This place is wonderful! The staff and service went above and beyond! I booked Drybar 4 weeks in advance and they cancelled me the day of my appointment. I was attending a wedding and didn't pack any product or hair dryer. Luckily Lordis Lofts was nice enough to squeeze me in and do my blow out. Thank you again!! read more

I booked an appointment at this salon for a special occasion, and it was an incredibly disappointing and stressful experience. I scheduled an updo from 11:00-12:00 and mineral makeup from 12:00-12:30, planning to be in my dress by 1:30 for a formal event. I explained clearly what I wanted for the updo, but the stylist admitted she didn't know how to do it and began watching YouTube tutorials to figure it out. After several failed attempts, I ended up with a loose, braided style that I could already feel falling apart. It was now after 12:30, and I hadn't even started my makeup. Even though I had booked my makeup with the owner, she began working on someone else's hair and passed me off to someone clearly inexperienced. All I got was a quick base of foundation before I had to leave at 1:15--with no finished hairstyle and no completed makeup. I paid for services I didn't receive, and all the owner offered was 50% off. I had to rush to throw on my dress and completely redo my hair and makeup myself in 15 minutes just to look halfway presentable. Absolutely unacceptable. Don't waste your money or risk your special day here. read more

In town for my son's wedding, I had the first appointment of the day with Kayleen. It was a relaxing, pleasant way to start my day. She did a fantastic job using the right product to get my straight flat hair into loose waves. My style lasted through outdoor wind, dancing, and still looked great the next morning after sleeping on it. Thank you! read more

I had to give a star, this place deserves NO STARS STAY AWAY!!!! I made an appointment for 2 blowouts in January. They didn't have them. After numerous phones calls things got straightened out. They can't make an appointment & when you do they mess it up Hours of the salon 9-6. Get there Saturday at 9:45am. Locked/closed. the massage therapist shows up, tries calling the owner-linzie. No answer, now we are 4 people waiting. They finally get the doors open 10:03. We all left. I also told the hotel who recommended this place to stop recommending read more

Linzie is amazing.! After the previous salon absolutely messed up my hair, I went to Linzie knowing she'd be able to fix it, as she knows how to achieve the looks I want from previous experience. She's super professional and detailed when it comes to doing your hair, she makes sure you're heard and confirms with you the look you want, but she sure knows how to keep you occupied in the chair lol she is the funniest.!! read more

Lordis Loft Salon Spa - Hair Salons Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

Great spot in a great location downtown. I took the family to Charleston for a spring break road trip in 'spa mode' and I always look to Aveda salons being a Minnesota guy from way back. We all have long hair now so it's fun to go to a salon together. I was able to get us in two at a time. The staff are super friendly and professional, and my stylist Alexis even let me know when a service would cost extra so I could decide. Emily was also great. Turns out the state Aveda brand ambassador also works here so we had a delightful chat after all were done. Kudos to y'all, highly recommend! read more

my mom and I got the most terrible haircuts of our life I literally hated it so much I got extensions after growing my hair for a year, now I'm on a whole new hair journey, my mom bangs that got cut were actually laughable, weeks later I just think about it and it makes me so pissed thats why Im writing this review and my hairstylist that I usually go to was actually shocked as well actually makes me sick read more

LOVE LORDIS LOFT Aveda salon! Linzie works her magic like no one else in Charleston. She is so professional and devoted to her clients. Comes in early, stays late and is beautiful inside and out. read more

My experience at this salon was extremely disappointing. For my first appointment, the owner arrived 40 minutes late without any communication, explanation or Apologies. My second appointment was never confirmed, leaving me to arrive and find no one available. Hoping for a better experience, I gave them another chance with a third appointment, but this time I (along with other customers) were left waiting outside on the street for 30 minutes with no one to open the door. Furthermore, the OWNER (Linzie Davis) who was confirmed as my stylist, NEVER SHOWED UP!! Keep in mind.. I came in earlier that week to confirm the appointment with her to her face! The utter lack of professionalism and consistent disregard for my time has made me realize the unreliability of this salon. I will never be returning and will never recommend it based on these experiences. read more

Sarah is amazing. I have had color and cut services with her. she takes her time to ensure amazing results. such a skilled professional. staff is also great, they stayed 2 hours past closing to accommodate my schedule read more

This salon upcharges for everything. I made an appointment for 11:45 and had the email to prove. They called claiming it was 11. Then changed my stylist to one less experienced but weren't changing it he cost and then wants the charge for a full new color when all I needed was roots. They charge $80 to touch up Kia t your top roots. Ridiculous. Do not recommend at all. read more

Dedicated staff and owner, truly care that you leave feeling beautiful. Amazing scalp massage and most comfortable shampoo bowl setup ever. Also great vegan hair care. Thank you Linz!!! read more

