I hate giving bad reviews but I am completely heartbroken. I had engagement pictures scheduled in a month, a family cruise in two weeks and an important business trip in one. I ALWAYS get my hair colored slightly darker for winter, and I always get fringed bangs. I have recently moved and was tiered of making the trek to my normal salon so I decided to try Salon West after I saw a few good reviews and saw their pricey hair service list. Let me start from the beginning, this was the THIRD time I had gotten my hair done at Salon West by Cindy Clark. The first time I had full foils done on my very long hair. I stressed the importance of keeping my hair length the same so she merely trimmed the back. The highlights came out great. The second time I got a partial foil and asked for about an inch (one or two finger width lengths) taken off. I showed her where I wanted my hair to end up on my body. The foils were once again impeccable and my hair was about five to six inches shorter than when I walked in. I cried all day and was so sad every time I looked in the mirror. However, the haircut was fantastic. It grew out for five months without losing it's form. Had I stopped here, I would of given Cindy and this salon four stars. Every hairdresser gets scissor happy, right? But no, I couldn't just stop. About five months after my way too short haircut, I go in for my usual winter makeover. I bring the same pictures I always do of how I'd like my hair color to look and of how it looked last time I did it. This time I told her, I don't want it as auburn, can we do a light brown maybe with some red undertone. I also showed countless pictures of how I wanted my bangs and of how they have previously looked. There was one picture, one with bluntly cut bangs and I only showed that for color purposes. However, she seemed to only see the bangs. I wish I would of taken pictures of my hair when I walked out of that salon. It was the most unattractive shade of RED I have ever seen on my head.. or anyone else. She must of noticed because she said "there is definitely some red, but I don't think anyone would go as far as to call you a redhead. Don't worry we can brown it out." This was before it was dry and I had the chance to see the color. She then started to cut my bangs after simply trimming the back of my hair, she did not trim the front or anything else. Thankfully my mom was there or I would of ended up with half of my hair as bangs. Still she cut the bangs too thick and to wide and all the hair that frames my face is now cut too. The cut is identical to a the front of a mullet or bowl cut. I am usually confident enough to try and make any and every hairstyle work, as I like to change it up, but a BAD haircut can not be worn. I called in when I got home to say that I could not stand the color and was schedule for the next day. I came in with puffy eyes from crying after everyone who looked at me just had that sad look of pity in their eyes. I said, put a golden brown, or only brown in my hair so I can get rid of most of the red. I know that no matter what we do, the red will be there. My hair is now medium to dark brown, and I am talking "salon shades" and it only reflects the color RED. My bangs will be pinned back until they grow out enough to either get them done right or all the way. I have had to cancel my engagement photoshoot which I can not get my money back for and am now dreading our cruise as I will be stuck with a lion mane that is way too dark for my very ivory skin. All in all, please notice the clientele when you pick a salon. Cindy may be just find for someone with short hair who does not look for color treatment. The average age of this salon seems to be 45+ and as I am 21 this should of been the first flag. Every experience will be different and a new salon is always a roll of the dice. I hope that this review can help someone avoid the misery of a bad haircut and color.

I love this place!!! Hiro did a great job! This is my must-go hair salon in FL . Nice service

I Was in there for a facial with Suzy, had a haircut with Nicolette, and for the first time a massage with Suzy. It was unbelievable. I also go to Doug which is a good hairdresser. I well be back for sure. Nicolette took the time with my hair. If you want to be pampered go to this Salon. I feel wonderful when I go out of there. And very special. The Salon is right over the Bayside Bridge next to Publix in Clearwater. In the Bayside Bridge Plaza.

AMAZING! From the time I entered the salon until the time I left, I felt so very special. My daughter booked several wedding attendee's to get their hair and make-up done here. I couldn't have been more please with my style thanks to Patty. She made me feel so pretty and Doug added the final touches with his make-up artist skills. I could tell that they both loved what they do. Their prices were very fair for the services and they time they devote to you. I highly reccommend this salon for your next pampering session. Lisa

Salon West is The Best!!!!!!!
