First time here, and I am definitely making more visits to come here! Came here to support my…read morefriend, Donny (and this is not a biased review, just because he is my friend) and let him do his magic to my hair. When I first walked in, my first impression of the salon was how clean it was and Donny's station was so organized and neat (an ocd dream!). Something I admired a lot. I really liked that he explained everything he was going to do to my hair in details, such as texture, cut, style, and what products/recommendations would make my hair look and feel good. He also took his time, didn't rush, was very patient, and did an awesome job to my hair! It feels so healthy and really wants to make sure not only you are happy as an overall client, but that the hairstyle you wanted is what he achieved for you. Which he of course did! I could not stop playing with my hair and the products he used made my hair super soft! I forgot the name of them, but if you don't mind splurging in hair products, do yourself a favor and buy it! Donny definitely knows what he's doing, he's smart, informative, and very passionate about what he does. He definitely did a fantastic job and I highly recommend him!

Everyone in the salon was nice and it was a relaxed atmosphere. I also really liked the aesthetic of the salon. Giselle was really nice during my appointment and listened to what I wanted and gave me some advice as well. She did a great job with the haircut and I love how she styled my hair after the cut. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience and I can't wait to go back to get my hair done by Giselle!

He really listened to the type of haircut I was looking for. He analyzed photos of what I liked and didn't like about my previous haircuts. He thoroughly explained in detail, the way he was going to cut my hair and the result I could expect. While he was doing my hair, I recognized the cutting methods that my former stylist in New York City used, to achieve similar results. I appreciate that Ryan suggested giving me a moisturizing treatment (due to bleaching damage from the past), as well as recommending products to use on my hair at home, in order to regain my hair health. (With no pressure to buy) I enjoyed Ryan's friendly, personality.Ryan is a stellar professional and a talented artist! My hair turned out exactly the way I wanted! (The way I always had living in NYC....the way I haven't been able to get with haircuts in other Florida salons, since moving here a year and a half ago!) THANK YOU RYAN! I have already booked my next appointment with him.

Also super convenient to have foxtail next door (not to mention Kelly's ice cream too!) The salon is nice and has a nice selection of hair products.

We discussed my hair, and what I might like and she suggested some changes. Having left my previous hairdresser after 25 years, I was open to some new suggestions. Marie wanted me to understand what she was using as products, why, and what the benefits of the products were. So she was kind enough to share her knowledge and educate me. We used both some of her new products and some that I had been using. My new hairdo came to fruition. It was actually the hairdo I had been trying to get my previous hairdresser to help me achieve, but it had never happened in the past 2 yrs since I had given her the picture. I am very happy that I found Marie. I also met her daughter, Joann, who was just as sweet as her mom.

Karen is super fun and always does exactly what you want and makes it even better than you expect. She also did my hair for my wedding and I trusted her to do whatever she thought would look good and it was perfect. Jackie is also an awesome stylist specializing in color, cuts, highlights, balayage, keratin treatments, and Brazilian blowouts! She has a fun flare to her style and will add a pop of color or edgy cut if interested! Ember and John are the owners and they are awesome and both cut, color and style. Jenny, Bev, and Siobhan are also great stylists and super friendly every time I'm there. I highly recommend this salon, but you will definitely want to call and book an appointment as walk-ins are less likely to be fulfilled.

Where to start -- 1.) my haircut took over two hours and 90…read moreminutes of it was Courtney blow drying my hair? Like she had to rewet my hair with a spray bottle to blow dry it because the blow dry took so long because she wanted it pin straight and flat even though I told her before she started cutting that I don't like my naturally curly hair blown pin straight or hanging down in my face. I can appreciate quality takes time but... 2.) I asked to keep my length, layers in the back that started at the crown of my head and kept graduating down (lots of layers) and heavy curtain bangs with face framing layers in the front. Courtney took off four inches after we discussed how she didn't see any damage in my ends, one barely there layer in the back, no face framing, and less than a quarter inch of bangs on either side that are crooked. The left side skims my cheekbone. The right side "bang" goes under my chin. Should I have complained right then and there? Probably but then Courtney would have wanted another 2 hours and a chance to fix it and I wasn't letting her near my head again. So I paid (and like a well trained sucker tripped 30%) and went home to find another salon to fix the disaster tomorrow. I wish her well, maybe she can get better with experience and a good mentor that explains that it's about the haircut the client wants and not the haircut she wants to do but as it stands I'd feel guilty sending my worst childhood bully to this salon for a haircut with Courtney and that's saying something because I'm kinda low key petty Adding -- after leaving a review on google the salon responded (you can see in their google reviews) that basically it's not their fault, it's a me problem that they gave me a crooked haircut and they "wished me well". Not even an attempt to apologize, refund my money or make it right in any way. Apparently accountability is another service that Vie doesn't offer at her salon, along with professionalism, integrity and the ability to cut a straight set of bangs.
