Carletta bell My son has curly hair and hates to get it cut! This was his first hair cut in over a year and she definitely knocked it out of the park. She talk to him the whole time let him know what she was going to do. She was super sweet and heard everything we said. Definitely our new salon.

Laurie Gorton Im a snowbird. Im always nervous about going to a different hairdresser, but Alex made me very comfortable. We talked about what I wanted, and showed some pictures. She really listened and cut a little at a time so not to cut too much. Would highly recommend.

T Sutton David has been coloring & styling my hair for quite a while. There’s no one else I trust. He now does all three of my daughters’ hair. He’s very good at what he does. He listens & offers guidance when needed because he knows how important your hair is. I highly recommend David & Backstreet Hair Designers. Everyone there is always so nice.

Nancy Cooke David at BACKSTREET has been doing my hair since 1985. WONDERFUL!!! I have sent all my friends there and everyone loves their haircut. He listens and does exactly what you want. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

virginia davenport David is the best! Everyone is so nice at Backstreet! I finally found someone who can do my bob perfectly!

Barbara Young Love this place... All so courteous and professional. Becky is wonderful... Always knows what I need in a haircut. . Ron is so friendly at the front desk. Recommend it highly

Maria Smith I had tried a number of hairstylists when I first moved to the area and finally selected Creative Images Hair Studio as my preferred salon after it was recommended by someone in my neighborhood. Heather does a great job cutting my hair. She took the time to find out exactly what I wanted, and consistently does it time and again. Her services are very reasonably priced. I highly recommend her!

Amy Richardson Ive been going to Heather at Creative Images Hair Studio for 6 years. She gives great haircuts! She listens to her customer, offers good suggestions for styling and maintenance in between haircuts, and is very professional. I strongly recommend Heather and Creative Images - give them a try!

Ilene Macdonald Heather Clark is an outstanding hair stylist, using the latest techniques and products. She listens to her clients and does her best to create the look they desire. When I leave the salon, I feel beautiful and ready to take on the world. Heather has been my stylist for 9 years. I have actually been stopped by strangers, complimenting me on my hair color. Prices are reasonable and the salon is welcoming. Great location, too!

Alicia Peterson Heather, the owner of Creative Images Hair Studio, is my girl when I go there. I have short hair and she is amazing. She colors my hair, frosts the ends and cuts it beautifully, better than anyone in my past. She really styles short hair beautifully. I can always depend on it!! Thank you Heather!!

Nina Gheewala I used to live near Ted. I recently suffered an injury, and needed my hair shampooed and styled. He fit me in on short notice, and did a wonderful job.

Jen Bowman Sonia has skills and knows how to cut and style my fine straight hair so that it has some life. She also does great with my friends thick and curly hair. I highly recommend her.

Deirdre Callan Ted has been doing my hair for 30 years. He is extremely competent and talented. He is very intuitive, and listens to your wants and opinions. If you know what you want, that’s what you will get. If you don’t, he will assist you in finding the right cut, color, or highlights to suit you. I won’t go anywhere else!!

Lucy Kisela Ted, Donna and Melia are awesome! So glad my sister-in-law recommended this jewel of a salon.

Gina Gier Best salon around everyone is so nice. Ted and his wife are super. My hairdresser Cori Howell my hair savior. Clean and in a nice quite area.

Sarah Ann Jessica did the makeup for my wedding this past weekend and she exceeded my expectations. None of us had ever worked with her before but she knew how to match everyone’s makeup perfectly and was so sweet and personable. She arrived on time and did 6 peoples makeup in a timely manner and everyone was so pleased. Can’t recommend her enough!!

Lindsey Lindgren Highly responsive, kind, and achieves your hair goal dream (weve worked with every color under the rainbow). Jessica is extremely compassionate. She’s been my hairdresser for over ten years and a friend beyond that.

