Been going here for many years. Have seen several stylists come and go.Started seeing Toni a little over a year ago. At first, my experience with her was good when it came to cut and color. I have been disappointed with the last two colors I had done by her. I mentioned to her twice about wanting to get all over color to better cover my grays and both times she discouraged me from doing so saying that I wouldnt like the upkeep it requires and suggested I keep getting highlights. She probably did so because highlights cost more. When I first sit in the chair she asks what I want done, after that, she is mute. I would have to ask her questions to get her to even talk. She stays quiet while the stylists around her are having conversations with their clients. For someone who works with the public you would think she would try and have a conversation with her client but that hasnt been the case. I have been a long time customer with Stella Nova but will not be returning. Very disappointed!

Karen cut and styled my hair very professionally, and did so while creating a fun and relaxing atmosphere. My hair looks exactly like the reference photo I brought in. The products she used were high quality, her chair was neat and clean, and the style I was given made me feel beautiful. Please visit Stella Novas West Ashley location and get your hair done by this senior level stylist. I couldnt be happier with her work.

I’m Turing 60 and wanted a new look. Luanne is amazing! The color and cut is perfect for me. The place is beautiful, upbeat, clean and just an all around great place to be pampered. Thank you!

Absolutely love coming to get my hair done with Ciera. I have very fine and thin hair which can make it difficult to work with. She has been able to take my hair from severely dry and damaged to healthy again while teaching me along the way what my hair needs. This last visit, I made a mix up of my appointment day and she went out of her way to make sure I was still able to get my hair done even if that meant working with another stylist. I left thrilled and happy all the same! Just goes to show how talented ALL their stylists are and how much they care.

My hairdresser was Ciera and I highly recommend her. She did an amazing job on my hair. She is very talented and I will be back. If you are looking for a hairs salon come here and see her.

Ciera is the best! She took really great care of my hair and put a lot of work and time into it which I haven’t gotten at a lot of places. My hair came out absolutely gorgeous and I would recommend her for anyone!

I had won a gift certificate from one of the local radio stations so I was treating my daughter who will be starting her second year of law school to a special treat. We walked in and fell in love with it however as we were sitting there my mind quickly changed. I was sitting in a chair in the room to watch her get her hair cut and the hairdresser with short red hair said, I need you to move- I need this chair. she was so rude. She did not ask me to move, she told me. There were other chairs close by she could have used. Once my daughter was done I was asking about possibly getting some low lights. Abigail the hairdresser that did my daughters hair, asked the girl with short red hair what she thought would be a good suggestion. The girl said a nice gloss since it would last 6 to 8 months. I said wow really 6-8 months that is a long time for a treatment I will definitely come back to have it done. I proceeded to the front to make the appointment the receptionist said no it only last 6-8 weeks and I must have heard her incorrectly. I explain no she said it twice. Abigail even stated that she heard her as well. So not only was this other hairdresser really rude, she seemed to be almost making a joke of us. When someone is willing to spend their hard earned money on a nicer salon we expect to be treated with the same respect as someone who is a regular client. I will not be back to that salon again.

Taylor did my haircut today. She did a fantastic job! She is personable and knowledgable. I talked to her about what Id like done to my hair next time as far as color/highlights and she made excellent recommendation/suggestion based on what would look best on me. This makes her an excellent stylist in my book that I booked her for my next session.In addition, the salon is clean, hip and most importantly they adhere to the safety precaution as required due to COVID. My experience at this salon and with Taylor was excellent and I highly recommend them.

So happy with my new stylist, Ciera Wages, at Stella Nova! I moved here from FL 2 weeks before Covid shut everything down. Then out of caution with the virus, I waited until September to begin the search for a new hair stylist. Out of sheer prayer and good fortune I found Stella Nova, West Ashley. I made an appointment with Ciera and received a great hair cut. She talked about what I wanted and really listened. She asked questions throughout the cut to make sure she was giving me what I had asked for. She genuinely wants to work with her clients to get the look they want. I’ve now had a 2nd cut and I continue to be thrilled with the cut, the service and the salon. Stella Nova has made modifications throughout the salon that made me feel safe.

