ABOUT US

Macy Topp and Jess Pratt decided to venture into a new business in the haze of the recession hoping to fulfill the American dream of being self-employed. The result: Pixie Salon was opened in October of 2009.

After many hours of hard work and years of developing the skills needed for salon ownership, they were able to find the ideal location in the Kingfield neighborhood. Together they bring more than 16 years of hair experience and the dedication of providing a fun and relaxing atmosphere that brings clients in again and again, as well as superior services.

 We guarantee a pleasant visit and always a good laugh. We enjoy what we do -- and it shows. So if you are looking for an uptight, mundane environment -- you’ve come to the wrong place. If you are pursuit of a neighborhood salon with good times and good people, and where your true beauty is revealed -- look no further! You've found Pixie!

Jess fled the highlands of North Dakota to the big city to attend the Aveda Institute in 2001. She spent most of her hair career at the now defunct Frumos Salon and Spa. She dabbled a bit in everything there…facials, cutting, color, relaxing. After the new owners took over Frumos, Jess hopped the river to a new salon in south Minneapolis where she met Macy. After a weekend in Las Vegas attending the Paul Mitchell Signature Event – Jess and Macy found they had something in common - the drive to become self-employed.

Jess is always looking for new ways to get involved in the community including Cutting Clinics for the Aliveness Project, shaving heads for St. Baldricks and participating in Susan G Komen for the Cure Walk. She is a certified Brocato educator.

Jess can tackle any head of hair – she does relaxing, cuts, colors and facial waxing.

Macy Topp
MACY@PixieSalonMpls.com

Macy graduated from Scot Lewis School of Cosmetology as a second career at the ripe age of 30. Prior to hair school, she was a devoted college student of seven years in the studies of studio art and art history. With that lucrative degree under her belt she tried her hand in the non-profit sector. Much to her dismay non-profit was not a profitable career path.

Self-employment was her next feat….and hair seemed to be the ticket. After working for several years at other salons in the metro area and after meeting her future biz partner, Jess Pratt – who had similar dreams, Macy was ready to open her own salon.

Since then Macy has kept her skills as a hair stylist by attending the Vidal Sassoon Academy in Chicago and is a certified educator for Brocato. Always ready for the next challenge….. Macy’s services include cuts and colors.

Amber Knapper
AMBER@PixieSalonMpls.com

Amber was born and raised in south Minneapolis. After graduating from South High, Amber enrolled Mankato Cosmetology Training Center in 2003. Since then she hopped around town to different salons until 2009 when her life took a new direction and she moved to Chicago. Just before her departure she met Jess and Macy. Two years later she made her way back to the Minne-apple and joined the Pixie Gang. Amber wears many hats both professionally and personally.

Not only is she an attentive mother of two she is a certified massage therapist and esthetician. Hopefully one day when Pixie expands their services, Amber will be able to use these skills.

Amber specializes in cuts, colors, perms, manicures, and facial waxing.
