Mina's Studio

Kelley is the best! I had been driving to Richmond to get my hair cut by the stylist I used in college but finally found someone down here that I like. She does a great job! I also love Heidi's massages. She's hilarious and is great at giving a really deep massage (but she'll also be quiet and give you a lighter massage if you want) :) Pros: good availability of appointments, fun staff Cons: the money leaving my wallet :) more

I can only say wonderful things about Kelley Shaw. I strongly recommend her for a great haircut! She knows how to work with long hair, which isn't always easy. Overall I had a very positive experience at Mina's. more

i WANTED TO TREAT MYSELF TO A NICE DAY AT A SPA AND WAS REFERRED TO MINAS. IT WAS ONE OF THE WORST EXPERIENCES I HAVE EVER HAD. STAFF IS REALLY RUDE AND BY NO MEANS ARE THEY "GREAT". i DO NOT KNOW WHY PEOPLE THINK THIS PLACE IS WONDERFUL... tHEY SEEM TO CATER TO THE OVER 60 CROWD. i WILL NEVER GO BACK OR RECOMMEND MINAS Pros: NONE Cons: RUDE STAFF more

This was my first visit to Mina's and I will definitely be back! I had a bikini wax by Angela and my eyebrows done by Molly. Both were professional, on time, and wonderful! It was my first bikini wax and Angela put me at ease (I was terrified!). The outcome was perfect and I am now addicted! Molly really took her time on my eyebrows and did not let me leave until she felt they were perfect. She called it her "OCD" (smile). I walked out of there looking great and ready for vacation. Thanks Angela and Molly!! Pros: on time, friendly service, good bikini wax price Cons: line at the front counter, pricey eyebrow waxing more

What a disappointement. I went for a maniucure & pedicure expecting the best one I have ever gotten since they charge so much. Little did I know I would be drying my nails by holding them in front of a $5 fan. Person did an OK job but for the price they charge you deserve a lot better than they provide. more

This was my first visit to Mina's. I had a manicure done by Carlos this morning and I really enjoyed myself. He did a great job on my nails (one of the best manicures I've had in a while), but most importantly, the salon and equipment were clean (right out of the barbicide container). I also really enjoyed talking with Carlos while he did my nails. Some nail techs leave you hanging in awkward silence while they work, but he was easy to talk to and had a lot of interesting things to say. Overall, a great experience! Pros: Friendly staff, parking, clean Cons: none more

I have had nothing but great experiences with Holly and their manicure/pedicure staff. I have used them for several years since living in Chapel Hill and love their work and appreciate their overall service. The main downside is they won't accept tips on credit cards which IMO short-changes their staff of deserved tips. Pros: Excellent stylists and mani/pedi staff Cons: Expensive more

Very mediocre experience. Girl at front desk was kinda mean. Haircut and style was fine but nothing extra special. Pros: Parking Cons: Expensive more

I regularly get stopped by strangers who want to know where I got my hair cut. They wind up truly amazed when they find out it is colored as well. Louann is the best! more

I moved to the South from up North and suddenly my straight hair went into frizz-action I'd never seen the likes of on me. Pros: Creat professional staff at all levels more

After having several botched colors and cuts at other salons, it is always comforting to know that I can count on Heather for hair that I am pleased with and that gets lots of compliments. Thanks again for a great job! Pros: parking, salon hours more

Martha is the Queen of the 1 Hour Pedicure! I run, play tennis, and am hard on my feet, but they are soft and callous-free thanks to Martha. I see her once a month without fail, and she keeps me on my feet and in sandals! Her leg massage keeps me coming back for more! more

I tried several different spas in the area with average results before I found Mina's Studio. Mina's is by far the best place in the Triangle for a manicure and pedicure. I would definitely recommend Martha for the pedicures. Martha does an excellent job and is very professional and courteous to her clients. Thank you Mina's Studio for providing such quality service! more

Best pedicure in town!!! Mina's is THE spot for pedicures! Try and ask for Martha - she does the BEST job I've been to in North Carolina! Pros: Parking, pedicure Cons: price, highlights aren't great more

While the atmosphere at Mina's is pleasant enough, LouAnn is not the color expert she advertises herself to be on the Mina's website. Twice I have left the salon to come home and find that my roots are red and the rest of my hair is brown. The first time I thought maybe she didn't notice since I left with wet hair and someone else washed me out so I went back the next day to left her try to fix it. It was better but still not an exact match. The second time, LouAnn cut and dried my hair after she did my color. She commented that she would need to tweak my formual next time but never said anything to indicate that my roots were once again not the same color as the rest of my hair. This time is actually worse because the first couple of inches of my hair off my scalp are three different colors. The worst part about this is that I was allowed to leave the studio with bad hair and the burden is put on me to go back to have it fixed. I am too disgusted at this treatment to go back to have it fixed. I also know another woman who had the exact same experience at Mina's. Obviously, they like to charge quality prices without providing quality service. more

This is a nice salon. They do everything too, from waxing to make-up. You can be confident that they will do a fine job b/c everyone is well trained. There was a little pressure to buy products, but just in the form of recommendations which is helpful if you're looking for something new. It's a little pricey for the service, though. I felt like I was paying for the peace of mind of knowing I was at a professional salon--which can be worth it. Pros: Great Stylists, Nice Atmosphere Cons: On the more expensive end more

My friends at Mina's Studio helped me out once again in a hair emergency and gave me a great cut (thanks Alejandra!) and I topped it off with a relaxing body massage from Heidi. I drove from Raleigh to get there but it wasn't too far off Hwy 40 and if you avoid rush hour it doesn't take too long. What I liked once I got there was that there was actually a lot of parking which is rare in businesses in Chapel Hill near Franklin Street. When I got in someone greeted me right away and I had great service throughout my time there. I'm just beginning to try all the services Mina's has (hair services, massage, facials, manicures, make-up, bridal, sunless tanning, etc). So far everything I have had done I have been happy with and I plan to keep coming back. \r \r For those on a budget they now have an apprentice program with 2 new hairstylists that have graduated and have all their licenses and are supervised by the owners but the prices are more affordable. A friend had that done and was very h more

I have been to many other salons in the area, but I like Mina's most. Everyone there is friendly and professional, but I always get the best service and the best results. I love my new haircut--thanks! Pros: highly trained staff, never pushy more

In all fairness, my bad experience was with a single stylist. When I was (tactfully) unhappy with my hair, she became highly defensive and not only refused to correct it herself, but insisted that the other stylists could not "help" me either. I assume the management would have been more professional, if not apologetic, but I was so stunned, I didn't pursue it. And I can't help wondering if the employee's attitude reflects the employer's. This is the worst service I've ever received, bar none. more
