All the staff are very friendly . Meldy is the sweetest and best stylist. she is understanding of a senior persons need to feel special.

This is my new salon! I needed a haircut and eyebrow wax before heading off on a work trip. They had availability the next day, a Thursday, and they're open until 8 pm. Rae and Michelle both did an amazing job! read more

I can always trust the Hair Cuttery anywhere I go in America. And it's because of locations like this because they just take the time and understand your budget and your schedule. I just needed my hair cleaned up from cutting it myself, something I do often. I didn't do a wash. It was just a dry cut, which I'm perfectly happy with because I have curly hair. Cole took care of me and she was so friendly. I'm driving through town and I called and she said come on in! From the initial phone call to getting in and out took about a half hour. I was right around the corner but just so happy that they fit me in. read more

I walked in and was taken immediately with absolutely no wait time. Shay, my stylist, did a great job on my wash and blow dry. It was exactly what I wanted. Shay was friendly and fun to chat with. The salon is clean and the staff very nice. I would definitely recommend this salon. read more

Overall great experience, but a few issues do exist. This store has been without background music for the past few months and the ambiance suffers for it. Apparently, a new sound system was received this past winter but has yet to be installed. Decor could stand an update. Meldy has been my stylist for about two years and is wonderfu. read more

I followed Natalie here when she left her previous salon, and I'm so glad I did. This spot doesn't have a lot of the frills that other salons might - but I'm not paying for decor, I'm paying for friendly service and truly awesome cut, color, and style work. Natalie is a well-experienced professional who is wonderful at understanding exactly what I'm hoping for, making excellent recommendations, and always going above and beyond to ensure that I'm happy when I leave. I've seen her twice (so far) at this location, and it's been well worth the trip each time! read more

Check in, I was very early on my appointment. Mera was very nice and helpful to my hair problems & concerns . I recommend this Salon. I'll go back. read more

Have been a Hair Cuttery client for years down in Miami . Recently moved up north and decided to give the local Hair Cuttery at Butler Plaza a try. Had read the reviews and was definitely skeptical of the service I would get. Today, I was looking to have my blonde balayage toned down from the brassyness. I made an appt with Meldy who was prompt and kind. She took her time with me realizing my nervousness using a different salon. I was very happy with the service she did for me. I will return . read more

Lydia was phenomenal she took us in last minute and did an amazing job!!!!! Well Worth the 1hour drive!

Becca was amazing.. didn't have an appointment and was lucky enough to get in with her. She listened to what I was wanting and did exactly what I hoped for. She is normally pretty booked, but definitely worth going to! read more

Today is my second time here. I wanted to cut my hair short and a bit of a layer. I told the lady who cut my hair. She barely listened and did whatever the way she wanted but in the end, my hair was still the same length. I scheduled on the website 28$ for regular cuts, shampoo, and blow dry. She ended up charging me 54$ and I tipped another 20%. I'm so disappointed. Until now I still haven't received the receipt yet. She said would send it to my email. I feel like I paid money and got nothing done. read more

The first time I went to get a hair cut. I told the girl that the sides of my hair were way uneven but she assured me that I was mistaken. I thought that maybe she was right and it only "appeared" to be uneven due to my side part. I made the huge mistake of returning to the girl again so that she could fix my frost job (it's hard to frost the back of your head when there's not me around to help out. She was supposed to FROST the REST of my HAND R!!! She Did Not. I have no idea what the heck she really did, other than charge me $124.00 that is. *She did NOT frost ANYTHING!!! *She did not FIX ANY of the hair that I had only gotten halfway into the cap pinholes,! *She did not double check the lengths of my hair now that it was wet, the unevenness had JUST been brought up two or three days prior!! The next day, after my shower, I was PUSSED!!! This is when I noticed that she had NOT do ANYTHING I had paid her to do! AND, to add insult to energy, I was able to see just how horribly uneven my hair was!! I will NEVER go back there again. Never. I suggest that you take is advice to heart. Stay Away!... Unless you like throwing money away and having lopsided that is... Be warned. read more

My granddaughter brought in a picture of what she wanted her hair to look like, and Nick was able to make it happen. All the staff we very nice and professional. read more

Do not go to this HairCuttery for a blow out... I went in with curly medium length to long hair for a blowout for graduation and it ended up being flat ironed and I was told that my hair couldn't be blown out with wave because I have grey hair. The worst part is I am a licensed cosmetologist of 30 +years. I thought I was going to treat myself to having my hair done. $70 for a flat iron. Hair Cuttery should be ashamed... read more

