Customer Reviews

What's most important to us is the satisfaction of our salon clients. Below is a sampling of the many satisfied customers that we've had the pleasure to serve in our over 20 years in Chapel Hill. They come from as close as Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Durham, Raleigh and the surrounding Triangle area to as far as Italy and the Bahamas. As a full service salon offering hair, body, nail and skin care services we've got a feedback on a wide range of services from hair styling, waxing, make-up, bridal services, manicures and pedicures to spa packages, massage, facials and sunless tanning. It's because of these great clients that we have been voted best hair salon in the Triangle year after year by Metro magazine, Chapel Hill News, Durham Herald Sun and others.

A special thanks to all of our loyal clients for sharing their salon experiences and we look forward to seeing you in our salon again soon.

"I've never had such an amazing haircut and color experience. I'm thrilled with it." — MB Braker

"I was a new client for a haircut last week and wanted to say thank you. I was pretty anxious about going somewhere new, but I've had your cut for a week now and even I, who am really bad with hair, can make it look pretty good. So thank you!" — Val P.

"Best studio for all of your bridal needs! As some of you know when you get married everything happens in tornado fashion and when it is the big day getting ready is no exception!

I had heard many good things about the stylist at Mina's and received nothing less than the best experience. Gwen, the bridal coordinator, made scheduling so painless. She was able to work in myself and five bridesmaids for hair, make-up and nail services without breaking a sweat and with only two weeks notice. She was prompt and polite in each of our email exchanges and was there on the day to make sure everything ran smoothly which felt very personal, it was nice.

I ended up being paired with Tiffany for my make up and Gabi for my hair. Tiffany was a doll, she is very sweet and my make up looked beautiful and was done in a very natural way. Gabi was incredibly fast and provided me with exactly what I wanted for my up-do. She truly has talent.

All of us looked great and I cannot thank the staff at Mina's enough for helping make my big day a little less stressful with such great service." — SilentShutter (Citysearch)

Whether I need a great haircut, color, style, wax, manicure or pedicure I know that I can count on Mina's to do an excellent job.

Not only do they have wonderful, experienced professionals working there, their customer service is terrific. You always leave looking and feeling your very best." — Ellen Shannon

"I did want to say many thanks, especially to Heidi for the fabulous massage. If I could afford it, I would be there once a week to work on my neck and shoulders. And to Jenny for the facial - its a small thing, but my eyebrows (post-waxing) have never looked so neat!" — Linden E.

"Jessie always makes me happy, but this time, I was in the mood for a REALLY DRASTIC change, and she came through! I trust her judgement and skills implicitly ...today I no longer have long blonde hair but short dark red hair and I cannot begin to tell you how right on she was with that suggestion! I heart Jessie" — Kristin

The staff is highly professional (they are really experts) and the studio itself exudes comfort in its layout and furnishings. The support staff even know your name! Because I am a busy person (who isn't these days?), I am impressed with on time (always) appointments and truly unique experience each time I visit. Definitely would recommend Mina's to others!" — Peter Capezio

The various services offered, the ideal location and attractive salon contribute to the enjoyable and pleasant experience. And I love the fresh flowers." — Suzanne Key
