Elvis Aries has done my hair since 2005! He is the best!! He is the only peoson who I trust with my hair! He cares about what he does to your hair and his clients! He adds that extra personal touch! He is not scissor happy but is a perfectionist which works for me! He has help me with hair care/nutrition, styles, different looks and much more! I have never had a bad experience or been disappointed with anything he has done to my hair! I have dark brown hair and one time I wanted it bleach blond it turned out perfect and helped inform me on how to keep it healthy. His knowledge of styles, products, and cuts are beyond my expectations!! He loves what he does and is very pationate about it!!! He does more then just work in salons! The fashion shows and events he has worked, the outcomes were immaculate! I was absolutely amazed. He is very good at what he does and he is also an awesome person which makes the experience even better I highly recommend him. The only negative thing I would have to say about the salon is sometimes the scheduling but that has nothing to do with him. I have known him for a long time and most the stuff that he works with they have worked very close together for years and they all work very awesome together and are very great at what they do I highly recommend this place I would never go anywhere else. Even when he talked about moving out of state I was willing to go there to have him to my hair even if it meant I had to travel halfway across the country. Elvis is the best!!!! read more

I have had so many bad experiences with hair salons and women chopping off my hair and telling me its what you needed. So going to Retro Salon i was a little nervous, thinking this place would be like every other. When i walked in i was greeted with a smile and immediately asked if i was thirsty or wanted anything. You defiantly don't get customer service like that in many places. The women that did my hair her name was Kat she also greeted me with a smile and when she asked what i came in for. I could tell she was really listening to what i wanted and gave me feedback on what she thought would work and she had ideas of what would make it look even better. I have dark hair and it was pretty long so i wanted to cut it to a length where is was still pretty long but healthy and get an ombre done. When i saw my hair it was what i wanted but so much better!!! I will never go to another salon or another person to do my hair. She also gave me tips and names of products to use to keep my hair looking healthy and for my now blonde ends to not get dry. If you are looking for a new salon or someone you can trust to do you hair you need to check out Kat Salazar... I promise you will leave looking and feeling like a million bucks!! read more

Every time I walk into Retro I am always greeted with a smile. All of the stylists are always friendly and know who I am. I see Kindal for my haircuts. I have been with Kindal for over ten years. I can be pretty picky with my cut and she always does exactly what I want even when I can't fully explain what I want. The salon itself is clean, comfortable, and inviting. There is a waiting area when you walk in next to the products and reception area. There are a few hairstylists in the front and then there is a nail room. I get pedicures with Barbara so my feet are tolerable after working construction for many years. After the nail room there are more hair stations in their own rooms. All in all this is a great salon with a great atmosphere. I am always happy with the services provided. I also like that you can book online which is helpful at 2am when I can't sleep but know I need to make a haircut appointment. read more

I've been coming to Retro Salon for 2 years now and couldn't be happier! My stylist is Kat Salazar and she never ceases to amaze me with her creativity. My appointments with her basically go like this "do whatever you want" and at the end I'm always extremely happy with the results! I've had pretty much every color under the rainbow in my hair and she keeps my edgy pixie cut on point always! I've even had my makeup done by her for a special event and received so many compliments that evening. I've recommended a few friends and coworkers to her that have nothing but good things to say about Kat. She's always professional and provides great recommendations for my hair type along with products I should try. Kat is definitely one of the best in the industry and someone I'd highly recommend as a stylist and makeup artist. Thank you for always making me feel and look beautiful Kat!! read more

Kat is the best hair stylist I've ever had. I've bounced salons multiple times in my life, even 3 times in the Westchase area, and Kat at Retro Salon Studios is the best! She always does the cut I want, exactly, and gives me perfect color each time. Kat did my makeup for prom and I don't think I have ever looked better. She aims for perfection within her art, and does not stop until she reaches it. I've grown to be really good friends with Kat, and she is a fantastic person, amazing hair stylist, and has the sweetest heart. If you have any doubt about your hair, makeup, or color, Kat is the person to go to! She will give you exactly what you need, each time, without a doubt. Not only is she an amazing person, she obtains inspiration, soul, professionalism and creativity, which shines throughout her work as a hair stylist. read more

OMG.....got your attention? Good! This is a shout out to curly haired girls who have not found a great hairstylist. KACI CLARK..... Remember her name. She knows our hair. I have damaged, fine, and thinning curly hair. Moved from San Francisco to Brandon thinking I would have to wear a wig..... That bad! One visit and I left Kaci with hugs and tears in my eyes from absolute happiness. I am so jazzed. I am not an exaggerating person! Man, oh man, she is FANTASTIC. Thanks, my dear Kaci. You have a client for the rest of my life!!!! I will drive the hour from my house to Westchase without a complaint. I loved the way my hair looked when I left the shop. Girls, call Kaci. And no! I'm not lying!!! You will find out when you meet her. Ciao!!!! read more

