5 Star update for fabulous extensions, taking them out for the summer, and being left with GREAT…read morehair (better than before the extensions!). So here's the thing- I was initially nervous about getting extensions because I had heard horror stories about how they thin your natural hair. Enter: Megan: My long-time hair color fairy and the guardian of my hair (lol). Knowing she'd never steer me wrong, when I expressed interest in extensions, I was confident my hair underneath would be fine. 1.5 years later and I just recently took the extensions out for a summer break (your girl runs hot!) and I am so impressed by the state of my scalp and hair now. Not only has my amount of hair not diminished, I even feel like it's much healthier than before the extensions. I would think this is due to expert installation as well as the fact that the extensions lengthened the time between washes (my fine hair used to get so weighed down and greasy, so I used to have to wash very often, and the extensions prolonged the volume). I will definitely be doing extensions again, especially now that I know that I can easily get them installed and take breaks as needed. Megan was also able to help me extend the life of my extensions with education on how to care for them, so I still have them in a bag for when I go back to long, voluminous, vavavoom hair. Once again- no one is allowed to touch my hair with color or extensions unless their name is Megan Essig. Previous review: 5 Stars for extensions that perfectly match my hair and have changed my whole hair routine! It's been 8 months now of having extensions by Megan and I could not be happier. She is an absolute expert at color matching and she helps you buy the extensions directly from the supplier (no upcharging here!) from there the install is totally painless and flawless. I surprise people constantly when I let them know I have extensions because it looks like my real hair and the roots don't stick out prominently. The best part? I thought this would add to my hair care routine time, but on the contrary- I can go longer between washes and styling because it holds the style so well and doesn't get greasy. So now my natural hair is healthier. Truly wild because of the things I've heard from others about what extensions did to their hair. I think it's a testament to the way she installs them and the care that's taken. She also does my color- read my previous reviews for how obsessed I am with her taking me from dark brunette to an icy blonde. Forever a client!

I've been seeing Megan for 3 years now and I'll never trust another person with my hair again!!!…read more I've been getting extensions off and on for the last 10 years. I've had all types of extensions - tape-ins, k-tips, and wefts. I can speak from my own 10 year extension journey when I say it is very important to do your research before getting extensions. When I started seeing Megan, she spent an immense amount of time showing me where my where my previous hair dresser had damaged my hair and showed me how I can take better care of my hair. I had literal bald spots. She focused on getting my REAL hair healthy before we even entered into extension territory. Im happy to report that after a year of extensions with Megan, my hair is actually HEALTHIER and (shockingly) LONGER!!!!! than it was before getting extensions. Megan is the only stylist I've seen that has been able to keep my hair as healthy as it was pre-extensions. She truly cares about your hair health at the end of the day. Plus, every time I tell someone I have extensions they're SHOCKED because of how well Megan can blend them into your real hair. On top of that, any time I come to Megan with an issue she always has a solution. I went through a phase where my hair was getting greasy extremely fast no matter how often or not I would wash it. Megan recommended hair care products that helped my scalp balance back out within a week. And the cherry on top is a glass of wine while she pampers you

After moving to Florida I had the dreaded task of looking for a new stylist. Ladies, you know how…read morefrightening this can be. This was the first place I selected and hit it out of the park on the first try. Thank God! That was in 2013. Evie has been cutting and styling my hair ever since. She listens to what you want, clarifies with you to make sure she understands, and when she says she is taking off an inch, it's an inch. Not an inch and a half to two inches. She also takes me on time and has never canceled on me. Her bubbly personality makes me look forward to seeing her every time I return. The prices are really reasonable too. That was important. I never understood paying $100 to get some dead ends cut off and a blow dry.

So I have been going here for over a year now and I want to give them 5 Stars but I can't - and…read moreit's for one simple reason: the owner. The stylists get 5 stars- they know what they are doing. I have had a full dye, partial highlights and full highlights numerous times and have had the best cut and style to go along with the color. Verica is my personal favorite and have gone to her each time I've gone in except once when she was out injured. (The gal I saw was a temp and she was just as awesome!) So now for the hold off on the star. The owner sees dollar signs in everyone that walks in - if you know this ahead of time you can prepare yourself. Read on: The first 2 times I was duped in to additional services that I did not request nor did I know about until I paid at the end and wondered why my bill was so high. In asking what I was paying for I found that the first time it was for a pre-treatment & after treatment since they dyed my whole head to get it all one base color. Then the second time was an additional conditioner added after she washed and conditioned my hair. So now that I was educated, I asked them not to add anything on unless it was shown to me and approved by me. Haven't had an issue since. Still go there and will continue to. It's nice to be pampered and enjoy a glass of wine while your hair is getting done!

