    The back of my head  WHY

    WORST HAIRCUT OF MY ENTIRE LIFE!! I had to download yelp to leave my first review after this one. I've been to this location and the ulmerton location before, always a good experience. Today I had a different stylist. I went in today and asked to get a TRIM, I even specified, I need a few inches off and to get rid of the dead ends. I made a joke that my hair is hot on my neck. The FIRST thing this lady does is cut ALL 8 inches off the back of my head. Once I realized what she was doing- I was very calm and cool. I said "oh wow that's way more than what I meant. I said a couple inch TRIM"... not cut it all off. While she was trying to be sweet, she immediately blamed it on me and said it was my fault because I told her it was hot on my neck and I mislead her, even though I'm not possibly sure how much more clear a few inch TRIM could be. I withheld saying that and responded with "well can we keep the rest of it long? Please don't touch the back anymore. Then she got frustrated, I wasn't even trying to get an apology or accountability, as we are all human and misunderstandings and mistakes happen. But then she wanted to blame it on me for "moving too much" or apparently not being clear enough about what a trim was. Even if I wanted layers, which I didn't ask for, I can't even try to understand what kind of haircut she was trying to give me. I have a reverse bob now.... I tried to politely end the haircut but she insisted she at least straightened it out (which she didn't) then the entire time just gave me a hard time for looking up to see how much she was cutting and complaining under her breath "oh my god" as if it was so crazy I wanted to make sure she understood what I was saying. I never lost my cool I just told her the cut is over I'm done. I still just got back and forth from her about how it was my fault. I absolutely hate being this guy or complaining online, so I won't name the stylist. But on top of getting the worst haircut of my entire life somehow I actually had to argue with the woman to stop and take blame for the disaster of a cut. I still paid for it and all of course. Tbh I could have asked someone at the bus stop on ulmerton for a trim and would have gotten better results. I also attached a before photo of what my hair looked like before (in blue shirt) RIP to my long hair I've been growing the last 8 years

    I'm happy! I've got the best haircut I've had in years. Dottie cut perfect face-framing layers and a side bang in my very fine, long blonde hair. My cut actually looks just like the picture I brought in (attached)! The music playing was a great mix of country and pop, actually a pleasure to listen to. I'll be recommending Dottie, she knows what she's doing.

I've never once questioned the skill or professionalism of the stylists here--they truly know their craft. Over time, I've had the pleasure of working with a few different stylists, but I've finally found my stylist, and he works magic every single time I'm in his chair. The atmosphere at the salon feels like family. The owner (the mother) is one of the kindest people I've ever met, and her daughter, Olivia, is the aesthetician who takes care of my eyebrows. Olivia is not only incredibly talented and skilled, but she also takes the time to listen and make adjustments if I ever feel unsure about the color or darkness of my brows. She has a real gift for understanding what her clients truly want--even when we don't explain it perfectly. This salon is the full package: skilled professionals, a welcoming environment, and prices that are fair and absolutely worth it. I recommend Salon Gaboa hands down--if you're looking for a place that combines talent with genuine care, this is it.

The owner suggested her as someone who knows how to work with long hair so I tried her seven months ago after a bad cut somewhere else with someone else left my hair uneven and grossly choppy. She helped me even it out dramatically but she suggested then we work on growing it out. So I did. I went back today for another cut and it is flawless. She's so good. After many, many years of searching for someone who can do a great job on my long hair, I am relieved to have really found that. The shampoo massage is worth the money I spend here alone.

I asked for a butterfly haircut with face framing, and it was served! He was knowledgeable and very nice. He is also an ombré & balayage expert, so if you tryna do something fun with your hair, he's your guy! Super grateful for this place! After getting a bad haircut from a different salon 3 months ago, I was completely convinced that i would never find a good one... until I finally decided to try Flök. They restored my confidence and my faith in salons. (At least this one & the one I used to go to in San Diego)

    Stayed here over graduation weekend for my son's high school celebration and overall I'd rate it…read moreabout 3.5 stars. The hotel itself is beautiful and centrally located on Clearwater Beach with just a short walk across the street to the beach. We booked two suites , a 2 queen private rooftop terrace suite with a full kitchen and a poolside king suite with a kitchenette which were spacious and perfect for our large gathering. The rooftop terrace was definitely a highlight, and the hotel is within walking distance to restaurants, the pier, playgrounds, and shops. I also liked that the pool is on the 8th floor with a great view and access limited to hotel guests only. Pool chairs were very comfortable, towels were unlimited with no towel card system, and beach cabana/umbrella rentals were half off for guests. The hot tub being on the 16th floor separate from the pool didn't make much sense though. Room service was daily, and I appreciated being able to text the front desk instead of calling. I highly recommend using the text feature and keeping everything in writing because there were discrepancies regarding credits we were promised. There were unfortunately several maintenance and service issues during our stay. The living room TV constantly glitched and wouldn't sync properly even after maintenance attempted to fix it. More importantly, the AC completely stopped working in the rooftop terrace suite for hours while we hosted about 25 guests for the graduation party. Everyone was hot and sweaty in almost 100-degree indoor conditions. Thankfully the terrace breeze helped, but being offered only a $100 credit for such a major issue during a once-in-a-lifetime celebration felt insufficient! The parking garage situation was also frustrating. We were told our vehicles could enter and exit freely with the resort fee, but every time we tried leaving, the room keys and garage passes failed. We repeatedly went back to front desk to get new passes and had to pay $40 to exit then contact customer service afterward for refunds such a waste of vacation time Customer service overall was very hit or miss. Some employees were wonderful while others seemed miserable and unfriendly. The onsite coffee shop was particularly disappointing I'd recommend walking across the street from The front lobby to the real Starbucks instead. At times it felt like the hotel relies heavily on its excellent location and beach proximity rather than consistent service standards.Coming from previous stays at Sandpearl Resort, I personally would still choose Sandpearl for smaller family vacations. However, I will say this hotel offers more flexibility for large gatherings and easier garage access compared to Sandpearl's valet-only setup. That said, between the AC outage, power issues in BOTH suites floor 8 and 17, lukewarm water, TV problems, phone problems, garage charges, and inconsistent customer service, I would probably try another Clearwater Beach hotel next time. We still made wonderful graduation memories and the location, spacious suites, rooftop terrace, and beach convenience were definitely the highlights of our stay.

Our room was pretty clean when we checked in. This review is just mainly about the check in. I'm not sure if the lady that checked us in was new, but when we checked in, she didn't tell us anything. She actually looked mad we checked in. She didn't even give us the paper that other guests received that gave them information about the hotel and what perks there were. I went to the front desk to check out, and that's when I saw the paper and grabbed it. I didn't realize they had welcome drinks because the lady that checked us in, didn't even give us that. When we checked in, we never knew we could've got a discount for beach chairs and umbrellas because the lady didn't give us the paper. We had to go down to the beach and asked, and that's how we found out. We didn't even know we can get discount for self parking, but luckily, my husband asked about parking. That's when she provided the information. I never knew we had 4 water bottles per day because the paper was never given to us. Never knew about daily pool snacks. In all, I didn't have a bad experience and I NEVER write bad reviews, but the check in was horrible. Lady was NOT nice at all.
