Meraki Studio - Ocala (FL)

1 /5 Melissa Lilley: I first want to say that the salon is super cute and the girls that work there are very sweet and I chose this salon/stylist based off the great reviews that I read and I was greatly disappointed in the outcome of my hair. I came in with grown out ashy/white blonde with my natural regrowth and was wanting the same tone of blonde just blended in. I left with splotchy gold/orange down to my already ashy ends. I literally fought back tears till I got in my car. I needed my hair done for my sisters baby shower the next day and I’m so embarrassed with how my hair looks. I’m not asking for a refund and I definitely don’t want the stylist to try and “fix” it, I just wish she would have said she couldn’t achieve my desired look than to leave with this mess. I won’t be returning to this salon.

5 /5 Trista Black: I am so very thankful to have Valine as my stylist!! She is not only professional, but genuinely sweet, and is beyond superb in her field of art!! I’ve never thought of a stylist as an artist until I witnessed Valine’s work. I’ve been going to her for my hairstyling needs for almost 10 years. Before Val, all of my hair coloring/haircut experiences had been a disaster to say the least. I have a mix of wavy, loose curls, and extreme curly hair so to find someone who is skilled enough to do my hair has always been a challenge. That’s where Valine came in! EVERY single time I have left Valine’s salon, I have left with exactly the cut and color I wanted. She is thorough and takes the time to make sure exactly what I want and how I want it, and then creates a work of art with my hair. What a blessing she has been to me and continues to be!! If you are in search for the BEST hair stylist/artist in the area, Valine is it!!

1 /5 Taylor: Moving to a new area i was stressed about finding a new salon. I chose this one. I walked in and showed Sara what i wanted and she was very confident she could accomplish it. I came in blonde and wanted some strawberry...i have never had someone put color on my hair at the shampoo bowl ....i thought it was odd. As she started to blow dry all i saw was brown... i left with ginger red roots and the rest was da splotchy ashy brown....i tried to contact the shop for my money back. Havent heard anything back.i washed it was Dawn dish soap to get some of the brown out. the next day i went to another salon and got it fixed immediately and it looks great now! photos below are what i left Meraki with .....i do not recommend.

5 /5 Luz Angela Florez: I tried for the vert first time this place and is amazing Valine was the one who cut my hair and gave it style her service was mesmerizing!! highly recommended, and for sure will come back soon!!

5 /5 Amy Bramley: Have been going to this salon for over three years. So on my wedding day it was a no Brainer that I would go to Meraki to have my hair and makeup done. Laudee did a fantastic job on my makeup and even held up in the rain and my hair did as well thanks to Sara.
