Philip Rosado, owner of Educe, is the divine marriage of creativity, expertise, and talent. My color is always flawless and my cuts are crafted with that unique touch which always draws people to ask for philip's contact info. Aside from the incredible design and designers, when I sit in his chair I can exhale and rest confident that I will walk away transformed and I don't need to worry that he's going to cut off too much or flub up my color. He also trains his people to the same standard he holds himself. I love Educe salon and Philip Rosado! read more

I've moved a considerable amount in the past 6 years and the the most stressful part of that is finding a new stylist in a new city. After trying out a few in the downtown area that were not good I met Mark at Educe Salon. He is the best stylist I have found, and I have lived in major cities like Miami and Atlanta most recently. He is professional and really know his stuff. After 2 times together he nailed the style I was looking for....and it just keeps getting better the more I visit. We converse like we've know each other for years and he makes you feel at ease. He believes in continuing education and learning more about his art, and it comes thru in his work. If I ever have to move again he's coming with me some how!! read more

I go here once a week to get my hair blown out, John Paul is the best! his blow outs last almost all week! highly recommend this is a very trendy upbeat salon. great location and easy to find parking.. read more

Loved my experience here. Was very nervous about coloring my hair but it could not have turned out better thanks to Chelsea! Will definitely be returning for many more balayage sessions! read more

The staff is awesome and the products they use are top notch. The whole place has a great vibe because they are dedicated to the overall artistry of the salon experience. Book your appointment online and find extra parking in the back. You won't regret it. read more

Anna Todd does FABULOUS hair ! Excellent cut and color styled to perfection! Love this place.

I love Educe salon! I discovered it when I followed my stylist Suzanne there from a prior establishment. The salon is beautiful, clean, upscale and conveniently located. The staff is professional and really nice. My stylist, Suzanne is cool, professional, and always makes my hair look great. She takes particular care to always give a great cut. Also, Suzanne gives EXCELLENT relaxing shampoos....the greatest!! I am very satisfied with Suzanne and the gang at Educe. I highly suggest that the next time you need to spoil yourself and your hair...go to Educe and ask for Suzanne. read more

Best place in Orlando to get great hair. Mark Rodriguez, listens & provides exceptional service. He is a consummate professional. From wash, color, cut to dry, you are never disappointed. Give Mark a call, he is a GEM!! read more

Love Educe! Mark is amazing! I've always had lighter tones in my hair and would always switch up the color bc I would get sick of it but after seeing Mark the color is still amazing even 8 weeks later all I needed was a touch up!! Amazing atmosphere & stylists! Totally would recommend him to all my friends! read more

Getting my hair redone at another salon today. Very disappointed in my color by Lizzie. Looks no different than I walked in and she was late to my 10:00 am appointment. If you are trying out this salon go see Tara! read more

On a whim I decided to cut my super long hair into a lob as I was driving through Orlando. I called educe and was able to get an appointment with Jonathon Luna- a cut and balayage specialist. He was AMAZING. I just told him to cut it all off and let him work his magic. He was meticulous in first cutting the length off while my hair was dry, then washing my hair, then shaping the entire cut. My lob looked stunning straight and after he put some waves into it. I absolutely love it and will be making the drive from Jacksonville to Educe to see him again! read more

When I lived in Orlando I always went to Chelsea (Milligan) for color and she was amazing. Though I did basic one tone requests, I recommended her to close friends who had more intricate coloring such as balayage etc, and they continue to go back ever since. Before the prices deter you, understand that you definitely are getting what you're paying for. Great aesthetic of a salon as well. read more

