ACCOLADES SALON SPA

Meet Cal ✂️🖤

Cal joined the Accolades team in October 2025 and brings so much creativity and artistic expression behind the chair. They love helping clients feel confident, seen, and completely themselves through their hair.

Cal specializes in gender-affirming + alternative cuts, lots of layers and texture, vivids, fashion colors, and creative hair designs. 🎨✨

Outside the salon, you’ll find Cal ice skating, drawing and painting, thrifting, exploring Minnesota, traveling, playing Nintendo, hanging with friends + their cat, or enjoying some wonderfully bad TV. 🐈‍⬛

Ready for something a little more creative? Book with Cal! 🖤

We may be a little late celebrating, but 12 years deserves its moment! 🤍

On August 25th, Sam celebrated 12 incredible years with us! Over the years, she has brought so much talent, dedication, and care to our salon, our team, and every client who sits in her chair.

We are so grateful for everything Sam has brought to the salon over the last 12 years and feel so lucky to have her as part of our team.

Happy 12-Year Anniversary, Sam! Here’s to celebrating you and all the years, memories, and beautiful work along the way. 🥂🤍

Just another day at Accolades. 🤍
Good hair, good people, and a little self-care in between.

Copper on top, blonde underneath 🤎✨ The kind of color that looks gorgeous from every angle—and has a little surprise when you lift it up.

We love a bold color moment that still feels totally wearable. The warm copper, bright blonde and soft layers make this one SO good.

Bleach gets such a bad reputation… meanwhile, hitting your funny bone and a full iPhone storage are out here causing real trauma.

When lightening is done professionally—with the right products, technique, timing, and a little patience—healthy hair is always part of the plan.

The Hobby Lobby pumpkin section, though? Proceed with caution.

Dimensional blonde with the perfect mix of brightness + softness

Emily created this gorgeous lived-in blonde that keeps things bright around the face while blending seamlessly through the lengths. Effortless, dimensional, and made to grow out beautifully.
