DRIFT UPTOWN - Blonding and Balayage Salon

Feb 03, 2025

After carefully researching for a hair stylist that specialized in colouring I found Eliza!! She was so attentive to detail and colouring my hair perfectly. We did a whole colour correction that turned out amazing. I am from out of country and have been to top salons in Toronto. She is by far the best hairstylist I have ever had. She listens to what you want and is a perfectionist at what she does. Thank you I love my colour and cut!!

I had an amazing experience at Drift Salon with Bridget! She gave me the perfect curtain bangs and made me feel so comfortable throughout the whole process. She was so sweet, took her time, and never made me feel rushed. I’ll definitely be coming back—highly recommend!

Riley is absolutely amazing! She always knows what I’m trying to achieve with my inspiration looks and gives her professional opinion. My hair has never looked so natural, healthy, and it grows out perfectly! She is so kind and sweet and takes her work seriously 🫶🏼❤️

Called to make a same day appointment (as a new client!) and they were able to get me in. Eliza was amazing, gave me the haircut of my dreams. Took the time to listen to my hair problems and figure out what I needed and wanted. Was everything I could have dreamed of! Super pleasant experience in the salon, can't wait to come back next time. Thanks Eliza!

Delaney is the best! She stays booked and busy for a reason, even though both times I've seen her she got me in the next day, first as a new client where she took me up from my dark postpartum hair to the dreamiest beach blonde, and then on a whim when I wanted to cut some bangs. Each appointment she's taken the time to listen to what I'm asking for (even though I'm never really sure) and always brings me to exactly what I was picturing. Can't say enough good things!

Bridget has cut and colored my hair! She is absolutely amazing! It’s always so fun to see her and chat. Drift is a wonderful salon!

Drift Salon is the best!!! Super clean, cute and welcoming environment!!! I see Ellie and she is amazing with coloring, cutting and styling, kills it every time and super fun to talk to! 10/10 recommend going here for all your hair needs!

If you make one good decision today, let it be making an appointment with Morgan! She is so meticulous and made sure I got exactly what I was hoping for. Drift was great!

It was my first time visiting Drift salon and the experience was 10/10. Riley knew exactly what I was looking for and created a beautiful look at the end. I booked 2 more seasons with Riley leading up to my wedding!! So excited to go back:)

The salon is very cute and clean, and Bridgette was absolutely amazing. So kind, professional and not to mention amazing at her job! Couldn’t be happier with my experience I will 100% be back!

Delaney is so professional and so sweet hilarious it seems extremely knowledgeable and cares about what her clients need and want

Had a great experience! First time visiting and my stylist was running late with her previous client. The owner stepped in to complete my haircut, wash and blow dry and provided excellent service! She was so professional and you can tell cares so much about her business and the customer service which I really appreciated. The free mimosas made everything even better. Definitely recommend.

I just recently moved to the Tampa area and had been in search of a new stylist. I came across Riley’s page and instantly fell in love with her work! At the start of the appointment she made sure we were both on the same page about what I was looking to get done and made me feel so comfortable from start to finish. She’s a sweetheart. I am so happy with how it turned out and will be back :)

I’m so happy with my hair thanks to Delaney! She really listened to what I wanted and gave me some great tips along the way. My blonde looks amazing, and I love how natural and fresh it feels.

Magic was done on my hair today, I couldn’t be happier with my decision to go to Drift Blonding and Balayage. It was my first time going to a professional, Eliza was my stylist and she was amazing! After my experience with her I won’t ever do my own hair again. All the staff is great though, the vibes and environment was top notch. I’m going to recommend this salon to everyone.

Dec 05, 2024

Riley gave me exactly what I asked for! My hair turned out even better than I imagined and I love it so much!

Riley was amazing - my hair looked even better than what I hoped for!!

Ellie is wonderful! I am 53 and have lived in LA and NYC…I’ve gone to some top notch salons in these cities and she could work in any of them. Not only is she talented with color and cut, she also listens which is so key. I also love that the salon gives you a little goodie bag with salon swag ( brush, clip, etc).

