Best Hair Salons in DeLand, Florida

What reviewers mention: balayage, keratin treatments, attention to detail, reasonable rates.

The Mix Salon Spa Aveda takes the top spot, and tenure is the reason, not its rating. The 4.7 Google rating across 81 reviews actually sits below several salons ranked beneath it, yet the salon's own site describes it continuing a legacy of over 30 years, now under new ownership, and our scoring gives real weight to a long operating history. That figure reflects the business's own account of its history, not the time any single owner or stylist has spent in the chair. State records confirm its cosmetology salon license, CE10031360, current as of July 8, 2026. Reviewers point to balayage and keratin treatments, attention to detail, and rates they found reasonable, and the salon is on East New York Avenue near downtown DeLand. Longevity plus a verified license, not a higher score, are the honest reasons it leads. Ask about the service and get a price before you book.

What reviewers mention: highlights, hair color correction, lash lift and tint, welcoming atmosphere.

Smokeshow Hair Co. ranks second on the strength of a perfect 5.0 Google rating, the only flawless average on this page, drawn from 219 reviews, the second-largest review count here. What holds it back from first is our scoring: alongside rating and review volume, we weigh how long a salon has operated. The owner confirmed to us in July 2026 that Smokeshow opened in January 2024, which lines up with its Facebook page's creation, and a salon in its third year cannot yet match the 30-year history ahead of it. Its downtown location sits on North Woodland Boulevard in the heart of DeLand, and the business also lists a second shop in Ormond Beach. Reviewers point to highlights and color correction, lash lift and tint, and a welcoming atmosphere. DBPR lists a current cosmetology salon license, CE10041882, verified July 8, 2026. A spotless average on real volume this early is a strong signal, so read recent reviews and get a price before booking.

What reviewers mention: custom color, color correction, platinum blonding, professional staff.

Salon Blondie Hair Lounge ranks third, higher than its review count alone would predict: its 59 reviews are among the fewest here. What lifts it is a verified track record. A Google business badge puts it at 10-plus years in business, and our scoring rewards a confirmed decade of operation alongside a strong 4.8 rating. The salon leans into color, with a menu and reviews describing custom color, color correction, and platinum blonding, so it is worth a look if you are after a specific blonde or a color that went wrong elsewhere. Its address on North Woodland Boulevard is downtown, across the street from another salon on this list. Its state cosmetology salon license, CE9996760, checks out as current on July 8, 2026. Read a few recent reviews to judge whether its color focus fits your hair, and get the service and price in writing before work starts.

What reviewers mention: highlights, hair bleaching, reasonable pricing, welcoming atmosphere.

Mirror Mirror House of Hair ranks fourth, and it is a close call: its score sits just behind Salon Blondie's. Mirror Mirror brings one of the larger review bases here, 216 reviews behind a 4.7 rating, but its opening date is not documented in a source we trust, so tenure cannot tip the scale the way Salon Blondie's verified decade does. Reviewers point to highlights and lightening work, pricing they found reasonable, and a welcoming atmosphere, so it reads as an approachable downtown option rather than a color-only specialist. It sits on South Florida Avenue near DeLand's downtown. The state cosmetology salon license on file, CE10012269, was verified July 8, 2026. With a base this large you can read widely, so scan recent reviews for the service you need and get a price up front before booking.

What reviewers mention: highlights, keratin treatment, color repair, blowouts.

The Warehouse Salon ranks fifth with a 4.9 Google rating across 123 reviews, a strong average on a solid base. It lands here rather than higher because our scoring also weighs years in business, and with no reliable founding date on record its tenure sits neutral rather than resting on a guess. One detail sets it apart: the DBPR license lists it as a private membership association, so it may ask new clients to join before booking. Call ahead to see how that works. Reviewers describe highlights, keratin treatments, color repair, and blowouts, a color-and-smoothing focus. It works from a South Woodland Boulevard address on the south side of DeLand. We confirmed its cosmetology salon license, CE10053703, current as of July 8, 2026. Skim recent reviews for the service you want, and settle the price and any membership terms first.