Ive been going for years, to Luanne. The staff is exceptionally friendly, the salon is clean, snd i LOVE Luanne. She gave me my pixie, and I wasnt even scared. She is the best stylist Ive ever been to, and over the years, we have done all the things to my hair, even my short stint with platinum. Would recommend highly to anyone who loves a great cut, color, and a great experience.

Krista gave me a wonderful cut and style. I hadnt been to a salon in over 2 years because I have thinning hair and didnt feel comfortable in a salon. Krista made me feel at ease and was very sensitiveto my problem. My new style has given my self confidence a boost.

Go see Toni 2. She does an amazing job on both my cut and color. I was looking for a hairstylist for 3 years before I found her. Her services are a very good price. The management of this company does a great job of making customers happy as well. I highly recommend this place.

Had a wonderful experience at Stella Nova when I recently visited for my first full set of lash extensions. This being my first time having my lashes done I was unsure of what to expect but the lash technician made such a comfortable, relaxing and enjoyable environment for me. I highly recommend Stella Nova for all your Lash Extension needs!

Review №18

I have had two really great experiences here. The first was to fix some grown out highlights and the second to get my hair highlighted again before my engagement photos. Both visits were done in good time and I ended up with my hair looking lovely. The atmosphere is bright and lively and they offer an assortments of tea and coffee for their guests. There is also a great selection of hair styling products and make-up to peruse. My favorite part was that my stylist was great about working with my wavy/curly hair texture and helping me learn how to enhance it rather than just blowing my hair straight. I believe I have found my new salon.

First time here. Was a walk in appointment. Very pleased with the expert consultation time i received before the service. Karen is a knowledgeable professional and made recommendations and offered alternatives and variations. I was not rushed and given a great new cut and style. I am looking forward to my next visit. The front desk was pleasant and polite. The salon was clean and quiet.

I have been going to Stella Nova for more years than I can remember and I always receive a wonderful and professional service by a very friendly staff and I am never disappointed. I love their wide range of products and I especially like that they carry the Barrelli Barber product line, it’s my absolute favorite men’s line. Over the years I have seen so many amazing people I could not imagine going anywhere else!

Meghan is great.I am adding to my review because I have been coming here regularly for several months now. I have seen Meghan every time and have come to just love her. She consults me with my hair, always gives me a gorgeous cut and I always get a great color treatment and I have took her through it! I have went from brown to a beautiful blonde to red on my journey in just a few months. She has done an excellent job and the staff is always courteous. I have had nothing but good experiences at Stella Nova West Ashley!

I recently just moved to Charleston and Im super picky about getting my haircut. Ive seen several stylists throughout my years and by far Taylor at West Ashley is my absolute favorite. I was really nervous before the appointment, but Taylor was so warm and welcoming and made me feel like I was one of her close friends. Not to mention this is the best cut that Ive ever had. I already have my next appointment booked. Thank you for such great service!

I recently had an appointment with Johnna for a cut and balayage color. I dont usually color my hair so I was stepping outside the box. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY HAIR! Johnna did an amazing job and she made me feel extremely comfortable while I was getting it done. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she did it exactly like it! I have been going to Stella Nova for about 4 years now and it has always been amazing. I have had so many compliments on my hair since I have had it colored. I feel like I can always trust their stylists and they are very honest about what will look good for each individual. This is definitely the top Salon in the Charleston area and I will continue to get my hair cut and colored here as long as I am living in this area! Thanks again Stella Nova

Kathryn has been my esthetician for at least 10 years and she is wonderful! I have sensitive skin and she is the first to listen to my needs.I was so relieved that even though she moved she still comes back once a month. I don’t know what I would do without her! ❤️

I love Stella Nova! Kathryn has been my esthetician for years and she is the absolute best. When I have had facials from other spas, I’m always disappointed because no one compares to Kathryn. She is so thorough and the whole experience is amazing.

