Salon Ystad 1743 South 1st Street, Milwaukee, WI 53204

"Mekenna is the absolute BEST! I love her approach as a stylist, which is unique to all other experiences I’ve had. She really takes her time and does not rush. She feels your hair and talks to you about your hair goals and vision for your cut while also working in how certain things will work with your hair type (eg. thickness, texture, cowlicks, etc). As she cuts she checks in and is completely in offended by changes you may request or questions you may have. She is very friendly, open and chatty and she is true to herself. I feel very comfortable with her and respect her as a person and stylist. I was able to reach my scary goal with her of going very short with my hair after having it long. She made me feel confident and let me go there when I was ready and with baby steps. Not sure if I would have made the plunge with anyone else. She’s the best. She is also very LGBTQ+ friendly and the first thing she asks upon your initial appt are your pronouns. Don’t hesitate, go see her!"

"There is no one I trust more with my hair than Mekenna at Salon Ystad! She is highly professional, cleanly, and always ready to tackle my ambitious fashion color dreams! i feel that she can work with absolutely anybody and deliver a hair style that suits them! her instagram portfolio of work clearly demonstrates that she can cut, style and dye all kinds of hair for all kinds of people. i also appreciate the other stylists at Salon Ystad for keeping the environment clean, Covid safe, and friendly!"

"I’ve been seeing Lesa for about 4 years now. She is simply the best. Her salon is clean, cozy, welcoming, and has the best natural light that shines through all day. Lesa is professional, particular, and precise. My blonde highlights and haircut are ALWAYS perfect. My picky, curly haired husband also sees Lesa- he refuses to go anywhere else. Salon Ystad is Milwaukee’s hidden gem. Highly recommend."

"Lesa is the only stylist I know who can actually cut super straight hair so that I look like a professional. She is kind and thoughtful about her work. Being in her salon is always a pleasure. She gives 100% of her attention to you during our appointments. I will have no one else cut my hair. Excellent."

"I go to Less Ystad for 12 years already. She is a great hair stylist, and a wonderful person. Her services are not inexpensive, but in my mind they worth every penny! She was also very good during the pandemic, following all the governmental recommendations - no matter how hard it sometimes was for her business. I am so happy that she opened her own saloon, and wish all the success she certainly deserves!"
