My daughters and I have been going to Greg for 6-7 years. He is an expert when it comes to color. I have seen him take a customer whose hair was freakishly red from another salon and neutralize it and bring back the true color. It was beautiful. Typically have highlights and low lights and a cut and have never had a bad experience. Greg is professional and always does a great job. He truly cares about his clients. And you can tell as people come in, we all care about him. read more

Greg is amazing! He listens and comes up with the best ideas! His cuts are great and last really well. The products he uses are really good. My hair looks and feels wonderful when he's done! read more

Getting your hair shampoo and blown out is real treat. I called the Salon for an appointment and it was easy breezy. The parking lot was ample for my rental and I was immediately greeted by the receptionist and offered a Coca-Cola or bottled water. Greg was great at shampooing and scrubbing my scalp because you know that shit feels amazing! Then I was whisked into the chair where Greg did his hairdry blowout magic! I loved that he was skilled and entertaining. At $45 for service, I found it was reasonable and wonderful! I will return! read more

My FIRST and LAST experience with this salon! Cut was done ok color was not. Greg told me he gives a 7 day guarantee on his services but when I tried to contact him to have color redone he was hard to reach. After leaving a note at his door he called and was rude and unprofessional in his response. I would have let him redo the color but No way will I refer or step foot in his salon again. No one in the service industry should talk to or treat clients they way he did. Not to mention he threatened to call my employer to say I was unprofessional??? What really? Who does that? read more

I've lived in ormond for over a year. During that time I tried at least 5 different stylists. Everyone of them yessed me to death but did what they wanted. Then I was referred to Greg@ Wild Strandz. Thank goodness, finally a stylist with talent and knowledge how to cut, style and make a client happy! He listened, suggested explained. Love my new Style AND stylist Greg ! Thank you read more

Greg the owner is an amazing colorist, fantastic stylist and a great guy. The shop is located at 182 Yonge St in Ormond Beach and is spacious, comfortable and modern. Services like mani/pedi, full service coloring with gentle natural products. read more

A week or so ago I bought two Groupons for Wild Strandz Hair Salon in Ormond Beach, FL at $20 each. They were for two massages...one for me, one for my boyfriend. I told the woman on the phone we needed two massages around noon and she said they only had one employee who could do that and if I wanted the other one, I'd have to pay an upcharge of $10. She made no mention that the current massage employee was a MAN and the extra one was a WOMAN. I did not really feel comfortable with a guy giving me a massage, and I didn't find out until I arrived. The guy was older, and barely spoke English, just to give you an idea of what this was like. When I asked him about the two different types of massages that the Groupon advertised, he literally had no idea what I was asking him and he just told me to lay down on the table. There was literally no way to communicate. The staff clearly did not inform this guy what to do for the Groupons. The massage itself was awkward and not that great for even the $20 Groupon price. I really felt like I got ripped off. And I felt too bad to complain at the salon because the other employees were really nice and I didn't want to seem rude, so I'm instead contacting Groupon about it. My boyfriend felt similarly, that we had wasted $40 on this mediocre, awkward, and unprofessional experience. While I was there, I also bought a $10 eyebrow wax for myself outside of the Groupon because I was in dire need of one and it was hands-down the WORST brow waxing experience of my life! The wax was cold going on my head which was pretty much a warning sign for me. Not that it should be super hot or anything, that can be equally as bad...but everything about this was...off. I told her I wanted my brows really thin. She handed me the mirror after the first waxing and when I looked at my eyebrows, I was pretty shocked. She literally took of NO hair at all. I was confused. I told her I wanted more off the top and she was like "Oh we usually don't wax the tops here." WTF? Are you even licensed to do this job? I could do a better, albeit more painful, job on myself at home with a pair of tweezers. (And that's what I ended up doing later on that day!) I kept telling her to re wax and I had to ask 3-4 times and they were still hairy as all get-out. She said "well I thought leaving the hair there would give you character." No, no, NO, lady! You do what the customer asks you to do...! I am so glad that brow wax only cost me $10 but I really don't even think it was worth $5. Yeah. Like I said, I feel bad complaining because everyone there was super-friendly (except the massage guy, I think he felt just as awkward as we did.) Maybe their haircuts are good but I would never ever return there Groupon or not for a massage or brow wax. Plus it's a good 35 minute drive just to get there from my condo in Ponce, so I see no reason to return. I will go to the Aveda salon in Dillards or perhaps Fleur de Lis salon at the corner of Dunlawton and Ridgewood instead! read more

Greg davis is amazing stylist love him very good with color and hights abd long layers check him out

