Meet Hannah

  • “I had been searching and searching for a place where I could get my curly hair cut for years and my search stopped when I found Jen at Pink Grapefruit. Jen understands curly hair and doesn't just give you a cut--she teaches you about your hair, how to understand the right products for you, the science of hair and more. I struggle to articulate what I want with my cut and color and Jen is so good at asking the right questions to get you the result you desire. Not to mention she's a blast to be around. I've been a loyal client for 5 years or so now and can't recommend Jen enough!”

    — Whitney

  • “Jen is amazing!! She is incredibly knowledgable and creates a really comfortable experience and atmosphere. I have had both haircuts from her and specialized services like the scalp treatment she offers. Book one right now. You'll float out of the appointment feeling so much better!”

    —Meghan

  • “I saw Hannah for my first curly cut. She was so thoughtful in talking through how I take care of and style my hair. She was amazing in describing her technique and products and taught me SO much while she worked on my cut. I have fine hair and curls are a relatively new hair experience for me. Hannah has an amazing, fun energy and clearly enjoys and cares about her work. 10/5 stars. ALSO the BEST studio experience. Calm, low noise, beautifully put together space. If you get overwhelmed with noise in typical salon spaces you’ll LOVE this salon space.”

    —Jillian

  • "I have never found someone who ACTUALLY understands curly hair until now. Jen not only listened to me and helped me get to the bottom of what I was looking for, but also shared so much wisdom and knowledge. She gave me an amazing haircut and set me up with all the tools and knowledge to keep it that way. I’m so thrilled I found Pink Grapefruit!"

    —Danielle

  • “Incredibly warm, welcoming, and kind. I deeply appreciate the level of care and consideration put into all aspects of the Pink Grapefruit and expert listening! Easily the best curly cut experience I have had in the Twin Cities.”
