M Salon Experience

Allison is my Stylist and she NAILED the blonde highlights that I prefer on me!!! I could not be any happier with my results! It was pricey but the outcome far exceeded my expectations therefore, it was worth every dollar!!! I’m now in love with Aveda products!!!

The quality of the color is good, I loved my haircut and all over color by john. He did a great job. It seemed to be a little pricey, so that’s the only downfall. I have to wait awhile on coloring my hair again with him because of the price. I loved my cut and color though, it was the perfect shade of warm brown that I wanted.

Too expensive! $ 270 plus tip. I can find better salon at winter for reasonable price.

So happy that I finally found a place to do my hair. From the moment you walk in, the tranquil spa smell just sucks you in. The greet you immediately and offer you a variety of drinks, from water to wine. My stylist Carlos is truly amazing. All products are from Aveda and they have a wide selection of hair and makeup products as well.

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here. I called on a Saturday on the off chance that they may have an appt since I didnt want to try going as a walk in and be denied, and there was an appt available. The girl over the phone was really pleasant. Once I arrived at my scheduled time, I was offered tea, coffee or water. They also had Mimosas for $ 5 and the money is donated to charity. I went in with not a clue as to what I really wanted other than long layers. My stylist was Iris, highly recommend, she took the time to show me a few different options. The haircut starts with a scalp massage, with oils. It was so relaxing, I could have fallen asleep. The wash was very pleasant with a hot towel left on for the end, made it even more relaxing. The cut was great, and she even showed me tips on blowing dry it just right. They do try and sell you the product, but you don’t feel forced to buy. My hair smells great and is so soft. I made a second appointment in 8 wks to keep my hair trimmed and healthy. The price was average for salons, and with all the extras worth it. I did get some referral cards to recommend my friends to try them out. Everyone was very friendly.

Today was my first time getting my hair done here. A friend of mine recommended it to me. I am very happy. Carlos did my hair and it turned out just the way I wanted it!!! I will definitely come back!!!

We went to this salon because of the Aveda products, however the old staff is gone! This time though the stylist was a sweetheart & very trendy with beautiful hair she did not do what we asked for. We even showed a picture of the color. The receptionist booked a partial highlight appointment when we booked an ombré with highlights appt. Two different things! long story short my daughter ended up with an orange base from dark brown hair and gray frosty highlights! We called yesterday because its been less than one week & she hates it. We all do not like it. They said we have to wait two weeks & book another appt. Very sad because for a young woman hair is important. Hopefully they can fix it.

I found this salon in Unilocal.It is close to my house, is in a plaza with plenty parking. Last week I walk in, no service available, they were booked. This weekend I call and make and appointment. Yeah! I got an appointment with Angela, a very sweet, gentle and nice girl. I did not have to wait too long when get there. She welcome me by name, ask me questions about my hair, my products, and what hair cut I wanted. She offer a glass of wine! You can’t go wrong with a Pinot Grigio. And she did exactly what I want. She started with a scalp massage with aromatic oils… oh my god I almost fall asleep. Then she washed my hair, cut it and blow dry. I spent like 90 minutes there. But I was very pleased with the service and the final results. My hair feels healthy! And looks great. I am going back. She did great with the blow dry! See my picture. My hair is just natural, I don’t blow dry my hair at all. Last time I did was last summer. I am low maintanance in that department. Anyway I am going back to get their products, you can feel your hair healthier! The price was not bad. I have pay more for less. So try it. Ask for Angela she is awesome.

I was extremely happy with my experience. Not many stylists know how to properly handle naturally curly hair, but Carlos was a master. Thanks so much for my lovely hair!

Okay so I a, going to do an update. Basically I have been a customer for YEARS and I’ve been coming in getting my ombré done probably once a month. Every time I come in I spent at least 100 dollars and when it’s ombré (which is all most of the time) I spend over 200 dollars. In total I’ve spent well over 800 dollars here. That’s not counting the last few years here. Anyways I really do love this salon because my hair does come out amazing however I do complain if it isn’t perfect. Anyhow I will explain a very frustrating and honestly heartbreaking situation here.
Case 1: I had an ombré for about a month and I loved it however I wanted MORE and brighter ombré so I scheduled to come in and have it done. I went to the same stylist. The whole experience was going great however I think my stylist was very busy. She was dealing with another customer. Anyways the toner was left a bit too long and my hair looked darker. The ombré part looked a little darker than previous. At first I thought it was probably just because it was the first day so I brushed it off and began washing my hair hoping it would lighten up. It didn’t. No one and I mean NOONE thought I had my hair done. Even my mom said it looks the same. I was so upset because I spend over 200 dollars and for nothing. Anyways I called in and complained because yes I want my hair PERFECT especially for its high price. Anyways they did end up fixing it with another stylist and I immediately saw the difference.
Case 2: so after that ordeal and getting a small trim (80 dollars) I decided to lighten my hair with more ombré and with lighter color like blondish caramel. I know because of my hair is black it will take a couple of visits but I don’t mind. Anyways I went back to the same stylist that got my ombré too dark. Reason I went back to her was because I really do like her she is funny and knows where to place the highlights. I went in and we got started with my hair. Again I think she got over booked because she was dealing with me and another customer at the same time. After I got the toner on I went to check my hair and the left side was ORANGE and the right side where I have the framing hair was BLONDE. My stylist didn’t see it. I did not want to be a cranky customer but I was not going to keep quiet when my hair was orange and blonde. Btw I was waiting to hear when I was getting my haircut. We were also discussing eventually changing the base of my hair black to brown. We were talking about this the whole time and I was waiting for her to confirm weather or not my haircut will be today or next time. Anyways she agreed to put another toner back on. Several minutes later my hair was FINALLY FIXED the color was beautiful. (I HAD to suggest the toner. If I didn’t I would have walked out with orange hair) I noticed that the hair on top of my head the one at the very arch in front of your face the highlight was stripy. Yes it was like a thick stripe going from root to end. I am very picky with my hair and that bothered me a lot. Anyways at the end I spend 240 dollars. When I got home that stripe look was bothering me a lot. It looked a bit tacky. I am a club model and needless to say my hair has to look good in order to book gigs. If the stripe highlight was at the back or hidden I wouldn’t have been bothered but it was right in front of my face!
I called and made a small complain. Sadly my stylist couldn’t fix it bc she was booked and I had a modeling gig that very weekend. I needed it fixed asap. So I called and the manager agreed to have it fixed. Yes I felt a bit embarrassed complaining but my hair is a form of income literally and I have to have it perfect.

