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

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.

Good place, bad service, bad haircuts. Everybody was slow, unorganized and out of sorts, explained how I wanted my hair cut and it seemed as though the barber either did not understand or just did not pay any attention. Finished product was horrible, way overpriced. I’m never going back. If you want a haircut in this area please go support Glen’s Barber Shop on 36th I’ve never had a bad experience there! Tried multiple times to go elsewhere just because Glen’s chair is always so busy, and hours only work for me on Saturday’s, but every time I go elsewhere I immediately regret it. Don’t go to James Irving.

Good for simple hair styles.not the first choice for beard related, but not much choice downtown

Could not be happier with my experience at Allen Ray's. I wanted to give a big shoutout to Heather Bordwell for the amazing customer service and detail she puts into her clients haircuts. I would recommend her to anyone!

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.

Wonderful local men's hairstyling. They are clean, cautious and creative. Cree does a great job on my hair. Highly recommended.

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.

I’ve been going to have my hair cut by Amanda for at least a year and a half now. She does and outstanding job and I enjoy the time relaxing while she works her magic. The entire staff is very professional and friendly. Great experience, great hair cut, great find!

Amanda and the entire team provide excellent services with a welcoming and professional atmosphere.

Great staff and stylists, fun and welcoming atmosphere, and wonderful Aveda products. Highly recommend to anyone and everyone who works downtown.

My favorite place in the Twin Cities; wonderful, professional, talented and knowledgeable. Look no further and book an appointment today!
