I have been way overdue for a haircut. The last haircut I had was almost 2 years prior to my first…read morevisit here. The last haircut I had was so bad so it prevented me from trusting again. I chose Shimmer Salon because it was close to my home and had good reviews. I was able to schedule my haircut online with Yelina. I loved everything about my first time visit with Yelina that I have been back two other times for haircuts with her. The salon is on the main floor of this old house and I love that, like many businesses in Ocala. It is always clean and neat when I visit. Yelina always does a great job with shampooing, conditioning, and cutting my hair. Yelina also always finds a way to keep the volume in my hair and cut it so it looks like a new haircut for at least a month afterwards. Yelina is also quick, maybe because I'm simple with my requests. There are several other hair stylists here and they also have a tattoo studio. They have blowout memberships and products for sale. The hours are better than most salons in the area and they have their own parking lot. FYI, if you are staring at the building from the street, it's the lot on the left side, not next to the apartment complex.

Highly recommend this salon! I was spoiled having my sister as a stylist and it was challenging to…read morefind a stylist that did great color and styling once I came to Florida.

I called salon Wow for a consultation and they told me to come in. I asked the owner how long the…read morehair dresser has been at the salon and she said "so many year I do not remember. In all fairness she has had other shop, so maybe he worked for her before. I came in and I was waiting for the hair dresser, they offered coffee, though it was nice but nothing special. I started to wonder in the small salon, because I like to observe hairdressers and how they work. Every time I got up she asked where I was going, first it was to the bathroom then to get sugar for my coffee. I was asked to sit down several times, it made me feel like grade school. Most shops are vibrant and lots is going on, not so with this shop. I then had my consultation and the hairdresser told me he had only worked there a few months. I got the consultation which I gave it 2 stars because I felt the hairdresser tried very hard. Then I was given the price. For a color cut and highlights it was $180.00. I have very short hair and most salons in other places I live go by the length of your hair. I walked out of there and said I know how they came up with the name, because they give you the price and you say wow. Now I can understand the price if my hair had been long. They have a lot to learn about running a exclusive salon. I have lived in big cities and have gone to the best. But you get special treatment and WOW lacked that wow factor!

If you want a great hairstyle, extension eyelashes, facials Leah is the one to do it, her salon is five star for sure, and she's excellent at her work with over 30 years of experience. I recommend her for sure. She's also great for men's hairstyles, my 16 year-old son is very picky and loves her.

She offers a variety of hair treatments including Natura keratin treatments. She only sells/uses products that she trusts to use on herself which says a lot. She has never cut more than I wanted (something I've experienced all too often at other places). She listens to her clients to ensure she gives them what they want but she isn't afraid to speak up if she thinks she can do something better...she openly works with you to make your hair beautiful! She rents space out to a hair threader and other stylists and she also offers slimming/toning wraps and Eurowave which helps detoxify and tighten your body. I did it right before a wedding and everyone kept complimenting how thin I looked despite having gained a few lbs. It was great! But the real reason to visit Elegance Studios is Didi - she's a hair master!

I was able to make the appointment the day before which was super convenient. It was a bit of a drive from Gainesville, but well worth it for the quality and affordability. Morgan was friendly and asked lots of clarifying questions to make sure I was getting exactly what I wanted. I paid $26 for a wash, cut, and blow dry (usually $36, but I got a referral discount), which is amazing!! No place in Gainesville will give you a decent haircut for less than $60. It looks so cute and it matches my style perfectly - I will definitely be back!!
