My son and his wife have always had Brian cut and style their hair. Even during the pandemic shutdown, they would not have anyone else do their hair, no matter where the location, they always have appointments with Brian. They are loyal patrons. read more

I have very curly hair, thick hair and it has always been unruly and I don't do anything with it but wash and condition. Robin gave me the best haircut I have ever had, ( I'm 64 btw). My hair looks and feels great whether I m waking up or just out of water. Thank you; wish I'd found you sooner PS everyone working there was friendly and it was clear they truly liked their workplace and the folks they worked with. read more

I found the salon on Yelp. Thank you Yelp! Athena, the girl that cuts my hair does such a great job so happy to find her!

My son & his wife have always been patrons. I personally have not been here; because the hairdresser they see is not taking new patrons. I like the location & would to patronize this business; however, I do not know who to make an appt. with. read more

My hair appointment was great and customer service was outstanding! I was so excited they were open on Monday and was seen quickly. My blow out was perfect. read more

I am thrilled that I was able to find my previous stylist from a few years back. Kaitie J is just as amazing now as she was years ago! She made me feel like me again! If you are looking for an amazing stylist with years of experience, look no further than Kaitie J! I drove over an hour to see her today and it was worth every mile! I have made another appointment in 6 weeks and will go no where else! read more

The Salon @ 716 - Thanks Kaitie J, it's like going back in time, you are still amazing! - Hair Salons Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

So happy! I switched salons because mine wasn't up to par on COVID safety practices. Here, every step was being taken to make it as safe as possible. I met with my new stylist Robin. She was kind to listen to all my ideas and concerns about a new style I wanted to try. She checked with me often if I was comfortable in the direction the cut was going. By the time I was done, I had no concerns at all and was positively delighted with the results! I felt so good about my cut and service! My family and friends love the look too. I've never felt so confident. Thanks Robin! read more

Nicely appointed salon with comfortable waiting area and convenient, ample parking. Everyone was very friendly and Chelsea did a beautiful job on my hair. read more

I saw Robyn in late 2019 after moving here last year and working on renovations of our house. I was growing out bangs and she did a wonderful job giving me a cut where everything blended and I could still pull my hair back for working. Today I saw her for the second time with my very grown out hair. Robyn is the BEST! She listens and offers options. The pandemic has been hard on everyone, but I feel better in general after Robyn cut my hair today. I am going back for some highlights to blend in my grey which I embrace. Robyn is awesome and her prices are very very reasonable. read more

Lauren is the stylist you've been waiting for. She doesn't pressure you into cutting/dying/anything. She will tell you honestly if your idea is not the most flattering, but will also make you feel like you're the most beautiful person to sit in her chair. She is talented enough that you feel confident taking risks with your hair, but she doesn't push. Just trust in the power of Lauren (I mean, also use good products and styling tools!). If I had more money I would be in there 3x a week, but alas :( The salon has a really nice vibe, but if you aren't already a client don't expect to get in right away. The wait is worth it. read more

Let me start by saying that I am very particular about my short hair cut. I have somewhat recently moved from Southern California. It took me years to find a hair stylist out there to understand my hair needs. In short, I was pretty terrified to start over the process in Florida. I have seen Andrew twice now. The first time, he cut and dyed my hair. The second time, he did a brazilian blow out. Andrew is extremely talented and knows his trade very well. It was like he could read my mind. He pulled the perfect color sample of what I wanted to achieve. Also, he understood and was very successful with the hair cut look I was going for. He did a few techniques that hadn't worked on my hair in the past. He acknowledged my concern but reassured me I'd be happy. I completely loved the end result so he was absolutely right. Andrew, thank you so much for giving me the best cut, color, and blowout I've ever had! I should add that Andrew was very easy to talk to and he is a pleasure to be around. The salon is great too. Very friendly, clean, and cute. Complimentary coffee and tea was a nice plus as well. Also, my best friend has had her hair and color done with the Lauren. Her cut and color came out beautiful. She did a dry cut on her. I've never seen my friend's hair look as good! My friend is super pleased with her cut and color. You've got two clients for life! Oh, last but not least, the price is very reasonable. Hair cuts in quality salons in San Diego can be quite a bit more. I was relieved to get a great cut and not break the bank! read more

I love this staff, Jessica gives my insane, thick, curly hair a great smack down when necessary and will do a nice bang-trim in between for no bones. I also sent my picky mom to Marta when she came in from out of state for my wedding and she was surprisingly pleased and loved her! Most awesome is now living in a city where a good haircut only costs $35-$40 after living in Dallas & Chicago where I paid $60 on average. Lucky me. read more