This morning at about 10 am, I was at this hair salon to get a shampoo and cut, and I honestly say that I was very impressed with how all were professional, especially Carol, my barber for the day. I have always heard that a haircut can help with improving one's self image, and in my line of work, image is everything. And as far as the $28 spent, it was well worth the price. I strongly recommend this salon for anyone looking for a high quality haircut!! read more

Shanay was great and did a wonderful job on my hair. I've been grey for years so it was a big job and she just got to it in a friendly and professional manner. read more

Shay did a great job repairing a bad hair cut. Did such a good job booked another appointment with her

Don't get me wrong the workers at Hair Cuttery were amazing but I asked for a trim ended up walking out with nearly a bob and didn't realize until I straightened my hair as I was getting ready to go out that my hair is uneven. read more

Wonderful place and Debbie was great! Will be returning for future services that are offered.

Received outst service from Micaela! Will definitely do it again in the future. The place has a very friendly atmosphere.

Just left here with a great haircut Ariel cut my hair and did a great job. She asked what I wanted and cut it exactly. This is rare sometimes. She was very personable and made the time go by comfortably I happened to walk in at a slow time and was helped right away. Thank you Ariel. May the force be with you. read more

Been here two times - with different stylists. Both of them messed up my haircut in different ways. Don't know how to do a men's haircut properly. read more

I admit, I was nervous booking an appointment here because, when it comes to my hair, I usually splurge on expensive, higher-end salons. However, after spending an hour calling around 20+ salons in Gainesville, this was the only place that had same day availability. Plus, all I wanted was a trim and light layers. All in all, I was happily surprised with my experience here. My stylist, I believe her name was Kayla, was very sweet and attentive. She cut my hair to the perfect length and my layers came out smooth and even. I got my hair washed, cut, AND blow dried all for $32, which rounded up to $40 after I included a 20% tip. As long as you aren't going for anything too fancy, this place is a solid backup salon. read more

The salon atmosphere is very nice. I"ve seen one particular syslit a few times and each time I paid $200.00 which includes a tip. This was for a root touch up and a cut. Although I was always satisfied with the outcome, I cannot justify spending this amount of money every 6 weeks. As much as I loved my stylist, I just cannot afford this place read more

Bottom line: my stylist (Jennifer A., I believe) reeked of cigarettes to the point that I genuinely had trouble breathing during my haircut/wash. The salon seemed clean and comfortable, and other clients seemed to be having good experiences. My stylist was told that I had arrived a few minutes early, but after checking the computer, left out the back for a little while. When she called me to my seat, I showed her several pictures and she started the cut. While sitting right next to her, I started to smell cigarette smoke. I don't mean "oh, I could smell that she was a smoker" but rather "she had just returned from a smoke break and may have been carrying lit cigarettes in her pockets". At first, I thought I could just kind of try not to breathe as much when she was right next to my face and that it wouldn't be a big deal. However, the smell was so strong and did not abate whatsoever throughout the 30-45 minute experience. By the time I started having trouble breathing, I felt uncomfortable asking for a different stylist because I didn't want to wind up with a ruined haircut. Regarding the haircut itself, was it exactly what I showed her four different photos of? No. Was it an improvement over what I had before? Yes. My main issue with the cut itself was just that it was rather shorter than what I had asked for, but it will grow out in a few weeks and I'm not the kind of person to be that upset about a bad cut - I can always just shave my head. If the haircut was PERFECT, I could maybe give 2-3 stars as a review. However, anyone with asthma or difficulty breathing at baseline would NOT make it through a cut with this stylist. Cigarette smoking is a personal choice, and absolutely an addiction. I'm not saying Jen A. is a bad person for smoking cigarettes. In some professions, it may be no big deal. In hair cutting, you are in VERY close proximity to your clients. Children and older adults, be wary. Perhaps if you are a smoker yourself, you won't have any issues/concerns. read more

I brought my 2 sons in for haircuts and everyone was very nice. They listened to my boys on what cuts they wanted. Even helped fix a botched box dye job from my oldests step mom. We will forsure be back for any cuts needed read more

Make an appt with Minh! He is a master stylist and is super knowledgeable. I came in with a picture but Minh basically told me no and told me what would work better with my face and my hair type. He has so many great hair tips and spends a lot of time on you and explains what he's doing. He told me that he refuses to cut a client's hair in 10 mins and that it's important to spend time on hair to make it "beautiful" and he would rather cancel an appointment if the client doesn't have that much time. Asian ladies, if you are having trouble finding someone to cut your asian hair right, go to Minh! My total was $31, shampooing/cut/hair dry plus long hair charge ($10). Even though Hair Cuttery is a chain, Minh def treats you like a star! read more

