  5. Lorrie says:

    I am looking for a salon in the Orlando area that is reputable, trendy, “edgy” and stays current. Also – a stylist that knows how to layer properly. Just a note: I had a consult with a well-known salon in Winter Park, FL – and it did not go well.

    I appreciate any suggestions.

    Thank you.

    OnStage Hair Design in Beaumont (Dowlen Rd) is great!! The stylist are awesome and have attitudes that rock, the atmosphere is great, prices at first I thought were insane but when I learned the breakdown of the price it was more than worth it, they have a tremendous amount of products to choose from, and they treat you like family there.

  7. samantha says:

    If you live in the north Houston area, On Stage Hair Design is the place to go! Mens, Womens and children hair cuts and awesome color, they can do it all! Not to mention a great spa with top of the line hair products and skin products! The prices are reasonable and the quality of service is you get is above any other salon I’ve been to.

    I love Inspirations Hair Salon in Sea Girt, NJ! Friendly atmosphere, with great stylists , they are very up to date with new trends, like Featherlocks! I just got my featherlocks and they are so cool! They also give the best Keratin treatments in the area, because they use a air purification system that most salons do not have.

      Thank you Evelyn for the recommendation! Would love to see a photo of you with your new look…

    Pharaoh’s Hairum in Henrietta, NY. I have the absolute best hair stylist…Natasha…I don’t have to spend 15-20 minutes explaining the cut I would like. She knew from day 1 what I wanted. Great tips and suggestions always.
    Myself and my daughter go to her and I’m so glad we found her!!
    She knows I’m on the edgy, funky side and she’s a great colorist as well.
    It’s a relaxing experience when you visit Pharaoh’s and I would recommend it to anyone in the area :)
