This salon has my heart. My daughter had a huge knot in her hair. The owner arranged for a stylist to come in early. After a full hour another stylist joined her and the two worked together for another hour to get it out. They treated me and her with incredible kindness. I get my hair done there normally and am always happy, but this just went above and beyond. Once out, they washed, cut and blew dry her hair. I have never seen her hair more beautiful. Before Salon Karma said they would help the only advice we had gotten was to cut the knot out (which was right on top of her head). Thank you Salon karma for genuinely caring and saving my daughter's hair! read more

Salon Karma - After they got the knot out! - Makeup Artists Near Me - Bluffton, South Carolina

See all

I had to give 1 star to post but my opinion Salon Karma NO stars. If you pay for a service and the salon defaults on that service the salon shall rectify or compensate the client. Not at Salon Karma!! I have never written a bad review about a restaurant, person, place or thing. I requested an appointment for a Hair Cut and a Keratin Treatment. I might add costing over $400. The Hair Cut not so great the Keratin Treatment should last 4-6 months. I called and spoke to the owner at the 5 1/2 week fatter my Keratin treatment and told her it DID NOT TAKE, from day one to the 5 1/2 week mark each day my hair had more and more frizz and curl as if I never had a treatment. Flat ironing twice a day. The owner insinuated I did something wrong, as washing my hair to soon, getting it wet or using a sodium shampoo or swimming. Which was not the case! The owner said I should have called day one. I was out of state for 4 weeks. If should last 4-6 months. Refusing to even have me come in and look at my hair or compensate me in any way. Which tells me the salon does not stand behind their services or stylists , Very Poor Client, Stylist - Owner relationship Poor Business ethic. Sad you pay for services not rendered. Let me add I am a Hairstylist for many years, I owned my own salon, sold it and ran 15 salons for a company up North, before moving here. I am a Certified Coppola Keratin stylist. I have given countless Keratin treatments for over 18 years, along with having it done on my own hair, I have even given myself this treatment at times. I would say I know a little something about Keratin treatments, when a treatment didn't take and how to care for your hair after a Keratin Treatment. I feel very taken advantage by this owner. Shame on Salon Karma read more

Love my hair! First time at this unique and beautifully decorated salon. Meredith did exactly what I was looking for and took her time to get to know my hair texture, color and style. She's a true professional and expert in coloring. So gave me the best blow dry that I have had in a long time. It was the same treatment I received in New York at the Fekkai salon. I made my next appointment before I left and looking forward to getting my hair professionally done again. read more

LOVE! Just got my hair done. I'm not going anywhere else. I found my girl. Thank you Madison. Beautiful place, friendly people, great work. Worth every penny. read more

I NEVER leave negative reviews but I'm so bummed at the way my hair turned out. $257 plus tip for "balayage" and a trim. The color is brassy, the haircut is uneven. I've had my hair highlighted many many times and I've never had results like this. I was very specific about what I wanted. I even showed the stylist a photo. I asked for very blonde, thick money pieces in the front and it looks like my 2 year old painted orange highlights on the front of my head. I wanted to speak up but I was in shock that I paid almost $300 for this service that I frankly hate. I have to go to a different salon and have them fix it next week. I was really excited to get my hair done as I rarely treat myself and I'm just so disappointed. I could've done a better job myself with some bleach and toner from Sally's. read more

Do not bring your kids here. A cut is the normal $25, but what they don't tell you is a blow dry doubles your bill and then some. I asked for minimal fun color like just tips and a bit underneath on my kids. My fault for not clarifying, I walked out of there for $200 per kid - total of $400. I was told they needed extra color (what does that even mean, I've been getting my hair colored for 30yrs and never heard of it). If they were pro's in their field I may even feel a bit better, but we were told that certain hairstyles exceeded their abilities and they were only able to do trims!! Please, learn from my mistake on this one. Of course the owner is "on vacation" but I'm sure she'll get back to me when she's back. Yeah right. read more

I had an amazing first visit with hair colorist and stylist Meredith this past week at the salon. She listened to what I wanted to have done and offered me great suggestions for color and the hair cut. I love the color and cut, it's beautiful. Meredith paid especially close attention when my hair was processing, it was a relaxing afternoon. I highly recommend Meredith! Wish I could give more stars! Thank you again! read more

