout my whole experience. She listened to what I was looking for in my new cut and executed it perfectly. Not to mention, our conversation flowed naturally and comfortably, which is a relief when you’re as introverted and quiet as I am. :) I left Paige’s chair feeling refreshed and confident. I definitely recommend Accolades and enthusiastically recommend Paige!
JL B
Was about to make an appointment, but noticed most of the photo's are edited using color & makeup apps/filters. Would rather see unedited photos of before & after with no added effects
Ally M
I had a wonderful time with Ani. She was super sweet and showed genuine kindness and understanding. I hadn't had a day to myself since before my 3yr old was born and believe me, I needed this Mani/Pedi. She also had an opening for me to get my hair trimmed and did an excellent job. Thank you so much!!!
Shannon Belmont
Ani did my hair and she was amazing! I have flat dull brown hair and she gave me the most natural highlights and lowlights to give my hair natural depth and pizazz. She is really talented.
Shari Schultz
Reasonable was awesome she is the 1st person in a very long time that has done it correctly. I highly recommend her.
Ann Nagle
Marc is like a surgeon with getting stress knots out of my neck & shoulders when I go I for a massage. He’s been doing this for a long time and is the best. I swear he can see right through my skin and figure out a way to massage knots out of very tense muscles. I’ve been honing to him for almost 2 years and I will never go anywhere else!
Robin w
I had a manicure and pedicure with Julie, who was fantastic. Julie was personable and friendly but I could tell she was a respectful person who would allow you to just sit in peace and enjoy your time if that's what you desired (we engaged in interesting conversation).
Julie did an excellent job with my nail services.
The reception staff were very friendly, as well.
The salon had Sunday hours which fit my travel plans very nicely.
Easy to find and a large, free parking lot.
The owner makes a product line of natural skin care which Julie used on my hands and I was so impressed that I purchased an item.
I would definitely recommend this salon.
Gabby Dunn
Josy is AMAZING. I have very thick curly hair and she does the best job every time. Accolades has the best customer service, I won’t go anywhere else!
Update: I also use Jenny at this salon and she is not only the sweetest, but also very detail oriented! You really can’t go wrong with any stylist. Every time I come here it makes me want to go to the salon more often! I feel so pampered and ready to go to any event. Thank you ladies!!
Bean Bag
My hairstylist that was cutting my hair today was Lola and she was so nice and cut my hair exactly the way I wanted and it was very beautiful I’m so happy with how it turned out
lisbeth coreas
I’ve been a regular client at accolades salon with a long time friend Paige for a year now. I am a low maintenance gal, that USED to get a hair cut once a year, if even.. But ever since I’ve touched base with Paige and started seeing her, in a year I’ve had 3 or 4 more hair appointments than the usual! I just don’t trust people with my hair. I usually let her recommend something and if I like it, we do it! I always leave feeling my best with a nice haircut and refreshed hair color. The rest of the staff is also so pleasant and attentive. I’ve found my hair salon, so give it a try!
B Johnson Photos Brenda Johnson
Best salon in St Paul! The mini facial while the wash your hair, is incredible. They also sell Clean Enhanced Organics hair care priducts. It's as good as Aveda but half the price.
Kendra Sampson
I’ve recently returned to Accolades after visiting multiple other area salons over the last few years. They have bios of all the stylists on the website which was super helpful to be able to find my previous stylist Melissa! I’ve gotten so many compliments on my cut, style, and color, even from other hair stylists! Melissa is so talented at what she does, but everyone at the salon is top notch. High quality service and high quality products. They always have treated me above and beyond. Highly recommend!
Jenny Koops
I have been here a few times and have had only good experiences. Today Melissa cut my hair for the first time and did AMAZING! She could tell exactly what I wanted based off my description and understood how to cut my hair based off the shape of my face, hair thickness, and needs. I am so happy with my hair cut for the first time in a while and will definitely go back to her! They also always give wonderful scalp massages during the wash and pre covid I remember getting a lovely facial as well. Will definitely be a returning customer and am excited to try out some of their other services.
Madeline McCormick
Best salon in the twin cities! I love accolades I’ve been going there for years and they always make my hair look lovely. I have curly hair and they are great at styling it!
Keshawn Waldoch
There’s so much I can say but I’ll keep it short. Marc is an absolute top tier barber not only is he clean and professional with his work he makes it chill and cool environment during a cut or styling. As long as he’s there I’ll keep coming and recommending my peers to you guys. 10/10
A Schoenefeld
I always have a great experience when I'm here. The stylists are knowledgeable and make me look fabulous and feel confident. The salon has an upscale feel but the people are friendly and welcoming. I usually go for my hair color and cut but I'd love to go here for nails and a massage too.
Justine Hill
I was very pleased with my experience here. Alicia was my stylist. She listened to what I wanted and explained what she was doing, each step along the way. I have curly, coarse, thick hair and she was knowledgeable about how to color my hair without further damaging it. She wasn't pushy about doing something I didn't desire, and allowed me to relax during the service. I typically don't enjoy having my hair done, but I had a wonderful experience and can't wait for Alicia to continue to care for my hair!
Kelsey Sutton
I had a really great experience at Accolades.
My stylist was Rhiannon and she was friendly, helpful, and very talented. She didn't rush through my balayage or the cut afterward, even when the salon closed and we were the last ones there. It felt like she truly cared about doing a good job.
Thank you for my new hair, Accolades and Rhiannon!
Sydney Keigley
Paige does such a wonderful job! I always leave satisfied and feeling my best! She listens to what I am looking for but always lets me know what she thinks will be best! 10/10 would recommend :)
Jillian Grensing
Lola is such a gem, I absolutely loved her work! She knows her stuff. With her advice, she prevented me from going too gung-ho blonde, like I originally sought for with my balayage. Which was unrealistic on my part with my mess of grown out boxed hair dye of dark brown/burgundy and premature gray hair sprouts. Others with less expertise may have blankly gone for it, but would have left me with three different hair colors on a single hair strand, or dye that left my hair pink or brassy orange. Thank you so much, Lola! I was nervous at first because it was my first professional, non box dye, hair coloring at 28, and I am so grateful for your help and knowledge. I now have the warmer golden coloring, JLo glow vibe I adore and love even more than what I originally sought for. Plus, it matches my dark eyebrows way better. A professional like Lola knows what’s in your best interest!
Great atmosphere, a sweetheart and welcoming receptionist that helped me with questions of Groupon and other pricing, and overall friendly staff. Highly recommend!
Britt McConn
Chloe made sure to discuss my preferences and did her best to make me comfortable. The massage may not have been as relaxing as it could have been but not sure how much of that was due to her technique and how much is from my knots. She seems a little inexperienced compared to massages I have had before, but worth the value of the Groupon.
EDIT after many hours of a sore neck and shoulder post massage that did not lessen, I've decided it was not the experience I was looking forward to.
Rachel
First time visiting this establishment. Everyone was friendly. Very short wait time then went right in for massage. Mark was great and did a fabulous job focusing on the problem areas. He is officially my favorite person of the day! Walked out feeling calm, relaxed and ready for a nap.
Steve Andrews
Melissa is always fabulous. I have a beard and not a lot of hair. She knows how to style and trim so I look a whole lot better than I did when I came in. I would always recommend going to her. Accolades is always top notch in service and in welcoming customers.
Ashlee Churchill
I had my hair cut and colored by Lamy and could not be more happy! Walking out the door, I felt so much more confident than I did walking in. She did such a great job and exceeded all expectations. I have not loved my hair this much in years!
Mya Lambrecht
I had an awesome massage from Mark.
And a great facial from Sydney.
Customer service was A+
Michelle Nicholson
Accolades is incredible! I highly recommend Chloe. I book with her every time and each time is a wonderful experience. The salon provides a very welcoming atmosphere with delicious tea and friendly receptionists. I prefer accolades to going to get a massage because by the time they are done coloring your hair, and providing you with a complimentary hand massage, scalp massage shampoo and mini-facial you feel extremely relaxed with a hair color that will give you confidence for an extended amount of time. Go to Accolades and book with Chloe, she’s the best!
Sue K
Full body Massage (80 minutes) was absolutely WONDERFUL!! But a stylist with very oud, clunky heels kept walking by the room and that was very distracting! But I would definitely go for the massage again, just might bring ear plugs!
Raquel Hanson
I’ve been going to see Josy for my color and cuts. She is extremely talented and truly listens to your wants and needs with your hair. My hair is in the best health it has been for years! I constantly get compliments on my color as well. I just can’t say enough good things about her and also the atmosphere of this salon. Everyone you encounter is friendly and inviting, the front desk is always so happy and upbeat and great about getting back to you. I'm always telling my friends and family to transfer their services over to either locations (accolades or women’s spa) and several people have and are equally as happy as I am!
Eleanor M
Sam is the best! She walks me through everything to clarify what I want AND tells me what she suggests will work best. She also is super fun to talk to which makes it a great experience since my haircut, full foil and color (this time Emerald green!) take 3 hours. I recommend Sam highly for a new you!
Maggie Thompson
My experience at Accolades exceeded my expectations! Their COVID-19 safety protocols are impeccable. I had the privilege to Shelly as a new client to the salon and it was the best hair cut and color experience I’ve had to date. She’s kind, talented, professional and meticulous. Highly recommend this salon (and specifically, Shelly!)
Jolene Reck
Shelly is the best! I've been coming to Accolades for years and have always been totally satisfied with stylist and my hair. PLEASE stop raising your prices or soon I'll no longer be able to afford to come there!
Meg L
I’ve been a client of Alicia’s for over a year now and every visit has been awesome! She does a great job with curly hair and is a really nice person who takes excellent care of her clients. If you’re a curly haired person, you won’t need anyone else after seeing Alicia!
Jessica Berry
I highly recommend this salon! I am a busy, tired mom of 3 and requested to not talk much during my appointment- the stylist did beautiful work on my hair and she only talked to me when necessary. I got a solid two hours of reading in and as a bonus, she gave me an amazing head massage. That was worth it’s weight in gold 😆 …
Lisa B
I bought two Groupons for my friend and I to have a gal's day at the salon. Megan was my hairdresser. Ah--mazing! I told her what I was looking for and she delivered. Her customer service was great and she is very personable. I absolutely LOVE the color. I'm trying to grow out my hair so she only trimmed the ends a bit. My friend had an 80 minute massage that she thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you Accolades for wonderful service and a great experience! Megan, I will be back to see you.👍😊
Teri Recht
My hair was many colors from me trying to go from brunette to blonde. I have really thick hair and Megan, bless her heart, took the time needed to highlight and fix my home coloring treatment. She also gave me an excellent hair cut that feels great! Thank you so much Megan and Accolades. I feel pretty again!
Bruce Person
As always, Kelly was excellent! She always listens to what I have to say about my hair and what I want-and offers her input which I highly value. I continue to be extremely happy with her talents. All new safety standards have been set up in the salon, I felt 100% comfortable. I highly recommend Accolades and Kelly in particular!
Sofia Day
It was my first time at this salon and I loved my experience my hair stylist was amazing and so sweet! I will definitely come back again!
Sandy Blunt
Friendly service, nice clean place. Mani-pedi was okay, nothing outstanding. Nails cut a bit too short, but will grow fast enough.
Ramya Kambalapalli
I was so nervous about my hair cut due to past bad experience (from another salon not related to Accolades). I have been searching for good cut and colour for my hair, and finally found Accolades! I did schedule my appointment and finally got my hair cut done by Shelly, She is just amazing and is professional with her work. The quality of service matters a lot and I am satisfied with the work done on my hair and the staff is so welcoming! I was there for 1 hour and Shelly does wonders to hair with her magical hands and Scissors! I am waiting for my hair colour to be done and hoping to be the best as well!
Maggie Gray
After color mishaps, bad cuts and spending $$'s on my hair, I was totally frustrated with most of the "high end" shops in the Twin Cities and suburbs. You tell the stylist what you want? I even ended up with NOT silver toned hair at one shop but purple! I left the shop with purple hair. The stylist had NO idea why. I waited a year before I would let anyone touch my hair again. I found Accolades and said I want the best colorist you have, the top person, the one who trains others. Josie! Well, two cuts and colors in, I'm stunned at the beautiful pixie cut I dared to do and the silver tones in my hair are gorgeous. I drive to St. Paul, love the location, the scalp and neck massages, the hand treatments, but most of all? Josie. Nothing more be said. Five stars for a five star individual. I highly recommend Accolades to anyone wanting the BEST treatment and service you can find.
Sarah Cowan
I love Accolades Salon. I have been going there for years and continue to be impressed with it.
Samantha Ross
I've been going to Accolades for my hair for over ten years now, seeing Jenny, and I have always had good experiences. I love the mini-facial that comes with a haircut...really makes me feel like I'm pampering myself. I've also started seeing them for hot stone massages, and they're fantastic, as well. Service has been great...even though I've moved out of the Highland Park neighborhood, I keep coming back to Cleveland and Randolph to take care of myself. :)
E Olson
Sam is amazing!! I see her for my hair and nails. She is so talented, sweet, friendly, and attentive.
Rebecca Bowers
Ive been going to Accolades for about a year and love this salon. Chloe Rock is my stylist and she is wonderful and does amazing color. I would know as Ive been many colors. She thoughtfully talks with clients to make sure she understands what you are looking for and delivers results. The salon staff are all very professional and friendly. Wholly recommend this salon.
Laurel Larkin
Tiffany gave me a partial foil and I absolutely adore it. She listened to what I said and she expanded on it- she’s creative and has a good eye for color and beauty. I am simply loving my hair. She was personable and made me feel “liked”😊 …
Caitlin
It’s so hard to find a stylist that you feel so good about going to over and over...
Sam is awesome - she’s a keeper! We talk and get on the same page about the style before and during the cut. Crucial. Her skills and techniques are A+! I don’t color my hair, but she’s highly skilled in that department, too. I’ve got super fine hair, btw...
A nice salon and cool owner, too :)
Cheral Druck
I love Accolades Spa. I'm not sharing who my stylist is though otherwise I'd never get an appointment with her :) - but she's fabulously talented. She listens to what I want, she proactively keeps my look fresh and current, and she's a great conversationalist. And I've never had to wait more than a few minutes past my appointment time.
PE Y
Always feel prettier when I leave Accolades. Staff friendly, service not rushed and great cuts, color, service.
I'm not sharing my stylists name, besides they're all good.
In my opinion, Accolades is perfect.
I've been a 6-8 weeker at Accolades for 2+years. I'll bring in pictures of cuts to see if they'd look good on me. My fave stylist will be patient while I try to find the cuts on my phone. Now I just hand it to her, she finds them much faster.
My picture styles are picture perfect cuts. Now to see how I can look more like the model in the picture.
Staff are friendly helpful. Going to the beauty shop is enjoyable.

