Ray Caballero has been my hairdresser for the past 20 years and never given me a bad haircut or color job. So I decided to treat my 6 year old grandson to a "grown up" haircut from his grandmothers hairdresser, Ray Caballero. I am so happy that I did. Ray created the trendy haircut my grandson was looking for & the easy care style for my daughter insisted on. Both grandson & his mom were delighted with the results. Ray gave the same amount of attention to detail with my grandson's haircut as he does with any style he creates and the price he charged for a kids cut was very reasonable. I have such respect for him as a hairdresser for always giving 100% of his talents no matter who the client is. Ray, Aiden says a big thank you for giving his cool new haircut. Everyone has been paying him lots of compliments. Thanks Ray for the great work you did on Aiden's hair. read more

The owner is a self-centered jerk! 30 minutes late and I was the first appointment of the day. He asked what I wanted and then did something completely opposite! Worst hair experience EVER! read more

7 months have gone by and STILL NOT A SINGLE RESPONSE OR APOLOGY for the HORRIFIC damage the owner of this salon did to my hair!! I am still growing out all of the breakage done to my hair by him!! STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!! He has ZERO clue how to safely raise you to the correct level if you've had your hair dyed in a salon with dark brown/black and want to color with vivids. Do not let him double bleach your hair in one session and break it off!! read more

Ray does not respect his customers opinion on what they want for their hair he does whatever he wants, no respect for employees either. I will never go back to casa I was a customer for over 10 years! He told me he would color my hair had no time to dry it when I had a big event! Shameful I kept him alive during COVID no appreciation, honesty, respect, truthfulness,! read more

Boo to those that say otherwise. Live with your lies . I know the truth. Thank you Ray for being such a professional hairstylist to my family and friends. read more

Shawna is the absolute best! She has been my stylist for over 15 years and I go where she goes. She has recently rejoined the staff at Casa Caballero and is an absolute must to visit if you want the best of the best. Most times I don't even know what I want to be done; she always knows what's best and makes me look great! I'd give her 10 stars if I could! read more

I've been going to Ray at Casa Caballero Salon about every 6 weeks for approximately three years. Always ALWAYS leave happy! I don't write many reviews but felt compelled to do so, especially after my visit today. Honestly speaking, have never ever had a bad experience there. Ray is definitely an experienced, knowledgeable stylist, very meticulous and fabulous at cutting and color with highlights and extensions as well. His assistant Michelle (also amazing) always greets with a smile and bends over backwards to accommodate any way she can w scheduling, etc. So happy I found them! read more

If you want your ears and neck colored with your hair at the same time, you need to go see Carly at Casa R. Caballero. She didn't noticed a glob of black dye in the back of my ears and neck then she is NOT a good beautician. And don't even bother talking to the owner Ray because he is NOT going to give you anything back for your time and inconvenience after I tipped this girl more than 20% for her service. He even says he trained her. Maybe he needs to retrain. I am not a beautician but even I know that is NOT good business to have your customer travel 30-45 minutes to take care of something that a good beautician should have noticed when I was in the salon. I will never go back to this place again. I will be posting a picture of the black glob she left on my ears and the back of my ears and neck. read more

I came to this place with a groupon to get a shellac mani and regular pedi. I first had the pedicure done which was great except that the nail tech only used the pumice stone on my heel, she missed the ball of my feet. I had to point it out to her and ask her if she could go over that spot. Then I went on to the manicure. This is where I pretty much made up my mind that I will not be coming back to this place. My hands were not soaked in water to cut my cuticles. All she did was apply an oil to my nails. I began to bleed as she started cutting my cuticles and she did not bother to apply anything nor remove it causing the blood to leak throughout my whole nail. The application of the nail polish was one of the worst I have seen. It came out blotchy and uneven since she missed the sides of my nails. She tried to correct her mistakes by applying more nail polish instead of taking it off and starting all over again. The shellac barely lasted 2 weeks. The coral color I had picked started to turn yellow and the nail polish began to chip. read more

This review is for Stacy Glass. She operates Tampa Bays Best Skin and Massage out of Casa Caballero. She is excellent. I have been going to her for years and she is professional and just all around great. She does waxing, facial and massage. I have used her personally and have bought gift certificates for friends. Treat yourself... relax and enjoy being pampered. read more

