As always staff & you are always welcoming! Clean environment. Smiles from y’all really starts the day in a great way! Love this salon…best salon I have ever been!
Absolutely fabulous(a).
I Love the fact that all I had to do is sit down in the chair and answer a few questions. Sophia took it from there. SHE DOES BEAUTIFUL WORK! My only regret; not finding her sooner. Thank you!!!
Love my hair Madison!!! I feel young and beautiful again!! As always an exceptional experience! 🥰😘
Ashley is amazing!! She gave me a balayage treatment and the color is so natural and soft it looks like I was born with it! She is also very knowledgeable about condition of hair and what products would be the most beneficial. I just moved to Jax Beach and it’s not always easy to find a great stylist…..well, I…
I do not know why I waited so long to schedule. Justine was nothing short of amazing! My hair looks so beautiful. She was professional, kind, knowledgeable, listened and helped me achieve what my hair is capable of without doing damage. I have found my person here in Jax and I could not be more excited 🥳
Megan did an awesome job with my cut, color, and advice on keeping my hair healthy! Additionally, Megan is knowledgeable about hair products that meet my needs perfectly! Sass Salon’s staff is friendly and welcoming. I have referred all of my friends in the area to check it out.
Can’t say enough good about this place! The hairstylists are experts; a number of them actually travel around the country teaching others, which tells you how good they are. The whole vibe is super positive and welcoming from the moment you check in to when you leave. Everyone I interacted with was friendly and…
Sass has a great staff and Sophia always does the best cut and color. My hair is healthy and looks fabulous because of Sophia’s expertise!!
There is no one else that I would feel comfortable with doing my hair. A woman's hair is everything!! That is why I send every one I can to SASS because they are ALL really amazing in more ways than one! Sophia has the best team working for her. No doubt!! Love, Leah Ware
Marcello is absolutely fantastic!! Marcello is a true professional and hair expert! He takes the time to genuinely listen to your desires and concerns. He is extremely knowledgeable and detail oriented! He’s fun and provides a great ambiance! You’ll leave with fabulous hair, more knowledge on how to keep it healthy, and a new friend!!
I saw Marcello for the first time yesterday and I trusted him to do whatever he wanted to my hair. I can say I am OBSESSED!! Marcello did amazing and went above and beyond. I love my new hair. Also, shout out to Natalie and Justine for helping out also! Everyone at SASS is amazing!!
If I could, I would write a novel about how truly amazing Madison Gavin is! But alas, we don’t have time for that. Before Madison, I had never known what quality hair care/treatment/products meant. She took my poor lost soul and absolutely transformed me. All stylist take a bare minimum class to get their license,…
I absolutely loved SASS, and Rachel did a FANTASTIC job on my hair! Everyone was so nice and welcoming and Rachel (who was referred to me by a friend) gave me wonderful, professional advice and care. I will definitely be going back to see Rachel and the other stylists!
I always have the best experiences with Marcie! She does such a great job and when I can’t make up my mind on what I want she comes up with great ideas. Super friendly and professional!
10/10 recommend Tessa for a facial!! The best one I’ve ever had. My skin has never looked so good. She’s such a sweetheart too. All around an amazing experience
My family has been with Sophia for over 3 years. She is an expert in color!! Her staff is amazing and so much FUN! They make you feel like family when you walk in the door! I LOVE THIS PLACE!!
Sophia is absolutely AMAZING. I can somewhat of a unique hair situation, she is transparent, kind, and considerate. Not only is she an amazing stylist, she’s so easy to talk to. I cannot get over how amazing my hair looks and how great of a person she is!
Clarissa did my hair and she did a phenomenal job!! I will definitely be back, I couldn’t recommend her more:)
I set an appointment with Justine. She did so amazing on my hair!! She was super careful to do the healthiest option for my hair while still making the transformation that I wanted. She truly did a great job and I will be going to her from now on!
The absolutely kindest, most professional and talented stylist there is! I was Steph’s client for over ten years until she moved from MN and I still miss her ❤️ Our story began when I was an embarrassed 22 year old needing to cover some gray hair. She could not have been more kind and professional. And it was…
Sofia is the best hairstylist ever period. Amazing service and professionalism. You’ll love this place 🙌🏼♥️
This is my daughters salon and I’m so proud of her! This has been her dream for many years. Her passion and expertise is so impressive! You will definitely have to try this salon.
Three words: Best Balayage Ever! (and delightful company while getting it if you like)
They forgot friendship and therapy in the list of services. What can I say? I started going to Sophia back in 2011. She is beyond your typical hair stylist. She listens to what you want and she is honest. What makes Sophia stand out more than anyone I have seen before is that not only does she make you feel…
Stephanie’s balayage is absolutely the very best. I am really picky about my hair and she will forever be the only person I can totally relax with and know she will get it exactly right every time. Her cuts are amazing. I’m always so happy with how beautiful and healthy my hair is after my service.
