Ralph is the best stylist in Charleston. I started with him based on a recommendation and have followed him from a salon in Mt. Pleasant to West Ashley to Kiawah and now to his salon in Charleston. Staff is wonderful and the salon is clean and bright. Wouldn't think of going anywhere else! read more

It was my first time here--I was just walking by for a quick neck cleanup--and the entire experience was fantastic. From the receptionist to Jamie, everyone was welcoming and professional. It was so good that I booked another appointment in a couple of weeks for full service. I highly recommend Largo! read more

Review of Salon Largo: Where Bad Haircuts and Worse Attitudes Go to Die Let's not sugarcoat it--because clearly, this salon doesn't. I came in with long, healthy hair and a clear request: subtle face-framing layers, a trim, a little thinning--not rocket science. What I walked out with? Lopsided ends, visible holes in the cut, and a shape that screamed "weed whacker" over "professional stylist." The attached photo says it all: one side looks like it was cut during an earthquake, the other just gave up halfway through. Zero symmetry, zero style, and frankly, zero effort. But here's the real kicker: I reached out within an hour of leaving. Not days later. Not after "living with it." An hour. Why? Because I fled the salon to avoid a parking ticket (which I got anyway, thanks to their 25-minute lateness), and I didn't want to explode in the middle of their closet-sized, makeshift second-floor sauna. And what did I get in return for voicing a legitimate, immediate concern? Gaslighting. Deflection. A condescending non-apology wrapped in PR-speak. First, they tried to pin it on me--"you should've said something before leaving." Ma'am, your stylist was late, the space was chaos, and I was trying not to publicly unravel. But sure, let me interrupt her interpretive dance mid-snipping and say, "Hey, could you focus more on cutting and less on flailing?" Then came the pièce de résistance: "Take your refund and never reach out again." Really? That's the level of professionalism we're dealing with? No ownership. No real apology. Just attitude, blame-shifting, and a total lack of self-awareness. Also worth noting: No robe during the wash (but plenty of water down my back), No water offered, unless tears of frustration count, And a stylist who looked nothing like her polished headshot and instead gave "rolled out of bed after chasing pigeons." This wasn't just a bad haircut. It was a full-service disaster: disrespectful, disorganized, and entirely dismissive. And if they're confident enough to sign off on that cut, they should be confident enough to put it on their website. But we both know they won't. Bottom line? Save your time, your money, and your hair. Largo Salon may be located on Meeting Street, but clearly, no one in there knows how to meet expectations. read more

I always have a wonderful experience at Largo. My hair both in cut and color turns out beautiful thanks to Ralph. It takes time but time flies when I am in there. read more

I was in town for a wedding and thought it would be fun to get my hair done, I showed Kate what I was going for and she totally got me. She was open to feedback the entire process and we also had a great time chatting! My part was misbehaving at one point and she was relentless until all my hair was perfectly in place. I appreciated her patience and willingness to collaborate. Scheduling was easy and price was perfect. Kate, I actually slept on it last night and it STILL looks perfect the next day!! Brilliant!! read more

In January I booked an appointment with Largo Salon to do my hair for my engagement party. I told them I have clip in hair extensions, they said no problem. I attached photos of multiple messages from them as proof. 30 minutes before my appointment they no only say that they can't see me, but that they don't do clip in hair extensions. I attached photos from their own website to show this is a lie. My poor fiance is calling salons trying to see if someone would fit me in. The party starts in a few hours. I understand that mistakes happens, but the way they spoke to me was so condescending and cruel. Thank goodness that Drybar on (556 King St Charleston, SC ) understood my situation and was able to see me last minute. read more

First time's a charm! Wilfredo greeted me warmly and it just kept getting better! Julia face framed my hair not only with expert precision, but also with tender care. Right on schedule, Wilfredo followed with the best haircut I've had in South Carolina! Discovering Wilfred shared a salon from the past made me feel right at home. From walking to my car and up until I went to bed, I received compliments on my hair. This transplant is happy to have found a new salon home! Thank you Julia and Wilfredo! read more

What went well? Everything! Gabby is amazing. She knows just what to do with my hair - from cut to color.

