I had a very upsetting experience at this salon as a first-time client. I booked an appointment to…read moreget my roots done and was genuinely looking forward to having a little time to myself as a busy mom of two. When I arrived, I had my two-year-old with me in a stroller. She was calm, quiet, and watching a movie completely unbothering anyone. The salon itself was nearly empty, with only one other client present. Instead of being welcomed, I was immediately met with a very cold and judgmental attitude from the front desk. I was looked up and down, along with my stroller, and told in a very rude and inflexible manner that children were not allowed and that I would either need to leave or reschedule. As a mother, it is not always easy to find time for self-care, and I made the effort to come in for this appointment. The lack of empathy or basic courtesy was honestly shocking. There was zero attempt to accommodate, problem-solve, or even speak kindly. To make matters worse, I was charged $75 (50% of the service) simply for having to leave despite the fact that the situation could have been handled with basic human decency and flexibility. I do want to note that Desi, the hairstylist, did try to be kind while witnessing the way I was being treated, and I appreciate that. I understand this situation was not her fault. However, the overall customer service and experience are a direct reflection of the business she represents. This was the first time I've ever experienced something like this at a salon. I left feeling embarrassed, dismissed, and frankly, discriminated against for being a mother. I will not be returning, and I would not recommend this salon especially to other moms. There are plenty of places that treat clients with respect, kindness, and understanding. This was not one of them.

I got my Hair glaze and blowout because my hair was turning into that undesirable orange/reddish…read morecolor after having gone through multiple rounds of highlight/lowlights and color bleaching in general. Meiling was quick to diagnose I needed a nice ash medium brown to tone everything down and add some shine while at it. She did it so quickly and efficiently I kind of doubled on how well it would turn out but I was so stupid for questioning her godliness! Once my hair was washed and blow-dried, it was the awesome dark medium hue I've been fighting to achieve for the past 1.5 years. AND it had nice shine to it. Both my Mom and daughter complimented on how shiny and healthy my hair looked. Will be back for more future glazing by this professional.

It took months of research to find the perfect stylist and she is the definition of perfection. Her honestly and knowledge of facial framing and color tones, helps with any style to suit your individual look. She guided me to the right warm tones for my dark hair color, which was virgin hair. So to say the least I walked in a bit nervous and left with the biggest smile on my face and holding back tears of joy. I haven't felt this beautiful in a long time, and thanks to Mei-ling, she sparked that light that I much needed.

I've been a loyal customer of Monaco Salon since 2017 and have been Damaris's client since 2018…read more She is so good that I followed her to the Bay to Bay location and back to S. Dale Mabry. Damaris is so friendly and personable. She really pays attention to my hair needs and will make recommendations accordingly. I have Alopecia Areata and an Autoimmune Thyroid condition so I deal with hair shedding/fall-out and texture issues from time to time. She has helped to make my hair look healthy, full, and shiny. My needs are usually very simple. Long hair with gray root coverage. Although I did have balayage for several years. It looked really nice, but I use infrared saunas often and it can sometimes be drying to the hair so I've let the balayage grow out since. Whatever your hair needs are, give Damaris a try. You will not be disappointed. They are a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for.

Very friendly staff, on time service, and beautiful result, but not what I asked for. I went in and…read moreselected a picture option from their menu that showed big bouncy curls, with the description of brush blowout then pin curls immediately following. However my stylist Jade had a straightening technique before pin curling to ensure it doesn't fix. This completely solved the frizz issue but unfortunately did not hold curl as well as my hair usually does so I wasn't able to achieve the desired look. I would still go back because the overall experience was great! Just beware of parking - no free parking $4-$10 per hour.

I've only had my hair hold twice and those people no longer work in the area, so it was a bummer, but cute place! If your hair holds curls, or just want an easy blowout, I'd say stop in!

The stylists were so kind and helped me immediatly to find someone who could take me ON THE SAME DAY!! I ended up having Danis cut and style my hair and I just want to say AMAZING JOB!!

It was storming that night and they gave me a shower cap - they made me feel so special for staying late. I would HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone.

It is a bit hard to…read morelocate, but the building is very nice once you find it and they have a coffee shop (Buddy Brew) inside! The salon itself is small and private with only two hair stylists. The stylists each only take one client at a time so you are always receiving undivided attention. Reid did an amazing job with my keratin treatment! He is very detail-oriented and super friendly.

I was excited to try this salon. I made an appointment last week. Earliest was today at 1. I live…read morein South Tampa but the hairdresser I wanted was in Seminole Heights. They told me if I did not cancel the day before I would be charged so I needed to hold appointment with my credit card. I got there 15 minutes early and the sign on the door said they were closed. There was a number to call. . When I called that number I was told all the appointments were moved to South Tampa location. Would not have been a problem if they had texted but they did not! I feel like receptionist was trying to gaslight me! She insisted they texted me. They did not! At $4.50 a gallon that was a waste of time and money! They can charge for no shows but screw the customers!Too many choices to put up with their lack of consideration!.

To be honest, I was a little jealous that their new location was getting so much love on their instagram. I felt like the first kid and the new baby was getting all the attention. I understand why! They picked the perfect spot to bring the aesthetic and vibes or GP, but make it Tampa. Alright, the important stuff. The hair. As expected, I got the perfect dry blowout. I love that they used the flat iron technique because it ensures longevity, especially on a warm day. I kid you not, I feel like a new woman when I leave GP. They always listen to what I want and I leave with the exact look I wanted. Waves with straight ends that make me look playful but polished. Can't wait to come back!

Unfortunately, the haircut itself was extremely upsetting for me. I have had bobs before and felt confident going into the appointment. I showed a reference photo and asked for a specific length, but my hair was cut at least 2-3 inches shorter than requested (which is INSANE for a bob) and the result looked nothing like what I asked for. It has now been about 2.5 month (months!!!!), and I still feel genuinely uncomfortable wearing my hair down. Ive been wearing it up worn a ton of hair pins. It's too short to even put into a ponytail, and it's been difficult emotionally to adjust to, especially knowing this wasn't what I consented to. Hair grows back, but that doesn't take away how distressing this experience has been. I feel so awful looking at myself in the mirror... I appreciate how professionally the situation was handled afterward, but I wanted to share my honest experience so others can be very clear and cautious when discussing length, as it can't be undone For reference adding photos of what I asked and a photo of what I got. You can see why I'm still feeling so awful about it and it's been 2.5 months.... how can somebody be so so bad at their job???!!!!