Sarah, at the West Ashley location, was awesome! She listened during the consult and then delivered a great cut! The salon is beautiful too!! Highly recommendeded. read more

Traveling from out of town to enjoy a few days in Charleston, and didn't have time for a much needed root touch up before the trip. Linzie expertly matched my color, and she was so kind and lovely. And Sarah gave me such an amazing blowout with beautiful waves after my color treatment. The salon itself feels like a welcoming, calming "zen den" and I will definitely come back on future trips! This is definitely a Charleston gem. Thank you! xo read more

Well my review has been hidden for some reason, but to answer the response of "why didn't you contact us to get it rectified, I stated in the review that I did contact for a refund on the $200+ bill, and managed to get a $50 refund after the unbelievably rude and childish manager acted like I was trying to go in with a ski mask and rob the place. He even had the audacity to suggest I come again to get it fixed, at full price lol. Y'all are really lucky that Yelp is for whatever reason hiding the sincere poor reviews of your shop. The amount of people who are complaining about wanting blonde hair but it turning orange and then getting some absolutely terrible excuse from the worker should probably be some sort of hint that maybe it isnt everyone else who wrong, and that you may have a little bit of a disconnect between your level of skill and the price for your service. If yelp's review system factored in these hidden reviews, you guys would have 2 stars overall. Please consider that instead of coping so hard with these massive responses that say nothing of value. "Apparent confusion" hahahha that's so rich. read more

This place is amazing! Just walked out from the best blowout I have ever had. Sarah worked magic with my hair and I left feeling a thousand times better than when I walked in. Plus she gave me some awesome tips on how to style my hair. Michele, working front desk, was a great conversationalist and certainly added to the experience. Don't hesitate - just go and see Sarah. read more

Just want to say a big thank you to Michele who got me in for an very last minute appointment. I needed to get my hair and makeup done for a wedding. Michele was so kind and understanding and worked his magic to get me in the same day. Alexis was very patient and guided me through what would be the best look for me. She did an amazing job on both my hair and make up and is very talented. The location is great and the salon is really beautiful with a great vibe. Will definitely be back the next time I am in Charleston. read more

During my vacation to Charleston, I had a wonderful massage with Philip. He was extremely knowledgeable and thorough. It was just what I needed after a long car trip. read more

Whenever I am in Charleston, I always go to Lordis Loft! They are Fabulous. I am from New York, and they are better than many of the NY Salons. Service is amazing, friendly, professional. They listen to what you want and need, and deliver. Michele at the Front Desk took my appointment and greeted me so warmly. Love him. Alexis gave me the best shampoo and advice for my frizzy hair. She gave me the best treatment and blowout. I relaxed and had a great experience. I left feeling beautiful and great. read more

What a wonderful all around experience. From my first call to book an appointment as a new client until the moment I walked out of the salon - just amazing service! Salon owner and spouse are good people that have built a solid brand with their two locations. Professional and welcoming environment. Upscale and chic! My stylist - TARA - where do I start - sweet and so talented! Hard to find a true artist in the industry - she is it! Can see in her face when she sees the magic she is about to create. Tin little ball of awesomeness! Thank you for matching my vision with yours for an outstanding result. Looking forward to my next appointment already! read more

Denise is great! She is super thorough and makes sure you get the haircut you want. This is the best place I've been to downtown! 38 bucks for a great haircut and shampoo on King street. Cant beat it! read more

Amazing facial! My skin was having a reaction to something (heat? Drugstore sunscreen? Maybe a combo?) Linzie put together a calming cocktail of masks and treatments. It was all so peaceful and healing! If I lived in the area, this would be a regular thing for me! read more

My friend and I went for blown dry and formal style. We had two different hair dressers . One was excellent. The other was very bossy and in a hurry. read more

Wow. I made a short notice appointment with Sarah and was so glad I did. I needed some added confidence for an interview in Columbia but wasn't sure what that would look like. Sarah listened as I told her about how my thin hair would never hold a style. After the blur of styling, all I could see was totally new look and got a job offer. I'll be coming back even if I'm working 2 hours away! read more

