    Finished cut product by Natalie :)
    Allison J.

    This review is based on haircuts ONLY. More specifically, haircuts for naturally curly/wavy hair. Short Review: Natalie is the scissor savior that we need. When I have a vision, she sculpts it and molds it in her craft. Never have I been more satisfied with a hairdresser. Full Length Review: I've been coming to this studio for about 2 years now, and only go in about twice a year for maintenance. And I think everyone can agree... it's ALWAYS trial and error when finding a decent hairdresser. I've gone from Bonne Vie Salon in Winter Park, a salon that's good on the surface but is overall shady and snobby, to Mosaic Hair Studio, a decently reviewed salon that was closer to my house but ultimately wasn't satisfied with the hairdresser's cut style. FINALLY I decided to do some hardcore research, because I'm tired of throwing money away for unsatisfactory results and also because my hair is my glory. As I probed the Googles, I would select a salon and begin considering things like (1) star ratings, (2) portfolio, and (3) content of the reviews of each hairdresser at whichever 4 or 5-star salon I decided to analyze. I honestly don't remember how I stumbled upon Matthew Michael's, however I was very impressed by each hairdresser's portfolio here. I made an appointment with Natalie and holy hey-zuus, I believe that may have been the best decision for my hair's sake. You see, every time I go in I kinda have an idea of what I want my hair to do but I don't necessarily have a photo to go off of (but always have a back-up just in case I can't convey my vision in words). I'll walk in and say "I don't like the way my hair is making this triangular shape as it's growing in," or "I want my curls to be more curly" because I have thick hair and there are certain areas where my hair is so heavy that it doesn't curl well. This girl will consider everything I have concerns about, ask questions accordingly, and go to work. I am telling you Yelp fam, she is the master of scissory. And I've got to say.... you know how it takes about a week or two for you to adjust/like your new hair cut? That never happens with Natalie. I ALWAYS love my haircut, because she executes exactly what I asked. Also, another perk if you're an introvert like myself, it's not a discomforting silence when no one speaks. Usually when I go in it's probably after I worked and am just tired from the day's stimulation. We'll chat at first to catch up, but towards the end I just sit there and relax in the process of her artistry. So to wrap up this review, THANK YOU SO MUCH NATALIE! I hope to someday have enough cash to do a cut AND color someday ;)

    Still cute hair, before the perm...

    *Pictures Below* I had been a regular at this Salon for over 8 years. I trusted them, I shouldn't have. They assured me that getting a permanent done on my hair would turn out perfectly. Needless to say, it did not. My hair was fried and pieces of it were falling out! I am not that girl that cries at Salons, but I was that day! I spoke with the manager and assistant manager and they were rude, they didn't care and they didn't do anything to try and fix the situation. I have not been back since and would never recommend this Salon to anyone....

    See Aramis !

    I bought a Groupon for a blowout $25 normally $35 or $40. I was lucky to get Aramis, who has been there 3+ years! He is off Tues & Thurs by the way! He took my Pinterest picture and turned me into it! His neck and head massage was amazing like his personality! As a first time client you receive 20% off products so I bought the split end protectant cream too. Also I received a few referral cards that offer a friend $20 off products & services over $40 do I made my friend an appt and his haircut & style was top-notch!! So now I get $25 off my next appointment :). They offer a discount to pre book too!! Highly recommend the salon and of course, Aramis!

    As you can see in the center from behind, a nice chunk was cut off dead in the center. :'(

    Unfortunately I didn't want to leave this review but it's a must for all my curly girls out there. Let's start with the pluses: Very profesional and friendly services, hospitable and passionate behind what they do, as it seemed to me. Clean and welcoming environment in all ways. Now for the negatives: this was my first time at this salon for a hair cut, I only paid $25 albeit it was with a "beginner" I thought to myself, what's the worse that can happen at such a highly reputable salon? Welp my friends, wrong question to ask cause apparently, a lot. I trusted him because he seemed to be aware of the potential mishaps, even mentioning the "triangle hair" that many inexperienced stylists cause on curly locks. Needless to say, it came out as terrible as I could imagine and he didn't cut it dry nor wet, it was in this limbo of frizzy dampness cause he was using a comb before snipping away. I knew that was probably a very bad idea, but closed my eyes and gritted my teeth. I did mention to him that he should wet it if he is not experienced with dry cutting hair, but he said he wants to see where it lays....^.- well pictures speak volumes so I'll just leave it there They did offer a redo, but that would only make me a fool. I'm glad they were at least understanding of my situation and were definitely sympathetic. Hence the 2 stars :) Update to comment: Candice could not have been trained with curly textures as she told me that she would first straighten my hair then cut. A big no-no for curlies. She was very honest in her abilities and stated she would try her best with the situation at hand. I appreciated that she did state she wouldn't feel comfortable doing it wet or dry curly. If my stylist did the same to me I would kiss his feet. Getting an irreversible service done to your body definitely deserves honesty in the capabilities of the stylist. If only he would've said that he has never done this textured hair before, I would've definitely been willing to pay. He was simply the one offered to me for the time slot I had available. I had faith I wasn't an experiment. ''Tis alright. Thank you for the offer.

    Love my new cut thanks to Lynsey at Matthew Michaels Experience!

    Sophie did a great job - I had pretty vague instructions and she understood the assignment and the cut looked great in the end.

Unfortunately, at the end of my wax, I was left covered in baby powder, usually I'm cleaned up but on top of that there was still bits of wax and hairs all over me. I pointed this out to them. They went back in and remove the hair from the areas that I pointed out. It wasn't until I arrived home and showered, and then the next day I noticed so many areas were missed. I've put off writing this review for a few weeks because my practitioner was so nice and I had a great time chatting with them. But the actual attention to detail wax was very disappointing. I may return and try a different practitioner someday. This was a wildly different experience from my previous waxers, and unfortunately not in a positive way. The lack of attention to details so frustrating, especially now I have to go home and be raising hair on my own after paying for it to be done. The reason I'm giving four stars instead of two or three is because they are very friendly accommodating there. And I'm sure if I had called the next day to go back they would've made space for me to come in. It felt like a very professional place. (after spending over an hour there being waxed I just didn't feel like going back for a second go.)

I was able to book an appointment online for the very next day; scheduling was quick, easy, and incredibly convenient. Check-in was seamless when I arrived, and I only waited about five minutes before being taken back. I saw Anastasia, and she was so sweet and professional. She did an amazing job, and I've already scheduled my six-week follow-up appointment. I'm so glad I found this place and will definitely be coming back!

Room of Beauty is the place that I look forward to visiting on a monthly basis. It's where I can leave all of my problems and stress at the door! The moment you walk in, you know that you're in a special place. Jessica, the spa owner truly has created a space where anyone and I mean anyone will feel welcomed. I'm proud to refer my friends and family here because I know that once they experience a service, they will be hooked! Some of my favorite services include the GoGreen Facial, reflexology and Raindrop Therapy. Raindrop Therapy is amazing! It's a technique using essential oils and is applied to your back and feet.
