You'll never leave unsatisfied. \r \r If you're visiting for the first time, set up an appointment with Lane-- he is incredible!! more

I have been seeing Lane at Mina's and HIGHLY recommend him. We started with a long talk about my hair, what worked and didn't work. Then, he did not just CUT my hair, he DESIGNED a look for me. Not only did it look better than my hair has ever looked, it is so easy to style that I barely think about it. I used to go through the day fussing with my hair and checking it constantly, but now I can style it in the morning and forget about it. It looks just as good by the end of the day. See Lane, you won't regret it. more

I have been going to Mina's for a few years, off and on. But this year they hired Lane, a wonderful stylist with great knowledge of cutting, coloring and products for my hair. Lane is one of the best stylists I've had for several years... I've been to so many stylists in the area but have never received such great cuts and color as I have with Lane. He's just the greatest! If you are looking for a new stylist, visit Mina's and ask for Lane! more

I've been going to Jessie Van Der Puy for years, I was surprised to get a call saying she had left suddenly. Because no one would tell me where she went and I needed to get my hair done I accepted an appointment with Lane. Big mistake!!! He was condescending, rude and didn't listen to a word I said. I left with the worst cut and highlights of my life. I was so upset I did a little digging and found Jessie at Bella Trio the highway 55 location. The number is (919)484-1221. I've learned my lesson I will follow Jessie wherever she goes ( once my hair grows back that is). more

I miss my stylist Jessie Van Der Puy, I did a little digging and found her at Bella Trio in durham! more

I have been to several hair salons in the Triangle Area and Mina's by far as out-serviced them all! I have always had a very pleasant experience here. I have curly hair and have always been very picky with my haircuts. Sheila does a magnificent job and always has the best recommendations for my hairstyles! The front office staff has always been very friendly and helpful over the phone and in the office. They respond very quickly to emails and their online service is great! I also cannot rave more about the barista Matt! His lattes are AMAZING! :) Pros: null Cons: null more

I can't say enough great things about Maria. She is an absolute expert with color! She also gives excellent, flattering hair cuts. On top of all of that, Maria is super friendly and she gives useful advice on what to do to manage your hair at home. So helpful!!! I highly recommend her. You won't be disappointed. :) Pros: null Cons: null more

My husband thought he was getting a great hair cut before. Then he went to Lane at Mina?s and was so impressed that he begged me to come in and see him too! I was not let down! I was ready for a change and Lane gave me exactly what I wanted. We did a complete color change and cut my hair short. He talked me through the shades of red we were looking at and picked the perfect color. Last time I asked someone to take me darker they put a ton of foils in and I walked out with 4 colors of stripes repeating all the way down my head?plus I was just a little darker blonde than when I walked in. What shocked me even more was the owner of that salon inspected my hair before I left and said it was fantastic (he advertises himself as a stylist for celebrities). I complained a couple of times to the person that did my hair and she said ?Oh, well we can change it next time you come in.? Of course I had no intentions of coming back after that. Lane fixed my hair for me and he even checked in a few days later to make sure that I was happy!! He honestly cares and wants you to be happy with his work!! I also like the fact that Mina?s is a full service salon. It is about a 45 min drive for me to drive to Mina?s but I am going to keep making that trip! Pros: null Cons: null more

Even though I live in Raleigh, I followed Lane to Mina's when he moved from a studio closer to me because he is just a wonderful and talented stylist. He knows what I want for my hair and also makes suggestions for subtle, more updated changes, and he incorporates them slowly from visit to visit so I can grow more comfortable with them. I had an appointment yesterday, and we have been talking for about the past four days about a new direction for my hair, and he talked me through the whole thing - from color to cut to how to style it myself. I have never trusted a stylist more - EVER. When I walk out of there, I feel like a million dollars and everyone gives me so many compliments. I have always been told I have beautiful hair, but I have not ever known what to do with it until Lane. He is simply THE BEST. I wish I could post a picture to this review to show everyone just how good he makes me look! Get an appointment with Lane NOW before he's totally booked up! And you'll totally enjoy your time at Mina's - the entire staff is so welcoming and friendly!!! Pros: null Cons: null more

BEST SALON IN THE TRIANGLE! I followed Lane, the little bald guy, from his previous salon to Mina's because I love what he has done for my hair and I know several other people that feel the same way and also followed him to Mina's. He is very talented, listens to me, and has great ideas but isn't at all pushy. Most of all, he has integrity. Love the atmosphere of Mina's too; everyone is friendly and the owner is very personable. It's clear that her employees like working for her! Pros: null Cons: null more

Today was my first visit to Mina's, and I was not disappointed. The atmosphere is so open, light and friendly. It was comforting just to walk through the door. Not only were the stylists pleasant, but they were also very skilled. Lane fixes my hair and does an excellent job, but I also saw other clients walking away beautiful and happy! This is definitely the place to be! Pros: null Cons: null more

I searched for years for my stylist soul mate, which I found several years ago at another salon in Chapel Hill. I was over the moon! But I was devastated when she relocated to New York and I found myself back at the drawing board. After trying a couple different stylists at different salons, I happened upon a new stylist that had just moved here from Baltimore. How ecstatic I was to discover love for the second time! Pros: null Cons: null more

Worst experience in a salon ever!!!!! I went to Mina's because I needed a change from my old stylist and I could not believe what happened while I was there. First of all they gave me there newest stylist, I cannot remember his name but I went in for highlights and a cut. When I sat down I felt like he did not listen to me at all about the colors or the way I wanted my haircut. But like I said I wanted a change and after all he is supposed to be the professional! So as he is doing my hair he is just rambling on and on about the salon he just came from in Raleigh and how bad he hated the owner and then also about all the drugs he used to do and how he is now in AA. Well that is great but save it. I went there despite some mixed reviews but never expected to get this kind of service. After washing my hair I looked in the mirror and I was horrified! The color was an orange-red when I stated in the beginning that I wanted nice blonde highlights, so we had to go in and put more color on to get to that color (which I had to ...

Kati is the only one to trust for your waxing. Great job and remarkably pain free, even in those sensitive areas. Thank you, Kati! Pros: null Cons: null more

I should have gone out and skimmed the reviews before going to Mina's and trusting my hair to their stylists.\r \r I have a very simple style and went in for a trim. A mere trim! The stylist didn't even listen to me. They went ahead and did what they wanted to do, and quite unapologetically! I emerged with bangs (which I despise and will now take forever to grow out!). There are all these wispy layers of hair that fall into my face and are very irritating. When I told them I was unhappy and that this wasn't what I asked for, they offered to cut more! \r \r I am astonished at the lack of professionalism. And lack of skill and total disregard for the customer. This was likely the worst haircut I have ever had.\r \r Don't go there unless you have a recommendation for a specific stylist from a person you TRUST! \r \r \r \r \r Thank you insider pages! I will do my homework next time. more

Full legs, Brazilian, eye brows and under arm wax ? all in 45 min by Miss Jenny. Pros: null Cons: null more

I have been going to Kati for Brazilian waxes for months now. She does, by far, the best job I have ever had. The waxing is always quick, clean, and as least painful as possible. I will not go anywhere else to have this service done. I highly recommend trying Kati! more

I have been seeing Molly for over a year for brow shapings. She does an AMAZING job! You will be very pleased with her work! She shapes and thins your brows without thinning too much. I went somewhere else for a few months because of being out of town and I could not wait to come back to Molly! more
