I'm not unhappy with my hair but I could be happier. Mostly, it was the salon experience that left more to be desired. As this place is really pricey (money that I don't mind paying for good hair and a nice salon) you would expect to be getting your money's worth not only in the hair you leave with but in your time spent at the salon. Which for me was a solid 4 hours of noise and chaos. The employees are a bit unprofessional. The girl who was doing my hair was constantly interrupted to do other things or to talk to her friends as they walked by her station. Sometimes I'd be mid-sentence talking to her and she would interrupt me to talk to someone else. It is very clear that the stylists are more concerned with having social hour with each other (very loudly mind you) rather than creating a good environment for their clients who are paying generously to get their hair done there. Another thing that bothered me was that I was paying extra to have a master stylist do my hair yet all she did was the cut and the painting. She had someone else do the toner/glaze and then another person doing the blow out. Obviously I understand her job was most important but toner is a big deal too and I could hear her explaining everything out to the girl who she had do the toner on me as if it was her first time which totally made me uneasy. Then the girl who did my wash and blow dry had these terribly long pointy fake finger nails and she stabbed me about a million times during the wash and dry. Like why would they allow someone who is so up close and personal with a client's head/face wear their nails like that? Super impractical. Then after I had already been there all day and clearly was ready to go, I was held up because the girl who blew out my hair had to take about a trillion pictures. I'm definitely cool with having a few pictures taken but it was honestly excessive. She had me turning and angling for what felt like forever for a picture that was never even posted by the salon or the stylist. Overall my stylist did a good job on my hair. It wasn't 100% what I wanted but I'm content with it. It was the salon experience that left me less than impressed. If you're going to shell out hundreds of dollars, I would recommend doing it at a place where you won't totally hate your life for the 4 hours you spend there. read more

I can NOT explain how much I loved this salon. The service is amazing and I got the best cut/balayage of my LIFE. Khristina is THE BEST. I enjoyed her so much and she is INSANELY talented. I can NOT recommend her enough. Thank you Educe for my new amazing hair!!!! Love you guys. read more

This is the only salon I've ever left happy about what they did with my hair. Finding a good salon is so hard! Chelsea Milligan is easily the most talented stylist I've ever been too! You won't regret trying this place out, you'll leave looking so good! read more

Felt very welcomed when I came here. Love the energy. Good customer service is when you ask for something & receive it tenfold. Thank you guys read more

Highly recommend Morgan for balayages. I have been coming here for the past few months for color, touchups, and cuts with her. She is funny, professional, and a good time. She knows her clients and remembers everything we spoke about from the last time I was here. Even recommended scalp treatment to help my flakes. Definitely recommend her! read more

Educe Salon - Hair Stylists Near Me - Orlando, Florida

I loved coming to this salon. My hair stylist sat down with me to talk about the ideas I had in mind and she explained what could be done. She also gave me the price before even starting. That was nice. My hair stylist was Kate, she is amazing! read more