Diana Greggs Jessica is the BEST - Im a regular for life!! She offers great services at a exceptional prices - especially considering the area (SRQ/Bradenton) - unlike many other salons Ive tried before who basically price gouge because they know many clients living here have $$$. Shes honest & considerate of each individual clients hair type and will explain what is or is NOT doable - this is so, SOOO important - too many stylists just say yes to whatever, only to have a client leave in tears bc it doesnt look like the picture. Now theyve got damaged, over•processed hair that they spent a ridiculous amount of $$ on - this is NOT the case with Jessica - she genuinely cares about making her clients happy & feel good about their hair, all while preserving or trying to get a healthy head of hair AND scalp. If youre wanting a stylist whos got high-level skills or a salon that offers reasonable pricing, then you need to book an appointment at THIS SALON, ASAP!!! P.S.)) Her extension game is the best Ive ever seen - seriously, I have extensions & they look better than any famous celebritys do - shes IBE certified & uses only the best hair wefts & techniques!! Shes also a master at wedding up•dos & gets booked to do full bridal parties, all season long!!

Casey Twitmyer I switched from a different salon to Jessica, because the prices I was paying were no longer affordable and the stylist felt impersonal. Jessica is the best and complete opposite of my previous experiences other places! My hair has honestly never looked so good, I’m so happy with it. She matched my hair color perfectly to hide my grays and she charges fair, affordable prices. Can’t recommend her enough. Also her salon is the cutest. 10/10 Recommend.

Laura Brandt Jessica is AMAZING in every way possible! I have had my hair done by quite a few salons and she is now my forever place to get my hair done at! She achieved my bright blonde color and I no longer have yellow! YAY! She is super sweet, funny and so knowledgeable! You need look no further for your forever salon!

Gale Baker Nancy is the best hair stylist. My hair always looks great. We have good conversations. Everyone is friendly & the place is spotless. I always enjoying going there for a great cut & style.

Andrew Smith Great price, knew what I wanted. Highly recommend.

Judy Rogers This is also a womans salon. Ive been going to Nancy for about four years. She is a fantastic stylist. The salon is comfortable and clean.

Radeen Cochran Mere Image is a terrific Womens and Mens Hair Salon in Bradenton. I have been there twice and have been delighted with the excellent service as well as the style and color of my hair. The salon is spotless and spacious, the atmosphere is calm & pleasant and the staff members are welcoming & friendly. Whenever I am on the West Coast of FL, I will only make my salon appointments at Mere Image!

Sarah Perry I have been going here for over 6 years and I have never been disappointed. Amy is Amazing!! Her colors and styles are fresh and prices are very reasonable!! I honestly recommend every person here when they speak about their hair.

Sarah Perry Best hair salon in Bradenton!! Amy is beyond amazing. You can describe a color for your hair and she matches your thoughts. I have never left here disappointed. Great prices and availability.

Brittany Gerren The absolute best salon in town. Amy is a master. Always does an amazing job on my hair (cut & fun colors) as well as my boys. She can do whatever they think up & they love coming to see her.

Robin Lavender New to the area, was able to get an appointment in a short time with Michelle, who was very kind and truly listened to what I was hoping for in a cut. She met my expectations and then some!!! The salon is clean, and a pleasant place. Nicely greeted when I entered and departed. Highly recommend!!

penni schuch I have looked and looked trying to find someone who can cut my hair correctly and Debi was fantastic. Wonderful personality and great place!!!

Courtney Stryker From the moment I called to schedule an appointment (with Michelle), I was impressed with the professionalism and friendliness of the staff here. The receptionist was attentive and got me a coffee before anything else. Michelle really listened to what I wanted before washing my hair, and my haircut was terrific. Thanks for such a positive experience.

Amy McAnally Love Francine! She was very knowledgeable and did a fantastic job! I had searched for years for a great hairstylist and I finally found her! Thank you!

Marissa Van Meter This was my first experience at the salon, and Vero nailed it! I have a very difficult haircut, super straight and blunt, and she understood exactly what I wanted and gave me the perfect modern cut. Very friendly as well! My hair feels amazing!