I have had my hair cut with Paige three times now. She listens to my concerns and always respects what I am comfortable with doing, even after having gone 2 years without a hair cut prior to seeing her for the first time. At my most recent appointment, I decided to cut my hair much shorter than what I am used to. I am obsessed with it. Paige does an amazing job! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a stylist that they can stick with.
Raquel Hanson
I regularly see Josy for my hair color and she is the absolute best! I trust her completely! I just got a facial for the first time with Alicia and it was so relaxing and my skin feels amazing! I will absolutely be putting that into my regular routine services.
Mary Karlsson
Excellent hair cut as always. I keep my hair short and have been going to Accolades since 2010. My hair is extremely straight and heavy, and my stylist does a great job of shaping and thinning. Each time I have an excellent experience and my cut grows out beautifully. Thank you, Accolades!
Devon Ericksen
I came here for the first time to get an all over red color with darker roots colored as well (friend referral). I’ve had a hard time finding a good red colorist. It either turns out too brown or just not the shade I desired. Jenny, my colorist and I talked it out before she mixed the color to make sure I’d get the desired outcome. My color turned out great and have gotten many compliments since! I definitely recommend this salon and especially Jenny!
Nikki S. (Nikynik345)
I got a facial and it was a relaxing and pleasant experience. My skin felt amazing afterwards. I'd recommend Accolades and plan to visit them again!
Jeni Margules
I have now been here three times for myself, recommended to a friend, and took my sister as a treat. I strongly recommend the salon for their friendly staff, attention to detail, and excellent work. The free facial is a nice added bonus. However, the reason that I will continue to be a returning customer is due to how welcomed I felt when I had to bring my baby to the haircut; it was encouraged when I called to schedule, he was held by all the staff so that I could relax, and the entire environment they created was a much-needed break for a new mom.
Joleen Kuchinski
Always a great experience at Accolades. It is the only place I have gone for my hair care for the last 7 years.
Susan Mitchell
I love love love my haircut and color. I am pretty sure I look and feel 10 years younger. I thank Josy who has been my stylist for many years of which I am forever grateful. Josy is excellent detailed, listens to every word and she thankfully offers new ideas which is wonderful. I am able to wear a mask comfortably. It has been 6 months since my last haircut as I was waiting for the right time to return. The salon is impeccable. The owner and stylists maintain a clean and safe environment which requires a lot of additional work. Also, the staff at the front desk are welcoming and have the best smiles! If you are looking for a new look and relaxation Acolades Salon is the place to be.
Mary Alderman
Lame was so accommodating. I had chosen a color for. My pedicure that I really disliked after it was finished and she very gladly undid the first set and let me chose another color. She did a very professional job I definitely would go back to her again.
Cai Lee
Samantha does my pedicures and hair color. Her massaging is fantastic. It's rare for me to relax and she's instantly got me feeling like a marshmallow. She's my go to for these services and can really have you rocking the fashion colors!
Ashley Jensen
This was my first time visiting the salon and I will definitely return! Alicia was professional yet easy going. I felt like I was in very good hands for my brow wax and cut. I did not feel pressured to buy products. It was a great experience!
vera kent
Absolutely awesome experience. It was easy to book online after hours with appointments all the way up to the next business day. Super friendly, chic environment full of busy women & men. Informative and attentive staff, a great range of products to purchase, and my hair turned out much better than I thought it would due to the knowledge & expertise of my stylist! Linnea is awesome and worked hard to help me get the hair that I wanted in the appointed amount of time. She was thorough, light-handed and made conversation easy for someone as shy as me. 10/10 will come back again.
Alexis Philipp
I absolutely love Accolades Salon and highly recommend seeing Chloe Rock there. I have been going to Chloe since she started cosmetology school and have always been able to trust her with my hair. I consistently leave her chair feeling brand new!
Accolades Salon also has a very nice staff and the ambiance is pleasant. Highly recommend.
Amber Skogsberg
I have FINALLY found my salon! At long last it has happened. I've always searched for the place with THE stylist that is my person. Accolades you nailed it! Drea was phenomenal. I got a pretty pedi that was so relaxing and turned out beautiful.But the icing on the cake was the cut and color. Oh mylanta I love me some dark hair and Drea knew just what to do to give it dimension but with the rich dark color love. She was so thorough talking to me about her suggestions and the process BEFORE she did a thing. I understood exactly what she was planning beforehand. To top it off she is so lovely and down to earth.
Katelyn Crooms
Marc R colored my hair, and he was very professional the whole time and made sure everything was saturated thoroughly! He gave me the best color I’ve ever had, very satisfied!!
Travis Hayes
Accolades is just an amazing place to go and get some self care done! Alicia is amazing and so personable! Her haircuts are phenomenal and I always get complimented every single time she cuts my hair! If you’re looking for a new place to get some self care done, go to Accolades!!
Randi A
Hip, bustling salon. The owner is really nice and visits with customers. He supervises new stylists. I got a great haircut! (And they have REALLY good coffee). Will definitely go here for my next service.
Karen Thompson
A very young feel - great place to go for hair treatments, makeup, etc. I went for a massage. My massage therapist was quiet, calming and very strong. You could tell, though, that the massage piece was really an after thought. I could hear the loud music outside of the private room I was in and it wasn't the most peaceful environment. I likely won't return for a massage, but I may try them out for other things!
Emily Chelimsky
My middle-school aged daughter REALLY wanted a particular cut before school starts this year. It’s and edgy look, so I wanted to make sure it was done right. A client of mine recommended Accolades, so I checked their website. I was impressed by the measures they’re taking to keep everyone safe in the pandemic, so I booked the appointment. Sam was her stylist, and everything was beyond perfect. My daughter is thrilled, and she adored Sam. We’ll both be back and tell everyone to check out Sam and Accolades.
Dawn Westermann
My cuts and colors with Shelly over the years have been great! She listens to what you want to get done in your appointment, and she’s a perfectionist. She has a lot of experience and it shows, she knows her trade well. She’s a great gal and her scalp massages at the shampoo bowl are amazing! If there was anything posted less than a great review for her I posted, it was a mistake!
Mya Jewison
Stylist was awesome. Haircut was awesome. Everything turned out SO GOOD. Really friendly staff and amazing stylist experience. Definitely coming again.
aly wacks
Got my hair cut today with Josy and I’m so thrilled with the result! Unfortunately I had to come in because of a botched haircut and quasi-bang situation that happened last week at another salon.
Accolades was totally different!
Josy was so reassuring, did a thoughtful consultation with me, looked at all the pictures I brought and answered all of my questions (I tend to ask a lot). I felt like our communication was great and she understood exactly what I was going for. She made a plan with me to come back soon and improve the haircut even further after some of the bad layering (from the other salon) grows out. She even talked about styling with me and did some verbal troubleshooting about how I usually style my hair, and recommended a nice brush to me that they sell in the salon and taught me about types of hairbrushes too.
I got a mini facial from her too and that was so nice, and I was so happy to hear that the products they use in the salon are more natural with minimal ingredients. Everything she used on me felt, looked and smelled great. Plus, they make great coffee there! :)
I really can’t compliment Josy enough, she totally saved me! I will definitely be back and I’ll probably drag my boyfriend in with me to get his hair cut next time too, lol.
This me That you?
I had a haircut by a young lady named Jada A.
I recommend her services. She is a great women very professional she did better than anyone else I've gotten my hair done by.. I have ALOT of hair.. She did not rush me.. Or go crazy with the length i wanted off.. Like some stylist..
Ill be back#!!
Great environment... I felt safe with the steps they took to keep us a safe distance away from each other
Amy Erickson
Lola has been my stylist from day one now two years ago! Up to finding Accolades I could never find the perfect salon. Such a great place and the best staff. They truly pamper you and listen to you!
Salima Janmohamed
Drea did an amazing job! I came in with what I thought was an impossible task of getting my hair dyed galaxy colours and she did a great job! She was professional, thorough and ensured I knew what was happening along the way so I could recreate the magic at home.
Selena Herr
It was great! Unfortunately, my stylist was out sick, but another stylist (Rhiannon) did my hair and I thought it turned out well for my first time experiencing doing a balayage on black hair. After a few weeks, the color has faded into a nice lighter shade, without any orange or brassy tones on the bleached parts of my hair.
Kat Ladwig
Rhiannon helped in deciding which hair color and coloring process would work best on me, and turned out great! Fun, professional atmosphere with friendly staff. Also had waxing done by Angela, and only person I will go to from now on- quick and painless with minimal irritation following our session!
Sara Carnes
I highly recommend Accolades Salon and Spa. I have been getting my hair cut and colored here for years. The balayages are on point and they take everything into consideration when doing your hair- your face shape, your hair texture and wave, etc. I hope Samantha never stops working with hair because she is my go-to stylist. I don't know what I would do without her! Make an appointment- you won't be disappointed. Don't forget to tip- these stylists work hard :)!
Victoria Remer
This place had tons of openings and could get me in fairly quickly during the week. It was my first time going here, and I was with Alicia. I told her roughly what I wanted and what was important for me with my hair i.e wearing it natural, easy to style, something new etc. She really listened to me and gave me the most amazing haircut and balayage. Will definitely be coming back here for my future haircuts.
Marcy Warren
I absolutely LOVE Accolades Salon and Spa. I have been coming here for just over 4 years and despite living further away now, I will not go anywhere else but Accolades! The customer service is outstanding. I love coming to get my hair cut and colored by Kelly, she is absolutely amazing all around (cut/color/stylist etc...) Even when I come in without a clear idea of what I want to do next, she always comes up with something truly great and totally fits my style. I definitely trust her because I've never been disappointed =). I always feel relaxed and truly have a wonderful experience at Accolades every time I visit.
The services offered and customer care and appreciation goes without saying - by far the best! Refreshed, relaxed, and rejuvenated - it's true.
Highly recommended!
Lynda Iglesia
Sam was an amazing stylist. She asked all the right questions to best understand what I wanted and made sure that I got the desired effect I wanted. She had a most compassionate and empathetic personality. I not only was beautified but also felt better emotionally after engaging in conversation with her. I would highly recommend this salon, innovative products and highly skilled (kind) stylist.
Cathie Witzel
A friend and I visit Accolades for a manicure/pedicure every few months. Employees are friendly and the quality of the manicures and pedicures are pretty good. I only wish they'd get callous remover. My feet never end up quite as smooth as I'd wish.
me you
I love coming here! They are all so talented and have always left a happy customer. I really enjoyed having Megan as my colorist and was sad to hear that she is moving out of state, however I know that the other women there will take really good care of me! I have had the pleasure of also having Lola who is very talented and fun to talk to.
Jacqueline Tischler
I've been a client here for over five years. The staff treat me with the utmost care and respect, and the stylists are the best in the business! I usually see Jenny for hair color and cuts, but AJ, Josy, Melissa, Paige, Jamie, and Lola have all been tremendous as well. They're super fun to talk to, and very infornative about all things hair.
Cynthia McArthur
I had a massage here and found it to be an exceptional experience, especially during these COVID times. Scheduling was easy, standards were in place to ensure a safe and professional session. The person giving the massage was professional, friendly, followed good health protocols and was an exceptional masseuse. I will be going back there for more massages and would recommend this salon highly.
Alexandra Lanpher
I finally found LOLA!! My first visit my hair was a colorful mess! I’m talking random chunks of different colors. The time she spent making my hair look absolutely gorgeous, I’m so grateful for. The confidence I finally had back! Her skill and technique level shows loud & clear! She is a perfectionist! I continue to see her and I will be coming back to LOLA for years to come!!
Highly recommended! She is welcoming, sincere and lovely. Thank you always for the great experience and I will see you next month!
The entire Accolades Salon is taking the Covid-19 safety very serious. Thx!
Rebecca Daniels
I always look forward to my time with Alecia! She is an awesome stylist. She has great color ideas and is so fun to chat with! All the staff are very friendly and helpful. I love booking online. Highly recommend!.....still loving my awesome stylist!! She’s the best!! 2021
Rynn Burke
Fantastic staff, Paige does amazing work on all sorts of hair. The Salon has gone over and above to socially distance Sandi clean between client. Still managing to give excellent one on one service! Great place right here in the Village!
Katherine DuGarm
In my experience, the stylists are artists outside of work. Sculpture and painting. for instance. Fortunately for me, they also work in the medium of hair and nails.
I have been going to Jenny for years now. She knows my cowlicks and wave patterns. When I want my hair longer or shorter, she is able to work around those features to get a cut that behaves.
During this time of COVID, I have been reassured by the plexiglass dividers, air purifiers, extra cleaning, and other measures to keep customers and employees safe.
Kelly Haase
Had a haircut today with Samantha. She was super friendly and easy to talk to, very knowledgable and listened to my requests and desires. The overall experience from check-in, to complementary mini facial during my hair wash, to cut and style was all delightful. Plan to go back and would highly recommend!
Hannah M
Received an awesome haircut, deep conditioning treatment, and styling lesson from Mick today! He didn't just cut my hair and send me on my way - he offered great tips and tricks for me to use when I'm at home and want to style my naturly wavy hair. It was a really great experience and I'll definitely book another appointment with him in the future. The salon itself is very pretty and comfortable and they offer all of the salon services I'm looking for (for me specifically facials, massages, manicures/pedicures, and hair services). I'd highly recommend this salon and Mick!
M K
Chloe here is great! She was very patient and helpful when I decided on the last color before a wedding that I wanted to brighten the color after months of doing the same thing. Everyone who works here is always kind and accommodating and there's a parking lot. Chloe also had a great recommendation for my S.O. to get his hair cut before our wedding and it turned out wonderfully!
