I have been on the hunt for my person to take care of my hair. I moved to St Pete almost 5 years ago and I finally found her, Anna-Rose. The salon came recommended by another curly haired curl I met back in February. I found Anna-Rose and watched her work on instagram. Took me 5 months to finally feel comfortable trusting someone new. I liked her work and her passion for her skill and work. I met with Anna-Rose on 7/8/2023 for a consultation. She was so friendly, down to earth, and real. She made me feel comfortable. We talked about my past hair cut bad experiences and what I wanted. I showed her some pictures and she showed me some. We figured out what I wanted and I booked for 7/15/2023. We talked again the day of about what I wanted and she got to work. She was gentle and talked me through what she was doing. I wanted a trim, a soft u-shape cut, with slight face framing pieces. She brought my curls and hair back to life. I was so happy with the process and end result! Thank you so much! The salon was also fantastic. The vibes inside were friendly and family like. Everyone was chatting, sipping coffee and water, and comfortable. Have not experienced this before and it was great! They also offer waxing and manicures and pedicures. Will definitely be back and would definitely recommend! read more

This was the worst haircut I have ever received. My appointment was scheduled for 2pm. I got there early and sat down since no one was at the front desk. A few minutes later I checked in and sat back down. At 2:20pm, I asked if it was going to be much longer. Kenna finally came to get me. Kenna is a nice person, but I did not get what I asked for. Three times she said, "i guess it would help if I put my listening ears on.". My hair was ruined, frizzy and loaded with product. Kenna suggested washing it and cutting again. I did not get out of the salon until 7:08pm. My hair is still not right and I'm not just annoyed, I'm furious. I am a single mom of a college student and thought about getting a curly hair cut for 2 years and finally made the appointment for myself. What a complete waste of money and almost 5 hours of my life. Absolute disappointment. read more

Celia (owner) took her time with me listened to my concerns/wants (highlights) and my hair came out just the way I wanted it! My 1rst time there and I have found my forever salon and hair stylist! The salon is so comfy and the employees are nice and accommodating. They also do mani/pedi and permanent brows , lips, eyeliner by a very skilled woman Amy joy. read more

When I was looking to switch hairdressers, my daughter suggested Kenna. Actually, she insisted. She has been going to see Kenna for years and swore I would love my cut and style if I gave her a try. Boy was she right! Not only did Kenna do a PHENOMENAL job, she made me feel comfortable and listened to what I wanted my hair to look and feel like. The salon was comfortable and clean, the products used were top notch, and Kenna was warm, professional, and on top of her game. Don't tell her I said so but my daughter was right. I will happily drive an hour a half to see Kenna again and again. Give this place and Kenna a shot - you won't regret it! read more

I LOVE this place! Celia has been styling my hair for years and she is the BEST! She is very creative, professional, and she listens-and has great suggestions to make my hair healthy and beautiful! I'm always happy with the services and all the ladies there-Kenna, Anna-Rose, Kelsea, Gail -and many others contribute to a vibe that makes me feel welcome and I always enjoy the positive energy and overall salon experience! read more

I knew I wanted to come back in order to change up my hair now that FL is finally going into fall weather . I could NOT be happier that I decided to come back here. My stylist was Kenna and she did an amazing job getting me exactly what I wanted for my balayage. She listened to my needs and showed me what she was planning on doing. It made me feel comfortable and that I could trust her judgement. I wasn't let down! I was with her for probably over 6 hours and the time just flew. Easy to talk to and has so much knowledge! Everyone there has a way of making you feel welcome and part of the family. Can't wait to go for my next haircut . Thank you again! read more

I had an amazing Ouidad curly cut experience with the brilliant Kenna. The products she used were great and she took her time to tell me how she was cutting my hair and why she was cutting it that way. We went over my needs in the beginning of the appointment, and by the end, I'd say she fulfilled all of them! I highly recommend this salon, as everyone was kind and professional. read more

Lovely and quirky little salon! The staff was very friendly and there was a nice and relaxed vibe throughout. Reasonable priced. I didn't realize when I booked my appointment, but they specialize in curly hair. I have very straight hair, so this concerned me a tad, but all's well that ends well. The haircut I received was very well done. She both wet and dry cut my hair and spent a long time making sure it was perfect. Definitely worth the price tag. read more

Traveling from out of state, I was a bit hesitant to trust myself to people I didn't know and might not ever meet again. However, upon finding that Celia was Ouidad trained, I made an appointment. From the time I arrived, I was treated with a wonderful combination of friendliness and professionalism. In addition to a Ouidad cut from Celia, I had also booked an appointment with Amy Joy for semi-permanent makeup to enhance my eyebrows. She took so much time to explain my options, took time to measure and double check, and took extra time to make sure that the results measured up to her standards. Finding out that she is also an artist boosted my trust in her even more,as she has a good eye for balance, color, etc. I actually have eyebrows a After my brows were applied, Celia cut my hair. Like Amy, she took time to listen to my concerns and thoughts prior to beginning the cut. She took her time, and I came away not only with a great haircut, but also some styling tips to help me recreate the look. I highly recommend this salon, and in particular, Amy and Celia. In fact, I have scheduled an appointment for next week for Amy to do my lips, since I will still be here in Florida. I had a follow-up appointment with Amy Joy on the permanent color applied to my lips. I have had some skin damage removed from my bottom lip, which left white scarring that is very hard to apply lip color to and have it stay. I contacted Amy, who arranged another appointment to take a look at the situation. She was extremely gracious and spent much more time than I would have expected. If there's anyone you want to be a perfectionist, it would be the person applying permanent make-up to your face! She is a person with attention to detail and high standards. I cannot say enough about her work! I just wish I wasn't so far aware, as I would have her do some eyeliner for me! read more

