I honestly have NEVER been happier with my har color!!! Kevin is Genius at color and style. Not only does he do a terrific job …. he absolutely listens to want you want. Ironically, that is something you just don’t find often enough. I’ve gotten more compliments on my hair color after my 1st visit with Kevin, than I ever have in my life.

I honestly have NEVER been happier with my har color!!! Kevin is Genius at color and style. Not only does he do a terrific job …. he absolutely listens to want you want. Ironically, that is something you just don’t find often enough. I’ve gotten more compliments on my hair color after my 1st visit with Kevin, than I ever have in my life. Considering I’ve been changing my hair color with different stylist for over 30 years, that’s saying something. I also find Kevin to be in tune with the situation. For example, we have great conversations but if I’m on my phone or being quiet, relaxing….or whatever he “reads the room” now that —is the icing on the cake amazing. I 100% recommend Kevin, for so many reasons. Less
I booked online. Showed up 30 minutes early. No one as much as looked up, but 3 technicians were all working. At my appointment time, one had put a client under the dryer and was doing her own hair, one was in back doing nails. The 3rd was cleaning up after the previous client. 15 minutes later, she picked up her bag and told her co-workers goodbye and left the salon. Not once did anyone even ac... More

Terrible salon and quoted me an outrageous price for my hair. I’ve never gotten up and left a Salon. This was the first Salon I ever walked out of in the 40 years. I’ve been getting my hair done.. the salon was very dirty, and the people were not pleasant or educated on hair!!... More

Emily is the absolute queen of hairstyling! I walked in with a picture of a 70s style Farrah Fawcett butterfly cut, and she nailed it to a tee.

Affordable and the hairdresser was really kind! My mom and I went to this salon and our haircuts came out amazing.
I had services provided by Emily who did a great job. She was friendly, conscientious, and her prices were fair.
Emily did a great job giving me a "style" again!!
Thank you Emily for the great experience! I love my hair so much and am so glad you were able to execute what I was looking for so perfectly.
My family moved to Florida two years ago. When we first came, because of the weather and we being super busy with moving stuff, our hair became an awful mess, especially me and my daughter.

My family moved to Florida two years ago. When we first came, because of the weather and we being super busy with moving stuff, our hair became an awful mess, especially me and my daughter. So, I searched for an Asian hair salon and we found Viva and Emily. My daughter was given a highlighted hair and she was super happy and I dyed my hair dark red and I was so surprised that she did it so great. I never had that kind of experience before. Now, all of my family including my husband and my son went to her salon to get a haircut. I even introduced some of my coworker and my relatives when they come to visit us to go to her hair salon!! Emily is very kind and helpful when we come. Thank you very much, Emily!! Less

I went to get my hair layered and Emily did a wonderful job! I really love how it turned out :) would definitely recommend!
It was a pleasure to have my hair cut there, by Emily. The result was a little shorter than I thought I wanted, but she did very well with what I think of as texturizing so that my hair is easy to style and my hair looks nice and full, a good thickness. Thank you Emily! I also wanted to get my eyebrows shaped up, but was notified of some kind of a challenge with the machine.... More

THEY ARE HAIR ARTISTS AND UNDERSTAND COLOR I live in Arlington Park and was happy they opened a shop like this on Beneva and Webber in Sarasota! I have been there three times and I now rely on Emily as my “Fashionista.” At this stage of the game my hair needs major restoration. I explained what looks good to me and she provided some awesome feedback and ideas. Her and her colleagues sampled my pigment color and did the jazz on my hair. Photo attached. Happy! She is a “Tonsorial Artist.” Offers a traditional hair cutting experience. They are frugal and provided me with salon sensibilities and quality. Having just learned that her son is starting at Sarasota Military Academy this year, which is from where I retired, she has my report, vote and patronage! Onwards! Go TeamEMILY!
