Professional Friendly and Accommodating. Another great cut and color by Jose! I've been going to Serenity Salon & Spa for almost a year now and have always walked away feeling great! The color Jose applies is perfect with my completion and the short angled cut works well with my jawline. Jose always takes the time to get my cut right. My hair is really thick so after he texturizes with his sheers, blows it out and flat irons it, he goes back in with the scissors to get the right angle of the style. The staff is always super friendly and always offer me a beverage. The team at Serenity Salon & Spa are a well oiled machine. Jose's assistants are super helpful and detailed at what they do. I will be back in 10 weeks for my next cut and color! read more

I am a bit confused as to how there are any positive reviews about this salon. I suspect they may be deleting negative reviews. This is by far the worst salon I have ever been to in regard to customer service and quality. I went in and asked for balayage and showed the stylist the model photo with light brown caramel highlights. She seemed to have no idea what she was doing and ended up lightening my hair too much and I left with an ashy blonde color which looked horrible and was not what I asked for. [[HIGHLIGHT]]She said it looked like my photo and it was just the salon lighting (??) but if i still didn't like it she would fix it in a few days.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I ended up calling back the next day and the receptionist (who was also rude) told me she wouldn't be back until July so i decided to have another stylist fix it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] He ended up dying my hair red and in some places it legitimately looked pink. I told him this was too red and also not what I asked for and he told me it was the best they could do and now it will take a month for me to get to the color I asked for but only if I kept coming to him and having him fix it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]When I came back and asked for a refund since it looked awful the stylist came out and yelled at me and told me that I don't deserve a refund and life isn't fair and that this is now my reality.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I left and contacted the owner who was a despicable man who accused me of lying and said the stylists both said I left happy when that was clearly not the case.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] He also said both hair colors looked fine when they are both extremely unflattering and completely not what I asked for. [[HIGHLIGHT]]He basically kept stringing me along saying he will contact the stylist and see if he could offer me a refund and never got back to me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Please avoid this salon at all costs. They do not know what they are doing and will verbally abuse you if you mention that they did not meet your standards. read more

If I could give this salon a zero rating I would. My previous colorist moved and I was assured a master colorist would take care of my partial highlights and lowlights I have extensions and I was told the colorist was well equipped to work with them- unfortunately after three hour I had splotches of lowlights all over my blonde hair giving cheetah patches. Also having half blonde and half low lighted hair strands. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I am all about giving second chances and let the colorist know I'd come back in the next day to fix it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Three more hours of my time and two more bleaching services later it still was not fixed- when I asked to get my money back I was told no by the owner he expected me to come back in and waste more of my time fixing something that never should have happened in the first place. Now I'm out 400 dollars and 6 hours and the problem is still not fixed. Please save your money and time and go anywhere else but here. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]since the new ownership took over, it has been so bad. they don't value their employees who are so talented.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Four of them who I loved left the place and it has not been the same since.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The two girls left first! They were there for 8 years and the other two 20 years. One of the hairstylist saved my hair extensions which I paid $300.00 for and they refused to give them back to me. They fuck up. I don't think they will survive past this year. bad karma coming. It is too bad. I really loved that place. I am going to find them wherever they went. Waiting to hear back from my friend who is good friends with them. read more

This salon is top notch! Since my last review, I have gotten my hair colored, cut, eye brows waxed and have had manicures and pedicures. The hair stylists are all friendly and great. I have curly hair and love Heather! She cut and colored my hair and I love it. I have had my eyebrows waxed by Sharon and she has done a great job. For nails, I have gone to crystal and Phyllis. Crystal is great for designs. All in all, for me, this salon is a keeper because of their service. Everyone goes out of their way to make you feel special and important. Plus, they serve coffee, tea, water and even wine to their customers. So, take time for you! read more

I had wonderful experiences at this salon until the ownership change. Most recently, I was surprised by an additional fee for using my credit card to pay for services rendered. There was no email, text, or mention of the fee, even when I was paying. There was 1 very small, ambiguous sign at checkout that I noticed and asked about. I can only imagine how many people paid and never noticed the change. This is just deceitful and bad business and as much as we love Cori, both me and my mother decided to leave. read more

Awesome place! Cory is the absolute best! I travel in from NJ just to see her!

