    This was my fourth visit to Empower and I will absolutely come back! Diana "Dee" and Kerri worked on my hair and did a great job. I wanted to soften my natural root to old highlight line. They incorporated my natural dark/ dirty blonde in lowlights and added some more highlights for dimension. A nice, soft, fall blonde. The salon itself is a pleasant place to spend time. I appreciate their detail in aesthetic, light refreshments, and holiday decor. I also admire their community involvement with organizations like Reach St Pete. Thank you Empower!

    Highly recommend! Brittany is an amazing stylist. She took the time to talk through what I envisioned for my hair and I appreciated her going through each step of the process! She is very detailed oriented and neat. Love the high quality products that Empower uses! Everyone was friendly and such a positive atmosphere. I'm so happy and relieved to have finally found my new hair salon and stylist!

    Kerri at Empower is amazing! I came in with a very specific thing in mind and she went beyond my expectations! I had an old ombre (about 16 months since my last dye job) and wanted something drastic and new. I sent her the reference photo and told her I wanted reds that matched my skin tone while also adding in dimension without flat color. I was a little afraid about damaging my hair, but Kerri took care to ensure that my hair stayed intact. It's been about 5 weeks and I've had no more fallout with each wash than I had before my appointment, and my hair still looks amazing. The color retention is so good, and she trimmed all my dead ends as well. The cost was great value, at least for what I'm used to paying in LA salons, and the quality of product is impeccable. She is great in the consultation, and was quick to reply to my instagram DM and get me in to the next available appt. She wants to make sure her clients are comfortable with their color, especially those who aren't used to drastic changes. I can't wait to see Kerri again to refresh my red color and go in with an even icier white in the front! Reference photo, before photo, day of after in different lighting, and 4.5 weeks of growth attached. 10/10 recommend Kerri!

    Liz Barnett is amazing!! She always gets my blonde right and gives the best haircuts. I get compliments all the time on my hair. Definitely the best.

    I went to Sarah for hair and makeup for an event. She talked and listened and did a fantastic job…read more I decided to try her for a cut and color and she also did a fantastic job! The salon is very pleasant and the prices in line with the area. This is now my regular salon!

    I saw Alecia at Salon Color Bar and she was FANTASTIC. So friendly, knowledgeable, and talented,…read moreshe not only was able to perfectly recreate the hair color in the photo I showed her, but also bring the vision of my hair I had in my mind (but couldn't quite express) to life. She made my hair look SO much healthier with the color and a cut (I needed the hard truth that I had a lot of dead ends), as well. She first walked through what I wanted and what would look best for my hair type (I have baby fine, straight hair that had an old, grown out blonde highlight job that turned brassy) and then worked her magic. She chatted when I wanted to chat and other times just let me soak in the experience (especially the amazing shampoo/scalp massage). She definitely has found a repeat client with me! The salon itself is small but doesn't feel cramped at all, and everyone is super nice so you end up joining in other conversations, as well. You can have coffee or water and your stylist is with you from start to finish (no hand-offs to someone else who will shampoo your hair for you). Sunday was a low key day so I can't be sure it's always like this, but I appreciated that level of attention and care. The quality is worth the cost (not the cheapest but also not the most expensive color I've had, and the B3 is worth $50 more), for sure!

    Virgin black hair here - and was debating on the idea of going a bit lighter. I fell in love with…read morethe before/after pics from here and their Insta so I decided to commit. Best choice made because Yu-Lee came through and magicked (I've got no better word) my hair to life. There's so much dimension and I adore the blending. Yu-Lee was even considerate to color my hair in such a way my white/grey hairs would blend in while growing out! The salon is so cozy and bright and everyone is friendly, considerate, and professional at what they do. Pricing was reasonable to me, especially considering my virgin hair took quite a bit of time to lighten. Can't go wrong with coming here :)

    Walking in, I was not only surprised how beautiful the inside was but also that it didn't feel like…read morethe average salon or hair studio. Like stations set up in a row, etc. It felt so personal and comforting! I've had more than my share of hair horror stories and had been with the same stylist for over 15yrs after so many bad ones before. But moving to FL, I've been so nervous and the first two stylist i met damage my hair and even my scalp! So I was very apprehensive about any others here. I researched a lot until I found this one. Jen was so responsive and kind while we were scheduling. I had at least two inches of growth, usually having color low lights and pretty blonde highlights over dark brown hair. Plus I have very Long, thick and course hair. Jen was so nice and had a pretty good idea of what I was trying to achieve. Her products smelled so good and I didn't feel any discomfort! She dedicated hours and it paid off for me! Despite my growth, it looks amazing! It looks like I envisioned. If you know anything about lightening and keeping up with it, it's not easy so I will need another session to get it perfect. But even so, you'd never even notice! I finally left a Fl stylist without crying!! I trust her so much with my hair, we even discussed going a little lighter and making slight changes. My hair even feels healthier and smoother after my first wash. Other things a valued about Jen: she didn't try to push any products on me but I loved them so much, I'm going to get some! She also didn't make me feel ugly. She didn't make try to push her own suggestions and really heard what I wanted. She explained everything, including why to have a good trim. Which btw made my ends looks so dramatic cleaner. I could go on and on but hopefully this provides enough reasons to trust Jen! I trust her so much, I'm even taking her recommendations for other services like lash work. * Being asian and white, my hair isn't perfect or stereotypical to either ethnicity. I only bring this up because when I was searching for someone who was good at Asian or difficult hair, I didn't find anything so I'm hoping this helps someone.
