FS Cut & Color (Clearwater, FL)

I contemplated and contemplated about whether or not I should leave a review and decided I would because it may prevent someone else from getting such poor service. If I could have given 0 stars I would have. On 12/6/25 my daughter went in to this salon for a simple trim with face framing and came out with the worst haircut I have ever seen. P.S. I did call and was told I would receive a call back. That didn’t happen.

Renee is amazing! She has completely transformed the health of my hair for the better. She is the queen of vivid colors too! I’ve had so many colors (natural and fashion) and the integrity of my hair has never once been compromised. Renee takes her time and makes sure that she knows what you want and will offer suggestions. My hair has never looked better and I owe it all to Renee!!

Mars is a perfect example. Why you are not to judge a book by its cover. She is very professional, educated, naturally kindhearted. She shows understanding, empathy and compassion. Mars is the type of person. You don't say goodbye to. You say, "I'll see you later". She is the Best Hairstylist. That has cut my hair. THANK YOU MARS.

It took me a while to actually come to terms with cutting my hair as it is not something I particularly like to do. Marz, you made this process so much easier and better. You are a wonderful person inside and out. Thank you for the beautiful service you provide!

I felt welcomed and well taken care of. Thank you to Marz for making me feel so pretty after she worked her magic! 🥰 Thank you to who took care of my mom, she loved her hair too.

Fantastic Sams has been my -favorite- hair place since I was kid, and I've always had a positive experience no matter where in the country I've visited one of their salons. I've never had major issues with cuts or colors, but this particular salon was an exception.  That being said, I'm still very grateful for the kind and understanding service that the staff provided during my second visit. I had two appointments within 24 hours; the first was to get a haircut and partial balayage. The haircut was great, and I had no issues with it, but the balayage was a different story. I had showed the stylist pictures of the color I had wanted (I have darker brown hair and had wanted a subtle but still slightly noticeable cherry-chocolate/dark caramel color put in), I had told her multiple times that I wanted the color to be subtle, and I had picked out a darker color swatch for the dye color. Once the dye was set, rinsed, and dried, the color appeared a lighter and brighter color than we'd discussed, but in the salon's lighting, it didn't look crazy bright, and I figured I could roll with it. Fast forward to when I got home and took some pictures of my hair to show someone. My hair, both in natural light, and in the various warmly and coolly lit rooms in my house, appeared nearly orange, and most of my head had a very visible line of demarcation with little blending (see the first photo). So I made a second appointment the next day in hopes of getting the color corrected. I explained the situation to the staff, showed the new stylist the pictures I had shown the first stylist, and she was very understanding and happy to help. She was able to correct the color (see second picture), and fix a few of the poorly blended areas from the first job, and the salon charged nothing for the fix, which was -extremely- appreciated. I noticed after getting home though that on half of my head, the color was still not blended well and there was still a clear line of demarcation (see third picture). So, overall, my experiences were a mixed bag. $225 in services and $50 in tips later, my color still isn't quite up to par, which is disappointing. I definitely wouldn't go back here for color services, but for haircuts and friendly staff, it's not a bad choice.

Renee did an amazing job with my highlights and cut! My hair looks beautiful! Thank you so much Renee!! ❤️
