Scissors

I went to Scissors today for the first time to get a mani/pedi for my wedding on Sat. The polish top coat has many bubbles in it and looks terrible. I spoke with the owner and she "does not give refunds on services" and she didn't offer an apology. She offered they could do my nails again which was not a reasonable solution to me given that I have no reason to expect that they would come out any better. Chances are they'd still look terrible and I'd waste more time. Instead, I'll go to another place for a polish change tomorrow, the day before my wedding; pay more money, and be even more crunched on time. I do not recommend this salon for both its poor quality and customer service. more

Scissors can do everything, and they're just that good at it! I always get my cut there as well as highlights, coloring, and spiral perms. I never walked out disappointed. The price isn't too bad considering the quality of the service and the warm personality of the staff. My haircut preference is a bit complex, but they handle it perfectly! They also take the time to style however you want it. I also get eyebrows done whenever I'm too lazy to do them myself. They're great at that too. I had my first highlighting there. I was curious about the chemicals and the process, but the staff was very informative on my questions without "endorsing." The highlights came out lovely, and got several compliments from my friends. They are the ONLY salon that I have been to that has a staff that does not force you to buy their hair products. I love this place and will continue going here as long as I live in Gainesville. more

I've tried several other places in an effort to get a great haircut. This is by far the best place to get a haircut in Gainesville. I have several friends that now get haircuts here as well, and all of them are thrilled with the results. It is a bit pricey considering the other options in town, but they charge exactly what I would expect to pay at a nice salon. more

A little pricey (30-50 dollars just for the cut), but the staff is excellent. They will work with you to achieve your desired cut, and they are very attentive not only to what you want but also to what makes you look better. If you are prepared to splurge, they are also great doing color to your hair. more
