Fair at best

by RVALady5

I've had my hair cut at Salon del Sol twice. The haircuts/styles were fine both times--nothing spectacular, but good for the price. On my first visit around this time last year they had scheduled my appointment for only 30 minutes...even my stylist thought that was weird. The cut was fine, but I left the salon with geled/scrunched hair due to lack of time (obviously, I would have preferred to have it dried). I let it go, figuring it was just a weird mix-up in their scheduling--plus the stylist had been professional and friendly.

I went to a different location several months later with no issue. Again, the haircut was fine.

I had an appointment this week, or so I thought. They'd actually scheduled it for the same weekday a week later. I know this wasn't my error because I'll be out of town then and wouldn't have scheduled for the date they had me down for. The gals at the front desk were nice enough about it, but I won't be be going back again. Driving across town to find out that your appointment has either been reduced to 30 minutes or misscheduled is incredibly frustrating. I'll take my business somewhere that makes less booking mistakes.

Salon del Sol positives: Nice staff, clean atmosphere, decent cuts for the price

negatives: Appointments are a h it or miss. You might want to follow up the day of.

BEST Salon around!!!!

by beltbuckle

I came to this website to leave a positive review because I am fairly new in town and I know how hard it is to find a good place so I am leaving it help others. I have been a customer of Salon Del Sol for a short period of time. I read some of the other reviews I am QUITE surprised to hear that anything could be negative about Salon Del Sol. I go to the Clover Hill location and usually use see VICKI or HOPE because they are the two master stylist that I was told that work there. I like the last person that left a review am from Manhattan as well and I expect a certain level being a business professional. Every time I have been to either stylist I have been MORE than pleased. Vicki is fun loving caring and just nice to look at {especially nice looking for her age}. Hope steals my interest in her love for her work. The time and I assume the money she has spent to go all of the places she tells me about. I lived in Manhattan for god sake and she has taken more classes in Manhattan then the guys that did my hair in Manhattan. The front desk does seem to have a big turn over, but much to be expected for that type of job. It is very clean and well decorated. As for the last couple of negative reviews it seems like you are very hard to please people. The last review that says VICKI was bad, you have been to 4 places already well do the math, maybe you are just unpleasable. As for the others that said HOPE was not up to par, I feel the same. You obviously have low self estem and think that hair is going to make everything better. Its just hair for gods sake. I think you all should review SHRINKS! Salon Del Sol is a professional, friendly, clean and educated facility. You cant go wrong here!

Bad hair Cut

by Lori36

Beltbuckle, you seem to know the stylists by name and their personality, therefore you either work there or have a personal interest it the business. Those of us who have gone there and paid top dollar for a bad hair cut have the right to post a negative opinion.

This is the third time I have gone to Salon Del Sol. I have been to the same person each time (Vicki) and I have always gotten a decent (not great) cut. This time however my cut was terrible. The layers are uneven and the ends are frizzy and frayed. This salon is overrated and overpriced. I moved here from NYC three years ago and cannot find anyone who knows the concept of blending layers or how to give a good hair cut. Salon Del Sol was my fourth salon since I have been here. At this point I think it might be worth the five hour drive back home to get my hair cut.

• Pros: Clean
