Inside an older downtown Gulfport building, you'll find an oasis of comfort and peace. Ariel was well-mannered, strong and focused on giving my tense muscles the relief they needed. I felt like a new man walking out of my 90-min massage.
Michelle is fantastic at listening to you and how you want your cut, colored, or dreaded. She is a great Master barber/stylist and I am so glad I found her here on the coast.
Dee has multiple barber shops in the Gulfport area and he has definitely taken barbering to the next level on the gulfcoast he is an outstanding barber
Very professional, friendly, fast service.. The barber worked my Son in on short notice just in time for my birthday trip.. And it was so greatly appreciated.. I had to leave 5 stars & a big Thank You!!
I just had my lashes done here and I had a really awesome experience . I love that they use a comfy lounge chair , she really listened to how I preferred my lashes and they came out beautiful thanks again !
I seen Angela Wilson at Salty Hair Studio and she was absolutely wonderful. For someone who gets anxious and nervous about haircuts, she was comforting and actually listened to what I wanted/ didn’t want and gave her honest input. She had me feeling brand new at the end of my appointment. ?
I also see Ashleigh DeMorst here for my eyebrow threading and she always delivers excellent satisfaction!! ?
I’ve been going to Sydney for the past 2 years, and I would never go to anyone else! She always brings my vision to life and does an amazing job every time. I would highly recommend her!
Great atmosphere. Love the ladies there even tho it was my first time there. I would highly recommend going here for I'm gonna say just about all your hair needs!

I absolutely loved my experience with 25 daisies and Jamie!!! She did an amazing job with my mom's and my hair was a complete mess and very unmanageable, but Jamie changed my life and definitely helped my hair!!!!
Absolutely Beautiful salon!! The atmosphere is very calming and relaxing. The owner and her beauticians are highly Skilled and very professional. I Will be back and will recommend to everyone I know!!
I highly recommend you get your haircut by Mrs. Missy. She is very precise and makes sure that you get what you ask for. Couldn’t be happier with my haircuts!
I’ve been looking for someone to cut my hair since moving here. I stopped randomly at Fusion and made an appointment with Stephanie. She gave me the best haircut I’ve had seriously in 10 years! My hair is not easy to cut because of lots of cowlicks but she did it and I love it! I will definitely be back! Thanks Stephanie!

I absolutely loved my experience with Kenya! This was the first time my natural hair has ever been professionally done and silk pressed in 4 years. Humidity did not stand a chance on this style! I trusted her with my tresses and she did not let me down! She is now my forever stylist
Mrs. Ann is simply an amazing hair dresser. She is fast, and gives exceptional attention to the client's needs. Her salon is very welcoming and she is always throwing in little extra happies/gifts to her client's.
Hands down one of the LAST true Barber ? shops on the coast!! You must try this place out here. No appointments, Cash and it was $15. Also great conversation!! I will for sure be back on the regular!!
Best haircut I've gotten since coming to Gulfport. Fast and friendly service and they also have military discounts for those in the service. I don't remember the kind womans name but she did a phenomenal job and was the only female stylist there.
Dee has multiple barber shops in the Gulfport area and he has definitely taken barbering to the next level on the gulfcoast he is an outstanding barber