So... gave this place two shots. Won't go back. First time, the girl at the desk charged my debit card the full amount even though I paid $100 of my bill in cash... So when I caught her (I'm convinced the $100 was going in her pocket), she grabbed my card and ran it again even though I said I think that will mess up my account... (she acted totally annoyed). She swore it would not mess up my account... WELL (apparently I'm a pyschic) IT DID. Which meant it took ALL of the money out of my account for the ENTIRE weekend... So I got to explain to my 8 year old daughter why we had to cancel our plans and stay home all weekend waiting for the money to be put back in the account (five days later). When I called to tell the salon (hoping to spare another customer), they were really mean about it... But offered me a "free service" next time I went back. I also noticed my eyes were really stinging when I left. And my hair was super sticky. It needed to be washed immediately after I left. Usually when I get highlights, I don't need to wash my hair for at least 3 days after...Not cool. So... decided to give the salon another shot (why???). This time I asked for no product. The free service was just something they were joking about I guess. Some free conditioner treatment... I have really greasy hair and the thought of conditioner is awful beyond measure to me....But Like isn't conditioner free? Doesn't it go with shampoo?? No. Nothing is free at this salon. They probably charge you for the air you breathe while there. But you''ll never know because they refuse to break down the price of things for you. Even if you ask. It is like mystery bill every time. And the rates are totally different from the web site. And if you ask about them they flat out won't answer. This time...Asked for no products in my hair. Was adamant from the second my butt hit the chair. SHE STILL put hairspray and some miscellaneous white gunk in it before she dried it... I asked about it and she said, "Oh, I'm just putting a little." But My hair is sticky. And my eyes are stinging. I have to wash my hair after I just spent $215 on it.... which is insane. Way too expensive for this. The girl at the front desk said, "oh well it is more expensive because it is downtown Orlando." I had to laugh. I lived in NYC for ten years, have had my hair done in Iceland, London, and NYC for nowhere near that insane amount of money. And my roots are still showing. Ugh. I asked about it and the stylist said, "Oh, my rates went up." My thought was, "Oh and you didn't feel that was a relevant conversation to have?" Because last time she said, "oh, next time when you come it will be less money." This was supposed to be a touch up. Only it was more money. In my opinion, not the best way to do business. They lost mine. My roots are still showing. When I asked about my roots she said, "oh once the toner washes out it will look better" Um... huh??? My hair is sticky. Blah. Shame on me. Once should have been enough. I feel I was over charged and dismissed. read more

I went to my appointment with Yanni and oh my God she was super rude with me, on the website they have super different prices and when I told her she answered that she was level "5" that if I wanted to pay less I could refer to a stylist level 1 or 2. Definitely I will not return to that beauty salon. She does not know me and she does not know if I can pay her. I just asked her why they said on page 158 dollars and there 366 ,. It was only a question. conclusion they lost a client. read more

Educe is beautiful, and filled with talented stylists. I have been going to the owner, Phillip, for 5 years now, and he is a phenomenal and talented artist. I've been beyond pleased with every single cut and color he's given me, as well as his service and professionalism. He has an easy manner, and listens to what you ask for, as well as offering suggestions of his own. Every friend I've ever sent to him has been really happy as well, and I get tons of compliments on my hair. The salon is beautiful, clean, stylish and modern, and I'm so happy it exists!! read more

Kat Chase saved me from the total lack of style my hair had morphed into six months after having my baby. She found a way to give me choppy, artsy bangs with cool layers without making me look like I was trying to be a teenager. And, to make it even better, it's always fun to see Kat. She is an awesome person. read more

I came here for Kat and was highly impressed with the salon and how clean it was compared to others I've been to in the past. Everybody was super friendly and I had a great time!! They also have top of the line products which speak for themselves. Definetly give them a try if you want somebody that can cut more than one style... read more

Mark Rodriguez did an awesome job fixing my mangled grown out hair. Super friendly, used awesome products (and the free conditioning treatment!). Gave me the cut I wanted but even better somehow. read more

I just love Nicole Dumas! She is a true artist, lovely to work with and very knowledgable, professional with a great personality. I just moved back to Orlando after 14 years and my former stylist has left the business. I am so glad to have found someone with the expertise that I have been used to. read more

