Nikkole Michaels' Salon & Spa in Spring Hill, FL

Went to Nikkole Michael's for the first time. I've been searching for a salon since I've moved to Spring Hill that rivals what I had back north. I think I found it! Jessica listened to my wishes and did a beautiful cut and style for me as I try to grow out my hair.

***Update*** I decided to try a different stylist this time and I have to say that he was amazing. He really did a great job on my perm and listened to me. He made sure that I was comfortable with what he was doing and he really understood my requests and even asked to see my inspiration picture several times to make sure he was on the right track. My hair has great volume and shape now! If you need a perm or a really great cut I highly recommend going to see Joseph. He is the only person I will be entrusting my hair to. He made me feel comfortable and heard. I wish he would've been who I saw from the beginning. It was such a different experience and I am really happy that I asked to see someone who specializes in perms and gave him a chance. The front desk lady who recommended him did a great job listening to me and helping me find the right person for the job. The reason for 4 stars is because I still cannot excuse the way the other stylist acted, and no one ever reached out to me to discuss what happened. ************************ I've been trying to decide for a while if I should leave a review or not. I decided that I would but I'm not going to name the stylist. I went to this salon 4 times over the course of a year. My first appointment went okay, I was pretty conservative and was content when I left. My second appointment the stylist canceled last minute. I get it life happens, so I chose to use a different stylist there who had an opening at the same time. She did a decent job, but I wasn't exactly thrilled and chopped it up to inexperience on her end. 3rd time I went in for a perm and no cut and the perm came out nicely, though she did get the perm chemicals in my eyes. It burned quite badly and she apologized and tried to help me wash my eyes out and stop the burning. Here's where it gets bad. 4th trip, I was feeling comfortable and some what confident in my stylist since it was my 3rd trip to see her. She brings me to her chair and I show her some inspiration pictures and she barely glances at them. She introduced me to the girl she was training. She starts my touch up perm and is making jokes about how much she sucks at perms and how much better her trainee was than her. I wasn't too concerned, though she did seem kind of "off" from what I was used to. The trainee did one side while she did the other. They finished the perm process. It comes time for the cut and I asked her if she wanted to see the inspiration pics again. She says no she's got this. I told her again that I'd been growing my hair out for at least 6 months and reminded her of how slowly my hair grows. She still didn't "need" to see the pictures. I should've just told her to stop and not cut my hair. She cut off, literally ALL of the hair she just permed and shaved everything down to the scalp. I ended up with a man's bowl cut, and it wasn't even a good one at that. To make matters worse as she is cutting my hair, she is laughing and making comments like, "wow this is not my best hair cut", "man you came in on a bad day, my first appointment of the morning canceled and I've just been playing all morning, sorry I wasn't warmed up for you", "you need color, I'm your girl but I don't do good perms", "oh man I f$&@ed up". She was laughing as she made these comments. She knew she was messing up and instead of stopping she just kept cutting and shaving. Another customer was looking at her like she was insane and looking at me like what the heck is she doing to your hair?!?!? Then she had the nerve to charge me full price, still laughing as I was trying not to cry walking out the door. I'm not a confrontational person and at the point I just wanted to get out of there. I'm not sure if she was on something or just truly thought it was funny to mess up that bad. She cut off at least 6 months worth of growth and gave me the worst haircut I've ever had in my life, and she knew it. She still laughed as she said sorry, took my money and joked about how she just wasn't good at "that" and that if I ever needed color she was my girl. When my husband saw my hair he said, "Oh no what happened?" I was mortified and spent weeks trying to figure out how to style my hair to lessen the sharpness of the bad haircut. In the end I just did my best and have been letting it grow out. It's been several months and a lot of work but I'm almost back to where I started. Deleted due to space constraints.

From the moment you walk in the door you are greeted with friendly, professional staff, a beautiful, modern decor, and a fun environment. Every stylist I e worked with there has been top grade and I look forward to every appointment to see them use their creative abilities.

I know I'm a pain in the ass. So after 2 months of reading salon reviews from St Pete to Spring Hill.. The previous reviews don't lie! I'm super happy with my choice of Nikkole Michael's salon. As is my daughter. I waited a few days to review- as I wanted to make sure I truly loved how my hair turned out! And YES, YES i do! I will be back and Marleigh is awesome. She took her time & gave amazing highlights, color & cut.

Jen Malkiewicz is the BEST hairdresser/color artist in Spring Hill. She listens to your needs and is so creative w her talent. I lost my long hair to covid pneumonia and she was right there to hold my hand and tell me everything will be okay. Here's my color treatment and short bob style. Highly recommended, she's the BEST!
