From the moment I walked in and spoke with Angie I knew I was in the right place. Laurie is an outstanding hair stylist! She is incredibly knowledgeable, talented, and truly takes the time to understand what her clients want. What really sets her apart is her education and expertise in Kérastase hair care. She knows how to assess your hair and recommend the right products and treatments to keep it healthy, beautiful, and manageable. read more

Lori has been doing my hair for several years now and is a perfectionist. I am totally gray and you'd never know it. She does my bling highlights and roots so perfectly it looks natural. Recently, I was out of the country for an extended period and had another stylist do my hair color. They came highly recommended and literally ruined my color. When I came back, Lori squeezed me in and fixed me all up. I'm so so happy with my color and the incredible hair treatment they did. My hair feels like silk and is no longer dry. It's really amazing. Her entire staff are lovely and this is a beautiful, lux salon. read more

Lori did a fantastic job not only on my color but educating me on the best ways to care for my hair type! I'm visiting and decided to book based on the reviews. They got me in within a few days. The atmosphere displays obvious signs that the entire staff is very good at their craft. Very knowledgeable, professional, welcoming and friendly. This will be my go to place when I'm in town read more

I really wanted a body wave perm. Being that perms aren't as common any more I had to go to a few different salons for consults. The first ones I went to told me they simply didn't have the rods that they needed to achieve what I wanted. When I went here I was under the influence that when they said they could that they had the supplies. Being that it was my first time I don't really know much. My hair is way tighter than what I was looking for. I went back to the salons I went to before to see what size rods they had to see if they could have done the same thing for me and they did. They should've turned me away like the other salons that I went to. read more

Michelle is amazing. She knows exactly what you want, very professional, and knowledgeable on hair products. Definitely recommend this business. read more

Had an exceptional experience when I went for my head spa treatment and blowout. The salon is modern, friendly and my service provider put me at complete ease. I have a sensitive scalp and was a bit concerned because I don't like vigorous shampooing or brushing. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it. I would highly recommend this scalp/hair treatment for anyone! And the front desk receptionist Angie, was a doll! Love to see exceptional customer service, it been missing in some salons for far too long! read more

Tangled my hair and the workers there are so rude!! When washing my hair they made the water so hot, it burned! didn't even detangle my hair and cut BELOW the knots! Never coming again!!! read more

Great place! I did a walk in on vacation and they were able to trim my bangs without a wait. Nice ladies and they did a great job.

I have been going to the salon for over 2years. I inquired about extensions and Andrea went through everything with me, so I decided to do it. The first year was fine, then she started raising her prices because she got a promotion . It cost me over a hundred dollar more than previously. I continued to go there. 2nd year they started for charging me per hour for extensions. I had a heart attack when she gave me a bill for over $500. So it took her less than 2 hours for application, and she charged me for 3 hours. She says she was timing it. This happened several times. The last straw was when I was told I have to give them a deposit, because I didn't buy the hair from them??? I was doing that for years. Please do not go there, eventually your price of service will continue to go up, and be treated like they don't care, you don't matter. Its the owner that dictates the price. read more

I have been to Sharmaines several times as we are part time locals. I have always had a excellent experience (it is an experience here) but this time I had color, cut and style by DJ and really feel like I found the perfect stylist there. She was so pleasant to chat with and very accommodating. And her scalp massage was the best EVER!!! Definitely ask for DJ! read more

I was searching online for a place in Clearwater to do an updo for my wedding. So glad I found Sharmaines! Morgan made my dreams come true!!AND the following days it was excellent beachy waves! Thank you so much Morgan!!! Worth every penny!! Excellent salon, classy and fun!! read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. Really really disappointed with my treatment at this salon. This place is a SCAM!!!! Front desk lady canceled my appointment when we got there slightly late to our appointment. We had a big event and they reluctantly agreed only to do a hair wash. I was basically bullied into paying $103 for a hair wash + product. Meanwhile my friend who was there who had the same hair wash + product only paid $50. I am in disbelief that a salon charged 100 for a single hair wash. It's really wrong how they took advantage of us knowing we're not from the area. It's ridiculous and a scam. Will neverrrrrrr go back. Ripoff!!! read more

