If you're looking for an amazing colorist look no further than Laura Buck. I happened to meet a friend of mine who is getting her hair done at this hair salon and Laura was finishing up her hair. We were talking about mine and how it would be nice to be able to lighten it. I have had very dark hair for decades (mocha, espresso, dark brown, black, etc.) Anytime a stylist try to lighten my hair it would always go to an unattractive rusty copper kind of color, damage the hell out of my hair and end up being nothing that I wanted ...When I expressed my concerns to Laura she said you're just dealing with lazy colorists We'll get there Now this didn't happen overnight and it took a couple of treatments and toners but after doing a little research on Pinterest I decided that I wanted to end up somewhere in a mushroom ash brown with some dimension I could not be happier with my hair I so happy that Laura suggested the change because I never would've done it myself due to my past experiences I have attached a few pictures So that you can see how dark my hair was and how awesome it turned out read more

I've waited my entire adult life to find a hair dresser I love as much as Amanda and the others at her studio. Not knowing what the heck I want or like in hair, Amanda and her team step up every time to help me find what I was having a hard time putting into words. From the color, to style, to the softness, and how to properly take care of my hair with the specifics I chose- I am just amazed every time I leave this salon. It's taken me 15 years but I finally can say I love my hair! read more

First hair cut was fantastic. 2nd was ok.. 3rd hair cut was disaster by a same person. Do not recommend to a friend. read more

DO NOT GO HERE. I had a haircut with Dianna, I showed her threes references photos and explained in detail what I wanted and what I DID NOT want. She was immediately rushing me and I was trying to tell her what I wanted. Then when she shampooed my hair she used freezing cold water. Immediately as she began the cut she cut off much more length than we had discussed.(typically stylists start longer then go shorter to your desire) She also buzzed the baby hairs on the back of my neck without my permission or even mentioning it to me. Once the haircut was complete she gave me no opportunity to express how I felt about it. She did not ask me if I liked it or if there was anything we could change. After she finished my hair. She began cutting my girlfriends hair and was not listening when my girlfriend was explaining what she wanted. She was even giving snarky remarks. She even asked her coworker out loud if she thought that I did not like my haircut. I immediately went to my car and cried. She made me feel ugly and gave me the most botched haircut I have ever seen. Then when I went to pay she told me it would be $20 more than we had discussed over the phone. As we were leaving she also made homophobic comments toward myself and my girlfriend. I think that Dianna was sabotaging me because of sexuality. If you are looking for an actual good haircut do not go here. Terrible, absolutely terrible. read more

Donna was absolutely fabulous! She treated me with such respect and efficient communicated with me throughout the entire appointment. She created a very warm and welcoming environment.

UPDATE! I just returned from my NEW STYLIST. She had to put a tint on my hair to tone down the brassy yellow. She had to trim it due to the damage, and said there was a huge "HOLE" in my hair in the back. I had gone to Laura 5 weeks ago at Radiant Hair Studio. She is responsible for this mess! Amanda, I hope you are reading this!! read more

So happy i went to Radiant Hair Salon yesterday after visiting 2 other local places in Fla. (very unhappy) met * Michelle at Radiant Hair Studio, very knowledgeable and excellent stylist. Ladies she knows her craft and finally my hair is the way i want it to look! Very happy and will return for sure.... Thank you Radiant HAIR SALON!!!! :) read more

Had appointments for a haircut ! But the stylist took a walk-in for a hair color and expected me to wait!!!!! Very unprofessional.

I've always bypassed the shops in this plaza b/c I'm usually heading towards the outlets on a mission but having recently moved to the area, I thought I'd check them out since I don't like traveling too far for services if I don't have to. Flo did my hair, I only asked for a partial bayalage (hair was dark brown)and for root touch up to hide grays. I was fortunate enough to get in the same day and it was worth it. She is talented and very meticulous with her craft and knows what she is doing. Amanda is the owner and she is friendly and warm. They use high quality paraben/sulfate/cruelty free products and they're planning to extend their services to permanent makeups, lashes, facials etc. I have a feeling this salon will flourish here in Ellenton very soon. read more

Claudia is a great stylist and colorist. Highly recommended. The only thing I would mention is to encourage the stylists and customers to enforce wearing masks. It may be just a few, but enough to feel uncomfortable. Thank you for great service. read more

I had my first appointment today and am I am happy I saw my new hairdresser Michelle. I had scheduled on a Saturday and expected to wait but wait time was short and they still thanked me for waiting ‍. Salon is busy so you know that they're well respected. My hair color is finally where I want it to be - not brassy but finally toned down. I will definitely be going back. A facial would be nice as well. Thank you for making my experience at your salon today a great one Michelle! read more

They did a good job on the cut, but they overcharged me significantly on services they said were marked wrong on the website. When I told them, they said they would fix it but they didn't. They also charged me for a blow dry when they only did the front and not the back. read more