Soooo not the same place it used to be. I found out ownership has changed — and it shows. They’ve lost their best stylists and raised their prices. I will highly recommend you go elsewhere. So many better Aveda salons to choose from.
For me, I researched where the original crew went…

John Souza did an incredible job on my hair. He took the time to understand what I wanted and did my hair even better than I anticipated. John understands the Aveda product and knows how to use it to the best of it’s capability. In addition, he looks at the client and offers suggestions to improve their look even more. The four hours that I sat in his chair I rarely picked up the book I brought because I enjoyed our conversation immensely. He has a passion for what he does and truly loves his job. A true artist. I am looking forward to my next appointment to see what else he can do!

They screwed up my hair not once not twice but three times. Never going back again do not recommend it. Very rude staff very unfriendly, totally unprofessiona! l ended up paying 350 that’s ridiculous!!!

I needed to have my roots touched up and my stylist up north would not be able to do my color this month so I walked into the salon and was given an appointment with Yoalis for the following week.
Lucky me. She was able to match my color beautifully. She is very professional and knows her stuff.
The appointment included a blow out that stayed beautiful for two days plus. There was a hand massage included while my hair was being conditioned. Very nice.
Don’t hesitate to book a color/​style with Yoalis.
I think that I’ve found a new stylist whenever I am here in Orlando.

I was a little skeptical about giving Matthew Michael’s a try, especially since I did not see any reviews for spa services on Unilocal.I am glad I went ahead. It was my first time here and Stephanie was wonderful! I really enjoyed the service and it was exactly what I was looking for. Very calming and she was very thorough with the cleansing/​extractions. At the end I received some coupons for future visits, also 20% off any skincare products for the first visit. I will definitely be back.

I’ve been here a few times. I only took away a star because it’s a little pricey, but I’ve been happy overall with my services. I had my hair done twice by two different stylists. I liked the outcome both times, but one stylist didn’t like my previous style and didn’t mind telling me so. I didn’t really need his opinion on that. I really have to compliment the nail salon area. I brought my mom in here for a mother-​daughter day, but it was pouring down rain! They warmed us right up and dried us off. The nail area is super cozy and the nail techs were sweet and personable. I’d highly recommend the nail salon as I’m pretty sure it was the best pedicure I’ve ever had! :)

A friend recommended Matthew Michael’s to me after I had some trouble finding a good salon. When I got to the salon, my stylist wasn’t quite ready for me. It is a very small waiting area, and I felt that I was in everyone’s way while waiting. Once he was ready, he offered me some water or wine. The stylist was very nice, but I felt that he didn’t listen to my needs/​wants.
I brought in a picture to show him, and I don’t even think he looked at it. He heard me say layers, and away he went cutting. I wasn’t happy was my cut at all. For my next hair cut I went somewhere else. My new stylist told me whoever cut my hair last needs to learn to check their layers. She was right! She showed me areas that were cut very unequally. I didn’t totally dislike the experience, but I just don’t think it was all that great for the money.

Allison was wonderful. I travel all year, so finding someone to highlight and cut my hair is a real challenge and many times I will get the new person. At least at this salon, I could specify and pay for experience. So, I got perfect highlights and since I am growing my hair out she just trimmed the ends. She really takes the time to find out what you want your hair to look like. The head massage was really nice too.

Super disappointed with Matthew Michaels. I went in for a bikini wax — which I’ve had done what feels like a million times. My esthetician was super friendly and extremely nice. However — the typical 30−40min service took an hour and 20 minutes but that was the least of my concerns.
I was told that we would be using hard wax since it was «made» to get hair out of that area — talk about painful; I lasted about ¾ of the way when I asked if we could finish using strip wax instead which we did. I knew when I left that this was not a great job but at least it was done. Boy was that a mistake — I got home to realize that there were patches of hair left behind — what was the point of the wax again?
The next morning I had red patches — which looked the result of the wax being to hot or the skin being tugged at so hard. I called the salon and spoke with a very nice manager who assured me that their goal was to make sure I was happy and he would speak with the spa manager. Yet, when I heard from the spa manager I was made to feel that because I had asked to use strip wax it was my fault. Are you kidding me? She asked for me to come in and she would personally fix me up — hello my skin is damaged and you think I’m going to put wax near it anytime soon?
I was not given a refund, instruction on how to care for my skin or true customer service at all. Oh but they offered me $ 15 off next time I go in. I will definitely not be going back.

It’s been like a week and I actually like my hair EVEN MORE now!
Went to the beach yesterday for the true test… salt water is a great litmus test for curly hair… it’s that perfect Shakira, morning after hair. YAY!