This was my first time going to this place. I had a few pictures of what I had in mind and Maggie absolutely KILLED IT! I'll definitely be coming back. She was amazing! read more

Largo - Hair Salons Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

I always get amazing service and a finished look at Largo. I've been helped by Ralph, Ethan, Blanche, Drew, and Connelly who are all wonderful. They achieve the look i want with also giving some good input where needed. They're always busy so if you want a specific stylist i recommend booking a couple months if not several months in advanced. I've used the spray tanning booth once which is a great price and gives good color. They're always changing the setup keeping the place fresh! read more

Sam is AMAZING at his craft - he is a true artist! He is patient, listens & takes great pride in his artistry. I absolutely love the dimension he creates in my highlights & base! The products he uses are great, his cuts are precise & blow outs are perfection Love the vibe of Largo Salon & highly recommended both Sam & Largo! read more

Largo - Hair Salons Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

Really disappointed. Would-be first time client. They open at 9am, and my appt was for 10:20am. I arrived at 10am. The doors were locked. I called and called, after 5 unanswered calls, I left a voicemail. I waited until 10:25 and realized this situation wasn't going to magically change any time soon, no one in sight. About 15 minutes later, I get a phone call from the receptionist asking if I wanted to reschedule or if I was on my way. What?! I was standing in 95 degree heat outside the locked front door with no one answering the phone for 25 minutes! Apparently, their "WiFi was out downstairs, so they were on the 2nd floor." As a new customer, how was I supposed to know this? Everything about the website and every confirmation of my appointment said the salon entrance was at 209 Meeting Street. With barely an apology, the receptionist said she can "guide me" to the entrance for the 2nd floor. I was already half way home! The time to give me that information was BEFORE my appointment, not 20 minutes after it should have started. I just moved here, I researched a bunch of salons, picked this one carefully, and I was SO looking forward to getting my hair done for the first time in a while, but I couldn't believe how unprofessional this all was, not even a sign on the door (the MAIN entrance where clients are told to enter) saying to go to the 2nd floor, nothing in the several appt reminder emails and texts, completely in the dark, and no real apology to speak of, no follow up call from a manager. read more

I was unhappy with a recent haircut and Wil made it all perfect! He listened to my concerns, offered some suggestions and cut away to a wonderful styled cut. Thank you, I love it! read more

Made an appointment and my hairstylist was not only late however then said he didn't have any time to do my hair before his next appointment. I wasn't originally offered a refund for the online fee and had to return and ask the front desk for one. This is a shame since I planned my day around this appointment and this is right before my birthday so I was really excited to get my hair done. Now there's no way I can do anything so I just had to leave. It's a shame because I did originally like this place but this experience made me not want to come back. read more

I called beforehand and specifically asked if someone here could handle an undercut. They reassured me that they could. I was seen by someone named Gabrielle. At first, I was pleased with the service because she was fairly nice. However, the next time I went to get a haircut, my regular barber showed me that Gabrielle had drastically expanded my undercut, causing irreparable damage and cutting off years of growth. She also left a large patch of my undercut much longer than the rest. I have hated my hair ever since about a week after the cut. At first, I thought it was my fault, and I just didn't know how to style it. Eventually I realized that no matter what I do, it is scraggly and thin and awful looking. I am distraught. There is no quick fix for this. read more

Brittany was so great!!!! Honestly probably all around from being personable to everything about my haircut and color change to the atmosphere - one of the best hair salon experiences for me! Thank you Brittany!!! read more

I love this place soooo much I cannot say enough. I've been to Lily Jahanbani twice now for hair and the woman is a scissor artist. I have uber long hair that I'm incredibly particular with, and I was nervous to change stylists but now I'd wish I'd gone to her sooner. She also does amazing with styles and can really get my curl to hold. She gives great recommendations on products and tools and is NEVER pushy. Elizabeth Desmond's makeup game is on point. She listened to exactly what I wanted nailed it. I got soooo many compliments. I love this place so much. Also, the coffee is AMAZING and the place has a great modern vibe that I could literally just hang out in. read more

Had a 2:30 pm appointment with Tiffany. Came waited for 15 minutes then I asked how much longer shall I wait? They said another 15 minutes... after 35 mins of waiting they said another 30 mins... long story short after an hour and ten mins waiting I gave up & left. If she was tied up, she could of given a called courtesy phone call to not come wait over an hour... then in the midst they kept mismanaging my expectations until I gave up and left.. very disappointed about how unprofessional this was... read more

It was a disaster. What was supposed to be a simple trim and tone for platinum blonde hair, turned into a chop and unwanted recolor. She came home with only half an inch of hair, with the gaudiest purple hair coloring that would put Grimace from McDonaldland to shame. Please do not go here. read more

