Allen Ray Salon / James Irving Grooming (Uptown), Minneapolis MN

I’ve been coming to James Irving (formerly Winston’s) for over two years and have had my hair cut by Kyle, Matt, Eric and Dreu. They have all been awesome, super attentive and great to talk to. The service is thorough, fast and efficient. In addition, they have great advice as far as style and hair products go. If you’re looking for a new barber shop to get your haircut and want to look dapper, this is your place! Glad to be a returning client!

I've been getting a hair trim and color here for over 10 years - I figured I finally owed them a positive review! They are consistently excellent and a great value for the price. I have seen four different stylists over the years and each once has been awesome. I highly recommend them. Tim O'

Bethany has an incredible ability to read the right hair style for your face shape. Wow great work.

This place is great. The greetings are friendly, the conversation lively, and Drue gives amazing haircuts!

This is a great place with a comfortable atmosphere and friendly, skilled staff. Grab a drink and relax while you wait for a professionally done haircut. You definitely get what you pay for in terms of grooming as well as customer service and reliability.

Yeah. Told barber I liked the length on top and sides, shorten up the back. When hair dried a while later, I realized he took three inches of the top. Side burns didnt even match. I guess maybe I'm an idot for not paying attention but i thoight i was dealing with a professional. I won't be back.

Best place down to get a haircut. Love everyone I go there. Highly recommend. Located in the skyway.

I've been going to Allen Ray salon for years and it has been a consistently great experience. The staff, product and location are always the best quality and I'm never disappointed.

There are no shortage of good reasons for treating yourself to a really excellent haircut, and Amanda is a master of her craft. Whatever sort of cut you're looking for, rest assured you'll leave her chair with the best possible rendition.

Heather gives me both excellent and consistent haircuts every appt. She listens to what I want, adds her opinion in and gives the haircut we both agree on every time. Highly recommend.

Been getting my haircuts here for about a year. Great, friendly service, professional atmosphere, and competitive pricing.

Amanda always gives me a great haircut and the hot towel, neck and scalp massage is a very nice addition.

Amanda has been cutting my hair since 2003. Not many people around here can cut Asian men's hair. She does great work and its always been a relaxing and pleasant experience. She's a pro for sure.

I just got the best haircut of my life here, everyone was super friendly and my stylist Daniel Braaten not only did an amazing job on my hair, but also was incredibly nice and really fun to talk to. From now on I’m coming here for all of my haircuts, and will highly recommend this place and Daniel to any of my friends or family!

I've been coming to Allen Ray for the past 8 months or so and I could not be happier with my experience. Heather has great attention to detail and skills as a men's hairstylist. If you want a better level of service and style, give Heather a call, you won't be disappointed.

Solest Devers is an OUTSTANDING stylist. My hair is notoriously thick and hard to deal with. Many a stylist have tried and failed to tame the wild beast that seethes atop my brain. She, with her expert intuition, has killed the game since day one. So much so, that I followed her to Allen Ray Salon. Her work puts the swagger in my step.

I LOVE going to Allen Ray. Every hair appointment is like a mini spa day - I get a complementary beverage, massage, and facial! Both staff and clients are absolutely wonderful. Amanda and Natalie run a fantastic business. The prices are reasonable and the service is first class.

I always get an amazing haircut by Celeste, she’s an artist, a Frida Kahlo with hair clippers. I will never go to another salon as long as I live in Minneapolis. Great service, even better people!

Elle is amazing! She has been cutting and styling my hair for years and I always leave satisfied. Pricing is reasonable and the environment is very relaxing. The staff is always friendly and welcoming.

I've been going to Solest for my past 3 haircuts and I've loved every single one of them! I used to hate getting my haircut and would put it off for as long as I can, now I go back every 3 weeks and look forward to it! She does a great job and knows my hair and know what looks good! Great place to go for anyone that wants a great haircut/experience for a great price!

Didn't have any go to haircut places in Minneapolis so I decided to check out Allen Ray Salon. 5 stars all across the board. Solest, my stylist, was super friendly and gave me the exact haircut I wanted. Highly recommended.