LOVE Lauren's dry hair cut. Best cut I have ever received. She asks you what you want and is just great to talk to. I don't cut my hair often because the last lady I went to scarred me. Prior to coming to Lauren I had not cut my hair in 10 years!! (I know, I'm an extremist). However, now that I know there ARE good hairdressers out there, I don't mind coming in for a trim often. Pre-Lauren that was never even a consideration. Definitely recommend her. read more

I am super picky about my long black hair since i consider it one of my favorite attributes. I've gone from salon to salon, my mom does hair, and multiple friends of mine do as well. As great as they may be, NO ONE has done the magic cuts & color Lauren does! Her dry cut is THE BEST, she's reasonably priced, and I leave loving my hair even more! I highly recommend this salon, and Lauren for a sexy look. read more

Got a haircut here. Not what I wanted at all. Planning to reach out to see if it can be fixed.

Lauren is by far the best hairstylist I have ever been to! She is a skilled colorist and somehow manages to keep my hair smooth and healthy through my frequent color changes from blonde to silver to purple to rainbow and back again. I have been getting my hair cut and colored by Lauren for over 3 years, and she is the only person I trust to do an exceptional job on my hair every time. Not only is she extremely knowledgable about haircare, she has an incredible personality as well! Lauren is bright, warm, and hilarious. Thank you for making me feel fabulous, Lauren! read more

Just called to make an appointment and I was offered 2 dates during the week and I said those wouldn't work and that I'd need the weekend and the receptionist said I'm sorry those didn't work and that was that. No other options offered. I get that we are all super busy right now - but it would've been nice to have some other options. read more

My roommate referred me to Lauren, aka the hair magician. She managed to give me exactly what I was looking for by turning my bleached blonde hair into a gorgeous Ombre. I'm glad I trusted her instincts! Customer for life at this point :) read more

I've lived in Gainesville for 5 years now, and I while the cost is a little high for my budget, I can't imagine anyone else than Andrew doing my hair. Every one I've met at the salon is super friendly, and while sitting there I've more than once glanced at fellow customers and never seen anyone who didn't look pleased (not to mention had a good hair do in the makings), so if necessary, I suppose I would be okay with anyone else who works there. But I also love just talking to Andrew and catching up... read more

As any other woman I am particular with my hair. I thought the wait was short and people were nice at the hair salon. However, I asked for someone who can cut curly hair and they gave me someone straight out of cosmetology school. I decided to be open minded. But I left with hair that looked worst than when I came in.. I looked like a LION with all the frizz!! I unfortunately did not say a thing and this was my fault but I felt pressured because the stylist was pretty nice. Anyhow, if it's curly hair cut your looking for you may want to EMPHASIZE you want someone who has had at least 5 years + dealing with curly hair. This experience has taught me that I should really learn how to cut my own hair instead of paying 45 bucks and finding out they did nothing for you. I guess in a way it was my fault for not saying a anything at the end as well. read more

Best hair cut and color I ever got ! Lauren at The Salon @ 716 is amazing with color and does the best "dry" cut ever. Also, if you have frizzy hair like I do , you might want to try the Brazilian Blowout! I have been living in Gainesville for 13 years and this is the first time I can honestly rate a hair salon 5 stars. read more

I stumbled onto The Salon @716 in Gainesville by reading Yelp reviews, looking for a higher-quality salon. I saw Lauren there. She's amazing--really talented, professional and caring service. She did an awesome job with a color correction and cut. She made great suggestions, and I left looking 1000% better than I went in. She did the works the 1st time, for about $100 (very reasonable in my experience, she was working on me nearly 2 hours). I went back twice for maintenence--less work, so the price was less too. Overall, The Salon @716 has a nice atmosphere, good service and consistently good quality. read more

One word: Mel. Two words: Hair God Three Words: I love her. This girl cuts hair like a master. She's thoughtful, she considers you, your hair, your style, everything, before she does anything. Every hair cut I get from her turns out to be a masterpiece. The amount of compliments I get on my hair is astounding and I always tell them I'm but a conduit to Mel, hair god. Her prices are extremely reasonable, she's incredibly talented and just an overall lovely person. Go to her and you won't ever regret it. read more

Chelsea was the stylist who cut my hair. It was my first time getting my hair cut at Salon at 716 so I was hesitant at first, but she exceeded my expectations and gave me such a cute cut. It was almost an exact replica of the picture I showed her! The rest of the staff were also very friendly. read more

Mel is great! Every time I visit her, she puts in the effort in my haircut, even though it's a simple one. She understands what looks good and can choose for me the kind of haircut I should get. I appreciate the Salon @ 716 a lot! read more

