Dominicanas Salon

I was hoping to find a new salon to go to, that is closer to my home. Even though my hair came out good and the ladies were nice, the price was a bit much. I read good reviews including decent pricing but $ 70 to straighten and cut my hair is a little more than i’m used to. The Dominican lady that usually does mine charges me $ 50 for the same. I will say I have long, thick, and super curly hair but I didn’t even get charged that much at a high end salon downtown that did just as good of a job. I wish I would have asked for pricing or that it was posted on their website or told when I set up my appointment. I didn’t think it would be close to $ 70 though because with tip it was $ 80!!! I would have left a little more but the $ 70 was a shocking amount. I’m seriously disappointed because I won’t be returning back.

Will continue to search … The people there were very nice. Polite and personable is all I could ask for. I was looking to have balayage done and I spoke with the owner the day before my appointment to ensure she was familiar and able to do it. She assured me she was capable. Once there for my appointment, I showed her pictures of the color and style I wanted. The end result was nothing remotely close to what I was looking for. The color wasn’t right. And it looks like something my child accidentally did. I will never return.
Based on the response,
Priscilla S: I appreciate the response, but I was quite familiar with the process and look. At the end of the day is what it turned out to look like. And it looks like everyone else’s highlight photos posted. Had I said I wanted highlights the result would’ve been the same. But, thank you!

I would give my experience a complete 5 star or even 10 if the owner wasn’t such a rude beeeeeeeeep. Prices are very affordable and the Colombian lady who did my manicure and pedicure was really sweet and did a great job. If you must bring your kids, I advise you to reschedule to a day you will be able to go alone because they are definitely not welcome. My son had a family member supervising him while I got my nails done and the owner was still completely rude telling me that I should’ve brought a stroller and kept him locked up in it the whole time. Mind you, he wasn’t even doing anything wrong. Just being curious but my family member watching him while I got my nails done was not letting him grab anything he wasn’t supposed to. It’s a shame because I would love to get my nails done by the Colombian lady again except I never want to see the face of that bitter, life hating owner ever again.

Went to the Salon yesterday and I am so happy with how my hair came out. I have a lot of curly think hair and the owner of the the salon who did my hair did an amazing job. I woke up this morning and it’s still super straight considering the Orlando heat and humidity. I am also happy because she gave me reasonable pricing unlike all of the other Domincan Salons in the area that wanted to charge me $ 75+ to do my hair. Thank you!!!

Unilocal reviewers, you lied to me! I am giving this salon two stars and that is only because I really really liked the shampooer. She was super sweet and gave me the best scalp massage of my life.
Also my hair is straight. That is all the praise I have to give.
I went here yesterday as I continue my search for a hairdresser here in Orlando. I wanted a blowout. If you want a blowout and don’t care about the health of your hair, by all means, go here! I, however, like my hair on my head and not on the floor, and thus i will NEVER EVER EVER go back here. I showed up around 2:00 pm on a Monday and wasn’t released– I mean done– until after 5:00. I actually am ok with a long wait when it’s worth it. It wasn’t. As I said, the shampoo was fantastic. I asked for a deep conditioner (thank God given what was to come), and sat under the dryer for 10 min. But then, once my hair was put on rollers, I had to sit under the dryer again for what surely was at least an hour. I even tried to get up at one point (my hair is surely dry by now), and they told me no, and sat me back down. Sigh. Ok fine. But then when I finally got out of the chair my hair was not very straight or flowy. It seems like someone didn’t know what she was doing. After about 20 min, the blowout began. Again, I do not mind a wait when it’s worth it. Ouch ouch ouch. Most painful blowout of my life. It didn’t feel like much was being done to avoid putting the direct heat on my scalp. I literally had to focus on exhaling and relaxing to survive this. At one point I even told the stylist, «No. It’s too hot.» If she heard me, she certainly didn’t acknowledge me besides moving on to another part of my head. Why do we put ourselves through this? Because the blowout is indirect heat which is healthier than direct heat. The point is to use the blowdryer to straighten so that the flatiron is just for cleaning up, if it’s used at all. Not so at this place. She proceeded to go over my head with a flat iron as if my hair was freshly washed (i.e. not blown out already). She also was not gentle about the ironing at all. Way too many passes, way too quickly, way too close to my scalp (which she would not have had to do had she blown out my roots). It’s a miracle I have any hair left at all today.
When it was time to go (after I praised God 72 times), she offered to wrap my hair because of the rain. She actually said «I don’t know if you know how to wrap your hair.» LOL laughable. Yes I know how to wrap my hair, I had relaxed hair for 20 something years, I’m just trying to get the hell out of here. She wrapped it for me and I skipped to the car (I will say her prices are very low). Before I drove off, she called me and told me to take off the shower cap in the car (yes, I know), to wrap it every night (again, I know how to take care of straight hair), and that she’d see me in two weeks (f**k no you won’t!!). All I wanted to do was get home and deep condition. It felt and looked SO dry. The wrap helped moisturize it by the time I got home (~40 min later), so I felt a bit better about it. I moisturized it and rewrapped it and again I’ll say, it is definitely straight today, but hell, it ought to be after all she did to it. I love blowouts and I know a good healthy-​hair focused stylist when I get one. This is not it. If you care anything about your hair get a wash here and keep moving.