Ashley is equal parts genius and artist! I love what she's been able to do with my very fine, flat blonde hair. She's a miracle worker when it comes to both color and cut. Additionally, the salon is a treat to visit. Very professional, upscale without being stuffy...I highly recommend it! read more

(ask for Nicole!) I wanted a balayage and a cut and it was fantastic! Nicole is so talented at all things hair! She listened to exactly what I wanted and executed it perfectly! Throughout the whole process she explained what she was doing and why. I'm so so so happy with how it turned out plus she's super fun to talk to! Seriously people, go check out this salon! It was beautiful and very big! read more

Jonathan Luna did my hair about a less then a month ago here, I have been meaning to make a review but life gets in the way! This being said, about a year ago I tried to have a hair stylist do a melt of blonde in my virgin hair but it turned out terrible. A ring around my head of bleach blonde and tears down my face! It was my first time a year ago having bleach touch my hair and after many sessions it turned out that i was killing my hair instead of making it prettier. Shortly after I dyed my hair pitch black and now the color a year or more later is gone or faded away. After my first experience I never wanted to have my hair touched or lightened again! Then I came across the idea that I should give it one more try, so I researched around my area and finally met with Luna to look at my hair first to see if it was possible to create the look I wanted! It was so I trusted him and I am so happy that I did because he has given me back my confidence and my glow! Right when i got home i took a million and 1 selfies and blew up my story social media of just selfies lol I keep getting compliments that I look brighter and happier which are the best type of compliments to receive after a hair day! Luna knew about my past experience and knew how worried I was. He made sure that he talked me through every single step that he had to do with my hair!! He hit the 5 W'S on explaining in detail of what he was doing. Luna made sure I felt comfortable while I sat during the process. It was suppose to be only a 3-4 hours take on this but it ended up being an hour or two over the 4 hours and I ended up closing the studio which i was totally okay with because I knew he was being patient and a perfectionist which made me extremely happy! He took the bad color out of my hair and took tiny tiny tiny strands of each sections of my hair and brightened them. He is extremely patient! And great conversation lol He noticed how damaged my hair was and suggested that a long layered cut would be great- My Hair has never shaped my face and body so great! I'm so happy that I found Luna and I wouldn't mess up his creation on my hair with any other stylist! I cannot wait to see what's yet to come ! read more

Had come here for the first time years ago on a referral for edgy modern hairstyles ( for a guy, which isn't common ) and have found the only place I trust my hair to! Over the years, I have been able to watch the salon as well as the stylists there grow as their talents and recognition have grown. Philip, the owner, is super down to earth has balanced not only promoting his own talents and brand but also, perhaps most nobly, bringing up the talented stylists and budding apprentices around him. The salon has expanded to keep up with their well deserved attention but have kept the personalized service I fell in love with from the first appointment. Easy website to schedule appointments, great, smiling staff that always offer drinks while you wait / get your hair done, and have never felt rushed to leave the chair or unhappy with any service, no matter who has done it - though, I must admit , If you want an awesome unconventional / edgy / rock n roll cut ( man or woman ) - SEE KAT CHASE!!! She is enchanting with scissors and clippers! I've seen what she can do with women's balayage color and it blew me away but she is just as talented with men's cuts ! Can't recommend this place or her enough! read more

Wayne is amazing! I got a keratin treatment with him today and he fixed my haircut that I had previously gotten in another salon, without taking away from the length. Can't wait to go back and get my hair done by him again read more

i'm honestly so disappointed with how my hair came out. i came in thinking i would at least look blonder because my roots needed a touch up. but my hair stylist told me i couldn't really do much to my hair so i was confident in her to do what she needed to do so i could have my roots done, but when i got home i realized i got barley any difference and got charge way over priced.. read more

I recently got a cut, highlights/lowlights with toner from Chelsea and it turned out AMAZING. She is one of the best in Orlando. She took me from blonde balayage to ashy light brown/dark blonde. I loved my experience at Educe. The staff are all super friendly. read more

