Hair Salons in Warrington

An autumnal color palette warms the expansive interior of IV Seasons Tanning & Hair Studio, where stylists snip strands at stations in the glow of bright vanity lighting. Employing an arsenal of Redken and other top-shelf hair products, they trim, color, and style locks based on a thorough consultation with the client and every one of their head snakes. Meanwhile, technicians tucked away in private suites remove unwanted hair with warm wax and bronze bodies with airbrush tans.

For years, stylist Rachel Adams fielded requests for quick appointments by clients who had “somewhere to be.” Dismayed by this in-and-out approach to pampering, she decided her own salon should be designed as a tranquil space that clients would think of as a destination rather than a stop along the way. Today, at Somewhere To Be Salon, Rachel and her staff help clients to soak up some much-needed “me” time with mani-pedis, haircut and color services, and 30-minute facials performed under the light of a small crystal chandelier. And because staffers know how hard it can be to pencil in quality time with friends, they offer a special Girls Night Out package for ladies to catch up and make prank phone calls while enjoying makeup, nail, and hairstyling services.

The sounds of snips and relaxed sighs join together in a chorus that fills 10th Avenue Hair Designs, where 22 beauty professionals cut locks in classic and avant-garde styles, massage weary muscles, and lavish skin with facials. Skilled stylists pepper this uninterrupted song with lively chatter as they stroll around salon chairs, tending to unkempt hairdos with expert highlights, straightening treatments, and natural-looking extensions. Just outside a splash zone sprinkled with cropped strands and shampoo suds, the salon’s nail technicians brighten appendages with cherry-red and blush-pink coats of polish and chip-resistant Shellac.

Further removed from the action on the salon’s main floor, a massage therapist stationed in a private treatment room kneads away knots with Swedish strokes and gently applies pressure to feet during reflexology sessions. The salon’s focus on natural remedies is on full display during facial treatments, in which aestheticians pamper and rejuvenate skin with handmade scrubs, lactic and natural flower acids, and facials that incorporate seaweed.

Waters of Hadassah Salon and Day Spa was voted “Best Day Spa” by the Pensacola News Journal in 2011 for its passionate staff and high-standards of excellence. The spa’s team of beauty-industry professionals have dedicated themselves to unveiling their customers’ natural beauty and individuality, whether that means calming frizzy strands with keratin smoothing treatments or dressing each nail in its own tiny beach scene. The full menu of beautifying services includes everything from partial and full foil highlights to facials, waxing, and microdermabrasion, and the staff also specializes in special-event hairstyling to help ready heads for weddings or formal trips to the mailbox.

Some children may innocently point out a person’s imperfections, but as a kid, Lisa Sturt knew how to work on them. As she grew older, she received training in New Jersey, New York, Paris, Chicago, and LA. Now, she brings her talents to Florida in her own salon.

At Brava Hair Studio and Day Spa, Lisa helms a staff of beauty professionals who remove dead skin cells with brown sugar or sea salt. They also swipe away unwanted hair using Lycon Gold wax, which is designed for all skin types. Her hairstylists follow a five-step approach to salon services. It starts with getting to know the client, then suggesting styles based on texture and shape of the hair, educating the client on how to keep hair strong and healthy, and finally, teaching the client step-by-step techniques to create the same hairstyle at home or change it after a spy on the run has adopted the client’s previous haircut.

"A good consultation goes a long way." So says Heidi Taylor, who honed her craft in New Orleans before opening Salon Allure here in Pensacola. The motto means that Heidi establishes good communication with her clients immediately, so that each salon service fulfills their personal vision of themselves and matches their unique personality. Taylor has found her mantra to be so effective that she has spread it to her team of five beauty techs, which includes an airbrush-tanning artist and trained massage therapist. Each of her hairstylists brandishes Goldwell hair color—a personal favorite of Taylor—as well as the antioxidant-rich Moroccanoil haircare line as they beautify 'dos with cuts, colors, and highlights. The salon's resident massage therapist personalizes treatments by using specific modalities, such as trigger point and hot stone, to ease out body aches and pains. Alongside a spectrum of salon and spa services, the contemporary beauty studio is outfitted with a petite boutique area that is lined with trendy jewelry, Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses, and hand-painted portraits of Rapunzel wearing an impatient smirk.