I just moved to this area and in desperate need of a cut and color. This salon had some good reviews so I gave it a shot. I first time my hair was FRIED due to being over processed. I went back a few weeks later for a correction. The stylist blamed me!!!! I've been drying and styling my own hair for years and never had an issue before! When I called to cancel future appointments and explain why, the receptionist was very polite when she hung up on me! My current stylist has had to cut at least 6 inches off of my hair! RUN! from this place! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Jose and Francisco are the best!! Always good energy and holiday decorations!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Their blonde process is so smooth and my hair always feels it's best when I leave. The salon is recently renovated and beautiful! They are my favorite!! My mother and I love them like family! read more

Sent my daughter here (a very pricey Christmas gift) and she came home in tears. She has very long curly naturally blonde hair, which I specified when I made the appointment. She wanted a good cut and to darken up some of the sun lightened parts. I did some research and found on Serenity's site that they had a stylist who claims to specialize in "blondes, difficult curly and short hair." I am giving one star because the color looks good. But the experience was a nightmare. She was there for 3.5 hours. After coloring and washing her hair, my daughter had multiple stylists ripping through her hair to comb it out. If you know curly hair, as this stylist's description touts, you know to section it and start gently combing from the bottom up. Nope, not at Serenity. Here they start at the top and rip downward. My daughter's hair ripped out out, broke off and her scalp turned blood red. And, worst of all, she left in tears. When I called to speak to the owner, Melissa, about our experience, she defended her stylist, and instead blamed my daughter's hair for being "kinky and dry." Really? If I could post a pic here of my daughter's hair (before the Serenity nightmare), I would. Yes, it is blonde so maybe a bit dry but there is absolutely nothing "kinky" about her curls! We paid top dollar - $250 - for this experience. But I suppose the insults were free! read more

Jose and Francisco are the best! They're professional and know what they're doing. I've been loyal and going to this salon since I relocated for over 4yrs and trust them with my hair. The salon is clean and offer facials, threading and pedicures. Pretty does my threading (and she is very Pretty-and yes, that's her name and hope I'm spelling correct). read more

Jose is an angel!!! I'm in town for my wedding and I needed a trim and my color refreshed I luckily stumbled upon this salon that is to Yelp. He made suggestions and I trusted him and my hair has never looked and felt better. I come into town from Denver around 3 times a year and I will be seeing him every time. Highly highly recommend !!!! read more

Jose' worked his magic on my hair! I have been to a couple other hairstyles in the area the past couple of months and my hair showed the many different techniques and damage. Jose turned me back into a beautifully blended blonde. He takes personal pride in his artistic hair work and makes sure you are more than satisfied! I love coming to Serenity Salon to be pampered by Jose while he gives your hair a much needed revitalization! The customer service and cleanliness of the salon is unmatched elsewhere! You will not be able to find the amazing talent in this industry paired with excellent customer service anywhere else!Jose is not only my hair guru but a close friend with a heart of gold. Look no further! read more

My daughter who is 14 came in with a photo of an anime character for her chosen hair color and cut. Herrington absolutely nailed it! Took longer than expected because of the color she wanted (and I wasn't that clear on it when I made the appointment) but so so so so worth it! Harrington and Sierra were just a delight and my daughter really loved the experience and came out looking, as she would say "swag"! read more

If I could give zero stars I would. This salon has absolutely no regard for their workers and customers. I came into this salon for a simple service and within the short amount of time I was in the salon I witnessed the owner and the stylists barking orders at the only assistant working at that time. I was embarrassed for them and appalled. not only that but I did not get taken seriously for how I wanted my hair and ended up settling for a mediocre haircut done by their "head" stylist. Not to mention the sad state of a salon it is in. Under new management or not I am very unimpressed. read more

Great job on cutting my sons hair. He wanted to keep the bro flow for lacrosse about shoulders length so it woods come out of his helmet while not overbearing him. They did a great job of making him happy. I was happy he got a hair cut and he looked great! I'm read more

