I was recently referred here by a friend. I'm super picky about my blonde hair and only allow very few stylists to bleach it because I've had problems over the years with people being hasty and over processing my hair. Healthy hair over vanity is my motto! Fauna did an excellent job! I'm coining her a blonde expert! I will definitely return to see her. Prices are very reasonable and the salon has a chill vibe! Book your appointment now! read more

I'm SO HAPPY with how Telsi did the highlights in my hair. She was fixing existing hair color that I did not like, there were super bright pieces for instance that she just had to work with. But she perfectly corrected the issues and made my hair beautiful. Thank you Telsi! *The photo I uploaded is just me on an average day, not any special styling.* I feel like for a busy mom this hair color is amazing because it elevates my daily look easily without a lot of styling. So no this is not me just leaving the salon with a perfect blow out like some salon pics, it just me enjoying this hair color on an average day. Thank you Telsi for helping me out and being so kind, and great at your art! I've never loved my hair color so much. read more

Nancy is one of the best stylists I have ever had. She does blonde on my hair. I can't recommend her enough.

It was a long process but good. My only complaint is that I had bought my tank top the day before and wore it to the salon. It was totally ruined. I paid $60 for it read more

I booked an appointment online, and when I arrived, I walked in and said to the girl near the counter that I had a 4 pm appointment. She replied, okay, said she's coming. A woman approached me and said hi, so I replied I have a 4 pm appointment; she said, what do I want? I said I formerly requested online a cut and perm (it seems strange that before being introduced as whoever she was, she could introduce herself, but that didn't take place the entire time I was there. If it was supposed to be her client, you would think she knew what services I said I made an appointment to get. It's courteous to be introduced and eased in, but that was a backward fail. I don't work in a salon, but I would assume you know the services someone booked online if you were given a client in a salon (I booked the afternoon before). Then I was invited to a chair where I would show pictures of what I would like from my perm (which was a stacked spiral). Upon proceeding, I made it through the rods installed and to the shampoo chair where I would get drenched in water all down my neck and back to do the solution, then neutralize and rinse (which may or may not have been avoidable, I don't know how it happened while I'm laid back in the shampoo bowl, but it did and by a lot). I was given towels beside the one's she had placed. Then she tells me I'm halfway there ("too beautiful," she said, I assume because the rollers were out and the product was rinsed). She sits me up and tells me to go back to the chair (her station). Next thing she comes and starts combing my hair with a fine-tooth comb. . This should not be done ever on permed or curly hair because it causes the curls to break and causes frizz which is the worst thing to happen, and especially minutes after a perm was processed. With permed, you use a wide-toothed comb, but not until 24 hours after a perm. I told her that. She had to borrow a wide-tooth comb from a lady across the room. As if that was still to be used instead at the moment. I don't know if the perm would have been less frizzy or not, had she not used the fine-toothed comb or not, but several times after she went through with the wide-toothed comb, what does she do? She was using the fine-tooth comb again, multiple times and times again. At this point, my knowledge I have seemed not to matter because I put my hair in her unprofessional hands. I didn't know what or how to change what was unprofessionally happening and to my hair. I am not a licensed professional, but I knew these steps weren't supposed to happen. Then she cut and blow-dryed without a diffuser; she didn't have one, I suppose either. Then she asks me when the hair is 40% dry (as in a manner like she is done). "How do I like it?" Omg! Really I said it looks like Ramen noodles and is uneven in the cut. I said I suppose it's not your fault my hair didn't take much curl, but the cut is horrible. I said, what do you do? So, she starts cutting some more. I had to just accept this mess. I am not sure how my hair took the perm is entirely her fault (though her mistakes and lack of care made it worse for sure) or just a product fault (perm solution - I asked her if she was using an alkaline or acid perm, and she proceeded using alkaline on highlighted and lightened colored hair). I do know her lack of know-how and proper care of hair wasn't there. I have read and understand the service given lacked knowledge and best possible results. Even though she still kept positive energy (through multiple mistakes, after it was too late to fix totally, only subtle improvements), I still left her a $20 tip and paid for both services (perm and cut), I don't believe I properly received here at InSignia. I have to advise against her perm skill. Her lack of product to complete the job with ease (wide-toothed comb, hair diffuser, I assume her not having an acid perm, which is recommended for my hair) was a fail, but I'm walking away with my head; down! The experience I described is reviewed so that you may reconsider a likely result! The hairdresser I explained is named Nancy (Vietnamese). I don't dislike her as an individual human being (especially because mistakes can happen, but not from a skilled hairdresser), not because of her personality, but she lacked the skill and care I needed and expected today; as an individual whose confidence and pocket$ were at a lasting loss - BEWARE! This link below informs things done in error, and so will other sources, but what can I do NOW!? https://softerhair.com/aftercare-recommendations-and-products-for-permed-hair/ read more

