    Meiling is super informative and really knows the science behind coloring hair. I've had a rough time with finding the perfect stylist for myself. I'm super happy I found her and will be returning! P.S I have dark, thick, asian hair and she did this.

    Grey highlights
    Joni L.

    After being told by multiple stylist that integrating grey into my black-with-significant-grey roots (thanks 3 month Covid salon closures!) wasn't possible, Mei worked her magic and made it a reality! She under promised and completely over delivered. She and her lovely assistant spent 4.5 grueling hours of non-stop activity and attention to give me highlights that exceeded my every expectation. So happy and looking forward to my next visit. I highly recommend Mei! She will makes sure you look fabulous and leave happy!

    & this was my transformation

    Let me tell you, Mei-ling is a hair artist! I've been wanting to get an ashy-grey in my "Asian" hair and she was able to deliver on so many levels! I've gotten so many compliments on my hair & it makes me feel confident & beautiful. I am so glad my friend told me about Mei-ling! Definitely give her a try because you won't regret & she's worth it! pictures below ‍

    Mei-Ling is AMAZING!!! I cant express how happy I am to have found her. She brought my hair back to life. Im so thankful she could squeeze me in, to see her. I would not go elsewhere when it comes to highlighting and bleaching my hair. She is friendly, her salon is so cute and stylish. I highly recommend her. I got full highlights and my hair still looks healthy. not to mention she works fast. Will be coming back! Thank you so much Mei-Ling!

    My crazy mop......

    Mei-ling did an amazing job with transforming my hair!! 10+ Stars. If your Asian or any other race that has issues with bright orange brassy hair when bleached..... you need to stop all that drama and call Mei-ling! She is very good at what she does and she is booked to the max. Be patient and wait to get in her chair! Thank me later.

    By far the best hairstylist in Tampa Bay! I went from unstyled to Gorgeous in a couple of hours. The salon is pretty clean and smells fresh and Meiling is very nice and friendly. I absolutely recommend it.

    Before

    Meiling is a seriously talented colorist! She has given me some of the best color I've ever had and I've been coloring my hair for over 20 years. She takes her time and being in her chair is such a peaceful experience. It's not a loud crowded salon with 10 chairs where your stylist is trying to work on 3 clients at the same time (I've had that experience before). She uses Olaplex which really helps with the health of your hair. Worth every penny!

    My before & after!
    Jessica K.

    I got my hair done for the first time with Meiling and she is amazing! Not only did she make me feel comfortable, but she also took care of my hair as if it was her own. I don't think I have ever met a stylist who takes her time with you like she does. She highlights your hair with care and does not rush like most stylists make you feel when you're there! She really cares for her clients & she also fixes any problem you may have. I had bleached my own hair at home during quarantine & as you can see in the picture she fixed it right up! I'm so lucky to have found her!!! And just as a tip, she is extremely busy, and for good reason. A lot of people want to sit in her chair. If you aren't able to get the first date you want you need to try again and get another date & be grateful! Best to all of you! she is so worth it!!!!

    Dark gone blonde.. no orange:)))
    Krys H.

    I have dark almost black hair and I've been wanting to go light/blonde for years now. I was always concerned about frying and being orange.. I finally grew some, and needless to say I'm so happy I found Mei-ling. She is extremely knowledgeable about hair integrity and and addressed all my concerns. She used Olaplex and provided product directions for after care. My hair is still healthy and shiny, and I'm blonde! Mei-ling is a star!

    Tammy N.

    Mei-ling is amazing! This is one of the best experiences I've had with coloring my hair. She's thorough, professional and personable. She takes her time to explain the process and what she's doing. Pretreated Asian hair can be difficult to work with but my balayage turned out even better than I imagined it. I drove 2 hours to see her and it was definitely worth the drive and money. Definitely recommend!

I didn't know what I was communicating (tip: research blowout language before you get there! They don't have look books) and Sandy was extremely patient and non-judgmental. She could tell that I wasn't happy when we got started, and because she had time available, she made sure I left with exactly what I wanted. Day (I imagine I'm not spelling that correctly), my make up artist, was also extremely patient and did AMAZING work. I strongly recommend getting your hair and make up done for any kind of event you have coming up.

    I have been meaning to visit Bubbles & Blowouts sooner, but I rarely get dressed up since "date…read morenight" is usually Netflix and take-out. Other than highlights and a haircut every 7-8 weeks I do not indulge in any salon services so it was such a treat to have my hair washed and styled by someone else. I love that Bubbles & Blowouts offers a childcare area if I cannot get my husband to watch our toddlers. After an exhausting Thanksgiving I decided that I could use a little pampering and treated myself to a blowout before our family Christmas pictures. I had heard great things about Bubbles & Blowouts from the Moms of South Tampa so I checked out the website and to see their hours and discovered I could book an appointment online. I really liked that I could book an appointment online instead of calling because I rarely get a minute to pick up the phone with my clingy one year old. Not only was I able to book my reservation quickly and quietly after I put my toddlers to bed, but I was also able to score a morning appointment before nap time! The location on South Dale Mabry is super convenient to my house and there was plenty of parking spots available. Loved the fun and modern decor and music. Did I mention the awesome childcare area?! The owner obviously gets that busy moms want to get pampered, but do not always have access to a babysitter. My stylist Dali was so sweet and friendly and did an amazing job with my hair! I decided to pay a little extra and added beach waves to my blowout. The result was so pretty and she added enough hairspray so that my hair still looked fabulous five hours later at our photoshoot!

I left the salon with too much product weighing down my hair, no volume and half curled hair. It was so bad it was laughable. I initially told my stylist that I have trouble holding volume in my hair and would most likely need rollers. She seemed to struggle with my hair (lots of hair but fine so it gets weighed down) and added too much product making it fall even more. Overall she was blowing out my hair for a while then left the rollers in for a short period that definitely wasn't long enough to impart volume. This was all followed up by using a curling iron on a few pieces of hair. I felt like a more seasoned hair stylist may have approached the task with a different technique and didn't feel confident in the stylists ability. This is in no means a reflection on the salons customer service as everyone was very nice. Would not come back and regret spending the money on this service.

I booked an appointment to…read moreget my roots done and was genuinely looking forward to having a little time to myself as a busy mom of two. When I arrived, I had my two-year-old with me in a stroller. She was calm, quiet, and watching a movie completely unbothering anyone. The salon itself was nearly empty, with only one other client present. Instead of being welcomed, I was immediately met with a very cold and judgmental attitude from the front desk. I was looked up and down, along with my stroller, and told in a very rude and inflexible manner that children were not allowed and that I would either need to leave or reschedule. As a mother, it is not always easy to find time for self-care, and I made the effort to come in for this appointment. The lack of empathy or basic courtesy was honestly shocking. There was zero attempt to accommodate, problem-solve, or even speak kindly. To make matters worse, I was charged $75 (50% of the service) simply for having to leave despite the fact that the situation could have been handled with basic human decency and flexibility. I do want to note that Desi, the hairstylist, did try to be kind while witnessing the way I was being treated, and I appreciate that. I understand this situation was not her fault. However, the overall customer service and experience are a direct reflection of the business she represents. This was the first time I've ever experienced something like this at a salon. I left feeling embarrassed, dismissed, and frankly, discriminated against for being a mother. I will not be returning, and I would not recommend this salon especially to other moms. There are plenty of places that treat clients with respect, kindness, and understanding. This was not one of them.