EDUCE is a great salon who works with quality, style, color hair professionals. I mean to convey HAIR PROFESSIONALS! I have curly hair that frizzes with our Florida humidity. I'm more of a naturalist and don't like a lot of unnecessary non-sense. I lucked into Dawn Paulk 7 years ago and have forgone any other stylist since and I travel with ample opportunity to visit plenty of other salons. And I have. When I first started with Dawn she had a bit of project with my hair. When you "pop" into a salon and "take your chances" you should understand the pro may need more than one, two or more visits with you to make the change you're wanting to achieve. Dawn first asked me what I wanted done then gave me her expert opinion. I trusted her and have never looked back! Throughout the 7 years I've trusted Dawn she has helped me become not only happier in my personal life (dare I say...my husband appreciates me coming home after a visit with Dawn) and she continues to bring me compliments in my professional life. Dawn is not selfish with her talents. She has taught me how to work with my hair through technique and products so that when I'm on my own, at home or traveling, I'm confident I can look almost as fabulous as I do when I leave. If you're looking for a serious and fantastic stylist both in color and design, book an appointment with Dawn Paulk. But be fair to yourself and to Dawn, greatness isn't often achieved overnight. P.S. Prices here are comparable to other good salons but the results are better! read more

Best hair in town! Never been happier... Philip and Alicia have created such a great space and the service will make you come back again and again! read more

If I couldn't give them a 0 I would. Not only are they rude, and cocky when they mess up, but they don't even follow Florida state board regulations on cleanliness for brushes and stations. There were no containers with barbicide to disinfect brushes after every use. I know this because I am going to school for cosmetology. I have been there twice already the first time I went there and barely had any color done for 200 dollars, dawn relentlessly asked me to curl my hair even after I express to her my concern about time, which only ended up in her doing a less half decent job on a curl after I had to pay 40 dollars for a blow out. The second time I went I decided to go to a different stylist Chelsea. She dos a great job at getting me to go as blonde I was wanted to go, I asked for a bayalage she went up way too high after teasing my roots, when I asked her if it was going to be really high up, she said it would be look just like a bayalage and blend with my roots, when she was done with my color she said there were bands in my hair from the darker color that was there before, needless to say my hair was a mess, I was supposed to take my engagement pictures So I called to see if they could fix it and they were so rude and condescending back, I am honestly shocked. The fact that they done guarantee there work is shocking, being how cocky they are, according to them those bands were already in my hair. I have no choice but to report them to the better business bureau, I work locally and will not be recommending any other people I know to this place. They have ruined my engagement picture day and left a really and taste in my mouth. There's a million salons locally that have just as good or an even better reputation. read more

The stylist i used named Miranda just flat out ignored everything i said and is a pompous child. Ruined my hair without a care about it, she will do it to you as well if you let her. AVOID at all costs!! read more

I just want to stop by and say how happy I am with this salon and the Way " chelsea my hair stylist " and all team from educesalon take care of me and my hair since day 1 I feel so relief because just be honest if you hair look fabulous everything else is perfect hahaha . Their customer services is great, the salon is clean and super cute. I can't wait to my next appointment. read more

I definitely can not recommend the Salon. Maybe the owner Phillip has the skills to run the Salon and he can cut hairs. The hairdresser La Shon Taylor can not even cut straight bangs . Therefore my haircut for $75 without washing my hair looked like I did it myself. I had pointed tips in the front line..... Almost cut off , one side longer as the other!!!My recommendation, take the scissors away from her and let her go back to school! Had to go to another hairdresser to get my haircut leveled and lost 2.5 inch length before the other hairdresser found a point to get a even line in my complete haircut. read more

I'm never disappointed when I leave this place! I've been getting my hair colored and cut by Chelsea Milligan, she always does an incredible job, and exceeds my expectations! The atmosphere and staff are great! Highly recommend:-) read more

