Marilyns Hair Salon - St. Petersburg (FL)

1 /5 Kierra Casimir: If you are African American with natural hair this is NOT the place for you. I came here for a deep condition, trim and blowout. Rosa was the stylist that did my hair. She was a nice lady but had no idea what she was doing. She was very rough while washing my hair and did not know how to detangle it. Since it was not properly detangled it was difficult to blow it out. Multiple times she burned me on accident while doing my hair. I told the receptionist about my experience and informed her I would never come back. Before the appointment I asked if they know how to do natural hair and was told yes they can. It is a disservice to say you can do natural hair when it is far from the truth. I advised the receptionist to not allow Rosa to do anyone else with natural hair because it is evident she cannot properly do it and does harm to the customer. My experience and others with natural hair who left a review about Rosa, shows she should not be doing African American natural hair. Allow it to be a warning before booking. When I got home I noticed my hair was not trimmed properly and my hair suffered severe heat damage. I now have to cut my hair. I cried so much. Please do not go here. If you decide to book an appointment and you are African American with natural hair, do not allow Rosa to do your hair. She is a sweet woman but she doesn’t know how to do our hair. I normally don’t leave reviews but I had to so no one else makes the same mistake as I did.

1 /5 Aigerim Nurysheva: Horrible, horrible experience, I simply asked to cut my hair straight. Her name is Rosa or something like this. She cut them horribly and not even. When she washed my hair she was scratching my scalp so bad with her nails. No gloves. Reception is very poor. I called and asked to make an appointment with one lady, but when I walked in they gave me who ever was available. It’s the worst experience in my life. And cherry on top, she added all those creams and sprays a lot, like after I left my hair looked dirty and oily. I with I could give even less then 1 star!!!!!

5 /5 Queen G.: Everyone was very welcoming. Jada made me feel very comfortable. She answered all my questions and explained with care even the simplest questions putting me at ease. Very pleased with everything!

2 /5 Sophie Romero: not the best. I’m only speaking from my perspective someone who has course hair I would not return to save my course haired ladies the trip. My hair felt greasy not bouncy when I left and my roots were still course. They got the job done but this doesn’t look or feel like a Dominican blow out. Honestly feels like i got my hair done at a Walmart or by one of my aunties. i urgently needed my hair done for a dinner and they got me in but I left disappointed. Maybe they are better for someone who doesn’t have textured hair.

5 /5 Imperial account: I travel to Marilyn’s hair salon from the north to the south because no one can do my hair the best. The staff here are friendly and the price is right. Very affordable prices with good service.