I have been a client for several years. Horacio always take care of me. I love that he knows exactly what I want and how I want my hair done. Can't imagining going anywhere else or letting anyone else do my hair. There are other services offered at the salon, but honestly I haven't tried them so I can't comment on them. The place is clean and cute: someone's old house, but inviting anyway. They did a great job remodeling it. read more

I have been going to this salon for over a year, my first time "going steady" with a salon and I'm still loving it!i have tried two people and both great. What made me come back over and over is that they are respectful of your time (no long waits, no putting the chemicals on your hair and letting you seat there until your hair is dry and you are concerned it might fall off from chemical burn) and they really want to make sure you are happy with your end result. read more

Ray is amazing not just cut and color service is good and consultations are the best New Year new me look perfect Thank you Ray

If I could do zero stars, I would. Stay away from this place! i should have known better when I called to make our appointments and the receptionist seemed annoyed that I was calling. I had a groupon and asked to make 2 appointments as my mom and I were going for a girls' day of pampering. Even though I called over a week ahead, she couldn't (or wouldn't) schedule us at the same time so we were scheduled back to back. I don't even know our "stylist's" name as she never introduced herself. I explained to her what my mom wanted (as my mom has a thick accent) and even showed her a picture so there would be no misunderstandings. She seemed annoyed because she thought she was only doing a wash and style. When I told her we were scheduled for a wash, cut and style she said "well I don't know if I'll have time" I told her that's what we made the appointment for. After less than 45 minutes (even though each appointment was scheduled for 1 hr) my mom came out visibly upset. Her cut was not what she wanted. She was not happy and explained again what she wanted and all the 'stylist' could say was maybe they could fix it next time. The owner witnessed all this and did nothing. I was reluctantly up next. I made sure to tell her EXACTLY what I wanted. Well, I didn't get what I wanted either. Both my mom and I ended up with uneven haircuts. I don't know if it was a lack of experience (or annoyance because we were using groupons) but she did a terrible job. I tried to call to speak to the owner about it but was basically laughed at and told he was busy. We ended up having to go somewhere else to get it evened out. I will never go back to this place. They have terrible customer service, terrible 'stylists' and terrible management. read more

Ray knows color! He consistently delivers beautiful results. He has been doing extensions for almost 20 years and is very knowledgable about how to apply them and maintain them. He's very friendly and goes out of his way to make sure you are a happy customer. read more

When I'm there getting my hair done, I know I can relax for the few hours I'm there. Check out the salon and go see Meg. . .she's great at anything with my hair. . .even updos! You won't be disappointed! read more

This place is a joke. I don't know how they stay in business, maybe hair salon is good, I have never tried that part of the establishment. Bought a Groupon that was for 3 shellac manicures and regular pedicures. The big comfy vibrating, massaging chairs that we all look forward to parking our butts in while we get our feet pampered were broken on the first visit. Initially they had 2 women scheduled with back to back appointments all day. First visit broken chair, manicurist that spoke English, but not to me, poor pedicure and filed my nails ( and they are long) after she polished them. I watched with envy the patrons that were receiving treatments from the other woman. I call to make second appointment with the other manicurist, she is booked for weeks, they are so busy because of Groupon. I return and see the same woman I had the first time. Same problems including broken chair. On my way out I make my last appointment with the manicurist that everyone is enjoying and having fun with. A few days before my scheduled appointment, the spa calls and needs to reschedule my mani-pedi. Okay no problem. I go in for my third and final Groupon appointment only to find out they are short staffed and that is why they had to reschedule. The good manicurist had quit! I am not surprised, but so disappointed I have to have this same lame manicurist for a third time. Oh, chairs never got fixed and if they are still open in a year, I am willing to bet chairs still won't work. Alas, my ground hog mani-pedi nightmare has come to an end! What's a girl to do? I just love a good mani-pedi, especially if the pedicure is like an hour long. read more

I had a groupon for all over hair color, a wash, cut, and style. I had an appointment and arrived ten minutes early. They were able to take me right away, which is always nice. The girl who did my hair is named Claire and I can't say enough good things about her. I wasn't sure what color to do my hair so she asked a bunch of questions and made some sugestions. I ended up getting my roots touched up and 5 highlights added for $25. When it was time for the cut she did exactly what I wanted (barely a trim since I want to grow it out, and long layers added). I was with her for just over two hours. She's very sweet and pleasant. I would definitely go out of my way to have an appointment with Claire again. The salon itself is really cute and spacious, I like the setting there. I was very happy with my cut & color and will definitely go again. read more

I had a great experience at Casa R Salon. It was my first time trying microderm abrasion on my face and I'm really happy with the results. The staff was warm, welcoming and friendly and offered an additional service for my next visit at a great price. read more

Kris is fantastic for nails. It takes a lot to get me to change my loyalties but this is my new nail salon of choice!

