Shannon was amazing in every aspect! She is a true professional who very clearly has amazing experience in hair care. I trusted her to color my hair and didn't feel anxious about it, which is typically the case for me. read more

Total Disarray !! was a RED FLAG First impressions say a lot ! Sanitation in the Beauty Business is imperative right !? wonder if the State Board has ever stepped foot in this establishment Evidently not in a long long while Seriously I don't get it ***should have turned tail and ran ! Corrective Cut & Color $$$$ cost me double keep it moving where did all the stars Come from here read more

color and cutting. Lisa is a magician your hair will reveal secrets no one else found, curls, waves come alive.

Very friendly service, but mediocre haircut for $55. On my last visit, the place was covered in estate sale items for her other business. Cleanliness is definitely not a priority. read more

Lisa gave me another fantastic haircut. Highly recommend Lisa for all your styling needs. Lisa also colors & cuts my wife's hair ...what an amazing job she does. read more

Before I came on vacation to Bradenton, I had ruined my hair! I colored it myself and put the wrong color in it and when I tried to fix it, Nothing... The color didn't change at all. I thought I was stuck with this horrible hair color.. I found Lisa at Salon Uptown... Downtown, and explained what I had done. So she looked at pictures of what I looked like before I messed it up. She fixed it PERFECT!!! She did such a great job with my highlights and cut!! She even explained how hair coloring works and how to touch up my roots later on my own from home. She even checked on me the next day! I couldn't be happier!! I absolutely Loved her!!!! Thank you so much Lisa!!! You are great!!! See you next time I come back!!! read more

The online booking is pretty awesome, as it means no phone-tag on either side. Lisa being open and available on New Year's Eve was also a major thing; I'm surprised, to be honest, given the quality of service, that she wasn't booked through, but perhaps the online booking whooshes over the head of the normal Bradenton resident? I don't know. The salon is easy to find, though parking can be a bit awkward (there's not much space between the road and the parking spaces). Oddly, the window-signage doesn't show up on google's street view, but rest assured, it's there and there'll be a board outside when the salon's open. The salon proper is rather nice, design-wise, though I didn't see the nail booths in the back area. I went for a downdo for a swing dance New Year's party. Lisa was very friendly, made good conversation, and was willing to look at and discuss various styles to see which would best suit me and the outfit I was planning to wear. After testing to make sure my hair would hold the curls, she spent about an hour and a half making sure that the style was what I wanted and fighting a few stubborn curls. It looked great -- not utterly perfect, but I never expect that of my hair and I'm not sure it'd actually DO a Dita style without flyaways! -- and I asked if she had time to do makeup. She did, and I got a great many compliments on it and the hair at the party/dance. She spent a lot of time on it, beyond what she had to or had estimated, which I greatly appreciated, and she got the period/vintage look down pat when I hadn't provided makeup examples. Cost-wise, especially with the Yelp deal which was up at the time of this appointment, it was great. I'd have paid full without a qualm. read more

I cannot give enough stars to this salon, Lisa is the most knowledgeable creative hairdresser I've ever been to, she listens Intently to everything you ask then follows through with precision. She helped me accomplish going Gray which I've been trying to do for years, my hair now looks exactly as I've always wanted it to look after going to Lisa for just 4 visits! Lisa is an amazing person she has a heart of gold and a sense of humour that makes going to this salon something I look forward to. read more

Lisa did an awsome job on my haircut. I explained what I wanted done & she cut my hair the way I wanted it done....fabulous! A must try....you won't be disappointed read more

Lisa always takes the time to work me in and always has a great attitude. She is an awesome person as well as doing great great job on my hair. read more

I met Lisa through a groupon gift from my sister as I had recently moved to Sarasota from New England. I used that Groupon for a color and cut. My hair was a bit "ashy" but as per usual it faded out to a great color that blended well with my natural plot. The cut was superb! As luck would have it, Covid-19 shut everything down shortly after. Well, let me tell you, after a much needed visit today, I am a new woman! The perm I got is fantastic! Exactly what I was looking for and exactly what I got. Lisa is currently taking one customer at a time and is ready to open her expanded boutique area. I definitely recommend Salon Uptown Downtown to anyone looking for a great experience. read more

I've received so many compliments on my hair cut using this salon. In the past, people complimented me on how I look the same day I got services at other salons but not days afterwards. At Uptown Downtown Salon my great cuts continue to get raves. I really love how they treat me at this salon and make me feel great about my appearance. I highly recommend this salon!! read more

I always feel welcomed at the salon. Lisa is a fabulous stylist and very professional. I love their online appointment system, too! Try it out! read more