DO NOT GO HERE TO FULFILL YOUR IMPULSIVE URGE TO CHANGE YOUR HAIRSTYLE. Don't do it!!! Just don't! I woke up one morning and said, "you know what? Today I want more highlights" I went to hair cuttery, asked for the Touch of Lights package ($75) expecting to pay around $85 since my hair is a little long. I walked out with fire orange stripes, and $105 poorer. She charged me for a "color melt" that she failed to tell me about until it was time to pay. Wtf is that? Toner? I don't even know She spent 3 hours on my partial highlights. Three hours! At one point I was excited because she seemed to be taking her time. But now I realize she just has no idea wtf she was doing. NOT TO MENTION, she kept me from looking at the mirror for a "surprise effect". Yep I was really surprised. I specifically asked for natural, ashy highlights, similar to the ones that were already grown out at my ends. I said that I wanted to remove the gold out of my hair to make it more ashy. After applying the bleach, she let me sit in the chair for approx 15 minutes. Then once she took my foils out she goes "wow your hair turned real blonde" lolz but of course I DIDNT GET TO SEE THE HAWT MESS. And THENNNNNNNN SHE USED A RED TONER!!!! Red!! Lawd I might not be salon educated but I do know something called the color wheel, and anyone should know that if you want to get rid of oranges, you have to cancel it out with a cool blue or purple. AHHHHHH Long story short, plz do your hair a favor. Don't come here unless you want to be disappointed. Not to mention the hidden tacks onto my bill. I should have fought that. But I was so reluctant to get home and YouTube "how to fix brassy highlights" that I just paid and vowed to never come back. And if you still want to come here after hearing my story, (because let's face it, the prices are friggin cheap) here's what I recommend you do: Call the shop, ask who has been there the longest, and schedule an appointment with that person. read more

Becky was delightful, professional, charming, witty, and just plain cheerful. I had every confidence that I was in capable hands and that Becky can be in charge of my hair for the foreseeable future! I was thoroughly pleased w the service I received from Becky. read more

This place was a total ripoff. you're better off going to an actual salon. I paid for a hair treatment which was practically shampoo and condition and then she told me she would have to blow it out to make sure it came out perfect. when she rang me up for the trim it was 80$! 15 extra cause I had long hair and 45 for a blowout.... read more

They were wonderful, just wonderful. I was a little intimidated at first, as a transgender woman in Florida (even if it is Gainesville), but they made me feel so welcome and beautiful. I was truly touched by their work, their professionalism, and their heart. read more

I am not local and needed someone to cut two boys hair while in town. I called a few other places that were unable to get us in but the ladies here said they'd squeeze us in between appointments. We walked in and were greeted by three people. The ladies were so nice here and welcoming. I have a 2 year old and an 11 year old. Both boys were treated so nice by all the ladies. My two year old was having an off day and they were so understanding and accommodating. I loved how they worked together to help me so he was able to get a cut. I live over an hour away and now we might just be driving over whenever we need to get their haircut. This was one of the easiest, quickest, most pleasant haircuts we've had yet. If the ladies who cut Braxton and Timothys hair are reading this thank you for being such nice humans. I appreciate it! I would recommend to anyone with kids! read more

I love the haircut! Becky was warm and caring and gave me exactly what I wanted.

I got a great haircut and color treatment. I also received great beauty tips and fun conversation. The whole crew there is too notch.

My boyfriend went in with very long hair, past his shoulders. He likes his length, just wanted a little off and out of his eyes. He walked out with practically a buzz cut with a poof ball on top. He showed his stylist, an older lady, a picture that she said was not compatible with his hair type despite the fact that the man in the picture looked to have exactly the same type of hair as my boyfriend. He asked her what would look good if she couldn't do the picture and she just said "idk". She washed his hair twice, was very harsh with pulling his hair, and didn't really ask him anything before taking off like 6+ inches. He tried to be polite and start conversations with her but she ignored him and was instead talking to her next hair appointment. We just wish she would have said that she didn't know how to do longer men's hair, because we would have understood and gone somewhere else/found something else that was more along the lines of what he wanted. He's not one to complain, so he just left and gave her a $6 tip on a $26 cut that he hates to which she replied "oh ok" with an attitude. This also isn't the first time my friend group has been here and gotten a bad haircut from this stylist. read more