Ok guys... this place actually has there sh.. together! Yes, it's pricey.. but I have paid the same amount in D.C. and was never happy. Abbey colors and cuts my hair.. honestly, I didn't want to post because I want to make sure she has time for me. She is excellent!!! It's worth every penny! read more

I have only been living in the area for 6 months, and this is the only salon I've visited since I moved. I will say that the overall services are comparable to where I was going before, but that isn't the issue. I have had two appointments here, and my daughter had one. All three of the appointments went the same... a consultation was scheduled, an appointment for specific services was made, and then several other different services were pushed on us and the original quote went out the window. My first consultation was for a complete overhaul of my hair. Taking color out, repairing damage, and... this was the main point... making it so that I didn't have to keep getting it colored just to maintain a look. $600 later... which was more than my quote and minus the $65 charge for the cut she didn't have time to do... I like my hair, but am mostly happy that I will no longer be a slave to the salon. Fast forward three months and I make an appointment for the cut that was missed last time and actually went into the salon for her to see my hair to make sure I made my appointment for the correct service. She told me all I would need was a tone ($20) plus a cut ($65) so I make the appointment. I show up for my appointment. And when I go to check out, my bill is $165. So after $600 to remove color, and making an appointment for a tone, she decides to do an all over color... not only costing $100 more than the appointment was made for, but completely defeating the purpose of the $600 appointment months before. Unfortunately, my daughter was given a gift card for this salon and had made an appointment before this happened so I let it go, giving them another chance to do the right thing. Again, the appointment was made, based off of a consultation, and a quote was given. My daughter is 14 years old, and was frantically texting me minutes after sitting in the chair because the girl doing her hair was telling her that she was going to be doing services that were not included in her gift card/appointment. I should've known there was a reason that no one I had met since my move would recommend this place. I can't believe they are still in business after demonstrating this business practice repeatedly. The service is good, but honestly, for the money charged, it should be much better. I will never go back, and sincerely hope this reviews saves other potential victims from falling prey to this type of shady behavior. read more

Well, Mother day special for "Half-off" hair blonding service was a great deal, 85 bucks!...but seriously? $35 charge to dry hair and $25 for toner? WTF, when does any salon in the world NOT let you see your color before you go OR not include toner? INSANE! Total cost of "Special"..175 with inclusive tip. Had same services in major cities all over the WORLD and this is just stupid pricing. You all are in Bluffton ,SC, not United Emirates. Great service, but totally overpriced IMO. read more

Came to see Fran today. Her consultation was excellent. She took time to understand the desire and she had the skill set to perform the results. As a hairstylist myself...I can say, she is excellent at her artistry and I highly recommend her. She is on point! A handsome stylist named Dylan assisted her with last tasks and he was a doll. Great salon and great people. read more

I had the best salon experience at Karma since moving down South from Connecticut 7 years ago. I took a huge leap of faith coming in on impulse to cut about 14" off my hair and Andrew was on hand to make the experience soothing, enjoyable, and educational. I love my new hairstyle! I feel like a whole new person, lively, chic, and versatile. Andrew taught me how I can style my hair differently with minimal effort, making my life easier. Thank you! read more

Salon Karma - Before and after shots from my first visit to Karma. - Makeup Artists Near Me - Bluffton, South Carolina

I had my first appointment at Salon Karma this evening with Samantha Oliveira and boy am I happy I did. I have found my new salon! Samantha was so talented and the staff was prompt, professional and welcoming. The location is beyond perfect and I am more than happy with what Samantha was able to do to correct color which was badly damaged from a previous stylist at another establishment. Finding a stylist/ salon you trust can be such a daunting task - thank you to Salon Karma for making this move a simple and obvious decision. read more

I have lived in Denver, Boston, Dallas and Phoenix and I have very short hair. I got a partial highlight with color to cover my gray roots and I paid 312.00 I have never paid these prices in cities that stylists have had more training than this small town Salon! read more

I was quoted $55 when I booked my appointment for a simple cut. I was charged $70. Very overpriced salon. My friend got a coloring and paid $400. Yikes. read more

I am very picky about my haircuts. I got a trim from here and she was very gentle on my sensitive head. My hair turned out great and she styled it very beautiful. My hair dresser was very nice and we had a good conversation throughout the whole appointment. The whole thing cost only $45 which is better than most places. read more