Was looking for a Groupon for a cut and color, found Insignia and looked up their stylists. You never know what you will get with a groupon! Found Nancy's Instagram and her work was amazing so I purchased and made an appointment. She is amazing! Very welcoming and asked exactly what I wanted (even asked to see pictures of what I was looking for). My hair had been bleached previously and because I haven't kept up with trimming, was DEAD. She made my hair healthy again without taking all my length! Turned out better than expected and I will definitely be back to see Nancy. Thank you! read more

I've been trying for years to have my hair managed/styled as Lee did at this salon. It took a 1000 mile drive from Columbia MO to find Lee at Insignia. I blew out my hair this morning and it came out perfect. (This all coming a former cosmetologist!) read more

First time coming here, loved my cut and color, definitely coming back. My stylist made me feel comfortable and was friendly! read more

T worst un professional place to do ur hair ... never go there ppl ... they changed my appointment from t original one time I had them I come & she has another one & tell me to wait ... what is that ???!!!! Will never use them again ever... never work w a girl called Nancy read more

They absolutely BOTCHED my hair, THEN when i spoke to the manager she was completely rude and unprofessional. When I asked to speak to the manager about not paying full price the manager talked down to me and harshly tried to negotiate. I asked for a balayage and what i got was highlights that i could have done myself with a box of walmart hair dye. The lady who did my hair was rude and talked to me and my friend like we were stupid. The salon ruined my hair and made me embarrassed to go in public. The hair stylist kept making me go outside with a mirror saying that the lighting would make a difference. Stay away from this salon. read more

Telsi Telsi Telsi - there's a reason her name is all over the reviews here! Not only did Telsi do a fabulous job giving me a new hair-do/extensions.. but what she also gave me back was my confidence - and that's priceless. Can't thank her enough! :) read more

I used my groupon today which was 55 for 115 worth of hair studios. Excited to find out this place is down the street from my house. Weird location bc the back faces the street. Once I walked in, the salon looked very nice and put together. No one was at the front desk at the time but I said hi to the first person I saw and she was very welcoming. Everyone was very nice and welcoming and they were able to give me hair mags and something to drink. Lee was the woman who did my hair. She seemed quite knowledgable when I showed her bunches of pics that I liked. It was really nice that she knew what I liked and understood it very well. For all that I wanted she explained how she could do it and how much it would be before hand so very considerate. She did a great job and I am happy that I found a great hair place that I'll be happy to go back to. Also there's one barber for men. He has his own spot and the men have their own flat screen to watch while they get cut. Prices r pretty typical for highlights and hair cut but inthink it was worth it especially w my groupon. read more

Fantastic Salon. Needed a salon that could deal with unruly curly hair. Jessica is awesome in no time she had my daughter's hair silky straight, shiny and bouncy. We were more than pleased. It was great to see that they used top of the line products. The entire staff is very professional and welcoming. This is definitely my new salon in Tampa. read more

Worst blow out ever should not have paid I am thinking of calling for a refund UGH She use a flat iron at the end I mean really I could have done it oh and had to wait 30 min past my appt time read more

Insignia Hair Studio is amazing! I went to get my extensions redone after a horrible experience at a salon in South Tampa. From start to finish the process was great. I had my hair colored and highlighted which matched perfectly with my extensions. Telsi made me feel right at home. I would Insignia Hair Studio to everyone. They do it all! Extensions, color, highlights, Updo! Everything! Short, long doesn't matter. Thank you for a five star experience. read more

Telsi is the best. I've been in the Tampa Bay Area for 18 years and this is the first time I left a salon feeling like I was heard and got what I asked for but better. I felt like she listened and didn't let me leave until I could style it on my own once I got home. I had a special occasion that evening and she offered to touch it up before I go out. I'm so excited I finally found The One! read more