Excellent hidden gem! The shop is clean, barbers are animated and know their business! Brandi cut my hair just how I like it. Will be my #1 go to shop when visiting Gulfport/Biloxi area
Corky is a good barber. Starting getting cut by him about a year ago and never looked back. Cool dude, professional, on time, and most important the cut is right all the time.
Very professional, friendly, fast service.. The barber worked my Son in on short notice just in time for my birthday trip.. And it was so greatly appreciated.. I had to leave 5 stars & a big Thank You!!
This is a great place. I’ve always gotten really good haircuts. John the barber always gets me right. Also has good conversation and he’s a funny guy and super easy to get along with.
Cornell did a phenomenal job on both my husband's hair and my own undercut. He did it quick, professionally, and with good conversation. Side note - our daughter enjoyed the play table.
Cuts are crisp. They are military friendly welcoming ALL races. The atmosphere is great with a family vibe. If you looking for good barbershop conversations and an awesome cut, checkout Anointed Touch.
10585 Three Rivers Rd Suite 5, Gulfport Mississippi 39503
Absolutely loved this place! Veteran run!Called last minute, and they squeezed my son in so he was able to have a nice haircut for his birthday. Wonderful customer service, they were very friendly and kind to my son and I. Brian Jones knew how to do the hairstyle I asked for, and my son loved it, and so did I. Highly recommend and will definitely be going back!
Today was my second time getting a spray tan with Tammy and I’m honestly so impressed with how they both turned out. The color is natural and the application was smooth and streak-free. She made sure every detail was blended perfectly. The whole process was comfortable, quick, professional, and customized to my skin tone. The formula dried quickly and didn’t leave a sticky feeling some spray tans have. My first spray tan faded evenly without any patchiness. Overall, it exceeded my expectations, which is why I chose to come back today. If you’re looking for a flawless, natural-looking glow, Tammy is absolutely worth it!
When you grown up on these beaches with baby oil mixed with iodine, you kinda need to stay tan or things don't look quite right. Palm Beach is clean with all the fancy beds and products, but most of all they have a super sweet staff who are all very helpful. I love that my daughter can freeze her membership in the app when she takes off to school for the semester. I still haven't used the app but maybe over the holiday she'll get me set up. Palm Beach also has a super fancy spray tan machine and I typically don't like to spray tan for many of the usual reasons but they hooked me up with the right color custom formulated for my skin and the color I wanted to achieve. I got in the booth and I couldn't believe how luxurious it was - no cold hold my breath am i gonna make it kind of experience NOOOOO it was warm and dimmly lit with heaters blowing me dry. It was so worth the smell. If you're gonna tan, go to Palm Beach! They won't let you burn and they won't let you start looking like tan mom.
I called the beginning of last week for information on a spray tan because i had the be our guest coupon. She said i would get solution for free and then would pay for the extras and then educated me on everything including all the additives, scents and quick additive (forgot name) She even told me the best day to spray before my event is always 2 days or the day before which i had no clue about. After i went in i spent only about $16 for my entire spray tan and saved about $35+!! I did 2 bronzers with medium, and an enhance! The atmosphere was energetic, and very welcoming and the girls all made me feel so good about myself and helped me so much. Thank you so much for all the information! Even the regulars coming in even helped me pick stuff out. This place is beautiful and has so much and a sauna!! I did come immediately back for the unlimited membership the sweet girl told me about. The girl made sure i got a cheaper membership that was on sale and a sauna session!!!!

My wife and I went in yesterday to get pedicures. As soon as we walked in they treated us like family and very friendly. Great pedicures and highly recommend!
I had an amazing experience with Sammi, she was very knowledgeable and highly experienced. She set an amazing tone for our appointment and exceeded my expectations! 10/10 highly recommend and I will definitely be returning my next time in MS!
Blooming Nails is absolutely the BEST!!! Jennifer is the best natural nail technician on the gulf coast. She takes her time, is super personal, and has amazing attention to detail. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
Been going here for years and Mrs. Tracy and Mr. Daniel and the rest of the staff are always accommodating and courteous! Always pleased with my service!- Alicia (it’s showing under my sons name for some reason ?)
Friendly staff, amazing atmosphere. Get table 4 if you can it is the best ?. This is my favorite place to get my nails done. 100/10 would recommend this place! ??
I got my gel x nails done here, and they did great! I absolutely adore this set. They had good service, free complimentary drinks, and a great atmosphere.
I found this location on Google because i was traveling for work and needed my nails done bad and i am glad i found this place! Each and every person there was so nice, very clean and organized establishment. Ms Kim did an amazing job on my nails, and the pedicure was amazing. Overall great experience. I’ll definitely visit again when I’m in the area!
I absolutely love Huyen ! I've been going to her for 10+ yrs and recommend her to EVERYONE ! IF I GET MY NAILS DONE SOMEWHERE ELSE I DON'T LIKE THEM OR THEY MESS THEM UP AND I HAVE TO GO TO GET TO FIX THEM !!
Amazing staff and amazing work! Kim was such a kind lady, very passionate about what she does. I always look forward to coming in! Great environment and great experience!
“I have curly hair and finding someone who truly understands it can be a challenge-but Sarah nailed it! She’s a new talent and did a phenomenal job.My curls look beautiful, defined, and full of life. I’ll definitely be back!”
Michael is awesome at doing color, I'm extremely picky about my hair, and Michael aims to please his clients, which is very important. He is the best ? ?
The salon is very beautiful and welcoming. Love ❤️ you guys. Mrs. Linda Liz, the entire staff. Xoxo
I had an appointment with Cody, (11/3/23) he was so patient and kind with me, (he allowed me to bring my kids with me, on the promise they'd behave, minimal bribery and the promise of reward for them was required) he transformed my overgrown blonde hair into a beautiful cut and color, he was thorough, and his attention to detail is unmatched!! Im obsessed. The salon is clean, styled beautifully, and has such a calming accepting environment. The owner is also just so lovely. If you're searching for a new salon and spa look no further!!
I've been going to Polished for years, and I can't imagine going anywhere else. The staff and atmosphere are truly amazing. I highly recommend booking with Rachael or Cody. They are amazing!
When u walk in.....I'd think ur in a palace Place is immaculately clean, great smelling n staff is very friendly ??

