Kat was so amazing, she really worked with me to give the exact cut I wanted. She even took the time to teach me how to style my hair which I really appreciated! Kat is very talented, the salon is clean and professional. Thank you!

June 2020: Its been 6 months since my last haircut, and I had it done by Tait back in December of 2019. The fade grew out perfectly even over the 6 months. The Top and grown out fade blended perfectly together, making it look like I had recently had it touched up. Tait is a magician, I do not know why he is better than the previous people that cut my hair, but he is, and I will not be complaining, and I WILL be exclusively using him in the future!December 2019: Tait cut my hair and did a fantastic job. I had been growing it for over a year, told him to give me a fade and surprise me with the top. Couldnt be happier. I dont think I had a hair out of line after he was done!

Danielle is so incredibly amazing. She is friendly and fun, but also artistically talented with cut and color and foils. I cant thank her enough for earning back my trust with my long hair. I highly recommend her and I love the feel of the salon

Cool space in a great neighborhood. Love Tiffany, the nail specialist. This salon also has friendly staff and fabulous products, R+Co, Eminence are my favorite. The facial is excellent as well. Haven’t had hair done here but I’ll bet it’s great.

I visited the spa at Denny Kemp for the first time for a 60 minute Swedish massage with Josh. The experience was MAGICAL. From being greeted at the door, offered coffee and seated at their comfortable waiting area, and then the main event. My massage session was perfection. Josh really listened to my concerns and made me feel comfortable, attended to, and cared for. Looking forward to my next visit!

Denny Kemp Salon is the best! Very upbeat, rock, LA, art vibe. The staff is incredible and takes care of you before you even start your appointment. The stylists are very talented and professional. Joe S does my color and cut and he recommends treatments that will improve my hair. (When he washes your hair its more like getting a relaxing head massage) 😄 I always leave there happy and feeling pretty! Thank you to everyone there, love you guys! 💙

I have been going to Chelsea for almost 2 years now and I feel that my service only gets better and better. The salon is professional and friendly. Chelsea is a great stylist and I never get bored with my styling. She really knows what she is doing and has amazing skills. It is worth every penny. My hair has never been so healthy and looked so gorgeous!

TESSA does an incredible job!! She brought my hair to life with a conditioning treatment and bayalage. She was able to replicate a photo I brought in and added honey tones to match the description I gave her of what I wanted. She not only executed my hair perfectly but gave me styling tips throughout the process!!! If I could give this salon a higher rating I would!!!HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Katie George is truly the best nail technician. I have been a loyal client for a few years now. She is the best of the best. She is friendly, courteous, completely sanitary (which you dont find her standard at most salons), and awesome at what she does. Pedicures with her are fabulous, but I am a big fan of her gel manicure. You will not be disappointed when you get any nail service done with Katie.

I just got the greatest haircut from Manuel ever! He made my hair look longer and thicker and very pretty! He highly exceeded my expectations, but it is because my husband told me at least 50 times this weekend since I got my haircut on Friday, how pretty I looked! (The only thing that changed was my hair), so I know it is all thanks to Manuel! The whole experience was great and I would *highly* recommend his services-a great haircut will really make you happy believe me! Thank you so much!

The salon was gorgeous!! All the employees were so friendly and helpful.Best of all I walked out of there with the best hair cut ever!! I am very picky.

We were in town for a wedding. Wife went in for an up do (?). I wasnt there for the first attempt, but the wife asked for a second attempt. When I arrived to pick her up it was so bad that she wouldnt let me go in and talk to anyone. I guess, since we did have a busy day, that was probably a good idea, but I wouldnt recommend this place. Next time well find a higher end salon.

I hadnt had my hair colored in many years, but I was looking for a change after having a baby and decided to go to Denny Kemps. I wasnt sure what color was going to look good​ with my complexion, but my stylist, Joe S, was amazing and helped find the right color for me. It was a great experience and all Ive received are compliments about my hair! I highly recommend going to Denny Kemps!

DENNY KEMP IS THE BEST!I have been coming to him for decades.Denny is an ARTIST, an expert stylist, and a kind person. He is generous, fair, a businessman, and outstanding special person!How about helping to get him to take a vacation of 3 weeks?I am sure a lot of us would like to see him be around a very long time. He is less likely to live a long time with all the stress and little if any true vacations.I HAVE A PLAN!How about you join me in Bombarding him with vacation picture suggestions that you send himto him at his salon in North Minneapolis?(Sandi, a very grateful customer)

Love being at this salon; all of the staff are professional and courteous, and checked often to make sure I was comfortable while waiting for my friends appointment to finish before it was my turn to be seen. We were both treated by Tango, and what a treat it was! Definitely my go-to from now on.