Very customer oriented! They will listen to what you want or if you do not know-- they will brainstorm with you. Super nice and very helpful with choosing the right products to make your style last longer. read more

I had a TERRIBLE experience here with Lisa. I thought it would be good based on previous reviews. I requested a color, cut, and style. As she colored my hair, I asked several times to try not to get my ears and forehead covered in dye. She barely made the effort so I ended up trying to clean it up the best I could resulting in my hands getting dye on them. Throughout the cut and blow dry I asked SEVERAL times to be gentle because she was tugging on my hair hard enough to jerk my head with it. She didn't listen. This is where the appointment gets worse, she doesn't finish my drying my hair and gives me the alternative to leave or wait until she cuts others customers hair!!! She tried to blame me for having long hair and then guilt trip me other customers waiting ! It was unbelievably unprofessional! I left with half way done hair and dye on my skin! Leaving a salon is suppose to be a relaxing experience and I feel like I could punch through a wall! WORST FUCKING SALON EXPERIENCE Thanks to LISA! read more

Danielle has been doing my hair for several years and I have followed her from each salon she has worked at. She is an expert at hair color and my hair always gets compliments! She also does a great job cutting my hair which is thick and wavy. I also love getting a pedicure and manicure from her because she always pays attention to the little details. read more

Had an appointment here for some highlights. I had made the appointment a good 2 weeks in advance. I went in and had to wait for her to cut two gentlemans hair before she could cut mine, this was after my highlights were done and washed. She cut my hair in 2 seconds, it was a mediocre job. I barely have any layers. Asked for long bangs and got 20 strands of hair on each side cut. My hair is gross, highlights look cheap and fake. It was so bad I had to dye it back to brown the next day. Location is ghetto, entire place needs a makeover. Not a happy customer. Go to inspirations in sarasota on Main Street instead. Better location, better service and cheaper! read more

Lisa did a wonderful job on my color. I got many complements. I highly recommend her.

I booked my appt and was taken in as soon as I got there. I was getting my hair dyed, highlighted,cut. My hair is long and it does not take color easy. Lisa did a wonderful job on my hair and I have gotten lots of compliments!!! read more

Seriously talented stylist/owner, Lisa, is a fun and sassy lady! I am in town for ten weeks and was in need of a color and a trim. Now, we all know that finding a new stylist in a temporary setting is nerve-wracking.....I'd compare it to finding a mechanic....and, after consulting YELP.COM (as I always do), I was impressed to find the stellar reviews clients had left for Lisa! While out and about in Bradenton yesterday, I stopped by the salon to take a peek....I loved it! Lisa had stepped out temporarily so I left a message and asked her to call. When she called she asked how she could help. I shared that I was headed home for a 50th birthday party and needed my color done beforehand. She asked when I was leaving...."ummm...the day after tomorrow." Without hesitation, she fit me in on the first appointment the next morning! After a full color, a few highlights around my crown, a new style to frame my face, and a quick wax, I was more than ready to go to my party! This was NOT an ordinary boring salon appointment by any means! We laughed and chatted, and had a great time! BONUS: Lisa has a theater popcorn machine in her shop!! So, if you're in the area and need a touch up, call Lisa! Or, if you're not in the area but in need of a FABULOUS new stylist, call Lisa! Wanna try a new look or color, call Lisa!! This girl does it all! She's F.A.B.U.L.O.U.S!! (And, since I know you wanna know, so are her prices!) See you for a color touch up before we move on, Lisa! You can count on that! read more

This salon is awesome! Right in downtown Bradenton, this is a full service salon filled with great people who have excellent skills regarding all kinds of personal care. Coming from someone who doesn't normally use a salon, they have me hooked! I wouldn't get my haircut anywhere else. Lisa specifically is a hilariously fun stylist to be around in any case, and it definitely helps that she's great at what she does! read more

Just left Salon Uptown Downtown, Lisa was wonderful. Being very new to the city, our conversation was was interesting and effortless. My hair was cut exactly what I expected at a reasonable price. Parking was limited but it was easy getting in and out. I will recommend Lisa at Salon Uptown Downtown to everyone! read more

I just moved to Bradenton and how lucky I am I to find Azania Koi! I usually have to go through a dozen or so stylist before I find one that makes me look and feel great. Azania was the first person I tried and my search ends here. I have had more compliments on the haircut she gave me then from anyone else. Thank you Azania! read more

I had a great experience at salon uptown downtown. I came in for a 30 minute haircut and as soon as Dani saw me she said we'd need an hour and a half. I got a deep conditioning treatment and a fantastic cut as well as tips for what products to use with my hair type. Even though she spent 3x more time with me, the price of my haircut didn't go up at all. You will definitely have a great experience if you get your hair cut here. read more