Andrea is THE BEST. I was visiting Clearwater Beach on vacation and hadn't been to the salon for color for a looooong time. My hair was a wild mess of natural ashy blonde/ brown roots and dark chocolate orange/ brown ends from box dye. I thought, "eh, why not? I'll just give this place a try." I saw Andrea and she is a FIRE GODDESS. She was able to blend out all of my box dye ends and leave me with a gorgeous, natural-looking blonde balayage look. I couldn't believe how incredible she made my hair in one visit! A true artist. It has been a few months and my color STILL looks great. Yes, this salon is a little pricier than some but I fully got my money's worth and will go back to see Andrea next time I visit the beach! The salon itself is pretty and the products used were very high quality. They also have very comfy sinks (???)! Not sure why every salon doesn't have comfy ones like these! Recommend highly! read more

Five stars!!!!! Beautiful salon, the girls are so sweet and knowledgeable, many services offered, I definitely will be back! Highly recommend! Best salon in Clearwater hands down. read more

Critical: Quality Literally the worst fill I have ever experienced. First took over 2 hours. Second the white was not touched she filled only the pink. Worst part is that I now have a fungal infection on my thumb. When I contacted the spa to see if they would help me I was completely ignored, an email with a picture was sent to the manager, she Tiffany would not return my phone call. I would never want a tourist or any other local to receive this type of service. read more

Val gives the best facial on Clearwater Beach ! She came very highly recommended and I am so glad to have her and her hands in the future. Val explained every detail as she educated me on the products and tools. I left glowing and and can't wait for my next appointment. read more

I was looking for a salon to go to in the Clearwater Beach area, but more importantly, a stylist who would be great at the balayage color technique. After reading some great reviews about Abby, I decided to give Sharmaine's a try. Not only was the price of my service affordable, but she did a phenomenal job. The atmosphere of the salon is upscale (and recently remodeled), and they offer some great specials for new clients. Would recommend this place to anyone on vacation looking for a great place to have a hair appointment at, or someone local like myself who needed a stylist (like Abby) who's quality of work is top notch. read more

0 would be more accurate for this review. I decided to give sharmaines a try considering we live across the street. I've heard so many different stories from a lot of people about this place, some good ,some bad , my awesome hairdresser was all booked up for the holidays so I thought , well here's my chance to give them a shot , so I called and I ask for someone who had been there for a while with a lot of experience and they gave me Emily. The biggest mistake I have ever made in my life . My hair was in really good condition until she got her hands on it. She's very unprofessional, non-sociable, she has that entitled kind of attitude. All around not good , so as she's slapping color on my head doing foils she gets it on my Lululemon jacket but to her it's not a big deal , she says "it comes right out " but she didn't get it all out. I was there for over three hours just for partial foils she left the color on for so long I got so nervous so I went to go get her and she told me that I needed to trust her, another big mistake . She fried my hair and in the back of my head she left a big chunk of blonde , she never even gave me a mirror to see the back of my head there was no one left at the salon because of course they were closed, I guarantee this if they were open she would've never been able to leave that crap in the back of my head , she would've had to fix it because other people would've seen it I never had a partial foil take over three hours close to four hours. Emily is not a professional because she would've taken care of how my hair looked in the back . She bragged about being some ambassador for some hairline that I purchased from and she trashed Amazon for selling that hair product saying it was fake.she did a terrible terrible job. Her attitude stinks. everything about her is terrible. But for you people that had good luck with her. It was a miracle on your part. read more

I have been going to Sharmaine's forever because Lori has been doing my hair for almost 20 years and she is simply magical with hair. Yesterday was my hair day and as I was sitting in the chair, a masseuse came up and offered me a hand/arm massage. Well, that little taste of her magic was fantastic and addicting so I went back today for a full massage with Nikki. She is strong, knowledgeable and was immediately in tune with me and what I needed. Regardless of what I'm there for or who I'm seeing, the whole team makes you feel like family. I have fun from the moment I check in to when I check out. When I need to be taken care of or am behind in ME time, the team at Sharmaine's takes care of me without fail. I love you guys. Thanks for being there and being so awesome. read more

Make an appointment with Alicia! She is a full specialist who is excellent at everything. I've gone to Alicia for an eyebrow wax, Brazilian wax, gel manicure, pedicure and facial. My facial was amazing! Her massage technique during the facial felt great, she was knowledgeable about the products and picked the best ones for my skin type and goals. read more

