Lisa is to be trusted with your hair. I am not one to spend a lot of time on my hair but she made it fun and easy. When I started seeing her I had very long purple hair, which before a corporate interview she took to my natural brunette and chopped off 8 inches. We then turned around a few months later to start the journey to platinum. And I mean journey! so Much time and effort went into getting the hair of my dreams, there were nights we shut down the salon, I’m talking 7+ hour appointments, and she never made me feel rushed and was always positive. Conversation was easy as she always remembered the details of my life. I was platinum with Lisa for two years before making the decision to move away and enter into a new chapter of life - motherhood - and since I was worried about the upkeep the platinum require, Lisa looked into lots of options that would work for me and we settled on a really sexy lived in blonde before my move date. TL;DR - Lisa cares about your hair as much as you do!

This review is long overdue. I have been seeing Lisa for my hair for years but there was a break for a while when she moved to Florida again and I hadn't yet realized she was coming back to NYC every so often. Now that I know, I will never go anywhere else again. I will go to Lisa wherever she goes (well, traveling NY to FL was a little tough) but you get the picture. She is a hair magician. I have hair I'd consider "meh" but I always feel like a goddess after I have my hair colored and cut by Lisa, and I don't know how she does it. She's also a gem of a person - truly sweet and extremely interesting and fun to talk to. I tried some other salons in NYC and just never found a person who was as lovely and as talented as Lisa. If you live in Jacksonville and you are not going to Rose Darling, I ask you - why not?! You are wasting your time because eventually if you do go there, you will just be full of regret you didn't go sooner. Trust Lisa, she's the best!

Came in for a quick trim as I couldn't get into my usual stylist at a different salon before I went on vacation. After sitting in Christian's chair for 5 minutes, I already knew that this was going to be my new permanent salon. Even though I came in just to get my dead ends cut off, I showed Christian a picture of a haircut I wanted to get in the future after I grow my hair out a bit more and he told me exactly what he was going to do for my trim to get my hair looking healthier now, but what he was going to do for my hair to prep it for the haircut I want in the future. Most other salons I've been to wouldn't care about your future haircut, just what you want done that day. Christian is extremely knowledgable and it truly a hair artist. I can't wait to come back and sit in his chair again for more haircuts and color appointments. 20/10 recommend coming here.

This is seriously the best haircut I’ve ever gotten! I wanted a drastic departure from how I usually do my hair, but Lisa picked up what I was vaguely putting out there and gave me an amazing take on the hair I wanted that fits my lifestyle. This appointment was such a relaxed, comfortable, personable experience, and San Marco is so astoundingly lucky to have this gem of a spot with such talented stylists. Thanks for the do, and cannot wait to catch up again in a few months. Update: I’m still coming to Rose Darling, and every haircut is the best haircut I’ve ever gotten! It’s been a lot of fun trying out new shorter haircuts every six weeks. Plus, if you need to charge a device (like I did today), they have all the bases covered. If you’re on the fence, hop off and book an appointment!

100% the kind of salon that becomes a home base for hair care permanently. The staff is very focused on making sure all questions get answered, that they can always fit you in, and that they stay on the same page with what a person is asking for. Coloring can be an expensive and time consuming endeavor for the long-haul. I wouldn't spend money on it if I wasn't sure it was being carried out at its highest level. By far the best salon in Jacksonville I've experienced, and I've been to several. These are the kind of stylists and colorists a person follows for a lifetime. Highly recommend both to those who don't know what they want, and for those who are very sure of it. You're in good hands.

Rose Darling salon has a gleaming and serene vibe. The aesthetics are simple and welcoming, I adored it. During my color consultation, Natalie helped me decide what color/tones would work best with my skin and natural hair color, as I was flexible and open to suggestions. She has great attention to detail and was very present and focused on achieving the perfect look for me. I had partial foils and a cut done and am very pleased with the result. Lisa & Christian were extremely supportive and patient in guiding Natalie throughout my hair transformation process. I look and feel like a new woman! I look forward to seeing her again!

Chris and Lisa have created the most beautiful, inclusive salon. The moment you walk in, you are greeted with smiles and a cool beverage. The salon is filled with laughter, and you can immediately tell the stylists are treated well and enjoy their jobs. Not only is the environment fabulous with details like trendy decor and comfortable chairs, but each stylist is so talented as well. I implicitly trust Lisa with my cut and color and she has never failed me. She is able to serve up looks from trendy to timeless. Rose Darling is a MAJOR gem in the San Marco community.