Jewels is the best stylist in the universe!! She has been cutting and coloring my hair for more than a decade, and I wouldn't go anywhere else. She is truly an artist in every sense of the word. I like to experiment with different styles, and she is always open to anything. She wants her clients to look their best, and will tell you if you ask for something that may not flatter your complexion, face shape, etc. I receive compliments on my hair everywhere I go, and people frequently ask me whether I am a stylist because they are so impressed by my color/style! She also cuts and styles my kids' hair (conservative teenage daughter and 10-year-old son), which proves she can please clients of all ages and tastes. read more

Kaci is AMAZING!!! Simply AWESOME!!!...I highly recommend her!!! *1st - On time; no waiting for 20-30 minutes or more before you are finally greeted as I have experienced in other salons... *2nd - I changed the original plans from our consultation session and she had no attitude or issues; maintained her great personality... *3rd - Listened to my concerns, addressed them immediately, & provided some additional tips to help me on my journey of healthy hair... *4th - Haircut is EXACTLY as the picture I provided. Love it!..hubby, friends, and even strangers do too! I can't praise Kaci enough for providing such great service...thank you, thank you, thank you Kaci...I will say it again, "You are AMAZING!!" read more

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this salon, everyone is so nice. It is like walking into a family members home. From the warm welcome by Monica, all the smiles of the other stylists, the AMAZING Barbara with the Mani/Pedi, and Denise A. Everyone there takes what they do seriously. I have been a client (really friend at this point) of Denise's for about 9 years. She has a passion for color and hair. She has NEVER steered me wrong. Ernesto is always bringing educators in to teach the latest and greatest things in hair. It is just a fun, relaxing, and CLEAN - like SUPER clean salon to enjoy your time there. You will not be disappointed in any service you reiceve there. I am partial to Denise and Barbara :) read more

I found Elvis and Retro Salon through an article that was written by one of his clients about curly hair. I arrived early unsure of the area and observed all the fabulous looking women who walked out of Retro Salon, all with a smile on their faces. I have had numerous haircuts in my lifetime and this was the first time I didnt go to my car sulking and drive straight home in hopes that no one would see me. Elvis listened to what I wanted and how I style and wear my hair. He quickly went to work and gave me a great cut! He didnt try to push products or style my hair in a way I could never duplicate. And the prices were reasonable. read more

KAT IS AMAZING!! I've only had two people touch my hair so I was super nervous about finding a hair stylist once I moved down to Florida and as soon as I arrived at the Salon all my worries went away! She did an amazing Deva cut on my super curly unruly hair and finally my hair had the shape I wanted! She walked me through every step of what she was doing... From the hair cut to the wash process and styling! My curls are so springy and bouncy and I couldn't be happier! Anyone looking for an amazing curl guru look no further! You've found her! read more

I have to rave about Kaci! I have been a loyal customer for over 10 years and will not go to anyone else! Kaci is personable and truly listens to my needs and wants. I never feel rushed during my appointments and know she really wants to give me the best results. I tend to be pretty set in my ways when it comes to my hairstyles, but have allowed Kaci to change up my usual 'do on numerous occasions and have never been disappointed! I highly recommend Kaci for caring service at Retro Salon Studios! read more

I can't say enough good things about my experience! Every time I visit, the service goes above and beyond my expectations. Emily's attention to detail, the skill, and the care put into every cut and style are truly remarkable. I always leave feeling like a supermodel--confident, refreshed, and absolutely loving my look! If you're looking for a stylist who listens, delivers perfection, and makes you feel incredible, this is the place to go. Highly recommend! read more

I love Retro Salon. I have been seeing Elvis since 2004 - I will allow nobody else to touch my hair. He does great color and works really well with thick curly hair. His cuts are excellent and his straight blow outs are amazing. See Barbara for an awesome mani/pedi experience. She is very through and detailed. Monica at the front desk is wonderful to work with and remembers all the clients names. She has a kind and professional rapport with all read more

Retro is my go-to for hair and nails. I've been a happy client of theirs for 5 years and wouldn't go anywhere else for those services. For mani/pedi Barbara is the only person you'll want. Her attention to detail and great quality of products leave your nails looking beautiful and long lasting every time. As for hair, you can't go wrong with any of their stylist, all are amazingly talented in their own ways. read more

I've been clueless about what to do with my curly hair so I went in for a consultation with Sou, who is friendly and knowledgeable, and came back a few days later for the cut. I'm very happy with the result! I wanted to grow out my hair while keeping it shaped and styled and Sou did a great job giving me just what I wanted! I feel great about my hair now :) I'll be going back! read more

Ernesto is fabulous!! He's been doing my hair for 6 years and it's never looked so good!!! I am always complimented on my hair. He's also been doing my daughter's hair for 8 years and even though she goes to school in NYC, she waits until she's home on break to let Ernesto do her hair. All of the staff is very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this place. read more

Jewels! I love My Jewels! What would I do without you twice a week to make me look fabulous ALWAYS! Not only do I come in to get my hair done, but I'm also entertained by the fabulous staff at Retro! It's one big family! And My NailS.... can't forget about those.. Barbara Verdecia freshens up my nails weekly so that o can look great while I'm Ballroom dancing! read more
