I have a habit of doing "drop in" hair appointments to places that catch my eye at times. Having just moved to the Martin's Landing Area, I had been eyeing this Aveda salon, tucked in amongst a few great places my husband and I had eaten at. (And I don't mean the Wendy's!)

I was cruising home after a 12 hour night shift at work and a few hours of sun by a friend's pool when I decided it was time for haircut...at least.

After being a little nervous to walk in to this upscale looking salon in my yoga pants and T-Shirt, I was pleasantly met by not one, not two, but THREE smiling faces clamoring to see what fun I might be up for today.

I walked out with my classically stick straight, fine short hair in a fantastic perm completed by Kim, a hairsylist with enough crazy tales to keep you entertained (and awake!) in your seat for hours. I didn't even mind chillin' in the little "perm" room for smelly heads like myself.

Sam, a perky hairstylist, did my initial "dead end" before my perm and discussed possible colors for me later in the year.

After a quick trip to the wash bowl, pre perm, I recieved a fantastic 10 minute shoulder massage from Donna, which was an everwelcomed treat!

Overall this was a fantastic "drop-in" and I will be returning there often for all my hair care needs.

I just found the best salon in Duluth on Medlock Bridge Road. Michelle colored and cut my hair and I feel 10 years younger. I highly recommend this salon. The staff is extremely friendly.

This is an amazing salon. I have only had my hair cut at this place, but I love it. You walk in, get a free chair massage, and get an awesome haircut. Everyone is really sweet and friendly. I highly reccomend requesting Chanika for a haircut. She does an awesome job and takes her time making sure it's perfect! Maria is also a really great stylist, you won't be disappointed with anyone!

I have been going to this spa regulary for nearly three years. I love this place. The staff is friendly and the service is well. I love the facials; they are so relaxing and I fall asleep everytime (its because of the heated beds!). I also get my hair cut regulary here too. For all the curly-haired people out there, visit Ray or Oksana! I have never walked out mad with my new hair style.

I went to Joseph & Friends this week for the first time and was very impressed. When I made my same-day appointment and heard the price for a master and mid-level stylist, I requested a Junior stylist instead (reasonably priced at $28). They made my appointment with Shanika, a stylist with 4 months of experience. She did a wonderful job! First she listened carefully to what I wanted done and made a good suggestion for my hair style. In the shampoo room Tabby gave me a complimentary 10 minute back and neck massage. Then Shanika gave me a nice scalp massage when she washed my hair. It was very relaxing and felt great! The cutting process took a little longer than I expected, but it was well worth it! With the $15 coupon I printed off CitySearch dot com the cost including tips was only $24! The salon is clean with relaxing hip music. It looks likae the kind of salon that could be really trendy and snobby, but everyone I met acted nice and professionally with a mellow attitude. I would highly recommend Joseph & Friends and the stylist Shanika to anyone!
