Deborah is the best! She fixed a really bad haircut for me. The staff is very friendly and professional. I highly recommend Charisma!

I've been going to this place for about 2 years, and I've never had a problem with it until recently. I've always been satisfied with the way my hair turned out afterwards regarding the cut/color, but the last time I was there I left unsatisfied. I usually have Heather or Kristine doing my hair(and I've always liked their work), but neither was available for my last appointment 2 weeks ago. Therefore, I had Ariel doing my hair.

I came in with my hair balayaged or an ombre and I loved the way it looked. So I told her all I wanted was a refresh on the ends and the front pieces. I also told her to not dye my roots, so as it grows out it would look natural and also be easier to manage (which is also what I had before). Anyways, she put color all on my roots-except the very top of them, which is not what I wanted her to do, and I even tried saying something when I noticed. It was not blended and looked stripey. I had no problem with the haircut though. (6/21)

I literally had orange hair from a previous salon, and Arielle took 4 hours to fix me, and did an AMAZING job! From the second i called, to the second i walked out the door, it felt like a business was actually thinking of my needs in the end. The salon is very clean and beautiful as well! 10/10 Service: Hair coloring

My mother is a very good client of charisma and I have been too but they change hands so quickly so when I finally find the exact right person for my hair well she's no longer there, happened to me three times. Done. Services: Hairstyling, Haircut, Hair coloring

The team was accommodating of a very last minute trim. Robin was funny and personable, and did a great job on my fiances hair. He got the job!

I've gone here a few times now and I love having my hair done by Kim! She always makes sure I'm happy with my hair and everyone that works there is super friendly. I definitely plan on going back as long as I'm in Gainesville

Deb managed to fit me in for a quick appointment between two of her other clients. It was my first time there and everyone was very friendly. Deb gave me a fantastic haircut very fast and was great to talk to! She asked all the right questions and said all the right things to make sure it turned out how I wanted it. I've never felt so cute and confident after a haircut, seriously! Definitely making this my Gainesville spot.

Went to this place because it had five starts. This was the absolute WORST haircut and color I have ever had in my life. My stylist was Nelle. The prices on their website are misleading and I was charged $200 for "balayage" (if you can even classify it as that- look at the horrible pictures) and a god-awful haircut. It was a waste of almost 4 hours of my time and I cried all the way home once I looked in my mirror.

Just Awful. For reference, when I walked into Charisma for Hair, my hair length was all the way down my back and it was all a light brown color. I asked for 6 inches off, and long layers. I also asked for balayage highlights. There are patches and spots of blonde randomly thrown on my head. It's a sloppy mess and she obviously had no clue what she was doing.

I had made an appointment and I was very excited to get my hair done- SO wish I had gone to a different place! I've had a hat on for two days while I wait because I'm getting ANOTHER hair cut and color at a different salon to fix this embarrassing mess. It looks like a 4 year old cut my hair with a chain saw. STAY AWAY!
