Eden Michele Salon in Gainesville, FL

I am sitting in the parking lot crying while I write this. I have brown curly hair and blond highlights. I came in for my appointment with Sharon and I asked for my whole head to be dyed cherry red. We had a consult prior to this and she agreed we can make that happen. 3hours in and I was on the verge of tears. My hair is not even close to red it's light brown with hints of copper. (Photos provided below). Keep in mind I have blond highlights in my hair- the highlights aren't even red? How can you mess up going from blond to red?! At $85 an hour, it was an absolute rip-off. I am completely disappointed and this is happening only 2 weeks away from my birthday, I am so embarrassed. I explained to her this color is nothing near what I asked for, she removed 1h from the charge because she knew she had messed up but that will not fix my hair. I had high hopes for this place. This was a waste of $170. 0/10 if I could give 0 stars I would. What even is the point of the consultation if you don't know your own limits? Unacceptable.

I am so glad I discovered this Gainesville gem -- only wish I had discovered it earlier! I wanted to get a new hairstyle and from a friend, they told me to visit Eden Michele Salon. I booked a consultation with Noah, and they were super sweet! We talked briefly about what I wanted for my hair, which included a slight trim and bangs! After booking an appointment a few days after, I arrived and got my hair done. I felt extremely comfortable in the environment, and I loved how roomy and clean the salon was. Noah made sure to check on me during the time to see if I was liking the progress. In the end, I loved the style that I received! It was perfect, and exactly what I had in mind. I will definitely be making a return here and I cannot recommend this place enough!

I waited 3 weeks to get an appointment because I heard such great things. They have a curly hair specialist. I was so excited as i have never been to one. My hair is a demi color and I told the stylist doing my color that I want a root touch up. While he is dying my roots, I tell him what I normally use. I then tell him about the ONLY bad color experience I have had. The guy was a new stylist and didn't know you can't put a permanent color over a demi. It turns this horrible color. Well, he jokes and says, "Well I hope not because that's what I'm doing". Immediately I get nervous but I decided to trust the professional knew what he was doing. He washed it. I saw my hair and there was a horrible red rust ring on my head. There was also grey STILL grey in some areas. There was so many grey spots all over my head.The gentleman blamed me. He said I should've communicated better. I thought a root touch up means a root touch up. You match the color. Never had any issues except the one other time somewhere else. I was told it was lack of communication and they had other clients. They gave a discount and let me go out the door in tears. I own a business and I have stayed late before to make sure someone was happy. Never have I been treated that way the way I was by Alf. The curly hair specialist was very sweet . I felt bad telling her not to style it because I'm just going to get it colored. So the whole point of going there (for the curl hair specialist) didn't even get to happen. I then went to 2 salons until I found someone to help. Both salons couldn't believe I had to pay for that. Both salons said you never put permanent over a demi. I have pictures if anyone wants to see. I found somewhere to try to fix it and they felt it looked so bad, they didn't even charge me. I am so disappointed.

First time coming her and really impressed. I got my hair cut by Bianca. Bianca will analyze your hair and provide input and tips. Very detail oriented and definitely making this my go to salon. Thank you for the haircut and making me feel beautiful again.

I had the best experience with Whitney at Eden Michele. She brought my blonde back to life after I let it grow out during the pandemic and gave me such a good haircut. Everyone was being very covid-safe with masks and temperature checks. I've already recommended Whitney to a friend!
