I saw several ads on Facebook for Shelby Allegra Mack who works here and they were always so beautiful so I finally made an appt and was seen today. Shelby did an awesome job and I LOVE the layering!!! I have never seen my hair look so good from the back. i told her I was going to be swaying and bouncing just to show it off ! Highly recommend Shelby read more

I very much recommend this salon! I had Abby, who was not only SO wonderful at coloring and cutting my hair, but also waxing my eyebrows and styling my hair in a beautiful beach wave! I loved how she took the time to consult with me first about the true shade I was searching for. She completely matched the idea of ashy cool toned brown I had in my head. This place is like a secret lovely little cottage/cabin with a relaxing atmosphere. Overall I definitely will be going back. Since Abby did such a great job, I feel beautiful, and that's what it's all about! read more

Very cute country chic salon. Everyone is very friendly every time I walk in. I get my haircut from Shelby and she does a great job with my hair. She listens to what I want and will make suggestions. Sometimes it's hard to find a salon that you vibe with. I was lucky to find one right away that I vibe with. read more

Miscommunication with my stylist resulted me leaving with brassy orange hair instead of a honey balayage. She did not inform me it would take more than one session to get my desired effect. When she has finished she stated she knows its not the color I requested and would have to come back in one month to get it corrected. I found out later it would be almost another full payment to get it corrected. My balayage was not well blended either. The stylists rent the booths and are not held accountable for any issues with the final result. read more

Love, love, love it here! I'm new to the area, and after googling hair salons in Jacksonville and and reading lots of reviews, I found this salon with a super cute farmhouse feel to it. Sheri was my stylist and I absolutely love her! Listened to what I wanted and looked at the pics I brought in, and thoroughly discussed what I wanted before proceeding with the color/highlights/lowlights. I left here absolutely in love with my hair and will definitely be going back! And you cannot beat the prices!!! Very inexpensive for the services you receive!! read more

I absolutely LOVED my service from Brittany!! I had my hair washed and styled for a photo shoot and she made sure it looked perfect! I usually dread having anything done with my hair because it can be boring and I am usually always unsatisfied with the results -but not this time. Brittany has such a bubbly personality and I enjoyed the whole experience. My hair style lasted throughout my photo shoot and even the majority if the night-(which is rare because of how nature of my thick hair). I do wish I lived closer so that I could use her as my go-to stylist on the reg! ++plus the studio is SO CUTE!! It's like a little log cabin and made it feel like I was going over to a friends house more than just a hair appointment. *have not gotten my pictures back yet but the picture posted shows some of my hair! Very romantic loose curls & teased @ the too** read more

Sami who does lashes is the best. I went elsewhere to get a fill because a little cheaper, worst mistake, my lashes got brittle and fell out when I came for Sami to rescue my lashes, it took about 2 months but my lashes are healthy and growing. Remember you get what you pay for and Sami is good at what she does. Thank you. :) read more

If your two year old needs a hair cut, this is the place to go. My two year old needed one badly, his first hair cut too. The stylist did an awesome job and my son was ever so calm getting his first hair cut. Really great place. read more

Was short with me on what I wanted and clearly I've had it done before so it can be done. But I realize it's hard to find good work ethic in town. Boston was just full of stylists who loved their work. I ended up just saying cut off a few inches and that will be fine. 30.00 for 5 minutes. Nice:) read more

First I'd like to start off.. GO HERE! Definitely was nervous as I have very thick, curly hair. The woman I met, Nicolette worked with my short notice schedule, she took her time on deciphering on what I wanted done to my hair, and she did great work with my hair type. She was very thorough with her work, and walked me through every step she done. Before moving here I had a bad experience at a salon. She definitely kept me confident that it was fixable, and I put my trust into her. I absolutely recommend Nicolette to anyone! She's amazing, sweet and such a hard worker. She also did an amazing job working with my budget! She will get you right, and as I say "New hair, New me!!!" read more

