This has recently moved!!!
The new address(and the one I'm reviewing) is:
955 West Fairbanks Ave,
Winter Park, FL
Gold? Girly? Modern? Do you want to feel like a celebrity? BlondEmpire is your salon! Crystal is the definition of girl BOSS. She took this idea of great hair and feeling girly and created her custom, fit for a queen salon. The location is so convenient, right off Fairbanks (next to the WINE BARN). The parking lot has places that are for her salon only, and they are well marked. Parking is never a problem.
You walk through 2 doors out of Winter Park and into Hollywood.... like a beautiful marble walll and desk. Very modern decor (with lots of gold, pink, and crowns)... its hard to describe, but check the photos!!
I have been going to Crystal for almost 3 years now! I found her by complimenting a stranger on their awesome balayage, and said stranger gave me her instagram. I cant say enough wonderful things about Crystal. The first time I went to her I couldn't believe how low her prices were compared to another stylist I was going to and the amazing job she did on everyone's hair.
She doesn't do extensions, but I had a botched job by another stylist and my tape extensions were literally falling out the next day... I was in tears.... she told me to come in and she would fix it. She took me same day and was able to fix my hair and make it manageable for the event. She has been my lifesaver so many times...taking me early, late at night(because lets face it, half of our jobs will not take "getting my hair done" as a reason to leave early) , or even Saturdays.
The booking system is fabulous and efficient. You can log on and pick your services and add ons, and if you are a new client(she books extra time if you're a new client) and it will show available times. You just book online, and she can accept or ask to alter the appointment. If there's nothing available, she still tries to work her existing clients in.
Crystal also makes custom sample boxes and travel boxes that she gives her clients when they are traveling-- they are so cute and the perfect size. She will also let you try almost anything in her salon-- which is amazing because who wants to spend $20 on a shampoo that you hate?? She carries Healium brand everything-- its reasonably priced and amazing.
I can't say enough good things about Crystal and her dream of a salon. Please try her out!!!
TIP: Don't let the "Blonde" in the name deter you if you aren't a blonde, she does all colors and types of hair(mines been MANY colors over the years!) read more
