Bay Salon & Boutique or Juut Salonspa? A Minnetonka Comparison

If you are choosing between Bay Salon & Boutique and Juut Salonspa in Minnetonka, the public evidence is thinner than it looks. Two numbers are solid: 4.9 stars from 241 Google reviews for Bay Salon & Boutique, 4.8 from 860 for Juut Salonspa, as of October 2026. Most of the rest is unpublished.

The common ground

Both are hair salons serving Minnetonka, both appear in Google's local results for the category, and both have enough reviews behind them that neither rating is guesswork. Either will do the core service you are booking. If you live between the two, distance is not the deciding factor.

Side by side, on the record

"Not stated" below means exactly that: the claim is not made anywhere a customer could hold them to it. It is not an accusation, and it may simply mean the information lives on a wall inside the business.

The real difference

The rating gap comes first. 4.9 against 4.8 is a 0.1-star difference, and it is built on 241 reviews versus 860. The second difference is how much each is willing to put in public. Bay Salon & Boutique publishes 27 services with a price on every one. Juut Salonspa publishes no menu we could find, which is less a criticism than a fact about what you can know before you walk in.

The question behind the search

Most people comparing two Minnetonka hair salons are not asking which is better in the abstract. They are asking something narrower: will this appointment be worth the money and the hour, and will I know the price before I am in the chair?

On the first half, Juut Salonspa has the larger sample at 860 reviews, so its average is the more settled of the two. Bay Salon & Boutique's 4.9 rests on 241 reviews, which is a smaller but still substantial base. On the second half, only one of them answers in public. A published price is a commitment. An unpublished one is not necessarily higher, but it is an unknown, and on a first visit an unknown is a cost of its own.

Where Bay Salon & Boutique does not lead

Bay Salon & Boutique is not the highest-rated hair salon in Minnetonka. Roots Hair Salon sits ahead on average score with 5 stars from 4 reviews. The case for Bay Salon & Boutique is not that nothing beats it. It is that it leads Juut Salonspa on the measures above and publishes what it charges, which most of the local field does not.

Where Juut Salonspa still shines

860 reviews is a real customer base, not a thin listing, and a hair salon does not reach that number without regulars who keep coming back. A 4.8 average also hides a distribution: plenty of those reviews are five stars. If you already have someone there who knows your preferences, nothing above is a reason to switch. Nothing here is a criticism of the business.

Making the call

If you want the most evidence before booking, Bay Salon & Boutique gives you more to go on: a higher rating, a published price for all 27 services, and online booking. If you already have a trusted regular at Juut Salonspa, stay. If you are choosing cold and price matters, only one of them will tell you the price before you arrive.