BEWARE! I didn't want to write a review until I gave this place a third try. My 1st visit was a walk in. I am African American with virgin 4C hair. Tanisha did my hair; wash, deep condition, and soft blow out. I was very pleased. 2nd visit, I made an appointment and told the person on the phone I am AA with virgin 4C hair. I was given Reynada (or something like that.) WORST PERSON EVER. Just because a person is black does not mean they know how to work on black hair. She washed my hair, did the condition, and started to blow dry my hair. She proceeded to make a scene in front of the other stylists and customers/clients by saying that my hair was in such bad shape, it is uneven, needs to be cut, etc. Then starts the dramatic acting, "I CANT DO ANYTHING WITH THIS... I MEAN LOOK AT THIS. I CANT EVEN RUN THE PICK (on the blow dryer) THROUGH YOUR HAIR WITHOUT IT FALLING OFF!! UGH, IT FELL OFF... (she bends over and picks it up and puts it back on) UGH, IT FELL OFF AGAIN. I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO! *sucks teeth*" She asks the guy next to me, who is working on a client, what should she do, he gives her a suggestion and then here comes the drama again, "UGH, ITS NOT WORKING, THE PICK JUST KEEPS FALLING OFF! YOUR ENDS ARE HORRIBLE AND NEED TO BE CUT." I explained to her that I just had my hairs cut. So I left there and went to another beautician who works with natural hair and said THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY HAIR!! Six weeks later, I called to make another appointment (I don't live in Gainesville,) and they suggested sister dramatic again and I told them ABSOLUTELY NOT. SHE EMBARRASSED ME WHEN I WAS THERE LAST TIME AND I DID NOT WANT HER TO TOUCH ME. I will set her straight if she comes to me. This time they paired me with Kayla and she had no problems doing my hair. She even said she enjoys working with my type (4C virgin hair.) So 2 out of 3 visits were good, but I would suggest that Ms. Drama get some training on being personable and warm. She also needs training in tact...barking or talking so aggressively to customers/clients is not good for business. read more

Not sure why there are so many negative reviews. I've gone here several times over the past year and have seen different people almost every time. Not once have I been disappointed! While I usually go just for a cut and blow dry, they always do a very good job and don't take forever like some other places I've been to. Will definitely continue going! read more

After hearing about Minh from not only Yelp, but also a friend as "the only hair stylist I use now" and in dire need of a haircut, I decided to try the place out. Minh definitely knows what he is doing. The moment he sat me down, he commented on my last hair stylist (who I knew wasn't good) and how about she only touched up the top layer and did nothing for the bottom. The advice he provided was also soundly based. For instance, I originally considered a short cut, but I was worried about the thickness of my hair and having it "poof" out. He told me that due to the volume it definitely would not be a good idea, unless I had an hour of my day (30 minutes at best) to flatten my hair. I appreciated the insight because I definitely do not have that time to spare. Ended up having a wash, treatment, 4" cut off", and blow drying, which cost $48+tip [cost extra because I have very thick long hair and the treatment]. Overall, it took an hour from walking in the door to leaving. I wasn't really satisfied when I walked out the door, but my boyfriend did like it. Now, a week later, I can say that I'm definitely pleased with the way it turned out. It falls nicely, flatters my face, and is so much lighter and airy! He's not the best stylist I've had, but he's definitely one of the better, so I would recommend him if you are in the Gainesville area! read more

I wanted Minh, but apparently it was his day off. So I did the stupid thing and took the next available stylist. She was professional, but standoffish in a not-cool way. It was as if she really didn't want to be there and while most of us feel that way at work at times, when you're in the customer service industry, it's better to keep those feelings masked. She talked me into a protein treatment for my hair, which did make it feel soft, but no softer than my hair normally feels. She layered it and was berated nearly the whole time by another male stylist who was just sitting around watching. She took off way more than I had asked. When you say "I'd really only like a trim with some additional layers thrown on top" you shouldn't have 7" of hair plop down on the ground. If I go back, I'm definitely making an appointment with Minh. read more

I have long hair, thick and a lot of it. Asked for a trim and a bit of layering. The stylist also asked if I wanted shampooing (not sure how much more that would have been) and blowdrying which I did get so it was a total of $28 + tip. Just the haircut alone is only $13. I didn't have to wait at all, walked right in without an appointment and was served. The stylist was very competent and professional. Location is convenient in Butler Plaza near Barnes & Noble and Target so parking is easy, too. read more
