When I moved to St Augustine, it was hard to find a salon and stylist that clicked with what I expected, who could work with my hair issues, and who cared about my satisfaction with the final outcome. Digna met all the criteria. When she opened her salon, Mahela, I moved with her. She is a consummate professional and a caring business owner. She always wants the salon clientele to be satisfied and pleased with their individual results, regardless of what service the client wants or who in the salon provides the service.
Mahela’s staff members are friendly, conscientious, and strive to give honest opinions to clients who want to change their look or try a new product or treatment. In the end, if the client says “This is what I want” or “Do you think this works for me?” (as I have done), Mahela’s staff aims to deliver a professional, quality result. My hair has changed as I grow older, but Mahela keeps it looking great!
Digna and Heather are wonderful at their work with hair, from color to cut to finished results and both have provided quality service to me. Ai Chan, who does everything for nails, is top-notch -- I never had a manicure or pedicure last for more than a few days, at best, before I tried Ai’s expertise. The ladies are pleasant, professional, and treat their clients well.
I have been pleased and satisfied for over 10 years with the quality and expertise of the professionals at Mahela Salon. I strongly recommend...
Read moreHaving extremely curly hair, I didn't want to entrust my locks to just anyone. However, I didn't want to pay 60 plus dollars for a haircut from some fancy-schmancy place either...This salon has great pricing and the ladies that work there all have years of experience.(My stylist mentioned it was her 26th year doing hair!) The thing that I really loved about the experience is that I got the haircut that I ASKED FOR. So many places I have been say 'oh, yea I know what you mean, I can do that no problem" and I end up walking away with something totally different than what I asked them to do. At Mahela, Bobbie cut my hair in less that 15 minutes and it was exactly what I wanted. If you want a professional cut without having to pay extra for all the silly frills of other salons (ie: tribal music, indoor waterfalls, and a 2 second scalp massage with "calming oils") then this is a great place with...
Read moreI've been here twice to get my haircut with Bobbie and I don't think I will go anywhere else! Everyone is so friendly and down to earth. Bobbie is the best hair stylist I've found in Saint Augustine. If you have long hair and are afraid of getting a haircut because you don't want them to chop it off, go to Bobbie! She listens to what you want and gives you exactly that. If you want to keep your hair long she takes off the least amount of hair possible. I love my haircut and not only does it still have plenty of length but also added volume and body. I knew right away that Bobbie knew what she was doing and I loved how she offered tips and advice on how to maintain healthy hair. If you haven't tried this salon, I highly...