Posted a photo of what I wanted and what Greg did to my hair. It's completely ruined with a straight line in it. He "fixed" it once in the salon (barely with any effort just slapped more dye on to it. So I asked him to give me my money back I even said he could keep the tip. But no, just ignored me. So, DO NOT GO HERE UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR HAIR COMPLETELY BOTCHED AND RUINED AND HIDEOUS!!!!!!!! I wish I could give zero stars. Please take my warning and run as far away from this salon. read more

Save yourself the heartache and don't go here. If you can't do a simple shoulder length A frame...close the shop, Greg I'm speaking to you. Worst hair cut experience of my life. read more

Greg is AWESOME! I recently started going to Greg for him to cut my hair which I've been totally pleased. This time it was time to color my hair. In the past other hairdressers have messed it up so many times so I was a little nervous but Greg made it perfect the 1st time, he was spot on, totally knows ha. I HIGHLY recommend him!!!!!! So thrilled to find a great hair stylist!!!!!! read more

Ruth at Wild Strandz did a great job on all over lowlights on my very light blonde hair. She listened to my wants and then chose complementary colors and interspersed them nicely all over. I will go to her again for more in the future. read more

The owner of the salon, Greg is the most unprofessional business owner I have ever encountered in Ormond Beach. He told me to stick my groupon up my a** (his exact words) after his salon made 4 spa day appts for myself and my husband and called to cancel part of them because their system and technician screwed up. Mind you, this was several days after the appts were made. I tried to work with them, but when I could not come in when it was convenient for him, (I had family coming in while on vacation), instead of the other way around, he became very aggressive and verbally abusive towards me, and refused to let me explain. If this is the way they conduct business, I can see why they need Groupon to help them stay in business. As a small business owner myself, I would never speak to a client the way I was spoken to, especially if it was my mistake in the first place. Thankfully, I was able to get a full refund by Groupon and a formal complaint against this salon has been made via Groupon and the BBB. Apparently, this salon has gotten many complaints in regards to their scheduling system. read more

Bought a groupon for a hair cut to try to save a little money rather than spending $40 where I normally go. It is a clean salon but thats all I can say. As far as their hair services, I was so not impressed. I had asked for long layers thinking it would be pretty hard to screw up. I went home and straightened my hair to see my hair completely hacked off in the back; I have a photo but I don't know if I can post it on yelp. Needless to say, I ended up spending more money because I went to my normal stylist to fix it. Lesson learned; never cut corners when it comes to your appearance. read more

Wild Strandz Hair Salon - I know I asked for layers, but come on - Skin Care Near Me - Ormond Beach, Florida

If you are looking for a super chic fancy Rodeo Drive type of salon, this is not the place for you. However if you, like me, enjoy a very mellow place with friendly people and complete service, you will love Wild Strandz. My mother wanted to get her hair done for her 50th birthday. We saw a Groupon for a variety of different salon services and ended up buying two different ones (both included a shampoo/cut/conditioning/style but my mom's also included a coloring). The groupon was incredibly reasonable ($29 for mine, $39 for my mom's). When we called the salon we told them we were only in town for my mother's birthday and they got us in THE SAME DAY and were able to get us both in at the same time. As soon as we arrived, I was greeted by Derrick who took a few minutes to ask about my hair type and what problems I had with it, what I wanted to do with it and how it normally looked. He really knew what he was talking about and understood where I was coming from with all of my particular concerns (my hair is very curly and very frizzy and can be troublesome sometimes). He shampooed, conditioned and even used some great high end defrizzing serum on my hair that smelled amazing. He was super friendly and told me about all the products he was using that they sell without once trying to force a sale on me or pressuring me to buy something I didn't need. He listened to exactly what I said when it came to the length and layers I wanted and gave his own input (which turned out to be right on the money!) My hair ended up looking, feeling and smelling great and I couldn't have been happier with what he did! Meanwhile my mom was with Jill and said Jill was super personable and friendly. My mom didn't really know exactly what kind of color she wanted but she had some vague ideas (a reddish brown kind of color with a sort of auburn tint but mostly brown etc etc) and Jill managed to figure out the EXACT color my mom was thinking of. My mom and I also decided to get pedicures done while we were there. While I waited for Jill to finish my mom's hair, Janice gave me a pedicure then my mom got one after me. She was fantastic. The pedicure was so relaxing, the color looked great for both me and my mom and she was just as friendly as Jill and Derrick! My mom is not a big "spa" person because she doesn't like the snooty atmosphere but she felt totally comfortable at Wild Strandz and since it was her big day, that was super important to me. I'm really really really impressed with the atmosphere of this place. Normally I don't write reviews but since we're out of towners and we probably won't be back to Daytona Beach for a while, I wanted to make sure everyone else knew that this place really is great. We had a lovely time and it was the perfect gift for my mom's 50th birthday! read more