Another wonderful experience at Stella Nova :)It is a real treat for me to have my hair done as I do find it hard financially to go as much as I would like but as always it was well worth it. I came out feeling great :)Larissa is always upbeat and such fun, listens to what I want and discusses my options, which to me is paramount in a hair stylist and that in turn makes me feel relaxed and confident in her ability.Awesome as always from entering the salon to the end result, thank you guys!

I go to Stella Nova for facials and eyebrows with Kathryn McGraw. Ive been going there for over ten years and love every visit. I always know my eyebrows will be on point. Although I recently moved out of state, I still keep in touch with Kathryn because when I do visit Charleston I want my eyebrows done right!

Review №42

Casey at the Mt. Pleasant location did wonders with my hair. I always walked out of the salon with bright highlights and a fresh cut that I loved. However, the male who works at the front desk is so incredibly rude. His condescending attitude-- in person and on the phone-- always left me with a negative feeling about the salon. I just called to schedule my next appointment and am so fed up with him that I am deciding to move on-- even if it means leaving my best hair behind. For those of you who dont mind the ugly attitude from reception, then Casey is well worth it.

I have been going to Kalena at Stella Nova in West Ashley for several years. She has done an excellent job of getting my hair back into a condition that it has not been in many years. From my first consultation with her, she has guided me to a great style and most of all hair that is vibrant, healthy and becoming to me. Her personal, friendly and professional relationship she has with me makes me look forward to our time together.Thanks, Kalena!!!!!

First let me say I have been a patron of Stella Nova for years. I booked an appointment with a professional hairdresser, as there are tiers of stylist available. My hair was completely botched. A beauty school drop no doubt.I will never step foot in there again. Completely unsatisfied and spreading the word that this salon is misrepresenting their true level stylist

Lol. Was asked if I was ready for a big girl haircut?. My hair is blond and was down to my lower back. Supposedly, the master stylist was whom I had my appointment with, terrible experience. She cut over 16 inches off, and then laughed and said, youll be ok, trust me.

Ive never actually liked my hair until I started coming to Stella Nova. Ive been a customer since 2010 and been with 3 different stylists at Stella Nova. Kalena is by far the best stylist Ive ever had, and explained that my hair had been cut wrong for years. She understands exactly what I need, and now I LOVE my hair. :)

Arrived 15 min early for my appt to be told that the eye brow waxer was running 10 minutes late and she had one client ahead of me, that’s fine it happens. The one client ahead of me arrived late and was still taken back before me. I was not seen until 30 minutes after my original appointment time. Seems more like waiting at a doctor’s office than a spa....

I came to Stella Nova for a full body massage. This was my first time at this salon, but I have gotten many massages before. This was BY FAR the worst massage experience I have ever had. Any other salon I have been to, there was a changing room with robes to change into, but here you just change in the room. Not a big deal though, so I just went with it. Unfortunately, it was all downhill from there. The masseuse changed the fan from high to low to high to low to fit her comfort level, and let me just say, that was a loud fan. There was not a heated blanket on the massage table, so i was FREEZING when she decided she wanted the fan on high. I could also hear talking in the hallway. Instead of a slow, calming massage, she was rushing through it and going so fast that I was not calmed at all, just mad. Then at the end i got to put my clothes back onto my oily body. No shower to rinse off? WHAT?? And then to top it all off, someone had already put away the pitcher of water so there was no water to drink after. Um, isnt water after a massage a must? Oh wait, I almost forgot, she decided to cut the massage 10 minutes short. By the way, this cost me $88 plus tip. PLEASE save yourself the time and money, and GO SOMEWHERE ELSE

Review №64

Went in for a full back massage. I wasnt asked when I booked the appointment if I would prefer a male or female. I came into the salon finding out I would be massaged by a man. I didnt really care for that. The gentlemen was clearly sick and had to leave the room to clean his nose because he was continuously sneezing. Every place I went to for a full body massage was head to toe, this was not. When I checked out I wasnt asked how my experience was so I just figured I would post it on here and not return.
