    Lauren perfecting my hair!!!

    I look forward to every appointment with Balance Salon. The staff and atmosphere is so inviting. My hair artist Lauren has the best personality and tons of passion just beems through her smile and energy. She helps turn my mundane day into a bright one...my hair always looks and feels one hundred percent better!!! Lauren is the BEST!!! ‍

    Love this place! As a college student currently, I go there as a sort of luxury, but the team here is incredibly professional and dedicated to their passion and Kristina always provides me with a calming and positive experience, in times of stress. Thank you Balance Salon! :)

    This is what I wanted.

    I showed her a photo of what I wanted she said she could do it. I went over the process with her, ( cut, size of rod, style). It was not layered properly for the style, I asked her if she needed to see the photo again she said no, she had it in her head. the perm was on about 20 to 25 minutes. She put a lot of product in it. She would not dry my hair or style it. She said it could frizz. I left wet. I have had multiple perms in my life , with long hair , short hair and styled. The only reason it would frizz is if it was burned. I even asked her to dry it and fix it and she said she was advised not too. When my hair dried, there was a piece in the front that was not curled and the rest was all just flat. It was not even remotely close to what I asked for, that she claimed she could do. There was no life to it. If she couldn't do it , it would have been better for her to have said , " I won't be able to do that." It would have saved time , hair, and the Salons reputation. My family was agassed and asked what had happen to my hair. Not, oh wow that looks sensational ! I was and am very disappointed. I would have been sad but with gratitude had she just been honest about it. Now I'm extremely upset and have to find someone to fix it. I can't believe that a Salon of your caliber was needing money so badly that you would let this happen. BAD FORM.

    Grace exceeded my expectations! I wish I had taken a "before" photo... but the "after" came out exactly as I had hoped. I have very fine, straight hair so if the stylist isn't precise it shows every uneven snip. I've been searching for a good salon since I moved to Tampa. For three years now my hair has ranged between meh and run over by a lawnmower. Grace took the time to listen to what I described and totally delivered, instead of just tossing in a few layers and calling it a day. No more curtain bangs! Yeah!

    This place was great. The environment is super cute and friendly, and they have great service. The front desk person Jackson was fun and welcoming with good conversation. My stylist was Geraldine and she did an amazing job! I love the way my hair turned out. She listened to all of my requests and what I was looking for. She even offered to show me the cut or colors as we progressed to make sure I was always comfortable. I was nervous initially since I don't trust people with my hair but meeting Geraldine for the first time she left a great impression and I instantly felt calm and relaxed. I love my hair and thanks to Geraldine who did a great job!

    I had Geraldine color and style my hair. She did a wonderful job, very kind, thoughtful and professional. My hair is on the curlier side, I appreciate how she took the time to get my hair straight before curling the ends. A wonderful job, will be coming back.

    I had a very upsetting experience at this salon as a first-time client. I booked an appointment to…read moreget my roots done and was genuinely looking forward to having a little time to myself as a busy mom of two. When I arrived, I had my two-year-old with me in a stroller. She was calm, quiet, and watching a movie completely unbothering anyone. The salon itself was nearly empty, with only one other client present. Instead of being welcomed, I was immediately met with a very cold and judgmental attitude from the front desk. I was looked up and down, along with my stroller, and told in a very rude and inflexible manner that children were not allowed and that I would either need to leave or reschedule. As a mother, it is not always easy to find time for self-care, and I made the effort to come in for this appointment. The lack of empathy or basic courtesy was honestly shocking. There was zero attempt to accommodate, problem-solve, or even speak kindly. To make matters worse, I was charged $75 (50% of the service) simply for having to leave despite the fact that the situation could have been handled with basic human decency and flexibility. I do want to note that Desi, the hairstylist, did try to be kind while witnessing the way I was being treated, and I appreciate that. I understand this situation was not her fault. However, the overall customer service and experience are a direct reflection of the business she represents. This was the first time I've ever experienced something like this at a salon. I left feeling embarrassed, dismissed, and frankly, discriminated against for being a mother. I will not be returning, and I would not recommend this salon especially to other moms. There are plenty of places that treat clients with respect, kindness, and understanding. This was not one of them.

Meiling was quick to diagnose I needed a nice ash medium brown to tone everything down and add some shine while at it. She did it so quickly and efficiently I kind of doubled on how well it would turn out but I was so stupid for questioning her godliness! Once my hair was washed and blow-dried, it was the awesome dark medium hue I've been fighting to achieve for the past 1.5 years. AND it had nice shine to it. Both my Mom and daughter complimented on how shiny and healthy my hair looked. Will be back for more future glazing by this professional.

So to say the least I walked in a bit nervous and left with the biggest smile on my face and holding back tears of joy. I haven't felt this beautiful in a long time, and thanks to Mei-ling, she sparked that light that I much needed.

    I want to start by saying that the salon management was very kind and handled my concerns with…read moreempathy, including issuing a refund, which I truly appreciated. Unfortunately, the haircut itself was extremely upsetting for me. I have had bobs before and felt confident going into the appointment. I showed a reference photo and asked for a specific length, but my hair was cut at least 2-3 inches shorter than requested (which is INSANE for a bob) and the result looked nothing like what I asked for. It has now been about 2.5 month (months!!!!), and I still feel genuinely uncomfortable wearing my hair down. Ive been wearing it up worn a ton of hair pins. It's too short to even put into a ponytail, and it's been difficult emotionally to adjust to, especially knowing this wasn't what I consented to. Hair grows back, but that doesn't take away how distressing this experience has been. I feel so awful looking at myself in the mirror... I appreciate how professionally the situation was handled afterward, but I wanted to share my honest experience so others can be very clear and cautious when discussing length, as it can't be undone For reference adding photos of what I asked and a photo of what I got. You can see why I'm still feeling so awful about it and it's been 2.5 months.... how can somebody be so so bad at their job???!!!!