Gambelian Gambelian
I was really happy and excited for my birthday they gave me a good discount however, it was the first time I got hair service I usually go there for a massage service. I got a root touch up but it did not go well I went from a golden blond, which I loved and did not want to change to a dark brown I trusted the stylist who suggested that she will mix two colors to bring up my color. I trusted her SHE is the PROFESSIONAL. I guess you can PAY to ruin your hair I am not happy at all I will never do my hair there again I don't even know what to do with my hair now and I have to wait for at least six weeks to change it. I just have to go to my hair lady that I have been going to for years I was just trying something, different for my birthday, which did not go well. However, loved the massage and facial service I got Place is nice and clean except for the lack of diversity Its all Caucasians, I've been going there for years they offer tea, coffee, water mostly to their Caucasian customers I had to ask for my tee.
Everyone’s experience is different because, we all are different their workers act like they never seen a black person in their life. They give this fake Minnesota Nice smile and I’m like don’t give me your fake smile give me a good service for my hard earned money I’m PAYING for it. Nonetheless, they ask for a feedback but no manager got back to me after I expressed my disappointment of receiving a bad hair service what is the point of asking for a feedback if they do not improve their service???? I love Aveda products and I spend a lot of MONEY on it and I also go there to get service not with my sister. It’s supposed to be a place people feel extra beautiful and pampered it can be stressful sometimes because of how some of the workers treat some customers. The truth is that I loved Accolades Salon few years back and I do not even go as much anymore.
Wendy Maslowski
I had a wonderful Pamper Me Pretty day and loved it! First, a new doo with Shelly that's fabulous and followed by a phenomenal massage with Marc! Hats off for making me feel so great 👍 …
Rachel Weeks
Getting my hair cut at Accolades feels like a mini retreat. The professionals are top-notch, and I don't plan to get my hair cut anywhere else or with another stylist ever (this had not been the case prior to coming to Accolades). I also appreciate their natural products, which are so hard to find in this space. Keep up the great work!
Trainlover476 Productions
Accolades Salon is amazing. I've been getting my hair done for 25 years and have been to many Salons and Accolades by far has been the best. I see Kelly C. and she is amazing with color and cut. Highly recommend!!
Laurie Hovde
I saw Jenny for a haircut. I will attend my son's wedding in a few weeks and it was important to me that I got a good cut. Jenny paid close attention to my wants/needs/concerns. I feel I got a very precise cut from a seasoned and talented stylist. I think I like the cut very much. But...you know the saying...the difference between a good cut and a bad cut is 2 weeks!!
Ann Engebretson Nagle
I went to Marc for a massage because I carry so much stress in my shoulders and after almost a year of a global pandemic, the knots were unbearable! Marc was incredible and found & released knots I hadn’t even felt yet. He is so smart and skilled at what he does. I could see him move my body to help get to those deep and long standing knots and it was truly amazing. It was honestly one of the best massages of my life & he helped give me tips on how to reduce those knots in the future. I’ll be making regular appointments with him.
Drip Doge
Alana is awesome! She is extremely upbeat and personable and always makes you feel welcome immediately. I got to know her about 6 years ago when I came to do my make up for an event. She transformed me. She has an amazing gift for creating different make up looks! I use her skills for many different events. She has also taught me how to do my own make up. I used to see her for only make up applications but now she does hair too. I had never colored my hair and while she was training got it done by her. I was in awe. I looked like a different person and received many compliments. Since then, I have referred many friends and they were equally happy.You won't go wrong by seeing her! She will amaze you!
Lauren Wikstrom
I've been going here for 2 years and I've been very happy with each visit. The website has a profile for each stylist which helped me find one that specialized in the service I was looking for (Lola, who is awesome). The atmosphere is professional, clean, and each staff member I've conversed with is friendly. I don't go anywhere else to get my hair done!
Nachia Yang
A very welcoming and chic place! Doors we're wide open when I arrived. Such a great way to invite in customers. Got my Groupon main/pedi for here. Such a great deal! Staff is very professional, kind, and fun. The only thing I would say is if you're getting a glitter coat on top of your polish make sure your nail tech sticks to the color or coating amount as shown on the finger test. After she finished my pedi it wasn't exactly like the test we agreed upon. My glitter coat was overly done on my toes, though it looked very pretty. It looked more gray than white. I didn't quite notice that until we started my mani session. So I had her do less glitter for my mani and it looked a whole lot better. Overall, my nail tech was very sweet, attentive, and understanding. I had fun with her. Would definitely be back for more!
Amanda Sicoli Mills
I love this place!
A few years ago, I was a wandering beauty-salon-frequenter with no loyalty to a particular salon or stylist. Linnea ended up covering last minute for the stylist I was supposed to see and it was love at first cut. I finally let her give me whatever cut she thought would look best and I am never going back. My hair looks fun but professional and is so easy to maintain. She keeps me up to date with the new trends and makes sure my hair color enhances my natural tones without looking too "done up." Going to see Linnea is like meeting a girlfriend for drinks but walking out with fabulous hair.
Accolades in general is a soothing place to visit. The receptionists are always friendly and they make the best coffee. Make sure to get the mini-facial at the bowl while they wash your hair. You will instantly feel as though you have been transported to a day spa.
Ginny DiNovis
I have gone to Accolades for over 10 yr to get haircuts. I have used Brad extensively and also Johni Z when he worked there. I have always felt that I was treated like a queen there and received nothing but the most professional service and care. Everyone who works there seems to work as a team to give customers a great experience. I love the mini facials and the extra time that Brad takes making sure my cut is perfect and meets my satisfaction. I have really come to trust Accolades and recommend this salon highly to all looking for a full service salon.
I recently had a hour massage with Brook and it was wonderful and so relaxing. I will certainly return for another massage.
This salon is always up on trends and I know the stylists are well trained and have additional training after they are hired. You are in good hands here.
Allyson Cygan
I have had great experiences at Accolades for various things. I've gotten a great haircut there. Recently I went there to get my bridesmaid hair and makeup done, and both were fantastic. I have fairly short hair, so I went not knowing what would make my hair look great for an occasion, but they managed to style my hair beautifully. I have had nothing but great experiences at Accolades. Thanks!
Sara Moylan
I have gone here after having a bad experience at on of the top salons in the twin cities and I have never left! They use gentle organic products on your hair, I had really damaged and broken hair when I originally came here now through Lola and her recommendations I now have health hair! The staff is friendly. It’s a trendy salon but the employees are the most caring and fun group. Thank you Accolades, for everything you have done for me! Lola is fantastic!!!!!
Joanna Hodder
I purchased a Groupon for a deep conditioning treatment, haircut, and blow-dry. The service was great from the start - check in staff was very friendly and welcoming! Megan was my stylist and she was a bit quiet, but did a great job with my hair. They also offer a complimentary mini facial while they wash your hair, which was nice. When I left, my hair looked great and was so soft - even three weeks later, still looking great!
Clare Tures-Haider
Kelly has SAVED my hair! After a Very VERY bad haircut at another Salon I was booked randomly with Kelly to save my bangs..and she is now the only person I will have cut my hair. The staff is SUPER welcoming, and the mini facial during the shampoo is a HUGE plus. This salon is fantastic and will have me as a client for life.
Mandy Huynh
I’ve been here more than three or four times with Julie P! She is phenomenal with hair! I’ve never had a bad experience, because she is always on top of things! She has gotten me to platinum blonde hair (from dark brown hair) along with giving me fun colors like purple or silver! I recently went back to brown tones and she always knows what I want! Her haircuts are also amazing! She knows exactly how to cut my hair according to my face frame. I will always go back to Julie!
ιndrιcaвlυrrмyιѕ X
Came here to get my makeup done for a date. Love Melissa! Everyone was so warm and welcoming. My first time and I loved it :) Will definitely come again!
Miaja Cassidy
I absolutely love Accolades. Kelley is so incredibly skilled in technique and vision. I have very difficult hair to get right. It’s extremely straight and a bad cut can be seen I’m 10 miles away. I can’t think of a time that I hadn’t gotten a compliment at least one time between cuts. I am so grateful.
Sonnet Neisen
I have been going here for about 4 years. The staff is very friendly and professional. The atmosphere is comfortable and they give you coffee, cappuccino or aveda tea while you are waiting. I have always had Kelly cut my hair and she is awesome. She doesn't seem like she is forcing conversation like some stylists do. She remembers the way I like my hair cut and does it perfect every time. I had her do highlights once, and they were the best highlights I've had done anywhere. The salon keeps a record of who you have seen and what colors they used for your hair. They also do a mini facial while you get your hair washed and it is so relaxing. The haircuts are a little pricey but not out of the norm for a nice place. I will never go anywhere else.
Molly Gardner
First haircut post covid and Alicia was amazing. She wore a mask the whole time and was able to give me a great cut without need for me removing mine. (I do pixies if that helps.) Alicia mentioned decisions made at the business to keep at or below capacity for the near term and keep everyone safe. She and the salon are amazing!
Toni Walker
When I moved back to Minnesota, finding a great hairdresser was a priority. I relied on reviews, and tried out a few salons. I live in Lakeville, so when accolades in St Paul came up on my search, I was hesitant.
I now have found my salon and my hairdresser! I would travel farther if I had to. Accolades is small enough to be friendly and the faces there are familiar.
But the hairdressers are all top notch...before my first appt I called to be referred to the best for short hair...both Kelly and Jenny were suggested. They are equal in skill. I have used them both, and referred them to many when asked about my ridiculously great haircuts! Don’t hesitate..this is a great salon!
Heidi Akpaette
I had such a great haircut with Lola! I am actually pretty picky about haircuts, being a stylist myself, and she gave me the best haircut I've had in years. She did exactly what I asked and was able to translate all of my instructions into a stellar haircut. I highly recommend her! (Plus she was pretty spunky and down to earth, which I enjoyed!)
Lisa Zollner
One of my favorite pampering events is to go see Paige Nelson at Accolades Salon Spa. All of the staff are so kind and I feel great after Paige works her magic on my hair. Paige listens to what I want and at the same time, knows that she can suggest hair cut and color ideas. If you need a new place to get your hair done, I strongly suggest you check out Accolades Salon.
Stephanie Carolan
I got a simple haircut and conditioning. All went smooth and I really enjoyed Emily! Thank you so much!
Jeremy
Very friendly. My stylist is incredibly good at making my hair match what I like it to be. It's great cause I am not good at describing things.
Tyler Penniman
Megan is a great stylist for men;s hair. I have somewhat hard-to -cut-well, thick hair, and she has always done the best work. I have gone in here for about 3 years and always left with a good haircut, also she has a great sense of humor. Great salon and good people. Give it a shot!
Vincent Chute
Thank you Josy!!!!I just had the best haircut experience of my life!!!! All because of you. My friends told me great amazing things about you and I had to experience your talent first hand!!! And you are excelsior!!! Josy cut my hair just how I dreamed it to be but even better than I dreamed. She took my disastrous hair and made it a wonderfully pretty thing to look at!!!
I recommend to ask for Josy it’s worth it and she will make you feel worth it!!! They were completely booked today and she decided to stay after hours for me and it feels so good to know she puts in all the extra effort to make sure I was being taken care of. And that was done above and beyond. I can’t wait for my hair to grow so I can go back and do it all again!!!!
Heidi Bakke
Do you need a little me time, some much do pampering? Stop by Accolades and they will rub your face, mist you with a cooling glow. And that's just the oooh aah of the complimentary facial that comes with your shampoo. I see Jenny and I feel very fortunate to have found her. I feel like my very best self when I leave her chair. The thing is I feel so welcomed by the whole staff. They smile and everyone around the room seems to be happy. And I have to hand it to their receptionists. This is your first contact with the salon and honestly I don't know many a business that is this pleasant to talk to over the phone, when you arrive, as you check out Fabulous!
Sarah Brunsberg
I have gone to this location numerous times for a facial because the first few times I went it was amazing. The staff there are great and I have always had a good experience with them. I haven't had as great of experiences with the owners. Specifically, Angela doesn't give the best facials compared to the other staff here. One of the facials is supposed to include a foot massage but she doesn't provide that service even though it is supposed to be part of the paid service. Besides those few experiences though this salon is well-run and has wonderful staff. I will return because I love the facials here. It is just a let down when you are hoping for one experience and get something different.
Eli Sanchez
Really great experience every time I get my hair cut.
They aren't uppity or standoffish which is what I have experienced at other small boutiques like this. The person at the front desk is always friendly and helpful, I have never had any issues booking appointments over the phone.
Alicia does great work so if you're a guy wanting a great 'do that doesn't look like you went to fantastic sam's or sports cuts, ask for her. Highly recommend going here for hair.
Elaine Howard
I have been going to Paige for a number of years. She give me the haircut I want and if Zi think it needs a little more tweaking she is right on it. I’ve always been satisfied with her work. Salon is ultra clean, limited clients and I feel safe.
Stacy
Josy is the BEST at what she does. I always get so excited for my appointment because I know how awesome I will look afterwards (plus she is so sweet and incredibly fun to talk to). The salon is always clean and disinfected and they go above and beyond for everyone's safety.
Colleen Clark
Went in yesterday for first consult and color/foils. Sam was amazing... She addressed all my concerns,was very patient and I left feeling pampered and so relaxed. Look forward to my follow up. Oh and I loved the lavender honey tea
Beth Wilson
I love Accolades Salon. It is a wonderful experience from the moment I walk through the door and am checked in. Hailee always does a wonderful job with my hair. It isn't a haircut, it is an experience. She is wonderful and sweet. I cannot give her enough kudos. I feel like I am at home and can go in whenever I am having a bad day and she always takes her time. I always get tons of compliments. Thank you Hailee!