I had the pleasure of getting my hair done by Lisa Lindey, co-owner of Rose Darling Salon, last week. To say that I'm happy with the results is a drastic understatement. She completely transformed my blonde highlights (that I've been getting via foil the past 22 years) to a more natural-looking, multi-dimensional blonde. I've already received compliments by four different people and it hasn't even been a full week! If you are looking for a new hairstylist DO NOT HESITATE to try out Lisa at Rose Darling. You will not be disappointed.

10/10 best salon experience I have had in a minute. I have known Darien for a while and this being the first time back in her chair in 2 years was absolutely amazing ! She understood my concerns about the integrity and knew exactly what I wanted and executed it perfectly ! I walked out that day for the first time in a while completely happy with my hair and I felt like a human again. The vibe in the salon was fantastic being able to socialize with everybody was amazing. Wish I could go there everyday

Lisa’s cut and colored my hair for the last year and I can’t recommend her enough. As someone who is very conscious of hair health, she’s mindful about technique (especially if you’re going to be going lighter) and explains your options to you clearly so you can decide how you want to proceed (surprisingly not as common amongst stylists as you’d think!). I am super picky about who I get my hair bleached by and Lisa is definitely a pro.

I’m usually someone who feels super uncomfortable going to salons, but it turns out that they weren’t kidding about the good vibes! Everyone was super friendly and welcoming and for the first time I enjoyed myself rather than being nervous. Lisa is super talented and knowledgeable and was able to help me navigate to find the exact hairstyle I wanted. I would highly recommend that anyone who’s unsure try them out, you won’t regret it!

Natalie was AMAZING! She did exactly what I wanted when I asked for a red balayage. She educated me on everything I needed to do to maintain it and it keep it vibrant. She also gave me so much advice to care and style my curls. If you need a curly hair stylist then Natalie is your girl. She has the best tips for caring for colored curly hair and I feel I can trust her with anything we want to try without breaking my curl pattern.

Lisa is hands down, the best stylist and colorist I have been to! Lisa and Chris have truly created such a wonderful salon in Jacksonville. Prior to Rose Darling, I had been trying to achieve a balayage that required less maintenance, without any luck. After just two visits, Lisa was able to curate a style/ color on my hair that still looked amazing even 10+ weeks after. I always look forward to my visit to Rose Darling!

Lisa is an absolute dream. Amazing knowledge about color (especially blondes) and really takes the time to get to know you and what you want. I’m terrible about knowing the correct terminology I should be using to describe what I’m looking for and she was always able to understand it perfectly and execute. Also not to be discounted is how enjoyable she is to spend time with. Can’t recommend her enough!

Lisa is hands down the best hairstylist I’ve ever been to! I’ve been getting my haircut and color with Lisa going on 6 years now and there’s no one else I trust more with my hair. She’s truly a skilled stylist. No matter what I’ve asked for over the years, she’s consistently given me amazing haircuts. I know when I come to see her, I’ll walk away with a great conversation and healthy, beautiful hair.

If you need a salon, go here! I am not playing. It's beautiful and relaxing and the people are so nice! I am so, so happy with my hair cut. Christian did it. He listened to what I wanted and took time to consult with me. I didn't feel rushed or anxious, which has been my experience with some other salons. This will definitely be my permanent place. Seriously, my hair turned out amazing.

I love this salon!! Lisa always does an amazing job on my hair! Lisa and her husband are the owners of Rose Darling and I have been coming here for over a year now. I wanted to find some who could do a pixie hair style and Lisa is the one! She is also a great listener if you are like me who talks and talks, haha. If you needs to get some awesome hair styling done, GO HERE!!

The salon is very clean, spacious, and super cute. Natalie attentively listened to all my hair concerns and preferences. She gave suggestions on styles based on what I shared. And that hair wash, wow, so relaxing, one of best scalp scrubs ever! I left feeling very pretty and my husband, who bless his heart can't always tell what I've had done, complemented my new hair cut.

I can’t say enough about Natalie and the attention she showed for me and my hair. I’ve had curly hair my whole life and I’m always afraid when trying out new hair dressers. I also really enjoyed the feng shui that Rose Darling has going on inside the salon and their hair washing chairs are so comfy! Thank you for relaxing scalp massage and rocking haircut Natalie!

