Read More On Citysearch soaringspirit 3/19/2010 - Nice People!We had a girls day of beuaty before my son's wedding at Mina's and it was a great experience. 10 women getting manicures, pedicures and hair could have been a nightmare, but the staff handled it with ease and grace. Even though two of the bridesmaids were 30 minutes late, we were all ready to go when the limos arrived.

But this was my first Brazilian wax... let me just say I was beyond nervous. The moment I walked I was greeted with smiles, and the ladies at the desk were willing to go out of there way to help calm my nerves. Jenny was the name of the lady who waxed me, she was extremely sweet and even more talented. Her 19 years of experience sho...

From the time you enter the salon you have a very friendly and helpful receptionist to when you have a pleasant time with the hair stylist. Alejandra cut my hair and put highlights in it. She did a very good job of improving my appearance and I did go back. Next time I received a p...

I've always been treated great by the employees at the front and the service employees. I've had great experience with my hair stylists that is always suggesting new ideas and maki...

I have never had reception be rude to me, NEVER had them make a mistake, and have NEVER had a bad haircut. A few times they have been average, but over such a long period of time, this seems inevitable to me. I have seen four or five of the stylists there. Luann is the color guru. I always get compliments ...

The service was the worse than I would get at other places for a quarter of the price. The only perk was that they brough me some water while I was getting my pedicure.

This is the second time that I went in for just a "trim" and explained to the stylist that I was trying to grow my hair long and she cut it...short...again.

I have gone to this salon for a few years. Always been generally happy with the cuts, color is fine (not earth-shattering), but I have never appreciated the customer service. The people I encounter (from the desk to the chair) are not particularly nice and treat me as though it is MY honor to be there and pay them. I pay a great deal of money for cuts, highlights and babysitting while I am there....

The hospitality and service has diminished with every visit.

In each case, the reception at the front was less than welcoming and almost rude. I've been in customer service for over 10 years and I couldn't believe that attitude was acceptable to the management. The cut and style I received cost $56 and I walked out with my hair still wet underneath despite ...

Tsafi is one of the best hairdressers I've ever had. Though I had doubts about going so short, she really knew what would look best on me! I enjoy the visits and chatting, and they're always professional and 99% on time. Will continue to go as long as I live in the area!

She's the owner, and yesterday she cut my hair and wasn't listening to a word I said. Other stylists kept talking to her and she was looking around the salon the whole time.

A respectable business would try and get back the clients they lost by readjusting their staff and offering a deal or a free service. Obviously Minas has no clue and if they make it 2 more years in the business I will be shocked. Get off your high horse and hire people who truly care about their job and the customer, who ...

Read More On Citysearch happycrowd 9/19/2007 - what in the world are you guys thinking?!?!?What the heck!!! Mina's should be ashamed for the attitude problem they have. No one should ever be treated or talked down to like that. They shouldn't justify what they did, but try to apologize. One of the first rules in customer serivce is knowing that the customer is always right. They are the ones paying your rent.

If you want a Rod Stewart haircut, they might be okay, but if you want a classic blunt or precision cut don't go here.

When I called for an emergency cut with my favorite stylist, I was told she wasn't available for several days, but the kind receptionist offered to put me on a waiting list and they'd give me call if anything opened up. To my surprise, they called later the same day and worked me in! I was impressed with the level of customer service...

They always try to work around my schedule, and make me feel as though I am the only customer they will have that day. Its always refreshing to feel as though I'm on a...

I was really nervous about getting a brand new style, but I couldn't be more thrilled! I'd recommend Mina's to anyone in the Triangle.
Read More On Citysearch sarapants2668 5/9/2006 - User review by becg07WORST salon experience ever! They did not follow my instructions, gave me a horrible haircut cutting off 5 inches when i came in for a trim, and were incredibly rude when I expressed my unhappiness. I was really shocked but their unexpectable attitude. I would never recommended this salon to anyone!

Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 4/19/2006 - unfortunate highlightsI have been to Minas more than a few times over the years and gotten everything from decent service to, the last time I went, just plain awful! I won't be going back, and would not reccomend them. For almost 200 dollars I got streaky, fake looking highlights and an uneven haircut. I was rushed throught the whole thing and had to leave with wet hair.

I've come to realize that "word of mouth" is more than a cliche. An always fabulous looking co-worker of mine recommended me to Jaymie at Mina's salon. I am so pleased! Jaymie listened to my needs and made color suggestions...
Read More On Citysearch imduff 2/21/2006 - middle of the roadWhile it is not a chain salon, it is what it is--mediocre. Do not expect the hairdo that will transform your life, but it is a friendly enough atmosphere and you will get your money's worth for a basic cut and style. You wil find yourself at home though and it is good to be comfortable.
PROS: price
CONS: it's okay

They call it Queen for a Day, and thats exactly how I felt. The staff was very personable and all the services were way beyond my expectations. I'm still getting compliments on my hair color (thanks Eileen). Next time I'm in town I'll definitely be back!

But after a few minutes in the chair Heather knew exactly what I was going for and created the best look for me. The Mina's Studio stylists know what their doing and now I know where to go for the best in hair.

Read More On Citysearch maryjaneunc 1/3/2006 - notsomuchSadly this salon is not worth a repeat visit. I hoped to have a more trendy cut, and walked out with average ho-hum. The color was not even close to what I was told I would get. I had to go somewhere else to have it fixed.
Read More On Citysearch cmarkos 1/1/2006 - Great Experience and New Friends at MinasLove the atmosphere and people at Minas. Looking for the big city beauty salon feel but wanted to friendly atmosphere and I found it with Mina's Studio. Andre welcomed me right when I came in and that started a great afternoon at the salon. I like that they can provide so many different services to cover massage, manicure, hair, etc. Worked out great being close to Franklin Street too!!
Read More On Citysearch ru2fortunate199 12/29/2005 - Not always worth the moneyI used Minas once for my hair and found it overpriced for the cut I got. Nothing specia. It is also confusing because as a new customer you don't know what price range the stylist you are assigned falls into. I love the manicures and pedicures there but $60 is too much for my toes! The manicure is very reasonably priced.
PROS: Trendy, full service salon
CONS: overpriced

For those of us who "dare to bare" (brazilian wax - eek!), this was the best wax I've had in quite a while. My esthetician, Angela, made me feel comfortable in what could have been an awkward situation. This was definetly the least painful brazilian wax ever. So if you are looking for a thorough bikini wax, go for it.
