From the minute I enter Salon Bontempo, I know it's going to be a wonderful day!
Cathy Sue E.

While Salon Bontempo is newly opened, the owner has been doing my hair for about 8 years and she is BRILLIANT! Both me and my hubby have a standing date with April every month. April is amazing. She is such a great stylist and master with color. She knows me well enough to understand when a small change-up is a good idea for me and she is ALWAYS right. When April suggests something, I usually go with it and the outcome is wonderful. Once I asked about maybe adding some of my childhood color back into my color. April was honest and gave me the pros and cons of doing so. People change as they age, so my strawberry hair as a child, most likely would make me look a good bit older than I am, which is most definitely NOT what I wanted, so that idea went by the wayside. I SO appreciated that insight. My skin color would not have been right making that change, either. When I say April is a master-colorist, I mean it. My hair is 'needy' and April has a way to meet those needs with color, high and low-lights and always, always a trendy, nearly sassy, cut. Those I work with loved the current style I've worn for a while now so much that they copied my cut. It was a bold move for me as I'd always worn my hair shoulder length and longer. April took the time to show me and help me envision a sassier look and it turned out to be absolutely the best thing I could have done. Honestly, the cut made/makes me look more stylish, trendy, professional, a good 10 years younger and best of all SASSY! I love sassy. April is always on the leading edge when it comes to style, but even better, she won't let a client make a mistake should they choose something that just won't work. I know she will honor a request, but I will ALWAYS count on April's insight. She knows her stuff! When my daughter married a few years back, the entire bridesmaid group, my daughter and myself received the royal treatment for the big day. This was done at a previous salon she'd worked at, but the majority of that team is now working at April's new shop. The new shop is convenient and is decorated is chic, trendy, stylish and welcoming. We love it! There are stylists in her salon that have a wide variety of talents! All of them are awesome. One even offers an unlimited blow-dry package, something that I may look into because it is so very reasonably priced I can't pass it up. I can do my hair myself, but there is just nothing like that 'just from the salon' look. I have a public-facing job, and one which really requires near perfection. April always gives me that perfect look I need and love. I am not perfect, but my hair certainly IS so. April's shop carries a great variety of eco-sensitive products. Those products work harmoniously with the color products on my hair and they are competitively priced. When entering the salon, it just beckons one to a wonderful experience. It's trendy, yet so full of warmth and relaxation, especially in the washing station where a great relaxation massage via a super comfy chair is to be enjoyed. Honestly, so relaxing enough it makes me w ant to stay, maybe an extra shampoo or something! Just wonderful. The salon pricing differs for each stylist, but it is great work from each, at a great price. At what price BEAUTY? It's worth every cent and more. The mom in me, with a daughter the same age as April, I take great joy in seeing how far April has come from her beginnings as a 'rising star' at her first salon to now....salon owner and SUPER-STAR. The Salon is 'accessible' for those needing assistance and their is accessible parking, too. Please, whether you are a 'local' or out of town guest, make a day to visit Salon Bontempo. It's honestly one of the best things you can do for yourself. A 'ME DAY' is just a must do. Can't wait for my next 'me day!' Oh, one last thing, BONTEMPO, I think is translated Good/Beautiful time. I know the secret behind the name, but not giving that one up. Trust me, BEAUTIFUL TIME, it is at Salon Bontempo! Wish I could double this to 10 STARS!!!!! Instead, one word: BRILLIANTLY AMAZING! [okay it's two words. One not enough to capture this salon]

His color work is incredible, his cuts are always perfect, and I leave feeling like the absolute best version of myself. It's such a good feeling to completely trust the person doing your hair, and with Eric, I know I'm in the best hands every time. He is incredibly talented and genuinely has a gift! I also have to give a special shoutout to Dee at the front desk. She is such a bright light and makes the entire experience even more special. She is so warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. She makes me happy from the moment I walk in and somehow makes me feel extra special again on my way out. Eric and Dee are both such a huge part of why I love coming here. Amazing hair, amazing people, and an experience I always look forward to. I can't recommend enough!

Trendy, hip salon in Orlando. My daughter went here to get a hair cut. She hadn't had her hair cut…read morein over a year and wanted someone who could do a great job on long hair. Our stylist, Tin, was really good about listening to what my daughter wanted. They also have a conditioner menu, with various types of conditioning treatments/masks you can get in addition to your service. If you check in with Yelp, you get a FREE treatment (they range from $25-35). So we also enjoyed a free treatment with the hair cut, blow dry and style. They have several stylists to choose from based on your needs and they have a wide range of pricing. Our stylist, for a long hair cut, blow dry, style and curling was $150 before tip. She did a really good job.