I have been going to Accolades for almost 2 years now. I am always greeted with a smile and offered a beverage. Sam has been cutting and coloring my hair now and it is the best I have seen it in 5 years. I feel pampered and cared for during the entire experience every time I go in. Very happy with this salon.
Gina Jablonski
First time going and best haircut I’ve ever had!!! Highly recommend Drue as he did a great job and made me feel so welcome and comfortable. He was fun to talk with and I can’t wait to go back :)
Janet Hodnik
For the last 15 years, I have had my hair done at Accolades Salon and am seldom disappointed. Only once, in that time have I thought perhaps my hair could have been cut shorted. But the bright spot is that all you have to do is call them and they will take care of it for you within a reasonable amount of time.
My hair stylists have been professional, friendly, and uplifting. The products work great; plus you can have a face message no charge as well! What more can you ask for?
Travis Jay Hayes
I moved here and was so nervous to find a cosmetologist who would match my previous experiences and Alicia has done that. I have gone back to her so many times and I will continue to do so! She is amazing and I would recommend anybody to get their haircut from her!
Sherri Faiad
Lola is very talented and a kind and fun person to spend time with during the appointment. I always get complimented on my cut and color for how great it looks and works on me.
MK Neff
I absolutely love Accolades Salon & Spa!! I have had a wide range of services from massage, waxing, hair and nails. It's always a wonderful experience. The stylists are very knowledgeable and use great products. I keep coming back time and again. Keep up the amazing job and if you haven't tried them you should!! :-)
Tammy Krause Cruz
Paige hit it out of the park again - LOVE my hair and thoroughly savor the pampering I am given during my appointment. :)
Ann Wolf
I had a wonderful experience with Alicia, I had a facial that was relaxing and refreshing. She toned my hair to bring down the yellow of my bleached blond and trimmed it up for me. I left a more relaxed happier client. Will continue to go back.
Cassie Flesch
I personally see Jamie for all my hair style needs. She pays close attention to detail and takes the time to understand my exact wants. She’s professional and always does a fantastic time! She gives her input when asked and has great advice! Highly recommend an appointment with Jamie!
Jenny Johnson
Had my first haircut with Ani and it was a great experience from start to finish. I felt that Ani really listened to what I wanted out of my cut and did a great job giving me a fresh look. I am planning to book another appointment with Ani when summer comes.
Amelia Yager
Sam was amazing! I have insanely long hair which is sort of a security blanket for me so I don’t get it cut that often. She listened to what I had in mind but giving suggestions to keep my length and being able to have my hair be healthy as well, would recommend her 10/10!
Marie Manner
I go to Accolades for hair cuts and occasionally for coloring. I love getting the relaxing facial before my shampoo and my hair always looks amazing when Kelly is done with it, whether it's a regular 3 month maintenance haircut or to get it fixed from a different (cheaper and poorer quality) shop. I've been going for 3 or 4 years and I have never been disappointed. Once I was getting 2 very different colors done in my hair before a concert; when I wasn't quite happy with one of the colors my stylist redid it, no problems, until I was 100% satisfied. They really strive for customer service and to make your experience one that keeps you coming back - and it works!! I strongly recommend Accolades.
Patricia Andrade
Sam is amazing! She listened to what I wanted and what I didn't want, we made a plan together and it came together perfect! I love my hair and feel so pretty! My boyfriend loves my hair and that also means a lot to me. Every lady wants her man to notice the effort and thanks to Sam mine did. I'm so glad I found you Sam! I can imagine all the stylists are just as good if you need to feel and look pretty go to Accolades.
April Davis
My daughter and I came to Accolades for a morning of pampering with mani/pedis and a wash & style. We found the salon/spa on Groupon and couldn’t be more impressed! The service was amazing, and they even made accommodations for me with my Groupon since I couldn’t use all of it on this visit. Our nails and hair look beautiful and the atmosphere was welcoming and fun! We will definitely be back!
Mary Swenson
I have been going to Accolades since November 2017. The stylist I had for the previous 12 years died unexpectedly, so when I went to Accolades for the first time I was skeptical. I have only positive things to say and feel so fortunate to find you and, my stylist Josey who is the best. My services, cut, color and pedicure have been beyond my expectations. All staff have been very kind and helpful. I would absolutely recommend Accolades. Thank you.
Sarah J
Had my first visit to Accolades Salon tonight and I had a great experience. Chloe is super friendly and did an awesome job with my color and cut, I’m very happy with the results. I’ll definitely be coming back here again!
Jene Jenkins-Jones
I adore Megan and love the work she does. My hair comes out looking better every time. It has taken me many years and as many stylists to finally fine one who listens to me and to whom I am willing to listen to. The highest accolades to Megan at Accolades.
Sarah Thoreson
I had several services performed at Accolades using a gift card I'd been given for a graduation present. I had a massage, eyebrow wax, eyebrow tint, and pedicure. The massage was wonderful. The individual performing the massage seemed very skilled and also didn't try to have small talk. She just let me relax, which I loved. Moving on to the eyebrow wax and tint. The waxing was fine, but the tinting didn't accomplish anything. When the tinting was over, my brows were pretty much the exact same color. I ended with a pedicure. It was pretty good, but shorter than I have experienced at any other salon. Overall, I enjoyed my experience. I'd definitely recommend a massage!
Laura Genis
I have not been back to Minnesota for years so I wasn’t sure what to expect when I chose a place to get my hair done and I was sooooooo happy with my experience! Paige was absolutely amazing. Came out with exactly what I wanted and felt so grateful for how strict they are with COVID Safety measures. FIVE STARS! Thanks, Paige!
Kelly D
Accolades pairs a great neighborhood atmosphere with high quality salon services. I have never returned to the same salon so frequently before finding Accolades. The service is consistent and I really appreciate the balance between the stylist's consideration for what I ask for and have in mind and suggestions to change these ideas for the better. I always have a great experience and the customer service is focused on making the customer comfortable and happy!
Cassandra Berttula
Love the atmosphere and service at Accolades Salon but the best is the stylists! Shelly is amazing with color & style, and she's always a joy! Highly recommend because from what I've seen, everyone leaves Accolades looking & feeling wonderful.
Melissa Winberg
I LOVE Accolade Spa Salon! From booking my hair cut till the moment I left everyone was very nice. I had Josh do my hair and was very pleased with how it turned out. I love that they do mini facials with hair cuts that was really a treat! I also love the tea they serve! It isn’t the cheapest place around to get your hair done but they do run a bunch of deals so if you keep your eyes open you’ll find a great deal!
Jamie Sherman
I love Accolades! Alex has been my stylist for about a year and a half, and she always does a great job. The first haircut I received was a pixie and I loved it! Alex is super sweet, too! Another great thing -- staff always offers me a beverage as soon as I arrive.
Chloe' Mae Lewis
Rhiannon was very professional and nice. She did everything I asked and even went back to go a little shorter. She was very gentle which is nice because my head can be a little sensitive. We talked and I had an overall great time :)
Stacey Urbanz
I've been going to Accolades for years now and love seeing Linnea! Also just got a great eye brow wax with Angela. I've started taking my teenage daughter to the salon too - she just got her first highlights done and Paige was so patient in figuring out the color. It's a great all around salon and everyone is very friendly!
L.G. L.
I got my hair cut here a month ago and it was the best professional cut I've ever had. They actually have stylists that understand wavy and curly hair. I liked the atmosphere so I went back for a pedicure! I was worried about going in for a pedicure because my feet are wrecked and peeling from having a job where I stand all day. Shelly made me feel super comfortable, and did an excellent job making my feet feel great. I'd never gotten a pedicure before and she did so well that she might have set the bar too high! I'll definitely be back.
Charlotte Perez
The staff at the front door are always welcoming and friendly. Jenny is an amazingly talented stylist. She really listens to her client’s ideas and uses her expertise to make their vision come to life. She is the best!
Aundrea Walsh
I was looking for a hair place on Groupon and came upon Accolades. It looked like a good deal and I was excited that I received a facial as part of the package since I had never received one before. When I arrived I was immediately greeted and offered a drink. The staff was very friendly! My stylist found me and was very kind and appropriately chatty. The facial was really nice, and she explained what she was doing and what products she used during the process. My stylist also added an extra product to my hair after highlights were finished because she wasn't satisfied with the color.
Over all, this was a great salon and I was happy with my hair when it was done. As long as they continue to offer Groupon's I will definitely go back.
Amy Ariel
After having leukemia and a bone marrow transplant, I'm very sensitive to many chemicals and fragrances. I so appreciate that at Accolades it's easy to know exactly what is in the products, and although there is some salon scent, it's much less strong than in any other salon I've tried. I've had very good experiences with getting my hair cut there, and given that just a few years ago I was bald that's a particularly big deal for me. The staff is always kind and gracious.
Kate Kubat
I used a groupon for foils, mini facial, and a haircut. It was fantastic. I had never dyed my hair before and after a long discussion about different dying techniques, the stylist helped me decide that partials would be most beneficial for me because I have such thick hair. The mini facial was amazing and left me feeling very relaxed while she finished washing my hair. The cut was great and she was very receptive to me when I asked for more thinning. Overall great location, cute space, great service and I would definitely recommend this spa!
Selah Hennesy
I had an amazing haircut and style from Chloe!! She is absolutely fantastic. I also highly recommend the mini facial, she provided an extremely relaxing experience for me with a face and scalp massage. Will be returning to see her again.
Sarah Auten
Since my first visit to Accolades for an up-do, I have always felt welcomed and treated to first-class quality treatment. I was so grateful to visit today after quarantine and 6 months off haircuts - I feel like a new person!
Iris Page
I have been going to Accolade Salon and Spa for the past 6 years. As long as I have been there, I have always been treated with the greatest amount of hospitality and care. For a haircut and/or color, I love seeing Jenny! She is outstanding. I would also recommend Angela for waxing. The product selection that they have at Accolade is also fantastic. I can always trust the quality I receive at Accolade!
Rana Leonhardi
I have been going to Accolades for about 6 years, and recently switched stylists to see Kelly. I am really pleased with how well Kelly LISTENS (an issue I feel like I have run into with previous stylists over the years) and I LOVE how my cut turned out. I really enjoy the overall experience at Accolades. From walking in the door and being greeted by a warm friendly smile, being treated to a coffee, a mini facial- the service at Accolades is great!
mollan lj
I look forward to each appointment! Melissa listens to me and always has ideas and solutions in regard to the look I want to achieve and any hair dilemmas I may be facing. Accolades has an updated and pleasant feel. I am pampered and well taken care of on each visit. I walk out the door feeling refreshed, stylish and beautiful! Today was no different. Always a pleasure!!
Sarah B
Accolades Salon has exceptional costumer service. The hair stylists are kind, patient, accommodating. I'll start with why I only chose the 4 star rating - the cuts I've received have been okay. BUT. The color treatments I've received there have been unprecedented. I occasionally try a groupon at another salon for coloring and it's so disappointing once you've had the best. Truly, this is THE best hair coloring salon I have ever, ever experienced here or in Denver, CO. I recommend Accolades services to anyone, especially the color services. The not-as-amazing-as-the-color-cuts are even worth it. Seriously. I can't tell you enough about the magic that is the coloring services at this place.
Megan Dehn
I've gotten a couple hair cuts and a few massages at Accolades and have had the best experience! Melissa is an amazing stylist. She gave me a cut that was a little risky for me and made sure I loved it. I even came back a couple days later to have it fixed a little (after I realized I couldn't style it very well) and she was more than accommodating. Lorena has the magic touch, as far as massage therapists go ;) She makes you feel very comfortable and applies just the right amount of pressure. I would recommend Accolades to anyone! Definitely check out their Groupons, they have some great packages that make treating yourself a little easier on the wallet.
Todd Bartine
Rick was the absolute BEST. I could tell he was working hard to get everything just perfect, so that I would be happy…and he succeeded! He listened carefully to what I wanted, and even exceeded my expectations. I love how my hair looks.
Kari Elizabeth Godfrey
Shelly saved my hair from a bad color at another salon. She was SO kind and detailed everything she was doing and we got along really well. She made my hair look the way I intended and we now have a plan. Thank you!
Thomas Bertilsson
I've had very good experiences at Accolades, and after a few trials with skilled and pleasant stylists, I found one that I really gel with and am soon to set up my third appointment with her. I go there for hair cuts, and really enjoy the mini facial provided after washing my hair. The atmosphere is vibrant and good, without being too noisy. Each visit is relaxing, and I walk out happy and pleased. I've had one mistake in the times I've gone there, but they made up for it and apologized, which I appreciated. Everybody makes mistakes, and it's how it's handled that matters.
Renate Amann
I always feel relaxed and in good hands with Kelly. She carefully listens and checks out new ideas with the styling of hair. Her cuts work really well with my short hair and she is very precise. I love the mini facial that is complimentary and just what I need to unwind after a stressful day.
Kim Thomey
I love going to Accolades. I have seen many styliest over the years and right now I currently see Julie & am really happy with results. She is so patient, listens to what I want and then helps with suggestions that would work best with my hair!! Only thing is I really miss the mini facials since Covid!
Amy Young
Lola is absolutely the most talented stylist I've ever gone to. I seldomly write reviews, but I am amazed with the quality of her work. A true artist in hair color. Very personable, along with the rest of the staff. Highly recommend!
Keirsten Englund
The only salon I really feel comfortable going to! I have gotten haircuts, color treatments (first time yesterday), facials, and mani-pedis here and have great experiences and results every time. I trust that I won’t ever walk out feeling embarrassed about how I look. Yesterday I got my hair cut for the first time in over a year and decided to give a tinted gloss a try. I don’t ever color my hair so this was a big deal for me. I was pretty nervous because I have naturally two-toned hair that is essentially white on the top. I didn’t want anything too subtle but I also wanted it to be noticeable/worth the time and money. Alicia was my stylist for both the cut and color and I was so pleasantly surprised with the results! I am glad I trusted her with the color treatment!