Oh my gosh y'all! I came in Tuesday and met with Telsi and my hair desperately needed some TLC. I honestly wasn't sure exactly what I needed, but I knew the color I wanted my hair to be and how I wanted my extensions to look. Telsi was SO sweet and knowledgeable about personalizing her services to my specific hair needs. Not only was she professional while doing my hair, she was also so kind and willing to talk through everything with me! 10/10 recommend her for literally anything you may need especially color/highlights and extensions. Prices are super reasonable also! read more

This place can be skipped. The stylist did no consultation even though I was a new client. Three different people work on me, and I still had to remind them they were supposed to do a trim in addition to the color. The prices are way too high for the quality of work provided. Save yourself a headache and go someplace else. read more

I've been getting my hair done by Lee for two years now, and I love her! She understands my curly hair, she gives me tips and tricks I can actually use, I get compliments on my color everywhere I go... I can't say enough! She's really become a friend. I've never had any problems....nor have I heard anyone ever having an issue at Insignia. The location is a bit turned around, but so what? Who cares? Once you know where it is, it's easy to get to and its right in the center of New Tampa/Wesley Chapel. read more

Location is hard to find like the previous reviewer stated. I used my Groupon here and had a Brazilian Blowout with Lee. It took awhile but she is a hair genious,! Only wish it were closer to my home. Not sure I will go back for a cut due to location but definitely will return for a blowout! read more

Telsi with Insignia hair salons is one of the most talented beauticians that I have gone to in the Tampa Bay area. Sisters will understand that it is very difficult to find a stylist that is not only highly skilled, but also is also a professional. I have been going to Telsi for over 3 years and not once have I had to wait longer than 5-10 minutes before getting in her chair and I have been out of the salon within 2 hours. As a busy mom with 2 children, I appreciate that I can not only get my hair styled as I like it but I can also do it within a reasonable time frame. I highly recommend both Telsi and Insignia for those seeking a great stylist in a professional environment. read more

Just visited this salon for the first time and am totally satisfied with the service. I got a braidless sew in micro linked by Telsi and I couldn't be happier. The look is fabulous and Tesli is quick and professional. This is a salon with downtown Tampa vibe but close to home and without downtown Tampa prices. Would definitely recommend this salon! read more

Our first and last time here. Extremely professionally passive aggressive. I felt disrespected, demeaned, and downright disregarded in your establishment. I can assure you, this was our first and will definitely be our last visit. Thank you but, no thank you. Tesli, your hair studio came highly recommended. However, my experience or lack there of was definitely an embarrassment to you, your brand and company. read more

My husband & I have been Telsi's clients for years, and she is a hair magician! I've had other stylists help me out when Telsi has been busy, and have not been disappointed. Prices...well, that's kind of subjective. I don't get a lot of complicated services so I'm okay with the prices. Like any salon, I think it depends quite a bit on the stylist. That's why we've chased Telsi around town, because she is one of the best we've ever had. I noticed Yelp does filter reviews, so please, read all the reviews and make up your mind. Don't just read the Yelp featured ones; it seems to give a skewed picture. read more

I get my semi-annual haircut done here by Fauna. She is very quick and does an awesome job cutting my hair.

Telsi is the only one who touches my hair. So happy she opened a salon in Wesley Chapel/New Tampa area so many years ago. This salon is beautiful inside and always feels welcoming! Everyone is friendly and happy!! read more

they charged me $125 for PARTIAL highlights and lowlights (no cut/blowdry)...I even had the cashier double check and she did and that was the price. Everyone is nice and they're ok at hair (nothing special) but I won't be going back at those prices for that money I'd much rather go to a master stylist somewhere else better. Also they will try to upsell you products every time you go not terribly pushy but be prepared. I had been there plenty of times and never paid that much but my tip would be to ask them to give you a quote before they start which they will gladly do ( i just wasn't expecting that ridiculous amt) read more

Just had highlights and low lights(Blonde) done in my hair. Telsi did a awesome job! She also cut and put layers in my hair. I absolutely love my color and cut and would definitely recommend her! You cannot beat the price for great quality you get! read more

