Just got a fantastic cut by Joel! Exactly what I asked for (and needed)! Loved the professionalism from Steven who scheduled me and sent all the information I needed to know about my appointment and where to park. Lovely salon, clean and convenient. Joel was absolutely great and attentive to detail. Hardest part now is decided which way to part my hair since it looks so great in all directions! Highly recommend! read more

See all

Kristin saved my hair. Had to find a new hair person since moving south and I had several people's creations running through my head. She balanced my color safely - without any damage- got me back to blonde. It looks so natural. Her technique makes it so I can even stretch out appointments to 6-8 weeks. I have never been able to go that long before. They are not the cheapest option in town; but like most services - you pay for what you get. She has always been on time and very friendly. The scalp massage I get when my hair gets washed by Alex is worth paying more!!!! read more

This hair salon is very unprofessional. I made an appointment to get my hair done for a wedding with a specific stylist almost a week in advance. The appointment was confirmed, and I even got a confirmation text the day before that asked me to "please reply with a confirmation" (I responded saying that I'd be there). However, upon arrival, I was told that the stylist that I had booked with wasn't actually working that day and that it was "the stylists fault for not closing off his booking calendar." In a condescending manner, I was told that no other stylist at the salon would be able to help me because they're "busy" and that I could go "try the blowout bar down the street." I should've been helped in that moment. Something should've been done to accommodate me for the major inconvenience this was. And even if they truly couldn't help, sympathy would've gone a long way. The whole situation was treated as if it was out of their hands and that it was my problem to deal with alone. I had a wedding to attend and my hair was not done. But instead, the customer was punished for the salon's mistake in not communicating properly with stylists regarding availability. And then the CLEAR lack of concern for my problem just really turned me off. I really liked the stylist I was going to here, but the business as a whole is unprofessional. I don't even do this, but the way I was treated really left a bad taste in my mouth. read more

Nail lady is well-intentioned, but extremely slow and the polish job was sloppy. They are pretty clean, but seem to spend more time on the decor than perfecting their service. Unimpressed. I added a photo to the salon Yelp album so you can see what I mean. read more

I was referred here by my sister to see Kristen. When you walk in , the staff is friendly and inviting. The salon is just gorgeous with so much attention to detail. They offer you a beverage (alcoholic or regular), which is nice. Kristen is amazing at her craft!! She was very sweet and friendly to begin with and her shampoo was awesome. She gives the most amazing scalp massage during the shampoo. The products they use are all top of the line as well. Kristen is very skilled in her craft and gave me the best cut and style ever. I don't think I have had an experience this good and I cannot wait to return to get some highlights. I highly recommend this salon and Kristen for the quality of work is unmatched anywhere else. read more

I've been a client of Jeffrey Baker, now at Salon Bongini, for 3 years and he is a very talented and professional stylist! Jeffrey does both my cut and color as well as my blow outs. Managing my hair is no easy task as it is long, thick, and curly, Jeffrey never disappoints. Whenever I leave the salon I look and feel great. Something I've always appreciated about Jeffrey and the salon is that I always know what I am going to pay and that never changes, also the prices are quite reasonable. The salon is beautiful and in addition to Jeffrey the rest of the staff is friendly and welcoming. Parking is free and easy! I highly recommend Jeffrey and Salon Bongini! read more

Called in the morning and got a mani/pedi that day! So great! Super friendly on the phone but didn't explain the parking situation. The parking outside the studio is metered so you need to go into the garage parking but there isn't an easy turnaround if you missed the side street. I ended up parking across the street in the park parking lot. Sweet lady did the mani / pedi, was relaxing and felt amazing. Great with filing nails very precisely, especially with my short nails! read more

I moved here from New York about 9 months ago and have been on a quest for that perfect hairstylist. Well I found him, Joel Bongini! The staff at Salon Bongini are always happy and smiling and eager to laugh and joke with you. You can tell there is no real drama and its a wonderful space to work. It's clean and well kept and the customer service you receive is always way above par (but not fake!)! I would recommend this salon and only this salon here in south Florida! read more

