Hair Services in Ocala, Florida

Your hair says a lot about you before you even open your mouth. A great haircut makes you feel confident. The right color brings out your best features. And when your hair looks good, everything else just feels easier.

At LuDawn Spa & Salon, our hair stylists bring years of experience and real passion for their work. Kaylee has been creating beautiful hair for over seven years. Kristen has been a licensed cosmetologist since 2013. They know hair inside and out, and they love helping Ocala residents look and feel their absolute best.

We serve clients from all over Marion County. People drive from Silver Springs Shores, Marion Oaks, Belleview, and surrounding areas because they trust our stylists to deliver exactly what they want. From major transformations to simple trims, we handle it all with skill and care.

Our hair salon isn't about rushing you through appointments. We take time to listen to what you want, look at your hair's condition, and create a plan that actually works for your lifestyle. Living in Central Florida means dealing with humidity and sun that can wreck your hair. Our stylists know how to work with those challenges.

Hair Color Services That Transform Your Look

Color can completely change how you look and feel. Going lighter brightens your face. Adding dimension makes thin hair look fuller. Covering gray gives you back your confidence. Our color services range from subtle to dramatic, all customized for you.

Balayage and ombre are still the most requested color techniques at our Ocala salon. Balayage creates natural looking highlights that blend beautifully from dark to light. It grows out without harsh lines, so you can go longer between appointments. Perfect if you're busy or just don't want to be in the salon every six weeks.

Ombre is balayage's bolder sister. The color transition is more obvious, going from darker roots to lighter ends. It's eye catching and works beautifully on longer hair. A lot of our younger clients love this look because it makes a statement without being too wild for work.

Full foil highlights give you all over brightness and dramatic lightening. This technique takes longer and needs more maintenance, but the results are stunning. If you want to go significantly lighter or you're covering a lot of gray, full foils might be your best option.

Partial foils focus on the top sections and around your face. You get brightness where it matters most without the time and cost of full foils. Great for keeping up your color on a budget.

All over color applies one shade to your entire head. Simple, fast, and perfect for covering gray or changing your base color completely. Regrowth touch ups keep your color looking fresh without redoing everything.

Gray blending is a game changer for women who are tired of fighting their gray. Instead of covering it completely, we blend color through your hair so the gray becomes part of your overall look. It's natural, low maintenance, and looks amazing. Kristen specializes in this technique and has transformed how many of our clients feel about their graying hair.

Color Correction for Past Hair Disasters

Sometimes color goes wrong. Maybe you tried a box dye at home. Another salon didn't listen to what you wanted. Or your hair just turned out way different than you expected. Color correction fixes those problems, but it takes time, skill, and patience.

Our stylists have done hundreds of color corrections. They know how to safely lift out unwanted color and replace it with what you actually want. It might take more than one appointment, but we'll get you there without destroying your hair in the process.

Haircuts and Styling for Every Age

A good haircut works with your hair's natural texture, frames your face beautifully, and styles easily at home. Our stylists create precision cuts that grow out well and don't require an hour of work every morning.

Women's haircuts include a consultation, shampoo, cut, and style. Your stylist will talk through what you want and what will actually work for your hair type. Thin hair needs different techniques than thick hair. Curly hair has completely different rules than straight hair. Our stylists understand all of that.

Children's haircuts for kids 12 and under make getting hair cut easy and fun. We're patient with kids who get nervous or can't sit still. Many Ocala families have been bringing their kids here for years.

Special Treatments That Transform Your Hair

Brazilian Blowout creates smooth, frizzy free hair without harsh chemicals. The formaldehyde free version we use is safer and still delivers amazing results. Florida humidity doesn't stand a chance against this treatment. Your hair stays smooth for months.

Keratin smoothing treatments reduce frizz and make your hair more manageable. You can still have texture and body, but without the poof and flyaways that come with living in humid Central Florida. These treatments last several months and cut your styling time in half.

Conditioning treatments repair damage from color, heat styling, and sun exposure. Our add on conditioning treatment only takes a few extra minutes but makes a huge difference in how your hair looks and feels. Deep conditioning treatments give even more intensive repair for seriously damaged hair.

Gloss and shine treatments add incredible shine and help your color last longer. They seal the hair cuticle and make everything look more polished. A lot of clients add this to their color service or get it between color appointments to keep their hair looking fresh.

Styling Services for Special Occasions

Got a wedding coming up? Big event? Just want to look extra special? Our styling services have you covered.

Shampoo and style gives you a salon perfect blowout that lasts for days. Perfect before job interviews, date nights, or anytime you want to look polished without doing it yourself.

Updos for special occasions make you look elegant and keep your hair out of your face. We create everything from classic elegant styles to modern trendy looks. Bridal updos are a specialty here, with trial runs available so you know exactly how you'll look on your big day.

Permanent waves might sound old fashioned, but modern perms create beautiful texture and body. They're nothing like the tight curls from the 1980s. Today's perms give you loose waves and volume that look completely natural.

Protecting Your Hair Color in Ocala's Sun

Central Florida sun fades hair color faster than almost anywhere else. You can spend good money on beautiful color and watch it turn brassy or dull within weeks if you're not careful.

Always use color safe shampoo and conditioner at home. Regular products strip color out faster. Wear a hat when you're spending extended time outside, especially at places like Silver Springs State Park or watching events at the World Equestrian Center.

Schedule toner appointments between full color services. Toner refreshes your shade and keeps brassiness away. It's quick and affordable compared to full color.

Consider gloss treatments to seal in color and add shine. They create a protective layer that helps your color last longer even in harsh Florida conditions.

What to Expect at Your Hair Appointment

Arrive on time or a few minutes early for your appointment. Your stylist will start with a consultation about what you want and what's realistic for your hair. Be honest about your lifestyle and how much time you spend styling at home.

Bring pictures if you have a specific look in mind. Pictures help your stylist see exactly what you're envisioning. Just know that what works on someone else might need adjusting for your hair type and face shape.

Haircut appointments usually take 45 minutes to an hour. Color services take longer, sometimes several hours depending on what you're getting done. Your stylist will give you a time estimate when you book.

Speak up during your service if something doesn't feel right. Your stylist wants you to be happy with the results. It's easier to adjust things during the appointment than trying to fix them later.

Pricing and Booking Information

Our prices are marked with a plus sign because they vary based on hair length, thickness, and the specific stylist's experience level. Longer, thicker hair takes more time and product. Your stylist will give you an accurate quote during your consultation.

If you don't see a specific service listed on our menu, just call and ask. We can probably do it. Our stylists have handled everything from avant garde fashion colors to classic conservative cuts.