Dani is awesome! Did a fantastic job, and very knowledgeable about care and products. Highly recommend. Plus, online scheduling is a big bonus. read more

Today, as always, thoroughly enjoyed my experience. I was in town for very short time, but, with ease of on-line scheduling, I easily made an appointment with Lisa. She knows me, has my color formula on record, and always does a wonderful job. Also, she has become my friend. I love the small, eclectic shop environment and the care I get when I am there. Many thanks. read more

Wonderful experience with Lisa! She's very knowledgeable, patient, and isn't pushy with products or the scissor! I'm moving out of town, but will probably wait until I'm back in town to get my haircut by her again. read more

I am new to the area and was searching for a new salon. I was searching yelp for someone with great reviews. I am so thankful I found Lisa......She was fantastic!! She fit me on on short notice and made sure I was satisfied with my haircut before I left. I will be going to Lisa from now on!!! Thanks Lisa!!! read more

These reviews are in no way accurate. The salon was filthy, the pedicure chair was broken, and everything appeared to be under construction. There was hair everywhere including the toilet seat. Unsure if it's dog or human hair at that. The pedicure was way under par, and the staff wasn't your typical spa staff. Also, don't bother with the Yelp cupon, not one staff member knew how to redeem it. Oh, did I mention there was a mosquito swarming me the entire time? Don't waste your time or money here. read more

I Went there because it was near my work. I was charged $20 for a regular men's haircut, she is way overpriced. she also messed up my fade. I'll not be going back. read more

I love Lisa at Uptown Downtown....she is very professional and knows her stuff!! She is one of the only people that has been able to cut my curly hair and make it look awesome!! Thank you Lisa and the atmosphere is like hanging out at your friend's house!! read more

Lisa was great, she listens to what you want and makes it happen. The online booking is convenient. The front parking is tight and right off the main street but there is more parking in back and across the street from the back. Cozy and pleasant salon. read more

I have thinning curly hair and Lisa has always been very caring and uplifting. She does a fabulous job! I wouldn't trust anyone else to cut my hair! read more

Consider yourself fortunate if you book with Azania! She has cut my hair for years and I followed her to this salon! She is efficient, quick and pleasant to visit with. She is a skilled stylist and she delivers a great cut for men and women. I would recommend her enthusiastically! read more

fast service, good haircut. Lisa had no idea what I wanted and neither did I, so she just took a little at a time, now I have a long shag which suits me. Thanks Lisa read more

As someone who was new to the area, I received services here because I purchased a coupon from Yelp. Lisa is the owner operator and she not only provided me with a great service, she gave me tips on how to get acclimated to the area. She was in the process of a remodel, so her place was in a bit of dissaray. read more

this place is disgusting and filthy! i went in for a pedicure and lisa could not do nails if her life depended on it! a toddler could do a better job! when i mentioned that she missed half of my nail with the nail polish her response was, oh i didnt notice. i ended up walking out! do not waste your time and money and this place! its a joke that they are still in business! read more

Salon Uptown Downtown - So dirty! And the room next door had tons of trash and old bags piled up! - Hair Salons Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

I just wanted to say how great it was to have the talented Azania at Salon Uptown Downtown to do my hair. I came into the salon while on vacation in Bradenton and found it to be a great experience. It's really hard to find a hair stylist who has the skills and know how to create a style that truly suits you and Azania was able to do that. Thanks again and I would definitely recommend Azania at Salon Uptown Downtown to everyone!!! read more

Quaint little spot; not what I was expecting, but a pleasant experience overall. Our nail tech Renee was fantastic, she was inviting, friendly, easy to talk to and did an amazing mani/pedi! It was easy to get in, last minute, which was a plus, but there were four of us in my party so we each had to go separately which was really the only downside to the experience. I woukd recommend Renee if you are looking for a great mani/pedi, she was great! read more

We've just bought a condo in Bradenton, where we'll spend all winter, so I needed to find a local hair stylist. I searched online, and found Salon Uptown's website. I was immediately impressed by their website, which allowed me to see all of their available appointments and to schedule one. First the website showed me the available services and the approximate time needed for each. Then I was able to book appointments, using my email address and/or my cellphone number. One day before my appointment, I received an email reminder. (I could have received a text reminder, but preferred the email reminder.) I arrived 20 minutes early for my appointment. Lisa was very friendly, noted she was just finishing up with another client, and actually took me 15 minutes before my scheduled time, which was great. Since this was my first appointment, she asked me how long it had been since my last haircut, and then to describe what I'd like done. She followed my instructions "to the T," and did a really nice job. Because she started early and was also quite efficient, I was finished twenty minutes early. A great experience all around. I'll be scheduling my next appointment in the near future. read more