If you want to look FABULOUS for your wedding day, we highly recommend Antonian Salon. The stylist and make-up artist did a great job on the Bride and the Bridal Party.

Hi! I just moved here recently and was in desperate need of a full hi-light and was able to get an appointment with Rebecca. I am extremely pleased with my hair and will definitely return as she was warm and welcoming and we talked the whole time?
Kim does it all! Beauty supply, hair braiders, AND a barber all in one spot. Very convenient and professional. The only place I’ll come get my hair done!
Tamika is the best hairstylist. She is very professional, sweet, and kind. Very creative. Please don't hesitate to book an appointment. You won't be disappointed. ❤️
This place does. Very professional job. I had a severe crick in my neck and Dustin got me feeling better. Definitely a go to spot for a massage and other things. Book online save time!!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Nicole at Bridges Skin and Body is absolutely amazing! From the moment I walked in, she made me feel completely comfortable and cared for, never rushed.
She gave me thoughtful, personalized tips and recommendations on what skincare to add into my routine, and really took the time to understand exactly what my skin needed. She explained everything in detail, which I truly appreciated.
My skin has never looked or felt better, honestly, it looks better now than it did in my 20s! I’m beyond impressed with the results.
I love Nicole and will definitely be back monthly for my facials. Highly recommend!

Mercedes Cash is THE BEST!! She has been my esthetician for years.... She's so good I have followed her to three different places.... And I'll follow her again if she moves in the future!
Relaxing atmosphere and the staff is great. Very clean with nice decor and good variety of amenities if you need them. Krystal is the most amazing massage therapist!! We travel from Florida and a massage with Krystal is must during our stay.
Excellent customer service and professional work. You get what you pay for in most instances... it's better to have the job done right the first time! This company has never left one of my job's unfinished. Would use them again with complete confidence.
Had a leaky outdoor pipe valve that was making a huge puddle in the yard. Plumber was an extremely nice/polite young man (didn't catch his name) he figured out the issue, had the replacement valve in his truck, had it replaced within a half hour and even showed me the broken valve. Amy in the office was very nice and kept me updated. Pleasantly less expensive than I expected. I'll be using them for our future plumbing needs/help!
keion came out today on a sunday morning and retrieved a device that the previous plumber left in our home. amazing customer service and a great person to do the job. he also prevented me and my mom from paying over $3,000 which is greatly appreciated !! Great person to talk to and will definitely be a go to for future plumbing related issues and or projects.
Had my mom and dad’s house septic tank emptied today. Couldn’t have asked for a greater team! On time, friendly, hardworking and honest. Highly recommend. Called one day and they came the next!!!
I recommend Mr. Electric and Dan Zimmerman!
Dan came and did some residential electrical work for us.
Kind, courteous, and knowledgeable.
Absolutely wonderful service.
Thanks again!
Top tier help. Had a client in Waveland needed her storefront door lock changed. Hardware stores and major box stores near there didn't have a replacement. Only Necaise was friendly enough to tell me they have replacements. Drive to Gulfport. Necaise was able to swap them out while I went to lunch. They fit like a glove. Thanks you guys for quick and helpful service.
Thank you Lifesaver 100% weighted for the guy and they couldn't figure out what happened but this nice guy came was super sweet and fixed my car got me on the road again and only took him 16 minutes he needs a raise. Thanks Ka'Shawn! You need a raise !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or promotion!!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent from initial appointment call to timely arrival. Price quoted was the price that I paid and did extra work and didn't charge. Will definitely use them again. We have been looking for a company this professional and dependable. Wow, just a wonderful experience. Thank you again, what a blessing, the office looks fabulous. Didn't think that this carpet would ever look new again--totally impressed.
We’ve used Gulf South on several post construction cleanup jobs and they have been punctual, thorough, and fair priced. Our newly remodeled kitchens and baths are shining after the cleaning and our clients greatly appreciate it.
This is a great company. The owner took the time to sit down with me and go over every little detail and very fairly priced. She is the best in the biz. Highly recommended.Service: Deep clean
Nickki did an excellent job cleaning my house. She is thorough, efficient, and I enjoy her cheerful personality. I gladly will recommend her for any cleaning jobs. My house looks awesome!Service: General housekeeping
Jeff and his team did an outstanding job with our home! His staff is very welcoming and a pleasure to work with. The installers were cleaning as they installed, courteous, knowledgeable and helpful throughout the process. Most of all they were on time when they said they would arrive! Please consider this company!
We went by the store on Hwy 49 many, many times, and the staff was ALWAYS so friendly, kind, and patient. We decided on flooring and set up the installation. EVERYTHING went smoothly and as they promised. Our installer Mr Scott was wonderful to us; always on time and always willing to do anything to help make this process work. Could not be happier with Floor Trader!!!!!!
While working in the area, I stopped in to ask some questions about flooring as I am in the process of remodeling a house. The owner took the time to answer my questions and gave me a recommendation that aligned with him not getting the sale as he thought it would be the best thing for my needs. While I can’t vouch directly for their product or work, I can say, from my experience, they seem to be honest people…and that means a lot more.
We shopped everywhere — from high-end stores to Lowe’s and Home Depot — before choosing three-quarter inch hardwood from Lumber Liquidators Gulfport. Best decision we made.
Manager TJ Kyser sets the tone with a smile that radiates before you even pull in. Associates Christopher Farmer and Jaidon Evans match his professionalism with detailed answers, clear explanations, and a smooth billing process from E-sign to final signature.
This is customer service done right — knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in making sure you leave happy.