Had my second appointment with Christian today, and it was even better than the first. Left feeling like my hair looked terrific, which is exactly how you want to feel when you leave your hairdresser. Am moving about 40 minutes away from Jax, but will definitely continue to make the trip to Christian and Rose Darling salon. Would give more than 5 stars if I could.

Lisa is AMAZING!!!! If you're a blonde, you NEED Lisa!!! I'm new to the area and I'm so excited to have Lisa as my new stylist. I do all-over platinum/bleach blonde color and she did a perfect job matching my roots, without having me leave the salon with white or purple hair. A true professional, highly recommend!! I'd give her 10 stars if I could!

I was ready for a real cut and style and was tired of the same old haircut and color. Christian came recommended highly so I decided to call and make an appointment. Let me just say when I left there today it was the best color and cut I have ever had. I will be going to see him as long as he’s in business which I hope is a long, long time.

I've been working with Lisa from Rose Darling for several years now when she's in New York City (where I live). There's not a day that goes by where I don't get a compliment on my color! Lisa had been giving me platinum for years and it's a whole MOOD. She's an expert at color--I 100%trust her with my hair and that's a big deal for me!

Having just moved from NY, I was nervous about finding a new colorist/stylist. Lisa was a true professional. From booking to blow dry, every aspect of her services said “I know what I’m doing!” I will be coming back for years - she is that talented!! I did a consult, root touch up, highlights and cut. I could not be happier!! FL>NY!!!

Lisa is so knowledgable and I trust her 100% with my hair. I don’t live in the same town as her but I only let her cut my hair when she visits or when I make a trip out to see her! Very knowledgable and great eyes for knowing what fits me well according to what type of haircut I would like. Really really rad hairstylist!

Lisa has been doing my hair for almost 5 years and would follow her to the ends of the earth! She recently took me from redhead to blonde and now a beautiful dimensional brunette. Her care and knowledge helped my hair stay healthy, strong, and shiny through all of this. She also shares A+ possum TikToks ❤️

The salon is super clean and nicely decorated. I got balayage done here with Lisa and absolutely love my hair. She was super thoughtful with helping me decide what to do with my hair, friendly, and easy to talk to. I’ve gotten so many compliments on my hair since and definitely will be back for a cut!

Darien was amazing! She gave me a perfect cut and blowout. She shared some great tips and product recommendations to keep my hair healthy. The salon is clean and had great vibes! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a fairly priced, professional service. Thanks again Darien!

I love this salon! It's so clean and welcoming. Lisa is amazing!! I trust her with my hair, especially with coloring it. Lisa and Christian are such kind people. They both have mature experience in the hair beauty industry. Jacksonville is so blessed to have them here in our community!

Do NOT go here, it smells DISGUSTING when you walk in like moldy water EW. The chairs look like they came from a used thrift store. They have no idea what they are doing in terms of cutting hair. I’m pretty sure they both smoke cigarettes because the store smelled like stale smoke too.

I couldn't be more satisfied! I gave Natalie a color sample and style of what I was going for and she immediately knew how to execute it, it's like she read my mind! it came out so precise, even better than my previous attempt with other hairstyles. Gave me a lustrous glow. Thank you!

I am new to Rose Darling Salon and I was nervous to get a cut. Darien totally put me at ease. She talked me through her process and made me feel heard and understood. The cut looks better than I imagined a total showstopper! I highly recommend Rose Darling Salon. Thanks Darien ❤️

I am just so happy I have found this location. I love my haircut, and I am very thankful for their patience and understanding when I wasn't even sure how to explain what I wanted my hair to look like. I can't wait to go back. Just make sure you go a little early to find parking.

I've been following Christian from salon to salon for the last 13 years. He is the ultimate master of his craft. Each haircut and/or balayage highlight is better than the next. RUN to this salon and book an appointment with Christian immediately. You can thank me later.

I had the most amazing experience at Rose Darling Salon! Christian was cutting my hair, and did a PERFECT job, actually it was more than perfect, better than I can imagine! The salon aesthetic was so beautiful and the vibes were awesome. Definitely will be coming back.

I’ve been going to Christian at Rose Darling for a little over a year now. He is so thorough, the first person I’ve ever seen that took time to truly talk through the process and the goal. He does such a fantastic job (in a fun atmosphere.) I highly, highly recommend!

Christian is an absolute miracle worker! This is the first time I’ve ever gone to a salon and left with EXACTLY what I wanted. You can tell he knows what he’s doing and has a passion for it! The salon itself is very cute and everyone working was very friendly also!