I absolutely love this salon! It's not even a convenient trip for me to get there but I refuse to go anywhere else. As for the salon, it's very nice and has a great looking fish tank in the lobby. The people also make it a great atmosphere. Everyone that works there is really down to earth and friendly and know what they are doing. Chelsea is who I go to she has the best ideas and is great at styling! Every time I go in I leave with exactly what i wanted Overall, this is a great salon and chelsea is great at what she does. read more

I specifically inquired whether my hair would incur a surcharge for length or thickness, and was never provided with further information - and after that was, in fact, subject to the charge. I consider it unprofessional not to make this disclosure after I had asked for this exact information. Feels underhanded since I had asked before the service was applied. Furthermore, my stylist almost completely ignored me and loudly gossiped about her personal life to her colleagues. She did not attempt to speak with me or ask midway whether I was happy with what she was doing with my hair. She also gossiped about the business of other customers of Insignia Hair Studio. If she openly talks about them behind their backs I'm sure she'll do the same to me. I really regret leaving a tip, which only happened because I was taken by surprise by the aforementioned surcharge and I acted in a rush. I won't be back. read more

This place is a rip off for what you get. Their prices are rediculous for a mediocre hair salon. I gave the stylist several chances and each time I came home feeling dissappointed. My highlights bled every time. One of girls who does the shampooing was so rude the last time I was there. I kept telling her that b/c I am short the bowl hits the back of my head and hurts. She threw down a pillow and told me "just scoot your butt forward" And then she got water ALL down my back. I am going to try HairStyles in Lutz. Hope to have a better experience there. read more

first, she bleached my ends rather than dyeing my whole head of hair. then, she ended up dyeing my roots AFTER dyeing my ends. she said she would give me lowlights in my roots, fading into the ombré, instead, she dyed ALL of my roots, and now they look orange. this absolutely ruined my hair and i'm embarrassed for the lady who did my hair, i don't know her name but she's the chinese lady who usually works at the front desk, i'm assuming. when she washed my hair, she was moving my head around and pulling my hair. she messed up on my hair MULTIPLE times and i kept asking her to fix it and she would be rude, then make my hair look worse than previous. with the ombré of my hair, she still left brown spots on the bottom of my hair, and then got upset when i asked her to fix it. she kept asking me to go outside to look at my hair and say the lighting would be better, but it only looked worse. she was constantly rolling her eyes when i asked her to fix my hair. then when i spoke to the manager about paying not $170 for my orange hair, she was rude & would not lower the price. I am more than upset over my hair. And, the manager was rude. If you go here, I recommend that if you go, don't go to this women. read more

Please save yourself some time and money. I went for a virgin relaxer. I called in advance, of course, to make an appointment with Telsi. I was told she could perform this process and was confident her skills would be sufficient. Not only was half of my hair left natural, the charge was outrageously expensive for awful service ( the front desk girl did a poor excuse of blowdrying my hair, leaving it in a damp frizz ). Why was she in my hair, you ask? Your guess is as good as mine. And, I too was continuously burned by this infamous flat iron! Needless to say, I had my hair re-permed weeks later by a more competent stylist in Temple Terrace. read more

I'm a basic kind of guy, just need my shampoo and cut. You would think that wouldn't be too remarkable, right? Well, even a simple service like that is remarkable at Insignia. Telsi has been cutting my hair (and occasionally, my beard) for years. It's always good. And the shampoo is great! I have neck issues and Jen really works to make me comfortable in the shampoo bowl, and gives me a great scalp massage that really helps with the pain. I love this place and drive about 20 miles to get there. read more

Great salon with knowledgable, honest stylists who are friendly. I highly recommend this salon for amazing color, extensions, and cuts.

Pretty bad experience. My first times going were ok, but will not be returning after the last one. My appointment for hair dye alone ran 4 hours and 45 mins for a job which should have been 2 hours according to my previous stylist out of town. The stylist kept disappearing with no reason, then would be working on other clients, then stop in the middle of doing my hair just to chat with coworkers. Not only was this unprofessional, but was extremely rough with my hair and sensitive head, pulling out my hair and very rough when washing hair...I have always Identified going to the salon with a relaxing experience. Not this time. Overall way too overpriced. Also the color outcome was ok, but not what I asked for. read more

I had my hair done here for an event and they were great. I loved the ambience! I'd definitely recommend InSignia!
