Panache an Aveda Store Salon & Spa

I am new to the area and Beth was terrific. She asked many questions about my hair coloring and what I wanted and then discussed the options I had. I walked out of there so happy. Beth is great at coloring and cut.
I usually hesitate making a recommendation but not regards Beth.

Carissa was my hairdresser and she is the most AMAZING hairdresser I’ve ever had or seen. She is efficient, communicative, and has style. She takes one look at your hair, and knows exactly what to do, and how to do it. She is confident in the work she does, and in return, I was confident in her ability to do my hair, and never did it turn out short of PERFECT! Unfortunately I had to move, however, she came to my rescue when a new hairdresser ruined my hair. She goes above and beyond, and aided in getting my hair back to its original state. If you or your friends go to this salon, absolutely see Carissa! I tried others there due to Carissa being off the day that I needed to get my hair done for a rush work trip, and it was not successful, so she told me to come right in and she fixed it up perfectly. She’s a miracle worker, and a great person! If I had the funds, I’d bring her to any and all places I move because she truly is the best hairdresser I’ve ever encountered. Her work is amazing.

Took my daughter (8 years old) here today for a haircut and Beth treated her like a princess. She was great! The full treatment — peppermint oil aromatherapy and head massage. Her haircut was great! Beth was so sweet and even put a braided headband in her hair before we left… adorable!

My haircut on Aug 22, 2015, was one of the three worst haircuts I have had in my life, and I almost cannot remember the other two. I came in with long enough hair to work with, asked the stylist to leave it as long as possible, and layer and taper. I asked for a style like Hillary Clinton’s, which, regardless of politics, would suit my age and lifestyle .My haircut looked as if she had put a bowl on top of my head and cut around the bowl (she did not, but that’s how it looked). I left looking like a French poodle, ears and all. I am seriously considering shaving my hair off. And maybe I will dye it green. It could not look worse than after that haircut at Panache. If you are a tourist in St. Augustine or at the beach, go somewhere else In all fairness, they seem to have a good local business — people were practically lined up for their appointments while I was there. Maybe I just hit it wrong by taking «pot luck.»

I’ve been coming to this salon for the last three months since I moved to the area and they have been really great. Mandy does awesome with waxings and facials. I’ve seen Carissa for hair and really like that she is open to trying new things but doesn’t ever make you feel pressured to do so.

If you are stressed, over worked, or just looking to relax while on vacation, then I suggest getting a massage at Panache!!! When you arrive you are greeted by the friendly and courteous receptionists and offered a choice of beverages.
They offer several types and levels of massage and I booked an hour deep tissue. The therapist skillfully worked out my tension, I felt FANTASTIC!!! (I have had deep tissue massages at other places and I left feeling as though I went through a meat grinder.)
My massage therapist, Paige, was professional, skilled, and extremely effective at releasing tension while relaxing the entire body.
After my massage I got my hair cut. Again, my stylist, Tasha, was friendly and very talented.
I was extremely happy with the services offered.
Panache is a full service Salon and Spa which I highly recommend.
The clientele are women, men and children.
Located in the Anastasia Publix Plaza between A1A beach and A1A, St Augustine Beach.

I’ve spent the last two years growing out my hair. Came down to St. Augustine to visit my very conservative father who flipped. Anyways, I came here and entrusted myself to Lindsey Slaughter and I am so happy that I did. She was amazing. She listened to my needs and delivered in spades. Excellent job Panache and Lindsey! Thank you. –Andrew

Took my 7 year old son to get a trim here on vacation and loved it. They treated his so good and he LOVES his hair (which says a lot for a kids who hates hair cuts)

Finally found my salon for everything. Products, hair styling, eyebrow waxing and pedicures. I go there for everything and love it !!!

My wife and I love the St. Augustine area, and usually vacation there at least twice a year. When we pick a date, the first three things that we do are: 1– book our lodging, 2– confirm travel, and 3– schedule our appointments at Panache. I book a spa day for my wife — massage, facial, and her favorite, the mani-​pedi. After hearing her rave about all of it, especially Natasha taking care of her mani-​pedi, I decided to give it a try. Now, whenever we visit, when I book all of the services for my wife, I also reserve an appointment with Natasha for myself. It doesn’t get any better than a day at Panache!