I have been virgin for several years and hesitant and cautious of doing highlights and then Jon Headley came along with his creative eye and nailed it!!!!!!! #nailedittttttt read more

Salon Bongini - Amazing color correction - Hair Salons Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Love my new stylist Andre!! Gave me great advice on a new hair color and knows how to work with curly hair. Great salon atmosphere. The decor is modern and minimal with a crisp and refreshing feel. The salon display art work from local artists which are very talented. The salon reminds me of back home in NYC. Super friendly staff and very professional. So excited for my next visit!! read more

Love love love this place! Everyone is great! My cut and color always look amazing! It was so hard to find a great salon and stylist.... and finally I met Joel! Thank you!!!! read more

I moved to Ft. Lauderdale in May 2012. And, if any of you Yelpers out there are as picky as I am, then you HAVE to visit Salon Bongini. Firstly, the place is decorated beautifully! Totally modern and CLEAN AS A WHISTLE. I don't know about y'all, but the first thing I look at when I enter a salon for the first time is the floor. The floor will tell you how well a salon is managed. Well, there wasn't a speck of hair in the floor. Anywhere. Nada. Zilch. In fact, I've been a religious patron for nearly 10 months now and the only time I see hair on the floor is when someone literally just left the chair. Then, the staff. What a joy! I have my hair done by the ever-so-talented, Kristen Black. When I first moved here I started growing out my hair from the pixie cut you see in my profile picture...And, I have to say that this is the first time that I've grown out my hair and have not been disappointed with what she's done to help the process. And speaking of process, the products they use for color is actually HEALTHY for your hair...You know why? Because they know what they are doing!!!!!!!!!! The other staff rock too. You are always greeted by a coffee, wine, or bottled water and a SMILE. You always hear laughter in the salon. The staff genuinely like working there. And, they always help one another out. There's no underlying drama or competition among the stylists. I leave and feel so relaxed and happy every time... Oh, and all of the staff have the credentials, training, and experience to make you look your best. I will not go anywhere else for my color and cut. Ever. Don't waste your time elsewhere. It's worth the money because you get a great experience every time. Helpful hint: Bring cash to tip your stylist. They don't accept credit card tips. TRUST ME. You will WANT to tip! read more

All I can say is "I have found my new happy place". I was referred to Joel by a good friend and boy, was she right on. As soon as you walk in you are greeting by Jennifer. So sweet and hospitable. Joel consulted with me about what I wanted and made a few suggestions. Then on to the "color table". Rather than the traditional salon where you stare at yourself in a mirror the entire time you are being worked on, there is a glass "dining room" table and chairs. They bring you a cup of coffee and you feel like you are in Joel's home. After that the best part. The hair wash. Remarkable. I was almost asleep with the caressing and massaging of my temples, head and the back of my neck. It was wonderful. Joel then did a fabulous cut and blow dry. I have already made my next appointment! Highly recommend. read more

Jon is amazing. I highly recommend him! Cut and color are on point. Attention to detail are phenomenal! Not one detail slip by him!!

Joel's cut my hair for over a year or so and always does a great job. He's consultative, flexible, and very talented. His salon is bright and the staff is always friendly. I highly recommend Salon Bongini. read more

Excellent new salon!!! Had my hair highlighted and cut by Joel!!! He is phenomenal! The entire staff is super friendly and the salon is gorgeous!!! Thanks again Joel!! read more

The salon decor is modern with edgy artwork and nice finishes. I enjoy the music and wine offered. I always get top notch customer service and Joel does the absolute best job on my hair cut and color.... I learned my lesson when I cheated and went somewhere else because he was out of town.....ugh what a mistake that was. I've been going for more than a year and recommend them to anyone. read more

After many years my hair dresser moved out of state. I bounced from place to place until I found Joel. He gives you his absolutely undivided attention and is a pro. Highly recommend. read more

I'm in town for work and needed a trim. I called to see if they had any opening And they got me in shortly there after. The stylist was fantastic. He listened to what I wanted, made a few suggestions, and then got started. I'm giving it 5 stars because the service was excellent the only negative was the price. I agree that $95 for a shampoo and cut is a bit hefty. read more