It appears my 1 star google review was taken down--Further evidence of this salon's dishonesty and sleazy behavior. BEWARE. I'm reposting this review below in efforts of raising awareness of the nightmare experience I had as a once frequent salon-goer at Largo. Alana butchered my hair and used SCISSORS to cut the edges off of my weft hair extensions, which she tied extremely tight to my head--so tight that I had a headache for the next few days-- instead of loosening them with the proper tools. Why would a stylist cut off hair when I am paying to have MORE hair installed to begin with? I do not know. I held chunks of my actual hair in my hand pointing out "you just cut my actual hair" and she opened the palm of my hand, letting my hair fall to the ground, and frantically said "oh no, that's just the weft". I purchased over $1500 of hair at the salon and I asked them when I can retrieve the remaining $300 worth of k-tips that I purchased over 3 weeks ago now- and they have yet to respond. Another few hundred down the drain at Largo. I've included pictures and videos of the damage Alana caused to my hair, which I've sent to the salon on multiple occasions, but only received a response from salon assistant Connelly after I said I will be writing a Google review. Connelly was defensive and blamed me for the hair which was clearly cut and said "we own sheers that cost thousands of dollars so you would know if your hair was cut." Stunned at the disrespect I was receiving at a salon in which I recently spent thousands and generously tipped every person that touched my hair, I personally made the decision then and there not to return***. No apology or accountability was taken from anyone. ***Plan on tipping every single person that touches your hair at the end of your service an expected 18%-30% in addition to who you booked your service with; their faces will conveniently appear on an iPad at the end of your service. Typically at most high-end salons there is a one-time tipping add-on at the end of your service that is intended to cover the full service (the main service provider will then tip out the assistants). NOT HERE.*** Prior to this experience with Alana. I went to Largo every 2 weeks for partials, toners, full highlights (typically with the owner Ralph) and extension install/move-ups with Alana, as she is the only one in the salon that does extensions. I now discovered the frequency in which I went was not necessary and more so the salon's way of making as much money off of me as they could. The picture of my dark brown roots in the back of my head was after a "full highlight" with Alana. I told her that I wanted all of the brunette gone. She didn't know how to do that and frequently said, "I've never done this much hair before". I became nervous and inquired "aren't you a master stylist here?" to which she quickly replied "well it's just been a while." The service was rushed and to try and make excuses for her terrible job, she asked "you wanted a shadow root, right?" to which I replied "absolutely not." I recall her taking chunks of my hair and putting them into the biggest, sloppiest foils, resulting in orange hair even after the toner was applied. It also took abnormally long (almost 2.5 hours) perhaps because she did not mix the proper amount of bleach? As someone who's been a blonde for 5 years, I've never seen this technique before and for good reason. It was sloppy, rushed and unfinished. Certainly not worth hundreds spent on the highlight. Luckily Ralph offered to fix it free of charge, however at the end I was still asked how much I was going to tip from his wife who checked me out, who quickly added you don't have to, so I tipped him over 100% the cost of a full highlight service ($250) and then was asked what I would be tipping the assistants (for a service that was supposed to be free). I wasn't going to write this review but it just doesn't sit right with me that they are withholding hair I purchased and did not give me the decency of a response as to when I can retrieve the hair. UPDATE: 1/12/24 I have included my last correspondence with the salon on December 28th, asking when I can retrieve my purchased extensions and I NEVER received a response. I do not wish to include my real name for privacy reasons. The salon responded and included my real name in the review, ultimately lying and saying that they have reached out to me when there were no such efforts made. read more

Wow, Im highly impressed by all the employees and staff at Largo as I know it's a tough season - year! I really appreciate their efforts in keeping the salon clean, approachable, lively, and friendly! My stylish Marlee Gamble was amazing as usual always knowing what I want and how to achieve the look effortlessly and with amazing maintenance times and low budget upkeep! She is the master blender and does great with all types of hair and amazing at balayage! I would highly recommend Marlee if you're looking for a new stylist or need someone who can work with your schedule! Always a pleasure getting my hair done as feel like a new woman each time! read more

I have been to Salon Largo a handful of times over the past few years. The salon itself is beautiful and well kept. And every stylist I have worked with has been lovely and professional. This includes my most recent visit with Rebecca. She was amazing! I am so happy with the results of my haircut. I will definitely schedule my next appointment here with her. read more