Has all the talent with out the pretentious vibe. I was worried when I booked my first appointment here because, as we all know, soooo many salons in the WoPo (Winter Park) area are super pretentious. For me, that makes me feel super uncomfortable. Not this place- I was welcomed as soon as I walked in and offered something. I was checked on repeatedly after waiting a bit, and all the stylists were in their own zone focused on their work. So many times in salons you can feel the tension and anticipate the gossip, not here. They either hid it well, or they actually just focus on clients. My particular stylist was Erin, and I can't say enough great things. I've never felt more beautiful and I can honestly say I've never had a better well suiting color/cut. She absolutely has natural talent. Hopefully she liked me, because I'm a lifer. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. I visited Tara Weeks in December for bayalage and a haircut. I sat with her and discussed I wanted blonde highlights with my dark hair and showed pictures. I noted I have used black box dye in the past and she told me my hair would not get as light as I wanted in one trip but I could come back in a few weeks and go lighter if I wanted. She showed me some pictures from her Instagram of what it would look like that day. I asked her if it would be brassy and she said no and that I would be very happy with the color. I trusted her and we moved forward. 7 hours later (and nearly 2 hours after closing) we were done. While blow drying my hair (mind you, they wouldn't let me see it during the entire 7 hours) she quickly turned from come back in a few weeks to that I needed to come back the same week, as soon as possible. I agreed to come back in 3 days. Finally I was turned around to see my hair. The lights were nearly all off (as it was night time and well past closing) I could tell me hair color wasn't what we discussed it would look like that day, but it was dark and I hadn't eaten in 7 hours so I quickly paid and left. The bill came to nearly double what I was quoted on my booking. I understand that some things take more work and money, but I've never not had this discussed during consultation. I then asked the assistant (as Tara had left) if there was an additional charge for the next visit this week. She told me it would be another $200 (making my bill 3x what I was told) This however wasn't the real issue. When I got home and in the light I realized my hair was a brassy shade of ORANGE!!! I cried, a lot. It was just before Christmas, we had family pictures and events coming up. I slept on it and decided to look at it fresh in the morning. That morning I had an even bigger problem. My hair began falling out in chunks and snapping off at the slightest touch. I couldn't believe it and even more so that my stylist wanted to further bleach it in 3 days! I immediately reached out the salon via email. After a few days I received an email back and phone call. I called back and emailed back and the salon told me Tara was an independent contractor and I had to deal with Tara as it basically wasn't their problem. I attempted to work with Tara and the only resolution I was offered was to have her try and fix it. No way!! She gave me orange destroyed hair once. Since then I've been told by the salon via email that damage and brassy is expected with what I wanted. I'm not sure why I wasn't warned that my hair would be severely damaged if this is something that they knew would happen. I feel as though future customers should know that 1. If there is a problem, good luck getting a resolution. 2. Apparently damage is ok to happen. I'm shocked I wasn't told before beginning that my hair would look terrible when I left and that it would be so damaged I cannot blow dry, straighten or curl it. I will be posting photos of the severe damage and orange color and correspondence from the salon on @IGotEduced on Instagram for anyone that wants to see what was done to my hair and the lack of help from the salon. I honestly did not want to share my story (it's embarrassing) but no one was willing to help me. I just wanted my money back since my hair is so badly destroyed. I have had to spend several hundred dollars in conditioning treatments to try and save it and it is still breaking off mid shaft daily. I hope no one else has to go through this!! Edited to respond to owners continuous lie about trying to resolve the issue. I declined going back to Tara and was offering NO other resolution then to deal with her. The salon called ONCE and I returned their call and left a message and received no other calls. I was told via email that i had to deal with Tara. Good luck if you have a problem. The salon was notified immediately there was a problem. I understand it may be a costly procedure and have NO issue with that. My issue is that my hair was ORANGE when I left and is extremely damaged. It is falling out and breaks off in my hand to the touch. No I was not told my hair would fall out in chunks and your insane if you think she told me I would have orange hair right before the holidays and I somehow AGREED to that. Seriously no one believes that nonsense. Again, if you have an issue and a mistake is made, good luck. Buyer beware. read more

Educe Salon - My hair was orange and severally destroyed by this salon It's been breaking off and falling out in clumps. Tara Weeks stylist - Hair Stylists Near Me - Orlando, Florida

I love this salon! The girls at the desk are always welcoming. I get my hair cut and colored by Megan who is amazing! She is super friendly and I always feel completely comfortable telling her exactly what I want. I have never been disappointed leaving this salon. Whether I go for a full color, just a trim, or even a blowout I always love my hair when I am leaving! I would definitely recommend her to both male and female clients! read more