Came to town for a wedding and made an apt for hair and make-​up. Taylor did an amazing job on my hair. I can’t say enough about Taylor. She was fantastic. I was pretty disappointed with the make up. After showing a picture to the make up artist, she said «no, you don’t want that, that’s to heavy, it will pull your eyes down.» After telling her I’m a minimalist with make up, she proceeded to cake May face with foundation. When all was said and done, I felt like I looked like a cheap hooker with great hair. I couldn’t wait, when I got in the car, I rubbed as much of the make up off as possible. It took a good 5 minutes of scrubbing/​washing to get all of the foundation off. My issue with all of this, is, if I’m the customer, and I’m paying, why is the artist telling me what I want?. Ladies, don’t waste your money on the make up, I promise, you won’t get the airbrushed look.
Taylor rocks if your looking for a great stylist!!!

I should start out by saying, I very very very very rarely give 5 stars, so please take that into consideration.
I was visiting St. Augustine Beach for a few days with a friend from college. On a whim we made appointments at Panache, I booked a facial and a massage. Normally I enjoy facials more and while my facial was good, my massage was AMAZING!!! I would go back in a heartbeat and book a massage with Paige. I would recommend Paige to anyone and everyone who would listen. Seriously, this is the best massage I’ve EVER HAD!!!

New to area & tried this place since only go to Aveda & WOW I was very impressed. Phillip did my hair which is long & thick & he did an awesome job. Love how my highlights turned out. I could tell he loves his job. So excited I found this place!

Going on day 4 and still have an AMAZING blowout thanks to Megan. I was in town for my baby shower and decided last minute that I wanted to get my hair done, so I called Panache that morning and they were able to get me in. The salon was very nice and it is an Aveda salon, so I knew going in it would be nicer than your typical salon. Upon entering I was offered something to drink (always a nice touch). Megan was super friendly and talked to me about how I wanted my hair to look for my shower. You get a massage on your neck and scalp prior to your blowout. She did a great job and I just can’t believe after 4 days my hair still looks this good. Totally worth the $ 30!

I absolutely loved my Panache experience! I came in with very damaged hair that had a series of different dyes on it and I’ve NEVER liked my hair as much as I do now! Madison, a styling master worked wonders on my hair and her assistant Taylor gave me beautiful toner. She knew I wanted highlights but still took the time to show me a variety of images and pinpoint exactly what color I liked. On top of that it was her birthday and she shared her cake with everyone in the salon. It was truly an enjoyable experience and the results were phenomenal!

overly priced.

At first glance, Panache seems pretty high priced, but for what you get, I think my money was very well spent. I went to Panache for a haircut after reading good reviews and hearing a good word from a friend. My stylist was Chelsea. She offered me something to drink and gave me a brief scalp massage before washing my hair. During the cut, she spent careful time making sure it was right and looked good, which I really appreciated. Normally I’m pretty nervous during haircuts, but I trusted her to do a good job (which she did). I would much rather spend the $ 20 extra dollars at Panache and know I’m going to be satisfied than risk going elsewhere. Definitely recommend and will be back.

Andy did a wonderful job on my hair! She made me feel so comfortable, she was very proffesional .I can tell she really cared to make me happy and that really means a lot to me. I have long hair and i came in for a colour correction and she totally transformed my hair from drab to superstar, i left glowing! The whole process was so smooth, I have a sensitive scalp and I didnt even feel the dye on my head .She also cuts my husbands hair and his hair always comes out looking awesome. My haircut is modern yet classy, even my face looks younger. I cant wait to come back to see what we are going to do next! Thank you so much, Andy! My hair feels amazing, its flowing, it feels healthy and I love itOverall, Panache is a wonderful, friendly, big city salon in a small town ! I highly recommend it.

Tons of training, clean beautiful atmosphere… truly just a gem in the nations oldest city!

I love my stylist, Michelle R. My hair is fine and curly, and she’s very good at cutting it. She doesn’t pull my hair tight, so the curls remain intact (and it doesn’t take a couple days for my hair to recover its style). Also, she realizes you can’t cut curly hair to the desired length — you have to know how it will shorten when it dries — and she’s very good at anticipating this. She checks with me beforehand and throughout. She begins our session with a minty neck and scalp rub and finishes it with her own blend of hair products. She’s genuine and friendly, too.
This is an Aveda salon, and the people there are trained at the Aveda academies. It makes for a stylish, consistent salon. In the past, there were times when the front desk staff’s arrogant attitudes were unpleasant. However, an acknowledgment of this issue on Unilocal,and a staff person’s apology, tells me that this will be worked on in the future. This is a great response for a business to have when faced with negative feedback.
If you have curly hair, request an appointment with Michelle R. at the Beach location. You won’t be disappointed.