Quality, vibe, service requested. I left a message for the owner. The hair cut was just awful. Rude stylists, I felt very uncomfortable with the stylist's passive aggressive manner the entire time I was in her chair. When she was "done" I repeated what I wanted. Long layers, thinned out hair. I also repeated it through out the haircut and was told "I know" or "I will get to it". Hair coloring was ok. She walked away as she told me "I guess so" . I calmly said I was done, went to register, ignoring her. She sarcastically states "have a nice day. Another stylist jumped in when I told my stylist not to be rude, voice raised, telling me to take it up with the owner repeatedly. I was horrified and embarrassed. I was told I was late for the appointment. The stylist obviously had an issue with me that I was not aware of during this time. No, I was there at 8:45 am for a 9:00 appt. Door never opened until 9:10, my service did not begin until 9:40am. The receptionist confirmed that I was on time. I would like my money for the haircut and partial tip back before Monday afternoon. As I have an appointment elsewhere to have my hair cut repaired on Monday. I paid the entire bill and tip at the time because I was afraid that the 2 stylists would continue their disrespect of me I if I did not. There is much more details. I expect to get this part of the bill back, but the disrespect ruined an experience I had been looking forward to since I made the appointment. As of right now, I have reached out twice via email to the owner as I was told there is no phone contact for the owner. I sent photos of haircut via email to owner. I now believe that stylist was mad because she thought I was late so it was ok to treat me so poorly. I was even afraid to talk because of her attitude. She became visibly angry when I very politely told her no pictures and kept insisting. Very intimidating.the read more

For someone with crazy curls, it can be a challenge to find a stylist that really understands how to cut and style my hair. I am not exaggerating when I say it took 39 years to be able to leave the salon with perfectly styled hair. But Ralph gets it. He has curly hair himself and is a master stylist. I don't ever want to leave Charleston, but if I have to I'll be flying in for my cuts with Ralph. read more

Largo - Curly hair, cut and styled by Ralph at Largo Salon. - Hair Salons Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

Every few years, my hair stylists tend to move, have a life situation come up, etc., that necessitates me to go back on the market (not the dating apps) and find a new match. I heard from several people that Largo was a great spot, so I made the jump and called to book an appointment with Ralph. I went around 6 in the evening - so right of the gate, I'm happy because it's very hard in towns like Charleston to take care of things after 5, or even after 3 sometimes because of the "island time" culture here. So if you work or are an entrepreneur that doesn't just drink/boat/brunch/plan next weeks episode of drinking/boating/brunching, it can be hard to find time to get stuff done. The assistants were friendly, and the guy helping me legitimately looked like a young Danny McBride and had a good vibe to match. So moving on - Ralph - yeah, without hesitation, dude is an artist/savant. I mean, hot damn, I can get out of the bed and my hair is on point. Over a week later, still on point. So unfortunately for Ralph, we're together now. read more

People that know and follow how important my hair and stylist is. I got to know Largo when they just opened during the last Yelper Party in October. Lisa and Brian, the owner are very energetic and know their way around the business. I opted to get a haircut from Evan. He just moved here from Boston and has a great style. We can use some Boston influence in the South. Great conversation and great cut! Prices are very modest and you get a decent drink while you wait! I'll be back read more

Had previous arrangements with my stylist who moved to work at this salon. Was made an appt at Largo with a few stylist to just be told no one wants to do it THRU TEXT the next day. I was supposed to try and do a trial run for my wedding day hair and makeup just to find out no one is comfortable with travelling for my wedding day. Why set the appointment if no one wants to do it and why should I find out from someone else who works there that no one wants to do it? Very unprofessional in my opinion and I had to scramble to find someone else with 33 days to spare. Explained the situation the saving angel who is squeezing me in to do it and even she was appalled. read more

My hair hasn't ever looked as good as it does now! Since I've been seeing Marlee, the color has been much more natural and subtle. The products she recommended have made a huge difference too- Less frizz and a lot more shine. There's always an upbeat vibe in the salon and the staff are all friendly and helpful. Love it!! read more

I scheduled an appointment with Genevieve for a base color touch-up and left with the worst haircut of my life. I didn't a book a haircut with my appointment but Genevieve asked if I wanted a trim. I stressed that I liked my hair and my length and only wanted my ends trimmed with no more than an inch off. I left with over four inches cut off and short, unblended, blocky layers that look like breakage. She made my hair look thin and left a large gap in the length. My only option to fix it is to cut off more length. It is going to take months to get my hair back to where it was. Genevieve destroyed my hair. I regret booking an appointment with her and would not recommend the salon. read more

Ralph did an amazing job coloring and cutting my hair at Largo. The staff is kind and caring as well. I highly recommend.