Toby and the Ambrose Construction team exceeded expectations with their rafter replacement work on our commercial project. The craftsmanship was top-tier, communication was seamless, and the job was completed efficiently and professionally. Quality crews like this are hard to come by—we’ll absolutely be working with them again.
Bob refinished my bathroom tub and tile. It was blue tile from 1960’s. It is now white & shiny and looks great!!! He put in a non-slip surface in the floor of the tub. He also gave me cleaning instructions with a 10 year warranty. Very pleased with his work & he was very punctual & cleaned up after his work. I highly recommend using him.
Josh Wagoner and his team finished breaking down old (I mean OLD fence) and replaced it with a new fence. On time finished professionally, could not be happier. Josh showed up early and finished in good time. We want him to do remodeling of our house! He will be our “goto” contractor!
04/15/25 Mr. Gary arrive on time and did a MORE thorough evaluation of the outside electrical main circuit panel than the other 2 and even located the grounding rod which one electrician said was missing. Meaning my panel was compliant with building code and even 20 years old was still in decent shape, not requiring replacement at this time. Felt this was a better and more trusted company to do business with.

The crew was working in my neighborhood. Niki stopped and visited with me about some problem trees. A few hours later they were down and cleaned up. Really did a great job at a reasonable price. I highly recommend them.
Just wanted to give a big thanks out to this crew. My mom had a very large tree that needed to come down. Well they were great took care of everything . Cleaned up the area like you never knew they were there. Thanks for all you do. .
Everyone was friendly and professional. I’ve been three times now and always came away feeling listened to. The cleaning was gentle and thorough. My filling was done well, with care for how my bite was afterwards.
This dental appointment went very well. No waiting past my appointment time. Morgan and Dr. Williams were polite, informative and both had great patient / doctor interaction!
My 3 year old had her first visit for a cleaning and the staff was very friendly! They did a great job keeping my daughter happy throughout the whole visit. The atmosphere of the office looked great with child friendly decor. An all around great first experience!
My visit at Healthy Smiles Dentistry was a rewarding experience. I was immediately placed at eased by the serene pictures and tranquil music on the monitor in the examining room. It provided a very calming atmosphere. Dr. Bennett and her staff were extremely friendly and caring.
7 years later: Still the best. 'Nuff said.Best dentist on the coast and she works very long hours. Every heard of a dental appointment for the next day near or after 5 pm? My appointment was for 4:30. I thought that was crazy since I was having a root canal. She works 'till 6:30. Amazing, gentlle, thorough, sweet lady. Cowboy quickdraw with the novocaine. Even the one she said would be a bit tough was painless. If you hate dentists you will love her. Nice staff too. I'm glad the guy below found a cheaper dentist but I don't think her prices are out of line at all. She bonded a chipped front tooth that another dentist had done initially. His lasted a few months, her work has lasted 6 years so far. 'Nuff said.
My experience with Dr. Candy and the staff has been exceptional. I am a repeat client from years ago when I trained for a marathon. Most recently, I came in for some low back pain and through consistent care, I have been back to my old self within weeks of being treated. I highly recommend the care of Back in Motion!
I started there with severe pain in my shoulder and arm. After a few visits the pain was VERY diminished and other discomforts related to my neck and back were also relieved. Dr. Shuttleworth is concerned about his patients, knowledgeable, and very good with treatment.
