I have been going to Derek for a few years now and I don't want anyone else touching my hair. Derek has always made my hair look like beautiful natural golden silk with a sexy cut. My friend recently asked if she could do my hair for her Instagram to promote her business. Don't do that. I agreed and left with brassy reddish blonde hair with a basic cut. This was devastating to me since I had always taken so much pride in my long beautiful blonde locks. I walked into The Mint to ask Derek to please fix my hair and work his magic. He squeezed me in that week and transformed my hair back to fabulous! Moral of the story is if it's not broke don't fix it and if it is broke go to Derek. He'll fix it. Hi highly recommend him especially to all of the blondes. The guy knows what his doing not to mention hilarious! read more

I LOVE Mint! I have been going to Liz for 20 years and she always has my back! It's like a vacation when I sit in that chair and relax. I always leave refreshed and more confident with a hairstyle I love and that's easy to manage on my own. Definitely worth a visit! read more

Very dissatisfied with the service of this business. I had an appointment with a stylist that was booked a week in advance. The day of my appointment I checked in with the stylist less than an hour before my appointment via text message to make sure she was running on time and she responded with I was going to text you but I'm sick can we reschedule. When I asked if there was another stylist she mentioned she would try. I called the salon and when she responded with we are waiting to hear back from other stylists I asked if they could at least squeeze me in for a blow out since I had already left the house. The individual who answered the phone was very rude and when I politely responded with that's okay I can just check to see if somewhere else could fit me in she hung up on me. I will not be returning and will definitely share this experience with my friends. read more

Ok so this is probably the worst hair experience ever. It looks like you might get a decent haircut but not so much. Very high priced and it looks like a five year old could have done better. I literally had to have my hair recut because it was so noticeably uneven. You could get a better cut at Supercuts. High prices and no talent. Don't waste your money. read more

Very disappointed with Eric. I purchased a Groupon for color and style. The color was too dark and wait for it....he did not even dry my hair!! Supposedly a nice salon and no styling?!! I walked out in utter shock. Reason given was that I requested (the day before the appointment), to come in 30 minutes later and he said it was fine. Then his excuse for not finishing my hair was that I came late and he had another client coming so out I went with a wet head of hair! Had to cancel my lunch appointment! Guess I won't be going back to Mint every again. read more

I came here one time for a blow out and had Derek! He is an amazing guy and I came back recently to get my roots touched up. He did a phenomenal job! I highly recommend him for blondes. He softened my blonde color, toned it, touched up the roots, and added dimension to my harsh blonde color. When I saw Derek for my blow out he was like wow I could totally fix your hair and make it look way sexier. So I went back and he definitely knew what he was doing! Derek is great and fun to talk to. For all my fellow blondes, go see Derek!! His prices are SO reasonable and he genuinely will make sure you are happy with your visit. read more

I have been a client at Mint for quite some time. It's clean, the staff is friendly, it's conveniently located, and I always like their music selection. Of course, most of all, I love my stylist Ellie, she's the best! read more

Julissa has been my colorist for the past 8 years, and I have to say that she is amazing and has a keen eye for color. She always gets it right, which has been hard for me in the past as I have very dark hair naturally, and prefer it much lighter. She is also a true delight to be around. Highly recommend the entire salon, but especially Julissa. read more

Hi! I just moved to the Tampa area. I had asked around for good hair stylist suggestions (it's always scary getting your hair cut by someone new). I was told that Stewart at the Mint Hair Lounge was amazing. I took my friend's advice and went to try her out. I ended up with the best hair cut of my life. Stewart did an incredible job, she was very focused on her work and had great attention to detail. She suggested that I try a longer bang because I wanted a more "sexy" look. I am loving it! (So is my husband by the way) Thanks so much, Stewart!! I'm so happy I found my new stylist in Tampa :) read more

After having my hair ruined by Stylist Amy, i heard back from the owner and she was nice and apologetic about the whole situation and had one of her master Colorists Julissa fix my hair and I am happy with the results for a color correction. Julissa was really nice and did an amazing job at fixing my hair and getting it it to look nice considering what she had to work with. I will be giving this place another go and having Julissa work on my hair again in 6 wks and see where it goes from there. Yes I am still a bit traumatized by the whole situation but I won't blame the entire business and staff because of 1 horrible stylist. read more

Eric, I have a tip for you.....PLEASE next time a potential client walks in the door, treat them like you appreciate them whether it's a blow dry or highlight it shouldn't matter it sounds like your personal business is more important than your business that puts money in your pocket besides that I was very dissatisfied with what I asked for and then you asked me if I wanted to include a tip on the bill yeah here's your tip. One to grow on..... ciao read more