One of the BEST things I did for myself in 2021 was book a makeup lesson with Julien at The Lounge by Largo. I've wanted to get makeup lessons to improve my skills for years, and I am SO GLAD I finally made the investment with Julien. My makeup skills have improved SO MUCH, and I'm always excited to do my makeup because I know it's going to turn out great. He will teach you with his makeup, or you can bring your own makeup and he'll work with what you have. This is awesome because you don't have to go out after the class and buy a ton of new stuff. The Lounge is a little hard to find. You access it through the second floor of the parking garage. Once inside, you're surrounded by a very upscale, trendy space that still manages to feel cozy. If you've ever wanted to learn how to improve your makeup skills, I would absolutely recommend lessons with The Lounge by Largo. It was some of the best money I spent in 2021.⁠ read more

Have gotten a few haircuts by now from Sydney - always satisfied - great job!

Steven did the fusio dose haircut on my very dry, damaged, fine hair. It felt amazing afterwards! He also took the time to blow dry my hair and style it really nicely with some products. Scheduling is very easy and I can almost always get in same day or the next day. I've never had a bad stylist here and it's always relaxing and easy to get in. read more

It was my first time getting a haircut in over 3 years. My hair was well past my waistline and became too heavy and too difficult to manage. I was so picky and particular when choosing a hairstylist to cut my hair but I'm glad I chose Ralph. Ralph cut it exactly the way I wanted it and was so friendly! Not only that but his assistant curled and styled my hair after and was also very friendly! Great place to get a haircut, highly recommend! read more

Unfortunately my experience at this place wasn't pleasant. The customer service is awesome, the space is beautiful and I do believe there are good stylists who listen, but I sadly didn't get that with Marley. Should've looked at the other reviews for her, she refused to do what I wanted and when I had to correct her a few times, she assured me it was the lighting and it would look better in daylight. My hair color looked exactly the same when I got done officially after 5 hours it looked as though I got a haircut and a shine. She cut off way too much and I saw no good results I wanted to cry. I was exhausted and just decided to say it was okay and I left after store closure. I sobbed the whole way home for paying almost $300 for a cut I didn't even want with "curtain bangs" that she refused to cut above my chin line and a color that looked the same. We were supposed to take engagement pictures but I decided not to until my hair was fixed. They did refund me, and re-schedule me with someone else they suggested and I just decided I don't want to trust this place anymore to give me what I want. read more

Just had to compliment Ralph, once again, for making me feel like a movie star! Had a very badly needed haircut and highlight done by him last week, and WOW. I have gone to Ralph in the past and never been disappointed. He is THE best stylist in the Lowcountry in my view, hands down! From the cut to the color to the blow-out - AMAZING!! So happy that your salon down on Meeting Street is killin' it, Ralph! I appreciate your talent and hard work! I will be back!! read more

Hi everyone. Just wanted to share my recent encounter with largo. I was called to make an appointment to get my hair done and book to get a facial. The resectionist, Brooklyn, wanted me to allocate 2.5 hrs. to do my hair. I expressed that 2 hrs wouldn't be enough time. I've been getting my hair down for years and know that it takes way over 4 hrs. The day of I expressed to my hair colorist very specifically what I wanted and expect to be done. She expressed she was concerned about the timeframe too but decided to move forward. All I wanted was my roots touched up with baby highlights, the money pieces done and the underneath of my hair done . I was very grown out. The colorist was able to match my previous color but you can clearly see it wasn't blended properly with my previous work and there were spots of brown hair. The underneath of my hair was still brown and slight money piece done to the front of my hair. I attached photos so you guys can see the results of the work and let them speak for themselves. I was scheduled to come back on the next day, just so they can call me and push back my appointment which was already late. Then they proceeded to tell me that they weren't going to fix it. I obviously ask for my money back, they were very nice about giving my money back which made me a little more relaxed but then they rudely told me , " Not get services done here again". So unprofessional to say when they messed up my hair. I've been getting services done at largo since 2019 multiple times by the artist Genevieve, whom is beyond talented! Will be posting a picture of how amazing the work I got done at Largo by her back in 2020 so you guys can compare the work (took a screenshot with the date) . My hair came out amazing I always got so many compliments. All I can say is am super disappointed. I will say I think if the colorist had been allocated the right amount of time to do my hair she could have done a great job but clearly thumbs down for LARGO's management and receptionist. read more

This was the worst hair experience I have ever had in all my life. I went in for a highlight and gray regrowth touchup and Jenny/Genevieve let the highlights on the left side and back of my head process too long and a ton of my hair broke off. I went from approximately 20" hair length to sections that are no more than 2" long. It looks like my hair was chewed off. This is going to take YEARS to recover from and I truly think her license should be revoked. I suggest avoiding this salon at all costs unless you want to potentially leave bald.... read more