Just move here and have been struggling to find "my hair salon" and believe I just did! Made an appointment with Renne and so happy to have had the opportunity to meet a fantastic person and talented hair stylist! Renne went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied with my hair before I left. Just a good experience from the friendly Receptionist to the finished product! read more

This was my first haircut and colour in the USA! I couldn't have been happier with the haircut or the service.... Everybody is very friendly and know how to treat their customers. My hair stylist Melanie listened to what I wanted, and did an absolutely amazing job... after one visit, I am pretty sure I will now be a regular customer... read more

It was my first time here and Chelsea gave me a great haircut! Showed her a picture or two of what I wanted and she gave me exactly what I was thinking of! read more

I went to see Andrew for the first time on Saturday. Of course, I was nervous, going to a new place/person, but he made the whole experience very easy. Everyone in the salon was very polite and professional. I have tricky hair (thick, wavy/curly, coarse, gray). We talked about me and my hair and what I'm willing to do to it (not much!). I showed him some pictures and then we agreed on a plan. He took off quite a bit of hair (per our agreement!) and it wasn't traumatic at all. I immediately thought it looked great, and I've been getting compliments at work today. Side note: My husband usually makes himself totally scarce on haircut days...he never knows what my mood I'll be in after. So, we were both pleased/relieved at what a great experience this was. No drama!! I'll be seeing Andrew again. read more

My husband and I have been visiting this salon for a number of months now and couldn't be happier. It's a tranquil spot with teas and coffee available if you arrive early and have to wait (which I tend to do). We both see Melanie, and she does a great job with my hair (she understands my desire for attractive, yet no fuss) and she makes my husband look exceedingly hot. :) Highly recommended! read more

I moved to Gainesville last summer, leaving behind my beloved stylist of the past 7 years and first went to a different salon based on the recommendation of a friend. While that salon did a good job with my highlights, the haircuts I got did nothing for my curls and left a lot of damaged ends. I decided to try the Salon @716 based on their Yelp reviews. Andrew did such a fantastic job with my hair yesterday that I practically felt like a new person. He put in some long layers as well as a few to frame my face and then blow-dried my hair straight so I could have that "fresh from the salon" feeling. For $43, I'd say I got a spectacular deal. I will definitely return to Andrew for my future trims and highlights. read more

After reading the reviews in Yelp, I called yesterday and they were able to accommodate me today. So happy I found this place and took a chance on it! Renné took her time and did an amazing job and she is super sweet! read more

Melanie brought my hair back to life. I went elsewhere at first to get my complex bob cut, but I was disappointed and embarrassed to wear it out. Then I met the wonderful Melanie and she made my hair beautiful again. I thought I would have no hope here In gainesville, but she brought hope back:) read more

Melanie gave me a cut and she was excellent! She was very sweet and she did a great job with my hair! She was also completely on time and very receptive to what I was thinking for my hair, and she even gave me tips on how to care for my hair in the long-run. Will definitely be coming back! read more

I have been a regular customer here for years now. My stylist is Robin Stokes. She is just PHENOMENAL! For the price, the experience, and the professionalism you just cannot ask for any better. You are always greeted by great happy people with coffee or tea and snacks. VERY clean. I have found my go to salon and stylist in Gainesville! If you have any doubts please go see Robin, she is the best. read more

Lauren is still the best! Even though I don't live in Gainesville anymore, I still come back whenever I can so she can work her magic!

I have lived in Gainesville for over 3 years and was commuting 2 hours away just to get my haircut and colored. I am extremely picky about my hair. I heard about Lauren at The Salon @716 from a friend. I decided to go. And I'm glad I did! I had long hair and went short. I also had dark hair and went to a lighter brown. I am glad I not only went for a change in location, but also glad to have made a change in salons. Lauren is a great stylists and offers great customer service. What I love most about the haircut from her is that I can style it myself and it looks great. Her color technique hasn't dried my hair out either. All in all a great salon! read more

I was recommended this place by a friend but she mentioned to book with Andrew. He wasn't available so I booked with another one and I wish I hadn't. Not a good haircut at all. I got an old school layered haircut when I really wanted modern layers and I brought a picture with me as an example. It was also very expensive. I have short hair and it was mostly a bunch of layers put in, no blow dry or anything for $50. read more

I've been going to this place since the past 4 years, and have always had a great experience. Renee is my hair stylist, and has always done a great job keeping in mind my skin tone, hair texture and maintenance needs. The ambiance is great, and everyone I've met there is nice and accommodating. read more

The best hair cut I have ever gotten. Thanks Leslie! I'll be going back for all my hair cuts from now on. She and everyone there are really nice. The price is also good. Excellent service and quality, everyone was really friendly. read more