I often get my hair foiled, cut, and styles by Chelsea. Shes the sweetest thing with a great understanding of modern trends and hair that will suit your needs. Im very glad I first went to her and will continue! Chelsey is incredibly professional and Im so glad Ive found a hairstylist I will go back to.

I have been going to Kara for around 4 years and she is a color master. When I started going to her my hair was very dark red/brown. I wanted to be blonde again for my wedding and she got me there without damaging/stripping the color. Now I am platinum and my hair is still super healthy and strong even after being bleached.

Chelsea is an amazing stylist and human-being! I showed her a few pictures of what I was looking for and she gave me exactly that! She also was a great conversationalist while doing my hair and I left throughly happy! Would highly recommend Chelsea and this salon!

Scott I believe was his name. Went in on a Monday morning August 2014, late review. However I asked for length and fullness. Got neither, cut a bob in the back which I couldnt cover even with extensions. I know he chopped my hair on purpose, went to brindle and blonde in MI and asked for as much fullness and length as possible, and my hair stayed in mid back length (2 years to grow back from Denny Kemp). Got exactly what i asked for and realized anyone cutting your hair to your chin( like Scott ) is doing it on purpose even with damaged hair .

I enjoy the vibe here. They offer you water, tea or coffee was you wait and are taken care of. I started coming here from Groupon, and have been coming back for a year to get my hair done. With the Groupon Ive also tried their nail and massage services, but have been most pleased with my cut and coloring.

I have had great experience previously at Denny Kemp. Its my most favorite hair salon. Thats why I came back this time even though I dont live in the neighborhood anymore. I called for a haircut appointment, I asked for Sara jo (she cut last time for me and did an amazing job). But the operator told me she is not with Denny Kemp anymore. I asked her to set me up with a stylist who is an expert with Curly hair. She set me up with Manuel, I trusted her and went ahead with my haircut. My experience was awful !! Manuel was very rough detangling my hair .. he did an average job with the haircut, just applied a hair cream and left me to dry under the heat dryer. He didnt know how to care for curly hair at all . This appointment ended up costing me $80, Im super disappointed. Wont return ever again.

If I ever thought about letting a non African-American stylist touch my hair, thats out of the picture. Down right racist and unprofessional. Our animal hair is not welcome at this shop & it needs to be put out of business.

Review №57

Pretentious salon. Stylist I had actually did a very good job but I left unhappy because the whole time Time she had an attitude about me using a Groupon and made disparaging remarks about Groupon users. Very unprofessional. What is the point of advertising with Groupon if you treat potential customers with absolute disrespect?

Denny Kemp is my new tried and true, trusted salon. Admittedly, not one to write reviews EVER, I felt the receptionist and stylists were more than deserving of my 5 minutes of writing, based on my experience yesterday. I arrived with a chopped, botched, bowl cut. (Rewind: 24 hours prior to arriving at Denny Kemps Central Avenue door, my hairdresser from another salon had taken me from shoulder length, tousled waves to a Dorothy Hammel bowl cut. You cant exactly glue it back on, the damage was done.) Manuel initially consulted with me about my options. Kind, professional, clearly gifted in all things related to hair and style, he was not arrogant but rather compassionate as he articulated his thoughts. He patiently explained my options. Next, Denny Kemp himself weighed in as well, and proceeded to do the actual cut and style with Manuel. (Yup, my bowl cut was that bad. 2 stylists had to troubleshoot the day priors hack job.) Denny Kemp is genius. One hour later, two of the most talented, brilliant stylists had talked me through a haircut, with, I mention, a noteworthy level of sensitivity. (After all, how do you trust someone with your personal definition of style, having suffered with PTSC- Post Traumatic Stress Cut) all night, forgoing sleep in search of the best salons?!) I arrived at the Denny Kemp Salon Spa feeling like I wanted to hide under a rock for 2 years. I left with a cut that I could live with as my hair grows back. Most importantly, I left with a style that conveyed everything I was and am today (40+ years in the making, thank you very much.). Kinda nice to be stopped downtown by a stranger this morning, Great haircut. Actually, great salon! Thank you Manuel and Denny. Ill see you for my next haircut, and every cut thereafter...

If I could give zero stars I would. Lack of professionalism amongst some of the stylist is beyond disappointing. Lack of leadership among company to exercise a zero tolerance with such staff is also a disgrace. They will never get my money or time.
