Debbie gives the best facials!! Treat yourself to an amazing spa experience by a knowledgeable and experienced professional! I felt pampered during the entire process! I also had a bikini wax and I must say Debbie has this mastered so it isn't painful! Don't hesitate to schedule an appointment with Debbie, you will be so glad you did!! TC read more

I went in for gray root coverup and ended up with a very wide BLACK strip down my scalp. My base color when I came in was dark brown and the gray growth only about 1/8" long. You can see by the photos how bad it looks. When I expressed my displeasure at how dark and obvious the line was, I was told I could come back the next afternoon for highlights to break it up but it would be on a fit in basis with no time for a full blowdry. Seeing my hair in the daylight after I left was shocking. It looked awful. I texted the salon saying how bad it looked and my disappointment and was basically told it was because I didn't get highlights to break it up. That is untrue. The stylist herself told me highlights shouldn't be touched up each visit--every other to avoid breakage and over-bleaching . Not a single apology, not an explanation how dark brown coverage became jet black. Basically blowing off my concerns altogether. Very unprofessional and discourteous to blame the client. I was then told they'd refund the cost of the horrible root touch up and I could cancel my highlight appointment to "fix" the issue or come in and pay for the highlights --which were needed BECAUSE of how poorly my hair was done. Do not even entertain coming here. I work with the public and we would never ever treat a paying client in this fashion. Horrible experience and not one that will be repeated and I will be letting everyone know to avoid this place. No accountability taken for a job done very poorly. I was made to sound like the results in the picture I'm adding were "normal". Edited to add: the salon's solution to me having an issue with the dye job is to "ban" me from coming back. (NOT that I'd even entertain that idea). Extremely poor business practice. Some customer relations education is definitely needed. read more

Whoops! I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet. I have been going here since I moved to Charleston over a year ago and I just got so lucky! Debbie is the Bomb with the waxing, she does a great job and is quick about it. Looking forward to booking a facial with her soon. Jay - is just the best stylist - no one blow dries my hair and makes it look so beautiful as he does. He always does a great job with the cut and color. Next time I go, I'll be sure to update with a photo. He was also awesome about squeezing in a Keratin treatment when I decided last minute I wanted one - that's service. OH - and the hairwash chairs - these are the most comfortable chairs I have ever laid in, I want one in my house just to nap in! read more

The got me in so last minute when I had to miss a Mount P. Stella Nova appointment due to an emergency. AUSTIN! Saved my life. I came in with self cut bangs (uneven and short) and multiple months of abandoning my highlights + one self bleached strip. My hair mistakes had caused some tears. He was like a mind reader with the cut and color. I get shy around asking for specifics with hair stylists, and often it doesn't wind up looking good. He truly transformed my hair. I will try and include photos but it simply won't do the job justice. Additionally, he was so funny and kind. When I was showing him an old picture of my hair, he gave me a compliment that has had me smiling all day (he couldn't see my face in shop because of the mask -- the picture was the first time he had seen me). (Last picture is one my partner took because I wouldnt shut up about my hair, flashed a cheesy smile but it was so real!!!!) read more

Debby was so funny and professional! Get your wax and facials done by her!! I will definitely be back!

MOST HORRIFYING EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE.... If you read my review of Largo Salon, you know the incredible damage my hair suffered there due to the stylist burning it off. It took almost a year to get my hair back to a decent state after that...... then I made the mistake of going to Stella Nova. What happened at Largo was child's play in comparison . I went in with long, thick hair for blonde-ish highlights and left with SEVERELY broken and damaged hair. The ends can only be described as "shredded"--- they look like someone chewed them off. I had to cut 4" off my hair to even begin making it look somewhat healthy again and it's still in horrible shape. This is going to take YEARS to be back to my original state when I walked through the door. The ends of my hair are thin, wispy and damaged. Where my hair was highlighted had been overbleached and broke off in random jagged lengths. This has been extremely depressing and I think at some point, stylists need to be held responsible for the damage they do to client's hair. When I went to another salon to get it "fixed" and get my gray roots colored, they wouldn't even put any color on my hair because it is so damaged. To have gone from thick, long hair that was basically healthy to a shredded, SHORT, broken mess on my head has been horrifying and depressing. The damage is indescribable. If you want to keep your hair attached to your head and undamaged, learn from my tragic experience and don't go anywhere near this salon. And most especially Sarah Vroon---worst stylist ever. UPDATE: I met with one of their expert stylists who agreed my hair had been badly over processed which caused the breakage. I was given some free shampoo and conditioner and that's supposed to make everything ok. There is literally NO good reason to come to this salon. Unless you have a desire to be bald...... I wasn't even offered my money back. Laran Mattson, the regional manager, is the most ineffectual leader. This is a disgusting way to do business. read more