Just used my Groupon today for partial highlights, trim and style. Very nervous since you never know who you're getting. My hairstylist was Saria. I had about 6 inches of dark hair and rest was blonde highlights. After being so nervous of not knowing what to expect, I couldn't be happier with my results. She did a beautiful partial highlights where you can't tell where she started or ended the highlights. She listened to me when it came to trimming and gave some suggestions. I highly recommend her. :) read more

First time with this team getting my hair and highlights done. It was a spontaneous idea, so I just walked in hoping they have a "window" time. We carefully chose my haircut which was a major change for me (from shoulder length to short hair and bangs). And then I also decided to do partial highlights! Service is great! I was verg afraid to trust a new team with my hair, but they did ABSOLUTELY amazing job. I recommend people to go there, especially if you have a "haircut idea that is in process". THANK YOU. read more

I had my hair cut and went back two weeks later for highlights and wsa given a price. I had shown the ower a picture of the color that I wanted and it did not match. With hair above my neck, he snipped a few hairs after hightlighting and charged me for another haircut, after the fact. Within 48 hours, I called and left a message stating it was not the color in the picture that I had shown him. No REPONSE OR RETURN CALL. Unknown to me, are comments are his website compilmenting my haircut. I think that he can get in troulble for that, other than being deceitiful. I would never recommend this place to anyone. read more

My wife went to this salon and the staff out there were so inconsiderate. I called them to ask why they were rude, and they were so apologetic. I feel they were the worst people i have dealt with ever. When i asked the owners number they were like they will let him call me. I know they wont. I want the owner to call me or leave his email here. here is mine. arsene.bould@gmail.com. I expect the owner to be unlike the staff. read more

I was very disappointed with this salon. One of the worst highlights and haircut I've gotten in awhile. The hair stylist was nice, but she really did an awful job with my hair. I had to go in twice because she said "my hair didn't work the way she had hoped". I wasn't happy with the highlights or the haircut, but I gave her the benefit of the doubt and waited until my next appointment a couple weeks later to finish the job she started (which I had to pay extra for). The first thing I told her was that I was not happy with the way she cut my bangs and that I wanted some style to it. So she grabs her scissors and just cuts off a little chunk. Honestly, I could have done that. Then she goes on to the hair coloring and by the time she was done, my hair was VERY dry and I had 4-5 different colors in my hair. Even her styling was awful. I can do a better job straightening my own hair. Just looked like a terrible hair job, but she was so impressed with it. I have dyed my hair many times and it has NEVER been that dry. She used some sort of strong bleach to dye my hair and I did NOT want that. Today, I went to a new hair salon and they fixed my hair with the hydration I needed and I was very happy. This confirmed that I was not going crazy and that I DID get a terrible hair job at Casa R. Caballero Salon. I will never go back. read more

I have been following Ray no matter what salon he has owned over the years. Great salon in a great setting. Ray is SO talented. He has a standard for the others in the salon too. Can't go wrong with Casa Cabarello! read more

I can only advise or comment on the nail portion of the salon. My wife was just there for her 10am appointment, via a GROUPON , yes a COUPON for those unfamiliar with this name. I had dropped her off and waited for her to be attended.First her nail tech was 10 min late, not a good start , but we all have off days. Next thing I know, I pick her up and she was almost in tears and angry at me, cause I advised her to tip well, since she came in with coupon. She told me her experience was brutal. The tech did a messy job and when she politely asked for a touch up on the missed areas, she was reminded that she came in with a GROUPON, and that they were not well compinsated for such clientel. Not knowing that she had intended to leave a good tip. She was also asked if she has ever had this service before, cause she prematurely removed her hands away. And was instructed that , "I will tell you when I'm done and not to move before I tell you". I feel that maybe there was a communication error between the two, but after reading the previous reviews and hearing from others that received the same treatment. PLEASE , do not, give them your business, until they learn to provide a better Customer Service. read more

