I had a terrible experience here!! I got Japanese straightening down with Dwyane and it turns out…read morehe did not know what he was doing. I had to go to my stylist in New York to fix it who confirmed my statement. Additionally, I wanted color done and he refused To do so because my hair was damaged. Which I understand but he was deceptive in his communication and to me that is unforgivable. Plus one of the receptionists is very disrespectful, rude and inappropriate with clients. I really wish I could get back the money that I wasted there and the money I had to spend to fix his carelessness and lack of expertise on the area of straightening and color. I would never go back there and be sure to stop any friends or family that think about going there as well.. if I can stop one person from going there then my job is done

It's been some time since I've been a client at Tecnicolors, so take this review as not a recent,…read moreone-time specific, review, but a review built on years of going to Tecnicolors from when I was in high school to fairly recently. I don't go to them currently for cuts and color, but I have nothing against them save the few things I mention below. The Seagle Building location is simply splendid and the salon is lovely and it's pretty posh for Gainesville. Two incidents however with Tecnicolors stay in my mind, and they weren't horrible but still were kinda funny and slightly disturbing: First, one stylist I got when my long-time fave Rose left the salon (and town) was from Bulgaria. She was truly a sweetheart but ummmm . . . her English was badly lacking. Seriously. It was between her grasp of English and mine of Russian and some help from another stylist that we got through my haircut. This lady could, however, most certainly cut hair: problem was just communicating HOW I wanted mine cut for her to do her job. Second incident: with another stylist, I asked if I could get her to color my hair cobalt blue . . . see, I figured if I was going to do crazy color, I had best at least get a pro to do it and where better than at a salon called Tecnicolors? A friend who is a stylist in another city also suggested that I go to an Aveda salon (which Tecnicolors is) for such a wild color job because Aveda makes colorants that would do the trick perfectly. When I asked her about this, she said that yes, Aveda made the colorants to do what I wanted, but she couldn't do it at Tecnicolors because if some of that blue color got in their pale wooden floors it would dye them and wouldn't come out. Seriously? I mean they do red don't they and that also would have the capacity to ruin the floor, no? In any case, she suggested I talk to a stylist she knew at The Strand salon and see if that person would do it . . . The Strand is also an Aveda salon. So . . . my opinion of Tecnicolors as someone who has been a now-and-then client on and off for over 15 years? They know their stuff, they have a good salon going, and they probably can do what you request (except maybe blue hair!) so give them a shot. The two stories above notwithstanding, 90% of the time I've gone there for cut or color, they've done a stellar job.

Double crowns and a cowlick. Anyone who knows anything about hair cuts or styling knows these…read moretraits + short mens cuts = frustration. I cannot begin to tell you the number of times I have "settled" for a haircut or flat out grew my hair longer just to avoid having another bad experience. That is, until I sat in Georgina's chair and got the hands-down best stylist experience I have ever had. From the skills to the space and insistence on you leaving satisfied, your strands are safe in her hands. The Space Within a cozy business plaza just across from the theater on Newberry, Georgina's personal chair sits nestled inside a very clean, well-decorated shared space. The concept at this location is less "sea of cookie-cutter chairs, all side-by-side" and more "private, comfortable areas to just chat and relax". It is so private, in fact, that I do not see the faces of any other stylists who also work their magic while visiting, nor other patrons getting styled. Perhaps people-watchers like the communal approach, but I love this isolation. Getting your hair done is even more relaxing when other noise and chatter are gone, plus if you have been going to the same expert for years you are likely to want to catch up with them. The Service Let me start by saying I have not just gone "to the same place for years." I have been seeing the same PERSON for years (roughly 3 years I believe). Apart from her skills, which I will go into soon, Georgina is a genuinely thoughtful, patient person. She never fails to offer amenities for those who like a beverage or coffee to make their experience even more of a value, so keep that in mind if you are thinking of paying her a visit. For me, even before she took on her own space, it was clear she had incredible "chair-side manner" with her visitors. Effortless conversation if you are the type, but I imagine even those who are not chatty would feel comfortable relaxing quietly while getting spruced up. The Styles Did I mention the double crowns and cowlick? Having had such troublesome experiences with chains and other alternatives, I asked a friend who styled hair if she would take me on. Her response (approximately): "I honestly am not as strong at men's cuts as Georgina. She's a rockstar and you should seriously book her." I did just that, and she was not wrong. I sat down, expressed my woes of the past: lop-sided, off-kilter, unruly, etc. Georgina heard me and, in a flash, turned those fears into a clean, slick, downright fly-AF haircut I was proud to walk away sporting. I even managed to convince my girlfriend to see her and she was extremely attached to an out-of-town stylist -- and she loved her 'do too! Final Thoughts At the risk of making Georgina too busy to ever see me again, I encourage anyone looking for a long-term, careful stylist to book her ASAP. Her work speaks for itself in pictures, but as someone looking to just get a decent haircut against the odds of my genetic traits, I am telling you she can make magic happen.

It is not unusual for AJ to be the only stylist working which provides a quiet and relaxed atmosphere. I also love the soft playing music in the background. Check it out!

She showed me some color samples and helped me choose the one for me. She seemed to know exactly what I was looking for in a hair color. She was very polite and spunky and talkative; she made me feel at ease and comfortable. I loved the color instantly as soon as I saw it. She didn't have to cut too much of my hair since I had gotten it cut only a month ago and didn't want to take any more length off, but she did spruce up my thick bangs and did a great job. She also blew-dry and straightened my hair. Highly recommended, plus the shop is adorable, clean, and quiet (not a lot of phone calls or walk-ins who normally disturb an appointment in other shops).

The salon is well kept and cozy: with two small rooms, it feels less like a "hair salon" and more like a friend's house. It has never been crowded or too busy when I've been there, which I like, and the stylists don't get interrupted every 5 minutes with phone calls or walk-ins, so you feel like you really have their full attention. Also, they offer complimentary drinks (water, coffee, soda) to sip during your service. I've seen Mindy Johnson there several times. She is hilarious and fun to talk to, plus she always does a great cut on my unruly hair. (I have fine, wavy hair, but a lot of it, and she is able to tame it into a cut that works for me.) She listens to what I want but also has helpful suggestions to help me not always get the same old cut. She's fast (I'm always done in under an hour) but accurate, and she does a great job with bangs. Plus, you can book appointments with her online through StyleSeat, which is great if you have a busy schedule. I highly recommend her! I'm not sure on CJ's nail services, but I have loved all of my haircuts here and have made it my go-to salon. Also, the prices are competitive: a shampoo/condition/haircut/blowdry with Mindy is $30 (before tip)...hard to beat in Gainesville!