Cute salon but I ended up paying higher prices thenI do in Boston on Newberry or in NYC. l liked stylist she was cute and did a nice job but the bill shocked me??? As a woman you would understand that "toner" usually comes with coloring (they actually charge twenty five dollars extra for putting in toner.) I happily paid enjoying the most expensive partial highlights I've ever had yes ladies 309$ I think for a partial seems a little off for me I'll stick with the high priced salons in Boston and NYC. Because actually they wind up cheaper and much more cutting edge.. read more

My girlfriend and myself had a makeup appointment at this salon with Erica and she was wonderful she was very friends and did everything we asked of her. My only suggestion would be to have for of a variety of color when doing eyeshadow...I asked for a smoky eye and all she had was brown not a big deal and it turned out very well.. my girlfriend on the other hand didn't like hers it was not to her liking but we settled...:they also nickel and dime you..for instance they charged a $2 fee for emailing her a receipt...may not go back but service was good read more

Love this place !! Talented stylists, Matrix Color, and the top Haircare products, kerastase and oribe. Not to mention the salon itself is gorgeous! Best salon in the Low Country by far !! Check it out! read more

Amazing !!! Got my hair done by Natalia and she gave me exactly what I wanted!! I definitely recommend this place the place itself is located in the beautiful Bluffton area and the decor is cute . The staff was friendly and got me in as soon as I walked in thank you girls & especially Natalia read more

Went here not knowing much about it for a blowout for New Year's Eve. I had Natalia and not only was she super sweet but she did a great job and it didn't take forever! (I have very long and thick hair). I will definitely be returning the next time I am in the area! read more

Worst salon experience I've had in my 40+ years of life. I had a bad haircut and color, so I called the salon to see if they would be willing to see me to correct it. I was told it would be an additional charge to do so. I didn't have a good experience when I was there to begin with - very uppity and "too cool for school" attitude. I decided not to return and to prevent others from having the same experience, I left an honest review. I was contacted by the owner threatening me to either take down my review or she would in turn review me (I'm a small business owner) even though she's never been to my business and she would contact her attorney. All they had to do was invite me back to the salon and offer try to make it right for me. I've told everyone I know who is looking for a salon and hopefully this review will help save others a trip. read more

My haircuts here have been really high quality and I would give them more stars however I've never been to a salon that tried so hard to sell me on products and more services, which kind of turns me off. I read this in other reviews so I think it's their way of doing business. Just a warning. read more

I've been getting my haircut with Danielle for over 2 years and she always does an amazing job. Her new salon is great and the entire staff is a lot of fun. I just brought my old son in for his first haircut. Lauren was very patient and somehow managed to get a cut that looked really good on a very active 2 year old boy, very impressed. Thank you! read more

I couldn't be more pleased! In December I received a terrible haircut at another salon; seriously, I had a mullet. After letting the disaster grow for four months (still a mullet, mind you) I went to Salon Karma hoping they could at least give me something I could live with. Erica and Danielle worked a miracle! I left with beautiful hair and feel good about my looks again! read more

I was visiting from out of town and called to get a last minute wash & blowout. The staff was very accommodating & friendly. The salon itself is very clean, trendy with a lifht & airy feeling inside. They took me right away and I got a great blowout. I highly recommend this place and will definitely return again. The entire shopping area is very quaint and appealing. They took good care of me and my 81 year old mother-in-law. Thank you! read more

Moved here from CT & was very skeptical about trying a new salon. So happy I found Salon Karma! I've had my hair done here twice now and I made another appointment in February. I left this morning LOVING my balayage & blow out. Erica is the BEST! So happy I found a new stylist. read more

I am always interested in how my hair looks AFTER I leave the salon....all I can say is WoW! The cut and styling that ELANA gave me was perfect. If I paid more it was more then worth it. I have finally found my salon in the Hilton Head/Bluffton area! And for the Marine spouses that work there GO ARMY!! LOL read more

My wife has never been happier with her hair then when she came back from Salon Karma. We were on vacation at Hilton Head and she wanted hair extensions and this place was recommended. You can't go wrong!!! read more

