aeffect hair — Local services in Winter Park

Aeffect Hair is filled with personable professionals that have a real passion to make your hair look at is best. I’ve been going to Celina for quite some time now. Her passion and dedication to her craft is quite evident and very admirable. Nestled in a basement of an office building in Hannibal Square, this salon has a very chic industrial feel. The waiting area is filled with amenities such as phone chargers of all types, geeky literature to books of cute animal dressed as humans, free wifi and a fridge filled with complimentary local craft beer! Yes, that’s right - A FRIDGE FILLED WITH COMPLIMENTARY local craft BEER!!! That’s so great. Of course if you don’t drink, one of the attendants will politely ask you if you would like anything to drink such as coffee, water, or juice - all from local purveyors and very proud of it! If you are an environmentalist or conservationist, you’ll be very pleased to know how environmentally friendly this salon is. Products sold are environmentally conscious and the staff take subtle steps in recycling while keeping the place nice and clean. It just as a very cool, unpretentious vibe staffed with attentive people.

Finding a good stylist/barber that you can click with, as everyone can attest, is like finding precious metal in a beach. It is rare, difficult, time consuming and infuriating when you don’t have time or the patience. I’m very glad I found one that I feel confident about because I know how passionate, attentive and dedicated the owner is. I strongly disagree with John’s review. Given its contemptuous tone when comparing a salon to a doctor’s office, in addition, mentioning the other salons in town and on how to do business – I scoffed. What he failed to mentioned is that salon's scheduling system sends message notifications to your preferred way of communication. So a day or two ahead of your appointment, you get a text message/email a reminder that you have an appointment. In that, it also states its fees. While I get he is frustrated - nobody likes to incur fees but it’s clearly stated in the reminders so ¯(ツ)/¯. It is also a common business practice – not sure what business he is familiar with.

Anyway, if you are looking for stylists that are attentive, professional and really are into their craft in a cool, chic space then I highly recommend Aeffect Hair. Here’s some pro-tips:

Pro-tip 1# – street parking is available but there is another lot in the corner, New England and Douglas that has ample space about a block away.

Pro-tip 2# - Coming from East Orlando (UCF, Aloma Ave) on a Saturday morning from 7 to 1 is not the morning you should take New England Avenue to straight shoot to the salon – no matter what Google Maps tell you.

Pro-tip 3# Please prepare for the sugary sweet face of Sterling, the...

Don’t hesitate. Just book your appointment! I’ve been getting my hair done professionally for 25+ years and this is by far the best salon experience I’ve ever had. My hair has been almost every color imaginable and varied from a pixie cut to reaching my butt over the years. I’ve searched for years and finally found my unicorn hairstylist ~ Liz at Aeffect hair. I’d been visiting another well known Orlando area salon and wasn’t happy with my look and my hair was extremely dry and damaged using their branded products. My sis gets her hair done by Celina and kept urging me to make an appointment at Aeffect and I’m glad I finally did. I set up a consult and talked with Liz about my hair goals and we made a plan. We set aside 4 hours for my return appointment. Sitting in her chair, I knew I was in an artists hands and she worked her magic. I’m a person that is looking for direction when it comes to my hair and she provides that. She found the curls I didn’t know existed and cut and colored to enhance my look. I’m elated to have a hairstyle that is easy to maintain on my own. It’s awesome to have products that work and smell amazing. I also appreciate the pricing at Aeffect Hair. They charge an hourly rate that is disclosed up front. There aren’t any surprise fees and no need to figure out a tip amount since it’s an hourly rate. I’d love if more of the service industry followed this model taking the guesswork out of tipping in general. Bottom Line. If you’re looking for an inclusive, eco friendly salon with amazing artists then book your appointment at...

I always get compliments after leaving her salon! And it's a fun vibe inside, they're always playing my favorite music jams!

This salon isn't like others I've seen. It gives an edgy, industrial, minimalist, modern vibe. Straight from the get go walking down the stairs from street level you're like 'What's this, am I still in Florida?' Then even better it's super Eco-conscious and promotes recycling and has up-cycled decor.

The staff aren't uppity or pretentious but instead the opposite, warm, friendly and eager to beautify you all the while educating you on the local "what's uppery" that keeps this town unique.

But I must admit my all time favorite thing about this salon is the owner, Celina! I have been following her for years as its only from her hands that my locks stay gorgeous AND healthy! From someone with a bright bold hair color, I know I must show my hair extra TLC and I get that from Celina. She's also got me ADDICTED to all of the best Davines hair care products. Even if you don't care about the health, texture or sexiness of your hair... You'll want Davines because of all the smells it gives you. Just breathe it in. It's like sunsets and puppies and love...