Where to start. I booked my appointment on their website. The price for cut and color was $95. I figured add about another $20 for medium length hair, between my shoulder and chin. All the years I have had my hair highlighted, they colored it and then they cut. I showed Tara a photo of how I wanted it. She asked a few times to see it. She then proceeded to cut and shave. A little red flag went up, why is she cutting first, but I let it go. As she was doing my hair she asked to see the photo again. Then again she asked and said she was going to have her boss look at it. She looked and told her what to do. The back of my head felt very light in weight. She then highlighted. After she was done, I put my glasses on but could not see that good, I had my wrong glasses. The color I could see was good but the cut did not feel right, felt to short. Not what I wanted. It should have been longer. I go to pay and she tells me that will be $185.00. I am saying to myself, that is crazy! The most I have ever paid was about 125.00. I pay and leave. I get in the car and get a real close up look and just about balled my eyes out. I was butchered!! I got home and my husband could not believe what he saw. I went in bathroom and started crying. I was butchered and not in a good way. This was the worst haircut I have ever had. I had someone ask me if a toddler cut my hair. I then got an email that had my receipt. It stated I was charged a cut and color which was $95 twice. I emailed back and asked if I was over charged. I got a reply back from Amanda the owner and was told that was the correct price. I told her I was way over charged, never paid more than 125 and that my hair was butchered, nothing like the photo I showed. I then got a text from Amanda asking me to call her, I could not when she texted because I was out eating... with a baseball cap hiding my embarrassing hair. She then text me again and told me she was going to refund my money she wanted to fix this and make it right could I please come in on Tuesday or Wednesday. I text her back and told her I could come in on Tuesday. I go in on Tuesday at 4 o'clock she looks at it starts cutting the back to fix it a little and then she said she had another customer coming so she had Claudia fix my hair they both said that yes she did not cut it right the cut was terrible and that the highlighting should have gone down further in the back of my head she stopped it so abruptly it was horrible. Claudia recolored it to bring it down and re-cut it correctly and Claudia even told me she saw Tera cutting my hair when I was there and was a bit worried by what she was doing but she got busy and did not see the final product. Claudia did a nice job considering what she had to work with. I'm all done and I walk up to the desk to give them I credit card to get my money back and Amanda says oh there's no charge, no kidding there's no charge I wasn't going to pay you again. I just want my money. She ends up giving me $45 refund. I left and when I got home text her back to let her know that I was not very happy she told me she was going to refund all of my money The reply I got was what you were happy with the color it was just the cut that wasn't good. Are you kidding me! You tell a client you are going to refund them all of it, you should do that . And if you tell someone YOU are going to fix it, you don't pawn them off, YOU correct the mistake!! This is not the way to do business!!! I will make sure all the ladies in my community are aware of this disaster! The first photo is what I showed Tara I wanted and the rest of the photos are what I got!!! The last picture is the length of my hair before Tara started cutting. When Amanda was trying to fix the back, she made a comment that maybe my hair was not long enough for me to get the cut I wanted, Ummmm, YES it was and Claudia was there the day I came in and saw how long it was. She was standing next to me when Amanda was cutting and I said NO, my hair was more then long enough for this cut and Claudia said yes it was. You can go onto Facebook and go to their page I posted my review on there with some follow ups. Amanda had texted me that she would be so happy to issue my full refund and she even put it on my review however, two months later and I'm still waiting for my refund. She doesn't need my credit card to do it. And yesterday June 2 I went to another salon so that as it's growing out I can get it fixed I've been concerned because my hair is a frizzy mess and I have big pieces that have fallen and broken off and fallen off. According to the new salon I go to my hair was over processed and all the blonde strands have broken off because it was over processed and I now have to go and get B3 treatments. read more

My daughter has straight hair. We went in to this salon for Shirley temple type curls. What we got was a ball of frizz. Basically the before look in every teen movie of 'not to hot' girl. This salon made her hair from good to real bad. I think salons are supposed to do the opposite. Dawn (salon lady)sent us on our way before hair was dry which was a major red flag. When the hair dried it was a frizz ball, we looked online it said frizz happens if you rinse it. She did rinse it which when dawn started doing that at the salon, my wife looked at me bewildered. Second reason for frizz is if hair is brushed out, which Dawn also did. When I mentioned to Dawn that every web site said don't brush it out, she told me it was a "special" brush. The only type of brush I saw online you could use was this clown sized comb where the bristles were an inch apart. Next day we ran to another salon which explained everything Dawn did wrong and everything they need to do to fix. No calls were answered at this salon from me so we had no choice to go to another location. The new salon lady basically looked at me after seeing my daughters hair and said what was I thinking letting this disaster happen. So needless to say, my wife wanted to kill me for spending $140 on this. My daughter was upset bec we have 100 people coming to a sweet 16 party to see her and my daughters mother scolded me saying she takes her twice a year to salon and first time I do it, she comes out looking like bride of Frankenstein. I don't go to salons so I don't know what solution is for hair that is destroyed. But when she told me what their solution is, I realized the scam hair salons can pull. She told me her solution is to go back to her again so she can FIX it. I'm guessing that women going back to the place that doesn't know how to do hair is under 10% so it's a rat sneaky policy that they know almost no one will go back to them. When I told Dawn I have 3 women who were not going to let my daughter go anywhere near her salon so I sent a picture instead of the mess, she was like that's our policy for her to come back so too bad. I said well that's what yelp is for. I wasn't even asking for full refund. read more