Abigail was amazing and so professional! She did exactly what I wanted and so much more!! Came out beautiful and I was very happy with my results. The environment is very comfortable and pleasant!! read more

I arrived at the Salon 10 minutes early for an appointment to have my hair cut. I was told that the stylist I had booked was running a "little behind." No problem, life happens. 45 minutes later, the stylist finally walks up and asks me to come back. I sit in the chair and she beings hurriedly asking what "I want done," treating me as an inconvenience rather than a new, paying client. Had she even at that point mentioned an apology about being so late it may have been a different appointment, but alas no. I finally decided to just get up out of the chair and leave. From my one experience at Salon Karma, I absolutely would not recommend it. read more

Hair cut was okay but the color was absurd. Had to have it re-colored at another salon the next day.

I had my hair done by Martha and I am so happy with my results. I went in for a balayage and toning since my hair is black. I am so pleased with my haircut and the way my hair looks and feels! Martha was a lot of fun, knowledgable and had great conversation. I will be returning to Karma for sure! read more

Andrew is amazing!!! Salon karma is a very chic salon with a staff that really knows what they are doing. I went to Andrew today for highlights and I could not be more satisfied! He took the time to actually listen to what I had to say and explain to me what he thought would look best. Throughout the whole process he kept me very informed on what he was doing. After the highlighting process, he gave me a tutorial on how to style my hair a different way than the same ole thing I've been doing for years. I walked out of the salon with some of the best highlights ever and a Great style! I highly recommend salon karma, and especially Andrew! read more

Great high end salon. Great atmosphere and decor but stylists are extremely pushy into getting you to spend more. You can not come in and just get highlights.. they need to use toner after your highlights (which you pay for), they suggest a million add ons and don't want you to just get the one service you're there for. Obviously it's a salon and I expect them to encourage more but it's just annoying. read more

NEVER AGAIN!!! You go in there they quote you a price. Then they jack it up beyond belief and tell you we do not give quotes. Read the other reviews. Besides that it took the girl 3 hours to apply color to my hair and when all was done and said I had orange hair!!! Not what I wanted. The girl apparently thought you bleach out a dark brown hair then apply color. NEVER AGAIN RUN! When I called to speak to manager I got a run around. I had to dispute with my credit card. They did reverse the charges but my hair is still orange. I went to another salon they can cover it but the bleach ruined my hair . I just have to grow out the issue. read more

the worst haircut ever. they lied on the phone when i asked what they charged for a haircut. found out 4 of my neighbors had haircuts there and all of them said they would not go back. these review must have been writen by the owner and her stylist. don't go, you will be disappointed j read more

This salon is too over priced. All I wanted was my non complicated blond look and this girl (young) could not get it out of her head that I don't want micro highlights. Everything looked too blended and unnatural. Like you could tell highlights were there. I probably spent close to $1000.00 in that place. Never again. read more

I selected Salon Karma based on the five-star reviews in Yelp. My hair was medium-short, and had grown out alot from my last haircut. I went to get about an inch cut off, and to add a little more layering. What I got was all my hair, ALL my hair cut off. I brought in pictures of what I did not want to happen, and what I did want to happen, style-wise. One picture was that of a very short haircut. I showed the stylist the picture and said 'do not make me look like a boy, this is an example of a too-short haircut'. I showed her a photo of a hairstyle similar to what I had, but with a little more layering. The stylist proceeded to trim, and trim, and trim. I noted to her that the cut was getting very short, but I was told to trust her, it will look fine in the end. More hair came off and more hair. I ended with a shorter version of the 'Bubble' haircut ... I am sure you all remember the 'Bubble'. Not exactly a medium-short hair cut. I again pointed out to her that the hair cut was very, very short. And the stylist proceeded to tell me why she had to cut it that way. I have had bad haircuts before, and this one is right up there in the top three. For an expensive salon, this should not have happened. My stylist was Pricila Ortiz. She was lovely and charming, and I liked her very much. I cannot tell you how disappointed I am. Every time I glance in a mirror, I want to cry. read more

So disappointed I had gone in to purchase Oribe Products and was pleased with the owner. When I called, it turns out she is not taking new clients. Having just moved to the area and been a client at the sally Hershberger salon in New York City, never have I been told you must wait three weeks for an appointment. Will not be returning to purchase anything else from them. read more
