I ask for short kinky twist that looked like I had just twisted my natural hair and the style turned out exactly how I wanted and I LOVE IT. I was also very concerned about my hair being braided tightly. Ladies rest assured, she does not braid tight.

I went in for a very minor root touch-up and a haircut. My roots were only about half an inch, and…read moreI actually had to separate my hair at the part beforehand to decide whether I even needed the touch-up yet. My stylist finished early and was calling her next client to see if they could come in sooner, so I was surprised to see an additional $20 charge for covering my roots. I've never been charged an extra fee for this at any other salon. I also purchased a bottle of shampoo that was 25% off. When I was checking out, I thought the shampoo was being separated from my service total, but apparently it wasn't, so I ended up tipping on the shampoo as well. There was also an additional charge of approximately $10 on my receipt that I still can't identify or explain. To be clear, Olya was great and did a phenomenal job on my hair. I was very happy with the result. However, the pricing and unexpected additional charges were disappointing. If you're considering this salon, I would strongly recommend asking for a detailed breakdown of pricing beforehand. Unless you're prepared to spend quite a bit, there may be more reasonably priced options elsewhere.

These women are truly masters of their craft! 3. Partial highlight - Absolutely gorgeous! The color is perfectly balanced, my hair looks healthier, and I couldn't be happier with the results. 4. Eyebrow/lip wax - Expertly done. Our adult daughter really appreciated how carefully it was applied, at just the right temperature, with perfect results. All three of us are so impressed--we'll be loyal clients for as long as they're in business! We are thrilled to have found Tatiana, Olya, and all of the other wonderful staff!

**Warning.. long review**…read more So I moved to Jacksonville from miami 2 years ago which is where my hair fairy (yes I call her that) resides. Needless to say. It's been tough finding someone to do my hair that compares to her and needing to go to miami for that just isn't working. During the 2 years I did let this other hairdresser cut and dye my hair and it stopped growing. So you can say I'm skeptical and have a HUGE guard up. I've been feeling so ugly and hating my hair. So much that on day I went (Saturday 5/7/22) it wasn't planned at all. I stumbled upon this place while running errands and walked in to ask for their prices and to see if they would take a walk-in. They told me to call back at 445pm to see if they could. I waited till the time, called and to my surprise they could take me! I was so happy and felt it was meant to be. Mind you, they had no reviews on Yelp but for some reason I was willing to try them out. I was taken care of by Perjana. Very nice Bulgarian lady. I explained my needs, wants and pain points. And I even showed a video of the style I wanted. My hair was a HOT MESS with no shape to it. I was a bit embarrassed when I took it out the bun. When I tell you that she DELIVERED! She completely understood the assignment and even taught me how to style/ blow dry my hair so I can continue to make it look as if I came out of the salon. She even made sure to keep my length. You know sometimes hairdressers just wanna chop your hair off. I felt so pretty by the time I left there. What a difference hair makes and what a difference when someone does what they love. You can totally tell. She told me she usually only takes people by appt so I was definitely blessed when she opted to take me. So make sure you call to book your appointment. The best part of all this also. Everyone who has seen me since has loved my haircut . I've gotten so many compliments it's insane. I guess you can say I found my Jacksonville hair fairy ‍. Yay. Thank you again Perjana. You rock!

It was ok. Just because you have done hair for 20 years but you don't further your education…read moreeverything g just falls flat. I have very curly hair. I told her what I wanted. She didn't understand what I was saying and then as she's blow drying my hair, she didn't do the front and my natural wave pattern started to show and then she just tried to blow dry that straight over it, and it was frizzy and had a huge kink in it Didn't try to fix it and I told her can we fix this and she just brushed my hair over it was a little annoying and then she couldn't recommend me any products and the one that I was interested in they didn't have any of didn't offer to order nothing And then we moved out of town and I was back around my dad who is the licensed stylist and has always done. My hair was just trimming up my ends cause I spent a lot of time in the pool and half of my head had a haircut and the other half was all one length so she layered one side of my head so that was fun to find out because usually I wear it curly so I don't notice it......

I was referred by someone I saw in passing who had beautiful creamy blonde hair, no golden just…read morepretty soft blonde. She referred me to Katherine but when requesting an appt online you can't select who you'd want to book with. I received a text from Brooke from Ray of Blonde (it took me by surprise she got my number) to set up an appt with her. She was very kind and set up an appt after going over a few possible dates. She had an availability the next day at 1:30. We texted about what I wanted which was low maintenance balayage, lived in blonde. I confirmed I only wanted partial, no haircut because my hair is very healthy. I get to my appt with the kids and we talk about what I wanted again to confirm. I wanted to keep my roots natural so it's not high maintenance. She asked if I wanted a partial or full and again I said partial. They had lots of refreshments and snacks which were awesome. Kept my kids busy, and my blood sugar balanced so that was cool. So we get foils in, do the toner, and I noticed my hair is still yellow even though she said it was "a really pretty ash." I'm a natural darker golden blonde so my hair lifts fine and tones as well. The pics I showed her and what I explained I wanted were for sure not any yellow or gold. That was the point of lifting the ends with a little bit of bleach as well. So we go back to the hair wash area and do toner again. It worked!! So it just needed more time. I'm glad I spoke up because I can't imagine it being more gold than it is now. I'm giving 2 stars for 2 reasons: 1. I've never had to double tone my hair at a salon because it always is toned the shade I ask for the first time. She also didn't give me what I asked for and did more to charge more. I notice most people at the salon have more yellow blonde but I was very specific that I don't like that because I have so much gold in my hair it needs to be more ash. Not to mention how often highlights require maintenance. 2. I'm from California which is way higher cost for everything and have gone to amazing stylists, never have I ever paid over $250 for a partial even with root smudge, toner, and styling which is pretty standard for hair these days. I didn't even get a haircut and it was $325. I did tip her $50 because she was very kind and accommodating when it wasn't the color I wanted, even though what I wanted should've been automatic. I think she was trying to be careful since it was her first time doing my hair. It looks okay but not the best it's ever been. Update: I actually just washed my hair for the first time and it is not low maintenance, there's full on highlights and I'm pretty upset with how golden it is. Maybe she didn't use high enough volume peroxide but it's a dark gold blonde in the highlights by my roots that I didn't want and it's way too gold/yellow which is none of what I wanted. I guess she just kept foiling my hair not thinking about what we talked about before she started or texted about previously. It's really not cool, especially since I asked for something wayyyy low maintenance that shouldn't have taken so long or cost $325. Now I have to wait for it to grow out and pay someone else to fix this.

I'm sharing my experience at Ray of Blonde Salon - 14054 Beach Blvd, Jacksonville, FL, where the…read moreservice was performed by Charlotte Stockwell. I came to the salon with three tones in my hair (natural roots with brown and dark blonde highlights). After about five hours, I left with five or six different tones instead. I was told the total would be $240, but when my card was processed the charge appeared as $288, which included a tip that I did not realize had been added at the time. After the appointment, I tried to communicate about the situation. However, I received a message from the stylist asking me not to contact her again, as she considered further messages to be harassment. After that, communication stopped. I returned to the salon hoping to speak with someone in charge and find a solution, but I was unable to discuss the situation further. Yesterday I visited another salon hoping to correct the color. They told me they could not safely do anything at this time because my hair appears to have already been lightened twice and is now very over-processed. I was advised to wait about 4-6 months before any color correction can be attempted safely. At this point, I am left with hair that has multiple uneven tones and cannot be corrected right away. Important note: When a client experiences serious damage to their hair and there is no apology or attempt to discuss a solution, it leaves many questions about how such situations are handled.