You know how you hate when you move to a new city because you have to start all over with doctors, salons, restaurants, etc.? Well, that wasn't the case for me, because I had gone to Transformations many times during our previous five-year stint in Jacksonville, so when we moved back, I made my appointment here to get my hair cut and styled for the USMC Birthday Ball. They were nice on the phone, but walking in I could immediately tell something was different. Not necessarily bad-different, just different-different. First, the receptionist was different (not that I necessarily expected the same person there three years later, but it was still different). Second, the decorations seemed darker, though still nice. But that wasn't it. Then it hit me--the fun photos of the stylists (that I so liked before) were gone. Which told me that those girls (most if not all) probably didn't work there any more. And looking around at the few stylists that were there, none of them jumped out at me as anyone I'd "hit it off with" or want to cut my hair (as opposed to my last salon in Michigan: http://www.yelp.com/biz/flip-ferndale#hrid:BerC2KpXy2OVVVoJ1-zfOw) -- you know, no one with nicely cut or styled hair. But what I wanted was pretty simple, so I wasn't terribly worried. What did I want? Well, I have wavy to curly just-past-shoulder length hair, and I wanted it trimmed and blown out straight (which I've gotten every time I've gotten my hair cut the past 5-7 years). Since it was for the Ball, I assumed it would be glammed up a bit, hot ironed with maybe with some shine to it. Easy, right? Apparently not. To the stylist's credit, she was nice and approachable and the small talk was kept to a minimum. But the styling was VERY lackluster. 1) When she was "done" she handed me the mirror so I could see the back--and I was surprised to see definite waves still on the back of my head! Her comment/reasoning was that I had a lot of thick hair and it was hard to get straight (like it didn't take well to straightening). Um, then why has no one else ever had a problem? So she made a few perfunctory runs over the area with the flat iron and it was better, but not great (you really need to pull the curl out when you're drying it, NOT after with the flat iron). 2) Then I noticed that there really was no style to it. It was straight, but it looked like *I* did it--and I expect way more from a "professional." So I asked if she could put a curl on the ends, like turning the ends under...and she told me that it would be hard to do because my hair was so thick and long and she only had the tiny flat iron. HUH? I told her that it was usually accomplished by using a big round brush and a hair dryer...but did she get either of those items out? Nope. She attempted to do it with the tiny flat iron. Ugh. 3) Then I noticed that it was still really flyaway--and realized she hadn't put any finishing product in my hair to get it shiny (though if the drying is done correctly, you don't really even need that, which says something about her straightening skills). At that point I gave up, said it was fine, paid, and got out of there. I'm not terribly picky, but for a professional stylist to screw up a basic blow out and not comprehend how to put in some basic curl and shine? So that I had to go home and style my own hair (which I did in 10 minutes with my own flat iron)? Especially when she knew it was for a special event? I won't be going back. Sure, I could try someone else, but I honestly didn't love the vibe I felt in there. Which is sad because I really used to love this place. P.S. Tips cannot be put on credit cards. They have an ATM in the store if you need cash or you can write a check. read more

The salon is a cute cabin with a great farmhouse feel. It was very unique and a great experience. Parking is a little awkward but the stylist was amazing! Samantha is the best! I just moved to the area and desperately needed my hair done. She was attentive and listened to what I wanted. She was very professional, extremely sweet, very personable, and laid back. I had a great experience! I highly recommend! read more

Loved this salon.. Very nice gals and great nail tech Tina... Highly recommended Trish read more

This place is so nice, the decorations are absolutely amazing it feels so much like home. Alex is the woman who cut my hair and she did amazing, very nice and talked me through the whole process. I'd reccomend to anyone looking for a salon read more

Went here on a whim as I'm new to the area and couldn't find a hair salon to my liking. I was incredibly impressed with their customer service, willingness to work with my crazy schedule, and I was able to get a real consultation. Highly recommend. I will be coming back for touch ups and sending people Steph's way as she was amazing with my hair. read more

I followed my hair stylist Erin to this shop. She did a fabulous job on my hair as always.

I have been going to this salon for almost 4 years, and all I can say is that the ladies there are amazing!!! They are very close and you can tell they are all friends!!!!! I would definitely recommend it to my friends to go there!!!! read more

If you are new Jacksonville and are looking for a great salon to go to do not go here. I received the worst customer service that I ever have. My stylist colored my hair without putting any color guard on my face and neck. She left the room without even looking at my face which had color all over it. I left with black stain all over myself. I left very angry and did not even get an apology. I recommend going to Bella hair salon on western blv. read more

Went to transformation salon to get my hair highlighted an cut by Stephanie an she did an amazing job ...i got red an blonde highlights an it looks amazing...i would recommend this salon an this stylist to anyone that is looking to get an amazing hair color an cut done before the holidays or just whenever you want to look beautiful!! read more

They don't even deserve one star.. my usual hair salon was booked so I figured I would try these guy. The place was cute but, extremely dirty dust everywhere hair everywhere. I gave my stylist a picture asked if she would be able to give me the color I wanted she said she could. She wasn't very personal or friendly to begin with. Needless to say my hair came out orange and spotty, when I called a day later bc they are closed Sunday's the woman was of no help and expected me to go back and pay for them to fix it after they ruined my hair. It was the worst coloring styling and cut I have ever got in my life. And they were not willing to help at all with this. I've never been more disappointed. The fact that they could actually charge people for their services is beyond me. read more