I will preface this by saying, I don't get my makeup done by others often. However, I've had it done in the past (wedding, trial run throughs, friends weddings) and there is a level of professionalism and sanitation that takes place, that was not evident in the least at this salon. I had my baby shower and my sister thought it would be a nice treat to not stress before hand getting ready and get pampered and have my hair and make up done. The stylist who did my hair was wonderful, super chill, and did a great job. My makeup however was awful. Not only did she not know how to correctly apply makeup, or match makeup, she spent the majority of the time insulting me by talking about my aging skin and then talking to me like a two year old while giving me a tutorial on how to apply make up. Which she failed miserably at. She spent an entire 15 minutes priming my face...then used 5 different shades of foundation to mix together to apply- told me the look I wanted to achieve wouldn't work because I'm aging..what in the world??? I literally just had this done for my wedding and looked lovely and yet this woman's incompetence for her profession was not accounted for but instead chose to insult me. She used the same one brush for every color on my eye she applied, trying to highlight under my eyebrow but bc she used it to apply brown eyeshadow instead created a brown streak under my brow..when I commented on it she told me twice I was wrong and I said , I can clearly see it's brown- so she then applied rubbing alcohol to my face to remove it and said " nice catch". WTH? It's when she pulled out a hot pink blush after I repeatedly told her that would not look good on me- I like natural tones please don't and then told me I'm too old for shimmer- but then applied the hot pink- the Rose color from my own palette and then SHIMMER from my lips up to my cheek bone that I completely lost all confidence in her ability to do her job well. My baby shower started in 20 minutes and I had been there for 40 minutes having the worst time of my life until I just said I would do it myself and started over. Needless to say, my sister had a very similar experience, and we ended up paying for a service that we didn't receive due to booking with a professional salon that doesn't employ professional/knowledgeable people. I feel terrible my sister wasted her money on this- it wasn't relaxing or helpful on the day of AND- whatever she rubbed on my face for 15 minutes and the unclean/unsanitary brushes she used had my face in a complete full blown rash about an hour after and it hasn't gone away. Merely gotten worse in the last 48 hours. Whatever you do, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON SERVICES HERE...the two women who did our make up were unqualified for their jobs and took zero accountability for their inability to perform a given task and made no attempt to resolve the situation in a customer service manner. My "artist" quite literally had me on the edge of the seat, not letting me out of my chair while I explained I was done with this session and would do it myself and got confrontational and I was about ready to throw hands. Save your money, save your time, save the stress and just pass on this place completely. read more

I booked a consultation for a perm at 4 pm, which is what it said in my confirmation email, but on my online account, it said 10 am. When I called the salon to ask, I decided that I'd rather go elsewhere to do my hair, because the person answering the phone, Michelle, basically talked to me like I was an idiot. Kind of tired of people in the service business who are not truly service-minded. I find it interesting when reading the reviews on here that several people have commented on the same thing, yet nothing seems to have been done since this was my experience as well. If it were my business, I would address it - at least if several people seem to have had the same experience (they can't all be picky, hard to please customers), but it seems like every response from the owner is defensive. Not a good way to do business in my opinion, so I decided to take my business elsewhere. read more

I would not recommend this salon! I had an issue and required a refund. Still waiting on that refund and the guy who schedules Michelle" is so incredibly hard to talk to and (dare I say) emotional. If you aren't sugary sweet to him he gets his feelings hurt! Really? Isn't this a business? I'm not asking for a favor , I need a refund for services not provided. How about lets behave professionally? read more

I had the worst experience here that I have ever had at a salon before... KEEP IN MIND THIS WAS 2 YEARS AGO. Sarah did my hair at Lordis. I'm sure when they see this review again they will reply with the same snarky reply they did before... however... I was dirty blonde/brown and I asked to go an Anna Nicole Smith color... I was there from 3pm-12am. I also let my color grow out dark blonde after my horrible bleaching experience here, and when I went back to my old salon, (Largo) I asked them to do the same bright blonde, it took her 4 hours and was around $250 I believe. Lordis tried to charge me over $800 for doing overall blonde. I do understand that the price rises according to the hours you sit in the chair... but to me this felt like a way to get more money... there is no excuse for it taking that many hours and looking that yellow/streaky/awful and crunchy soon as I left. when I went back to my old salon they said they actually felt bad for me. I also had another lady message me a couple of months ago saying she wish she would've read my review before she went there because she had the EXACT same experience.. I will be keeping her name anonymous. I think that this salon would thrive without Sarah and Michele. every other employee here has amazing reviews! read more

Let me just tell you!! If you're looking for a new salon, Tara is AMAZING!! Very knowledgeable, friendly, just an overall great hair stylist!! I'm really picky & she definitely put me at ease. Definitely gained another client read more

I was in desperate need of a dye job on my hair after I was given terrible highlights at a different location. I made an appointment for the same day and was looking forward to fixing my hair. I had Tara, who was very nice and seemed to know exactly what I wanted. I was told I would need corrective color to fix the previous work I had done. Tara ended up just dying over my previous color and not lifting any old color off or doing anything "corrective". In short, you can still see the orange highlights through my new hair color. Tara also ruined my favorite shirt by somehow getting dye down my back. After paying extra for a corrective hair color, I am still not completely pleased with my color and am upset that my shirt has hair dye all over it. I will not be going back to this location. read more

