Tecnicolors

They are the best in town. I’ve been going there for two years now and always very pleased with how my hair look.

The stylists at Tecnicolors are all so helpful and well trained in the art of hair design. Katherine is a HAIR GENIUS! I was so happy with my hair experience. She was incredibly creative and innovative. Katherine took me as a walk-​in but with her skill I am surprised she is not constantly booked.
The pricing of Tecnicolors is a little high, especially for a college student. However, if here you get what you pay for: Amazing hair.

Incredibly skilled staff and great products. Melanie, Brian, and Duane are particularly talented. Melanie is a color magician. Do you want popsicle red bangs and weirdly radical streaks? Done. Do you want nuanced highlights that shimmer in the light and folks swear that it’s your own hair color? Done. Seriously, she can do anything. I’m convinced she has a wand.

I live in the Connecticut /​New York area and I’ve been to a lot of high end salons over the past few years. Technicolors is truly a treasure, and in my experience no salon has been able to measure up. It is because of this that I always wait until I come back to Gainesville to visit family to get my hair cut. Duane usually does my men’s haircut, and he does an unparalleled job– he definitely has a talent for layering and shaping hair in a way that makes you feel like a runway model when you walk out of the salon. But all of the stylists are fantastic, the best in Gainesville really. I couldn’t recommend this place more. If you are looking to get your hair done, this is the place to go.

I LOVE Technicolors! For many years, I wore longer hair. I had a very important job interview to go on, and I wanted a professional look. I booked an appointment with Duane, the owner, after hearing through friends that he gave amazing consultations, and haircuts. My friends were right! Duane listened to my needs, and then gave me the look I wanted. The shorter style gave me the confidence I needed to feel confident for my job interview. I landed the job, and I truly believe it was because of what Duane did for me! I would recommend Duane to anyone!

Love this place. Followed Angela there who has been taking care of my hair over a year. The color rocks and its so easy to book an appointment. I love the compliments after I get my hair colored there. I also love my conversations with Angela.

Brian is an awesome stylist! He’s fun to talk to and gives great hair cuts!

Tecnicolors is a wonderful salon. I have been there two times and had Sydney and Elle as my stylist. I went today and Sydney did a wonderful job cutting and then flat-​ironing me hair super straight. They give your head a nice and relaxing massage while they wash your hair. The lady at the front desk was superb and very tentative in making sure I had a wonderful experience making sure I didn’t want anything to drink. Overall, they have always done a wonderful job for a $ 55.00 hair service.

Really nice salon. Front desk girl was not very happy looking, but Chris cut my hair and he did SUCH an excellent job and was such a sweet heart. :) would definitely go back if I was not moving in 2 weeks.

It’s been some time since I’ve been a client at Tecnicolors, so take this review as not a recent, one-​time specific, review, but a review built on years of going to Tecnicolors from when I was in high school to fairly recently. I don’t go to them currently for cuts and color, but I have nothing against them save the few things I mention below. The Seagle Building location is simply splendid and the salon is lovely and it’s pretty posh for Gainesville.
Two incidents however with Tecnicolors stay in my mind, and they weren’t horrible but still were kinda funny and slightly disturbing:
First, one stylist I got when my long-​time fave Rose left the salon (and town) was from Bulgaria. She was truly a sweetheart but ummmm. .. her English was badly lacking. Seriously. It was between her grasp of English and mine of Russian and some help from another stylist that we got through my haircut. This lady could, however, most certainly cut hair: problem was just communicating HOW I wanted mine cut for her to do her job.
Second incident: with another stylist, I asked if I could get her to color my hair cobalt blue. .. see, I figured if I was going to do crazy color, I had best at least get a pro to do it and where better than at a salon called Tecnicolors? A friend who is a stylist in another city also suggested that I go to an Aveda salon (which Tecnicolors is) for such a wild color job because Aveda makes colorants that would do the trick perfectly. When I asked her about this, she said that yes, Aveda made the colorants to do what I wanted, but she couldn’t do it at Tecnicolors because if some of that blue color got in their pale wooden floors it would dye them and wouldn’t come out. Seriously? I mean they do red don’t they and that also would have the capacity to ruin the floor, no? In any case, she suggested I talk to a stylist she knew at The Strand salon and see if that person would do it. .. The Strand is also an Aveda salon.
So. .. my opinion of Tecnicolors as someone who has been a now-​and-​then client on and off for over 15 years? They know their stuff, they have a good salon going, and they probably can do what you request (except maybe blue hair!) so give them a shot. The two stories above notwithstanding, 90% of the time I’ve gone there for cut or color, they’ve done a stellar job.

I had an early morning appointment for a cut and color. My stylist was 20 mins late for our appointment. I brought in photos of what I wanted my hair to look like and when I left in tears my hair looked horrible! This was a very unpleasant experience. I will never go there again.