Amy Habedank
Great service & quality! I got a facial from Sydney & it was perfect! So relaxing too! Thank you!!
Cristaly
They're reliable and extremely helpful! All the salonists remember your preferences and if you have to book with someone else, chances are they'll know what you like cause they're always working and communicating together! They're very honest about what you should get.
You get a mini facial with a style and wash too; it's really relaxing. And there's water and coffee! The salon is aesthetically pleasing and impeccably clean.
Awesome colorists and undercuts too. They have a wide range of skills and specialties in color and styles. Regardless of what you want you'll probably find it! Plus you can make appointments online too :)
D Olson
I saw Melissa at Accolades for a number of years before moving out of state. She is the most talented colorist I've ever had and I miss her for it! For the first (and only) time in my life , I had complete strangers - some of whom were stylists themselves - tell me how great my color was and that they loved my hair. As a girl who struggled to love her fine, sad, hair that never seemed to grow , it was so nice to work with someone who new how to get the best from it.
Lisa Rebarchek Wodtke
Was looking for a new place to get a semi-regular massage - this was close to my house and had great reviews, so I gave it a shot. I’m so glad I did! Marc is great, can always get an appointment to fit my schedule and online booking is a huge win in my book!
Laura Ford-Nathan
I have had most services from Accolades. I Love the pedicures and haircuts. There are great deals for the massages often, and I get them regularly. Overall, I am very happy with Accolades. I have rarely had to wait more than 10 minutes for the service, and have received extra accommodations at times to be more comfortable. Will continue to go!
Colleen Parnell
Just had my hair foiled and cut by Linnea. Turned out super cute!
I have short hair with a few cowlicks, which she was able to incorporate into the cut making daily styling effortless. The highlights on my blond hair turned out awesome, not brassy at all.
This was my first experience at Accolades…comfortable atmosphere, felt welcome and pampered. Linnea offered a complimentary foot scrub/soak while the color processed and complimentary mini-facial following a scalp massaging shampoo.
Skilled stylist, excellent listener and very attentive to my needs. I will be back : )
Shelby Juell
Honestly absolutely love the experience every time I go there. They are very happy and attentive artists. I always feel validated and most importantly listened to about what I want done with my hair. I moved more up north than the cities but I still make the long trek to the cities to get my haircut/brows/coloring done because it is so worth it - I don't trust anyone else with my styles anymore. It is a bit more pricier than Fantastic Sams or another chain hair place, but for this high quality work, what do you expect? Again worth it!!! ❤️
Jabs Squad
This is a great salon and you get a great value for your money. Love that you can get a massage, haircut and color, as well as a mani/pedi all in one place. Julie is super nice! Very thoughtful- grabbed magazines for me, always makes sure my coffee/water are refreshed and gave extremely relaxing massages and a great facial. Would definitely recommend!
ashu sharma
salon with great talent! I had my hair blown out by a very good stylist. His blowout lasted for few days till I washed my hair. I left there loving loving loving my hair! The rest of the staff were friendly. I will definitely go back.
Tanya Casta
Jenny A is a hair goddess. I will never go to anyone else. Plus she is just a delight. She is fun, professional and so creative. I’ll follow her to the moon to have my hair done.
Tricia Iten-Maly
Every time I arrive at Accolades, I am always warmly welcomed. I have been seeing Kelly for my cuts and color for 5 years and have always left feeling fantastic. She takes the time to hear my "complaints" about my hair/color and then always comes up with great ideas and is able to carry them out. I like it when your stylist can do that versus me, the client having to come up with the ideas. I would highly recommend Accolade Salon and Kelly to everyone.
Jorge Vicencio
Great experience with Chloe. Asked her about suggestions to help improve the moisture in my hair because I know nothing. She demonstrated a couple products for me and my hair looked great instantly. Explained everything on how it works when it comes to hair lingo. Not sure if she’s been working in the trade long or not but this young lady is amazing. Ask for Chloe.
Jillian S. Thompson
I had a wonderful experience at Accolades with Sherry. She gave me a Great hair cut and was very attentive to my hair type and color. Plus they give you a foot bath while my color set and mini facial while washing your hair.Highly recommend it!
Leslie Newman
First came to this salon years ago with a Groupon, but have been a loyal customer since! Sam is incredibly talented and such a genuine person- love her! She listens intently and delivers! I always trust her advice.
Katie Knauer
first time at this salon today, had a great experience! Booking an appointment was easy and the staff was friendly and professional. I had a haircut with Sam and she did an awesome job, especially considering it's been a year since my last cut so there was quite a bit of work to be done. Will be going back again!
Mary Naughton
Really great salon! Friendly staff and one of the best hair cuts I have ever gotten. In the past I have rarely been satisfied with my haircut and will not go back to the same person but I have now returned to Accolades 3 times and have loved the cut each time :)
Anne Tyler
I have been going to Accolades for a couple years and Jenny is the BEST! She gives great haircuts and is a wizard with hair color. She is the nicest person and really makes my day to spend time with her. I leave feeling and looking so much better!!
Ashley M
Went today for the first time and absolutely loved it. Talented artists that do amazing work! I will definitely go again :) Sam did my coloring and Hannah did my haircut, both were wonderful to work with and my hair looked great!
Hannah Keuler
I had an amazing haircut and deep conditioning treatment with Paige! She listened to what I wanted and I felt so welcome. Love that there’s a parking lot too!
brenda s
Friendly, down to earth salon with great talent! Jason D. Is the best! I've had my hair cut/highlighted/blown out by top stylists all over and he is the best. His blowout can't be beat and it lasts. I left there loving loving loving my hair! He's spot on with color and cut.
The rest of the staff--receptionist and shampoo person--were friendly. I appreciated the down to earth vibe and attached parking lot. I will definitely go back. If you have a special occasion-- get a blow out by Jason!
Anastasia Brown
I have gotten 2 massages at Accolade Salon and Spa and they were great. I got massages from both Chandra and Brooke and they both have great technique. Chandra did a great job finding my problem areas and listened to what I liked. She also used hot towels during the massage which was wonderful. I saw Brooke after I did a run and she had more of a deep tissue technique which was just what I needed for my sore muscles.
I do wish it was a tad bit quieter in the massage room, you can sometimes hear the other noises from the salon but they do a good job with music and aromatherapy to create ambiance.
I have loved my massages and have another one booked for next week. Can't wait!
Kathy Jo Iverson
I love Accolades! The services are first-rate. The ambience is great, and I love the mini-facial - I always look forward to sitting back and being pampered. The staff is all so welcoming and professional. I see Alicia - she knows what I like and I'm always pleased with the results. :)
Susan Barbieri
After a brief rundown of what I was generally looking for, Alicia worked her magic and made me look great. I like to leave a lot to the stylist’s judgment, and I’m happy to entrust my head to Alicia. She’s a total pro.
Nancy Quimby
I'm always welcomed with a smile when I arrive. Shelly listens to what I'm interested in doing & asks great questions since my last visit. She also offers recommendations on new things to consider regarding cut or color. I'm treated to a day of pampering when coming to Accolades.
Katherine Norris
I went in to have my ends highlighted for an ombre look. Everything was perfect! I loved my stylist and she was very attentive to me! I also got my makeup done for a wedding and the stylist was awesome! She captured the look I wanted perfectly.
My only complaint was that an owner walked into the salon and did not seem very friendly to the stylists and front desk staff. It was very apparent to customers that staff were uncomfortable with the way he was speaking. It was very uncomfortable to customers to watch.
Cathy Nayes
Jenny is a wonderful stylist. She asks questions as she goes and I've had flattering styles! Jenny is so friendly I enjoy every minute
Nancy Merritt
I have been going to Accolades for a few years now and can't imagine going somewhere else. I go for cuts and the occasional color (and touch up) with Josh. He always works to get that right shade of auburn. The mini facial, shoulder massage and, if I like, soak in the pedicure tub while my hair is under wraps is all part of the wonderful experience. The scheduling is easy, friendly and the hours fit very well with my schedule. Great experience, great place - won't go anywhere else!
Nicole Post
These people are so incredibly nice and professional and the salon itself is really cool and unique. Comfy chairs, open atmosphere- I will be going back. Josy is amazing and she makes sure you don't leave without getting exactly what you want!
Rhonda Jarnot
Mary is absolutely the best massage therapist I have ever met!
I also get my hair cut & colored by Shelly. She is also amazing!!!
I used to drive 2 hours one way to get my hair done, until I met Shelly!
Those ladies are wonderful 🤗
~Rhonda S.~
Catherine Campion
Nice facial. Appreciated Angela's attention to tailoring the facial to my skin's needs, and the product recommendation, which I did buy.
Part of what I pay for is the relaxation, pleasure, experience - not just the improvement in my skin. Was told by email that the facial is 45-minutes, but it was under 30. Happy with the results, but would've preferred 15 more minutes of attention. Still, will be back!
Carlie Andrews
I have gotten facials at Accolade in the past and have had great experiences. I love that they use all natural products. I have sensitive skin and have never once had a problem with breakouts.
More recently I have been there for massage and LOVE seeing Chandra. She is amazing, and as a new client their "triple play" promotion makes 1 hour massages affordable. I would HIGHLY reccommend her for massage services.
The only reason this review is 4 instead of 5 stars is because the massage and facial rooms are not very well sound proofed. If the salon isn't busy the noise level isn't too bad, but if you get a loud conversation happening near the door you can hear every word. Interrupts the relaxation a little bit!
susan leek
I really like Accolades. Right after they check you in, the receptionist immediately offers you a drink and makes you feel at home. My stylist was very meticulous when cutting my hair. He took his time, looked at all the different angles as he was cutting. The haircut was very good. Thank you!
Monique Chevrier
It is always hit or miss. The girls that work there seem to frequently leave so when I get a new one I am usually not happy with my hair. It would be nice if when getting a new stylist they would listen as I KNOW what works and doesn't work for my hair.
It would be nice if they would stay with the same color company so it can be stored in the computer for the next person doing my hair.
I do like the product line created at Accolades minus all the dye coloring on the label running off.
Morgan Absher
Accolades is one of the best salons I've visited in the Twin Cities. I moved here from Duluth, and was worried about not being able to find a salon that had the same quality as the one I left behind. Bought a Groupon for Accolades, scheduled an appointment with Alecia, and loved it. Alecia knows how to do blonde hair which is very hard to find! Not only did I end up with amazing hair but I received a free mini facial and foot scrub! This place has a great environment, staff, and I will continue to go back!
Tara Drollinger
Jenny and her staff treated myself and my large bridal party right! I have gone to Jenny for years. She's friendly, remembers my life-stories, is personable, and does a great job on my hair. The facial that accompanies the cut is always a nice touch and adds to the relaxation!
It was an easy choice to do our hair here the morning of my wedding! The staff was accommodating and fun. We got in and out in the time needed.
Only downfall, one of the stylists, a male, was horrendous at doing updo's. He should have spoken up that he was uncomfortable doing them. We returned to the church and called back to ask for a re-do style with a different stylist. They absolutely agreed, told her to come back right away and they would get her right in. My bridesmaid's hair ended up looking fabulous!!
Brittany Tedford
I have been going to accolades for four years. Lola always takes care of my hair and does a PheNOMINAL job! I have also gotten my brows done by various people- each do a great job and are so friendly!
Amanda VanZee
Another GREAT cut from Julie P. I absolutely love my haircut from her and that is RARE. Before her I would always walk out of the hair salon in tears because I hated the cut. I go with what she recommends and it turns out wonderful! Will not be going to anyone else!.
Frannie Fradette
Paige does fabulous work. I showed her a couple of pictures of what I was looking for and she nailed it! She is super friendly, we have great conversation, and I look forward to going back!
Chrystal O'Hanlon
My experience at Accolades was a perfect remedy for covid winter blues. Lola does amazing color and haircuts. Salon covid procedures are top notch, and the front desk staff couldn’t have been nicer.
Pooja Kanwar
Angela is a goddess when it comes to skin care and a skillful artist of an aesthetician. Sam is such a thoughtful and caring stylist, always listening, adapting, and adjusting as needed. I am so lucky to have found these two gems in St. Paul. Accolades has some pretty awesome perks like mini facials, natural hair/face care products made in house and of course awesome staff and service. Highly recommend Accolades Salon!
Martha Magnuson
I love Accolades and Melissa has been my stylist for the last 7 years- can't recommend her enough. The complimentary facial during the shampoo is priceless!
C G
I was able to get in on short notice. Service and style were great and the price was good for a full service salon.
I went back for a Groupon deal- an antioxidant facial. It was amazing and refreshing! I left feeling 10 years younger and glowing. I've already booked my return visit!
Kinsey Brandt
Getting my hair cut here was so nice, everyone was really sweet and so accommodating.
Raquel Sidie-Wagner
Jenny is the best hairstylist in town! I love coming to accolades each and every time. My hair looks great, it's super relaxing, and I have a lot of fun. The stylists are friendly and easy to talk to, and it's a great atmosphere.
Ashlee Janecke
I love Accolades from the environment, the staff, the services, the prices, and most of the experience of how great I feel every time I leave. Alicia is my stylist and she does every color, cut, style better than how I would have imagined. I would never think of going anywhere else, not because of just a loyalty but you will not find any other place with the same experience and group of people.
Ashley Johnson
I was skeptical about getting my hair done through a Groupon deal, but I was blown away by my experience! I LOVE my color and Alicia did a great job at following my previous haircut to get the result I was looking for. I received a foot scrub while my color was processing, a face wash when I got my hair shampooed and a delicious cup of coffee! I will FOR SURE be back :)
Melissa Trentacoste
Samantha was so kind and very talented. It was definitely a treat--yo-self kind of evening, and I felt very comfortable and relaxed the whole time. Great haircut, lovely complimentary facial. Do recommend!
Jackie Crowshoe
Absolutely loved Samantha (Sam) She is an excellent communicator. Experienced and respectful.
Bill Wearn
I love going to Accolades and Shelly! She is a miracle worker with your hair. Highly recommend!
Lorrayne Christianson (Lori)