I have been to Serenity for a massage in the past. Today, I went in for color and a hair cut. I had a horrible haircut a few months ago and I was growing my hair out. I had years of bleaching and lots of highlights that grew out. I was greeted with a smile by Francisco and for the first time I did not have someone intimidated by the thickness of my hair. He was excited to help me transform and he exceeded every expectation that I had. I have never been so impressed with a Salon's service, attitude and true direction to help me continue the look he provided me with today!!! All of the staff was friendly and so upbeat. A wonderful atmosphere! I will definitely be back! Thanks Francisco for the love today!!! I feel absolutely beautiful! :) read more

Service: Facial Review: Fabulous! Esthetician: Maida I had an appointment with Maida for a deep cleaning facial. My skin regimen is not the best and the sweat from workouts caused many black and white heads to form. After the facial, not only was my face visibly clean, but it was moisturized and supple. Maida took the time to explain the correct skin regimen to follow. She suggested strategies to take better care of my skin and recommended a product just right for me. She is professional and knowledgeable and takes her time to do it right! read more

If you are looking for an amazing full service spa, look no further! All their services are excellent and the salon follows strict cleaning protocols. Jose Tamayo has been my hair stylist for several years and he NEVER disappoints. He is talented, professional and an exceptional colorist. While he has many years of experience, he never allows himself to get stale and stays current on the latest techniques and trends. Outstanding! read more

I was searching for a full service salon to get prepped for my wedding and I was so happy I found this place! Bobbie did my facial and made me glow like none other! My skin felt amazing and she was super knowledgeable and answered all my questions. I went to Alexa to get lash extensions for the big day because I wanted to look beautiful for my honey moon on the regular of course! They came out gorgeous and natural looking. Kenadee did my makeup on the day of my wedding and I felt so beautiful I was trying not to ruin it by tearing up! Lester did my color as I had roots and Jordan gave me the most beautiful bouncy curls! I can not say enough good about this salon as everyone is so nice and makes you feel really special! Plus sipping on rose made the experience even more relaxing to calm my nerves during all the excitement! read more

THANK YOU to the fabulous Francisco for giving my goldilocks the attention they so desperately needed! Your professionalism & passion for perfection is second to none. I've had multiple compliments on my color just since leaving the salon this afternoon. I would highly recommend Serenity Salon to anyone looking for a color specialist, a new modern cut or hair extensions. You won't be disappointed! read more

Just had the most awesome massage by Bobbie Gilbert! It was out of this world! I could barely walk before the massage and after I felt a hundred times better! Thank you Bobbie! read more

Seriously amazing. Everyone there is extremely nice and personable. My hair turned out great and I can't wait to go back for highlights. Update: everything is still amazing with hair and I recently had the pleasure of getting some facials and waxing/threading. Bobbi and Preeti are fantastic and do an amazing job! read more

I stopped by a couple salons looking for a haircut, Salon Lofts didn't have availability and were rude,kept reiterating haircuts start at "$50.00" not sure what look I give them for them to asume I couldn't afford it. And stated not to go to serenity salon because all they did was "fix" their work. I'm glad I stopped by Serenity from the moment you walked in you were welcomed and treated with respect. I was lucky to have my haircut and styled by Jose T. He was absolutely amazing. Attended to my needs,listened and provided exceptional service. If you're looking for a salon to call home this is the one! read more

Love love love this place. They offer a wide variety of services. I really enjoy the fact that I can dual book appointments and can get a facial, waxing, or nails while my color processes. Everyone there is amazing. I've trusted Jose, Francisco, Cori, Ana, Yanny and of course Pretti to perform services on me and have never been disappointed. Highly recommend them to everyone. And Jennifer at the front desk is an absolute doll to make it all happen. read more

I have never been more in love with my hair! From the moment I walked in, I felt special, and everyone was so positive. Jose went above and beyond anything I expected; he truly listened, worked quickly, and was professional. I won't let anyone else touch my hair again! Preeti threaded my eyebrows (my first time) and did a phenomenal job! read more

It's nice, but too expensive. Like way too much! I have thin-medium long hair and still can't believe I spend 175.00! The lady who did my hair was excellent. I like the cut and hair color, the only fault is the blow drying and styling... I can't really complain about it tho, only a few people know how to style my hair, she did a good job with color and cutting... :) read more

