Best Beauty Salons In Gainesville

“I had the privilege of taking my 15 year old daughter to Ziba for her first ever eyebrow threading. She was kind, fast and professional. We will definitely be back.“

“I love this salon because everyone is amazing! Specially Donovan who is there to greet you and assist you with anything you may need. I have been going to this Salon for the last 5 years and I love the professionalism and the excellent job that Britney does in my hair. In these years I also tried many of the other stylists when Britney was absent and they all are good. I highly recommend it!!!“

“Great experience!! Super fast, patient, personable!! My braids are so beautiful, neat, clean!! Will definitely be back and recommend to others!!“

“Glenn has magic hands! She had my hair washed, blow dried and braided in under 4 hours! She’s quick and does amazing work. The atmosphere in the salon is always so family friendly. This is now my go to salon!“

“Came for our nieces birthday. The staff was so sweet & patient with our group of 4 year olds. All of the girls had such a great time. Got their nails, toes & makeup done. We will definitely be back for more girls days !“

“I have thick eyebrows and going to a new eyebrow place is always a gamble but the woman working there, I believe she's the owner, did an amazing job. Also Komal, her assistant, gave me a lash lift that turned out fantastic. The prices were very reasonable and I definitely will be going back.“

“I’ve been going here for almost 10 years for eyebrow threading. Will always recommend her. She has taken the time to show me how she shapes and what areas we need to work on multiple times. Easy, walk in, does a great job every time“

“I wanted to update my previous review because I believe it’s important to recognize when a business goes above and beyond to make things right.

After my initial haircut experience, I was honestly very upset. My hair is one of the most important parts of how I feel about myself, and the front pieces had been cut much shorter than I wanted. It was something that couldn’t simply be undone, so I was understandably disappointed.

The salon reached out, listened to my concerns, and scheduled me with one of their senior stylists. I truly appreciate how seriously they took my feedback. She took the time to understand exactly what bothered me, explained what could realistically be corrected, and carefully worked on blending and reshaping the front pieces.

I’m genuinely happy with the result now. The difference is huge, and I finally feel like myself again. While hair takes time to grow, the way they handled the situation made all the difference. They were kind, professional, patient, and never made me feel like my concerns were being dismissed. Claudia went above and beyond :)

Thank you for listening and for helping me through the process of fixing my hair. Great customer service isn’t about never making mistakes—it’s about how you respond when something doesn’t go as planned. I really appreciate the care and effort everyone put into making things right.“

“I've been coming here for my eyebrow threading, and I couldn't be happier! She is incredibly skilled, detail-oriented, and always takes the time to shape my brows perfectly to complement my face. My eyebrows consistently come out clean, symmetrical, and natural-looking“

“David is the best in town. Guaranteed Razored edges, smooth/even fade & color enhancement to top it off. And prices are actually affordable.“

“Staff is super sweet and fit my friend and I in last minute. Great prices and skill 😊“

“The best beauty salon in the area. Everyone is so friendly, helpful, and experienced. Even the front desk staff is amazing! A perfect one stop shop for all things beauty!“

“I always get so nervous about letting people handle my brows but this was the best experience. They are clearly educated in their craft and know exactly what they're doing. My brows came out looking so good and I got advice on where to leave room for growth instead of having somebody overplucking. Will definitely be back and highly recommend it anyone Gainesville. My skin is really sensitive but I didn't come out with fairly any redness or irritation and the products they used to soothe my brows smelled good which is always a nice little plus ?“

“This was my second visit, and I’m incredibly satisfied with the results. Bee made my curls look amazing ! 🫶🏼“

“Ali did an excellent job on my cut and was able to squeeze me in on short notice, will be returning!“

“Marvin is the best! I absolutely love my new hair and the color is everything! His customer experience is second to none, and his professionalism is truly exemplary. I couldn’t be happier!“

“I had the best experience at this salon with Andrea she was popping up everywhere instantly on tik tok when I was in desperate need of IBE extensions stylist for not only length but adding volume to my thin hair !! Once I watched so many videos of her work I was already sold and booked an apt .

Poor Andrea had to first deal with my preexisting green hair which happened from my purple hair color fading out terribly ? but she took that project on with no hesitation and full faith in her skills to get my hair ready for the extensions not only did she get rid of all that nasty green hair and do an amazing transformation on my natural hair but also blended my new color beautifully into the extensions I had picked out I was in shock how well it matched I couldn’t even tell where my natural hair ended ??

My hair type is very thin and fine which led me to have concerns of the weight it would put on my hair but I can’t even feel them they are so lightweight feels so natural and whole process was amazing from start to finish she really listened to my concerns from past experiences and turned my hair into a master piece ????

Picture below I wish I had picture of the green to show the before n after but the final picture shows justice for sure ???“

“Katie is exceptional and fixed a very bad haircut for me. Salon is clean and tidy. Prices are reasonable. Highly recommend Katie!“

“Painless, and instant beauty. Adrian is amazing . Im elderly and have lost most of my brows. Now, I dont have to worry about drawing them on any longer. She chose the exact right shape and color for me. Healing was a breeze. I have gotten so many compliments. I feel beautiful and younger now. Stop procrastinating and make an appointment. You won't regret it.“

“Jess did a great job. Provided a great cut and style despite my inability to communicate what I was looking for lol thank you!!“

“Highly recommend! Ask for Donnie, He is Super talented and one of the nicest humans you will ever meet“

“Tweet is always professional, reliable, and friendly! I can relax(almost in a good sleep lol) while she enhances my beauty! I just love her“

“If you’re looking for a hairstylist who is not only skilled but also passionate and genuinely cares about your hair’s health and beauty, look no further than Shannon! She’s been doing my hair since her cosmetology school days, and over the years, I’ve been able to experience the true artist and professional she is to this day.

Shannon’s knowledge and expertise are unmatched. She’s transparent and honest, always taking the time to explain why something will or won’t work for me, and she consistently delivers gorgeous results while setting and meeting realistic expectations for what I’ve asked for, based on the state of my hair at the time. I’ve always trusted her opinion—whether I’m considering a bold new look or debating (yet again) whether bangs are a good idea. No matter what, she’s made me feel beautiful at every stage of my hair journey.

She’s also dedicated to staying on trend. She shows how she regularly takes classes and pursues continuing education to learn new skills and techniques, ensuring she’s always up-to-date on the latest styles and innovations in hair care. This commitment to growth and excellence shows in her work, which is always fresh, modern, and absolutely stunning.

I’ve been lucky to explore so many styles and colors with her—blonde, red, dark brown, purple, extensions, and everything in between—all while keeping my hair healthy and manageable. Even during a tough period when a medication left my usually long locks thin and brittle, Shannon guided me through the change with so much care and grace. We decided together to cut my hair short for the first time in my adult life, and she turned what felt like a drastic change into something fun and refreshing.

Her talent speaks for itself—I constantly get compliments on my hair, no matter what stage of grow-out it’s in, and I always proudly say, “It’s Shannon’s work!” Whether I see her once every six months or more frequently, she’s always brought her A-game, and her passion for her craft shines through every time I sit in her chair.

Remember, some results take time, so make sure to look through her booking timeframes and service descriptions! Shannon may make the end result look like magic, but the most dramatic (healthy) transformations take time. ?

Shannon is more than a hairstylist; she’s a true partner in my hair journey, and I can’t imagine trusting anyone else. I’ll be her loyal client until the day she (deservingly) retires—and even then, I’ll take her most trusted recommendation as my next stylist. She’s an absolute gem who will make you feel like one too! Hope my lengthy and honest review shows: I absolutely recommend Shannon!“
