Whether you're preparing for a night on the town, the first day of school or simply want to look your best, Encore Hair Design in Edina, as the name suggests, will keep you coming back again and again.

Encore Hair Design, 4512 Valley View Road, has been around for over 25 years, said current owner Almeda Sue Rood. Encore's loyal customer base includes a mixed market of young and old who enjoy the friendly service.

"It's clean and friendly and customers like it because it's roomy and down to earth," Rood said.

Rood, who has owned the salon since October 2000, said Encore Hair Design has had two previous owners, both of whom still work in the salon today.

"I think that says something about the place," Rood said.

Rood has been in the business for 32 years, and has a staff of 10 hairstylists, who have all been in the business for 20 to 30 years.

Whether clients are searching for the perfect hair style or color or desire an eye waxing, manicure or pedicure, Rood said, they will be treated with friendly, smiling staff who are there to serve the customers' needs.

Encore Hair Design offers a variety of professional hair care products from Matrix, Nexxus and Biolage.

Another complement to the spacious 1,000 square foot shop is accessibility of the building's ample parking lot. For many customers, quick and easy in and out parking is another benefit of Encore Hair Design.

Walk-ins are "more than welcome" to stop by the salon. Rood said there are no set hours at Encore Hair Design, and the staff strives to accommodate customers' schedules as best they can.