I visited Accolades for a massage facial. I was greeted by a friendly receptionist who also asked me if I needed anything. Chloe worked very diligently on the knots in my shoulder. This is my third time visiting Accolades and I plan to be back for monthly massages!
Elizabeth Wallis
I have been going to Accolades for several years and have received many different services there: haircut, color, facial, nails, massage, makeup, etc. I have always been very happy with the services I have received. I had my hair and makeup done here for my wedding; I was thrilled with the results and had a relaxing, enjoyable pampering experience.
Tina Havir
I've been going to Accolades for years and won't go anywhere else. Every time Jenny cuts my hair, she is trying a new technique on me that turns out wonderfully. Everyone is always warm and welcoming and you always feels as though you are a valued customer. They take great care of you at Accolades and I will continue to patron there for years to come.
Katherine Giroux
I've used Accolades Salon two times while I've been in a rush for a hair cut. Accolades is always very flexible and easy to book an appointment. The stylist always listen to my preference and do not pressure me to try things I do not want! I can't wait to go again.
Alicia Sprandel
Always a welcoming, friendly, and unique experience. Their priority is the client and it truly shows from the minute you're greeted when you walk in to when you leave. I always leave feeling amazing, relaxed, and looking forward to my next appointment. By far my favorite salon, and current go-to; absolutely love it here!
Anastasia Thompson
I don't have any experience with the hair salon, however I did purchase a Groupon for a massage. All the girls at the front desk were quite friendly, and the salon seemed to be clean enough, with a trendy atmosphere. The actual massage I have to say was not my favorite. Everything was "extra" such as any kind of Aroma therapy, deep tissue etc... which wasn't a big deal, I guess the over all demeanor of the man giving my massage was not very personable.
Lisa Swanson
Had a mani/pedi today, and as usual, it was a wonderful experience. I have been going here for may hair and nails for a little more than a year now. Love my stylist, Alicia - she does a great job with my curly hair! Love the extras - the foot soak and massage while getting my hair colored, and the mini facials. Comfortable place, great customer service by all the staffers.
Paigan Fuecker
sam is an amazing hair stylist. Shes the only person I let touch my hair. Accolades is the place to go. it's small enough that everyone gets great personalized service, but they know their stuff. Always up on the latest fashion treands and best hair products.
Sarah Fussy
I drive 65 miles one way just to go to Accolades. Open later hours and Saturdays to accommodate my work schedule and I’ve always had great stylists (Shelly & Melissa). Great color!
Kyle Viazcan
Marc Romero was fantastic, definitely provides the freshest fades in the twin cities. I’ve found my new barber for life here.
Amanda Bryan
I booked a 90 min massage and when it was all done and I was dressed and out of the room there was still about 10min left...so I really only ended up getting ~70min massage. I mentioned I didn't like to talk and to focus on my back, she talked to much at the end, trying to sell me some oil and didn't do much on my back at all. It wasn't the worst but it wasn't the best. The salon over all looked nice, the massage room was nice, but she played music similar to what is on Cities 97, not relaxing music that you usually get at a massage. Everyone was super nice, but not sure I will be back.
Amber Skoog
I received a massage from Accolades and was very happy with it. The massage therapist was knowledgeable and knows how to do prenatal massages as well. I will be returning for more massages. My friends have also gotten their hair colored and cut at Accolades and it has turned out very well.
Hayley Trace
I have never gotten a facial before, but after finding Accolades Salon on Groupon, it seemed like a great deal and something fun to try! I was instantly greeted upon my arrival and offered a beverage, I happily accepted a cappuccino, which was wonderful! Since I had never received a facial before, I had no idea what to expect. My technician was very helpful and explained the process and the products she was using very well. I was completely relaxed and was so sad when it ended. I just wanted to stay there all day! I was also given a $10 off my next visit - so that was a great surprise. I have taken a look at what all the salon offers and I don't think I would ever pay full price for anything. So as long as they remain on Groupon, I will remain a customer!
Christa Witt
Josh Mercado rocks my hair world! He has a creative eye for both haircuts & colors. I’ve never had a stylist who gets my hair the way he does. Highly recommend! You won’t be disappointed.
Lucy Mullen
I love coming to Accolades! Paige is the best with everything I have wanted to do with my hair and the front desk staff is SO nice, Lillie always greets me so nicely when I walk in. Could not recommend this place enough!!!
Leah Bauman-Smith
Accolades does has great facials, pedicures and manicures. The restorative facial is amazing. I got one haircut there and didn't like it. The haircut wasn't bad but it was not what I wanted. I would highly recommend the skincare and nail services but have reservations about recommending a haircut.
Karena Monahan
I really enjoyed my experience with Paige. She was professional, easy to get along with, and did an excellent cut and color. I'm so happy with my new hair!
Mia Kammeyer-Mueller
The first time I went in, it was just for a pedicure. I ended up adding a manicure and brow wax because the service was so pleasant. I also love the product line they use. When Alex cut my hair, she spent a lot of time listening to what I wanted and gave me advice on how to get the same great results at home.
LL Peltier
i have been a faithful accolades customer for many years. my experience with the salon has always been positive. it is such a great feeling to walk into their ambiance. from the greeting at the front door, the offer of a beverage, mini facial, massage and wonderfully attended services -- it is an easy 5 star rating for me. a special shout out to josh. he has been so kind to me and is amazing with my hair!
Justine Lee
I hadn't been back here since COVID and felt so safe here. It was 9 months since my last facial, and I got it through Groupon. They extended the expiration date due to COVID. I felt safe once there, due to safety measures. Alisha (?) was AMAZING for the blast facial - it was short but felt long, and I was finally able to get some self-care during 2020! She's amazing!
Anne S
I had a delightful experience and never felt like a commodity. Instead, from the warm greeting at the door to the high-quality service of the knowledgeable haircare professional (Jason), I was delighted at the salon's ability to go above and beyond in every aspect of fulfilling my expectations. After the passage of time, I continue to be pleased with the style and the natural color blend which emulates (but improves on) my own now-greyed over color.
Allyce Fisk
I had a Groupon for a mani-pedi and was taken care of by Samantha. Great atmosphere, great service and my gel manicure has lasted 2 weeks without any signs of chipping. Would define recommend Sam and I am planning on returning!
Kaitlin Grady
I just went to the salon for the first time since CoVID-19. And I can NOT stop looking at myself in my rear-view mirror.... it is GLORIOUS..... I mean Pinterest & IG models should be pinning me right now!!
I have only gone here in the last 5 years. On one occasion an extremely stylish & good looking gentleman was making small talk with everyone, including myself, asking if anyone would like a beverage. I thought it was a patron or employee, but it turned out to be the owner! I love that!
Not only am I feeling like an IG or Pinterest model driving home, but my money is going back into a small buisness and good people. Buutttt..... more importantly ...... I look soooo good I keep looking at myself instead of the road.
Leslie Bonk
I just love the people and the products they use.
The people are Exceptional as is the quality of their work. I know when I am there I feel safe I will be very relaxed when I leave and and know that they do everything possible to Make it safe. They make me looks beautiful. I thank you very much for your kind Services to me.
Mary Bergman
I always have an awesome experience at accolades. Both my husband and I have seen Jenny for over 10 years now. She always does an excellent job! Very talented!
Sarah Baker
I love Accolades! I get my hair done there. I've never had so many compliments on my hair and it is a super fun relaxing experience every time I go. Kelly does great work!
Jason-N-Erin Dreier
I recently came in for a trim and new bangs. Josh did a great job. After styling my hair on my own for a few days, I realized my bangs fell longer than the first day. I was able to get in for a quick 2 minute bang trim the day I called. I don't get my hair cut often, so it was great to get a reminder email from Accolades offering 40% off.
Jill Petsel
I am new to Saint Paul. i had the same stylist for 15 years. I have lived through many bad hair cuts so finding someone new is terrifying. I walked into to Accolades and scheduled with Kelly. She is amazing! Accolades is a great spa -- I love the mini facial and the special treatment I receive the minute I walk in the door.
Reade Adams
Sam gave me a great haircut and color. I trust her judgment to create the right look for me, with a little input just to make sure. 😉 …
Lexi Csargo
I got a Groupon for an organic mani/pedi here and it was amazing! The atmosphere is very welcoming and serene. Especially for getting a mani/pedi in a salon I was impressed by how relaxing they have made the nail area. My nail tech, Paige, was incredibly sweet and did an amazing job! I’m excited to come back in the future.
elizabeth sarles
It was only a consultation so far, but Rhiannon was so friendly and accommodating! :)
Sandra Christiansen
I just had my hair cut by Alicia this morning. I am happy and my hair is happy! This salon has a cozy feel and has a great aura! I was treated so well by everyone there, and will definitely be back!
Cindy
I’ve gone here for years. Kelly is my colorist/stylist and is fantastic. She listens, makes suggestions, and is always excited when I want to try something new. Linnea gives me great pedicures and Angela is awesome for facials. I love this place!
Jennifer Ouellette-Schramm
Great cut and color experience as always, and Accolades has social distancing down. Everyone was distanced and masked and surfaces and tools were sanitized the full time I was there. It’s great to feel safe going back out to a salon!
Liz Roten
I don't often to go fancy salons, for my haircuts (college student here). When I do have the extra cash, Accolades is where I go. They offer you coffee, tea, water, etc when you walk in the door and a mini-facial while you get your hair washed. No matter which stylist I have, they treat me and my hair with care and attention. I leave feeling refreshed, renewed, and ready to take on the world with a snappy new haircut!
Pablo
I have been only 1 since my hair stylist retire and it was Ok. Fortunately this time I had great experience with Lola, she really took the time to listen and cut my hair. I will be going back.
Ask for her she is new in town and is quite good
Angela C
I absolutely love Accolades. I always get great customer service. As soon as I walk in the door, I'm offered a beverage (cappuccinos or mimosas anyone?) while I wait. The appointments are always on time. They offer a wide array of services. I've had manis, pedis, facials and massages. My stylist is Jenny Aho. She is truly an artist and always does an amazing job. She is really good at listening to what you want and executing it. It doesn't matter if my hair is long or short, I always leave the salon looking amazing. My color is always beautiful and I always get compliments on it. While I'm waiting for my color to process, I get to soak my feet and she gives me a complimentary foot scrub. She also provides the best head massage when you're in the sink while getting your hair washed. Accolades also sells a lot of great products, including Aveda, so I can stock up while I'm there. I highly recommend Accolades!
Natalie Davis
Best massage ever! Chloe did an amazing job working out many knots in my back/shoulders. Literally left feeling so much better. I will 100% be returning.
Jennifer Royan
Best salon I've been to in MN, Chicago, or LA. Jenny is hands-down the best hair artist I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Not only does she create individual styles for each client, she has the best attitude and never disappoints!
Jackie Poston
Excellent! Felt totally pampered and listened to. I have a new salon. Emily is so friendly and had great suggestions.
Laura Andrews
Accolades is such a great salon! The stylists are always so nice and they really take the time to talk through what I want to make sure I get my cut/color done right. Definitely recommend!
Jessica Trombley
I had such an amazing experience! My hair was done so well, and I felt like I got exactly what I asked for. Chloe R is so wonderful and talented! Would recommend.
Megan Turner
Linnea is so wonderful!! Kind and intuitive and so talented!! She gave me highlights and lowlights to blend my gray as I grow it in and she is the most thoughtful and thorough stylist I’ve ever met. She is a true artist! Thank you Accolades and a huge thank you to Linnea for knowing exactly what I needed!!
Karie Johnson
Accolades is convenient, affordable, and the staff is always friendly. Appointments are typically available on short notice, which is nice. I love the mini-facial, and also the new organic product line. I will definitely come back for haircuts in the future.
Tammy Proulx
If you could bottle Marc’s massage he would be a millionaire!! I feel like a new woman. He got rid of all the cobwebs in my muscles, relieved a tension headache and really made my day. I feel so relaxed. I wish everyone could get a massage from him. The world would be less tensed and feel refreshed. Check it out. They also have a Groupon going on right now for a cheaper rate.
Lucy Austad
I've been to Accolades twice now for root touch-ups and color. Paige does a fantastic job and she's fast! Everyone there is super friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend!
Laci Kuzenski
I change my hair often. I used to go to only cheap, walk-in hair salons. They were hit or miss, but I told myself I was saving a fortune, and I could be impulsive. My husband had been going to Accolades for a bit and convinced me to try it out. They got me in right away. There was a wash and mini facial included with the hair cut. It was super enjoyable. My cut was what I had in mind, but taylored to my face and hair. Best of all, they offer free follow-up bang and neck trims, so I feel like I am not wasting money on a high maintenance cut. I have been comming to Linea with all of my whacky hair ideas for over 2 years now. I am a loyal customer who still gets to be impulsive and doesn't feel like she is wasting a cent.
Theresa Hoffoss
Always professional. I brought my 4.5 year old for her first pedicure and they took great care to make her feel welcome. They only charged for a "polish change" for my daughter, but still did the prep and primp on her feet and toes. You can't get that pricing in the mall and these products are so much better!! It was a bonus with their new light up iridescent foot soak tubs. I never go anywhere else for my foot care. There are often groupons and I have never had issues getting in for an appointment.
Lisa West
The parking is a total bonus. The atmosphere is calm and cozy. I've been a customer over the years for hair and nails and brows. All the practitioners are nice and skilled. I've had a few bad hair experiences but it looks like those stylists have moved on. Overall, I'd recommend this place to others...and I have!
Victoria Babashov
Paige was great! She did exactly what I asked for. She was very friendly and professional. Easy to talk to! I rebooked and can’t wait to see her again :)
Natacha Ohayon
I LOVE Accolades!
Best haircut and foil I've ever received. Sad Lanae is no longer there, but I'll still be getting my hair done there.
This is also where my boyfriend got his first non-Great Clips haircut and oh boy does it make a difference!!
Best part is the mini facial you get!!
Karen Stuhlfeier
I have been going to Accolade Salon and Spa for many years. Josy is the best! I do wish that they would currently require masks. With the current situation in Minnesota it seems irresponsible not to. Yes, you can ask your stylist to wear one, but there were many people close to me who weren't wearing one. It made me uncomfortable.
Suzy Sorensen
