The Hair Ninja Salon in Bradenton, FL

Maria has been doing my hair for many years. Whatever style I want Maria brings it to life. She's very knowledgeable and always educates me so that my hair maintains the style and my hair is at its healthiest ever. She is a color Guru to say the least. 5 STAR STYLIST FOR SURE!!

I'm shocked at the reviews here given my experience. I hate to have to write something like this but hopefully this review makes you think twice and ultimately go elsewhere. Here is my experience: I made an appt for a root touch up and cut. I am mostly blonde and wanted to get rid of my dark root by a full highlight or an all over. She ended up doing a full foil. Well the photos ive posted will show you that didn't happen. Not even close. I asked her for a refund and she initially said she would refund me. Then, she changed her mind and said she wanted to fix it first and I said ok.. then she kept messaging me, after I sent pics of my hair stating a lot more than just a few foils needed to be done. After some unnecessary back and forth, things turned after she told me I would get leopard spots if she went to the root. Never in my life have I ever been told that by a professional stylist. Nor has it ever happened to me. After she told me that I no longer felt comfortable with her redoing my hair. So I cancelled and asked for a refund again. She became argumentative with me after her leopard comment which was extremely unprofessional. She then said she'd only do a partial refund. I said that wasn't fair and that I'd just go through my bank. Unfortunately it wasn't something my bank could handle and I let her know and she now won't return my texts or messages which is again unprofessional and shows complete lack of customer service. So $123 for NOT getting my roots touched up and had to spend another $120 to get my hair redone. Ladies don't waste your time or money here. There are better and more professional stylists out there.

Ok went there today around 1:30 to try to get a haircut and possibly some highlights but the doors were locked. Saw people inside but no answer?

Maria is the BEST! She always goes above and beyond what I want or expect. Her customer service is amazing. You are not just a number to her, she cares about what you want and makes you feel comfortable. She made me feel great again about my hair. My 13 year old son used to hate getting his hair cut but but now loves when he goes to see Maria, since he knows he will come out looking great.

Absolute top-notch service at this salon. The proprietor cares about what you want and goes to great lengths to make it happen. The care and concern for your hair happiness is truly shown by Maria. My color always comes out looking spectacular, thanks to her! Highly recommend that you book two weeks in advance, as she gets booked quickly. I won't go anywhere else. It was by chance that I met Maria and I'm glad I did and gave her an opportunity to do my hair. Five stars!!!