I am new to the area and don't often have time on the weekends to get my hair done, so I was so happy to see that I was able to get an appointment on a Sunday when most other salons are closed. First of all, they have the nicest staff I have ever met at a salon. The sweet girl at the front desk was warm and welcoming in such a genuine way from the moment I walked in and so professional. Next, Jose and Francisco are absolute rock stars. These guys are not only so unbelievably talented, but they make you and everyone else feel like a million bucks from the moment they meet you. I saw these guys treating everyone with such class and care, all the customers were happy and in a good mood- it was a wonderful atmosphere. The salon is so beautiful with lots of natural lighting, and everything was so clean and updated. Francisco did my highlights and he was a genius. He was SO FAST and SO PRECISE! I was stunned...I have never had highlights done that quickly and come out so well. I'm usually there for hours and hours, and this was such a change. Jose cut my hair, also, so fast and he did such a beautiful job and styled it in such a glamorous way- they both truly care about their customers and it shows! They work so well as a team, and honestly I felt lucky and honored to have had this random chance to have my hair done here, because I was only looking for whatever was open on a Sunday! Also, the girl who washed my hair is extremely talented too...I wish I knew her name, but she scrubbed my scalp in such a relaxing way and took such great care in her work- this made a great impression on me. I will absolutely go back here from now on, and I have nothing but the most wonderful things to say about everyone who works here. I loved talking to Francisco and Jose, they are great conversationalists and they just made this mundane Sunday something very special! Thank you so much for a wonderful experience! -Elise read more

I have consistently been going to Serenity Salon for almost a year now. When I first moved to Tampa, it was not only in my apartment complex (west Park village) but someone referred Chaz to me specifically. When I went in, Chaz had apparently called in sick so I got Kendall. I was pleased with the color but not the cut - I went back for a walk-in appointment and saw Franky who did a good job but eventually left to open his own salon. I went back once again and made an appointment with Chaz to give her another shot since she was highly recommended to me - again, upon my arrival she had called in sick...again! The owner was very apologetic about it and had me work with Heather - who I believe was new to the salon. Well - lucky me! Heather has done an amazing job month over month when doing my highlights, lowlights, base bump, cut and style! She's such a sweetheart and makes for a fantastic experience! She recently attended a training/convention to continually improve in her skills and every time I see her she gets better and better! Highly recommend!! :-) read more

I visited Serenity today for a pedicure and gel manicure. I was greeted very politely by the front desk staff and Crystal. I requested something fun for my trip to the keys. Crystal did a great job on both my feet and hands. I love what she choose to give my nails a fancy twist. read more

After moving from Chicago to Tampa a year and a half ago...I have been bouncing around from Salon to Salon to find a good one. Finally...I have found a great salon with Serenity! Francisco did my color/highlights and cut. He is professional, easy to talk with, and very good at what he does. I told him what I wanted and he was quick to know actually how to get it done! I was so at ease with him which was so refreshing. I love my hair again! Thank you Francisco!!! I have had a lot of compliments on my hair as well! I also got my hair blow-out from Jose. He is also very professional, sweet, and very good with hair. You can tell Francisco and Jose love what they do for a living. You can't go wrong with either one of these Professionals. read more

This salon gets a 5 for massage and facials, but a 1 for haircuts. I went in yesterday for a haircut and asked for bangs and 1 inch off (the stylist repeated what I said) and came out with lots of short layers everywhere - a horrible shag that resulted in about 6 inches off in places. I was busy trying to entertain my 5 year old while she was cutting, so I didn't notice things had gone wrong until it was too late. Facial estetician and masseuse were top notch. Also, nice pedicures. read more

I first had Francisco cut, color, and highlight my hair probably in May, 2018. He is a very nice man and I thought, an excellent colorist and stylist. Although $190 plus 20% tip is more than I have ever paid before even in the high priced east coast city I moved from I felt it was reasonable for the relief of finding someone good for my hair. However, when I went back about a month later to have my roots done--just around my face I thought Francisco seemed a little anxious and harried. He seemed overbooked. When I got the bill for slightly more than $100 not including tip just for limited root coloring I was surprised and unhappy. I didn't say a word because so many people were standing around the counter, but decided I was never going back. If you want a good stylist and colorist, by all means go to Francisco. But, be ready to pay for it. read more