Chelsea Bartlett I loved my stylist she was amazing, and she’s the reason I’m giving the 3 stars. In March 2024 I called this salon, and told them what I needed done to my hair, which was my hair was orange from me dying it about a year previous, i didn’t want it cut or anything (she did not cut) I just wanted my blonde restored, and color correction. They gave me a price of $200. I was okay with that, so with a $60 tip, I would be leaving spending $260, which $300 was my budget(with the tip)Which I think is reasonable for getting your hair done. I walked into the shop, for my appointment …. they looked at my hair and said okay go have a seat! We get all done with my hair , and it was such a great experience with my stylist. She did so amazing , I loved my hair and the bond we created in the process. I was excited to leave her a pretty hefty tip, as she did a splendid job and exactly what I wanted! I go to checkout and pay, and now they are telling me $267!!!!! Without tip!! So I’m stuck in a dilemma because $300 was my budget, and now I have to leave this lady only $33 tip. I had no extra money to put into this. I just think they should give you the set price like they did with me and it should stick?? The guy told me the reason was because of the color correction, but they already knew this when I discussed what I needed done, they looked at my hair and everything and didn’t say any changes. Had I known that, I would have got up more money to leave a better tip. I will not go back because I don’t want to expect to pay one thing, and it be a lot more then what I expected. If they would have just told me the actual price from the get go I would have figured it out , and not put on the spot like that. I love the stylist, and I feel bad for her because they are making her lose clients and tips (im sure) because of the same exact thing that’s happened to me.

Lorretta Bebermeyer Karen has done a great job on my hair!! She fixed my haircut after a terrible haircut from another salon. She put partial highlights in my hair and is now doing my root touch ups every month. My hair is healthier now than it has been in a long time. I would highly recommend Karen!

Giuliana Vann We love coming here. I get my hair done here and also my kids. The owners Jeremy and Katie are so friendly and nice. Great service. My hair stylist always listens closely to how I want my hair done. Highly recommend N2U salon for all your hair needs.

Kelly Essig What a hidden gem! Im so glad I saw all the good reviews on Facebook and booked an appointment with Beth. I was struggling to find someone who had a lot of experience with color. She fixed a big mess and has kept my blonde hair looking fantastic ever since. The entire staff is so friendly I really enjoy being there! What a positive place and experience!

colette oreilly Brandi is a great stylist who always does an exception job on my hard to manage hair. She has done my daughters hair before prom and other special occasions and we are always more than pleased with everything she does from cuts to colors and styling.

Brenda Guzman I started coming here when I moved and the prices were awesome! I stuck with one hair stylist and she was great one day I asked to do my eyebrows and she completely messed them up . I wasn’t rude I was still willing to pay for them but I just told her I didn’t like them and it’s fine she caught a whole attitude snatching my card and every time I walk in she ask one of the other girls to take care of me . She was a great hair stylist I just didn’t want her to do my eyebrows and I didn’t appreciate her attitude at all . Just wish she was more nice . Thank you!

Robert Buechner Amazing business. They treat every client like theyre family. Excellent job on cutting my hair, and would recommend this to everyone. The owner Danielle is awesome, if you want a great haircut at a freaking amazingly low price please ask for her. She specializes in all types of services. She is absolutely the best.

Ashley Foote This place was such a surprise! Danielle did an amazing job on my hair exactly what I wanted & the price was right! Also the other girls were all so nice & friendly it made for great, quick, experience. I will recommend any one who asks to go get their hair done here!

Linda Klemm Danielle always does a super job..very professional and courteous..She always ask what I want done and offers great suggestions if I am not sure.. I have gone to Super Styles for six years and would not go anywhere else. Brandy and Lori also do a great job too at Super Styles. The facility is very clean and atmosphere very friendly. One cannot beat their prices or their quality of work...five was the highest rating available..

Vera Custom Woodworking, Inc. Evelyn did an awesome job on my daughters updo for homecoming!

Krunal Jayswal Great place for haircuts

Carie Cabrera They do really good with all types of hair!!