I have been here several times and came back after I left town for a bit. It has NOT changed! The bubbly big haired receptionist was absolutely adorable. Joel, the owner, remembered exactly who I was- by name! And forget about it- Jon A'FLIPPING'MAZING! He rocks my highlights like a TRUE artist!! While processing I went to Vesalina and it was totally worth the time!! Cheers to Salon Bongini!!! read more

Absolutely love love love my cut and color (highlights/lowlights) by Jon Headley. Fantastic stylist and salon. Jon's knowledge and skill of hair is outstanding. If you are looking for someone with talent who knows and knows what they are doing - you HAVE to go see Jon. Anyone who is as picky as I am will be so happy you went to him! His work is flawless. There is free parking at the salon. Look for it on the north side of Sunrise Blvd., just west of NE 15th Avenue and just east of the US 1 bend. Amazing experience!!! read more

I have only been to the salon once but I am going back soon. I went in for a color and blow out. I have had some recent hair trauma at another high end salon in Weston. They recommended micro link extensions after my hair was stripped twice and cut to remove the dead ends. However the extensions started breaking my hair off , I lost almost 8 inches in total. Joel the owner and Kathryn my colorist at Bongini took very good care of me and were honest about what I needed to do to grow my hair back out. I like the environment and the staff. I think it is a good salon with people who actually care about their clients. Nicole G read more

I just recently started going here because it is close to my apartment complex. Nothing but great hair cuts and service so far! Small location - but mighty! Higher end of pricing - varies depending on who cuts your hair. They are not open every day of the week, so give them a call to check operating hours / set an appointment, before you plan to stop in! Meter parking just outside of the location - available at Satori (the apartment complex is connected to). read more

Had a fantastic experience at Salon Bongini! Joel spent a lot of time discussing what was best for my hair, my lifestyle and my willingness to spend time styling, then gave me an amazing cut. Joel and Jennifer were wonderful with their kindness and help on many levels. I would recommend this salon to anyone who wants an enjoyable and relaxing experience with a superior product. read more

Joel was a delight. Very professional and creative. I have a great new hair style. Look out!!! I drove all the way from Boca for the BEST hair cut in South Florida. Thank you Joel read more

Thank goodness for the internet and review websites like Yelp, because before these existed, I just would've gone to any old hair salon and possibly coming out looking worse than when I went in. I visited Salon Bongini yesterday and got a wash, cut, and style with Kristen. She is AMAZING! I thought that $75 for a hair-cut was kinda pricey, but I feel that she totally gave me my money's worth. She was very informative on tips for my wild, un-tamed hair, she washed and massaged my head and scalp which felt so good, and ACTUALLY knew how to layer properly! I've been to count-less salons and could never find someone who can do my layers the way that I like them. I asked her to get my hair pin-straight because that's how I like it, but she first showed me a different style that I ended up liking even better! She blew my hair out and ironed it and styled it amazing! So I had her leave it like that instead of finishing up with the pin-straight hair. She really took her time and I couldn't be happier! The salon staff were all extremely nice and personable and the salon was very clean and gorgeous inside! It was on the ground floor of a luxury apartment building, and it had that modern Art Deco/South Beach feel to it, which I love! I was also offered bottled water, soda, coffee, or my choice of wine. I found my new salon! read more

I was referred to Salon Bongini almost two years ago now by a co-worker. I was apprehensive and nervous as I had several distasteful experiences with stylists in the past. Kristen took her time and was thoughtful about the questions she asked. I was impressed that she included questions regarding my daily activity and how much I wanted to fuss with my hair. My main concern was working with someone who knew graying hair, so color expertise was of the utmost importance. Additionally, I had had several bad haircuts so needless to say my hair was a mess. Two years later, I WILL not go to anyone else but Kristen! She's hip, knowledgable and always on the cutting edge of the latest techniques. Having a stylist who knows how to work with curly hair is such a pleasure. She is always professional and is always on time. She is truly a special stylist with loads of confidence! You will not be disappointed. I'm so happy to call Salon Bongini's staff my extended family! This a beautiful salon. Clean, stylish and the always attention keep me coming back!! read more

