Hair stylist, style icon (at least to me!), business owner, and neighbor \u2013 sort of. During business hours she\u2019s a Longfellow neighbor, but her home is in the Nokomis (ahem!) neighborhood. Cindy Hagen is owner of Alamane Salon, 4100 \u2013 42nd Ave South. Cindy has been a business owner in Longfellow Neighborhood for better than 30 years\u200b. Her first shop was 23rd and 38th for 20 years, then Lake and 36th for seven years, and now this location for 11 years. This building is that wonderful corner building on 42nd and 42nd (wedge-shaped) that according to Cindy at one point was a butcher shop, a bakery and maybe even a grocer.<\/p>\n
I have known Cindy for ten years. She\u2019s a trim, chic, stylish woman who looks the same as she did when I first met her! I see her and think, \u201cLook what she\u2019s doing to her hair, that\u2019s new!\u201d and before you know it, everyone is doing it! She\u2019s very on trend with clothes and hair. They say bartenders are confessors and psychologist all in one? No, that\u2019s Cindy. Cindy knows about my home, my pets, my work\u2026which jobs I liked \u2013 which I didn\u2019t\u2026and she remembers. She will tell me what was going on in my life the last time I saw her and she\u2019s always right, whether that was three months ago or two years like this time. But Cindy shares too, so when I got my cat, we swapped cat stories; when I was finishing my bathroom remodel \u2013 she was starting hers. She\u2019s a wonderfully warm, participant in this relationship. And her craft? Well, as I mentioned, I have been going to see her for ten years!<\/p>\n
Alamane has six chairs and services men\u2019s and women\u2019s hair and does\u200b facial waxing and manicures. Google Reviews, Nextdoor and Angie\u2019s List all have nothing but excellent reviews. Appointments can be made by calling: 612-722-2656<\/p>\n