Lacey Wojahn Pam was amazing!!!!! Had a vision of what I wanted and she made it happen. She was fast and great! My hair was extremely damaged and she revived my color and gave am a great cut in about an hour. I definitely found my new salon! Thank you so much Pam!!!! 10 out of 10 recommend!

Karen Schaidle Pam is a miracle worker! She did a wonderful job on recovering a botched coloring job and brought back a smile to my face! Thank you very much!

Lisa I took a longshot and texted the salons owner to see if she had any time in the next day or two to correct my color that I had done at another salon last week. Pam was able to get me in the same day (cancelation) and not only did she fix the color, but she did it quickly and PERFECTLY! I am so impressed by her and her ability to correct my awful orange/brassy hair in such a short time. Ive read that some places charge upwards of $200, but Pam was extremely reasonable. I am so impressed that I have already booked a root lift for 6 weeks out! Thank you, Pam! Youre my miracle worker and my favorite new person!! See the before picture - I had to keep it up in a ponytail after spending 6.5 hours total in the OTHER salon to get it right! My after picture reflects just how happy I am with the new color. Amazing!!!

Racha nee This place is super friendly and I was a last minute call in appointment. Pam was super friendly and professional as well as the rest of the staff there. She did nice job cutting my hair and made sure it was to my liking. The price was very reasonable too. The other lady who works with her there made sure I got to my car safely since it was later in the day. I thought that was very nice and excellent personal service. Above and beyond what is expected for a hair salon. Ill be going back again.

Robin Enjoyed my time of being pampered and getting a new cut and color by Pam. She did an awesome job, answered all my questions and showed me what works best for styling my hair!!

Layah Yasharahla My first time visiting the salon some years ago , I had a very pleasant experience . The person who did my hair (Loretta) was very professional , the place was clean and the few stylist I met , were very nice . However , this time around , was the complete opposite . The same young lady who did my hair the first time , had been advertising that she sold hair bundles , after seeing a picture of a custom colored sew in she did , I booked an appointment . I then texted her and asked if she had saw that I even scheduled an appointment (as two whole days went by without a confirmation ). She finally told me that I needed to leave a deposit first . She did not tell me how, after a few messages and a day later , she told me cash or PayPal . I sent her my email to invoice me , since she did even send me her email so I could pay . Later, I told her I would be getting the bundles from her and sent a few messages on what style I was thinking of getting (since she never even asked ), she then told me two days wasn’t enough time for her to color the bundles . Because of that , I had to scramble to find a new style and hair , I then had to ask her what type of hair could she or did she like to work with , she told me . Long story short , instead of the stylist who is the professional , inquiring about what style I was getting and telling me what hair and how much to bring , It took a week if back and forth and me always having to message first , to figure out what I needed to bring . It all ended when we then had a misunderstanding over hair washing , I’m accustomed to a salon washing every customers hair before servicing it . She said they did not and I was fine with that , one message led to another and we decided it would be best if we didn’t go ahead with the appt . That was unfortunate . What’s even worse is that talking to “Dee” about doing my child’s hair , she completely ignored my message asking for her styleseat information so I could book an appointment , and when I followed up some hours later - politely telling her that if she couldn’t do my daughters hair just let me know - she replied “ok”. This is well before anything happened with the other stylist and I . Bottom line is , the place is nice , unfortunately - their so used to their normal clients , that new clients such as I , are treated indifferently .

Onemike29 Ive been coming here for a little while now and my barber Nate always does an amazing job! The people there are always nice and have good conversation. If youre looking for a good haircut or for the ladies if your looking to get a new hairstyle stop in and check them out!

Miriam Foster Great place! Love the vibe you get as soon as you walk in. Great place to get your hair done at. Im natural and I love the work.

DARK ONE This place is wonderful, an extremely clean salon and very professional. They do it all no matter what type of hair you have, theres a stylist that can do it. My stylist Loretta is fantastic and trendy always up on the newest stuff. Theres also a barber in named Nate he cuts my sons hair very well. Im always pleased and impressed when I leave KDS.