I lived in south Florida for many years and was hesitant to try someone new in Orlando so every 2 months for the past 3years, I’d go back to South Florida to see my hairdresser.
I trusted someone else at another place in Orlando and they burned my hair. I’m Dominican so I should have known better when she dried my hair and she didn’t pull and tug like I know should be done. She used a flat iron to straighten my afro. I have thin curly hair so she killed my hair.
When I walked into Dominicanas I was attended immediately. I know it’s because I’m got in here on a Friday at 3:15 but I must mention that because Dominican salons are known for their drying and the wait. I knew I was at the right place when she put rolos in my hair! This place was amazing. I’ll definitely come back to see Isabel!

This worst Dominican salon I have ever been to! I’ve been to a lot of salons and have never experienced anything like this! I went in and asked for a wash and roller set. What I got was a shampoo and blow dry. I guess they were to busy to do a roller set. My mother came with me for a haircut. She wanted simple long layers after her shampoo the stylist said to the owner in Spanish (yes we understood her) can you come cut her hair I don’t know how to do it! The owner responded with I’m busy you have to do it! My mom started to panic rightfully so and asked for a new stylist the owner finally came over and cut her hair and it still wasn’t what she wanted! What a horrible place!!! Don’t go!

Went to this place based on the reviews and must say it lived up to it! Got an amazing wash, little scalp massage and she even threw in a shoulder rub for good measure lol. My hair looks amazing the price was fantastic. Completely worth it!!!

I was traveling for work and decided to get my hair straightened. I am black and i have very curly hair. The service was excellent. My hair came out very well. The owner Maria was extremely professional and friendly. I will definitely go back whenever i am in the orlando/​kissimmee area.

The previous reviews helped me pick this place and try it out. This is my second time coming here and so far I have nothing bad to say. They greet you when u come in the door and are very nice and the wait was not long probably about 5 minutes at the most and I did not have an appointment the first time but this time I did. I love when they wash my hair they scrub really good and make you feel relaxed and they offered me coffee or water. The drying time depends on how long your hair is mine took about an hour and my hair is about to my shoulders. I got a pedicure while I was under the dryer and it was nice I didn’t have to go to a nail salon after getting my hair done. I would recommend this place to everyone because they really know how to give good service make u feel welcome and leaving feeling like a new woman! Oh and Maria is the owner and lead stylist & I think she’s awesome! She checks on you and make sure your okay while your here and I think that adds the sugar on top to the A class service they give. This is my new hair home!

I’ve been coming to this salon for years. The service is great. I do not speak Spanish but Omar and his mom understand exactly what I want every time. In the beginning it was a bit hard but throughout the years it got easier. I’m tender headed and they accommodated me. I can’t go anywhere else. I love how they blow dry my hair.

Awesome Place!!! I was in Orlando at a conference and needed to complete my beauty routine before heading back to NYC. Its not always easy to find a place that knows how to treat Black, thick or curly hair. THIS PLACE KNOWS HOW TO TREAT EVERYTHING!
In the 4 hours I had to spare between the hotel and the airport I was able to get:
Wash-​n-​Set
Mani & Pedi
Eyebrow waxing
My scald was massaged till I fell asleep. The prices are very reasonable and you are treated like royalty.
The staff was friendly, sweet and professional. If you’re in Orlando and need to take care of your beauty needs… this is the place.

I went to this salon for years after a friend recommended it to me. Arelis used to be my stylist and I regret moving to Virginia because I know I won’t find anyone like her. Here everything is extremely expensive and the quality of work is the worst. They burn you, leave your hair the same way you got it when walking in– it’s horrible. I’m just waiting for the next time I go to Orlando to see Arelis. All of the staff is very knowledgeable and very masterful with the hair, the prices are reasonable and is truly worthy waiting hours to get served because the way you’ll leave the salon, you’ll never regret it. Arelis, or any in the Dominicanas Salon, if you read this, you’re the best in all of the US. I bet on that!!!

Hello to those who have rebellious crazy curly hair with a mind of it’s own… behold a place that will give you pin straight frizz free hair.
I been going to this salon about 2 years now for my straight hair blowouts. For having curls that belong in the 80’s era from time to time I just want to give up on putting on rollers altogether and head to the salon to handle the trick.
They first start off by deeply moisturizing your hair then putting roller sets and putting you under the blow seat…2 magazine reads later time for le’ blow dry. Now I had my encounters at multiple salons that blow dry my hair into a poofy afro but not this place. they guarauntee sleek, sheek, straight volumized hair that screams «I just left from a john frieda commercial.»
Totally worth 25 $ for my shampoo y blower. the only thing to look out for is if you have a sensitive scalp the twirls from the blower going back and forth might make u feel a slight discomfort if you are not use to the brushing… but they mean business and salon made hair.
