Went to her once and never again. I had a relaxer with new growth so I needed a retouch. She proceeded to put relaxer on my entire head. After my hair was overprocessed, she chopped it and said she couldn't tell which was relaxed and which was new growth. Wish she said that BEFORE. My hair was down my back before the chop and was only to my shoulders and breaking when I left. Never again! I do not reccommend. Edit: Definitely not a fake review. Those that do post reviews probably wouldn't take the time to respond. You probably don't remember me because I never went back. Once was enough for me. You can call this a fake review if it makes you feel better but I sincerely hope you have learned how to do hair properly since then. read more

I originally scheduled for a Sunday, but had to reschedule because nobody knew about my appointment and the place was closed.(I scheduled through their app). I called Melanee and she apologized and offered a reschedule and a discounted rate. When I got there on the rescheduled date, I had to wait for her and she ultimately never arrived due to something else coming up, which was never communicated. But Xochi took over did a great job, she was very friendly. Aside from the scheduling headache, Xochi did a very good silk press!! read more

Melanee's Hair Studio - Hair Salons Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I came in for coloring and Carmen took GREAT CARE OF ME!! She did exactly what I needed!! i'm still getting compliments on my hair! I received a warm welcome upon my arrival, and got right in the chair! This salon is so clean and beautiful and the decor is so elegant. It definitely has an inviting vibe. Other clients arrived for the different stylists, and I noticed how warmly they were all greeted as well. I think I'll get BRAIDS there next. There was a girl in there getting BRAIDS and it looked amazing! read more

So my first experience with this salon wasn't great but I decided to give them another chance 1 year later. At both appointments I had to wait for the stylist to arrive. Not for a stylist to finish with another client but to arrive. The second time I called the salon because the service I wanted was not on their site as to get a text confirmation since I called the salon. . . . Look I've given this place way too many chances. Good luck to you should you choose to get serviced here read more

so I just moved to the area, I was in desperate need of finding a new hair dresser. I spent two weeks doing research and came across this salon. Best decision I ever made was calling Melanee. She fit me into her schedule the same day that I called, she took her time doing my hair, she's so precise, and makes sure you like what she's doing during the process. Very professional and friendly, great conversation, great vibes, and just overall amazing. I will most definitely be coming back every time read more

I went to Melanee's because I had gone to this salon several years ago and I was always happy with the work. I just moved back to Tampa from California and needed to get a sew in installed. I quite literally look like a blockhead. I paid $200 for my hair to come out lopsided. You can clearly see see how raised it is. It makes me look like I have a big forehead. When I contacted another stylist to fix it and sent her a picture of my hair she told me that it looked like a 5th grader did it. I just got my hair done today and I immediately had to put on a hat. The braids are huge and the stylist that will be fixing me tomorrow told me that they should have been much smaller so I didn't look like I have two huge bumps on the top of my head. If you want to leave the salon crying go to Sandra. read more

The owner acts like she is nice, but service was lacking and I did not like some of the owner's comments or the treatment I received. It's not right to increase the price as much as she did on me and at the end of my service at that. I shouldn't have paid. I went a couple of times and I was burnt repeatedly by a stylist and she did not apologize at all. It was a while ago, but both times I went there was 1 stylist to choose from and they were two different people. I wish I had the first. If they have the same keratin products I wouldn't waste my money on it. I would not recommend this place. read more

Brought my daughter here last summer to get her hair dyed and had no issues. We came back this summer so she decides to use her again. Big Mistake. My daughter showed her a picture of the color she wanted. She handed my daughter a book of hair color swatches and asks her to choose a color. There's nothing there exact, and my daughter said she remembered her from last summer so she told her "similar to that but lighter". My daughter wanted a "ginger" look. Long story short, she bleached her hair (without asking/telling her), left to go get "something from the beauty supply" for an hour, dyed the hair some Burgundy-red-purple color, and then wouldn't fix it. Mind you, I told her immediately because my daughter is young and timid and doesn't know how to stand up for herself yet. She then proceeded to tell me this is the color she chose...and these two women in the shop can vouch for her...blah blah. I showed her the pic again. These colors are no where near each other. She offered to try to darken it but we had plans already..mind you it had already been four hours. We set an appointment for 2 days later. She also said it would look better when it dried. The next day it didn't. We sent her a message saying it isn't better and to just refund the money. Then we tried another salon to get it fixed. They wouldn't touch it. So we text her again asking if she could fix it at the scheduled time we had. She then goes on to say she stands by her work...already offered the refund and basically ghosted my daughter. We tried to fix it ourselves and it was a disaster. Finally found a salon on IG that fixed it. Do Not Go Here For Color Services! I'll attach the pic that was shown to her...the pic of what she did, and the disaster of us trying to strip that color out. read more

I was appreciative that I was accommodated on short notice. I'm new to the area and did not have a stylist. However, I will not return and should have reacted to my first instinct and left within first five minutes of arriving even while the relaxer was being applied. From the moment Ms. S started to when I left, she coughed non stopped! Even though she was masked, she should not have been working! she made no attempt to turn away but continuously coughed towards me, over me, in front of me , behind me.....for2.5 hours. I have never been more uncomfortable in a salon. She was clearly ill and allowing her to serve clients should never have occurred, not in this environment, not ever. And now, I am sick also! No need to even speak about the quality of the hair service and frankly I don't have the energy. read more

Good work but wishy washy on prices she loves to change the price one day it's 120 for a wash and silk press another it's 150 I always tipped my stylist $20 no matter what I get done but my god 170 total for a silk press insane. I used to have starter locs and the lady who did my re twist was really nice but the parts weren't very clean and I now know everything about her divorce I'm a teenager and a lot of what she was saying was pretty heavy stuff. read more

I brought my daughter here for her very first haircut. I was a little concerned because her hair was nappy and I didn't know how she would respond. Melaneewent above and beyond to entertain my toddler. And she did a great job cutting her hair. I will definitely come back here. Melanie is also a very sweet and caring woman. read more

Thank you Melanee for your great service and how you were so accommodating even on your birthday. I had a great experience. Enjoy your birthday and thanks again read more

Came in without an appointment late Saturday evening and to my suprise I was greeted upon walking in and led right to a chair! Now that's huge if ur like me and don't enjoy spending ur saturdays at the salon. I highly value healthy hair and Melanee did my hair beyond what i expected and was very personable, friendly, and informative about hair care and recommended products. I really just came in to get my ends clipped but got it flat ironed as well. I will be back for the Tuesday deep condition special! I've found me my new salon! read more

Got my hair cornrowed by Sasha & I couldn't be happier with my entire experience. I will definitely be back in the future.

I went to get a relaxer for my hair and my results were absolutely amazing. Melanee did a great job of relaxing, washing, and styling my hair, and is so sweet! The atmosphere around the shop is really nice and comfortable, almost seeming like I've been there one-hundred times. I definitely recommend! read more

I hate doing my hair, but I haven't been to a salon in years. I set up an appointment at Melanee's and when I got there, a girl I know from school was a stylist. Anya helped me find the right style, and was very professional. Going back again this week. read more
