Stylist did a GREAT job!! But beware of the receptionist when calling or booking. Super unprofessional and rude. Gave me attitude when I didn't bring cash for a tip when every hair salon ever allows added on gratuity to the total. Just a really miserable person on the phone too. Certainly not the way to lure in new clients to book when that's the response. 5 stars is for the stylist!! Thanks!! read more

Very unprofessional. Sets appointments, doesn't keep them. Wasted my time today and they couldn't care less. Terrible terrible terrible.

1. love the salon: smelled AMAZING the second you walk in. They have a ton of aveda samples and testers and products in the bathroom. One of the stylists had a sweet old dog that hung out with us (very well trained too). Complimentary coffee/tea/snacks and tons of places to relax and watch tv (and they have a lot of channels). 2. My stylist: April. she was phenomenal. i got highlights in my hair and they looked exactly how i wanted. She was very nice and took her time to ensure the finished product was perfect. 100% will be back and will tell my friends to go there. read more

I went to Piccolo for the first time yesterday and saw Amanda for a cut. I have pretty thick hair and I wanted a shoulder length cut with layers throughout (pretty standard). I typically have very good experiences in Aveda salons which is why I made an appointment here. I've been to 4 Aveda salons across 4 different cities, including this one in the last couple of years. I have never had a problem getting a haircut because the stylists there are usually experienced with different types of hair. Yesterday, was a bit different. I walked out of the salon fairly happy with my cut. There were a few signs she wasn't familiar with working with such thick hair but I ignored them because my hair looked okay. I paid my $57 (they don't allow tipping) and went on with my day. I woke up this morning to discover that the side part I typically wear had become more of a middle part and my hair is completely uneven. I have a huge chunk of hair that has made its way over to the other side that is a good inch longer than everything else. This has never happened to me in my almost 10 years of visiting Aveda salons and I'm pretty disappointed. Though Amanda was very nice and the salon was beautifully decorated (hence the 2 star rating), I'm a little annoyed that I paid $57 for a relatively bad haircut. read more

Got a haircut and an eyebrow wax today, loved the relaxing and welcoming environment!

I went to a salon based on a recommendation and my hair ended up being a complete disaster. I called Piccolo Aveda salon in a panic for a color correction after finding them online. The receptionist was not sure if she would be able to accommodate me for that same day as they were closing soon and didn't know how much time it would take to fix the damage that had been done. She took down my info and called me back within 10 minutes with the fortunate news that Michael, my awesome stylist would be able to get me in for that next morning. The whole staff was so welcoming and immediately took care of me from the minute I walked in the door. Conversation was friendly, sweet, and enjoyable during my services, not only with the staff, but with their clients as well! Michael did an amazing job with my hair. My highlights came out well blended and natural, and the shade was just right (even better than I could ever have imagined). Cut was perfect and exactly what I wanted. I left looking better than ever without ANY trace of the crazy color/cut mishap I walked in with. I'm so happy I found a place I can trust. I highly recommend coming here :) read more

If I could give a negative review for the owner Lisa, I would as one star is generous. To be clear my review is for her and not for the other stylists at this location. I had been going to this salon for years seeing another stylist, but who recently left the salon, so I made an appointment with Lisa. At first she was pleasant, but quickly it became apparent to me that she would do what she wanted to do and didn't appreciate any questions. First, she cut my hair dry, which I've never had done at the beginning of the appointment. Usually that is done at the end to ensure everything is tidy. When I asked if that was how she was going to do the whole cut she responded with yes, it's easier than cutting it dry because the hair flops arounds. Well, I think she noticed that my demeanor changed and she took me to wash my hair and then finish the cut. When we got back to the chair, she asked how I liked it before the wash, and I told her honestly, that I did not like what she did to the ends as they looked very jagged. She responded saying that they were not jagged and that is what beveling looks like and that she couldn't figure out how to describe beveling in simple terms for my small brain to understand. She had cut almost like triangles all around my hair, it was not good. I told her I just wanted her to clean the edges and make it all one length. Here's then next problem. With long hair, stylists typically cut in sections at a time, cut straight across, then drop the next section, cut to the previous length and so on. Then they come in front and pull sections down to ensure they are even in the front. Lisa did none of that, my hair was never section, never checked to make sure it was even and only cut the ends where the stylist flips it up to give it texture at the bottom. By this point, I just want to get out with some length to my hair so I can go somewhere else to have it fixed. I asked her to just make sure it was even, to which she responded of course it is, if its uneven its because of the beveling which is done for layers. I never wanted layers, just an even cut. But, if I argued more, I probably would have lost my cool. Now we are on to drying my hair, she used no product, and quite frankly I'm not sure how she managed it but my hair looked like straw after she was done. She even tried to curl my hair to hide the uneven lengths. Again, I want to re-iterate that I just wanted to leave at this point with some length and that I did not trust her to listen to what I wanted or to fix the horror of what she did to me. Later that day, I went to another salon explained what happened, they took a look at what Lisa had done, and said that it was indeed an awful haircut and that Lisa had just been lazy. It took cutting another 3-4 inches off in order to fix the damage that Lisa had done. But I like the haircut now and it is what I was looking for, so it did work out in the end. read more