Having just moved to the area, I was looking for a place to get my hair done. I chose to try this place because of the good reviews, however, I am extremely disappointed with the result. I asked for highlights on top and a cut with lots of layers. What I got was yellow hair and an uneven trim. She barely touched my hair with scissors. My hair looks like I did it myself with a $3 box of color from the drug store, but I paid $150... read more

Salon is very cute and homey. I followed my stylist Jessica here. I've been using her for 4 years now. She is a consummate professional and a good hearted person. She always asks what I want to do, clarifies and then makes her suggestions too (which I always take and my hair comes out looking great every time and has maintained its health after so many colorings and growing out). Price point is very fair for the quality of service. read more

This was the 6th or 7th salon in Jacksonville I've tried, with no luck. I had to get my roots done and I specifically asked when I made my appt. for the best colorist. They gave me Debbie, who said she had done hair for over 20 years. Well, first, it took over 3 hours. Second, she kept calling over another stylist to double check her work (the girl was 18, if Debbie had been doing hair for 20+ years, why would she need a second opinion on every move she made?), and third, when I checked out, she tried to charge me for a conditioning treatment that I hadn't asked her for! Then, 2 weeks later it had all faded and my roots were really gold. So I called back and spoke to Debbie, and she said that the toner must have washed out! Why did I pay $70 to have toner applied to my hair if it would wash out 2 weeks later!!!??? Never going back there. read more

We have only been here a few months. This was the first place we visited it and I have no complaints. They did move to gum branch road though. read more

I have been going to transformations since 2006 and have never had a single issue with either customer service or with my hair. I'm not the best when describing what I want done with my hair and even with my vague description, they're always able to give me what I want. I recommend transformations to anyone looking for a new salon. I went to Stephanie today and she was sweet and friendly and I left feeling beautiful! read more

I have just moved here from New York so I was trying to find a stylist to dye my hair a red color. I found someone on the jacksonville website so I texted the stylist and sent her pictures of what I wanted and what my hair was at the time. She said she could do it so I booked the appointment. Well I went to the appointment and she said to get it bright I would need to bleach it but I told her I didn't want it that bright but I wanted it noticeable. She said it would just be a little darker than the picture, so I told her to do it. Well I get done and barely looked in the mirror before I went home. While getting home I noticed I still had dye in the back of my hair and I look in the mirror and there is no change in color. I have brown hair. There was no difference at all. I call the salon and talked to the owner that told me to come back in so she could look at it and fix the problem. Arriving, she did notice the dye still in my hair and said my hair had "tiny tints" of red. But the thing is that is not what I asked for. So she had the stylist wash my hair again, and sent me home without even fixing the color. I live 30 minutes away I drove back so they could fix the color not wash my hair. I could of saved my gas and washed it myself if I knew they were not going to fix the color. If the stylist couldn't do it she should of told me before hand so I didn't waste 85 dollars that I was saving to get my hair dyed, and I didn't kill my hair for nothing. Big waste of my money and time. read more

I too was lucky enough to have good ole Deb. I brought in a picture of the haircut I wanted. It showed the front and back. I asked if she thought she could handle it. It was supposed to be a long bob , angled around the face, with sideswept bangs, and she said no problem. Instead she gave me the Posh Spice haircut from the 90's! You know, long in the front and really short in the back. She took forever to cut it too. She kept checking and rechecking and it was never even. I eventually grabbed my ends and checked them myself and she said "Hey that's my job!". I said "Well it's not even!". After I allowed her to finish ruining my hair I returned home, got my scissors and ran right to the bathroom to recut my hair. She already cut it shorter than I wanted in the first place, now it's even shorter because I had to even it out! I'm done getting haircuts in Jacksonville. I've been here for 4 years and I've had MAYBE ONE haircut that I liked. Just save your money- go to Walgreens and buy a nice pair of scissors and cut your own hair if you live in this town. read more

August was the first time I have seen my mother in a year. She flew here from Alaska to visit myself and her 3 year old granddaughter. After a trip like that, we really needed a "girl's day"... I've lived here for 5 years now, and honestly don't know much about the salon scene, so booking our afternoon at Transformations was a gamble. We could not have been more impressed. The atmosphere inside of that little cabin could almost trick you into believing you've left this dirty city for an hour or two. The girls treat everyone like family, the stylists are incredible, the prices are more than fair. I have not so much as trimmed my hair once in the last 4 years, and instead of holding on to dead ends, I looked in the mirror behind me and said, "You're the hair stylist. Do what you will. Just keep enough for me to pull it back at work." BEST hair cut and style of my life. Took me a while to get around to writing this review, but my mother and I had the best time there, came out looking and feeling great, and we'd recommend this salon to anyone!! :-) read more
