Summary

Hairpolice is a hair salon on West Lake Street in Minneapolis offering cuts, color, hair extensions, dreadlocks and braiding. The site's history begins with a salon opened in Los Angeles in 1999, and Kellie O'Rourke and Wendy Stachowicz became the new owners in 2000.

Sonia Peterson developed the pinch braid method for extensions and the dread perm. After Peterson's death in 2004, the co-owners refined their methods for human hair extensions and synthetic dreadlocks.

The team describes itself as a creative collective that sees hair as a form of self-expression and serves a diverse community. Stylists listen to clients and work with them toward the result they want, whether that is full rainbow extensions or a classic bob. The salon describes itself as having some of the most creative cutters in Minneapolis and as known for unique cuts.

Extensions are offered by pinch braiding or weaving, and a complimentary consultation helps clients choose between them. Dreadlock services include a free consultation with pricing and a recommendation from a stylist. Color prices are base prices, and longer or thicker hair costs more, so clients are asked to check with their stylist. The salon is open Monday to Friday 12 to 8 pm, Saturday 10 am to 6 pm, and closed Sunday.