What reviewers mention: highlights, curly hair styling, attention to detail, welcoming atmosphere.

Style Works Hair Studio ranks sixth with a 4.8 Google rating from 137 reviews, a healthy base for a studio this size. It places here because our scoring rewards a verified founding year, and no source we accept fixes when Style Works opened, so its track record cannot add points here. What stands out in its reviews is curly-hair styling, which not every salon on this list handles well, along with highlights, attention to detail, and a welcoming atmosphere. If your hair is curly or coily, that specialty is worth a direct question when you call. The studio occupies a suite on Orange Camp Road, off the south end of DeLand near the interstate rather than downtown. The studio's cosmetology salon license, CE10047628, held current on July 8, 2026. Check recent reviews for the service you need, then ask what it will run when you call.

What reviewers mention: balayage, highlights, welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff.

Steel Magnolias Salon carries the largest review base on this page, 228 reviews behind a 4.8 rating, plus a Google badge showing 15-plus years in business. On rating, volume, and tenure alone it would rank near the top. It sits seventh for one reason, and we would rather show that math than hide it: our scoring counts a verified state license, and we could not confirm a current cosmetology salon establishment license for Steel Magnolias as of July 8, 2026. Public DBPR records show that the establishment license under its earlier name was closed on November 30, 2024, and we found no current one to replace it. A licensed cosmetologist works on-site. Reviewers describe balayage, highlights, a welcoming atmosphere, and friendly staff, and the salon sits on South Woodland Boulevard downtown. Ask the salon directly about its current license, and settle the service and price before you book.

What reviewers mention: highlights, balayage, keratin treatments, hair advice.

Lucy's Hair Studio ranks eighth with a 4.8 Google rating across 70 reviews, based at a West New York Avenue address in DeLand. Its rating matches several salons above it, and the gap comes down to review volume and an unverified founding year: 70 reviews is a smaller base than the salons just ahead, and no source we accept establishes how long Lucy's has run, so we count no tenure for it rather than invent a date. Reviewers point to highlights, balayage, keratin treatments, and stylists who take time to give hair advice. One note on finding it: a Yelp listing files Lucy's under nail salons, but its Google profile and service menu are hair-led, so treat it as a hair studio. Its state cosmetology salon license, CE10028601, is verified as of July 8, 2026. With no standalone website, book through its Google profile, and nail down the service and price first.

What reviewers mention: hairstyling, haircut, hair color, homey atmosphere.

Doriannas Salon & Day Spa ranks ninth on a 4.9 Google rating, one of the highest averages here, though that rating rests on just 54 reviews, among the smallest counts on the page. Our scoring weighs volume alongside the rating, which is why a near-perfect average built on a modest number of reviews lands here rather than at the top. Google files it under spa, but hair is a core service, and reviewers point to hairstyling, haircuts, hair color, and a homey atmosphere. It sits at an East New York Avenue address in DeLand, and its owner is a licensed cosmetologist on-site. Florida DBPR shows its cosmetology salon license, CE10049212, current as of July 8, 2026. The website linked from its Google profile is a third-party directory, not the salon's own site, so book by phone. A high average on a small sample can still be genuine, so read the reviews yourself, then ask what your visit will cost.

What reviewers mention: haircut, hairstyling, friendly staff, clean salon.

Southern Roots Salon rounds out the list at number ten with a 4.8 Google rating from 62 reviews. It lands last mainly on the numbers our scoring weighs most after rating: 62 reviews is a smaller base than most names here, and its opening year is not documented in a source we trust, so its tenure counts neither for nor against it. A Facebook post mentions four years in business, but it is undated, so we did not use it. The review sample is thin, so we keep its attributes plain: reviewers describe haircuts, hairstyling, friendly staff, and a clean salon, with no strong color specialty among the topics. The salon is women-owned and sits on North Woodland Boulevard in DeLand. State DBPR records list CE10026716 as a current cosmetology salon license, verified July 8, 2026. Read the handful of reviews closely, and get a price for your service up front.