I love coming here to see Chelsea Milligan! She's especially talented with blonde hair in my opinion. I love ash and champagne color blonde and she gets it every single time I come in! My hair is super thick and long (currently 29 inches from root to ends) and she's one of the few stylists I've ever met who doesn't try to bribe me into chopping it all off. I pretty much walk into the appointment and tell her I want "long blonde hair" and she makes it happen! The photo I uploaded here doesn't even really do her work justice because I didn't brush my hair that day and I also took that picture in the shade outside. It's also always nice to see Kristina and Heather while I'm there - they're super fun girls and I love their sense of humor! read more

Educe Salon - Balayage by Chelsa Milligan (this picture does not fully do her work justice as I didn't brush my hair for this pic) - Hair Stylists Near Me - Orlando, Florida

I love this place!! I have been going to Educe for a little over 6 years and I wouldn't go anywhere else! Chelsea Milligan is my go to and she does the best balayage. She is attentive and listens to what I want and it always turns out perfect. There are many other amazing talented stylists in this creative space too-before Chelsea or if she is out of town, I see Kat, And Yanni! I love sitting there watching all of the creative processes flow around me while other clients are done. If you are thinking about switching salons or are new in town- this is the place!! read more

As a girl with extremely thick hair, every new experience at a salon is worthy of therapy and all of the complimentary wine they're willing to offer. What I mean by that is many stylists take a look at my head and get tired. It's really hard to find someone that will provide my curls with a decent cut and it's even harder to get color worth paying premium for because many people just don't want to do the work. Last month, I tried somewhere in Winter Garden, paid $420 dollars when all was said and done and I ended up with stringy highlights when I had asked for a full head of dimensional color. That's when I returned to my tried and true Educe salon where Dawn, who I've been going to for years, finished the job the other stylist failed to do. I was at Educe earlier this month where Dawn spent twice the amount of time the stylist in Winter Garden took to achieve the look I originally wanted and when all was said and done, I paid half the amount I was charged elsewhere. I'm so grateful I found this place. I'm even more grateful that Dawn is communicative, realistic, and always makes sure her clients leave satisfied. If you can't make what you want work under her care, then you probably won't find it anywhere else. read more

Lucy Black is the most amazing hair stylist ever! She's incredibly talented and one of the sweetest girls i've ever met. She did a fantastic job on my damaged colored hair and turned it into a gorgeous long bob with natural color. She's so funny and has such a great energy to her. She's been doing my hair for years and has never disappointed. She takes her time and does research to make sure she's using the best products possible on your hair. read more

From start to finish I had the best experience with Kat and Educe Salon. I initially booked a free consultation for cut/color with Kat, but she ended up texting me and we did my consultation that way. I personally appreciated and preferred that (saved me a trip!). So we set the date and here I am, fresh from the salon and obsessed with my hair. The salon is beautiful and clean, the staff super friendly. Kat was so sweet and I can see how passionate she really is about what she does. She kept telling me how excited she was about my hair and it was making me excited too! I was there for about 3 hours for a cut and double process color. We took before and after pictures and I am so happy with my hair. Kat brought life back to my long, black locks and gave it a vibrant boost of plum. I love how she managed to keep my hair looking healthy, even after coloring. I highly recommend Kat for balayage/coloring and will definitely be coming back to her! I am definitely a new loyal customer - thank you Kat and Educe! read more

Kat really listened to what I wanted and also gave her expert input to come up with a cut, color and highlight that suits me perfectly. Her assistant is, in my opinion, the best shampooer in town, no lie. My scalp couldn't be happier lol. They are both friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The salon itself has a great vibe. read more

I had the pleasure of getting my hair done at Educe Salon. My stylist was Heather, who couldn't have been more professional and friendly. She took her time listening to me and answered all my questions. I have to say, she did a perfect job on the color and my haircut. The salon is very hip and modern, making for a very relaxing and fun atmosphere. I was offered water as soon as I walked in the door and got to relax on comfortable furniture. As someone who's had both good and bad haircuts/colors, this one was top of the line. Heather is VERY skilled stylist who made me look like I was ready for a movie audition. It was one of the best experiences I've ever had at a salon and I will definitely be back. read more

