I love going to Maria's salon because they do a great job with fair prices. Typically, they are running on time- very rarely have I had to wait - they are respectful of that which I appreciate. Aveda products. This is a Small Boutique salon in Solon across from the bowling alley - very chill atmosphere. highly recommend. And right around the corner is Alesci's Italian Deli! nice bonus stop... read more

If you want to get your hair cut by someone who actively listens to you and has good communication skills do not go to this salon. If you have naturally textured hair that has curl or wave to it do not go to this salon. The cut you will get will butcher your hair in its natural state. Maria goes back and forth splitting her attention from one customer to the next. She will stop mid cut to go color another customers hair. She does not listen to what you want, she gets an idea in her head of what haircut you should have and does what she wants without even consulting you. I wanted a simple bob and I almost ended up with a pixie. My hair is uneven and sticking up at funny angles in the back which will take months to grow out. Maria is not only inconsiderate but she is also incompetent. If your hair is textured and you want someone to accommodate your needs do not get your haircut at this salon. read more

Went here because of a Groupon deal I found. I am very wary of Groupon deals, but with the few reviews Maria Giallanza Salon had here I decided to try anyways. Wooooo, I do not regret that decision! I haven't had a decent color EVER in Cleveland (I'm always going back again to get it fixed). My color came out great! Minimal red undertones (I go from black to blonde), decent gradient (because my roots are slightly darker), and an acceptable wait time in the chair! Only two "complaints" - which I don't even care about because they are not a huge deal to me. First, I can slightly see the "stepping" of color change in my hair. Considering I got a ombre done, this is a slight setback in quality. Second is that my haircut ended up very blunt, which I specifically asked not for. This is perhaps suggestive of them not paying 110% attention to what the customer wants. Overall though, great place. Nice people (even the owner was around to say hello). Quality was a steal considering I got a Groupon. I would definitely return! read more

I am a former client of Maria Giallanza salon. The only reason I ceased to become one is because my family moved to Denver, CO. Maria (owner) is personable, knowledgeable and talented. Her salon was just down the street from work and it was convenient. Plus, I got a nice discount for services because she offered a Chamber of Commerce discount to employees of companies that belonged to the Solon Chamer of Commerce. An added bonus is that Maria's salon is an Aveda salon! Maria became my primary stylist and I never walked away disappointed. She's passionate about her business and her trade. She will do all she can to make things right if a customer is unsatisfied. When I left her salon, I was given the formula to my partial highlights (Aveda hair color) so that I could take it with me to Denver when I found another Aveda salon. My husband travels back to Solon for business about once a month and I'm envious that he still gets his hair services from Maria! read more

In the middle of the only snow storm we've seen to date this season I found myself traveling south-east to Maria Giallanza Salon. I knew that a mani-pedi was in my near future and the promise of a few hours of pampering and trash mags were all the motivation I needed to get out of the house. I had made the appointment over a month in advance (they seem to book up quite early for Saturday slots) and a little inclimate weather wasn't going to keep me from taking advantage of my day of beauty! If not for Groupon, I may not have tried this salon, quite honestly. But I'm glad that I did. The staff was friendly and Laura gave a wonderful pedicure (perhaps the best I've had in years). The space is relaxed and sweetly perfumed from Aveda products (which they rep rather heavily). I also appreciated their "no tip" policy - a nice final surprise! read more

Going to this place for 14 years! Always great service, friendly and attentive staff. Maria is great master. I recommend to try everyone to find your favorite. Very clean. Always has great selection of aveda products and the girls can help to chose what you need. Highly recommend! read more

They do an amazing job. They cut my hair the way I like. The color is great. Very pleased.

I bought a living social deal for their mani-pedi. The salon was in a good location, clean and well decorated. Laura did both my manicure and pedicure. She was really sweet and nice, but the manicure was not done well at all. The nail polish was not fully painted on my nails and when I left the salon I had to file my nails because they were rough and snagging on my clothes. Also, the next day the nail polish was chipping off when my manicures usually last about a week. They did not have a large selection of nail polishes, around 30. The color i chose was very pretty, but the polish seems very thick. I am very disappointed because Laura was so sweet. read more

This is a wonderful Salon! I visited, after receiving a terrible cut from another salon (btw, that terrible cut salon had great reviews). Anyway, my consultation appointment was great. Maria actually listened to my issues, and gave me options! So, my color appointment was today, Maria came in early, and squeezed me into her schedule! What???? I'm not kidding! I wanted to go with a more natural color for my age, yes, grey! They had to bleach my dark brown, in order to get me there! Unfortunately, I had a lot of orange after that process! They kept working it, until we got to a good place! Again, I was given several options! My hair looks, and feels amazing! Maria and Carly worked it! I am super happy! And, all the hair magicians in the salon seem to care about each other, and help each other through the day! Very cool! I'm looking forward to my future appointments, and the creative magic to come. There is a lot of amazing happening there! read more

Atter moving from NYC to NE Ohio, an unfamiliar area to me, I had a lot of trepidation about having someone new color my hair. After a lot of research and reading reviews, I decided to try Maria Giallanza's Salon and am so thankful I did. I had a difficult hair request but the colorist (Laura) was so knowledgable and supportive that she quickly suggested a way to retain the integrity of my hair while finding the right process to meet all my goals. The result was great! The ambiance of the salon is calm and relaxing, while remaining friendly. Maria, herself, was in the salon and providing support, answering questions, etc. I would describe the environment as upscale but not posh (you can show up in jeans and no one will look twice). I love the Aveda product line and my new look. The salon has just earned a life-long customer. Thank you Laura, Maria and team for such a positive first-time experience. read more

Had a haircut with Maria last week and I was so pleased with the way she cut my hair. {Even got compliments from my husband!! ) I asked her opinion on how best to cut my hair and she was honest. My hair is naturally curly and I usually blow it out and straighten it, but my haircut is so awesome I've been able to just wash and wear after putting volumizing product in it. I'm so happy with my haircut and will definitely return to Maria Giallanza Salon!! Thanks Maria. read more

I happened into Maria Giallanza's Salon while I was waiting for shoes to be repaired next door. From the minute I walked in, the atmosphere was calming and upbeat. Maria and her staff are very welcoming. I was so impressed by what I saw , I decided to make an appt. right then. Maria's high standards for the best Client experience are passed down to her Employees. Everyone treats you like family. This talented Staff aims to please at all times, her attention to detail (right down to the hand and scalp massage) are always foremost. I could never see any reason to go to any other Salon. read more

I'm a huge fan. I've been coming here for over 10 years for cut and color and now my 2 teens are regulars , too. I love the peaceful setting, all Aveda aroma (no chemical smells), and complementary hand and arm massage. The "no tipping" policy makes for an even more relaxed visit. I think it's very reasonably priced. read more
