Vera Beauty — Local services in Jacksonville

I want to make an addendum to my review from a few months ago… I wrote this review because my first experience was “nice” meaning the people were nice and personable. But the actual ability of my particular stylist was subpar. I showed a few inspirational pictures to multiple people who worked in the salon because they couldn’t figure out how to do it without actually saying they couldn’t do it. I would’ve loved the honesty and would’ve been okay with changing what I wanted done. But after my appointment, paying full price for color and a cut (which didn’t show any different to the cut I had when I walked in) my hair looked the same. I went back that following week for a redo since it wasn’t what I paid for, and I walked out with wet hair and color that still wasn’t correct or even close to what I originally showed my stylist. Moral of the story, please do some research. I know how hard it is to find a new stylist when you move, but take my experience as an example of a desperate navy spouse happy to have to found someone within that navy spouse fb group to do my hair, and find out the stylist is not even a navy spouse anymore and is still posting in that group to find new clients posing as a spouse. I don’t EVER make negative reviews, but I thought about the other women and the hard earned money they’re spending, and probably wasting.

This salon is absolutely gorgeous, the owner did an amazing job decorating and creating this lux environment to get pampered. I got my hair colored. My stylist Ashlynn and her fellow stylists were so sweet and personable. I felt completely comfortable right when I walked in. Plus it’s also in a perfect spot to do some local shopping after you get your hair done!...

I will NEVER go back again. Really disappointed and sad. I asked on a FB group about salon recommendations because I have difficult hair ( Asian thick hair ) and the stylist reached out to me. I was messaged her what I want and she said she could do it. I trusted her but the stylist chopped my hair really short right away. If she wasnt confident she should've started slow instead of jumping right in. After her first cut I asked her to slow down because it wasn't looking right. She didn't even cut it straight. she didn't cut the hair on the back of my neck and face line too. The hair is longer than the overlay. Now I look alike Edna"E"mode from the incredibles. The entire hair cut took about 30 min. My husband has longer haircuts...$200 ( I got a Brazilian blowout too ) wasted on a stylist who didn't care enough to do her job correctly. Also gave me a snobby look for only tipping 10% for a haircut I...

Just wanted to give a 5 Star review to Abby Freeman for a job beyond and above!!! I had shoulder length dark brown natural curly hair and she cut it pixie style and colored it platinum blonde!!! I have to say that NO ONE but ABBY was going to touch my hair and for good reason!!!! SHE IS AMAZING. My hair looks great. No yellow tones and No breakage!! I have never felt so pretty. The customers in the salon that day could not compliment her enough and told me I actually looked like I just walked out of a magazine!!!!! Well Done Abby Freeman you worked a miracle...