Greg Davis, the owner, is a true "wizard" of hair. I came from a big city on the Eastern seaboard, so have been exposed to super high-end salon work. Greg delivers that same high-end quality one would expect from the finest salons on either coast, and yet he does it affordably in the context of central Florida. Greg is creative and practical at the same time, and as wonderful with color as he is with cut. Janice Gustin, nail tech, is perhaps the most meticulous nail tech I have ever used (and there have been many!). She is super-careful and detailed, and provides a relaxing, spa experience with both manicures and pedicures. She also does a terrific job with brow waxing -- really knows how to shape them beautifully. read more

I used a Groupon for lowlights & a good 4 inches cut from my hair. Ruth is a fabulous colorist & she spent 4 hours working on my hair. She also washed & gave me a deep conditioning treatment. My hair was very dry & damaged when I walked in....when I left it was shiny & silky. I returned a week later for a few highlights to frame my face...no charge!! Thank you Ruth! read more

Have been going to Wild Strandz Hair Salon since moving to Ormond in 2007, at the old location and now the new one.. Greg is a great hair dresser, a bit rough in the language department, but that doesn't phase us at all. The new salon location is very nice, they even have massages and full service nails including hydrotherapy. Not sure what the previous reviewer was babbling about, there has never been a Hispanic guy at this salon.. The massage therapist is a woman. Greg does a great job and gives a great haircut and always hear people raving about his Brazilian BlowOuts as well as the work he does for parties, weddings and he charges very reasonable for his services.. read more

Wanted to get my hair cut short but with long layers, brought a picture, the shortest layer should have been 4 in. not a problem, I have a picture and gave directions. DON'T GO THERE, I just got back from another salon getting it fixed, well partially fixed, it will take two or three cuts to get it right, the bottom right was an inch longer than the other side while the top right was an inch shorter than the other side. I should have known something wasn't right when it only took HIM ten minutes and he never showed me the back, I was in and out in 20 minutes. THE ONLY GOOD THING OUT OF THIS EXPERIENCE IS I WAS ABLE TO DONATE 10 INCHES OF HAIR TO LOCKS OF LOVE. And to think I drove from 35 miles to get there when the best hair cut was just around the corner. read more

I used a groupon coupon for coloring, cut, blow out. I had Ruth as my hair stylist. She listen to what I wanted n gave me her input. Walked away a happy camper. The saloon also does nails. read more

Also got ripped off on a groupon purchase - pedi/mani was the pits. Be wary of having to climb up into a (and yes there was only one) chair. Quality was very low - nails were all cut to different lengths. read more

I am vacationing in Daytona for 2 months and needed to find a place to do a single process color on my hair. I have blonde hair and jusy needed the roots done to match my hair color. The woman here took a while to figure out the color and I trusted her to match it or get close....NOT..... After sitting with the color on my roots for 25 minutes she then pulled the colir through and I sat for another 10 minutes. After washing out the colir and sitting back in her chair I thought the color looked lighter. She said she put in more ash coloring to cover some of the grey. Not what I came in for, I asked her to match my blonde not change the color completely. I was not happy but decided to live with it so not and make a scene. When I got hone my husband was like, what happened to your blonde hair, this looks almost white...... I washed it 2 days later and saw that the color didn't cover my grey. DO NOT GO TO THIS HAIR PLACE. THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO COLOR....... read more

The service at this "salon" is horrible! My hair looks terrible and I had to pay a different salon money to fix what this salon did to my hair. When I went back to Wild Strandz they could care less that I was disappointed and that my hair cut was uneven. Said it was my fault???? Do not go to this salon as the service and performance are horrible! read more

Worst Salon experience of my life. I Went in with a groupon . When I scheduled the appointment I asked if I could use the groupon for a fill in on pink and white nails even though the groupon was for a mani-pedi, I could tell the guy seemed confused on the phone ( should have been my first clue). He said yes. When I sat down with the nail tech she told me she didn t have a drill or know how much that would cost... ( every other salon I have been to this is a routine service) ...at this point I realized they are not really equipped to do fill ins .......(at least on pink and white nails)so I ask if I can have a pedicure instead. The nail tech said yes... At that point the male hairdresser came over in a rant and started yelling "I just paid my nail tech to come in for an hour and just because you changed your mind.... Your groupon is redeemed!!!" I was so stunned by his behavior I couldn t think , at that point a nice lady came over and scheduled an appt for me to come in for a pedicure tomorrow. I just left still stunned by this mans behavior. About 30 min later I received a phone call from this man ( I think the owner) ranting and raving about how he paid his nail tech for an hr and that my groupon is already redeemed and no good!! I told him I would never step foot in his salon again and I hung up the phone.I have never complained about any service in my life but I was so appalled by this mans unprofessional attitude I had to write a review and send a complaint to groupon!!! read more
