Envy Salon & Boutique in Daniel Island, SC

Beautiful studio, with a very warm and welcoming staff. Paige did my haircut. She was easy to talk with and she knows her stuff. Great haircut. I'll be back.

Kendall (Phelps) Thomas gave me exactly the style I wanted with precision cut and gray blending for fine hair!! You guys rock!

Envy is easily the overall best hair salon in the Daniel island area! They have the friendliest and most talented owner and staff and the best quality for your money hair products and color! COVID safe too!

This is the best salon I have ever been too.  After visiting this week  with all the protocols in place to protect there clients from the virus I am even more convenience that I would drive from far away to come there if we ever move.  The whole staff is amazing and I have Dina as my stylist but would not hesitate to try any or there stylist as I have watched the job they do and it is first class.

It is a very inviting salon that is upscale but casual both.  You can tell everyone there cares and works together as a team.  You feel very comfortable and relaxed.

Usually when I walk out of a salon, I come home and fix my hair. When I walk out of Envy I love my hair and do not want to go to sleep in fear I might mess it up.  The extra point is that I fix it the next day and it is still beautiful.  To me it is always a perfect cut and color.  Since moving to Daniel Island 3 years ago on a recommendation of a friend I found Envy and I feel very blessed.

I truly hate writing this review.  It makes me sad, but feel I have no choice since I tried to talk to the stylist directly and she was rude and blocked me on FB - then my post was taken down when I posted on DI Moms.  

I went to Envy Salon and met with Mary Nelson.  I had called her about my hair telling her I had loved my previous Stylist who was great at cutting my hair but something had happened with the color and she turned my hair red - my hair is naturally blonde. So, I was afraid to go back due to my daughter's wedding coming up and I did not want anything to go wrong.  I went for a consultation so she could see my hair color and texture which is fine thin hair.  Mary assured me she could help me and was familiar with blonde hair.  I choose to go get a hair cut first to see how she would cut my hair and after I left, she had cut the left side of my hair longer than the right.  I immediately called her and asked could I come back for her to fix it and she seemed aggravated and said NO - she made me wait 2 days to get it fixed.  That was upsetting.  Then about 7 days before my daughter's wedding I went for a trim, partial highlight, gloss, shampoo and style.  Everything seemed fine - I liked the color and felt good when I left - except I was shocked at how expensive it was as it was well over $250.  I had not paid that much at any place I had ever been before in the Charleston area.  But I did not ask for a discount - nor would I - I paid and left.  It has been one week since my daughter's wedding making it a little over two weeks since my salon service. I noticed the highlights were fading fast and could see my roots.  It looked as though she did not go all the way to the root line or however far you are supposed to go with the highlights.  I had not noticed this before as I had other things on my mind with my daughter's wedding.  I took a couple of pictures and in-boxed Mary on FB to ask her what could have happened and to tell her the time length had been short since I got the highlights and they were quite expensive so I was curious as to why they did not last???  It took her two days to get back to me and when she did - she immediately blamed me by saying I must be using cheap shampoo and box hair dye because she would never do that.  I have never used either of those products before in my life - and if I had - I would have never went to see her and paid $250 for a salon service.  I was shocked at her response and then she told me she was not a good fit for me and I should find another stylist - then she blocked me from responding.  I was not planning to anyway as I clearly saw how rude she was by her remarks to me.  I was upset and decided to post on FB about how unprofessional she had treated me because I am a service provider too and know that good quality service goes a long way.  Even if you can not make it right - which I felt she could have - it is about being considerate and at least listening - not attacking your client.  She saw my post and typed this terrible lie about how I was hinting for a discount and how I trashed my last stylist on the internet, how I missed my first appointment - which was only because I was sick and it slipped up on me - which I greatly apologized to her and she accepted, how I expected a discount, etc.  I was so shocked at her behavior that I could not believe it.  I did have someone from Envy Salon reach out to me asking if they could make it right - I declined their offer.  I am by no means writing this review to hurt anyone's livelihood or anyone who works at Envy Salon.  I am only writing to share my experience with Mary Nelson.  I am shocked at how she can treat customers this way and then blame them for her bad service.  My experience with her was very disappointing.
