My daughter got her hair done by Daniel. Great young man with patience. She couldn't take the bleach on the scalp and he made it look beautiful. She went from her natural black to blue layers.

MULLET by Fran, from Rio Hair Studio in Tapestry Park, Jacksonville, Florida.
Lauren N.

TITLE: MULLET, courtesy of Fran I went in, with an appointment, to get my asymmetrical haircut trimmed so that would be straight at the bottom to grow out evenly. I also asked for some longer layers so that it wouldn't be so flat. Initially, the length was fine, but the layers were like 2 drastically chopped shelves in the middle of my head, not at all evenly spaced or even close to the total length. I asked if these could be blended in so that it was a bit more cohesive, very nicely I might add, and ended up with a MULLET. I kid you not. PICTURES POSTED. The stylist tried to brush it off the MULLET she had just given me as a "shag" and told me it was in style. The layers could ALL be put in a small high pony tail with the entire rest being a single length, no layers. When pulled away from my scalp, the way layers are normally cut between two fingers, there was a DRASTIC drop from straight cut to 6-7 inches longer. Pictures of this posted, too. My hair is parted with most hanging to the left of my face, and the layers there did NOT match any other location on my entire head, they were half the length of the rest of my hair and was about 80% of the hair on that side so they couldn't even be fixed or blended when I had to go SOMEWHERE ELSE! AND I HAD TO PAY FOR IT, AND WAS EVEN DUMB ENOUGH TO TIP! I will NEVER be going here again, and i do NOT recommend this place to anyone else either. I should have known, seeing as how my stylist looked like she was wearing Ed Hardy attire, but I trusted her as a "professional" (ha). I dont know if she was drunk, on drugs, or what but this is BY FAR THE WORST haircut I have ever had in my entire life.

They claimed to know how to cut curly hair. Actually the charge you more for a curly hair. I was confident because she said she had taken a curse. I showed her a photo of what I wanted (the first one that you can see here). She started to cut the hair and then I saw she was cutting really near my head and I told her "it believe it's really short" (I know my hair is going to shrink). And she replied, oh no I need to do the layering, if you want volume this is how. This place just doesn't know how to cut curly hair. I'm so mad I came here.I am crying, literally she did with my hair what she wanted, not what I ask for. I wanted to update my review... the owner called me, she asked about what happened, she told me she will give me my 42 dollars (yes, I even pay for this disaster) back if I erase this review. Seriously! I replied I would not take it down and to keep the money. So dissapointed, I would have changed my review if the owner took a better attitude. I hope this can be useful to girls who want to cut her curls. DON'T GO

Carolina you are amazing as always! If you are a curly girl like me you know its difficult to find a hairdresser that knows how to treat curls and I can say that i have found my comfort in her. Everyone come into Rio and if you are a curl girl like me, then ask for Carolina!

Dani is amazing!

This is my second time here and I don't remember who cut my hair the last time, but this time I won't forget! Dani was amazing. I wish I would've done a before and after. I got quite a bit cut off and it feels so light. I have naturally wavy hair but she straightened it out to add layers and it's been so long that I've actually had it straightened that I forgot how much I like it. She was super sweet and complimented my natural color, gentle, and has amazing talent. I usually leave a salon feeling "okay" but I was excited afterwards. I (almost) wanted to go home and put on some make up to jazz up my new cut.

Hair is layered and got my natural color back (came in with faded blonde highlights and left w beautiful chocolate hair)

I've been in Jacksonville for five years, and let me tell you... the struggle to find the salon has…read morebeen REAL. But TODAY?! Oh today was a game changer! I finally found MY salon!!! ‍ Now, fair warning: I'm a little bit of a salon snob. (Okay, maybe more than a little ) But in my defense, I literally named my first daughter after my former stylist, so when I find "the one," I'm loyal for life. And for the record... she moved away first, so let's not throw around the word hypocrite Here's my personal salon checklist: Fun area where I can wander before/after A funky, welcoming vibe inside A stylist who knows their stuff and is super friendly AMAZING products And of course... FABULOUS results And guess what? This place checked EVERY. SINGLE. BOX. Shoutout to Zoey she absolutely nailed it! My hair looks incredible, I felt totally taken care of, and the whole experience was just FUN. Located in the Five Points area, so parking can be a hassle arriving early at busy times suggested!

I went to Hawthorn Salon on Wednesday night to see Libby and I am OBSESSED with my hair. I wanted a…read morepretty big change and she absolutely delivered. I seriously can't stop looking at myself in the mirror -- I'm that excited about it. Libby really listened, nailed the vision, and made the whole experience feel fun and effortless. The salon itself was super clean, welcoming, and everyone there was incredibly friendly. From start to finish, it was such a great first-time experience. I'm already looking forward to coming back and would 100% recommend Libby to anyone ready for a change. She's amazing!

I really enjoy coming to The Hair Gallery, but most importantly the reason I stick around is…read morebecause of Ashley Kaye. I have followed her from the previous salon because she's someone who really masters her craft. She listens to what I want but always has a helpful suggestion that I always end up grateful for. With someone as indecisive as myself she makes it easy to achieve the look and feel I want but cannot always express so simply. Whether I'm in for a simple trim or a complete transformation including length and color, she makes sure I leave happy and with increased knowledge as to what products she recommends and how to style and keep my locks healthy and looking fabulous. It's always been a challenge to maintain my hair as it's so easy to whip out the old faithful bun routine, but with her help I now love getting into her chair and have had fun experimenting with different hairstyles and techniques utilizing her guidance and expertise. I've recommended her to my friends and family, and those who have taken my word left the salon more than satisfied with the results. As long as Ashley remains in Jax, I shall be her faithful client! Thank you Ash for teaching me that hair care doesn't have to be daunting and stressful and for making every visit not only a fun one full of laughs but also a learning experience!! I will be sure to continue recommending you specifically to anyone looking for a hair stylist. As for the salon itself, the staff is friendly and helpful and the coffee they serve definitely gets me through those morning appointments I definitely appreciate. From what I have seen, there's talent in the salon with varying styles and techniques but the outcomes make for happy comfortable clients.

Stacey Neiber is an AMAZING hairstylist!!! It's hard to find someone who is great at cutting AND…read morecolor but she is a miracle worker! She's sweet, friendly and knows her stuff! I highly recommend her. She cuts mine and my daughters hair and we've never had a bad experience there.
