I had a very bad haircut experience in Gainesville, and went back to the same barber to fix it and…read morehe made it worse - I happened to be going to Williston and Florenda was the only hairstylist open, so I went to her to see if she could see an issue with my hair and fix it. I'm very picky about my hair, like most people, I guess. To say she did a stellar job is an understatement - she not only fixed my hair, but it looks better than any recent haircut I've gotten. I grew up helping out in a salon, and it was immediately evident that Florenda is a skilled hairstylist - the techniques she used were on a level I haven't seen since I went to 5 star salons in Kansas City 15 years ago. This level of expertise is hard to find in this area. This is my new go-to stylist, even though I live an hour away, it's worth the drive.

I unfortunately had a negative experience with my haircut and blow dry. My stylist was very sweet…read more However, the standard of her service was subpar and I hope she gets the training she needs to be able to achieve this skill. I asked for a trim/cut to remove the dead ends and keep long layers, I informed her I had curly frizzy hair and usually my stylist will cut it after the blowdry. She stated she preferred to cut it wet and informed me she would touch it up after the blowdry, which was fine with me. When it came to the blowdry, it was clear she was not skilled with proper technique to blow out thick curly hair. It took about 30 minutes just for one section when finally another stylist noticed and asked if she wanted help. The other stylist asked what product was in my hair and stated that probably wasn't the right product to use and offered her blow dryer. The other stylist did a section that turned out just fine. My stylist continued on with the rest of my hair, at points I had to inform her the blow dryer was burning my scalp. The end result was a frizzy mess and it was clear I was not happy with the outcome, while her and the other stylist kept trying to normalize it by saying "Oh some people's hair just resists the blow dry" "it's looking so good!" etc. I truly didn't appreciate these comments as I have obviously gotten several blowouts and know my hair can definitely be blown out frizz-free. She also did not touch up the haircut at the end as she previously said she would and I was left with choppy layers that I will have to get fixed. The most disappointing part is that I tried to contact the salon owner three times to have this fixed with literally no response.

If you are a senior, like me, but don't want to look like one with a bad hair style, Rose is the stylist for you.

I can certainly recommend this Salon, whether you are young or elderly, I know first-hand that Rose would listen to any concerns you might have, or new styles that you would like to try. I am so please with the haircut I got today and know I will be returning to this salon in the future. I gave Rose a well-deserved five-star rating.
