Highly recommend stopping on by Bloom Salon if you're in Aiken. I had a wonderful experience getting a blowout before heading to The Masters tournament. The salon is beautiful and clean and the staff is so friendly! They a great assortment of products for purchase as well. Next time I'm in town I'll be coming back. read more

Kate executed her skill fabulous on my son. Came in with a picture and strutted out with confidence because my son got exactly what he wanted. The Bloom Salon is seriously tucked into a hidden spot in Aiken but is a fabulous place inside and out. I love how clean and pure it feels when you walk inside. read more

This is such a great place. The folks are friendly and the space is very welcoming and peaceful. I am so happy with my cut from Maddie! She is wonderful. I get so many compliments on my pixie cut. After a year in Aiken, I finally found a hairdresser who listens and makes me look good! Thanks Maddie!!!! read more

Being new to Aiken, and having gone to the same hair stylist in Phoenix for the 22 years we were there, I was so pleased to leave Bloom Salon Spa feeling like the first choice I had made here in our new location was the best choice I could have made! During our free consultation, Caitlyn knew just the right questions to ask, she listened carefully to my preferences and concerns, then come appointment day, she provided the perfect color treatment and cut. I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome and I have every confidence to return and make Caitlyn my new, permanent hair stylist! Thank you, Caitlyn and Bloom Salon and Spa! read more

Caitlyn Grey is a fabulous stylist which I highly recommend. Happy with the salon overall. Bloom is the third salon I've tried since moving here four years ago and couldn't be happier! read more

I have found my first stylist in Aiken. Brooke was AmaAZing. Best shampoo ever and her brilliant cut gave my lifeless hair some life and style. Oh what a good cut can do for your hair. Brooke is very sweet, affable and a talented stylist. Can't wait to see what she can do for my daughter. The salon is equally charming. I'm so very thrilled that I found them. Look no further book an appointment with Brooke now you will not regret it. read more

Horrible experience!! Went for a consultation to ensure Caitlin knew what she was doing and understood I wanted blonde hi-lights/lo lights to brighten my color. I left with the ugliest mouse/ashy color imaginable. She used a toner to lighten my hair, it was the complete opposite of what we had discussed in the consultation!! Instead of trying to make it right, the owner blamed the F-up on the condition of my hair. Easy way out, right. Inexperienced stylist wanting to be a "Master Stylist" is what this salon offers. Unprofessional, inexperienced and a manager that clearly has no desire to fix the issue, instead dismisses you as quickly as she can to avoid "owning" that the people you hire aren't that great. Save your time & money, find another salon. read more

Fabulous hot towel pedicure! Gentle, thorough, very clean. I'm visiting from California and am so lucky they had a cancellation and I could get in. Great little shop for travel size (and larger) products...and gifts. read more

As a previous lifetime blonde who had transitioned to natural gray and dirty brown hair during the pandemic I was hesitant to think how adding some color back to the hot mess of the hair that I've always loved would turn out. I booked with Madison first with a consult then official day of color. While I was nervous she was not and I entrusted myself to her. The result was fantastic, age appropriate and better than I expected! As many times I have had my hair done I've had more disappointing than pleasing this in fact would be the first time I've been pleased while not really knowing the outcome. Sure you can get a stylist who doesn't blow dry you right or didn't do exactly what you thought they would do, the lost in translation incident but not this time for me. If you are looking to move in the direction of gray hair without looking old Madison helped me do that and I highly recommend her. Overall the salon is pleasant and have great accessories in the reception area etc. Owner greeted me both times and the place was busy with ladies getting their hair done. Will be my go to spot from now on and I live in another state . Thanks Madison! read more

I am basing my rating of PowerCuts on my massage experience as I have never had any other services here. They are a Paul Mitchell Salon. The ambiance is nice, the Salon/Spa is in an old cottage in Downtown Aiken. The decor is what you would expect. The downside of this beautiful old cottage is the noise factor. I could hear the washer and dryer running, the phone ringing, clients and stylists talking all the way through my massage. The Massage therapist did a nice job, but was a bit chatty. I am still trying to decide how I feel about someone trying to carry on a conversation with me during a massage. The table on which my massage was conducted was nice as it was heated. The therapist used a peppermint oil which smelled very nice, but was not overwhelming. She did a pretty good job focusing on the areas that I specified. After my massage I was given a complimentary hand paraffin treatment which made my hands so soft, a nice treat during the winter. I am going to give PowerCuts 3 stars because I have had better massages, and the outside noises were very distracting. read more

