So it’s been a couple months (or six) since you have gotten your hair cut… BUT you don’t know any good salons in Tallahassee, and you’re definitely not going to trust just anyone to come near your luscious locks with a pair of scissors! Problem solved: Here is a list of the best hair salons in Tallahassee that will fit any budget and styling need from cut to color!
1. Hair On Earth
Hair On Earth seems to be a very popular place among FSU students. This salon won the Tally Award for Best Hair Salon in 2014, and it’s easy to see why. If you want to dabble in fun colors this is the place to go. The stylists here can give bold color melts or find a subtle way to give you some flair. Good news for animal lovers: Hair On Earth uses R+co products which are 100% vegetarian and not tested on animals. There is also a section on their website labeled “specials,” so be sure to check that out before stopping in!

2. Wanderlust
One quick look at their Instagram and you will automatically fall in love. From balayages to pastel locks, Wanderlust will fulfill your wildest hair dreams. The stylists here are so sweet and helpful when deciding what is best for you. This is a Redkin salon where they do dry cuts (haircuts on dry straightened hair) which has been becoming more popular- especially in big cities such as Los Angeles and New York. This kind of cut gives more precision and prevents the stylist from cutting your hair too short (which is every girl’s biggest fear). The stylists here are great with colors from pastels to bright pink dip dyes. Say Taylor Mitnick sent you for $20 off your first service!

Their Instagram features a great representation of their work as well as many flash sales! Cabellos is open until 9 p.m. Tuesdays through Mondays which is great for students with busy schedules.

With affordable haircuts starting at $40, this is a great salon that won’t break the bank! On the website there are mini video bios of all the stylists to help you choose which one is right for you. This is an Aveda salon, so you can be assured that they will be using top quality products on your hair. The hair color used here is naturally derived reducing damage, so if you want to change up your look without killing your hair, this is a great option. Dream State Salon also offers waxing, makeup, botanical hair treatments, perms, body waves, hair extensions, and relaxers. Dream State was the recipient of the 2013 Tally Award for Best Hair Salon.