Hands down, Educe Salon is the best Salon I have ever been too, just epic.Thats saying alot as I have lived in NYC for years, Boston as well, and have had some great Salons and Stylists whom have worked with me over the years. Not that my past Salon experiences and stylists have been mediocre or just not great, the salons and stylists Ive frequented in NYC and Boston have been great. Its just that Phillip Rosado, the stylists, colorist, and assistants at Educe Salon are beyond great, they are top notch exceptional beyond being great and the absolute best I have ever experienced and I'll tell you why... I have what I consider very troublesome hair, very thin, fine and on top of that Ive never had great styling skills myself so I'd go get a cut, color at my salon leaving with great looking hair when they were done. The very next day, it already looked nothing like how it did when I left the salon and I could never get it to look that good on my own again. Phillip Rosado cut my hair in such a way as I've never had or seen. It looks great all the time, all by itself! I can keep it simple and just wash, condition, and air dry or take some time when I find it and do a blowout and styling, the way he took the time to teach me, and it looks amazing. Whichever way I choose to do my hair when I wash it, it also maintains the look for days on end, with only a brushing every day. He did such an amazing job on the best cut I've ever had, I've let it grow to a length Ive never been able to keep because my hair was so fine and thin. Phillip and his assistant took the time to teach me to style my hair the way they did and then teach me the right products that are perfect for my hair type and style. Next is color....absolutely amazing with bayalage, the most beautiful blonde I've ever had! Next is atmosphere...very modern, energetic, in vogue, and happy, friendly staff. Educe Salon, Phillip Rosado, the stylists, and the assistants are truly the best, I consider myself lucky to have found them! Should I ever move back to NYC or Boston, I will always come back to Phillip Rosado and the wonderful stylists at Educe Salon. They are worth it. read more

Yanni!! She rocks! Not only is she professional, she's very personable and easy going. She listens to what you want and then gives her professional opinion without trying to convince you to do anything you don't want to do. I definitely had a great experience here with everyone in the salon. Highly recommend the salon, but especially Yanni! Reasonably priced especially for the quality. She'll have you walking out feeing like you're a hair model ;) read more

Educe Salon - Caramel balayage on my naturally dark hair by Yanni - Hair Stylists Near Me - Orlando, Florida

I've been searching for a salon/hair stylist for about a year now and what drew me to Educe Salon is the fact that the owner sends all his stylists to New York once a year for more training or to get the next big new thing on hair!! I checked out Chelsea's work and I love ALL of it! So I went for the first time last week and I was completely satisfied! Maylena who worked with her helped with the color, wash and blow dry; omgeee the best scalp massage during my wash!!!! I will definitely be back and honestly can't wait!! read more

I recently had a keratin treatment done by Miranda and the results are perfection. I have had keratin treatments done by other stylists & salons that just didn't work (a bummer when you're spending $250 + $50 per 1/2 oz. of product) but Miranda knows what she is doing. Will definitely be booking my next appointment with her. read more

I think this place was meant for more than just haircuts. It's a community in itself that has pride and support for the community outside and around it. When I went in to get my haircut today my spirits were broken from some personal things and quite honestly I did not want a guy cutting my hair again because the last one that did at a different salon in Cali gave me blunt 70s bangs. But y'all... Wayne is every word that is synonym to amazing. He's polite, patient, knows what he's doing and what direction he's going on with your hair, and so comfortable to be around whether is conversation to fill the silence, or around a pair of cutting sheers. Faviola was so delicate with my hair wash that I actually noticed the care she was taking and I think that's something worth noting as a few different hair washes I've had in retrospect have been scrubbing hard and pulling hair. I feel dumb writing this but I actually cried when I saw my hair because Wayne freaking killed it. I've been slaying this hair all day today and probably will tomorrow too despite it being ruined by the rain at Halloween horror nights. Ask for Wayne and don't forget to refer me. I'll be back soon y'all! Some pics before the rain came downnnnn! read more

