WOW!! My glamorizing session with Dean was hands down the best salon experience I've ever had!!! From our first virtual interaction, his expertise, kindness, and passion for healthy hair were very apparent. He heard me, like really heard me, regarding my concerns with previously botched highlights, and understood my vision for creating a subtle glow, while repairing a lot of damage.Now on to our actual appointment.. well let me tell you.. I was absolutely a priority from the beginning to the end!! I was extremely comfortable, and felt so spoiled by him Dean has created a beautiful, welcoming atmosphere for his clients to show up, be pampered, and walk out feeling even more FABULOUS than when we walked in!!!!Not to mention he is just a phenomenal human, with such an authentic, fun energy!!!1,000,000% yes! I have found my new colorist guru ?Services: Hairstyling

To say Dean is amazing is an understatement. He helped me turn my hair into everything I ever wanted and more. He fixed what I thought would be un-fixable! I had a bad highlight that turned my hair all sorts of different colors and Dean worked his magic to give me the most beautiful mushroom brown dimensional color I could’ve only dreamed of having! On top of him being a sweetheart, he is just so talented. I can’t say enough good things. He took his time before we got started to show me, ask my opinion, and decide on different color choices and how I wanted them to blend. He gave me his professional insight on everything I wasn’t sure of and made the process so easy and wonderful. I can’t wait to see him again! Thank you for all you do Dean <3Services: Hair straightening

Beautiful color by the amazing Dean! ❤️Dean has been doing my hair for the last 20 years plus. He is a master with color, too. He does a terrific job of hiding my gray while blending my natural color which I like. He styles my hair with perfection in cuts and styles. I get compliments on my hair on a regular basis. His salon is a peaceful, comfortable place to relax while he works his gifted skills. We have meaningful conversations. Dean is professional, caring and a kind person that I am grateful to have in my life.

I want to start by saying I am so happy for all of Mr. Downing's clients that leave 5-star reviews. I am sure he does fantastic work.I will be a fleeting memory for him. For me, he will forever be etched in my memory in a chapter of my life as someone who is unkind, unforgiving and easily angered.Hair color is not a life-threatening procedure. As a healthcare practitioner, I have seen babies being born and have seen death, so I know what life-threatening looks like.I was 10 minutes late to our scheduled appointment, I admit that. The way I was spoken to, cast aside and the look in Mr. Downing's face literally brought me to tears. I sat in my car and cried as this human could speak to and treat another human, he knows nothing about the way he did.I will not be checking to see if there is a response to this review as it doesn't matter. No family issues, no personal issues are an acceptable reason to treat someone the way I was treated today. Physical bruises fade and disappear, words are forever remembered and pierce the human soul.

I found Dean 7 yrs ago after relocating to Florida! I had been thru numerous salons and stylists in the preceding 2 yrs. (and too many years in Ohio!) trying to find someone who listens and cares and desires to please their clients!! I soon learned that his strength of expertise is color (which I did not need), but his precision with sheers and his desire for a pleased client is beyond compare! Bless his heart, he’s kept my natural ‘silver’ hair shining! I’ve never in my life (75 yrs) stayed with a ‘stylist’ for so long! Yes, he can be a ‘diva’ by some interpretations, (mea culpa darlin!) but IMO he’s earned that right!! Please! respect the man, respect his talent and devotion to his career and his lifel! If you are unwilling to accept his ‘rules for business’, which I find perfectly reasonable, then look elsewhere!

I started going to Dean for a botched color job at another salon, almost 7 years ago. Dean is an amazing colorist and great person to be around. We have had a lot of fun over the years trying various colors and he never fails to do an incredible job no matter what I show up asking for at that particular point in time. Here are some examples over time. And, most importantly, my hair is in better condition than ever! ?

Dean is great. I moved to this area in January. I had been going to the same person for 20 years, so I was very nervous. I would now be nervous going to anyone but Dean.Services: Hair coloring

Words cannot express how much I love Dean. I recently moved to the area and had visited another salon that had butchered my hair (uneven striped highlights, choppy layers, and about 5-6 inches shorter than I had wanted). I came to Dean in hopes he could fix what had been done. I instantly connected with Dean. He was so welcoming, confident he could fix the uneven highlights and even out the cut, and we had the most meaningful conversation crossing a wide range of topics. He under-promised and over-delivered in the best possible way. It was truly a wonderful experience…think salon experience meets therapy session, but in the most relaxing and organic way. When I got home, my kids and husband all agreed my hair looked 1000% better. My only regret was not coming to see Dean sooner. I had been hesitant to make an appointment because I feared he would be overbooked, but he managed to squeeze me in and I couldn’t be more thrilled. He also followed up with me after my appointment to make sure I was happy and to make a recommendation to helpmy hair grow out faster.Services: Haircut
