- AUAbby Urbaniak5 days ago1.0DO. NOT. GO. HERE. my boyfriend looks like Vector. The cut was so bad I swear they must hire people straight out of BEAUTY SCHOOL PARKING LOT. Not even graduates. Not even students. RANDOM PEOPLE WHO HAPPENED TO BE NEARBY. He asked for a simple trim and they gave him the “I steal the moon on weekends” starter pack. I almost called his mom to apologize because he looked like he was about to ask me for lunch money. This haircut set our relationship back 3–5 business years.
- JBJill BernardNov 2, 20255.0Thank you Daisy for the great haircut! Such a pleasant experience, you really listened to what I was looking for.
- BWBobby WoodardOct 28, 20255.0Nice staff and fast haircuts
- JYJustin YOct 16, 20251.0This was genuinely insane. I showed the lady a reference picture, she acted like she understood, so i trusted her. Very big mistake. She starts cutting my sides, essentially shaving it fully off. I thought it was too short but i decided to trust the process. Second biggest mistake. It got worse and worse. I knew it was cooked, i just wanted it to end. She didn’t clean my neck after the cut, hairs were all over my shirt, and I decided that this was a huge mistake and i was never coming back ever again. NO MATTER HOW BROKE YOU ARE, SAVE YOUR MONEY BY NOT COMING HERE. I’m cooked, im getting zero play. Thank you great clips, you’re buns. I would show a picture of my haircut, but i genuinely feel so chopped I can’t even. Js cut your own hair tbh
- MNManojkumar NarayananSep 26, 20251.0I had the absolute worst experience recently. Not only did they get the measurements wrong, as soon as I said they might have done it wrong, they hastily finished my haircut. They do a messy job if it's close to the closing time (6-7 PM). Went to St Paul great clips location to fix my haircut and the folks over there agreed that this was a mess. Horrible experience as always! Never coming back to Dinkytown.
