Volume ONE Salon

Marissa did my hair last night. This was my first time at Volume One. I have long hair and requested long layers put in and just a general thinning out (hair was getting really heavy). She did an amazing job! Barely any length was taken off but my hair is ten times lighter and feels amazing. Really good price for the quality of the cut. Everyone in the salon was very nice. I will be back!

Volume ONE is the best salon in Pensacola! Elliott cut my hair and gave me a baylayage and I was blown away! He is so good at what he does and has genuine concern for his clients. He is also very kind and easy to talk to, which is an added bonus! I will definitely be going back to him! The salon itself is very well put together, clean, and modern. The staff is all very nice, knowledgeable, and helpful (also very good looking!). I’m very excited I tried out this salon, it will definitely be my goto from here on out! If you want your hair to look amazing and have an overall great experience, go to Volume ONE!!!

Last year, I moved back from San Diego and was so sad to leave my amazing stylist. When I arrived in Pensacola, I was very apprehensive about the salons I was researching. Usually in small towns (yes, Pensacola is a small town), the hairstylists are close-​minded and uneducated, stuck in the styles of 2005. That being said, I went downtown and stumbled upon this incredibly stylish and up-​to-​date salon. I made an appointment with Elliot, and I have never looked back. I was so impressed with the staff and the atmosphere! They are so knowledgeable and they take classes all the time to keep up with what’s new. I now refuse to let anyone else touch my hair. Elliot is AMAZING. I really don’t even have to explain to him what to do. He knows exactly what my hair needs. It’s SO hard to find good stylists, but trust me you will not be disappointed at Volume ONE!

I got my hair hair done here for my wedding day along with my bridal party and my mother and mother-​in-​law. I am so glad I chose Volume One. There were 11 of us in total, which is a lot of women to get ready by a certain time, but everything was easy and flawless. We used the upstairs loft space that was available just for our party. Katherine, the wedding coordinator, ordered breakfast for us and made sure we were on schedule. She was so helpful and easy to work with.
My hair looked AMAZING and so did everyone’s in my party. Sometimes I’ve seen at other weddings where the brides hair looks great and the bridesmaids… not so much — that was NOT the case here. All the stylists were invested in everyone looking great. I had so much fun hanging out with my girls before the wedding in a relaxing private space where we were pampered and made to look our best. Don’t hesitate to go here for your wedding or any other special event!

Marissa was so sweet and helpful! She advised me on how to take care of my hair and tell me what I could do and shouldn’t do as far as color. She took her time we me and I didn’t feel rushed at all. She’s so personable and friendly. Definitely recommend her especially for balayage and color melting. She’s wonderful!

Says they’re open till 8 pm but that’s not true, please realize people with most jobs can’t make it there throughout the week. Stay open later.

I have tried several salons in Pensacola and this is hands down the best in the city, and they have some of the most talented stylist in the South East. I have had my hair cut and highlighted by Hurst and Elliot. They are amazing andI highly recommend both of them. The salon is very chic, parking is easy in the back.

Kat did my hair me I had a disaster! She was right there with a solution for all of my problems! From how to break up the black, to how to cut my hair for easier maintenance while growing out a pixie! She was super knowledgeable and did an amazing job! As a fellow stylist I HIGHLY recommend Kat!

I was a loyal customer until they raised their prices by 25% without notifying their current customers (or even the ones who scheduled their appointment when they were 25% less). I guess the prices were raised to pay for the atmosphere??? No explanation was given so I can only assume. I’ll be going somewhere an imperfect trim doesn’t cost two tanks of gas.
The last time I got my hair cut here the responses from those around me the next day were «you got your haircut? You should go back and get your bangs fixed»… From more than one person. Thanks for nothing, Volume One.

I went to Volume ONE Salon based off of other Unilocal reviews. I was impressed from the moment I walked in. I was greeted by a friendly receptionist and immidiately offered a coffee, water, or beer. It was inviting and relaxing from start to finish. Marissa was my stylist and I am already in love. She made my hair look amazing and did not rush. My hair is long, thick, and curly and she had me walking out of there feeling like a movie star. I asked for recommendations on products to use but at no point ever felt pressured to buy any (but I did). I already booked a follow-​up appointment for color and a cut. I only got a cut and style at this appointment due to the short notice of my appointment. Their location in the heart of downtown Pensacola which makes it perfect for a day trip of shopping and walking along Palafox. My mom went with me and was so impressed that she booked an appointment with another stylist who comes recommended for short hair. The price for the cut and style and all the products that I bought was far less than what I have been used to paying when living in Las Vegas. My cut and style was almost 2 hours and worth every penny. I have finally found my new go-​to hair salon!

I’ve been going to Volume One for a little over three years, I have never left the salon disappointed from a haircut, Hurst and his staff are always smiling and they seem to enjoy what they do. My hair is the canvas they use to paint their styles. Last week, Hurst gave me an amazing haircut, one of those haircuts that makes you feel young and sexy. My favorite salon!!!