This salon is truly a gem tucked away in Village Walk homes!!!!…read more I'm from south Florida and came up here for a week and needed my hair cut after someone made a shelf with my layers. Patrick very swiftly became my savior as he sat down with me and talked about what I wanted to achieve with this appointment and he did a marvelous job! He took his time and washed, cut, and dried my hair with excellent care and technique! It's finally fixed :) I'm shocked, but happy to say that the best hair cut of my life was done right here with Patrick in Lake Nona!!!! :) will be returning for my next hair cut... He gets it! You will NOT regret coming here. Make an appointment!!

The salon management, Ivy, is super rude and only cares about money. She requested pictures of my…read moremessed up hair, which was not done ombré and cut too short, but then after she saw how much the my hair was messed up proceeded to just ask me to come in. When I told her I do not want to come back in, especially since another hair stylist told me how unblended my hair was, she was just rude and continuously said "come in". The coloring was only supposed to be at the bottom of my hair, but it covered my whole head of hair. I stated I did not want the dye near my roots, due to not wanting to mess up the natural red hair I have, the dye went all the way up. Some streaks darker than others, was supposed to be a dark red but came out a dark brown, and the hair is shorter in the back than it is in the front.

I seriously cannot recommend Your Favorite Salon enough. They squeezed me in last minute before my…read morecervical disc replacement surgery, and I was honestly stressing about not wanting to look like a complete hot mess going into such a major procedure. Jaime absolutely came through. Not only does he clearly know exactly what he's doing, but his personality made the whole experience even better. I left feeling so much more confident and genuinely excited for my next appointment already.The salon itself is super cute, welcoming, and easy to get to with simple parking (which honestly matters more than people think). I used to see them back when I lived in Orlando, and even after moving to Daytona Beach, they still accommodated me and remembered everything. That level of care means so much. Amanda, the owner, is an absolute badass, and every stylist I've seen there has crushed it, but Jaime really knocked it out of the park for me this time. You can tell this salon genuinely cares about their clients and the experience they create. So thankful for them.

5 Stars for my hair goddess, Megan Essig, who will make your hair color dreams come true…read more I've been seeing Megan for my color for years and have never strayed (despite a lockdown, her moving away several times, etc.). When she moved to SLC a couple of years ago, I would see her every few months when she was back home. Now that she's moved back to Orlando, she can never get rid of me! I've had some terrible color experiences in the past. Think orange/coppery blotchy color. Ever since Megan has been doing my hair I have gotten so many compliments and random strangers asking for my colorist's contact info. A few things to note: Color that looks this natural and flawless takes time. Expect to be at the salon for a couple of hours, but fret not, Megan is a great hang! She's traveled the world and lived everywhere, so don't be shy about your own travels and places you'd like to visit, because my girl has got recommendations! I can't recommend this sweet soul's work enough. She's an artist and will not lead you astray (or let you lead yourself astray with requests for color that won't suite you). Pro-tips: 1- Get yourself a drink from downstairs (the Hammered Lamb). 2- Make your next appointment at the end of your last one so you don't miss a refresh!

BOOK WITH HARMONY!!!! SERIOUSLY, DO IT!!…read more From the moment I walked into the salon, I could sense Harmony's passion and dedication to her craft. What truly impressed me was her attention to detail - each strand was delicately painted to protect my hair and prevent an overlap. (Blondies- she knows what BLONDE means and you do not leave brassy or orange) She patiently answered all my questions, alleviated any concerns I had, and ensured that I felt comfortable and confident with each step she took. If you are an extension girly....I have had extensions for many years and I do not say this lightly..with so many reputable stylists that overcharge and underdeliver Harmony is true gem in the world!! She is genuine, committed to her clients' satisfaction and she exceeded all my expectations! I can't recommend her enough. She has gained a client for life!