Hands down the nicest and most prestigious salon in the greater Orlando area. It's beautiful, especially after the rennovation and expansion! I've been getting my hair done by Chelsea Milligan for several years now and refuse to go elsewhere. After she did my hair once I havent touched box dye since. (She saved me. Honestly. Truly.) Chelsea and the rest of the salon are always continuing education. She is young, fresh and knows what's current. I don't usually know what I want when I walk in but Chelsea always has me leaving happy. My hair always finishes feeling soft, shiny and light. Chelsea is someone you can trust with your hair and feel comfortable with. 10/10 would reccomend:) Check her insta for proof! @chelseamilliganhair Just make sure you park in an appropriate spot when you get there (check signage). And dont forget to check out the area after your appointment! Mills district is full of culture. read more

I wish I could give Educe Salon more than 5 stars. Chelsea is truly a lifesaver. Last year I got awful highlights from a salon in Miami that cost me more than $500 (imagine chunky gray highlights - yikes). After that experience, a friend of mine referred me to Chelsea and I will never ever go elsewhere. My natural color is a very dark brown and I asked her for a blonde balayage - and she delivered. I literally get compliments on my color every day. The entire team is wonderful and professional. All of the assistants who have assisted Chelsea in either washing or blowdrying my hair have been fabulous. Not only does Chelsea have magic hands she also has a great personality, she has me laughing in the chair the entire time and I now consider her a friend. Do yourself a favor and visit her at Educe Salon - I travel all the way up from Miami to get my hair done! read more

Awesome work! I came in to see Dawn and left the happiest I've been with a haircut. I showed her a few pictures of hair inspiration, and she jumped right in. After an initial cut (using bands to donate cut hair), full balayage, washing, a final cut, and style - I was done! All in all it took about 3 hours, but Dawn did an amazing job and made sure I was happy and comfortable the whole time. Thanks Dawn! read more

Edit in response to the salon's comment: Apple cider vinegar rinses are healthy and a natural remedy for many hair issues. This is the only salon I've been to that made me sign this type of waiver over it and that considers it an "extreme" treatment. I'm sure your right about the risk of interaction with the dye, but I encourage you to let your clients know about this before they make their appointment so they can decide prior to booking if they'e comfortable getting their hair colored knowing they will have to sign a waiver that releases the salon of any responsibility. Please, do send me the waiver. I would like to post it on this yelp review so clients can read it for themselves. Educe is not, by any means, a bad salon. The staff is pleasant. They offer you plenty to drink. I was mainly thrown off by that waiver (I really would appreciate a copy of it) and by the vibe of my colorist when I pushed back on a few things. It may be normal for people to drop $305 at your salon, but that is A LOT of money for the average person. Actually, the average person can't afford to spend that much on hair color. So if we're dropping that much money here, it's because we're doing something REALLY nice for ourselves, and there's a level of customer service people expect when spending that much. ______________________________________ Where to begin. There are so many things that throw me off about this salon: I have curly hair and have decided to wear it natural and never heat style. Instead of explaining why it needed to be heat styled prior to dying, the woman who colored my hair was visibly annoyed when I questioned why my hair had to be flat ironed before getting it highlighted. The thing that really made me decide this is not the place for me is when they made me sign a waiver releasing them of any responsibility (including not fixing my hair if it came out terrible) because I had used an EXTREME treatment on my hair in the last 6 weeks. Y'all ready to hear what the extreme treatment was? An APPLE CIDER VINEGAR RINSE! Can you believe? Rinsing you're hair with a mixture of a table spoon of apple cider and 8 cups of water is an extreme treatment according to this salon. I expressed my discomfort with this and since I wasn't going to get my hair blown out (because I'm wearing it natural), would they fix the color if it didn't come out the way I wanted? She made a snarky remark that that's why I should get my hair blown out before leaving the salon. I explained that in other salons the colorist encouraged me to let it air dry and come back to the salon if the color wasn't right. She had no response to that. Feeling extremely defeated, I told her I would go ahead and get it blown out (At this point I'm paying $300 for these highlights and I can't run the risk of not having them fix it if I leave the salon). I think she must have felt guilty because she then assured she would fix it if I didn't like the color once it air dried at home. I get the sense the colorists/stylists that work here get annoyed with clients that don't get all the trimmings (cut, blow out, curl, etc) and make the assumption we're being cheap. For the full highlights and bonding treatment (to protect the curls), plus tip, I paid $305. That's a lot of money. I'm not naming the colorist because she turned it around once she noticed how utterly depressed I was--and the color came out good. This was my second time getting my hair highlighted with her and I was looking forward to making her my go to colorist in Orlando. But I'm done giving my money to snooty salons and people who feel entitled to milk you for every penny, pressure you to get things done that you don't want/need and then treat you poorly for pushing back. read more

