This is definitely a late review: Sometimes you just need to get in your car and drive. That's how…read moreI ended up at Hair + Tonic in Gulfport on a morning when I really needed a reset. I didn't plan it--I just saw the salon, took a breath, and asked if they had space for a walk-in. Lauren, the owner, was the only one in that morning. She had just finished with a client earlier than expected and somehow made room for me without hesitation. I didn't ask for anything complicated--just a cut and style--but what I got was more than a haircut. The salon itself is clean, modern, and airy--comfortable in a way that puts you at ease without trying too hard. But it was Lauren's presence that made the real difference. From the start, she was warm and easy to talk to, and she genuinely welcomed my questions about her life, her business, and her travels. Our conversation was effortless, and being able to shift my focus onto someone so kind and grounded was exactly the kind of happy distraction I didn't know I needed. There were a few people who came in while I was there, hoping for walk-ins, and Lauren treated every one of them with kindness--even while making it clear, without words, that she was fully present with me. She held eye contact, stayed grounded, and somehow made me feel seen the whole time. To be honest, I had a pretty bad haircut experiences a few months prior, and I came in that morning carrying a lot of anxiety. But Lauren's calm, down-to-earth vibe put me at ease in a way I didn't expect. She didn't overdo it--she was just authentically herself. That alone made a huge impact. And yes--my hair looked amazing. I only wish I had asked for styling tips so I could recreate the magic at home. When I left, I felt like a different version of myself--lighter, calmer, more myself. Lauren even recommended a nearby spot where I could work remotely, and her suggestion was perfect. Every piece of that day unfolded better because of her. I live in New Orleans, but I'm genuinely considering making the hour drive just to have Lauren cut my hair again (next time, with an appointment). I wholeheartedly recommend her--not just for her skill, but for who she is.

Her past experiences have been basic run of the mill cost cutters, etc. so, I decided to take her to where I get my hair done. Olivia was her stylist and the two of them discussed what she wanted. My daughter even had a photo of the long layered style she wanted. Olivia gave her the full experience of wash, cut, blow dry, and style with using the curling iron. My daughter was so excited to be treated as if she was grown. Olivia did a great job! My daughter and I both loved the end result! The price was fantastic, only $30. We have found a new salon for my daughter to have her hair done. This salon offers many services and is located conveniently on Scenic Drive in Pass Christian, just beneath Hotel Pass Christian. They have massage services, facials, manicure and pedicures and so much more.

And charges an outrageous amount of money! I found out she charges 3 times the amount of what other stylist charge. And that's not including the tip! No I would not recommend this place. It seems like there's only one person at a time running this business. People don't realize in Long Beach there's other choices to get your hair done. Yeah it's convenient but you're also paying for that convenience. Long Beach ms is not the only place that cuts hair.
