Having just moved to the area from NC and a very devoted stylist, I was a bit uneasy about seeking out a new salon. On a whim (and thanks to the 20% discount for my first color service), I decided to try Salon 58. I cannot BELIEVE how much salons cost in downtown Orlando, but Salon 58 was not only reasonable (about $100 for cut/color/deep conditioner treatment), but wonderful. Do not be put off by the less-than trendy interior- Ibi, the owner, knows her stuff. I have paid three times as much for this level of professional care in Chicago and New York (or rather my parents did before I went to law school and woke up to the real world)! The coloring and hair products are top-of-the-line- goldwell and pureology- and Ibi couldn't be sweeter. I was worried at first sight the salon wouldn't be able to cater to a 20-something like myself who is used to a salon with a hipper edge (fancy lighting, snobby receptionist, pink-tressed shampoo girl) but I believe I have found my new and permanent stylist in Orlando. It poured 20 minutes after I left and for the first time EVER in my life my hair didn't frizz or curl out of its styleThis woman is a saint and a genius!