Lisa is the best of the best. I refuse to get my haircut by anyone that’s not her. She always gives me exactly what I want. She helped me make the switch from long to short hair and every time I see her I want to go shorter. Jacksonville is lucky to have her!!

I had the most amazing experience today at Rose Darling! Lisa listened to what I wanted, gave me options, & the outcome is beyond amazing!!! Went from dark brunette to a violet/burgundy color! I’m definitely going to be back! Couldn’t be happier!

I'm so excited to have a salon like this in Jax! Lisa listened to my requests and now my hair is the perfect shade of blonde and it looks so healthy. I've received so many compliments. I definitely recommend seeing Lisa (or Christian)!

I am so glad I met Lisa and Chris! They are genuine, passionate people who are a great addition to Jax. Lisa cut and styled my hair and I loved the whole experience. She was professional and personable. I look forward to my next visit!

Darien at Rose Darling helped me get my bangs back and she did such a good job! I also loved that during my consultation she asked about my normal styling practices at home so she could tailor my cut to appropriately to my lifestyle.

I love this salon. Lisa did an amazing job with my Lived In Color. I was nervous about coloring my hair again after 2 years, but Lisa made me so happy with my decision! The results are beautiful and I will definitely be back again.

I love my lived in blonde look. Lisa did such a great job that I didn't have to redo my hair for a long time. I'm glad to get my hair done just before my Berlin marathon trip! For cut and color Lisa is my go to stylist.

I loved going to Rose Darling for my hair!! WOW! I have never been happier with my hair thanks to Lisa and Darien. I left feeling so happy and confident. They were so kind and welcoming too! Overall great experience!

I’ve gone to Lisa for years for single process color and haircuts - she always nails it on the color and delivers just what is envisioned for the cut. Would recommend to anyone looking for a new go-to stylist!

10/10 for this salon! I’ve been once and I’ll continue coming back. The vibe was so relaxed and they sat down and spent time with me really figuring out what I wanted with my hair. I loved the experience!

Just moved to San Marco and was looking for a new salon and I couldn’t be more pleased. Darien did such a nice job cutting and styling my hair. Felt very taken care of and was overall a great experience!

Lisa is Amazing! She really brought my boring locks to life with a lived-in color look. This is the low maintenence that I need with my schedule. Thank you Lisa for bringing my hair back to life!

This is my new salon!!!! Absolutely loved getting a new hairstyle by Christian. The salon is minimalist with a cozy feel and the owners are awesome. They definitely know how to work with hair.

What a find! Lisa gave me a great pixie cut on my first visit last month. She and Christian have a welcoming and professional salon right in San Marco. I look forward to becoming a regular.

Lisa is a wonderful stylist. I have been going to her for years to cut my curly hair. It always turns out beautifully and she shows you techniques to style it on your own!

Just moved to the area and needed a new hairstylist. Lisa did a great job cutting my hair and refreshing my hair style. Her salon is also so cute and in a great area!

Christian has been cutting my hair for many years and is the best! He is an expert on giving my fine hair a style with plenty of bounce and body. Forever client here!

Lisa is fun, kind and accommodating, and my blonde full highlight job looked fab for MONTHS! Grateful to have found someone consistent to take care of my hair :)

Lisa is amazing! She's done my layered haircut for years and does THE best lived in color in Jacksonville. Highly recommended for natural brunette balayage.

I have curly hair so I’m always nervous going to a new salon, but Lisa was so friendly and informative and gave me an amazing haircut! Definitely recommend.

Always a great cut and conversation! They take time to consider different styles and techniques which I really appreciate. My hair is a work in progress.

This place stinks they are snobs and my hair is falling out because they burned if up with the chemical's she used. My hair is orange not blonde

One of the coolest salons with the best atmosphere ! Beautiful, laid back environment with a lot of talented stylist. Love it here!!!!

Lisa always knows exactly what to do with my thick unruly hair! I leave feeling fresh and well taken care of. Thank you!

I had an amazing experience. The ladies were very friendly. I walked out feeling like a new person. I love my hair now!

Took me years to finally find my hair salon in Jacksonville, so glad to have found them. Darien is a miracle worker :)

Lisa is great! Really works with you on achieving your hair goals. Space is lovely & would definitely recommend ♥️

Went in with my roots grown out & had some tint from January still in, I wanted to go copper & Lisa did amazing! ✨
