T.N.

Now that I have a career job.  I can afford a decent fashion sense.  Now knowing what I want or what fits my face and head shape I decided to go to an asian stylist.  I made an emphasis on this because honestly.  Our hairs are not made equal.  My hair is coarse and straight.  I went to Min because of word of mouth and I was not disappointed.

She is very attentive and sweet.  Over the years I have been going here, we've built up a report, but thats normal between stylist/barber and patron.

Every time I go here I just tell Min, "make me look good," because I never had a decent styled hair cut before (just went to super cuts and got a flat top).  Very nicely textured and layered.  Needless to say I was very happy and so was my girlfriend at the time.  Soon I was more "knowledgeable" into what my hair can do, and now I just tell her what I want, and magically she executes it flawless. 

For the guys, if you are new to stylists come here and let Min "make you look good" for a fair price.

I have been going to Min for 7 years and I can't say enough wonderful things about Min or the Salon.  My highlights always look spectacular and people always ask me where I get it done.  I can't recommend Salon Mint enough!

It's been over 6 months since I moved away from DC, and when I'm asked what I miss most about the area, I say my hairstylist at Salon Mint!

Min cut/colored my hair for 4+ years, and I never once had a complaint.  I was looking for a stylist who knew Asian hair but could speak fluent English, because whenever I went to a non-Asian stylist, they always seemed at a loss as to how to tame my thick mane of unruly hair---so much so that I almost felt sorry for them!  :P  And whenever I went to a Korean stylist before Min, I often had a hard time communicating what I wanted.   I used to dread getting haircuts, but after finding Salon Mint, it became a pampering session that I looked forward to every 2-3 months.  This place is amazing, and word seems to have gotten out about it.  I remember it getting more and more difficult to get an appointment toward the end of my stay in NoVA as the salon got more and more popular.

It's a darn shame that I'm a poor grad student who can't afford to fly over to DC just to get haircuts.  I have yet to find a stylist in Atlanta/Nashville as awesome as Min.  SAD!

I've been looking for a stylist that knew color as I haven't highlighted my hair in several years and was nervous to do so after so long.  On a whim based off reviews from yelp, I booked an appointment with Min a week in advance.  Though she's usually booked, it was well worth the week wait.  I arrived about 5-10 minutes early so didn't have much of a wait and my appointment was on time.  During my wait, I was asked if I cared for a beverage (great customer service).  I was greeted by Min personally where we sat and talked about exactly what I was looking for, and she provided suggestions on what she thought would look good for me.  I asked for subtle highlights, and that's exactly what I got.  Min was very attentive to my needs and I could tell she knew what she was doing.  Not only was she professional, but very personable, and I could tell she really cared.  The cut was even fantastic, from my layers to the cut and style of my bangs.  There wasn't a question Min couldn't answer.  I rarely say I love a cut, but after many years, I can say I loved both the cut and color.  The prices are comparable to other salons and my overall experience and results were great, which made what I paid for worth every penny.  I will definitely be back!

I went back to Min last week for a major change. I needed something different and she delivered. First she did an initial cut of 8 inches! Then did a baseline angled bob and finished up with a bunch of texture. I'm always amazed by the amount of time and detail she takes with me - and I'm sure every other customer.

Once again I'm so glad I've found a legit place to get my hair cut so close to home without paying outrageous prices. Can't say enough good things about this place.

I'm a low maintenance girl. I don't get my hair cut NEARLY as often as I should. It's just a lot of work, you know? Making the appointment, getting out to the place, sitting in the chair for two hours.

Okay, maybe lazy's the word. I'm a lazy girl.

The endless stream of compliments I receive when I emerge from Salon Mint with a new haircut, though? That's some serious motivation to get my butt to the salon more often.

And I don't just get your run-of-the-mill compliments [not that those are bad] when I go to Salon Mint. I get *second* compliments.

Second compliments, for those who don't know [and that's probably most of you, because I kind of just made it up] are when someone goes out of their way to compliment you AGAIN on something that you've just changed or purchased, or what-have-you. Like coming back five minutes later to say, "No, seriously, I really like the haircut."

Yeah, second compliments are pretty awesome. And now Min's going to have some new clients, because I definitely have been making referrals left and right. With two awesome stylists under the same roof, Salon Mint is quite a powerhouse.