Jacklyn Araque I enjoy the shop. I always have Loretta as my hair stylist and she always does an amazing job. The ladies are funny and amazing and I drive an hour just to get my hair done in their building.

Helenas Nail Confessions Michelle did an excellent job on my color and cut. Exactly what I wanted. Knowledgeable and personable. Highly recommend.

Heather Michelle did an amazing job cutting and styling my hair. I felt like a whole new person since I haven’t had my hair done in a long time. I will definitely be a repeat customer.

Heather Dickert I just moved to the area a month ago and was desperate to find someone who specializes in blonde hair. I went to Michelle and could not be happier! Not only was the salon staff friendly and the salon clean, my hair has never looked better. Michelle is full of knowledge and knows just what to do! I highly recommend going!!!

R Kline The absolute best stylist ever. I was in from Illinois for 6 weeks and desperate to have my hair cut and colored. I found Michelle by accident and what a treasure! She was nice, on-time, and gave me a fantastic hair style. The color was spot on, too.

Gina Bruttell I was a walk in and needed a trim. Very nice and welcoming salon. Iris was fantastic! Great cute trim and blow dry with reasonable price. I will definitely be back.

Marlene Ashbaugh Short Iris did a great job listening to what I wanted and created a fantastic new look for me. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with my hair and described that I wanted it shorter and easy to care for. She gave me a great tip for using mouse and combing sections like curls to creat this sassy look! Thanks so much Iris. I’ll see you again!

Jackie Scott It seemed to be a very clean place. The conversation was not bad, When I left my hair cut didn’t look bad, cause I chalked it up to it being styled different than I would do. But this morning when I got up and washed my hair to fix it for the day, it was very choppy, the layers were cut horribly. This is one of the worse hair cuts I have ever received. I will not be going back there and now I have to have it cut much shorter just to fix what has been done to my hair.

Connie Troy Old, tired hair stylists work at this salon. No one ever greets you when you walk in. I went to Wendy for awhile. She could never get it right what I wanted done. She never wrote my formula down. After the hurricane t for my appointment and it was closed. She never texted me. Said she didn’t have my info. Duh?!?

Samantha Wycoff Teddis is the place to go for all your hair needs. Beautiful color and cut. My new usual spot to get my hair done.

nicolex82 Kelly is amazing! Only go to her for my keratin treatments.

Christy Gonzalez Owner run and operated. Cindy has been in business for many years and continues to offer the best service around! Very friendly staff and a very cute salon too!

karly carlson I just had a great appointment with Shannon. She did fairy strands for me in my white hair. It is stunning. Shannon is so fun and really knows what she is doing. My first fairy strands. I will do them forever.

Melissa Sims Hamilton Love the Ladies at Patricks! Fairy hair is beautiful and lasts so long and Cindy is Awesome, she cut my hair exactly how I wanted it!

Kathleen R. Boniello Wonderful experience with Jane the owner. I’m from out of town and had no stylist to work with, until now. Love what she did, she understood exactly how I wanted my hair from the color to the length to the style. I’ll definitely be back. Not to mention the fact that it was a very pleasant place to spend a couple of hours, and both women, very friendly. Tried to make you feel comfortable right from the start. Thank you Jane!!

Mary Lyczynski Just relocated here and found Scissors through google search. Jane is a wonderful stylist and extremely personable! I highly recommend her business. I had a full foil highlight and haircut. My hair turned out just like the picture I showed Jane.

LYNN GIBSON My experience with my stylist Theresa was fantastic. She did my hair wonderfully. Everyone has complemented me on how great it looks. The safety protocols were followed to a tee and I felt safe and comfortable. Will definitely go back and will recommend them with no hesitation.

June Allen I love this place! Like a “hidden gem” in the BACK of the building. Not to be confused with the other salon out front. Theresa gives amazing haircuts and styling. I am always getting stopped by people and asked where I get my hair cut! She is the best!

karen sterling Theresa at Scissors did an amazing job on my cut and perfected my color!! She also did my mother in laws.. that can never be pleased. She too was over the top happy with her cut and color as well. We will be back!!
