Dina is a magician! I haven't had my hair cut or colored by a stylist in 2 years. She took the time to listen to my concerns and my hair goals. I thought I had shorter, poor colored, and too damaged hair to be worked with. Not according to the genius Dina! She studied my hair, we looked at inspo pictures both from me and that we searched together, then she got to work. She recommend a mineral wash along with a purple shampoo to help with the tone. After a quick cut and the processing, she made my frump look insane. It was bouncy and voluminous. The color was also totally refreshed. I will go back to have her do my color because she totally understood my vision. I was going for a middle between kpop and Sabrina Carpenter while accentuating my features. Nailed it! I have salon anxiety and between Dina being so uplifting and the front desk girlie (sorry didn't catch her name) being so sweet and attentive, I will recommend this spot to anyone. They listen, they are patient, and they nailed the vision. The only downside is the salon chairs are made of a material that has hair stick to it, so you sit in other people's hair. The shampoo bowls/seats were the most comfortable I've ever experienced. They also have a drink bar with teas, sodas, ect. Very cute spot full of talent.

Cristina has been doing my hair for several years. She is very talented and I consistently get comments on my color.

I have been going to Megan for years, she has taken me from blonde to light brown to dark brown to back to my natural black hair. She is always understanding of what I ask, and she has never done me wrong. She is also just overall a great person and someone I consider to be a friend. The salon itself is very asthetic and clean and always smells good. I recommend this salon to anyone in the central florida area!

Followed my favorite stylist here (Michaela) and the salon is beautiful and very clean. I've had nothing but positive experiences. Michaela does all of my color and cut experiences for the last 4 years and she always does an amazing job.

It pains me to give a low rating but I have sat and thought about it and feel it is warranted. I booked a service for a hair cut/style and it appears the stylist is quite busy and when you book it's usually a 3 month wait to get it. I will say that the stylist was friendly and explained the process on the Products and how to apply them and I liked that a lot. What I feel is just not right on a business end is when you book you have to pay $100 deposit. Which is non refundable. I'm fine with a deposit and understand one is needed to secure the time but to make it non refundable and at such a high amount seems like a cash grab to me. What if the stylist quits before my appt. Am I locked in to have to have someone else since the deposit isn't refundable? Also at the time I booked the stylist fee was $210. She increased the amount she charged to $285 and when I asked about it I was told the salon is making her charge the increased fee even though when I booked it was a lower price. Since my deposit was non refundable I felt obligated to pay the increased rate otherwise I would be out of $100 and a hair cut. I feel like with the price of the service that all of the equipment should be in working order also. I would not recommend this establishment just for the fact I feel the business practice of strong arming you into the chance of being charged more than what you agreed on at booking was shady.

I absolutely love the new location! Everything is so gorgeous. I see Alicia for my hair - she is incredible! If you have blonde hair or want to go blonde, definitely see her!

Theory salon continues to be my home for hair. I love the salon, the products and my amazing stylist turned friend, Star! She knocks it out of the park EVERY time!! Thank you Star for giving me gorgeous locks all these years!

Left is before. Right is after.

Poor Service and outcome. Was a loyal client at this higher end, very expensive salon. Always tipped well and had a nice outcome. There was a bit of a communication struggle between what I wanted and the stylist's understanding, but the outcome was always nice. This last appt did not go well. There was a lack of knowledge and expertise on the stylists part and I ended up with something completely different than I asked for. Including my main request, which is to cover my grey. I ended up with grey roots and brown hair instead of my typical blonde hair and root touch up. The stylist was embarrassed and admitted it was not how she wanted it to turn out and said she'd do anything to fix it. We made an appt for the next day and she said to text her later to work out details. Well, I never heard from her again. The next morning her manager called me 2 hours before my appt (which is an hour away) and told me Alicia would no longer be seeing me as a client, and it was no one's fault. There was just miscommunication on MY end from the start, so putting the blame on me. The one nice thing to acknowledge the mistake was they didn't charge me for the appt. She said I could work with someone else in the salon (at full price), which I will not do, because if this is how they manage their stylists mistakes, I will not go back period. Highly disappointed by the immaturity and poor client service of this salon. Do not recommend.

