    My daughter got her hair done by Daniel. Great young man with patience. She couldn't take the bleach on the scalp and he made it look beautiful. She went from her natural black to blue layers.

    They claimed to know how to cut curly hair. Actually the charge you more for a curly hair. I was confident because she said she had taken a curse. I showed her a photo of what I wanted (the first one that you can see here). She started to cut the hair and then I saw she was cutting really near my head and I told her "it believe it's really short" (I know my hair is going to shrink). And she replied, oh no I need to do the layering, if you want volume this is how. This place just doesn't know how to cut curly hair. I'm so mad I came here.I am crying, literally she did with my hair what she wanted, not what I ask for. I wanted to update my review... the owner called me, she asked about what happened, she told me she will give me my 42 dollars (yes, I even pay for this disaster) back if I erase this review. Seriously! I replied I would not take it down and to keep the money. So dissapointed, I would have changed my review if the owner took a better attitude. I hope this can be useful to girls who want to cut her curls. DON'T GO

    MULLET by Fran, from Rio Hair Studio in Tapestry Park, Jacksonville, Florida.
    Lauren N.

    TITLE: MULLET, courtesy of Fran I went in, with an appointment, to get my asymmetrical haircut trimmed so that would be straight at the bottom to grow out evenly. I also asked for some longer layers so that it wouldn't be so flat. Initially, the length was fine, but the layers were like 2 drastically chopped shelves in the middle of my head, not at all evenly spaced or even close to the total length. I asked if these could be blended in so that it was a bit more cohesive, very nicely I might add, and ended up with a MULLET. I kid you not. PICTURES POSTED. The stylist tried to brush it off the MULLET she had just given me as a "shag" and told me it was in style. The layers could ALL be put in a small high pony tail with the entire rest being a single length, no layers. When pulled away from my scalp, the way layers are normally cut between two fingers, there was a DRASTIC drop from straight cut to 6-7 inches longer. Pictures of this posted, too. My hair is parted with most hanging to the left of my face, and the layers there did NOT match any other location on my entire head, they were half the length of the rest of my hair and was about 80% of the hair on that side so they couldn't even be fixed or blended when I had to go SOMEWHERE ELSE! AND I HAD TO PAY FOR IT, AND WAS EVEN DUMB ENOUGH TO TIP! I will NEVER be going here again, and i do NOT recommend this place to anyone else either. I should have known, seeing as how my stylist looked like she was wearing Ed Hardy attire, but I trusted her as a "professional" (ha). I dont know if she was drunk, on drugs, or what but this is BY FAR THE WORST haircut I have ever had in my entire life.

    Carolina you are amazing as always! If you are a curly girl like me you know its difficult to find a hairdresser that knows how to treat curls and I can say that i have found my comfort in her. Everyone come into Rio and if you are a curl girl like me, then ask for Carolina!

    Dani is amazing!

    This is my second time here and I don't remember who cut my hair the last time, but this time I won't forget! Dani was amazing. I wish I would've done a before and after. I got quite a bit cut off and it feels so light. I have naturally wavy hair but she straightened it out to add layers and it's been so long that I've actually had it straightened that I forgot how much I like it. She was super sweet and complimented my natural color, gentle, and has amazing talent. I usually leave a salon feeling "okay" but I was excited afterwards. I (almost) wanted to go home and put on some make up to jazz up my new cut.

    Hair is layered and got my natural color back (came in with faded blonde highlights and left w beautiful chocolate hair)

    I always take my son to get a haircut there, he feels important because the attention given and the affection makes him feel that way

I finally found MY salon!!! ‍ Now, fair warning: I'm a little bit of a salon snob. (Okay, maybe more than a little ) But in my defense, I literally named my first daughter after my former stylist, so when I find "the one," I'm loyal for life. And for the record... she moved away first, so let's not throw around the word hypocrite Here's my personal salon checklist: Fun area where I can wander before/after A funky, welcoming vibe inside A stylist who knows their stuff and is super friendly AMAZING products And of course... FABULOUS results And guess what? This place checked EVERY. SINGLE. BOX. Shoutout to Zoey she absolutely nailed it! My hair looks incredible, I felt totally taken care of, and the whole experience was just FUN. Located in the Five Points area, so parking can be a hassle arriving early at busy times suggested!

I seriously can't stop looking at myself in the mirror -- I'm that excited about it. Libby really listened, nailed the vision, and made the whole experience feel fun and effortless. The salon itself was super clean, welcoming, and everyone there was incredibly friendly. From start to finish, it was such a great first-time experience. I'm already looking forward to coming back and would 100% recommend Libby to anyone ready for a change. She's amazing!

I went into another salon and asked them for a conditioning treatment to help with my broken hair as well as I asked for an 8G toner to be put in. 8G is the color I have had previously at West Coast hair and had told Kayla I was happy with (read previous review). The toner was left in my hair for 20 minutes at the new salon (NOT due to me requesting any specific time frame for them to leave on, thats the time they naturally did!) and the conditioning treatment helped make the damaged hair less noticeable. Not only did Kayla make me take time off from work to go in and then do nothing the help correct the damage Kayla had caused, I was humiliated and berated being told that they could not help me when it is now 100% certain that Kayla did not leave it on as long as she had previously, and her overlapping the bleach caused the breakage. Avoid the embarrassment of being told it is your fault for not being able to put into words how to fix their stylists error of breaking my hair, and not leaving the toner in and making me feel it was my fault. Shame on the owner for the way she handled it, and shame on Kayla for not owning up and re toning and conditioning to fix her error.