I had a facial at Accolades and loved the entire experience! Very friendly staff and absolutely excellent facial service. My caregiver was knowledgeable and attentive, she individualized my treatment. I looked and felt like a million bucks when I left!
Terry Kreft
I treated myself to the Self-Healing Facial on Spa Day, and it was wonderful -- a feast for the senses. Alana is excellent, the room is comfortable and soothing, and the products are all natural and smell wonderful. [Side Note: I am extremely sensitive to any chemical fragrances so usually if I can smell something, I don't like it. The products they use are totally safe for me.] I have also had the Anti-Oxidant Blast Facial which I enjoyed very much.
Jordan Šrámek
To find a salon open on a Monday is one thing. To find one open on Memorial Day is another. To get an appointment with someone (Melissa, who has been working at the salon for 10 years) was quite the Memorial Day miracle. I hate cheating on my regular hairdresser, but I must say that I'm close to switching now. For $49 I got a shampoo, facial (with facial massage and hot towel), men's haircut, blow/style, and neck shave with hot cream. (That sounds dirty, but I didn't mean it to be.)
To be honest, my jury is still out on the cut itself, but I've been going to the same person for so long that any diversion seems suspect. And any quibbles will likely be minor in the long run; I have a feeling that after I wash and style myself I will be quite satisfied. I certainly appreciated the time and care Melissa showed, and the front desk staff was equally kind and welcoming.
Virginia McCoy
My mother and I got manicures and pedicures and loved the entire experience. The staff made sure we got to do both beauty treatments together and had a great time chatting with each other and the staff. At the same time, it was super relaxing and both really pleased with the results.
Alexis M
I went here to get my hair styled for an engagement shoot. They were very aware of my time constraints and worked with that. My hair looked great and I got out on time. The location is great, parking is easy as well. The salon was clean and everyone was very nice.
Mary Claire
I love this salon! Great product selection, with most containing 4 ingredients or less. I also received a complimentary hand treatment while waiting for my color to set. The facial was very relaxing, and instead of New Age music, or rain falling, I got to listen to Otis Redding and some other soul and funk. Really a great experience.
kathryn murray
Lola is an encredible hair engineer. She knows her ins and outs with hair. If you EVER have and issue with your hair, she your gal. Infact, they all are. Accolades runs a clean saloon with very fun, intelligent talent!
Cheers Lola!
Ayanna Bonds
Sydney did a awesome job on my brows ….ILL BE BACK!!
KC Wright
I have had only wonderful experiences here. I have had manicures, pedicures, and several eyebrow waxes done and all have turned out great. Best eyebrow wax I have ever had (And my mom is in the business!). Love that they have discounts for new customers and send email updates as well. Keep up the great service!
Daisy Cross
Alex has been cutting my hair for almost four years now. She is spectacular. I'm a wash-and-go type of person, and she actually listens to what I want, and doesn't try to style the hell out of my hair. I'm in and out of the salon in less than 30 minutes with a great haircut. As a busy mom, this is very much appreciated!
Karen Bures
This is the best salon I have ever been to. A lot of salons in their attempt to be posh can be incredibly snotty. I have often felt under dressed or out of place. This place screams cool, but in such a laid back manner that anyone can come. It's really a very welcoming place.
And I can't say enough about Kelly. I have very wild frizzy crazy hair and not only is she a master with the color, she always cuts it perfectly. I can wear it straight or curly. I wish I could afford to go as often as I'd like.
Such a great place!!!!
Shelley S
The self healing facial w/Brooklyn was one of the best spa experiences I've ever had. My sensitive skin had no problems with their products, just what my winter skin needed. I especially appreciate that she was not overly chatty and her choice of relaxing yet modern music was a nice touch! I would have scored 5 if the common areas were a bit cleaner or more cozy, however, they really have improved quite a bit over the years.
Alice Morell
First time at this Salon and I was not disappointed! Scheduled a massage and mani/pedi. Unfortunately the person that was to do my mani/pedi was ill but they let me know and apologized for the inconvenience a couple times. The massage was LOVELY! Marc was extremely nice and had a very healing touch. Would definitely recommend and I will be back!
Jana Johnston
My stylist was amazing! She listened to what I needed and did a great job. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Peg Sherven
I visited Accolades because of an enticing Groupon. Shelly did a GREAT job highlighting and cutting my hair. I also got a facial as part of my offer. Wonderful service, easy location to navigate to, and great service. I'll definitely be back!
ashlee s
I went in for a facial. It was quite busy, so I didn't know what to expect, but once I was in the room, it was nice and relaxing. They didn't do extractions for my first visit, but I was fine with that. The massage portion was great! Really, the whole thing was great. The room was decorated nicely and I loved the music they played. I would go back.
Chris Kraft
This is probably one of the nicer salons I've gone to, but the prices are pretty steep to match the nice atmosphere. If you want a spa experience with your cut and color, I think this is a good place to go. All the stylists are good, and they have a lot of last minute availability.
Judy Lehnen
Clean, sanitary, friendly, professional. Sam is fantastic with fine hair and I look great! She is always super careful to use products that don’t contain Lavender since I’m allergic
Cynthia Eylmann
I enjoy going to Accolades. Friendly staff, extremely clean & relaxing environment. My hair always feels amazing after I see Lola for my color!
Stephanie Walker
I was welcomed warmly, and received a mani/pedi for my wedding. I really enjoyed the relaxing experience, especially the house-made four ingredient organic oils and lotions that were used. I also enjoyed the experience with the woman working on me. She was really nice. I think her name was Jennifer. I forgot to pick up the card that she had for me. I do have to say I was disappointed with the way my toe and finger nails looked upon looking at them later that night. The polish I'd had on was still peeking through, and was not completely removed before putting on the new color. As far as the polish, I really felt I could have (and have done) a better job myself. One fun perk was the free bottle of polish I received!
A Blalock
Came in with a groupon looking for a new stylist. Got the highlight and haircut deal. She did a decent job on my blond highlights, but hardly cut anything off afterward. Since blond is so damaging to my hair, I expected an inch or two chopped off, but...it was crazy, she highlighted very thoroughly, but didn't cut it in an organized way even though I asked for a little more cut off than a usual trim. It was an ok salon, but even with all the draws they use to get people in the door, I won't be returning because I felt a lack of caring and desire to connect with their clients.
Suzanne Hagen
Shelly is officially my new stylist. Awesome job and explained everything
Jessica Lindeen
I highly recommend the free facial they offer during the shampoo. It's wonderful and all organic ingredients -- leaves your face feeling fresh, not greasy or dry.
The haircuts are great Josh did my hair and I was very pleased. I have super thick hair and he was able to thin it out and give me more volume.
I recommend it!
Carina S
Mick is absolutely amazing, he is so passionate and detail orientated when it comes to hair! Extremely pleased with my results. I Hadn’t cut my hair in over a year because I didn’t want it shorter. He taught me that you don’t have to sacrifice length to have healthy and beautiful hair. I WILL most definitely be back to see him!
J May
Gianni is a scientist when it comes to color correction! She carefully planned how to work with each section of growth/dye in my hair so I could have a consistent vibrant red (from dark brunette). Well worth the time and cost charged, and I'll definitely be making my follow up appointments with her.
Savannah Lauf
I went to Accolades for a pedicure for my wedding. The woman who did my pedicure was delightful and my feet felt great! It has been three weeks since I got married and my polish still looks great. I will definitely go again.
stpauligrl1
I used a Groupon coupon for a cut and partial foils for my first visit to Accolades. I will be back! I got a great cut. I love the color. The foot massage and facial were a great surprise. I've never been so pampered!
becky parkin
I've been to the salon 3 times. Alicia does beautiful color, highlights and cuts. I've had other stylists there do bang trims; all the stylists have been great! I highly recommend Accolades.
Jennifer Prom
I have been going to Accolade for about 5 years now. I have never been disappointed! Always get a great haircut from Kelly and the facial before is of course very relaxing. Everyone is always so friendly who works here. Thanks for all your great service!!
Allison Hofstedt
I love Accolades! They provide many spa services, I've had mani-pedi, hair color, and an awesome back facial so far. They also have wonderful, organic products that are one of a kind, and better than anything I've ever bought at a store. Employees are wonderful, prices are fair, scheduling is easy!
Erin Naveen
I did quite a bit of research before scheduling a facial for my mother-in-law and myself, and was pleasantly surprised when I got the opportunity to speak with one of the owners about my questions. Very service-oriented! The facial experience was wonderful, products are fresh, and -most of all- the owners/staff are very accommodating (open to feedback, your needs, and how they can accommodate your interests). I felt welcome, pampered, and well-taken care of. Thank you!
Sarah Wick
Had a massage from Marc, he's fantastic! Staff was super friendly and the space has a cool (but approachable) vibe. Online booking always makes me happy. I'll definitely be back!
Katie Roberto
My second time getting a facial here! Sydney does an amazing job.
Lara
I hopped around salons for a long time and found my "home" at Accolades. Paige is fantastic! It's easy to get an appointment for what I want, when I want. I very much appreciate the online booking.
Melissa Allie
Went to Megan and you can tell her what you want and she delivers it effortlessly! Already rebooked, super happy with overall experience from the salon. Thanks Megan!
Genny Grilli
The person who did my mani/pedi was really nice, but the products they used for the manicure really don't seem to be the best. The polish didn't go all the way to my cuticles and it was literally peeling off on my drive home. It peeled off a ton around my cuticles, but not near the tips of my nails, so I don't have a clue what went wrong there. I ended up taking the polish off that same night since it looked so bad. Kind of disappointed. It was my first time there and I'm not sure I'll be back after that. I did really like the pedicure, they were much gentler than other places I've gone in the past.
Megan Casa de Calvo
I enjoyed my experience here. It's where I first took the plunge to short hair after having long hair forever. The stylist really took the time to shape it bit by bit and make it match the picture I brought in. Also, the pedicure was extremely thorough and relaxing.
Julie Ray
Wonderful experience, ever time. Mark is skilled, professional, amazing results. Thank you 🙏 …
Shawna Hedlund
The free mini facial upon hair wash is the best. I’ve seen 3 stylists, all talented and great company. I take my whole family from 9 yo to 85 yo mom!
monica ellis
I didn't very much care for the look of the salon. Regardless of this factor, my visit for a trim was pleasant. The stylist was very down to earth and friendly. She did a fine job on a basic trim, and I would return.
I did buy the owners brand of organic shampoo and conditioner which I thought were nice.
Gary Morgan
I've been using Groupon-type discounts for massages in the Twin Cities, trying to find something different. I rarely have a "bad" massage (although it has happened.) What I found at Accolades with Deana as the therapist was a not just a good massage - it was a SURPISINGLY good massage.
Quite frankly, I wasn't sure what to expect. I've been to some very nice spa's. I thought the ambience was just average, but the treatment blew me away. I finally found a place where the service was so unique, I would happily pay full price.
I grant you that interpretation of these kinds of things can be very subjective. I raved about the service to my wife, and she went to visit Deana. She ALSO was convinced. My wife occasionally has back pains but rather than go to a chiropractor, she would prefer to go to Deana.
I give Deana's service an enthusiastic thumbs up!
Lindsey
I had a 120 min massage with Mark S. He truly has magic hands. I had some trouble spots he was able to work on and help ease some of the pain I had. I can't wait to go back. Highly recommend him.
Alex Freeman
Utterly relaxing and rejuvenating. Wonderful staff and knowledgeable aesthetician. I go whenever I can.
Theresa Reinhardt
I went to the salon for the first time a few months ago and received a great hair cut! The layering was done very well and it's a cut I've enjoyed wearing very much. Their customer service is wonderful as well.
Brie B
I have been going to see Sam at Accolades for over 4 years and I won’t go to anyone else! She always does an amazing job with my crazy requests! She’s taken me from blonde to icy gray to blue to purple to black to brown and back to blonde. Tell her what you want and she will do everything she can to get you there, without leaving your hair fried and unhealthy!
Rose Sherman
I trust Josy Accolade Salon to color my hair because she always gets it right. She cuts my hair following my desires and what she thinks will work for my growth patterns, always asking first. The mini-facials are superb.
Becky Lawyer
I have always had a very positive experience at Accolades. Over the years, I have received a variety of services there, including facials, massages, haircuts, pedicures and manicures. Staff are always extremely professional and are dedicated to their work. It is my go to place, when I am looking for pampering services.
Kristina Milne
Accolades is a nice place, but nothing fancy. I received a groupon deal for a massage and a mani-pedi. I got my massage from Lorena and she was great! She used the right amount of pressure and was accommodating to my needs. Surprisingly, it was quiet in the massage room and I didn't hear the noise from out in the salon. The building is small and cramped, so I was expecting to hear the hair dryers and people talking. Then I got a mani-pedi from Hailee. The salon doesn't have as many colors to pick from as I was hoping. Hailee was great! She was slow and careful. I like that the salon uses healthy organic products for the mani-pedi. I'll come back and visit for special occasions, but the price, service, and distance from my home will keep me going to my little nail salon in town.
Karen Arnold Truax
Jenny A has been styling my hair for years and she does it perfectly every time. I only trust my hair to her! She listens to what I want and then takes that above and beyond. I love the salon and the friendly services
Amy Hewett-Olatunde
I went in and got my hair cut today. It started as a VERY unpleasant experience with Alex. She was very rude to the owner in front of clients and other staff members, and she was not interested in doing a proper consultation with me in the least. I knew that Brad, the owner was supposed to do my hair, so I was about to walk out and get a refund on my Groupon, if Alex was going to continue. I held my tongue and her attitude toward me was uncalled for. She shouldn't be working in the service industry. Brad cut a lot of my hair off and although it is too short for me, the haircut was good. He gave me a great consultation and was very pleasant to work with. However, the Groupon stated I was paying for a full foil ($109) and a haircut ($45+), but I got a full hair color ($79) and a cut ($45+). The Groupon also stated I would get a complimentary facial and foot scrub, but was offered only a foot soak. I like the salon, but the Groupon was not true to what I paid for it ($89). I am looking for a salon to get my hair cut and colored every six months from now on, and I am not sure if I would feel comfortable going back with Alex's cheap attitude.