Excellent knowledge of chiropractic practice, keeps pace with new options and follow-up exercises. Personalizes treatment for specific problem. Pain free for months since treatment.
This was our 1st visit and everything went great. Upon arrival we noticed the cleanliness of waiting area. With in a few minutes a tech brought to an exam room. It was very clean as well. Dr. King listened to our concerns and explained in detail what her recommendations are. After running some tests she returned and explained the findings. Dr. King and her tech were very professional and extremely considerate with our pet. We will make this vet office our main stop for all our pets needs. Great place to go.
We visited with our 18 year old cat, Peach last week and she was declining fast. They were very kind and thorough and assisted us with letting her go. We are very thankful for your kindness to us with the loss of our beloved pet.
Chell Saunders DVM is by far the best vet I have ever used over the years. She cares for my dogs which are really family members, as well as their owners. She cares greatly and is very professional. She is gentle with my huge German Shepherds, which are both spoiled babies to us even if not to all. I highly recommend her especially if your dogs are not good with traveling to the vets, she can come to you and that has been a Godsend.
A vet who listens and gets to know the pet AND it's family. Nikki is this type of vet. She determines the problem and gives you options and sound advice. Readily answers your questions and is NOT pushy in any way. The ONLY vet that I trust with my fur-babies.
My 15wk old pup had somehow injured himself and was not looking good. They were able to get us in right away. Dr Gaddy was able to pinpoint the source almost immediately and got him xrayed and fixed up with a laser treatment for instant relief. By the time we got home, he was already moving and acting like himself again. She and her staff are just lovely folks and I am glad to have chosen them for my new baby.
I love Dr. Spears’s office. And the girls in the office are so friendly and they tell you what you need to do! One cat is 19, I have one that is two years old, and I have one that is three months old. My 18-year-old female cat died.So if you’re looking for a good vet take your pets to Dr. Lee Spears on Pass Road.Thank everyone at the office and Dr. Spears for being so kind. Jan Murphy
Dr Broome is an amazing vet who cares deeply about the humans and furry critters who come to her. She is one of the best of the best in my book. One of the hardest things I have ever had to do was make a decision about whether to amputate my beloved Xander's leg which probably would have been fruitless and his bone cancer was very likely to come back even if his leg was amputated. May no one ever have to make that decision again :( but if I do, I hope that Dr. Broome is there to help me make it.
Professional cuts, in and out within 2-3 hours, nails always trimmed and ears checked and cleaned. And a walk-in nail-trim only service. Just consistently good cuts and service. Oh - and the dogs hang out in an open area inside; not stuffed in cages.

Qua'Shellea is amazing - a very accepting, calming presence! She listened to my concerns, focused on my problem areas, and I left feeling sooo much better.
The knowledge and diversity of Coastsl TM is just what I needed. The attention to detail and ease in communication made this a very pleasant experience. I had a massage from Tiffany a loong time ago before Hurricane Katrina. I lost touch after the storm and thought Id never find her again. By a Godwink, a friend recommended Coastal when I was in town and I was shocked that a sereredipidous set of event had our paths cross again. I will never lose touch with one of the best Massage therapists Ive ever had. She treats you like family. I am so grateful for whatever winds blew me back in her direction.