Radiant Hair Studio - Shirley Temple curls?!? - Hair Salons Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

Made appointment with someone else and before coming I got a call that my appointment is cancelled and another stylist will do my hair. It is fine. Not an apology from that stylist who was standing behind me. The comb fell to the floor and the stylist picked it up and used it in my hair. Very unsanitary and was mad. Will not go back there again. read more

Teara was my stylist she was very knowledgeable and professional. Atmosphere of salon was stylish and friendly. I definitely recommend Radiant Hair Studio. read more

Always had a great experience in the past. Today I walked in and the hairstylist had been double booked. Umm Amanda what are you doing? Apparently Courtney called you and you didn't answer the phone. I booked on the 22nd and there was another appt. at the time. Not sure I'll be back after two years as a loyal customer! Thanks a lot guys. So not Courtney (my stylists fault!) btw.... read more

5/13/20 called for appt. ASAP. I asked if they will not use buzzers and cut my hair with scissors, style cut. She said yes. They said come in. I was there within 7 minutes. Girl sits me down and goes to town on my hair with buzzers ( barber shop ) . Totally messing up my hair . I had to stop her and walk out. If a male I wouldn't recommend this place. I know where barber shops are. I wanted a style cut and clarified it . Adding attachments to a buzz trimmer is not styling. read more

Funny how Laura did that lady right. She's horrible. Cut uneven and crazy...nothing like I asked for also wreaked of alcohol. Guess just don't go see her on a Friday since she wants to start the party early. Wouldn't let her cut my dogs hair.... read more

Great place with friendly stylists. Also staff wearing mask and following Covid protocol.

Had an 11:30 haircut appointment with Michelle, arrived 5 minutes early and waited more than an hour. Michelle "never once" came to waiting area to explain the delay to me. Poor communication, unprofessional, uncaring and unacceptable. Found Great Clips down the street to be faster, friendlier and a better value. read more

My first time at this salon after moving from out of state. I relied on Yelp reviews and found Laura, stylist, here. She has been styling for 20 years. Update: switched to stylist Claudia no problems. The salon waiting room is filthy and needs to be cleaned. read more

I've been going to Amanda Davis for several years now. She is such a talented stylist. Her new salon is beautiful, she has a super friendly staff, all are talented as well. Great place, reasonable prices...walk out of there feeling pretty! read more

I just would like to say how pleased I am with Claudia at Radiant Hair Salon. Over a year ago now, I fell and broke my knee cap. I was having a hard time finding a hair salon that I could sit down for a couple of hours to have my roots touched up. I was wearing a full leg brace and could not bend my knee. Amanda welcomed me into the her salon and told me to come on in that they have everything I need. She was right! She found a stool that I could prop my leg on and sat me down with Claudia. I have stuck With Claudia for over a year now, she is the best! So talented and knowledgeable in coloring and cutting hair, plus very caring and personable. The salon has always been clean and inviting. If your searching for a new hairdresser and or salon, I highly recommend Claudia at Radiant Hair Studio. By the way she does my husband's hair also, we always go in together. He gets a hair cut while my color is processing read more

Incredible salon and experience. Amanda gave an amazing cut and color. And they even carry my favorite Kevin.Murphy products. I'll definitely be going back! read more

If I could give 0, I would. Had three appointments - the first, the owner, with whom we both booked, had no idea we were coming on the day they scheduled us. Ended up putting me with someone else (I'm the husband.). Second time was okay, but third time, scheduled by Amanda herself for my wife in her personal appointment book/calendar - we walk in today for our appointments - Amanda is on vacation. No call, no notice, no ability to look at her appointment book and plan accordingly. Sorry - if this is the way they do business, I'd encourage others to find more competent salons - it's not like there aren't many choices in this area. Should've trusted our gut after the very first visit - what a joke. read more

Awesome place. Stylists are wonderful!! Prices are very good! Highly recommend this salon!!!

I first saw an ad on PPN for this salon and was excited because it wasn't far from home. The first time my husband and and I scheduled an appointment, we arrived at the salon and was told that we didn't have an appointment; I scheduled this appointment with the owner. I decided to give them another chance since it was a new shop. I figured that it was just a simple mistake after all. This time I was scheduled again with Amanda (the owner) and my husband was also. Once we arrived we weren't on their schedule again. Amanda, on her way out, decided to cut my hair but pushed my husband off to a hair stylist that certainly needed a lot of direction. He isn't picky at all but found this situation quite frustrating! Again, after this appointment we scheduled for exactly 5 weeks out. Needless to say, today we both went in for our appointments to find out that only he had an appointment and Amanda is on vacation. SERIOUSLY????? To say that this salon will not be in business long is an understatement!!!! Ladies and Gents, I suggest you look elsewhere for a reputable and trustworthy salon because this is not it!! read more