Thank you again Whitney I love my hair but I decided it wasn't short enough so I went back. I also got a streak of color. She did a wonderful job. They do listen to you and what you are trying to accomplish. March 2018 I again returned to have Whitney cut and color my hair. She has been very busy increasing her knowledge and skill with color read more

Being born a strawberry blonde is interesting because often times the rest of your hair is also light colored which would seem fine except for when you're talking about eyelashes and eyebrows.. so if you aren't wearing make-up often times you look washed out or people may asking a concerned way if you are sick. Gail who is the aesthetician helps me stay beautiful by keeping my skin looking gorgeous and being able to do some of the best eyebrow dye work in all of Florida! top notch I highly recommend visiting her for both her facial work and if you are a blonde like me and need to ensure that you always look like you have eyebrows and eyelashes. Gail is able to make your face come alive and look beautiful, morning, noon or night! She is amazing and I highly recommend her as an Aesthetician! read more

Love my haircuts from Kenna! Knows how to cut my curly hair so it looks good whether I wear it curly or straight!

I had a great experience here today. Whitney did my hair and it looks great! I was just getting long layers cut but she totally took her time and did a wonderful job. The whole vibe of the salon is super friendly and knowledgeable. They do a lot of ongoing training so I don't see how anyone could ever walk out disappointed. I can't wait for when I'm able to go back and have some color done. read more

As someone with curly hair, finding someone that can cut curly hair well is always a daunting task. I searched so many places through instagram and found this salon. I called and asked specifically about getting a curly cut and they recommneded Edie. Edie is so sweet and such a badass! The rest of the team that work in the salon are really great too! I haven't been disappointed with a cut since I have started going and I HIGHLY recommend any other curly girls that are looking for a new salon/ stylist, go to this place. read more

Today I had my first Ouidad hair service by Celia; I am over the moon excited about my entire experience! The entire staff at this salon are so kind and professional. This was my first "curly girl" hair experience as I've gone to my former stylist and a new one in this area and they dealt with my hair straight. Before getting started Celia and I discussed my hair needs and what my objectives were. She listened to my concerns and we went right over for a shampoo. Celia suggested a particular Ouidad cleansing shampoo and suggested a deep conditioning treatment as well. She later applied Ouidad products and styled my hair. I was extremely happy with the results and I purchased some products before leaving. More importantly, I booked my next service which will be Ouidad's Carve and Slice Hair Cut!!!! My husband was extremely happy about my hair and Celia has earned a very loyal customer!!!! Updated tip: June 10, 2016 Today I received an Ouidad Carve and Slice hair cut by Celia and I am very happy with the results!!! My hair is no longer "clumped" along the ends and the curls look more defined after my cut. I am doing the happy dance right now!!!! Now, I'm going to grab my hubby so we can go out and show off my hair! Thanks Celia for the beautiful cut and style!!!!! :) read more

Probably the worst pedicure I've ever received and it was $35.00. I may have been in the chair 25 minutes tops. Feet were still rough, cuticles only have trimmed and the "utensils" used were dumped out of paper cup where they, I guess, were being sanitized. She would only take cash which was an unpleasant surprise. I had $40 and the situation was awkward in that she would have had to fish in her purse to produce change; so that was a $40 mistake. The staff was really nice. read more

Celia is the best!! I've been going to another stylist for almost 20 yrs now but I wanted something fresh, something different. I gave Celia ideas on what I had in mind. I have naturally think, curly hair. I was a little nervous because I've had the same style for quit some time and was unsure of how my hair would work, but Celia made it happen it's exactly what I was looking for. We were a little cautious just to be sure, but it turned out awesome and now I'm wanting to go even shorter and more front layers! So excited that I have a new look!! read more

Made an appointment with Shannon for color and cut. She is awesome! Made my hair look fabulous! I'm so happy that I came in. She took her time to find out how I wanted my hair and made excellent suggestions. She turned this curly haired girl into a straight believer, lol. I will definitely be back! read more

My husband and I called as first-time customers and they were able to fit us in within a few days! The salon was easy to find, clean, and tastefully decorated. More importantly, everyone was warm and welcoming. And MOST importantly, Celia did an AMAZING job -- and she stayed late to make sure we got what we wanted. Celia even took the time to show me how to do some things with my hair - I've never had a stylist show me tips to do at home!! THANK YOU Celia -- we look forward to a long friendship! read more

I've been a patron here for many years. Great curly hair salon with Ouidad products as well as many other quality products. The salon has supported my decision to go silver (natural) and long all the way and have been there for me me when I think I want a cut but I really don't. I like that kind of support and honesty. I go out of my area for Practically Frivolous and it's worth it it...full service salon so I also have my facials with Gail and my pedicures with Lori...Riva, the receptionist books all my appointments a year in advance for me. read more

My first hair cut in St Petersburg - and I could not be happier. I called for an appointment and the confirmed COVID cautions were being taken. They were 100% right and I felt safe and comfortable. I had an appointment with Edi - she was not fully certified to cut curly hair but as they told me, I would not be disappointed and I was NOT! She was fantastic. My previous cut was with a Diva Curl certified specialist and honestly, Edi was so much better. She took her time, listened to what I am struggling with, she explained what she was doing and did a fabulous job. I love the products she suggested (they had small trial sizes I could try out and didn't try to sell me alot of things) - which are actually better priced and work better than what I used before. I'm going back - no doubt about it. Well appointed, managed and experienced salon that manages to keep the vibe of St Petersburg and small town under their roof. I highly recommend them! read more

I've been going to PF for a few years now. The place is great!! Shannon is terrific!! She cuts and colors my hair, just the way I like it.

It's always a pleasure to visit. I highly recommend this business. Lisa in St. Petersburg read more
