I'm breaking the Yelp rules. Hey, at least I'm honest about it. I'm not supposed to write a review of someone I know, but I read someone else's review that said to this effect, "how can I NOT know this business, when I've been a client for so long?" So it is with Salon Nouveau. I've known Jen - the owner - since I was in high school. (Let's just say that's PLENTY of years ago.) She worked for a different salon back then, and my first experience with her was an updo for my junior year prom. Since that day, I've gotten my hair cut by Jen more than anyone else. Why do I continue to have a hairdresser in Brainerd, MN, when I live in St. Paul, you might ask. Well, it's because she's that good. Whether I want her to give me long layers or chop off all my locks, perm me or give me a cool updo, I'd choose Jen over any alternative! She has a gift with hair in general, but I also love her because she has no problem working with my thick, crazy-wavy hair. I even converted my mother to using Jen - versus "whoever happens to be available when I need a haircut" - AND she uses product now. My mom. Product. See, Jen's THAT good :) Keep up the good work, Jen, and thanks for all the years of great hair!