I decided to take a last minute trip to Clearwater Beach for NYE, as a way to let 2020 go. Due to COVID, the person who has been cutting my hair for 30 years was taking a break to be safe. I was wanting something different so I looked up hair salons in the area and Sharmaine's popped up with great reviews. I decided to take a chance, walked in and was matched up with Michelle. I showed her a few pictures as ideas, she talked me through each of them and I just love the end result. She listened to me, provided her professional input and made me feel at ease. I took a big chance walking in somewhere, changing my hair style and having someone new cut my hair, but I could not be happier. Love the new look, so easy to manage and care for. Michelle is awesome! Maureen O read more

Place scheduled me for a hair trial knowing my wedding date and then did the hair trial and told me the incorrect price for the trial on the phone so told me they would do the original price they told me. Then they finish my hair and it was alright but I'm about to leave to pay and then they tell me that can't do hair on the wedding day anymore and won't be available. Then charged me 200$ for a hair trial that wouldn't even matter since they can't do my hair for the wedding. So they said they would double check and call me back to see if they could do my hair and fit me in on my wedding day and never called. Worst place ever! read more

I drove two hours to have a Japanese hair straightening done I was quoted $450 on the phone by one of the owners . I arrived to my appointment and I was greeted by the two owners that brought me to the shampoo bowl shampooed my hair and brought me to the station then they made me sign a waiver saying if " they damage my hair they are not responsible " I asked the owner what would happen if damage did happen she immediately got defensive and told me that we would face time and talk about the situation she said that she would over lap the hair if " damage occured " the second owner told me that the price would be $575 as I am sitting there with cold wet hair I told them that I was quoted $450 and AGAIN defensive . They went in the back of the salon to " talk " and left me in the chair for 10 minutes. They come back and give me two options to charge me $575 ( that's the starting price ) or to blow dry my hair and have me leave the salon at this point I wanted to leave I had them blow dry and iron my hair ... they " professionally " ironed my hair still damp and blow dried my hair with there bare hands no brush was in sight . I immediately got up and left the salon i am just so upset that they would call them selves professionals when they treated someone like this who drove TWO HOURS to have a service done . It's not about the price it's about how I was treated I felt from the moment I walked into the salon I was not treated well and they just didn't want to be there . Oh and on top of that they will call you a " bi** behind your back and argue over you. completely unprofessional and disgusted read more

Wonderful spa. Got my hair cut by Katie, and it's amazing. Great location right by the beach, and a very tranquil atmosphere. Guys can get pampered once and a while too right? They gave great advice on ways I can style my hair without spending more time than I want to. read more

My sister and I booked the Perfect Day package. IT WAS AMAZING! I absolutely LOVED my facial! I have had a massage before at a different location and I hated it, but this massage made me feel completely comfortable and so relaxed. She was absolutely FANTASTIC. My sister is pregnant and they did a great job with her as well. She loved it. The salon was very clean and beautiful. Everyone was so friendly and helpful with every service. I also had a cut and full color makeover with Shannon. I came in with over processed hair that was difficult to work with and was brownish/red. She updated my roots, gave me some highlights, and I came out with beautiful shades of violets and deep purples. I can't say enough about how amazing our spa day was. Thank you Shannon & all the ladies at Sharmaine's for making our Spa vacation fabulous! read more

Thank you to my hair designers Emily and Michelle! Your business is fortunate to have them! Both took great care of me and their work was excellent! Michelle did the Japanese Straightening and it was clearly evident that she was professionally trained and an expert at her craft. In addition I want to do a "shoutout" to Alicia for her excellent eyelash fill! She made sure that my fill was completely filled. She was Quiet and she was really concentrating on such a tedious, careful skill. In comparison,it was so nice to have a fill, compared to a fill that was full of silly jokes and talking. All the staff was friendly and made me feel at home. Especially the "front of the house" The salon was clean and I was pleased to support a local business! I spend winters in Clearwater and would recommend them above all other salons. This is my second year and I will be back! Bravo! read more

Staying at a local hotel on vaca and was referred by the concierge here for a blow out. Called and had a great experience on the phone, front desk staff got me scheduled and were very helpful. Showed up for my appointment and was please to find it was nice, clean and everyone was wearing their masks. Meghan did a wonderful job on my hair and gave the best scalp massage. If this was close by me, it'd be my new hair place for blow outs. Highly recommend this salon. read more