I'm so happy to have found this salon. It has a lovely atmosphere and the gentlemen who made my appt was so nice. William King gave me the best hair cut I have had in ages. I would highly recommended him! read more

I don't trust anyone with my hair....except for Joel Bongini! Four months ago, I came in for a simple trim and blow dry. He fixed my layers, and people were telling me how amazing my hair looked for the next 3 months! I'm back again for a drastic change and color. We cut off 8 inches and added highlights. Joel is a genius. The staff is all warm and welcoming, very elegant. I can't recommend this place enough. read more

Fantastic!!! Joel does an amazing job. Years ago I was traumatized by several horridly bad haircuts in a row so it always makes me super nervous to try someone new. I am so happy to have found Joel and Salon Bongini. I look fantastic every time. So good, that I'm dragging my sister in to get "fixed" while she is home over the holidays! read more

I recently moved from Weston to East Fort Lauderdale, so I was in need of a new hair stylist in the new hood. I knew my friend, Elena, from Green Bar and Kitchen has her gorgeous hair done here, so I thought I'd give it a try. It's always nerve wracking trying out a new salon, but my visit to Salon Bongini was everything but that. Steve, who scheduled the appointment, was so friendly on the phone, and he really took the time to pair me with the right stylist. When I arrived I found the salon to be beautiful, bright, and immaculate. Joel, the owner, was totally down to earth, super friendly, and very professional. He took lots of time before he got started on my hair to listen to me and to figure out not only what would look best, but also what would make me happy. He did a terrific job on my color and my cut and blow dry. From start to finish it was an extremely pleasant experience, and I am happy to say that I have found my new salon on the east side of town. Thank you, Salon Bongini, for making me feel more beautiful today! read more

Beautiful salon with friendly staff. Douglas did my hair...color, highlights, cut and blow dry. He is a master with color and does an awesome job...why would I go anywhere else... I wouldn't and neither should you ! read more

I was sent out the door today by the rude owner after I complained about their lack of parking.I am a long term customer of one of the hairdressers in this salon.I have come several times to this location and every time had hard times finding parking.There is no designated parking for this salon and on the street parking is limited to 10 min.I just want to point out how little respect for the customer this Salon has. Salon Sathori right next door has ample parking for their customers.This is the sign that they care.I have never been treated in any business rudely and unprofessionally by the owner as in Bonghinis. Very sad indeed. They deserve no stars. I spent a lot of money in this business and this is a treatment I got today.Shame! read more

Kristen Black is an absolute genius with hair. She has a great eye for when you want to try something a new style or get an up-do for a special event, and she's also happy to let you stick with the same 'do. Kristen has been transforming my locks for more than three years now, and I've never had a relationship with a hairstylist last more than one. I could never trust anyone else with cut, color, style, and extensions. And she's a comedian on the side, so your hour in the salon chair is bound to be fun. The salon is sleek and comfortable too. read more

Alright, so we've all had bad experiences where we say, we are NOT going back there again! Well...I am so glad I didn't follow that silly rule with Salon Bongini! I was in a pinch and desperately needed a trim. Thought, alright, well I know the stylist I had bad luck with is gone and I do love the salon, the cleanliness, the staff, the decor (yes, decor it's important!) etc. So I called and was honest with Jen (guest services) about my previous experience; Jen assured me she had the perfect stylist for me and I would be very pleased. That was 6 weeks ago and I am so thrilled to say that Jen was right! I went back today for more treatments and am SO HAPPY! My new hair stylist Jessica is every bit of the word AMAZING! She is just precious, knows her field, knows product, knows style, and most importantly she knows how to treat clients. I am in the hospitality business and pay more attention than I probably should at times to service, with that being said I 100% recommend Jessica at Salon Bongini to anyone that is in need of an AMAZING hair stylist! AND you're just silly if you look anywhere else after what I just told you! read more
