“[They are] knowledgeable on cuts, colors, and products. They listen! Hair care is huge in a person’s self confidence. They guide and recommend after listening to the customer first. All of the staff is friendly; [they] greet and acknowledge you immediately as you arrive, ask if you want a beverage, and anticipate people’s needs.” -Lisa D.

Not Your Average Salon

We wanted to learn a little more about this award-winning business and its impressive online reputation, so we took a few minutes to talk with Julie Petersen, the owner of Prestige Salon.

The first question we had for Julie was what sets Prestige Salon apart from their competition in South Dakota. Here’s her response:

“We have a fantastic location that is easy to get to, and it is big and spacious to ensure comfort. We are also very education-driven; our stylists help one another out and deliver quality work and service”

We also wanted to know what their mission is at Prestige Salon and how they work to make the world a better place. Here’s what Julie had to say:

“People love to get their hair done, and we get to make them feel beautiful. It’s just fun!”

Building Success Through Online Presence

When asked about the Prestige Salon secret to a strong online reputation, Julie said:

“Our reputation is strong because, six years ago, I started going out and making as many accounts as possible on different review sites and built an online presence. We participated in a program in our city of Watertown where we got a bunch of content together, and it was posted on the city’s website. That got us a lot of attention.”

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, Prestige Salon has gotten their name out there through Instagram, Facebook, and by having high-quality retail lines.

There are so many business owners who would love to build the kind of online reputation that Prestige Salon has. Here’s Julie’s expert advice for them:

“You have to dig in. It may be uncomfortable, but getting into partnerships with people or companies that can teach you will help you create consistency. Don’t be afraid to ask people to review you.”


Congratulations to the team at Prestige Salon for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Julie, for taking the time to speak with us! Visit their website here!