Ray and his team are absolutely outstanding!! I got a keratin treatment and I am not kidding, it changed my life. I have super kinky, coarse, curly hair and it now dries almost perfectly straight by itself!! More importantly, the breakage has stopped and it is finally growing out again. I wish I had done it years ago. Worth EVERY penny and more!! Give this salon a try - you will be very glad you did!! read more

Hair stylist (Yolie shot for yolanda) started my appointment 40 minutes late. Also thought her constant coughing on me, constantly trying to upsell me on everything and her speaking badly about her clients AND co-workers to me was very UNPROFESSIONAL. Won't be back. read more

I got a groupon and went here for the first time for partial highlight and cut by Yuli. I have moved here from San francisco and have tried to find a good stylist for a while. Yuli is the best! one of the best haircuts i have had and the place is very cool. read more

Love this salon! It's in an older refurbished house, so cute. The staff is always friendly and personal service has never been lacking. For red, curly or thinning hair, you've GOT to see Clair. Sharon is such a sweetheart and the best at nails. They even have a massage therapist. Everyone should try this place out. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Great experience with Ray and his staff! Wish I was still doing hair - this is a place I would love to work at!!

Well what can I say... they know what they are doing. They did a great job on my highlights in a very short time which I loved. My only negative is that I felt the service was not great. I went in later in the day and felt rushed like the stylist had to leave. I don't know, for the price which was more that I've ever paid for highlights I expected a better service, but them again they did a great job on the actual highlights. Still contemplating whether I will be back or not. We'll see. read more

I came to this salon by a friends recommendation, when I walked into the spa I was greeted instantly by a smiling face. I was offered green tea, coffee and a welcome package of what all that the spa had to offer, I took advantage of the special offers for there first time guests and my experience there was outstanding. read more

I purchased a groupon and set an appointment for my girlfriends 40th birthday; day before they confirmed and the day of they called to let me know my stylist called in. Weeks later I made another appointment went in and again stylist was a no show. Another stylist felt bad for me but only had time for haircut when my groupon was color,cut and style. They offered me a free eye wax she took a large piece of my eyebrow off. But what made it worse was the owner( Ray I believe) was being updated on what was going on. Came in and was told I wanted to speak to him and he completely avoided me. My point, your employees will never have great customer service if as an owner you don't set an example. Just because I bought a groupon does not mean I'm broke. Sorry my money goes else where. Worst Spa EVER!!!! read more

I also got the Groupon but my experience was very positive. I was able to book my appointment the very next day for my cut and style. The place is not fancy but it is cute and off the beaten path. It appeared clean but some of the furnishings look a little worn, or well lived in like a grandma's house. My stylist Becky was very friendly, calm and professional; She gave me a terrific cut and took her time with my style. I believe she gave me the same level of service and attention that she would give to any client groupon on not. I was impressed with her more than anything else so I rebooked with her. I can see that some people might have issue with the customer service. The lady at the front desk, while nice, was also a little brisk. I think she may come across a little strong at times, especially if there is an issue. Thankfully I had no problems booking my appointment or with the service I received. Overall, I'm going back (mostly for Becky) and think the groupon was a good deal. read more

My visit was just ok. I'm new in Tampa and trying to find a good hair stylist. I bought a Groupon for a woman's haircut and the email I received from Groupon stated to call or go online to make an appointment. I went online and selected 3 preferable times for my appointment and listed that I had a groupon discount and was confirmed within 48 hours. When I arrived at the salon I was a tad underwhelmed as it seems to be a little run down with older equipment. I'm not sure of my stylists name but the cut I received was not what I wanted and I now have to go elsewhere to have it corrected. After my cut I wanted to purchase some products but the stylist made remarks insinuating that I didn't know how to style my own hair and would likely not know how to use the products I was interested in purchasing. I've never had a stylist try to discourage me from spending MORE money. I finally settled on a product and walked to the receptionist where I presented my groupon. Instead of ASKING me if I had mentioned the Groupon when I made an appointment she automatically assumed that I didn't and said "next time please mention your groupon before making an appointment." I said that I had made an appointment online using the discount option and before I could even finish that statement she began talking over me saying "it's fine. it's fine." as if she wanted to rush me out. I didn't feel welcomed nor do I feel that I was given good service so I will not be coming back here for any other services. read more