I have had blonde balayage done several times at Drift and I love it! The environment of the salon is laid back and welcoming which is such a great vibe. Kailey always listens to what I want and helps to come up with the perfect coloring that fits my hair type! I won’t go anywhere else for my hair. 💖🌊

I saw Morgan and she was AMAZING! I’m a true brunette and have never dyed my hair but was looking to do something fun and add dimension, and she did just that! She made sure to not go too heavy and make everything so well-blended. Truly do not have enough positive things to say about her. Morgan was not only skilled, but extremely kind and answered all of my questions with patience. Could not have asked for a better first color experience and would HIGHLY recommend both Morgan and Drift 🩷

It was my time visiting Drift and I needed my gray covered, my extensions tightened and some highlights to brighten up my color. Delaney was amazing, she took time to listen to my vision and created a beautiful result that was just what I asked for. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants a stylist with skill, efficiency and great listening skills. Thanks Delaney!

Morgan was fantastic! I had almost 8 inches cut off my hair and she did exactly what I had in mind, while adding her expert opinion on some of the details. The salon is so cute and the staff is good people to be around. I didn’t get any color this go-around but have friends who have and they highly recommended their salon for color as well. I will definitely be back!

Nov 05, 2024

My first experience at Drift Salon was nothing short of amazing thanks to Morgan! From the moment I walked in, she made me feel so welcomed with her bubbly personality. She took the time to understand what I was looking for but to be honest, I think she knew what I wanted even more than I did! My blonde was needing a refresh and Morgan delivered beyond expectations with some bright blonde pops that left my hair looking perfectly sunkissed. The results were better than I could have imagined! Morgan’s energy is contagious and time flew by while I was in her chair. I truly cannot wait to visit her again!

This salon is adorable and Ellie did an amazing job on my hair! I will definitely be back!

Had a fantastic experience this morning! The staff was incredibly welcoming and even surprised new customers with a thoughtful little gift. Riley was outstanding—professional, energetic, and truly skilled at her craft. It’s clear she knows exactly what she's doing. While the prices are on the higher side, the quality and expertise make it worth every penny. Highly recommend!

Bianca was great. Thanks for your service!

Drift Salon is the place to go! ✨ The atmosphere here is truly unmatched—luxurious yet incredibly comfortable, creating a space that feels like a true retreat. I had the pleasure of working with Bianca, who is as beautiful inside as she is out. She was attentive, regularly checking in with me throughout the process to ensure the cut was exactly what I wanted, which I found both thoughtful and refreshing. What truly sets Drift Salon apart, though, is its heart. 💝 The front of the salon was filled with donations for those impacted by the recent hurricane, a clear reflection of their commitment to the community. It’s easy to see why the salon is such a success when you meet Kailey, the owner. Her energy and dedication to building genuine connections with her clients and community make Drift a standout. I highly recommend Drift.

I had the pleasure of seeing Bridget for a cut and gloss. I am so satisfied with my hair, I’ll be back!!

I recently just had my hair done at drift the other day. I’ve been struggling to find a home salon that I can trust and go to anytime I want to get my hair done, or just switch up a style and I think I finally found it 😊 I knew there was something different about this salon when I went to the website to request a quote/book and someone reached out to me instantly within the same day asking about my budget and hair goals and really took the time to figure out what I wanted and gave me suggestions on who to book with Which was very reassuring. I booked a highlight and cut appointment with Riley, and now I don’t think I can go to anyone else. She really took the time to not only figure out what hair goals I was trying to achieve, but she also took the time to get to know me as a person and it really was a genuine experience. I was a bit nervous going back to lighter hair after being dark for years and she was very honest and communicative and took me step by step through the whole process . the girlhood community there is really like no other the overall environment and energy is like home. The salon was also very aesthetic and clean and beautifully decorated. If you are like me and need a salon to trust and go to, I would suggest drift above any other salon in the area

I’ve been seeing the same hairstylist for over 12 YEARS because I have severe trust issues with my hair. Recently, the hour long commute became too much for me and I wanted to find someone local. I took a chance and scheduled a haircut with Bianca, who did a PHENOMENAL job. Bianca listened to my needs and concerns, and addressed all of my hair goals during the appointment. She had a great flow going - not rushing but definitely not slow. I left with exactly what I wanted, which includes this cute blow out that I’m obsessed with 😍 I will definitely be returning next time for a balayage! 10/10

My hair experience at Drift Uptown was terrific. I recently moved from out of state and was a bit nervous about finding a new stylist. Booking my appointment was easy, and the responses were quick. Riley did my highlights, and they turned out gorgeous. I left the salon with my hair even healthier than when I walked in. The salon's design was also clean and aesthetically pleasing. If you're hesitant about trying a new place, I can guarantee you'll love it here.