Excellent scissor cut by Heather. Consistently Exceeds expectations. Easy online appointments…read more Highly recommend.

Ryan "cut my hair". Butchered it. Argued about the length. He literally cut the back of my neck…read morewith a razor. He should know how to use a razor correctly. He shouldn't be doing hair. He strolled in 20min late for the appt. His ignorance and unprofessionalism mixed with a lack of talent should immediately disqualify him from ever touching someone's hair, again. He stated he teaches at Pau Mitchell. God help those people. They gave me a refund in the cut but not the tip. Hence the 2 stars instead of 1. The receptionist had a negative vibe. I'm from Denver. This was kind of a podunk salon to me but I guess Winter Park finds it suitable. Ryan cut me with a razor he uses all day. I could get a disease from his poor technique. He also cut me and didn't say anything. Coward. Edit to respond: Unhappy? A blind person can cut hair better than Ryan. There's no "feeling". It's a fact that he cut my hair like an amateur. I went to another salon. They said you hire anyone and that complaints about the quality of hair cuts is something other salons are aware of. Why would I return to allow him to continue or butcher my hair? My neck was bleeding. Your salon is trash. The photos I provided are proof. What a dumb way to try and side step responsibility. Calling you unprofessional would be too high of praise. You manage your salons like Ryan cuts hair. Regardless of the review I'm going to the doctor and I'm calling code enforcement.

I booked a same day appointment after getting the urge to get a haircut. I met with Rebecca and…read moreshowed her the style and length I wanted. After my consultation, I had my hair shampooed and conditioned before returning to the chair for my cut. Rebecca offered to diffuse my hair so I could wear my natural curls, and she even took the time to finger coil my curls before diffusing them. I really appreciated the extra care she put into styling my hair. Overall, I had a great experience at Mosaic for my first visit.

I was in need for a haircut and was recommended this place. I had heard so many good things about…read morethis place that I figured it would be great to try out. Unfortunately, the person who cut my hair did not do it properly and the situation made me feel worse when he basically chose to tell me I'm wrong. To start things off, I'll say the place is very nice and reminds me of a coffee shop. People are very nice and will even give you complimentary refreshments. Parking can be a little difficult since it's in Ivanhoe area. For my haircut, all I needed was a trim. The agreement was just maintaining most of the length and let the hair have some flow and texture towards the top. The guy even ran his hands through my hair to follow the direction it grows in. Next thing I know, he's combining my hair in the opposite direction and cutting. At first I thought it was some technique I'd never seen before. But turns out he fully intended for my hair to go in that direction. At the end, I asked why he cut my hair that way if originally he was even moving my hair in the proper direction. His response was that my hair wants to grow in the direction he cut. I chose not to argue since it had already been done and at that point I didn't trust him to fix it anyways. However, I do know he's wrong. My hair naturally falls in the direction seen in my picture as it dries. Now it has a weird shape on the sides with no life at the top. I'm sure these people are well trained, however I had a bad experience and will not be returning.

When booking, there was only…read moreone option for the stylist followed by a quick survey that asked for pictures of my current hair and desired cut. I was sure to fill this out immediately. When I arrived to the salon (again, DAYS after booking the appt), I was asked to wait to meet my stylist. I was brought back to her chair where she asked me to describe what I'd like. She proceeded to say that she did not feel comfortable cutting my hair type. While I am grateful that she did not jump in while unsure, I did find it pretty upsetting that the stylist and the salon chose to handle this embarrassing situation in front of other clients rather than calling me beforehand or even speaking with me at the front of the salon. Likewise, I have a difficult time understanding the purpose of submitting pictures in advance (which the stylist stated she saw), but then waiting until after I have driven to the salon to discuss. J. Bauman was actually in the salon while this was happening and offered no reassurance or alternative. He sat on his phone in the front of the salon while the stylist told me how "awkward" the situation was. The best that they could provide was asking me to come in a different day (mind you this haircut was for my graduation the next day.) If you have textured, curly hair, I'd be extremely wary of booking with the curly cut stylist and this salon in general. I found that EDUCE down the road was a similar price point with a much more understanding and qualified staff.
