Salon On Central

I have been trying to find a good stylist around the orlando area for about a year now and after viewing the positive Unilocal reviews I gave salon on central a try. I hate to give them such a negative review because overall the staff was very friendly and the prices were more affordable than most. I visited the salon looking for highlights and a cut. I have naturally blonde hair so usually its hard to mess up highlights in my hair because they look natural no matter what you do to do it. I have never had to go back into a salon to get my hair fixed until now. The haircut was average I asked for about two inches off and matt, my stylist took about three and a half, which is fine because it needed a good chop anyways but the highlights were atrocious.
I left the salon not being the type to complain, thinking after I washed an styled it myself it would fall into place but I was wrong. The highlights were set about an inch away from my roots and under the top layer they were angled a strange way and no where close to my roots. It was as if I let my hair grow out for about a month or so. I called and they offered for me to come in the next day to fix it at no cost which I really appreciated.
I went back and showed matt what I was unhappy with and he tried to explain that he angles the highlights for a reason, but I didn’t pay the amount of money I did for my roots to not be touched up and have a strange unnatural gradient. He put more foils in closer to my roots and it’s blonder now but definitely does not look better. There is still a lot of noticeable space between the highlight and root and now the highlights are extremely uneaven on the underside of my hair.
Needless to say I will not be returning to salon on central.

On vacation and drove my wife to get her hair washed, blow dried, and styled. The beautician did a great job, was very personable, and the cost was very reasonable. Don’t hesitate to patronize this salon. Ask for Bernadette and you will not be disappointed.

This salon is really nice, personable associates, and very good haircuts. They offer other great services such as manicures and pedicures. The prices are decent as they cater more to the locals. I would definitely recommend to my friends and family.

Evelyn did the Best manicure & pedicure I have had in a long time! No chips on the mani or pedi for several days even after being in the pool. Front desk staff did a great job of fitting me in. Very close to I Drive. Will be back next time I’m in town.

If you’re looking for a high quality hair cut, color, style and/​or nails done you HAVE to come to Salon on Central! The professionalism and talent of each of the hair stylist is something that can’t be over looked. Im here working and so happy I found this salon! I have dark brown hair and Diana was able to take it down to platinum without burning or ruining my hair. I am so happy with the overall service and anytime I’m in Orlando this is my number one stop! Matthew was kind enough to run out and grab the color dye I requested! Needless they’re amazing!

The old Hairem II Salon in Williamsburg Downs is now the Salon on Central with new owners, Matt & Bodi!
The old gal is getting a make-​over: her walls are being painted, pedicure chairs have come out of back rooms and into the nail salon area, and a welcoming new coffee/​lounge area has been added to the front of the shop. Out of the 50s and into the second decade of the «new millennium.» Yay!!!
I’ve always liked this laid-​back neighborhood salon and its friendly cast of characters. And now, I like it even more. Chief among my favorites is Eileen, the Perfectionist Nail Tech. Not only will she do a great job on your nails, but she’s full of ideas and suggestions, even took time to experiment with a couple of different shades of polish to see which one was most flattering to my skin tone. My French mani lasted an extra day; my French pedi lasted nearly four weeks!
Amy, another nail tech, is said to give fabulous facials and of course you can still get a great haircut & style etc., from Matt & Co.
Salon on Central is still a work in progress, but so far, so good!
