Default need to find a good hairdresser/salon

I am having the hardest time finding a hairdresser who listens to what the customer wants not what they think is best. I have been to 4 different salons and they all did not do what I wanted but what they thought I needed. For instance, I wanted a haircut, showed her a picture and got nothing like that picture. I want a certain color but they all think (even up north I had problems) I need to have a darker color than I want.

Anyway, enough rant. Does anyone know of a hairdresser who listens to what their customer wants? I'm really tired of coloring my own hair.

I've been to several here also and my hair looks worse with every different person who comes 'highly recommended'! Same thing, my hair looks nothing like the picture I show them and my color fades within a week.. I thought it was longer but looked at my calendar today & realized it was a week only! Sorry I don't have a recommendation but I have sympathy! Good luck!

I am happy with Erica at the Urban Hair Studio right off of 466 and 301. Samantha is another popular stylist there. $$$$

I had a ridiculously hard time also when we first moved to TV. Someone mentioned on TOTV that they loved Josephine at Urban Hair in Oxford. I live in Buttonwood but make the drive as I have had my hair ruined at least 5 times previously. She is the best I have found.

Larissa is my go to gal for a few years now - tell her what you want and she does it! Perfect 10 Salon in Fruitland Park (across from Neerly New). She is reasonable, too. 352-217-6819.

I feel your pain. I'm trying Urban Hair tomorrow, but they put me with someone whose name I haven't seen recommended on here. I will say that when I called to make the appt, I was asked a lot of questions about my hair and I've never had anyone take the time to do that when I was making an appt.

If your man wants a licensed barber who can also do hot shaves, my husband recommends Steve at Steve's Barber Shop on Huey Street in Wildwood. Good haircuts, reasonably priced. You can Google the name and make an appointment online.

As for hair salons for women, good luck.

If you color your hair and you are happy with your northern hairdresser, before you move to TV, see if you can get your color formula, including the brand of color, and the processing time. -- Your hairdresser might not be allowed to give it to you because of local competition. But you should be able to get it under certain circumstances, like if you are moving or going to be gone for an extended time and if you are a long-established client. (and a good tipper)

Knowing the brand of the salon color you have been happy with is really important. For instance, the only color that my highly resistant hair will grab is Wella. Not all salons use Wella.

My up-north formula is in my purse, right behind my insurance cards.

Boomer.....who really wishes she could just go gently into that gray hair. It would be so much easier.

Just wanted to come back and say I loved the cut and color I got at Urban Hair Studio. I went to Myra and she was fantastic. She took a LOT of time to find out what I wanted.
Cut, highlights and lowlights is $105 but they have a new customer $10 special right now.

How much does Lindsey charge for a haircut and blow dry?

Great suggestions. Since I just did my own hair this past weekend, I will be sure to check a couple of these out next month. Thanks