He strolled in 20min late for the appt. His ignorance and unprofessionalism mixed with a lack of talent should immediately disqualify him from ever touching someone's hair, again. He stated he teaches at Pau Mitchell. God help those people. They gave me a refund in the cut but not the tip. Hence the 2 stars instead of 1. The receptionist had a negative vibe. I'm from Denver. This was kind of a podunk salon to me but I guess Winter Park finds it suitable. Ryan cut me with a razor he uses all day. I could get a disease from his poor technique. He also cut me and didn't say anything. Coward. Edit to respond: Unhappy? A blind person can cut hair better than Ryan. There's no "feeling". It's a fact that he cut my hair like an amateur. I went to another salon. They said you hire anyone and that complaints about the quality of hair cuts is something other salons are aware of. Why would I return to allow him to continue or butcher my hair? My neck was bleeding. Your salon is trash. The photos I provided are proof. What a dumb way to try and side step responsibility. Calling you unprofessional would be too high of praise. You manage your salons like Ryan cuts hair. Regardless of the review I'm going to the doctor and I'm calling code enforcement.

I booked a same day appointment after getting the urge to get a haircut. I met with Rebecca and…read moreshowed her the style and length I wanted. After my consultation, I had my hair shampooed and conditioned before returning to the chair for my cut. Rebecca offered to diffuse my hair so I could wear my natural curls, and she even took the time to finger coil my curls before diffusing them. I really appreciated the extra care she put into styling my hair. Overall, I had a great experience at Mosaic for my first visit.

I was in need for a haircut and was recommended this place. I had heard so many good things about…read morethis place that I figured it would be great to try out. Unfortunately, the person who cut my hair did not do it properly and the situation made me feel worse when he basically chose to tell me I'm wrong. To start things off, I'll say the place is very nice and reminds me of a coffee shop. People are very nice and will even give you complimentary refreshments. Parking can be a little difficult since it's in Ivanhoe area. For my haircut, all I needed was a trim. The agreement was just maintaining most of the length and let the hair have some flow and texture towards the top. The guy even ran his hands through my hair to follow the direction it grows in. Next thing I know, he's combining my hair in the opposite direction and cutting. At first I thought it was some technique I'd never seen before. But turns out he fully intended for my hair to go in that direction. At the end, I asked why he cut my hair that way if originally he was even moving my hair in the proper direction. His response was that my hair wants to grow in the direction he cut. I chose not to argue since it had already been done and at that point I didn't trust him to fix it anyways. However, I do know he's wrong. My hair naturally falls in the direction seen in my picture as it dries. Now it has a weird shape on the sides with no life at the top. I'm sure these people are well trained, however I had a bad experience and will not be returning.

When I arrived to the salon (again, DAYS after booking the appt), I was asked to wait to meet my stylist. I was brought back to her chair where she asked me to describe what I'd like. She proceeded to say that she did not feel comfortable cutting my hair type. While I am grateful that she did not jump in while unsure, I did find it pretty upsetting that the stylist and the salon chose to handle this embarrassing situation in front of other clients rather than calling me beforehand or even speaking with me at the front of the salon. Likewise, I have a difficult time understanding the purpose of submitting pictures in advance (which the stylist stated she saw), but then waiting until after I have driven to the salon to discuss. J. Bauman was actually in the salon while this was happening and offered no reassurance or alternative. He sat on his phone in the front of the salon while the stylist told me how "awkward" the situation was. The best that they could provide was asking me to come in a different day (mind you this haircut was for my graduation the next day.) If you have textured, curly hair, I'd be extremely wary of booking with the curly cut stylist and this salon in general. I found that EDUCE down the road was a similar price point with a much more understanding and qualified staff.

My girl goes here regularly, and every visit has been nothing short of exceptional. The customer service is next-level -- warm, welcoming, and professional from the moment you walk in. Even if you're just sitting in the waiting area, they make sure you're comfortable. They offer drinks, snacks, and treat you like you're just as important as the person getting serviced. That kind of hospitality is rare, and it says everything about the culture here. Everyone is extremely respectful and genuinely caring. You can tell they love what they do and take pride in their work. Professionalism, attention to detail, and a clean, stylish environment -- it's all here. If you're looking for a salon that values people as much as results, Salon Dulay is it. 100% recommend.

While waiting for my service (and even during it) I was able to help myself to a quick snack (or two). However, the highlight for me was definitely their hair washing station as the sinks have a very comfortable neck rest and for added comfort they provided me with a rolled up towel to place under my neck and even a step stool for my feet. Additionally, as a first-time client I was able to get a $25 discount, a thank-you note from the owner, a curated bag of Aveda travel products and coupons for my next visit. If you are looking for a professional, luxury salon experience with excellent results, I highly recommend them.
