Never got my hair cut, was told I would have to get on a waiting list to get a consult, which would cost $30, and could only make an appointment after that was completed, I just wanted a haircut, I went somewhere else read more

I was a last second appointment booked Wednesday night for Friday afternoon. They were super friendly and had a quick consultation with me over my hair and what I wanted to do. Very friendly staff. Normally I'm terrified to get my hair done and the staff, and my stylist, put me at ease! I left loving my hair and am so excited for my appointment again in four weeks! read more

Tillman Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Because I do not get my hair done much, I like for it to be a little treat. That's what Wesley at Tillman Salon gave me. While the service is quite expensive ($80 for shampoo, cut and style), the people at Aveda are very friendly, cheerful and helpful and create an $80 atmosphere. First time you go you have a consultation, which is always reassuring since the stylist is clearly concerned with your specific needs and not doing a cookie cutter hair cut. Also, every shampoo/cut starts with a head and neck massage (woohoo!). I do like to check out websites before scheduling an appointment at a new place, and Tillman does not have anything besides a Facebook page that I saw. That in addition to the price is why the salon is not getting the full 5 stars. read more

I finally found someone here that can cut and color my hair properly. The salon is chic and always clean. Great location downtown. I really like my stylist, Amanda as well. Expensive? Maybe a little. But you do get what you pay for! read more

This place is an absolute NIGHTMARE to make an appointment with. Writing this review on a Friday, I've been attempting to get in contact with them since Monday. I left several messages and received a call back once on Wednesday. I was told that they would need to check to see if they could color my hair and to wait for another call. They did call back, while I was at work, also on Wednesday, and I have been calling since in an attempt to speak with them again. Im giving up on this place, but if you want to book an appointment you'd better not have anything else going on so you can wait by your phone for them to call you, they won't call again. read more

Very happy with service here. The entire staff is friendly and helpful. Even though my hair is thin and fine, Terry does a fabulous job with it. I love the color and cut. Also, my hair is much healthier since I started using the Aveda products. read more

I've come here about 4 times and have just absolutely loved the professionalism and quality! I have only been in Columbia a little less than a year and tried another spot a couple times before findingTillman Salon. Terry is the best stylist I've ever had, because he was patient and took time to explain exactly what he was doing and why to help me achieve the style I wanted. I also really enjoy the mini neck, shoulder, and scalp massage when they wash my hair! read more

Highly recommend this salon, I'm very picky on my hair as I am very blonde and seems like stylist can't get it right!!! My color was nothing short of amazing!!! Till did phenomenal on my cut as well, I cut 10 inches off my hair and it looks fabulous. Aveda color makes your hair feel like silk. I had my eyebrows waxed here as well it was the best wax I have had!!! It is pricey however you get what you pay for. Thank you, I will definitely be back soon! read more

Amazing experience, I've only been in Columbia a few months and have had some bumps along the way as far as salons. However, walking into the Tillman Aveda salon was a win win. The entire staff were amazing with finding me an appointment and my stylist Till has been nothing short of amazing. I came hear for a root touch up and color consult. I am very impressed with the service, compassion, and attention to detailed that I received. The foot soak sealed the deal for me - made sitting under the dryer a dream! Thank you, from a DC transplant! read more

Jaynes was my stylist and I was more than happy with my service. He did a great job and was fun to talk to! I loved the hand and arm massage while my hair was being conditioned. read more

I am visiting from out of town for work and called in desperate need of a color touch up. Till took an appointment with me the very next day, a Saturday no less. The service was amazing from the moment I walked in. The young man at the front desk was warm and polite and so was Till -my stylist ( great conversation!) as was the wonderful young man who shampooed and blow dried my hair. They made me feel right at home. The salon was also urban chic and very relaxing, unlike some loud, overcrowded salons can be - especially on the weekends. Not here. It was like having your hair done at the spa. They offered me a warm neck pillow and/or a warm foot soak while my color processed. It was really hard not to fall asleep. I was also given a gift bag of samples of all the products they used on my hair that day. And my color turned out great. I am pretty sure I will be going back. I feel like I made new friends. And I didn't feel like it was very expensive. It's pretty much comparable to the prices I normally pay in D.C. If you are going to spend a few hours of your precious weekend in a salon, why not treat yourself? Recommended very highly. read more

I had never been to a salon before, and I only went here because I had a coupon from Welcome Mat Services (I usually get my hair cut at places like Super Cuts or Great Clips). I got a consultation, shampoo/massage, and a haircut, and normally that would have cost me 100 dollars. I really liked the place though and will definitely return for a special occasion. They have hair treatments and colour packages that are reasonably priced, and from what I saw, I would definitely trust them with things like. All of their staff was soft-spoken and friendly, and the place smelled nice. They even offered me water and tea. I was attended to by Amanda, and she was great. She was so courteous, and she gave me the best scalp massage. My hair looked excellent towards the end. It was so nice to be taken care of that way, especially after a stressful time in my life. The best thing was that no one tried to sneakily psyche me into buying any additional services - those pitches usually end up making me feel cornered and self-conscious about my appearance! read more

What a lovely experience. Amanda coloured and cut my hair, but she did so much more. I was on time and so was she. She listened carefully and acted with both care and consideration to me and my hair. She gave me warm water to soak my feet while I waited for the colour and a hot drink. When she washed my hair, she put a warm towel around my neck--very relaxing. Both the cut and the colour were excellent. Someone on this site said something about charging for a consultation. I had a 15 minute consultation, but was not charged for it. The prices were reasonable, and the experience was truly a delight. read more

I had a great visit with the owner based on a referral from a friend. Because I am an older male, I don't HAVE much hair! I was treated with respect and we discussed a new style and some Aveda follicle stimulation privately away from the other clients. The courtesy shown by both the appointment setter and the owner was first-rate. read more

My mom and I went in for a consult. That part went well. We were on a short timeline and they did well to accomodate us. My mom came back for her hair cut and it was awful. It did not look finished or polished at all. It was very frizzy and it looked nothing like what was discussed during the consultation. She went back and again they fit her in to attempt a re-do. The second time it looked better but still my mom did not look like she had just left a salon. they stylist straightened a portion to "check the layers"....but then left it straight while (per my mom's request) the rest remained curly. So it look ridiculous. Both times the stylist seemed annoyed and hurried. The receptionist told my mom not to take it personally ...that "there was alot going on" with they stylist personally. That should never be the client's problem. I have an appointment which i intend to cancel. I don't plan to go back....ever! not a good experience. read more