JASON PRITCHARD IS THE BEST HAIRSTYLIST I HAVE EVER BEEN TO!! And trust me, I've been around. He perfects my color and I am the pickiest person EVER, especially when it comes to my highlights/ombré/balayage. read more

I am not sure why the review I wrote earlier this week hasn't shown up so I am writing again. I dropped off a check with my daughter Tuesday for her stylist. Waited at the desk then without getting assistance I motioned to a person that I was leaving the ($300) check on the desk. I leaned over and placed it on top. It was out of sight to a non-employee unless you leaned over. Unbelievabl y, I am told it is missing, I need to write another check, and it is $36 to cancel the check. No concern that there might be a petty thief. No cameras apparently when I asked. This is very disconcerting to me. read more

Stay very far away and go elsewhere! Everything here was horrendous. The quote, the service, the owners... everything. Short version (details below): horrendously rude owners, overpriced, below average cut, and horrendous dye job - not just in color but got dye on my face and on my dress! I was wearing the cape, it splashed to around my knees. Much like Karla D said in her 5/6/2014 review, Amy screwed up my hair (thank god my usual salon fixed it up and now it looks gorgeous). The only difference is that the owners apparently did a 180 and forgot what customer service and respect is. Before going I asked how much it would be for a partial foil, all over color and a cut. I was quoted $150 after asking for those specific services. The stylist apparently forgot I asked for all over color when quoting me. I went here instead of my normal salon because I thought it would be cheaper. The stylist did a good job on the all over color but did a horrendous job on the highlights. I asked for them to be a color slightly darker than beach sand and showed numerous photos. The first time they came out an ashy platinum blonde with green undertones. I told her that wasn't what I asked for at all. She retoned them to be a golden, yet still ashy and green blonde. The highlights were uneven and chunky. Blonde should never have greenish tones! Even when I went back to my normal salon the stylist had no idea what was done to make them look this bad. I was told it was due to my current hair color and lifting. It obviously wasn't because my usual salon re lifted my hair and gave me gorgeous highlights with the tone I asked for. Further, the stylist gave me a quarter foil instead of a partial foil without even telling me and didn't even concede to it until I questioned her multiple times! A partial foil is clearly not highlights just around the part. When doing the foils, she piled the dyed hair on top of the foils with dye blobs on them. Every other time she did it would fall into my face and I'd get blobs of dye in my face. It'd splash on my arms and it splashed on my dress, despite the fact I was wearing the cape! I've had my hair dyed consistently multiple times and I've never had this sloppy of an experience. Since the dye took so long and she felt the pressure of her next client coming in, she did the cut very quickly. The layers were not done as nicely as they have been by any other stylist I've been to (not even just my regular salon). I felt like I got a rushed haircut at great clips. She asked if it was okay if she didn't do a blow dry and that it'd save me about $30. I said that was okay. At this point I was figuring it'd be about $120 since it was a quarter foil instead of a partial and no blow dry. The stylist said it'd be around $170! I was in complete shock that she was going to charge me $20 more than the quote for doing a shoddy job that included less highlights and no blow dry! After arguing with her and getting nowhere, the owners intervened and she went to her next client. The owners were the most rude people I have encountered in a long time. Instead of talking to me about the problem, asking what could be done to fix it, or handling it like any professional person would, they first opened with "if you don't pay we're going to have a problem". I never said at any point in the argument I wouldn't pay. I was disputing the price. When I told them that I was given an improper quote and that less services were rendered than were even included in the quote they kept arguing with me, berating me and being incredibly rude. They asked how much I wanted to pay. I said $125 as a compromise, despite the fact that I thought that even was overpriced given the shoddy job done. They very angrily agreed, slapped the receipt at me, told me that I'd "never be happy anywhere" & said "maybe you should try Fantastic Sams next time". I gave a $5 tip just so there'd be something for her & because she wasn't rude (just flustered) unlike the two owners. I tip well if someone does their job well, I don't hand out money just because someone did their job, especially if it's horrendous service. Upon seeing that I only tipped $5 they got snarky and commented that "I must never have been in the service industry". Shows how much they know. I have and I have never been so rude to anyone. read more

Hands down best hair salon in Tampa. From the moment you walk in to the moment you leave you will not be disappointed, the business quality is outstanding and they make sure you leave with a smile on your face. Julissa has been my hair dresser for 10+ years and believe me when I say she does a phenomenal job, has over 20 years of experience, and a wonderful sense of humor. Go check her out, you will not regret it! read more
