I just moved to the area and have been searching for a new salon. I have neglected my hair the last few months being so busy and I was in desparate need at this point. I decided to try Salon Alvarez because of the great reviews on Yelp and it's convenient to my house. I am happy to say that I had a great experience! I got to consult with both Lynette and Doug and went with their recommendations. I am VERY pleased with the results. They are both personal, professional and friendly and even for what I would call a more drastic haircut for me , I was in and out quickly. Bonus - they have online booking where you can see their availability - this is great for someone like me who can't book too far in advance because of my work schedule. read more

After cringing at the thought of making another hair appointment for myself and constant bugging from my sister and grandmother, I finally made an appointment with Doug. After sitting down and letting him see the monstrosity of mess I had of hair, I explained what I wanted, and guess what Doug gave me? Everything I wanted and more! The salon is very easy going and fun, very relaxing, and everyone there is so nice. I left with the perfect hair color (I'm not sure why I tortured myself the past year going to my now "old" salon), and the perfect cut. I will most certainly recommend this salon to anyone that asks me where I got got my hair done! Well deserved 5 stars, and I will be going back when it is time without that cringe! read more

I have spent many years coloring my hair myself and doing much damage to it. I had just moved here from Ohio this week before going to this salon. I was very unhappy with my hair and was referred to this salon to see Doug R. who I was told would do an amazing job. So, I decided to go here and just let Doug work his magic and boy did he! I have NEVER in my entire life felt better about my hair or loved it more. I LOVE IT! He has given me such a gift of self-confidence. I feel and look like an amazing new person. I will never go anywhere else. I DEFINITELY recommend using this salon and seeing Doug to give you a whole new outlook on life. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU DOUG! I am a client for life. read more

Lynette has been cutting and coloring my hair for over four years. Her color is always fabulous , she listens to what you want and comes up with great ideas when you just want something different. I receive compliments on my color all the time (even when I was at a baseball game a woman climbed down the seats to tell me how much she loved my highlights) The Salon is beautiful and from the moment you walk in you feel a sense of peace and relaxation. Everyone at the Salon is wonderful and welcoming and if Lynette is away it's great to have another stylist in the shop you can go to and that is the case with Doug. Highly recommend!! read more

Many times I've had my hair looking great the day the stylist has fixed it, but is a nightmare to take care of myself, so I wanted to give you an update. I had put off cutting my hair short because every time I've had short hair I remember spending too much time trying to get the style right and A LOT of bad hair days! Whatever Doug the Magician did, it's amazing! Haven't had one bad hair incident since his cut, I can go a couple of days without washing (I have very dry hair) and restyling and style still looks great, AND I can let my hair air dry and am equally pleased. Thanks, Doug!!!!! read more

We just moved to the Cape and I was in dire need of a cut. Saw that Salon Alvarez was #1 on Yelp so decided to give them a try. I made an appointment with Lynette and could not have been more happy with the result! My hair was mid-length and I asked her to cut it all off, I showed her a few pictures to give her an idea and she cut my hair to EXACTLY what I wanted!!! After she was done she even asked if there was anything I didn't like, one little section was bothering me and she fixed it right up! Lynette and Salon Alvarez, you have a life long client!!! Thank you, Kim P read more

After having spent a lot of money between 2 other Salons to be very unhappy....i finally chose Salon Alvarez after 8 months of not going Anywhere. I'm sure they were horrified when i walked in. Nicole Hall ( Nikki ) was my stylist and all i can say is..God bless her! She took the time to listen to what i like and don't like and added her imagination and expertise for the perfect cut and color!! A week later I am still happy. I have finally found my Go To place and person. Everyone there was friendly , professional and attentive. Thank you !!! read more

As a new resident in the area I started looking for a hairdresser. Within the search I found Salon Alvarez and caught my attention its reviews, so I decided to stop by. It was the best option I could take. First time I was there Rachel did my hair and the second one it was Frank, they both are awesome !!! very professionals, they got the style I wanted, my hair is gorgeous, my husband loved it. Frank clarified my concerns and guided me to find some Aveda products. Good environment and nice staff. Definitely I'll be back read more

Was LUCKY enough to spontaneously drop in to this salon looking for a cut and new hairstyle, and got Frank as my stylist. He took time to question me about my hair, preferences, curl factor, management, etc., before he even touched my hair. He knows what he is doing - hair type, style, face shape, and age appropriateness. I was beyond thrilled with the results. I will say that, for me, it was a little more money than what I usually pay; however, once again I was reminded that you get what you pay for it. Worth it! read more

