South Dakota’s Top Rated Local® Beauty Salons & Spas Award Winner: Meraki Salon

Top Rated Local® is pleased to announce that Meraki Salon is a 2019 award winner for beauty salons and spas in South Dakota!

For a great haircut in Harrisburg, you won’t find a better salon to turn to than Meraki Salon.

Meraki Salon has received dozens of reviews on three verified sites with an average rating of 5.00 stars, earning them a fabulous Rating Score™ of 96.00 and two 2019 Top Rated Local awards for ranking among the top 100 businesses and the top 10 beauty salons and spas in South Dakota!

Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:

“I am a new mom of twins! After my boys were born, I had little to no time at all to do my hair. Most of the time, I would wash and air dry, braid or put in a messy bun. I messaged Jodi about getting a perm. I have wavy hair and was just tired of my natural look being so flat and ‘blah,’ but I wanted to keep the styling maintenance low because of time constraints. I thought a perm was the best way to boost my curls. THANKFULLY, Jodi talked me down off the ledge to terrible hair damage. She told me about curl plopping, suggested I get a trim and recommended a new styling product. Now, I am SO glad I listened. I love my ‘new’ hair. My curls are amazing, and I only have to wash twice a week. I bought the Milkshake-Incredible Milk Styling Spray to use on touch-up days. It has made all the difference. Thank you so much, Jodi!” – Paige T.

Not Your Average Beauty Salon

Jodi Byberg, the owner of Meraki Salon, generously gave us a few minutes of her time to tell us a little more about her award-winning business and its spectacular online reputation.

The first question we had for Jodi was what is it that sets Meraki Salon apart from their competition in South Dakota. Jodi told us that she’s an educator for the products that she uses and sells; she goes to other salons and teaches them how to use it. She was trained differently than others in South Dakota, and she just got back from LA, where she was learning new stuff. She tries her hardest to be on top of the latest trends.

We also wanted to know what their mission is at Meraki Salon and how they work to make the world a better place. Jodi shared that she really wants people in her community to feel loved and accepted by trying to help support them as much as she can. Jodi is on the board for Food Crisis and stays on top of children’s events.

As a person of faith, Jodi focuses on Jesus, her family and her business, and her life goal is to help people and to be happy.

Building Success Through Customer Service

Jodi attributes Meraki Salon’s strong online reputation to the fact that she loves people, prides herself on customer service, follows the Golden Rule and gets to know her customers.

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, Meraki Salon has gotten their name out there mostly through referrals, but they’ve also done some Facebook promos and pop-up boutiques.

Jodi clearly knows a thing or two about growing a business and building an online reputation. Here’s her advice for the many other business owners out there:

“It’s not about you. If you focus on others, then you will thrive. Make sure you educate yourself.”


Congratulations to the team at Meraki Salon for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Jodi, for taking the time to speak with us!
