Deidre is AMAZING!!! I had gotten a haircut at another salon and was SO disappointed with how it came out. Every time I looked in the mirror it made me sad. I went to Deidre, hoping she could fix it. She listened empathetically and took the time to understand what I wanted. The haircut she gave me came out exactly the way I had hoped! I love it! If you are considering making an appointment don’t hesitate. She is a consummate professional and a wizard with the scissors.

Still loving my cut! It’s grown out beautifully. I finally feel like I have a fresh new style after 8 years of short boy cut hair. You gave me such a great cut! You’re so talented. I’ll be seeing you again soon!

I have been using Deidre’s services for a little over a year now and I love how detailed she is! From the moment you walk through her door you will feel like you are the star of the show. She listens to what you’re wanting and executes to perfection! She’s also such a warm, beautiful person who makes me feel comfortable and ok to express myself. I find myself not only looking forward to my haircuts but the chats that go with them. Highly recommend her services!

Deidre has done my hair twice now. I recommend her wholeheartedly. Everyone around me has told me how good my hair looks.

I saw Deidre for a color correction and she absolutely perfected what I wanted! I went from a gray overtoned color to a dark blonde champagne tone for fall. She took the time to make sure it was exactly what I wanted! She is also SO sweet and easy going which is so nice of you need a relaxing hair day!

I was nervous to go to someone new after my previous hair stylist moved away, but Deidre put me at ease immediately. She is truly is an expert at her craft. She did a perfect job with my cut, color, and style. She is a natural teacher, which I love because she answered so many questions for me about styling and taking care of my hair. And a bonus- she is just such a pleasure to chat with during the process. I’m so glad to have found her!

I absolutely love my hair after Dre got done with it! She takes time to explain the whole process and is so thorough with every step. I love how flexible she is with scheduling too! I’ve went to many salons but by far this will be my forever stylist!! So happy I found her!

Deidre far exceeded expectations. Went in hoping for trim/clean up but got wonderful conversation, laughs and exactly the haircut I was hoping for.

I have been to several salons since living in Tampa the last few years—This was my first time visiting Deidre and I will definitely be going back! After showing a picture she knew exactly what I wanted and executed it beautifully all while explaining the process to me along the way. She’s such a kind soul to chat with during the process as well. If you’re looking for a fun and cool vibed place to get your hair done, I would recommend!

She provided my tween daughter with a very personalized and thoughtful experience for the perfect back to school style. Dre consulted with us ahead of time to help plan her cut/style. My daughter usually feels anxious when getting her hair cut, being unsure of the outcome. Dre made her very comfortable & encouraged her feedback. The cut provided is fresh and versatile. She also blocked extra time to teach my daughter hair styling techniques and proper use of products. The end result is a confident, happy girl ready to go back to school. Highly recommend!

Deidre is the BEST person! She is extremely welcoming and always does an amazing job on my hair! She’s so good, that now I take my boyfriend to her for a haircut! We always look forward to appointments with her because it’s like visiting with a friend. I trust her with my hair and my boyfriend’s. Fairly priced and a great experience every time! I totally suggest her for EVERYONE! She is the definition of a safe place!

I came to Deidre with a bad haircut from a different stylist (my hair had been sticking straight up for weeks - just so you get the idea). Deidre added highlights and cut my hair expertly. The cut and color are perfect - not only that, but it even feels softer. Deidre gave me advice on products- spot on! Thank you, Deidre - I’m your biggest fan!

Dre is the best! When I walked in to her salon the first time, I wasn’t happy with my hair and she gave me a cut that finally suited me. She takes her time, asks questions, makes sure we’re on the same page and makes me feel special. :). I’m excited to be on this hair journey with her!

I had an awful experience at a previous salon so it had been years since I went to get my hair professionally done, I went to Deidre after being recommended the citrus park Salon Lofts. She was so kind and welcoming and not only was she efficient, but after my appointment my hair looked amazing and it felt absolutely luxurious. Every step of the way she was exceptional and careful as to not make me nervous. She sent me home with a bag of samples that could help my hair, I’m so glad I went to her I had a stellar experience.

Ive got a lot to say about Deidre, even a while later after my haircut experience.First, her website was so informative. I was immediately impressed with how well thought out and thorough her site was when booking services, so I knew pretty up front the range of pricing and exactly what kind of appointment I was signing up for. I had a lot of questions, which I actually put on the submission form itself, as well as a quick run down of my hairs condition and what I wanted, in case she thought the services needed updating to reflect my goal.The same day, I was surprised to recieve a text from Dei herself, asking me details about my hair and being so sweet enough to do a phone consulation rather than in person because I had booked for an appointment for a day or two later. She was very kind over text and made sure I was set for my appointment.Dre in person was such a refreshing experience from the usual hairdresser - the moment I stepped into her space, I felt immediately welcome, full stop. Conversation came very easily and she welcomed me to share my hair goals and how we could give me a cut Id be happy with, not to mention being very patient and willing to explain me hair science and reccomend me products at my request. She immediately made me feel like Id been a long-time client and friend even though it was my first ever appointment.Her unique background that lead her into hairdressing reflects in her being so person and experience focused, backed by a fantastic haircut in my opinion.In the end, she sent me home with a little goodie bag and an after-care card for my hair she wrote by hand, as well as a small sample of a hair mask.Her prices are fair and her schedule is rather flexible, and I cant say enough on how accomodating she is.In short, if youre looking to find a new hairdresser, come see Dre. Shes a LGBTQ+ positive, welcoming, very friendly, thoughtful, and talented bundle of light.

Super impressed with the meticulous skill of Deidre. Listened to all my concerns and answered every question. The end result was the hairstyle I wanted. The best part was finding a new friend. Can’t say enough kudos for Deidre.

Deidre was wonderful from the moment I booked my appointment. She reached out shortly for a consultation, asked for an inspo photo and a photo of my hair. I asked for layers and a face framing cut and she did a fantastic job. I had my 5 year old daughter with me and Deidre great with her.
