Meraki Hair Lounge

Meraki Hair Lounge operates as a hair salon in Minneapolis and Saint Paul, with spa and esthetician services alongside its haircut and styling work. The business says giving back to the community is the foundation of what it does, and it describes its philosophy as balancing beauty with wellness.

The salon was set up to give stylists a place to be mentored, with their time and talent valued. Stylists work independently, and the business invites stylists who want to start their own business to do so with it. Meraki Hair Lab is a mentorship program for stylists who want advanced education and room to grow.

Community work includes workshops for young people, which began during the 2020 lockdowns and include guided meditations. On the spa side, reiki massage is offered and is described as intended to reduce stress, and skin treatments are performed by an esthetician, including an anti-aging treatment.

New clients complete a short intake form before booking so the salon can match them with a suitable stylist. Appointments are booked online at least 24 hours in advance, and changes are handled directly with each stylist. The Minneapolis entrance is on North Colfax Avenue, with free street parking on Glenwood Avenue. Hours are Monday to Friday 9am to 7pm and Saturday 8am to 4pm.

Balances beauty with wellness, with giving back to the community at the center of the work.

The salon describes its space as a safe place where beauty and wellness meet, and the Minnetonka page describes a serene, comfortable setting.
