Audra is fantastic! She fixed my color from a previous error at another salon. It’s perfection! The cut and color were both done how I wanted. She listens to her customer and makes sure they get the service they are looking for. I look forward to many years of service with her.
If you are looking for a personalized hair experience this is the spot to be! To start, I am a very picky individual with a high attention to detail and I can wholeheartedly say Defy Hair MPLS will have you leaving their salon happy as can be! They provide a clean, respectful, fun, and positive environment with an open and accepting mentality. Not once have I ever felt judged but rather treated with care and kindness. Audra has helped me achieve and work towards all my hair goals! She has a genuine passion for hair paired with a highly experienced ever growing skillset. Seamless she took me from a full head of galaxy colors to the iciest blondes with a full set of custom toned extensions. All the while not leaving a strand of color behind. Just looking for a haircut only? No problem! She will work with you to achieve all the hair goals. Her skills are unparalleled when put up against any other stylist I have seen in the past. Defy Hair MPLS is amazing!
Awesome, independent, hair salon with the coolest vibes. Bright and welcoming atmosphere with a nice street view. My FAV part of the suite was the art wall. Booking was fast, had my consultation on a Friday and my hair appointment the next day. Prices are reasonable and they depend on what you are looking to get done. Claire was my stylist and she was attentive, professional, and very kind. She was also enthusiastic about me becoming a potential client (which was a big plus for me). Overall very happy with my experience and I recommend Defy Hair 100%
I’ve been getting my hair cut by Hannah at Defy Hair MPLS for years, and I couldn’t be happier. She’s skilled, consistent, and always takes the time to make sure I leave with a cut that looks great and works for my lifestyle. On top of that, she’s super easy to talk to and creates a relaxed, professional vibe. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a stylist who really knows what they’re doing!
I’m a trans girl who hasn’t gone to get a hair cut in a couple years due to my fear and bad past experiences. I wasn’t exactly sure what i wanted going in but Audra was very kind and helped me talk through what i wanted and what might look best on me. Had a great experience, she was really understanding and very social through the whole thing. Got a nice trim, some extra layering done, and bangs! I think it looks amazing and walked out feeling much much more confident in my looks than before. (1st pic is before, 2nd and 3rd after)
