Had a very good experience here with Sonia. She was very professional and gave a good consult b4 attempting a color fix for my hard to manage hair. She was honest and genuine . Fair prices and great satisfaction! I'll be back read more

Shame on Nicole for firing Prena, the best hair stylist ever. Not everyone is tech savvy. Thank goodness I was able to track her down at Salon 43. 4232 Cortez Rd Bradenton. 941 751 20000. Let's all support her! read more

I love this Fantastic Sams Hair Salon! The owner is always welcoming and makes sure all the customers are taken a good care of. My hair dresser is Sonal and I absolutely enjoy coming to the salon letting her do her magic! Sonal is very thorough, professional and knows exactly how to do the hair to make her customers happy! Highly recommended! read more

Quoted $45 for a simple French braid- no thanks! Couldn't made a great profit and tip but that was a ridiculously high price for a fast dry braid. And the place was empty with several stylist sitting around. read more

First time coming here. Amy did a great job cutting my hair. She fixed my layers and face framing for me. It was very busy and she apologized for the wait. Overall, I felt like she did a good job and didn't feel like she was rushing through it as I feel like people tend to always rush. read more

Received a bad haircut from Ashley. My advice is if you're having a stressful day, don't cut anyone's hair. I had to go elsewhere to get it fixed and I will never go back. read more

Today was my first visit at Fantastic Sams as a walk-in for a hair cut. The salon was clean with a friendly atmosphere. Angelica was my stylist and she was fascinating! I ended up with a hair coloring since I had about an inch of gray and ended up with the hair style I've been wanting!! Thank you Angelica, you have a new client! read more

Big thank you to Manager Sonal and Stylist Ashley. This salon has great customer service. They promptly addressed and fixed a small issue I had with a prior service, so I will keep going back! read more

Excellent haircuts and color every time with Van as my stylist. I always feel very comfortable whenever I'm there

The worst highlights I have ever gotten in my life- my hair looks the same as when I walked in and I was charged $160!! I asked for the lightest possible highlights on my already dirty blonde hair so it's not even drastic and also needed to go heavy to cover greys....also told the stylist I wanted toner put in numerous times and she just didn't do it. She told me to just go home and use blonde shampoo! And to charge me a for a full head of highlights yet to put so few in, it literally looks no different than before I came in! Roots are just as bad as before- And crazy to be told to just use blonde shampoo after asking multiple times for toner! The 'highlights' are literally unnoticeable! I now need to find a new salon for a total foiling repeat! And pay out another close to $200- it's not right! read more

Update: Now I am three weeks out from what is in of the worst experiences I have had concerning my hair. I have left a couple of messages for the owner. Obviously when it comes to follow up its not a high priority. Nothing more thrilling than being ignored. read more

I originally booked for color retouch for my gray probably an inch from the roots. Quoted for $65. Fine. Since I was already here, why not get a haircut, right? Says adult $25 like all FS I've been. Check out time and to my surprise my total was $150!!!! Wait... what? So I asked why and she rambled on add ons like it's just not an ordinary cut so it's more and so on... Shouldn't you be telling the customer pricing so to be aware if its any different than an adult haircut charge? None of the FS I've been charged me for a cut more than $25. She blow dried my hair half wet.... so she charged me for that too? I was also wondering why the place was dead. Not the typical FS I've been that's always packed. And I think I now know why. In fairness, Van is awesome and knows her stuff but unfortunately I will not be back for my highlights and end up paying more than I should lol! Some FS, I've been would do consult and in the end give you the price and have you sign that you're in agreement of pricing before starting the work. Which was I think was a great idea! read more

I went to get my hair cut Friday evening. Just wanted a small amount trimmed off into a shag style. I showed the stylist a picture of something similar to what i wanted. I even mentioned i would be ok with a little longer style. This woman butchered my hair. It was to be just shoulder length but i now have hair 2 inches long in the back. I tried to tell myself it's only a hair cut. It'll grow back, but i am so upset i cant stand it. This woman didnt listen to me and cut off almost all of my hair. I will NEVER return to this location again or any famtastic sams in the future. I have been devastated all weekend and i am embarrassed to go tp work on Monday. read more

Fantastic Sams Cut & Color - Hair Salons Near Me - Riverview, Florida

I cannot say enough good things about my experience today. I booked a cut and color with Maribel, and I have to say, this was the best service I have ever had at a salon. I arrived about 15 minutes early to my appointment and was greeted immediately. She receptionist let me know that Maribel would be ready around 2:00. She ended up running about 15 minutes late, but everyone was so pleasant it did not both me one bit. When I sat with Maribel, I showed her the dye job I wanted. She did multiple samples and really took her time. In the end, we decided on a different color which was my back-up because the blue I wanted was not going to work. She styled my hair exactly how I wanted it, and the coloring job was incredibly thorough. I really cannot stress how impressed I am. I am sorry I did not catch the other employee's name, but she also needs to be commended. The salon closed at 5 but we did not finish my hair until almost 6 PM, and the other stylist stayed so mine wasn't alone! What customer service!!! Seriously, if you are skeptical about a "chain" place, please try Maribel out. I promise you will not be disappointed. 5 star service from the entire staff, I look forward to coming back. read more

