Salon Uptown Downtown

I Went there because it was near my work. I was charged $ 20 for a regular men’s haircut, she is way overpriced. she also messed up my fade. I’ll not be going back.

Wonderful experience with Lisa! She’s very knowledgeable, patient, and isn’t pushy with products or the scissor! I’m moving out of town, but will probably wait until I’m back in town to get my haircut by her again.

Pleased to find a salon and Lisa spent time cking my color and matching it. She is personable and good at what she does. I was very nervous, but we are here for 2 months and I can’t let my hair go that long. Thankful and feel pretty.

I just moved to Bradenton and how lucky I am I to find Azania Koi! I usually have to go through a dozen or so stylist before I find one that makes me look and feel great. Azania was the first person I tried and my search ends here. I have had more compliments on the haircut she gave me then from anyone else. Thank you Azania!

These reviews are in no way accurate. The salon was filthy, the pedicure chair was broken, and everything appeared to be under construction. There was hair everywhere including the toilet seat. Unsure if it’s dog or human hair at that. The pedicure was way under par, and the staff wasn’t your typical spa staff. Also, don’t bother with the Unilocal cupon, not one staff member knew how to redeem it. Oh, did I mention there was a mosquito swarming me the entire time? Don’t waste your time or money here.

Had an appointment here for some highlights. I had made the appointment a good 2 weeks in advance. I went in and had to wait for her to cut two gentlemans hair before she could cut mine, this was after my highlights were done and washed. She cut my hair in 2 seconds, it was a mediocre job. I barely have any layers. Asked for long bangs and got 20 strands of hair on each side cut. My hair is gross, highlights look cheap and fake. It was so bad I had to dye it back to brown the next day. Location is ghetto, entire place needs a makeover. Not a happy customer. Go to inspirations in sarasota on Main Street instead. Better location, better service and cheaper!

Seriously talented stylist/​owner, Lisa, is a fun and sassy lady! I am in town for ten weeks and was in need of a color and a trim. Now, we all know that finding a new stylist in a temporary setting is nerve-wracking…I’d compare it to finding a mechanic… and, after consulting
(as I always do), I was impressed to find the stellar reviews clients had left for Lisa! While out and about in Bradenton yesterday, I stopped by the salon to take a peek… I loved it! Lisa had stepped out temporarily so I left a message and asked her to call. When she called she asked how she could help. I shared that I was headed home for a 50^th birthday party and needed my color done beforehand. She asked when I was leaving…“ummm…the day after tomorrow.” Without hesitation, she fit me in on the first appointment the next morning! After a full color, a few highlights around my crown, a new style to frame my face, and a quick wax, I was more than ready to go to my party! This was NOT an ordinary boring salon appointment by any means! We laughed and chatted, and had a great time! BONUS: Lisa has a theater popcorn machine in her shop! So, if you’re in the area and need a touch up, call Lisa! Or, if you’re not in the area but in need of a FABULOUS new stylist, call Lisa! Wanna try a new look or color, call Lisa! This girl does it all! She’s F.A.B.U.L.O.U.S! (And, since I know you wanna know, so are her prices!)
See you for a color touch up before we move on, Lisa! You can count on that!

We’ve just bought a condo in Bradenton, where we’ll spend all winter, so I needed to find a local hair stylist. I searched online, and found Salon Uptown’s website. I was immediately impressed by their website, which allowed me to see all of their available appointments and to schedule one. First the website showed me the available services and the approximate time needed for each. Then I was able to book appointments, using my email address and/​or my cellphone number. One day before my appointment, I received an email reminder. (I could have received a text reminder, but preferred the email reminder.) I arrived 20 minutes early for my appointment. Lisa was very friendly, noted she was just finishing up with another client, and actually took me 15 minutes before my scheduled time, which was great. Since this was my first appointment, she asked me how long it had been since my last haircut, and then to describe what I’d like done. She followed my instructions «to the T,» and did a really nice job. Because she started early and was also quite efficient, I was finished twenty minutes early. A great experience all around. I’ll be scheduling my next appointment in the near future.

Just left Salon Uptown Downtown, Lisa was wonderful. Being very new to the city, our conversation was was interesting and effortless. My hair was cut exactly what I expected at a reasonable price. Parking was limited but it was easy getting in and out. I will recommend Lisa at Salon Uptown Downtown to everyone!

Lisa was great, she listens to what you want and makes it happen. The online booking is convenient. The front parking is tight and right off the main street but there is more parking in back and across the street from the back. Cozy and pleasant salon.

I had a great experience at salon uptown downtown. I came in for a 30 minute haircut and as soon as Dani saw me she said we’d need an hour and a half. I got a deep conditioning treatment and a fantastic cut as well as tips for what products to use with my hair type. Even though she spent 3x more time with me, the price of my haircut didn’t go up at all. You will definitely have a great experience if you get your hair cut here.

This salon is awesome! Right in downtown Bradenton, this is a full service salon filled with great people who have excellent skills regarding all kinds of personal care. Coming from someone who doesn’t normally use a salon, they have me hooked! I wouldn’t get my haircut anywhere else. Lisa specifically is a hilariously fun stylist to be around in any case, and it definitely helps that she’s great at what she does!

The online booking is pretty awesome, as it means no phone-​tag on either side. Lisa being open and available on New Year’s Eve was also a major thing; I’m surprised, to be honest, given the quality of service, that she wasn’t booked through, but perhaps the online booking whooshes over the head of the normal Bradenton resident? I don’t know.
The salon is easy to find, though parking can be a bit awkward (there’s not much space between the road and the parking spaces). Oddly, the window-​signage doesn’t show up on google’s street view, but rest assured, it’s there and there’ll be a board outside when the salon’s open. The salon proper is rather nice, design-​wise, though I didn’t see the nail booths in the back area.
I went for a downdo for a swing dance New Year’s party. Lisa was very friendly, made good conversation, and was willing to look at and discuss various styles to see which would best suit me and the outfit I was planning to wear. After testing to make sure my hair would hold the curls, she spent about an hour and a half making sure that the style was what I wanted and fighting a few stubborn curls. It looked great — not utterly perfect, but I never expect that of my hair and I’m not sure it’d actually DO a Dita style without flyaways! — and I asked if she had time to do makeup.
She did, and I got a great many compliments on it and the hair at the party/​dance. She spent a lot of time on it, beyond what she had to or had estimated, which I greatly appreciated, and she got the period/​vintage look down pat when I hadn’t provided makeup examples.
Cost-​wise, especially with the Unilocal deal which was up at the time of this appointment, it was great. I’d have paid full without a qualm.