Got my hair balayage-d with Tara. Looks great, but she reshaped it into a lob without my permission when she said she was "cutting the tips." I hated the back being shorter than the front, so I called to get it fixed and the receptionist laughed when I said I was unhappy with my hair. Rude. Also denied me a refund even though I didn't want a reshape in the first place. Went back, got my hair fixed, realized EVERYONE there has a lob so they must assume everyone else wants one too?? Now that my hair is even again, it's much shorter than I ever wanted it to be and I had to cut off some of the highlights I paid so much for. $200 is far too much to spend on hair you're not completely happy with. Tara is really great at coloring hair -- just make sure you tell her exactly what hair shape you want if you're cutting it. Her assistant Nicole was awesome. I probably won't be back. read more

I've been going to Chelsea for about a year and a half after nearly a decade of using boxed red dye, bleach, and Manic Panic. While it can be costly, you pay for what you get and let me tell you, I never leave that salon feeling less than 110% about my hair. In fact, I carry around a stack of Educe cards because I get SO MANY complements on my hair. I'm currently in a vivids faze with dark blue roots and teal ends, and with the right care I've only had to have one touch-up in three months. I came from boxed reds, to IONA reds, to a completely different primary color using Pravana and my hair has barely had to suffer any damage. Any damage it did go through is long gone from awesome cuts and conditioning treatments. While my love for Chelsea and her work is endless, the talent at Educe does not stop there. I've sat and watched many stylists in this family come up with some classy, crazy, and chic do's; I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tinged green with envy every once in a while. This salon truly is a family from the owners to the receptionists, and they treat their clients as such. The atmosphere can get a little crazy, but that's what I love about Educe. Their funky atmosphere, crazy family, professionalism, creativity, and Chelsea will keep me coming back for as long as I can. read more

Absolutely love Suzanne!! I've been with her for almost 5 years if not more. Seeing Suzanne is really like seeing a friend, it makes getting my hair done that much more enjoyable! She also gives the best shampoo/scalp massage! Ahhhh my favorite time of the visit!!! I wish I could put her in my pocket and bring her home so I could have her do my hair everyday. She keeps me up to date and fashionable with new treatments and styles. I've even had Suzanne style my hair for my wedding 3 years ago! She truly has the most laid back attitude and exudes positive vibes! Can't wait to go back to have her work her magic doing some balayage high lights! I would definitely recommend coming into see her! read more

Just updating my review of the salon itself- they were kind enough to contact me and offer another stylist to fix my hair. The manager was very courteous and professional. At this point however, I don't feel comfortable accepting their request. Although I can't recommend the stylist, I will say the salon itself attempted to make it right which is great business practice. read more

Followed Kat Chase to Educe and I am so glad I did. Fantastic friendly atmosphere that is still very edgy and stylish, proving that you don't have to be a snob to run a super cool salon. Also good for those looking for more conservative styles executed with precision and experience. Open concept space and a great online appointment booking site make Educe comfortable and convenient no matter what style you are going for. read more