This place was a complete waste of my time. Made an appointment online which had no wait time. When I arrived they took 30 minutes of waiting before I lost patience and simply left as I watched them take numerous walk ins in front of me. Maybe it was a flunk? Maybe they are legitimately terrible? All I know is I won't ever go back. read more

Made an appointment with days in advance just to receive a call 1 hour before the appoingment to tell me that they do not do special occasion hairstyle. What kind of "hair stylist" cannot do a a hairstyle. Is more like is a barber shop. read more

Great color, cuts and styles at a good price point! They offer nightly specials for cuts, weekly specials for colors, and you can also sign up for their rewards program and earn money off that way. The color line is ammonia free and have some of the most beautiful reds I have ever seen! read more

Terrible, just terrible customer service. Gave it a try for a second time. Disappointed

Thought it was just going to be another trip to a salon for a quick trim. Alfred made the experience enjoyable decided to get some highlights he made time for me. The salon is clean the staff is very friendly. Love my hair and look forward to my next appointment. Great value as well. read more

I went in for a quick hair cut for my daughter thats 3. Her hair is growing on even. I was happy to find out that there was no wait. The stylist was very personable with my daughter. She asked me what style i wanted. She was quick and accurate. In no time she was done and my daughter had beautiful hair. I think the hair cut was a little expensive but i think i should have looked for a coupon. read more

I love going to the salon. I always have a great time and outcome. The girls that work here are just amazing. I recommend to any of my friends. read more

After growing out a very bad cut (from someone else), I made a last minute decision last week to head to Fantastic Sams for a cut. I went on a Friday after work with no appointment and had no wait at all. Shelby took control and with excellent skill (and a the help of a razor) whipped my hair into shape. I have tricky hair, it's coarse and wavy and even with that bad prior cut to work with she made it look fantastic. I'm super pleased and will most definitely be back. I have found my new stylist in Fantastic Sams of all places! read more

I would give it zero stars if i could. do NOT get your hair cut at this place. They messed up my hair so badly when they cut it. First off, they cut it SUPER uneven. One side is longer than the other and its very extremely noticeable. Also not to mention they are extremely rude, and rush the cuts. read more

This location has serviced me 3x due to my legience of the GA locations which were excellant service, customer relations and training..2 of 3 visits here were poor outcomes due to lack of skill set and attention to customer; however I continued to give them a third try. Today I was to be seen by the former stylist Adrianne for low lights and trim to bring definition to my natural brunette color that was colored over last visit due to its light color which I no longer wanted. I sat in chair and conveyed to Adrianne to please not take offense but needed her to know my last visit she butchered my hair in back and didnt cut/stack satisfactory and was in too much of a hurry and could she please not rush and stack my hair in back as I requested. Instead of calling or going back due to my dismay I still tipped her and just held off till next visit to fill her in..She took my request as an insult instead of critique and said "I'm offended, take your hair somewhere else". I won't visit FSams Riverview location ever due to catty employees who back bite one another in front of customers and poor customer relations. Highly unprofessional staff and turnover. read more

I have always been Pleased going to this Salon, they always have Coupons advertised in the Sunday Paper...and I take my kids their to get there Haircuts for usually $6.95 with the coupon, can't beat that ! I do not make an appt. for the hair cuts but for any other service you really need too ! I get my hair done there...yes I admit it.

They have awesome products and I haven't been bummed yet going here...I will be when we move however ! read more

The only reason I came into this place was because of the coupon for $15 off color and cut. It was my first time ever doing anything to my hair and I'm so glad I went here. I was afraid that I should have gone to a salon that wasn't under Fantastic Sams but my mind was changed. I got light brown highlights and my stylist was Cody (not sure about spelling) and I loved her! She was super nice and kept up conversation. She was careful with choosing the specific color I wanted too! My hair turned out exactly what I wanted and she even styled it by curling it and telling me about what hair products she recommended! I'm definitely going to go back here again. I paid about $90 (with the discount) because my hair is long and thick but to me, it was worth it. read more

Zero stars is more appropriate. Worse haircut ever! I had to go to another salon to have it corrected. I will not ever return or recommend this salon to anyone. read more