Whoever did my booking was beyond exceptional but as far as actual service on the day of - that's where it falls apart. I booked a massage and day of the therapist had called out sick. They were prompt about contacting me and offered me a facial at a discounted rate. All good. However, I get spa treatments monthly at different places all over the globe and one thing is consistent... there is always an intake and consent. This time - no. I'm not even sure the girl (very nice personality) was licensed to do a facial. After getting me on the table and starting to put product on - no question about allergies, skin type or otherwise - I had to tell her I have lash extensions and had just got my brows henna. To PLEASE avoid them. She proceeded to rub about 15 products sequentially on my face. Never once explaining what she was doing. No fancy process. No steam. No extraction. No eye patch. Literally rubbing a series of products on and wiping off with a towel. Including my brows over and over. The license in the therapy room did not appear to belong to her. Rubbed oils in my hair without asking. Mirror was too high on the wall too see once done but when I got back to my hotel I still had leftover product around my nose and IN MY BROWS which basically ruined my service I had just had done. So - book w caution. Definitely not worth the price even discounted. It was reminiscent of the "mini facial" we did in massage school that was the only legal by the state way we could do them. Again. Whoever did the booking was over accommodating and the therapist probably was asked to fill in but that should have been made clear. ***** update to this ***** customer service is exceptional and they truly value their clients and experience .... Practically immediate call and message to accommodate experience ***** this was originally a 3 star experience that ended with a 5. This is how you run a business so kudos to them. read more

Very friendly owner and stylist. I loved that they were able to get me in with such short notice. The salon was also very clean in the inside and I was promptly greeted at my appointment time. I'm bumping a star since I requested one inch of hair cut and ended up with maybe 3-4 inches off :( Uploaded a before and after pic - only had a silly before pic. She did put great care into cutting my hair but I'll probably keep looking for the one. read more

Consumer beware: I returned to this salon (and Denise) for my second haircut this past week (my last haircut was the end of January.) Denise is a lovely and talented stylist and I enjoyed both services and time with her. Unfortunately, I had difficulty booking my online appt. the second time, so scheduled with a gentlemen by telephone who failed to mention a nearly 50% increase in pricing. Upon calling, I was told that he was under no obligation to share this information as it was on their website. He cited inflation and the cost of a banana which I found dismissive and condescending. Not even gas has increased by this percentage, my haircut was $88. I referred three members of my family after my January appointment. It was made clear that my patronage was not valued in any way. read more

I had the most amazing 80-minute massage by Samantha today. Not only is she expert in her service delivery, she really cares about her client. Thank you Samantha. Also, I'd be remiss not to mention how wonderful Michele was in assisting with getting the service scheduled as well as being a perfect host. Thank you both! read more

I had a fantastic experience at the Avondale salon. The staff and my stylist, Jessica, were great! Jessica listened to me and the cut was fabulous. I've just booked my next appointment! read more

Wedding hair and makeup! Wonderful! I was married in Charleston this past November. I had a very small bridal party ( just myself and flower girl). Lordis was the perfect place for hair and makeup! I met Linzie a few months previously and we did a trial run for the hair and makeup. Linzie is amazing! She had a very calm and gentle nature and she is very good at what she does. On the day of the wedding she came to my event space with (Jaclyn?). The two of them did an amazing job on my hair and makeup and my flower girl. I would highly recommend using Linzie and Lordis for your wedding hair and makeup needs. Thanks Linzie! read more

Michele and Denise are the BEST! I was able to book a last minute appointment where Michele was incredibly helpful with squeezing me in, and Denise stayed late to do a full wash, cut, and style of my hair. Easily the best haircut I've ever received. Not only was the staff so pleasant, and honestly fun to talk to, Denise was extremely thorough with my hair, and made sure she knew exactly what I wanted. Such a beautiful and kind lady. The building that the salon is in is very cute and easy to access, being right on King Street. I will definitely want coming back to Denise for my next hair appointment!! read more

I booked a haircut which was fine and I really enjoyed it. When I finished I also booked an appointment to get my roots touched up. Unfortunately on that day I felt sick and they were nice enough to reschedule it. Today I tested positive for Covid and called to cancel that appointment but the person told me that I couldn't cancel the appointment since I had originally rescheduled it with less than 48h notice - I should have just said that I come in with Covid but of course I didn't. The gentleman now has rescheduled it again and if I miss that one he told me that I would be charged 450 dollars. I have never been treated so rudely - it is no one's fault that I have Covid! I will hopefully be able to do the appointment next week but I would definitely never book another appointment based on how I got treated. I do understand that they have a 48h cancellation policy and I was never trying to cheat myself out of that. If I had more time I would have rescheduled it for in 2 weeks to make sure I am healthy but I am only here visiting so can't do that. And if they have to charge me I think to charge that amount is ridiculous. I have never spent that much money on a root touch up. So make sure if you book that you are prepared to pay at all costs no matter the circumstances. read more