If you're looking for a stylist that specializes in ombre, balayage, all shades of blonde, & more, then I highly suggest that you book an appointment with Abby at Sharmaines. She is incredibly talented! I've gone to see her about 3 times since moving to Clearwater 7 months ago and she's by far the best hair stylist that has worked on my hair. I highly recommend that you go on their instagram account and look at their work and then decide which stylist you would like to book with. That's how I found Abby! Not only is the color in my hair beautifully blended & blonde, she's done so in a way that has maintained my brunette roots and with minimal damage from the bleach. Also, considering they're in a popular area on Clearwater Beach, I find their prices to be very affordable. I wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

If you have half a day to spend getting a manicure, then head on over. I should have known/walked out when it took me over 10 minutes to book an appointment. My husband was the smart one and he walked out. The gal in front of me was trying to check out/pay her bill and book another appointment. The gal at the front desk didn't have a clue what she was doing. Finally the client felt sorry for me and stepped aside so I could book my manicure. When I showed up for my appointment, I was made to wait over 20 minutes because the tech was running late. My manicure took almost an hour and a half... unacceptable! This place needs to get their act together and be respectful of their clients' time. Just saying, management! I will not return and have shared my experience with others. If I were still in town, I would be talking to the owners. read more

We had a large group booked for our blowouts and got the biggest sticker shock. This salon's hair styling is a la carte, which they don't tell you. They charge for shampoo, blow dry, using hot implements (flat iron or curling iron), and teasing hair as separate extra charges. One person in our group with curly medium length hair got charged a whopping $75, just to have her hair curled and lightly teased. We only found that out after we made it to the cashier. Be very, very cautious to ask their stylists for a price as each one has their own voodoo formula as to what constitutes extra charge. read more

I loved coming here to get my hair cut and colored. Abby does an AH-MAZING job at bayalage and ombré. She really listened to exactly what I wanted and gave me exactly what I was asking for. I'm back in Colorado now and have yet to find someone like Abby! read more

I had a really great massage the other day with Brandi. I chose the deep tissue massage, and Brandi has really strong hands and just the right amount of pressure. She kept checking in with me to make sure the pressure was ok. She mixed in some great stretches with the massage, including one using a towel to stretch my neck in every direction. I have a very sensitive neck, but this stretch was perfect. If you're looking for a great massage while in Clearwater, I can't recommend Brandi and Sharmaine's enough. Look on their website for specials too for rates much less than the hotel spas. read more

I brought my sister here yesterday (June 24th). It was our first time Sharmaine's and my first time getting a facial. I got both of us the 'perfect day' package, because I wanted to her to feel spoiled and pampered when we left. We had the Absolute BEST time! The girls were all amazing! They made us laugh, relax, feel pampered, and beautiful before we left. I honestly do not have one complaint. Thank you all SO much for making both of us feel special and taken care of. I will definitely be back! read more

Once you walk in, there are smiling faces. Everyone is kind and they come to the front to greet you. They take their time and ask questions about what you do and what ethnicity you may be. They ask what products you normally use and they give you so many options to choose from without making you confused. I like how they give you a choice. Here for the Japanese straightening I am so excited after so many saying they couldn't see me because they were booked or they couldn't do it because of my hair type. They are licensed to do this and they are doing an AMAZING job. The price isn't so bad for shoulder length. It is a great product and can't wait to come back for my touch-up. read more

We went here to have some hair feather extensions put in our hair. They didn't have a very good selection of feathers, they were quite expensive and they were sparce and thin so you needed at least 6 to be able to see them which cost considerably more. They told us that they would last at least 2 months, maybe longer. They fell out of our hair 3 days later. They put them in with the compressed bead rather than the glue. The glue holds better. The people that worked at the counter was friendly but the others were stuck up and their prices were high. I will not go back there again. read more

I went to Clearwater Beach with my husband on a business trip. While he played Golf I headed to Sharmaine's which was highly recommended by the Hyatt where I was staying. (Even though they have a spa!) I felt right at home immediately. Ashley made my appointments and was very professional and kind. I had my waxing done by Donna who did a great job and provided me with some great skin care advice. I wish I had time for one of her facials. Kathy did my nails. She was very friendly and did a great job on my nails. She was fun to talk to. She even convinced me to do something a little different (added a sparkle to my french manicure). She even cleaned my wedding ring when we were through which I really appreciated. I returned a second day for a pedicure by Kathy. I was way over due and she again did a great job. The salon over all had a lot to offer if I would have discovered them sooner I would have had scheduled a full spa day. The salon was clean, the staff friendly and professional. If my husband's business trip is planned for Clearwater next year I will be sure to return. Sharmaine's Salon was one of the best parts of my vacation. read more
