I've been going to Amanda since right before COVID after she was recommended in a neighborhood…read moreFacebook group, and I truly haven't looked back. Her talent as a colorist and stylist is unmatched. No matter how I describe what I'm envisioning, she somehow translates it into exactly what I wanted--often even better than I imagined. She has an incredible eye for color, and I leave every appointment feeling so confident. Beyond her talent, Amanda has created such a relaxing atmosphere in her private studio. If you want a quiet, peaceful appointment, she's wonderful at creating that space. If you're in the mood to chat, she's equally amazing--easy to talk to, full of fun stories, and genuinely enjoyable to spend a few hours with. She's also fantastic about recommending products that actually benefit your hair without making you feel pressured to buy anything. I'll admit, a part of me hesitates to write this review because I selfishly don't want it to become harder to book an appointment! But her expertise, professionalism, and kindness deserve to be recognized. If you're looking for someone who truly listens and consistently delivers beautiful results, Amanda is absolutely worth it.

I've gotten some really awesome bobs in my life but unfortunately this haircut I received at Salon…read moreSen has to go down on the list of "absolutely tragic". When I called to book the appointment I explained to the front desk I needed to be paired with an advanced stylist because my hair is very difficult. I have cowlicks and thick, frizzy texture. I know this but I also know it's possible to get the haircut I want. I was assured that I would be with an "expert" of short haircuts and get what I wanted to achieve. When I sat in her chair for the first time (and last) I told her about the past 10 stylists I went to that butchered my hair and she reassured me she would give me an awesome haircut... NOT. I went to cosmetology school in NYC and worked under a celebrity stylist, I'm not sure what her credentials are but Jfc what a disaster. With all of my cowlicks my hair should have been washed, straightened then cut, not cut wet because my hair lays differently when it's dry and straightened (how I wear it). I also told her that I wanted it symmetrical on all sides so it should have been parted down the middle and crossed checked, not parted on the side while cutting. She then blowdried my hair and cut it again. Again, not using a flat iron when I have thick wavy texture. When I straightened my hair the next day and went through it, it was the most ridiculous haircut I've ever gotten, it made me laugh. The ends were cut in all different directions and in a zigzag pattern, there were long hairs all over the place and the left side was 2 inches longer than right. I had to cut off a bunch of hair to even it out. When I called them back to see if she correct this atrocity I was told that she would be able to see me the following week and I would be charged another $75 to "fix" what I did to my hair lmao when I had already paid $100...as if I would give more money to the person that destroyed my hair in the first place?! It took me two hours but I was able to give myself the haircut I wanted, no thanks to Salon Sen. Bad experience, won't return and I don't recommend.

I am writing this a week later and am very happy with how it looks when I style it on my own. $75 was reasonable for a wash, cut and style. She was very nice, understood immediately what I wanted with my hair, talked to me about what product would be good for my hair and I was out of there in an hour. They have Kevin Murphy products for sale which were not marked up. I bought the anti gravity spray and it is the same cost as on the Kevin Murphy website. I have been going to Lavender Park for years but at their other location, so this was my first time trying the Southport location. I will return.

The salon itself has a more private, personal touch, which I much prefer to the larger salons you find in this area. Highly recommend stopping by if you're looking for a relaxed environment to get a great haircut!

I had a wonderful experience with Ashley at Salon Aster…read more My regular stylist was ill so I was in desperate need of a root touch-up and a cut before embarking on 3 weeks of travel. Ashley was a dream! She's very thoughtful, and truly listened to what I needed. While she's a reserved young woman, don't let her quiet demeanor fool you! She's fierce when it comes to providing amazing service. My only quibble, and this has nothing to do with Ashley, is that the salon was so busy I was pretty much left to my own devices before Ashley came in for the day. While I don't expect champagne and flowers (though, hey, wouldn't knock 'em!), it would have been nice to have been at least offered a glass of water!

Her cuts are always excellent, she recommends (but doesn't pressure you to buy) great products.

There is always a beverage for you to enjoy, while you look at the beautiful salt water fish. Duet is good for your peace of mind, wonderful for your hair!

I had a very disappointing experience at this salon. I came in with clear inspiration photos for an…read moreimportant event, but the final result looked nothing like what I asked for. The service was so poorly done that I had to completely take my hair down and redo it myself the same day, which was stressful and time-consuming. The salon itself felt disorganized and messy, which didn't inspire confidence. There was only one person working at the time (the stylist) and no other customers present, which made it uncomfortable to raise concerns in the moment. The updo took over an hour and given how far off it was from my inspiration photos and with my event coming up quickly (it was on a Friday, and I had worked in the morning), I didn't want to sit there any longer. I also realized early on the result wouldn't turn out as expected when I asked for an updo and the stylist never used a curling iron (for the updo), despite the inspiration clearly showing defined curls. I would not recommend this salon.