I come here quite often. The atmosphere is laid back and very relaxing. Chelsea has been a friend of mine for a few years but she does an amazing job cutting my hair. I wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

My friend Emily, another reviewer referred me to this salon and has been with stylist Chelsea for about 2 years now. I, a man, decided to head here when I had an important interview to go to. Chelsea did an amazing job, Mens hair cuts, womens hair cuts, cut, color, the whole thing. She puts up with our antics and she's the best they got. They also have diet coke, this makes Emily very happy, and I drink their wine! Did I mention chelsea's in a MAGAZINE? She's won awards. She's in the top 100 stylists in the world. I'm way up blessed to have her doing me and my best friend's hair. read more

John g my stylist is amazing always love my hair . The atmosphere is relaxing , everyone is upbeat and happy .

I don't have the right words to describe this salon and my fav artist Kat Chase! She is by far the Best color artist and cut I have ever seen ! I'm SO happy I found her via Instagram when I was looking for the best of the best after years of doing nothing to my hair due to repeated mistakes by less experienced professionals ( low and high end salons ... It's okay, we all need to learn ) She definitely has learned and continues to do so ... She has the experience and the knowledge... And the most important quality: The eye!!! Oh ... So important ! Which is able to see where direction to take you so you can never go back to boring hair ever again ! I just got my vivid colors set in a balayage style ... A lub textured Cut by extremely talented ( and super nice dude ! ) and salon owner Master artist Phillip Rosado :) I can't be happier ! All I have gotten are compliments and it has been just a few hours grocery shopping at traders Joe's lol ... I already made my two next appointments Bc there's no way I can ever go anywhere else. No wonder people travel from all over the world to come see them :) Super nice and sweet staff and everyone is knowledgable. I Lov3 Kat! Love my hair and everyone at Educe ! Check her work on social media and also the whole team and fall in love with hair again ! read more

Found this salon on Instagram and made a same day appointment after my regular stylist (that I Love!) became ill and had to cancel all her appointments for the day. I am super picky about my hair and was very apprehensive about letting a "stranger" do my color and style, but I had an event this weekend and needed my hair done.. Salon is nice and trendy. Staff is friendly and greeted you right away. Dawn was my stylist. When I called, I asked if Neal or Kat (solely based on their Instagram posts of their work) were available, but they were both booked. Dawn was very nice and took her time to find out exactly what I was wanting. She explained each step she was doing (I think she could tell I was nervous too). She colored and toned my hair and styled it. I am very pleased with the results and will definitely come back if I ever have a "hair emergency" again. I would recommend this salon without reservation. read more

I had been to these salon several times before, but yesterday's appointment left me with no desire to return. I made an appointment for a haircut with Philip, owner of the salon. His talent is unquestionable, but the service was not what I paid for. To begin with, there was a raise of $20 for a haircut with him, which is now costing $120. So Ok, but if I'm paying for HIS services, I do not appreciate having someone else drying my hair. I have a lot of thick hair, that's why I'm choosing a top rated stylist and not Hair Cuttery to cut and style. He came for finishing touches, but the result on my hair is never the same. I was very disappointed with a half done service, and then to have to pay an unexpected additional 20!...sorry, but I don't think Educe will be my choice next time. I expect the service I pay for, if the style is done by someone else I should at least be given the option of who. This poor girl had to idea what to do with my hair!!! Sandra read more

Great place to say the least. I made a mistake and accidentally showed up wrong day/wrong time and they literally got me in with no hassles or problems. I was super apologetic and the entire staff from start to finish was so professional and extremely accommodating. They matched my hair color perfectly and the cut was just what I needed. No complaints! This is officially my permanent go-to salon. I lived in D.C. prior to moving here and wasn't sure if I would find a salon that would stand up to mine, and yes!! Yes, they did. Thank you Educe Salon and staff for being uber professional and flexible. read more
