I had a very upsetting experience at this salon as a first-time client. I booked an appointment to…read moreget my roots done and was genuinely looking forward to having a little time to myself as a busy mom of two. When I arrived, I had my two-year-old with me in a stroller. She was calm, quiet, and watching a movie completely unbothering anyone. The salon itself was nearly empty, with only one other client present. Instead of being welcomed, I was immediately met with a very cold and judgmental attitude from the front desk. I was looked up and down, along with my stroller, and told in a very rude and inflexible manner that children were not allowed and that I would either need to leave or reschedule. As a mother, it is not always easy to find time for self-care, and I made the effort to come in for this appointment. The lack of empathy or basic courtesy was honestly shocking. There was zero attempt to accommodate, problem-solve, or even speak kindly. To make matters worse, I was charged $75 (50% of the service) simply for having to leave despite the fact that the situation could have been handled with basic human decency and flexibility. I do want to note that Desi, the hairstylist, did try to be kind while witnessing the way I was being treated, and I appreciate that. I understand this situation was not her fault. However, the overall customer service and experience are a direct reflection of the business she represents. This was the first time I've ever experienced something like this at a salon. I left feeling embarrassed, dismissed, and frankly, discriminated against for being a mother. I will not be returning, and I would not recommend this salon especially to other moms. There are plenty of places that treat clients with respect, kindness, and understanding. This was not one of them.

I've been a loyal customer of Monaco Salon since 2017 and have been Damaris's client since 2018…read more She is so good that I followed her to the Bay to Bay location and back to S. Dale Mabry. Damaris is so friendly and personable. She really pays attention to my hair needs and will make recommendations accordingly. I have Alopecia Areata and an Autoimmune Thyroid condition so I deal with hair shedding/fall-out and texture issues from time to time. She has helped to make my hair look healthy, full, and shiny. My needs are usually very simple. Long hair with gray root coverage. Although I did have balayage for several years. It looked really nice, but I use infrared saunas often and it can sometimes be drying to the hair so I've let the balayage grow out since. Whatever your hair needs are, give Damaris a try. You will not be disappointed. They are a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for.

It took months of research to find the perfect stylist and she is the definition of perfection.

So to say the least I walked in a bit nervous and left with the biggest smile on my face and holding back tears of joy. I haven't felt this beautiful in a long time, and thanks to Mei-ling, she sparked that light that I much needed.

I have very long, coarse, curly hair, and she somehow gets it incredibly sleek and straight, especially at the roots, which is not easy to do with just a blow dryer.

But I Literally was better off not showing up. Literally the original looks better than this. I thought for a moment before I left that maybe it wasn't her fault until I compared it to the original...... what was she even thinking. Stylist was too busy wanting to go home & in a bad mood than anything.. even though I waited patiently 30 minutes after my appointment time to get sat. I genuinely genuinely hate hate it more than everything I've ever experienced. I mentioned that I was dissatisfied several times and she said go to target and buy some clips. I don't know how someone could be so inexperienced in cutting hair and why they would willingly take a cut they know they couldn't fix.

I was very upset, and asked what could be done and was not given any options. All she said was She felt so bad. So I had to make her feel better after what happened to my hair. I cannot find a salon that will touch my hair for color or anything due to how damaged my hair is. I am told I must wait a long time to let it heal.

Not happy, felt like a Chop Shop, and very expensive for what you get.

Jordan has been my trusted hairstylist since 2010. Her exceptional skill and compassionate approach…read morehave been especially meaningful as I navigate women's hair loss. Whether it's color, extensions, or hair additions, she consistently makes my hair look full, natural, beautiful, and confidence-boosting. After feeling sad and discouraged for many years over my hair, it now looks great! I've never received so many compliments in my life. I feel like a miracle that my hair can finally look nice. I also deeply appreciate that Lavish Locks offers private booths rather than an open salon floor. During appointments involving extensions, additions, and color, that level of privacy creates such a comfortable, respectful environment, especially for women experiencing hair loss who may not want to feel on display during the process. The entire team provides a warm, professional experience every visit, and I highly recommend them.

I sat on this review for a while, but every time I think about it, it annoys me…read more I went in for a hair halo appointment and purchased a halo. My appointment might not have happened when it came in so i offered to just pick it up versus putting it on in salon. The girl I messaged with was like oh no, it's your big day, come on in. Then they washed and styled it, with curling that literally fell out within me paying and getting into my car. The photo attached is me 10 minutes after leaving the chair. They charged me $150 for that... I was not expecting that, maybe $50 or so, even though I didn't ask for the styling and the way she worded it made it seem included. So I asked what the $150 was for and $65 was for "halo try on" - so it is not free just FYI if you decide to go there and do a complimentary halo fit. Or maybe it is if you purchase and just pick up...