I visited Fantastic Sams this morning to get my highlights touched up. Sooo I was hoping to get the same person who did them last time but she no longer worked there. (Good thing) I had the pleasure of letting Alfred do my highlights.... Listen when I tell you he made me a very satisfied customer from start to finish. I was literally going to just have him do my highlights and then go over to my Dominican Salon to have them blow out my hair to get it straight. When I tell you Alfred had me feeling like I had just walked out of the Dominican Salon when he finished! He was freakin AWESOME!!! Thanks again! read more

Fantastic Sams Cut & Color - Hair done by Will - Hair Salons Near Me - Riverview, Florida

I went into FS bc the pricing for a haircut is great. I've got long hair and only needed about an inch or so cut off and wanted to add layers. I had about 3 pictures of the same haircut that I showed the stylist who I got. I told her I wanted to keep my length, but maybe an inch. I wanted it angled like a v so long in the middle, and then layered All over up the sides. Carla was very sweet, presented well so I figured I'd be fine. I started to realize tho, that she was probably new. I always tell hairstylists which side I ALWAYS part my hair on, but Carla insisted on parting my hair in the middle to do the layers. I said fine bc I figured she knew what she was doing. She asked me if I wanted my hair blow dried, and since the sign says a shampoo and blowout are included with the haircut for like $26 or so, i said yes. I eventually figured out that she was definitely new bc another coworker had to remind her about another client who has been sitting by the heaters that needed to be finished before me. So I got up and sat down in another seat. Finally I got back into the chair for her to finish my blow dry. She was using a round brush and when I was almost finished asked me if I wanted it straightened... (my hair was already straight from the round brush blow dry she was doing), I said no. When she FINALLY was finished she showed me my hair with the mirror from the back. *face palm* NOTHING like the photos and she had got almost 3 inches off my hair clear across. I was living, but What do you even say at that point?! I was pretty much over it. I had gotten to the salon at 9:15 and literally didn't get done till 11:15. Then when they cashed me out, instead of my cut being, as the sign listed, less than $30, it was like $48. A coworker came to help ring me out and asked how long my hair was, so I turned around and then I think they might have charged me for having long hair?!?! I wasn't aware that was a thing. Never happened before. So with tip, I paid like $56 for a 2 hour haircut that should've taken like maybe 45 min. Esp considering it was NOTHING like what I had showed her. The end. read more

We made an appointment for a 1:00 first haircut. We waited until 1:25 and then when I took my daughter to the bathroom, the stylist took a walk-in who just arrived ahead of us. I said something to the receptionist and she said that she told the woman we were next, but the stylist didn't listen. I went and told the stylist we were next, had been waiting, and had an appointment. She said she was sorry but didn't know where we were. We walked out and won't go back. read more

My hair stylist is Carla and she is probably one of the best colorists I have ever had. She listens and blends the color just right so everything looks natural. When you grey prematurely you have to have your hair colored quite a lot. And here in Tampa I have paid big bucks (over $100) for a color job and not had it as good as the job Carla does. She is friendly and fun and does a great job. The business itself is fun and active with all the stylists looking like theyy enjoy thier jobs and customers. They also have great coupons so come try them out and for color call Carla! read more

First of all.....DO NOT GO HERE!!!! They will totally mess up your hair. They gave me to Martha- she had ZERO idea how to cut hair. I had long hair and was asking for a long bob with light faded in layers. She went to ask someone what to do (should have been a flag and I should have left then.) They told her to dry cut my hair. She started cutting and I was getting worried. She was cutting wwaaayyy too short. I told her she was cutting too much and she said it would look different when finished. Then to cut the layers- all she did was section off my hair at different points going up my hair and cut STRAIGHT across!!!! you could literally see every hair and blunt cut she made. I started bawling in the chair. She threw up her arms and said I gave you a haircut. The "manager" tried to come and "fix it". Her solution was to just cut more off. I can't even put my hair in a ponytail now- and the layers are still VERY blunt. I hate it- I cry every time I look into the mirror. read more

My Wife has been wanting to get her hair cut for some time, with her last one having been 27 months ago, before we left Japan. Such services in Japan will spoil a women, with its focused attention on the customer, and professional results. We lived in Miami for three years and she had her hair cut twice, and was totally unhappy both times - leaving her afraid to try a shop in Tampa. Using Google, she decided to try Fantastic Sam's, which had five stars and is in our neighborhood. While the breadth and depth of the entire salon experience did not come close to Japan, she was ecstatic about the quality of the cut, with the low cost assuaging her preference for the more elaborate services to be found in Japan. Carla was her hairdresser, and my Wife subsequently made an appointment for coloring and tint for the next day. Thank you Carla! You've made my Wife very happy. read more