I had GG (Gabriel). She was amazing! She offered advice, was very professional and my hair turned out amazing! She took her time and gave an awesome massage when shampooing my hair! The place is amazing! Comfortable and relaxing. They offer wine for your comfort. Would definitely reccomend this salon to anyone!

I’ll preface this by saying I don’t get my haircut as often as I should but Kat definitely made my hair look and feel so much healthier after visiting the salon. The staff was very welcoming and the space was bright, clean and comfortable.
I showed a photo of the style I desired and Kat did a great job sticking to that… Generally stylists end up cutting off way more hair than I ask. I now still have a nice length and it even seems to have a little more volume (which is awesome because I have very fine hair)
. Anyway thanks volume one! Unfortunately I don’t live anywhere near Pensacola but if I did this would be my go to spot.

The crew is fantastic. This is the best haircut I’ve had in decades. The cut is so good I could go a month or more between cuts. It grows out and I still love it.
The products are expensive but long lasting and smell fantastic. My son loves his time here too. Wine beer coffee water — relax and let them take care of you. The masala chai is as good as any upscale Indian restaurant– thanks Stefan !

This place is absolutely killer. Theres plenty of salons in Pensacola, but this one is really the only shop that knows where all the modern trends are headed before they get there. Hurst has a skill for infusing a cool vibe into the place, it makes the experience all the better.
And you thought you were just coming here for a haircut.

What a great place! This was my first time here. I was was referred here by my stylist who recently moved. Great atmosphere that was right up my alley. I was offered a beer as soon as I walked in. Met with Bobby who I highly recommend for men’s cuts. He truly is an artist. This place is a gold mine waiting to explode. Will be going here as long as I am in the area!

I have mixed feelings for this place. The girls who did hair I’ll start with… Although they were over an hour late, I was lucky enough to get my hair done by Anna who was both super trendy and talented and fun! Anna created an amazing updo for me that stayed all night long and withstood the wind and humidity we all know to be present on the Beach. I highly recommend you make them your hairstylists of choice for a wedding or any occasion at their awesome salon downtown Pensacola. She gets a 5 star rating and the assistant who curled hair was nice too.
The makeup girls were outsourced I believe or recommended by Volume One but we’re late as well. The moment they walked in they asked us to move furniture and made us move a crib and many other things when they should have. Then the cost was estimated at $ 75 prior to them coming. They asked if you wanted lashes and also mentioned that airbrush is the way to go but it’s an addtl $ 20 so they were upfront about that… But when the first girl got done her ticket read $ 161 so we thought that was for hair and makeup which seemed right but it wasn’t. The hair was $ 90 on top of that so we quickly found out they were adding $ 10 for lashes and adding 18% gratuity and a travel fee but the numbers didn’t add up… And they weren’t forthcoming about it. So everyone’s was different and the math was not right and everyone was pretty furious. I’ve had hair done in NY and makeup done in several cities and nothing has ever come close to the cost they were charging. So the big kicker was this «travel fee» which is does state in the contract but it’s absurd: it’s $ 225 for 1 hour for 1 hair person then $ 100 /​hr After that. So to do 11 girls that takes a while so the travel fee came out to $ 375. Are you serious??? We were staying over a $ 1 toll and about $ 5 in gas away — what does the travel fee cover? The bride got frustrated and paid the whole thing so for her hair and makeup plus the two jr. Bridesmaids plus travel fee was $ 774!!! We don’t expect a discount because we knew them and we never asked for a deal but we truly feel we got ripped off. Really disappointed and hope you consider going with another salon that doesn’t charge an arm and a leg.

We used VolumeONE for our wedding day and the results were fabulous! Thanks to Kim and Brittany our entire bridal party looked amazing. They traveled right to our hotel and even to the venue to do touchups. Could not have asked for better service. Loved going into the salon as well for my bridal trial. The atmosphere felt fun and relaxed, but it was definitely a well run business that catered to the clients. Plus the location is great, just steps away from some great downtown businesses and restaurants. Can’t wait to go back again!

I have been a client of Hurst’s for 7 years and he has taken my hair from an edgy feminine Mohawk to an adorably sexy bob and back! His team of stylists are all incredibly different and yet all super talented as they travel the world to stay current on trends, training and products that are a bit ahead of P’cola.
From cut, color, or a great blow out for a date– sitting in Volume One is better than therapy. Always greeted with a glass of wine or coffee and a smile at the door.
It’s like cheers where everyone knows your name, but better.

As a patron since the beginning I wouldn’t ever go anywhere else. The styles are always fantastic. From classic to edgy they’ll do it all except allow you to murder your hair. If you prefer telling a stylist what to do even if they don’t agree it’ll look right don’t come here.
However if you like being able to sit down in the chair and allow the stylist to create a look JUST FOR YOU then this is the place. All of the staff are friendly and take their craft seriously.
