Beautiful salon and Jameel is my absolute fav! Would recommend him to any and everyone, he is the best!! 💕💕💕

It was my first time with Heather and I am very pleased with the results. I just got a roots retouch because that was what I needed the most, but I’m going back in two weeks to get my highlights done. 😍 Beautiful Customer Service, gorgeous facility which it’s very important for me because it makes me feel Important. Heather is very sweet and professional, and she made sure that I explained to her exactly what I wanted. She seems very knowledgeable and I can’t wait to go back for my highlights. Also, at Gaboa Salon they have a very friendly staff. This place is located in the heart of downtown Clearwater and I feel like it’s a hidden gem. So I would recommend this place to whoever wants to feel like a queen!! 👸 Thank you, Heather and all who work hard at this place! 🤩

This salon is a hidden gem. Everyone is super friendly and welcoming. Autumn did an amazing job on my color and Olivia worked wonders on my brows. I also really appreciated the guidance I received because sometimes I don't know what always suites me. Can't wait to go back.

Heather!!! You saved my sanity and my hair. I've been coloring my hair since I was 15, 60 now. Several times I'd have it professionally colored and felt like I was wasting my money, because it wasn't better then when I did my own hair, until I met Heather. I had just gotten through 2 hurricanes, flooded house and was beyond stressed and exhausted. I was in desperate need of coloring my hair, but absolutely did not feel like doing it myself. I called Salon Gaboa and they told me to come in for an afternoon appointment with Heather. Was I nervous, yesss!!! I walked in and was warmly greeted by Heather and her lovely smile. Heather was exactly what I needed, she was kind, patient, great listeners as to what I wanted in my hair color and she was confident. She just had this way about her, that completely put me at ease. Heather gave me the best color I've ever had!!! It was perfect!!! I now feel like it's worth having my hair professionally colored. I will definitely be having Heather color my from now on. I've also been cutting my own hair for 5 years and maybe I'll let Heather cut my hair too. Baby steps!! Thank you Heather for making my hair look amazing, during an extremely stress time in my life. Your kind and confident personality, immediately made me feel like I was in great hands!!!

I had an amazing experience getting my hair cut and beard trimmed by Jameel at the salon. The atmosphere was clean, bright, and friendly. Jameel was a craftsman the way he listened to what I desired and worked to make my vision become a reality. He was fun and energetic while he cut my hair and trimmed my beard. I would highly recommend this salon. Thank you so much for the great experience! Thank you for helping me donate to childrenwithhairloss.org

Autumn did an outstanding job with coloring my hair and cutting my daughters. We will always drive over an hour just for her to do our hair!!


Sep 05, 2024

Carly was AMAZING! First time having my hair done in 2+ years and I’ve never been happier! My hair is still super healthy!! She’s extremely personal and such a fun spirit! She added in some of her personal creativity and I loved it!! She is beyond good at what she does! I felt so welcomed throughout the whole salon! Truly an amazing community there!! Can not wait to go back!!


Aug 05, 2024

Autumn was fabulous! Her enthusiasm for working with her clients was truly special. Her genuine excitement about how she could help me was very uncommon. I was way past due for a cut and color and because of had to do my own a few times, she had some fixing to do too lol. I was super happy with the experience. I found my girl!


Aug 05, 2024

Friendly teamworks and the hair stylist did an amazing job. Did extra hand massage and went beyond to cut my hair with unique style. Completely transformed. Thank you for having me!


Aug 05, 2024

If you are looking for a blonde specialist, Autumn is your girl!! She is extremely talented and knows how to keep your blonde looking natural and healthy! I can’t recommend her enough! 🙏🏼


Aug 05, 2024

My favorite hooked me up with a good hair cut


Jul 05, 2024

Autumn was the best! So gentle and ask the best questions before doing my hair! The environment was so comfortable and so welcoming!

Peyton does a good job with my hair. This place is very warm and goes the extra mile with service. I will continue going here.


May 05, 2024

Autumn is phenomenal!!! I absolutely loved the salon and the ladies are amazing! Sarah’s energy was so much fun! Olivia does amazing facials and I also got my eyebrows tinted and I’m in love!!! Absolutely obsessed with this salon and will be recommending them to everyone!!! I’ll be back! 10/10 hands down!


May 05, 2024

I did a very poor job of explaining what I was looking for in a style. My hair can be straight or curly, depending on how it is cut and styled. Cassie understood better than I could explain, and my hairstyle turned out perfectly. I was also getting a lot of hair trimmed off and thought she could go shorter and thank goodness she did not. As it dried, it shrunk up about three more inches, because the curls were shrinking the length as my hair dried. Thank you so much! N

I am visiting from the Boston area and really needed a haircut. All the staff was so friendly and kind. Sarah took me in and made my hair look amazing!!! I have layers and curtain bangs, but never know how to express exactly what I want, and she did a fantastic job asking the right questions to understand/help decide what kind of curtain bangs and what I wanted out of the layers. I love her hair cutting technique that makes the ends look more natural and tapered instead of blunt chopped edges at the end. She also blow dried it so perfectly (usually after hair cuts I go and redo my own hair because I don’t like how flat they make it — she gave me volume, shine, slight beachy waves and bounce) One of the best haircuts of my life. I cannot say enough good things!


Apr 05, 2024

I called them in desperation to have my hair colored prior to an unexpected funeral. The Salon was so accommodating and so helpful! Autumn cut colored and highlighted my hair. She was fantastic and the office manager was incredibly professional and Sweet I would highly recommend the salon.


Apr 05, 2024

Jackie gave me a deep cleaning and a hydrating facial. Also, a hand and neck massage. Everything was fantastic. She was terrific i left with my skin flowing and very relaxed . I can't wait to go back


Apr 05, 2024

Jameel has done wonders for my hair. His expert cut, color and treatments have finally tamed my wild, curly hair 😀


Apr 05, 2024

Payton is awesome and very meticulous this is an outstanding salon everyone is very nice


Apr 05, 2024

Thank you SO much to a VERY talented Jameel, who at just 24 years young, just gets it! He did an amazing job on my hair! I've never had my haircut to actually feel LONGER than when I went in!! 1st time to this salon and I'll surely be back again! Jessica at the front desk is an absolute sweetheart too! Thank you again! 💇🏽‍♀️


Mar 05, 2024

I love Sarah. She's the best. She always does what's best for my hair. She tells me if my hair can handle it or if it's not a good idea, she suggests alternatives and is super helpful. Everyone is nice, but she's my girl.


Feb 05, 2024

Lisa was awesome. My hair was a birds nest completely out of control and Lisa did everything I asked and two weeks later it still looks amazing. Thank you!


Feb 05, 2024

So glad I found this place! Everyone is friendly and professional. Alex did a wonderful job with my haircut. She took the time to listen to my hair needs and did exactly what I asked for. Front desk was very sweet and helpful too. Def coming back for any hair needs here. Thank you all! :)


Feb 05, 2024

Their stylists always do a great job and I pay way less than my last place, for waaaayyy better results.


Feb 05, 2024

Great place. Very friendly.


Feb 05, 2024

I’ve been coming to Salon Gaboa for several years now. I’ve had a few misses with hair cuts and color but after trying other salons I’ve given it another chance. I will now only get my hair color done by Autumn and haircut by Dan. Highly recommend them both!


Feb 05, 2024

Love it! And everyone there is amazing!


Feb 05, 2024

Payton was amazing. Excellent hair stylist and was able to create the style I wanted. Hair product suggestions are working well, and I highly suggest this talented shop.
