I've been consistently impressed with Ficocello's.
The salon itself is nice; nothing fancy, but it's clean and pleasant and parking isn't too tricky. The staff is very friendly, and their prices are reasonable.
This is a great place to go if you're like me and have curly hair. I've had bad experiences at other salons where stylists have cut off way too much hair, not realizing how much curly hair like mine shrinks when it dries, or have cut the type of layers appropriate for straight hair rather than curly. That has never happened at Ficocello's.
I've been going to see Alex at the Snelling Avenue location for a while now, and he always does a fantastic job of layering and shaping my hair so that it looks nice not only when I leave the salon, but as it grows in between cuts as well.
I highly recommend Ficocello's (and Alex) for other curly-haired people.
