I am so happy to find this salon! Michele cuts your hair by ensuring it follows the shape of your head allowing hair to fall in a more natural manner. He is a master! The rest of staff are excellent also. Have used Cole for waxing and highlights. She is dynamite!

"Pricey" for hair dye and haircut. To me. It was over $100.00. Otherwise happy with cut and dye

Let me preface this by saying that I do not leave reviews on businesses. I went to ciao Bella salon as a new client and wanted to do something different and was not disappointed. Hailey was fantastic she was excited when I wanted to change up my color slightly and went at it with full enthusiasm. Never in my life have I had so many people say to me the next day wow your hair looks fantastic. I will definitely return and encourage all of my friends to make the hour long drive to Gainesville to visit the salon

Had intents of scheduling my wife's hair appointment for a cut and full color, until they told me that it is standard practice with all salons that a deposit of at least half the estimated cost is required. First of all I have never heard of that practice, second of all it is a lie, not ALL salons require it, and last but not least I felt the explanation of the young lady as insulting. I have no plans of ever doing business with this salon. I found one that was very accommodating and DOES NOT require any kind of deposit.

Positive: Cleanliness, Professionalism, Quality, Value I've gone to a lot of hair salons and honestly this is the best one I've come across. Hayley is always AMAZING! I plan on coming here many many times in the future.

Everyone here was so kind and made me feel very comfortable. It was my first salon visit in a decade and I was SO nervous. Hayley was really sweet and knowledgable and I left with exactly what I wanted: a my-hair-but-better look. I'm so relieved and feel like I have a safe place I can return to in the future!

Michele is very good. I am meticulous when it comes to my hair and he always gets it right. He'll tell you what's best for your hair (even if that means just a haircut and color is not yet recommended). He's not just after sales. Oh! And don't be late for an appointment because they are usually packed! :) The salon is very clean, classy and relaxing. And not too crowded. :)

This was one of my best hair experiences. I was scheduled with Sophia Le. I'm always apprehensive when I go to someone new. I have very thick, curly, and long hair, half way down my back. From the very beginning of the appointment Sophia was wonderful! We discussed exactly what I wanted and she made my hair look great! She made sure before I got out of the chair that I was completely satisfied with my look.

She also recommended some frizz control hair products that she used in my hair today. Someone even tried to pick me up on the way back to my car! I will definitely be back for my next hair cut and style! Thanks Sophia for helping me look sexy!

Convenient location in Downtown. I got my haircut from Sophie who cut my hair dry which I was nervous about but worked out fine. She discouraged me from going shorter than I wanted to, which in the end worked out great and I'm so glad she advised that. Honestly I didn't feel the lob was anyway different from any other lob I have gotten, but multiple people noticed the haircut and complimented it so it must have been good? They have the option of skipping the hair wash and blowdry which helped bring the cost down.