I was in search of a new hair stylist last year when my former decided to cut back availability. A friend recommended the team at Educe and I chose a stylist at random through an online booking. I was lucky enough to select Mark Rodriguez and he has been cutting my hair ever since. He is not only an accomplished stylist who always gives me a modern cut with a long life between visits, but is personable, professional and an all around great guy. I look forward to my visits and know that when I leave, I will have a haircut that I can be proud of. Book now before it's too late and you can't get in! read more

Absolutely loved this place and how they transformed my hair! Before I even set foot into their salon, Yanni was such a great help! I found her on Instagram and sent her a picture of my hair letting her know my current struggles with it and what I want. She was very helpful. So of course I had to book my haircut appointment with her! Upon entering, the staff there was very friendly and inviting. Yanni talked me through what she would do with my hair before she began cutting. And did she do an AMAZING job on it! Beyond that, I told Yanni how I would love to style my hair but beyond straightening, I have no idea how to. So after cutting my hair, she showed me how to properly blow dry my hair. After that she was kind enough to wave my hair and teach me how to do that as well. She never pushed products on me, but was ready to give me some recommendations when asked. I will definitely be going to Educe salon for my hair needs! read more

I love this salon. It's so chic and modern and the staff is so friendly and helpful. Phillip, the owner, is such a great individual and he has built an amazing establishment. I've learned that the staff at Educe is constantly learning new tricks and techniques in order to better serve their clients and give them the best hair possible! Every time I walk in, whoever is at the front desks greets me and offers me a beverage. This place really cares about their clients and wants to make sure all clients are comfortable and happy. As far as specific hairstylists, I've only seen Mark Rodriguez. He is SPECTACULAR and has been deemed my new, permanent hairstylist. I'm very nitpick-y about who touches my hair and who cuts my hair. I went into Educe for the first time with virgin hair, wanting subtle, natural-looking balayage highlights. Mark was available, so I booked my appointment with him. I asked the gentleman who answered the phone if Mark had an online portfolio that I could look at before booking my appointment. He gave me Mark's Instagram page (@yourwayhair) and I was sold! Mark listened patiently while I explained to him what I wanted. I showed him several different balayage pictures that I found on Pinterest with ideas and he gave me insightful advice about which would be the healthier option and which one I would be most comfortable with since I had never dyed my hair and was reluctant to make a huge change. Mark also gave me an amazing hair cut. He used a technique I had never seen before which made me a little frightened, but to be honest, it ended up being the best haircut of my life-- he cut my hair with a razor blade! Mark is also very friendly and sociable. There was no awkward small talk like you experience with some hairstylists. It was as if Mark and I had been friends for years lol. He has good people skills. I've, since then, been to Educe a second time for a trim and more highlights. My second appointment was as fantastic as the first. And I have my third appointment already scheduled with Mark. I'm sure all of the staff at Educe are wonderful, but I can only tell you of my experience with Mark. If you want someone with great skill and experience, who is willing to give you honest advice, I HIGHLY HIGGHHHLYYYYY recommend Mark, 100%! read more

It was time a for a change and I decided, based on what I read on Yelp, to schedule an appointment with Yanni. I wasn't disappointed! She knows her craft and explained what she was doing every step of the way and she was thorough with the consultation (and actually listened!). She also offered suggestions, some of which I didn't want to go with and rather than get annoyed or do what she really wanted anyway, she instead worked with what I wanted and offered suggestions based on that (of which I did take her up on). She was also friendly so I felt at ease talking to her, something that is important if I am going to be camped out in a salon chair for a while. She did an excellent job with both cut and color and for the first time in a long time, my scalp wasn't burning during the process. I look forward to working more with her and getting into some crazy colors. read more

Love, love, love Donni. Just moved to Fl and needed a new stylist, I was lucky to find Donni and will keep going to him. If your a blonde, or trying to go blonde you should give him a try. I know I won't let anyone else touch my hair. read more