I am not one to write reviews, but after spending 2.5 hours at another salon today fixing what Piccolo did to my hair a few months ago, I felt compelled to speak out. Initially I was drawn to Piccolo because it had great reviews, an Aveda salon, gorgeous salon, great customer service and was convenient for me. I have only ever gone to Aveda salons so I needed to find a new salon when I moved down here in July. The first thing I noticed about the salon was when I called to book my appointment that they did not ask me who I wanted to style my hair nor told me who I would be seeing for my appointment. I turned a blind eye and gave them the benefit of the doubt, but this was a terrible mistake on my part. When I got to my appointment, the owner greeted me and gave me a tour of the salon. They even had a snack bar!!! I will say this drew me in and I was instantly hooked...but all the glitter quickly faded when I met my stylist. I will not disclose whIch stylist it was, out of respect for her, but her personality quickly drained me. I have had wonderful and very personable stylists and she was nothing but bland. The whole 2 hours was very awkward as she didn't even try to hold onto a conversation. Also, she told me to call my old salon to ask for the formula numbers that they previously used on my hair. I have never ever been asked to call another salon to ask for a formula number. I felt that this was just the stylist being lazy and didn't care to put work into my hair. I would have been much happier to see if she would even offer calling if she couldn't figure out the color formula by looking at my hair. This whole thing quickly explained itself when my stylist told me they were not strictly Aveda...Yeap I fell for a trap, no wonder she didn't know my hair formula. Although it seemed that she did end up doing a great job on my color, i noticed a week later that it was splotchy and didn't blend well, it looked like something an amateur would do and not a professional stylist who admires and strives to live up to the Aveda brand. Lastly, my hair cut was beyond terrible as it was not even on either side and the back of my hair was a hot mess. Needless to say I am extremely dissapointed in my service. And to point out, I had about 3 different people working on my hair during my appointment, which is something I am not used to nor appreciate. The salon has a no tip policy, which I think is why I did not get the best service. Maybe I just had a bad experience, but if you want to try a wonderful salon that is strictly Aveda, check out Lordis Loft!!!! They will have you glowing! read more

Their team is positive and outgoing from the sweet receptionist to all of the hair designers! Each one greeted me with a smile and made me feel like a Queen! read more

I liked the space and quiet/calm atmosphere. I got service from Tara. Everyone was friendly. The first couple times it turned out good and last time the roots were sightly off. There was a misunderstanding when I booked. I showed up Saturday around 1 thinking I could get hi lites and was told there isn't time and I could only get roots and a haircut. I think it's strange a hair salon closes on Saturday at 2 pm. Shows lack of ambition/growth. My hair turned out so so even though I just got roots. Tara offered to fix it in a week for free if I wasn't happy. But I wasn't going to come back in a week because being a mom, it's hard to find the time. Plus I got a call a few days later that Tara was no longer with the salon and would I like to reschedule with someone else? I said no thank you, I will not be returning. I wonder what happened with Tara leaving so suddenly. Will try out a trendier salon in downtown Charleston . read more

My first experience at piccolo was about a year and half ago. I thought after watching YouTube that I could balayage my own hair needless to say I really messed it up. I was new to the area and took a chance... I'm very picky with hairdressers. I saw Amanda she did a phenomenal job !!! I've been going to her ever since. She listens to what you want and so sweet. Every time I go everyone is so welcoming!! When the receptionist remembers your name that's amazing customer service.. they make you feel like family. read more

Alecia at Piccolo rescued me from a recent hair disaster and I now have a great cut as a result. They got me in the same day, have awesome perks (aromatherapy scalp massage!), and filled me in on Charleston since I just moved here. It was a very nice experience, plus they have all the Aveda products a girl could dream of but didn't push it on me! Will be back! read more

Lisa cut my hair, and it is fabulous! I went to her, based on what a friends hair looked like and I was not disappointed. Loved the scalp massage - love that she didn't push product on me. Will DEFINITELY be back. Reasonable prices. read more