Service has been great every time! I have come here for cut, color, mani/pedi's with various people. Mick gives a great cut! I have wavy brown hair and he always gets a great cut so it never curls into that unfortunate xmas tree/triangle shape - I can just wake up and go with my curls most days now! He also keeps notes of color so you can always do the same or try something from before. I also appreciate that he is not pushy about products or judgmental about hair-care, just really helpful, thanks!
Best gel mani also - I needed a mani for a special occasion to last, so I went a week in advance, as that was all my schedule could accomodate, and Sam did an awesome job! It lasted well past the event, and I looked great for it!

The only place I go for an aesthetician is Accolades Salon. They are all very good at what they do and very personable. I have also been very satisfied with their pedicures. The salon has a very comfortable feel and I love their products. The pricing is relatively inexpensive and everyone is very helpful and polite.

I love the stylist Jade and we talk a lot as if we knew each other before and the massage chair is a bam. I will definitely come back and refer my friends. Thank you 😊 and keep up the good work. …

The stylists always do such a wonderful job! They are constantly learning new techniques and they thoroughly explain everything they do. Wonderful ambiance and a great owner! He cut my hair and it was the best!

I received an Amazing Facial! My spa technician was Angela. She was Great! It was SO relaxing, and made my skin feel GREAT!

Linnea did a full foil and cut with me yesterday, and it's nothing short of awesome. I hadn't been able to visit for several months for a multitude of reasons. Needless to say, I was in definite need of refresh. Linnea suggested changes in my cut and style which would require less maintenance. So, if I couldn't visit as frequently as I would like, my cut and color would transition into a longer term style that could handle the wait. I rolled with Linnea's suggestions and the end result did not disappoint. I hope to be able to visit more frequently in the future, but I'm comforted the folks at Accolades do their best to listen and understand the needs of their clients. Dignity and respect are the order of the day. Give them a try.

Great atmosphere, friendly knowledgable stylists, got a cute haircut as well. Loved the facial massage prior to my cut...just a good overall experience. Definitely recommend!
Theresa Angelo
Decided to splurge on a Mani/Pedi Groupon at Accolades —good plan! The experience was very relaxing; love the environment (a digital fish tank entertains while your nails are done), staff was accommodating and pleasant. Danielle, my Nail Artist, was a delight! Will choose this Salon again.

I liked the salon, it had a very nice and comfortable atmosphere. I had a manicure and a gel pedicure. The manicure and pedicure felt great. Something I would very much do again at this salon. The only small problem I had was the gel french tip I received. I had to pay an extra $10 for it and to be honest, it wasn't that good. There was no shape to it, it's supposed to follow the shape of the nail. Other then that the lady was very nice and I in no way want to be mean. I didn't want to call and say anything because she did work on the french tip a while and she meant well. I would come back for the mani and pedi services, maybe I'll just stay away from the gel.

I have always had a good experience at Accolades, no matter who I have seen. And I have seen several different people because often when I request someone, it ends up being cancelled or changed to someone else. Make sure if you have a groupon, you do not try to use another within 6 months. I went in, and explained I had a groupon I would like to use, they said "ok, great", and I did not find out until I was checking out that I could not use it. Other than that, it is a comfortable, enjoyable atmosphere and everyone has done a great job with my hair and nails.

I LOVE Accolades. I was so excited to get back in for a cut and color with Kelly now that they’re open again. A delightful afternoon with beautiful hair at the end as always. Thank you!

Kelly is a great hair stylist. Very good at working with all types of hair. She is fabulous at texturing your hair if you have thick, straight hair. :-)
Shelly Craemer
The salon is really easy to find. Got a cut and partial foil with a Groupon. Loved my color! The cut was OK but I'm nosy and was looking around and loved a lot of the other cuts (and colors) I saw walking out the door! They offer a complimentary foot scrub (with color) and mini facial (with cut.) They still honored both of those complimentary services with a Groupon which I was impressed with! Very relaxing!
Susan Allen
I've gone to Accolades a couple of times for a full foil and cut. They have delicious cappuccinos and let me soak my feet while waiting for my color to set. They even offer a foot rub before washing my hair. They really put the extra effort in to make you feel pampered!
Nicole Waldman
Great, courteous, experienced staff. I have always had a wonderful cut or color coming out of Acolades! Definitely recommend this salon/spa! Might seem pricey but definitely worth it!
Gabrielle
I have had massages here from both massage therapists and they are both excellent! I feel safe at Accolades with their safety and health percautions and the best massage experience!
Nicole Blanchard
I've gone to Accolades for haircuts and waxing; both are always very pleasant experiences.
Everyone is really nice and professional, and you're offered herbal tea upon arrival (love that). Haircuts come with a free neck & shoulder rub! Waxing is done in a small room with a door (we all know they aren't always set up that way), with low-lighting and a heated, contoured table covered in a sheet. It's very comfortable and pleasant, and their aestheticians have superb technique.
Other comments are right -- you pay a little more, but it's worth it, especially when you can pick up an internet promotion/coupon.

I love getting my hair done at Accolades. No matter who I see, I always leave feeling great (but Drea is my favorite).
Hayley Brandt
I'm always impressed with the services at Accolades! Alicia has never let me down, and has made my hair color look better than I could have ever imagined, for over a year now! I look forward to my roots growing in just to see what ideas she has for me next!
Barbara Swanson
The services at Accolades I've received have always been professional and
client-centered. Their procedures and products are clearly explained and feel great.
I have never felt pressured to purchase the products but have found some to be very
helpful. This is a very nice local business which is worth patronizing!
Ashley Pomeroy
OK! I am so so on this Salon. First time I was there I got me hair dyed I went from Black with red to light brown, The guy did an amazing job it wasn't blonde blonde but he brought it back to a more natural color. NOW the last time i was there for a hair, I told the lady on the phone I have a pixie hair cut..OK so I got an appointment I went in and.. ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE, I mean it was the worst hair cut i have ever had. The lady new nothing about short hair, but she acted like she did..All she did was take scissors and started to cut my entire hair, she didn't do any layering, razor shave nothing, I had bald spots all over my head, But it wasn't till i got outside that my cousin realized how bad it was in the back..take me to cost cutters and they would of done a better job.. Thankfully I got my money back
Suzie Gill
Shelly was awesome! My color is perfect, the scalp massage was wonderful and my blowout looks great!! I will definitely book with her as long as I am in MN!!

I've had some sensational haircuts at Accolades, and one of the best massages ever, but my last experience wasn't as terrific as previous ones have been.
The welcoming staff, great shampoo, very nice facial during the shampoo were all up to standard, but the stylist seemed - well - she seemed disappointed that she had to cut my hair.
I don't know whether I didn't seem hip enough, but her disdain was palpable. She cut me off as I was describing the style I'd like, "Sit down so I can see your hair."
So I sat. I showed her a picture of the cut I'd like - a picture I've used in the past at Juut salon with good results (as you can see in my profile pic) It's a photo of a woman near my age with a layered chin length cut.
I explained that my hair was very curly, and curled even more when it was shorter. It needs the weight of a small bit of length and the heaviness of my hair to allow it to lay nicely.
I told Alex that I never blow dried my hair, and that I did NOT want my hair thinned in ANY WAY. I just wanted it layered. (I know from experience that my curly hair will stick out like an afro when it's thinned.)
Unfortunately, evidently Alex didn't like cutting thick, curly hair because after an initial shaping with scissors, she gave me a complete blow out and FLAT IRONED my hair before the actual styling.
With my back to the mirror (perhaps not realizing I could easily see everything she was doing in the facing mirror) Alex took her shears and thinned my hair. She held a lock out at a 90º angle and chopped into it in 3 places, chop-chop-chop, all over my head. I was so stunned, I was dumbfounded. It was over before I could say anything.
Alex said, "That will feel SO MUCH BETTER, won't it, not so much hair!"
No, it' doesn't feel better, it feels like someone else's thin hair.
The smoothness of the cut lasted exactly until I showered and shampooed, when it curled into a shaggy, multi-length do reminiscent of Melanie Griffiths, circa 1998.