Caitlyn Gray did a wonderful job with my hair. I had grown it out too far and it was a hot, scraggly mess. She made it stylish and healthy while still keeping most of the length. I'm very pleased with the results and would definitely visit her again! read more

Decent haircut,not spectacular,but $55 for a haircut in Aiken is ridiculous

Caitlyn was amazing!!!!she took time to analyzemy hair and explain to me her plan. I like that she is very knowledgeable and great with her job. I highly recommend this place. Worth the money! read more

Went to see Caitlyn again this morning (after a couple months). Needed my hair trimmed and shaped up. Mostly to get some weight off because it's so thick and needed some ooompf desperately!. Told her what I wanted and got exactly what I asked for...light-flowy and manageable as well as stylish and sassed up. It's always a treat for me to see her because I know I am going to walk out of there refreshed and confident that my hair looks amazing! What are you waiting for? Go see Caitlyn for the same professional and on-point experience! read more

This is the only salon I will ever go to ever again! All of the stylists, including the owner Brenda, are always so inviting and sweet! Kate is the bomb! I got my hair done a few weeks ago and when she greeted me she offered me make me a cup of coffee (I didn't have mine that morning so it was a blessing!) This girl can transform some hair!!! She listens to your wants and helps you find the best way to achieve your hair goals. I've never been to a salon that's made me feel so much at home the way Bloom Salon does!! read more

Thanks to Caitlyn for a great 2 step color with cut and blowout. So talented. Got exactly what I asked for. Before I left, I set up my next appointment. That's how satisfied I was. read more

I travel a lot and move every few years, but Aiken is our home. Blessed to be visiting our home after a lot of travel - I needed a massage. This place is the best - ANYWHERE. I'm feeling much better! read more

I've had my hair cut/colored by Madison several times now and she consistently does a great job! She is so easy to work with (and very patient with my indecisiveness) and is always a ray of sunshine when I visit. The new location is absolutely beautiful! read more

I have been getting my hair done here for 6 years. Everyone is always very friendly and professional. My stylist is Elizabeth and she does a wonderful job with my hair and always listens carefully to how I want my hair to look. If I so ask for her opinion, she is always honest. She also gives great styling tips so that you can perfect your new do at home. read more

Got a Brazilian there a few days ago & it was a pretty botched job. The wax was dangerously hot when we started and her technique was off (used a roller, did huge patches of skin at once, the wax didn't come off 1/2 the time, would wax the same spot OVER & OVER & OVER) I'm a frequent waxer and it usually takes 25 min or less to get through a wax, but this took an hour. Still had a bunch of hair leftover when she was done. Never got a mirror to check before she left the room, but I was so relieved to get the hell off that table. Ironically the most expensive yet worse wax I've ever gotten. read more

Caitlyn gray did a fantastic job .. gave me exactly what I asked for. Listened to me. Everyone was nice. Great experience and absolutely love the old house the spa is in. What ambience! I definitely recommend her!! read more

It depends on which therapist you get and what kind of massage you prefer. I like more of a deep tissue massage and I am not a big fan of stretching techniques. Cheryl was focused more on moving my arms and legs in awkward positions and stretching my muscles which I was not a fan of. Crystal gives more of a deep tissue massage that is a great rub down. read more

Have been going to PowerCuts for 3 years and LOVE Caitlyn! Great customer service all around.

I currently live in Houston, TX, but was visiting Aiken and decided to get my hair cut at the salon my sister uses, Powercuts. I had a wonderful experience. The customer service was outstanding. Everyone was friendly and inviting. Katelyn (sp?) was my stylist and did an amazing job. It's one of the best hair cuts I've had in some time. I have very thick hair and a lot of hair and she knew how to texturize it perfectly. She also gave me a lot of tips on how to style a quick everyday do. Now back in Houston, I have received several compliments on my haircut and I tell people they'll just have to go to Powercuts in Aiken. I visit Aiken once or twice a year and will definitely save my salon appointments for Powercuts. read more

Love Love Love Powercuts! Their staff is friendly and very skilled, I've had my hair done by a couple different stylists (as well as brow waxes) and it is by far not the easiest hair to deal with being ethnic and extremely curly and frizzy. Kate and Caitlyn have both done a fabulous job on it even when it's a little more than "feral" looking. Not to mention the Paul Mitchell products are fantastic, the atmosphere is adorable and the location is perfect right in downtown Aiken! The prices are more than fair for the quality!!! read more
