This is my go-to place for flowers in Gainesville. I stumbled onto them simply because they were…read morethe closest Florist to my usual grocery store. Needed one single rose, with thorns, and no baby's breath or greenery. The bill came to under $4, but they treated me as though I had placed an order for a huge wedding. Subsequently I've found that, no matter how large or how small my order, they treat me like I was their favorite customer, for whom every bit of service was a delight. As to their flowers, I've ordered living flower arrangements sent to hospital rooms, and found them in great shape, even with the usual hospital neglect, after a week in the sickroom. My holiday table arrangement was beautiful, exactly what this picky customer requested -- and it just kept going, lasted and lasted, far longer than I could have expected. Floral Expressions has ample parking spaces, great artistic sense, and lots of choice for people who may want to pick exactly the flowers they want. And oh yes, one thing more: the floral designers all seem to like one another, and even under stress (like the morning of Valentines Day) are having fun with each other and enjoying what they do. If you haven't been to FE yet, give they a try. You'll be glad you did.

I unfortunately had a negative experience with my haircut and blow dry. My stylist was very sweet…read more However, the standard of her service was subpar and I hope she gets the training she needs to be able to achieve this skill. I asked for a trim/cut to remove the dead ends and keep long layers, I informed her I had curly frizzy hair and usually my stylist will cut it after the blowdry. She stated she preferred to cut it wet and informed me she would touch it up after the blowdry, which was fine with me. When it came to the blowdry, it was clear she was not skilled with proper technique to blow out thick curly hair. It took about 30 minutes just for one section when finally another stylist noticed and asked if she wanted help. The other stylist asked what product was in my hair and stated that probably wasn't the right product to use and offered her blow dryer. The other stylist did a section that turned out just fine. My stylist continued on with the rest of my hair, at points I had to inform her the blow dryer was burning my scalp. The end result was a frizzy mess and it was clear I was not happy with the outcome, while her and the other stylist kept trying to normalize it by saying "Oh some people's hair just resists the blow dry" "it's looking so good!" etc. I truly didn't appreciate these comments as I have obviously gotten several blowouts and know my hair can definitely be blown out frizz-free. She also did not touch up the haircut at the end as she previously said she would and I was left with choppy layers that I will have to get fixed. The most disappointing part is that I tried to contact the salon owner three times to have this fixed with literally no response.

If you are a senior, like me, but don't want to look like one with a bad hair style, Rose is the stylist for you. I could tell right away that she would be able to help me with my "bad hair day" issues. This beautiful vintage Salon was very bright with plenty of big windows, beautiful hard wood floors and nice decor. The receptionists were very friendly. I can certainly recommend this Salon, whether you are young or elderly, I know first-hand that Rose would listen to any concerns you might have, or new styles that you would like to try. I am so please with the haircut I got today and know I will be returning to this salon in the future. I gave Rose a well-deserved five-star rating.

Arabesque is a dancewear store located in the back of the Thornebrook Village Shopping Center off…read moreof 43rd Street in northwest Gainesville. While most people who need to know about it probably already do, I am reviewing Arabesque here because it's a fine little store run by a very charming lady who obviously cares very much about dance in our town. Expectedly, most of the stock is dancewear and shoes geared towards girls and young women because that's the lion's share of who buys dancewear in Gainesville and who takes dance lessons. However, both UF and Santa Fe have good dance programs and there's a number of men and women therefore into dance--to say nothing of the professional dance and theatre activities going on in town. What really makes Arabesque is the owner: she's a sweet, charming, woman very interested in the business she runs. I went in looking for a rather specialized article of clothing that she didn't have (a mesh top) and she made every effort to try to track down something to suit my needs. I finally found just the thing by American Apparel, but her willingness to help and friendly approach will bring me back to her store should I ever have need to buy anything they might sell.