Wow!!! I came in to get my make up done and hair curled for a special date night and was so happy with the results! Sedona is amazing, talented and super fun! She did fantastic and she knew the date wasn't until later so she made sure to set the make up and my hair and it stayed! My hair eats curls immediately so I was so impressed. Thank you! read more

I have been getting facials with Debbie Stokes for about five years. She is very knowledgeable about the ingredients that give my skin what it needs. Her massage techniques are therapeutic and relaxing. I truly enjoy each and every moment of the facial! And just the other day, a friend told me how good my skin looked. That made me feel great, since I turn 60 in a few weeks. Thanks for taking such good care of my skin, Deb, and recommending at-home practices. The spa space at the Cigar Factory Stella Nova is quiet and just the right temperature! And since the move to Stella Nova, I have added a haircut to my facial experience. Alecia Kleffman listened to what I wanted and did the cut perfectly the first time!! Even her styling was just right. (In the past I have had to go home and redo the styling...) What a great spa day. If only I built in enough time for a toxin-free mani-pedi at the Water Room a few doors down..... read more

Rude front desk , go somewhere else. Hate it for the owners who pay rent. Staff had several open chairs and turned customers away. Ready to go home in a hour or so. read more

I have the worst frizzy hair ever, so hard to manage. I have even been places where people quit doing my hair half way through because its so coarse and frizzy. AUSTIN DID AN AMAZING JOB. I came in for a haircut and he did exactly what I envisioned. He is truly a wizard with the scissors. Thanks so much Austin! read more

Had the best facial ever! Debbie Stokes did an outstanding job...listening, evaluating my skin and discussing what facial would be best for me. Also a great follow-up post facial. Loved it. Will definitely be back! read more

Stella Nova is first of all such a beautiful salon. The staff is on top of making appointments and make you feel welcome when you walk in the door! I've seen several different stylists now and they've all been so friendly and knowledgeable! My stylist even helped me pick a style and color perfect for me and my lifestyle. I also had a facial with Debbie this time and it was to die for!!! She explained what was best for my skin and let me relax! Needless to say this salon is a must! read more

Sarah has been doing my hair since I lived in Charlotte NC. LOVE her work so much I moved when she did! Ok, other reasons too but she is so talented and I am so excited to have her in CHS!

So happy to have Stella Nova downtown again! Newly opened in the cigar factory, with all senior level and higher stylists you can guarantee a fabulous service. Thanks to Sarah for a great scalp treatment and haircut and she recommended a curated group of products for me to take home which I love! Thank you Stella team! read more

Absolutely love this salon-highly recommend! If you're looking for the perfect color specialist go see Sarah. Hands down the best, she is my go to stylist and I have no idea what I would do without her. I have never felt so good about my hair. My hair has been through it all-I've had a few bad experiences with color, so I've held off getting it done for some time. I found Sarah via Instagram and fell in love with her work. My hair is really long & thick and I wanted an intense balayage. I started out dark brown and my goal was to get to ash blonde (which is not easy nor quick.) She was very informative on the whole color process and honest on what we would achieve during each appointment. I was blown away on the first appointment of how amazing the color turned out. She nails it every single time to the exact color I want-perfect highlights, perfect placement, and no brassy colors. She is always super knowledgeable and personable so I love going to see her. I recently went for my third balayage appt and I could not be any happier. Needless to say, if for whatever reason she decided to relocate, I would follow :) read more
