I too am new to the Tampa area and after having gone to a few places around the USF area and downtown, I finally decided to try out this salon because it uses Aveda products. It was really weird- it seems as though the stylist had only been trained in a certain style of haircut because no matter what I requested, I always ended up getting the same thing. She likes to do alot of the razored-look and ended up creating a style that I think is too severe and "sculpted" whereas I like my hair to fall softly and naturally. I don't know if this is the Aveda institute training or what but I didn't care for it. I had color done several times and each time it was not what I wanted. In one instance it was like $200 and the color came out uneven and splotchy. For that much money, the color should at least be even. I had to get another box of hair dye at the grocery store and fix it myself when the color-depositing conditioner they reccomended did not even it out. At a salon, it should be right the first time. If not, they should bend over backwards to fix it, not tell you to do it yourself with another product. I have had better results coloring my hair at home. I wish I had not made the decision to get color at this salon. Be warned-- your hair color will look differnt in the salon than under lights at home and you may not be pleased. I hate to say this, but I question the quality of Aveda haircolor. It never turned out nice.
Pros: usf area, so it's convenient, laid-back atmosphere, not snooty
Cons: hard to get out of parking lot because on busy corner, might not get hair you want
