beKIND salon & spa 2479 County Road E East, Saint Paul, MN 55110

"I booked a "child haircut" online for my 12 year old, because you know, she's a child...the salon called me stating they had a cancelation and asked if we could come early. Sure let me rearrange my life, no problem. We got there and I was greeted by a woman who I think is the owner asking if the cut was for "her" pointing to my daughter. And then asking how old she was. When I said 12 she got super rude telling me they couldn't give her the child pricing...ok whatever I don't care about the money. Then she continued saying you know it's usually 10 and younger for child cuts "because they have all this hair at her age". Ok, but no where on the website does it specify this information...anywhere. Her response was "it's too hard to add that information". Seems like you could easily add it in the description of the child cut but what do I know. Then they took my kid back without ever asking my opinion on what we were doing with her hair. Never asked how much they should cut, just got after it letting the 12 y/o go rogue and make the all the decisions. I guess this makes sense since she's not a "child" after all. So 25 minutes, 1.5 inches, and a couple of curls later, we were done and home before our original appointment time. Seems like a "child" kind of cut to me but whatevs. Would I go back? Sure, because my daughter likes it there and she really seems to like Katie and it's close to home. Will I be welcomed back, unlikely based on the way I was treated today and because I'm leaving an honest review that isn't 5 stars. Seems like their "be kind" mantra was lacking today. The one thing they did offer was to "dry cut" her hair for a discount....uhhhh no thanks. Again, not about the money, it had everything to do with the way this woman approached me. I felt like I was attacked the minute we walked in the door and was super uncomfortable being there after that. So I guess next time I'll wait in the car since I wasn't part of any of the decision making anyway. All of this could have easily been avoided if somewhere on the website they define the age for their "child haircut"."

"Alyssa at the uptown location did an absolutely phenomenal job!!! I let her do what she felt would look the best with my face and skin tone and I am shocked how good my hair turned out. My new stylist from here on out!! So so so happy with how my hair turned out!"

"Great experience! BeKIND was beautiful, homey and clean. All the ladies were kind and inviting too. I felt very comfortable! Katie did awsome on my hair! She listened to my needs and did such a thorough job."

"Katie is an amazing stylist and gave me the perfect dye smudge!! She listened to all of my hopes and needs for my hair and took a specific approach that would work for me! She did an incredible job. She is someone I trust wholeheartedly with my hair going forward and someone I also find to be wonderful to talk with and know!! Bekind is my go-to salon now!! Couldn't recommend them enough!!"

"I have never had a bad experience here!! If I ever move away I’m still going to get my hair done here. Everyone is super nice, and Christian does a GREAT GREAT job with my hair which isn’t the easiest to handle!! I recommend bekind to literally everyone I know because they are just that good! :)"
