Not only is the atmosphere fun, quirky, and interesting, the stylists clearly know their stuff. Usually when I go in for a hair cut, anywhere, the experience is nothing to write home about. But at Lava, the decor alone is something that makes the experience fun. More importantly, my stylist talked me through exactly what she was doing and the products she was using. As someone with extremely curly hair, having a stylist who knows their stuff is CRUCIAL. And I can safely say Spencer understood how to cut my curls to avoid what all curly haired girls fear: triangle syndrome. Furthermore, she did a color to offset some two-tone issues I had from some some underlying dye from a long time ago. Again, she knew how to ensure my hair would safely come out even and one color. Plus, due to her knowledge of appropriate product, my curls stayed non-frizzy and in perfect shape while still feeling soft and silky- even through a nap! No small feat. I felt safe in her hands, and enjoyed the many screens, wall art and quirky decorations at Lava. It was an all around great experience and I left with better hair. I think anyone would walk out of Lava not only satisfied with the hair styling, but glad they chose such a fun, unique salon. And for all my fellow curled haired girls especially- be sure to ask for Spencer!

As a newcomer to salons (until recently I trimmed my own hair), Im easily spooked and not really sure how to go about even deciding what I want or whats appropriate for my curly, pouffy hair. Katie was understanding and very helpful in guiding me through the process, and she gave me a haircut I love so much that I went right home to have my husband take a bunch of new profile pictures for my websites! I feel beautiful in this haircut, and I feel like the stylist listened to me and more than exceeded my expectations. She really took the time to make sure my cut was perfect, and gave me tips on how to style it. She mentioned a few products, but there was no pressure to buy anything more than what Id budgeted for. The price on the upper end of our discretionary budget, but I went away feeling that I got amazing bang for my buck. I had considered salons charging a little less ($35 vs. the $45 I paid for a cut and style at Lava), but decided to trust the reviews and take a chance that the higher price would get me a better cut. And it paid off! I will happily pay the same for my next cut and consider it money well spent - and Im super picky about my hair. Will definitely come again.

I have gone to Lava since I moved here last year. I am the type of client that can be a stylists dream or his/her nightmare because I LOVE to change my hair; And I change it often. Lava has been great, not only because their products and services (and prices!!) are AMAZING, but also because the entire team there treats clients like family. I genuinely love walking in the door there because I have become to feel like part of their team! I primarily see Katie - shes a color wizard! - And I know that Katie will not only give me premiere customer service and a gorgeous outcome every time, but she will also be honest with me and set realistic expectations around what I want. She makes sure that my hair not only looks great, but she also maintains the health of my hair. The entire staff is wonderful, talented, happy, and helpful. From walking in the door and being greeted by the warm and welcoming Melanie, to Katies stellar service, to Spencer (one of the stylists) giving makeup tips, right down to the owners, Nole and Jeff, swinging by Katies chair to say hello. Id 100% recommend this salon to anyone looking for a hair-home in Charleston :)

I needed a salon near my new address. Everyone knows how stressful it is to go to a new hairdresser. I read the reviews and thought Id chance it since they were all so good. Wow, was I in for a surprise! Dont think Ive ever been to a salon where I felt that EVERYONE there was a true professional. You just get that vibe. My stylist is Ashley. I used to worry about the young ones, whether they had enough experience but from the first moment Ashley approached me I could tell she knew her craft. She asked me what I was after and then get this, she listened to what I said. Priceless! I asked for her professional opinion and she nailed it!! Went back for my second visit today and my hair has NEVER looked better!! Its a miracle. I dont have to look any further. Thats why this place is in the top salons in America. Thank you Ashley and Lava! With Lava Lava Love , Lisa Sumrell

I recently moved to Charleston and have been looking for a salon. First of, the name of the salon alone is pretty cool, the pics of the inside awesome as well, then the reviews speak for themselves. I tried them out this past Wednesday and went to Spencer who was highly recommended in the reviews for curly haired ladies. She was awesome. She took her time, got to know my hair, gave me tips, was very personable, and it was just a welcoming overall experience there. Im not used to this Charleston traffic yet and so ran late and they didnt make me feel like a burden at all and even had coffee waiting for me. She blew my hair out straight and it looked great and Ive worn it curly since and Im very pleased. No more triangle syndrome as us curly haired ladies suffer from as our hair grows out. Cant wait for my next appt in 6 weeks.

I just got home from the salon actually. This is my second visit, and I must say, two wonderful experiences!! I showed Ashley a picture of what I was looking for, and she preformed magic on my hair. More importantly, everyone there is so relaxed and friendly, and its a very comfortable atmosphere. You really feel like youre walking into your friends house when you go... You have the option of being chatty, or you can just sit there and read magazines. I was there long enough today where I got to do a little of both :). Ive never felt so at home in a salon before, I didnt even know you could. All of these employees have found a wonderful balance where they are all very casual, but also very professional. Lava salon has themselves another loyal customer. I will not go anywhere else!

I have salon hopped around Charleston for about a year now, and finally stumbled upon Lava Salon. I am so happy I found it! This is the best salon Ive ever been too. They catered to everything I needed and have a wonderful staff. They were all so kind and polite. I had my hair done by Devin and she did wonderful. She did exactly what I asked for and gave me good advice on how to keep my hair looking good everyday, not just when I walk out of the salon. She gave me styling tips and products tips. My hair is very damaged and a white platinum blonde, and she gave it a baby soft look that lasts! Theyve got a customer for life! Very happy!