I have been a client of Doug's now for 11 years and I could not be happier! He always listens to exactly what I am looking for, makes wonderful suggestions and makes me feel beautiful and confident! I always love my highlights and haircuts (and chats) with Doug. Salon Alvarez has a relaxing, peaceful atmosphere and the entire staff goes out of their way to make you feel comfortable and welcomed! They are very knowledgeable about the great line of cruelty free, eco-friendly natural Aveda products they sell too! read more

The moment I walked through the door I was greeted by calming Aveda aromas and beautiful, friendly people! From the scheduling experience to my arrival I felt so welcomed and comfortable! Lynette was my stylist. She was knowledgeable, friendly, warm, patient and truly listened to me. I felt valued and heard. I have never been so pleased with my hair!!! My self esteem is boosted and confidence renewed! The staff at Salon Alvarez was suburb and I would highly recommend visiting them! 5 stars is not enough! read more

Had an appointment last week at Salon Alvarez. Lynette colored my hair and her brother Frank cut it. I am thrilled with the end result. Lynette did a wonderful job coloring my hair, foiled my whole head and I have gotten so many compliments. My hair cut was shorter than I normally get, but I have been told by many people that I look so much younger with my hair shorter, and I love it! I felt very comfortable at Salon Alvarez and would highly recommend their services. Thank you Lynette and Frank. read more

Finally!!! I've found my salon in Florida!! Since moving to Pine Island two years ago, I've been searching for the perfect salon. Salon Alvarez meets all my needs. The stylist are friendly yet very professional. Doug is amazing! He listens to my concerns and offers suggestions to remedy my issues, such as frizz and humidity. My color has never looked better! It's also very conviennent to pick up the best products on the market... Aveda! Thanks for opening this salon so close to my home! read more

I am a snowbird from Canada and have not had to get my hair done while I am down in Cape Coral Florida before my visit to Salon Alvarez. Doug did my highlights, cut and style and I could not have been happier. I no longer have to worry about being away from my regular stylist at home, I now have a great stylist here in Cape Coral! I was stopped within minutes of leaving the salon by a young gal who wanted to know where I got my hair done!! I haven't had that happen in a long time! read more

What a wonderful experience I just had. I was greeted by name with a smile, offered a coffee and a smock to start my visit. I had an Aveda color process and during my visit and throughout, I felt well cared for by the entire staff. The complimentary hand massage, aromatherapy shoulder and neck rub and temple massage were a delightful surprise. My new hair color looks fantastic with natural tones, lots of shine and softness. I'm completely happy with this experience. Thank you!! read more

I recently moved to Cape Coral and was looking for an Aveda salon. To my luck, Salon Alvarez was close by and I got an appointment right away. Lynette colored my hair and her brother cut it. I was making a big change from long, red hair to a short, brunette bob and I love it! They made me feel welcome and did a fantastic job. I am able to recreate the way it looked when I left the salon and my color is just what I had hoped. Thank you, and I will be coming back again! read more

I highly recommend Salon Alvarez its amazing ! Everyone there makes you feel welcomed & relaxed. When Doug does my hair I never have to worry about having a bad hair day and it's exactly what I want ! I can leave my hair natural or style it and it looks great either way. An added plus is the Aveda products they use & sell. The phomollient styling foam is fantastic ! I also love the shampure shampoo for everyday. I wouldn't think of going anywhere else. read more

Love, Love, Love Lynette and the gang at Salon Alvarez. I've been a client of Lynette's for two years and I have yet to have anything but superb hair cuts and her color is simply perfect. Having lived in many places including NY and DC, I have to say that I've never met a more talented stylist. The atmosphere at the salon is friendly and welcoming. Going to an appointment feels more like catching up with old friends. I highly recommend the salon! read more

I am soNOT good with my hair. So. Not. Good. But after an hour with Frank, I feel like I can maybe get a handle on the not-flat pixie with swoopy bangs. Frank is personable, professional, and talented as I've come across. He took time before during and after the cut to make sure I reallyREALLY liked and I reallyREALLY do!!! Who knew a great cut didn't have to cost crazy money PLUS is right up the street? Thank you, Frank! read more
