Jaclyn rules! One of the best cuts and experiences I've had in years. I will most definitely return!

Went in for an impromptu manicure and foot massage for my boyfriend. Stephanie took us right away and was great, fun to talk to and she had a lot of helpful tips on keeping my nails healthy! The space is wonderful, really pretty and calming decor. Definitely worth a trip!

Marco is a boss. Hands down best men's cut in Charleston. Very skilled and quick.

Charlotte Fisher

Amazing salon ! Beautiful setting/ everyone is so nice and Aveda products are the best and smell so good. Stephanie does amazing job with pedicure/manicure- makes you feel special. A MUST.

Sandy Reilly

Not sure the beautician is the most skilled I've ever visited. My eyelash tint is pretty light on for only a week since being done .. should take 4 weeks min to look so washed out.

Dana is magic. Well worth the drive downtown! I love the head massage she starts with (she's an awesome massage therapist, too!)...it puts you in a trance. The whole experience is so relaxing and the cut is always spot on. I have "good hair days" for a week after I see her. She's also great about recommending products and explaining them without being a pushy salesman. I absolutely recommend her!

Deborah Frye

Great staff and wonderful hair stylists! They even fed the meter for me in my parking spot.

Kathryn Tully Oelsner

I've been going here for 4 years now and they have NEVER disappointed me! I love this Aveda! I can always get an appt when I need one. Sarah always does a great job on my hair and the service is always wonderful! I would definitely highly recommend!

Kay Clark

Stephanie is great! Went and got my nails and toes done! Wonderful experience! They look great! And manicure Monday’s are the best!

Molly Young

Amazing haircut and wonderful products!

Aveda products are my favorite. After moving away from my favorite Aveda spa in Summerville, I thought I'd try Lordis Loft downtown. I had a 60 minute deep tissue massage and a 60 minute facial. The facial was pretty standard -- nothing special. I was more disappointed with the massage. The massage room was VERY cold. They needed a space heater or something. I shivered through the whole massage. I requested a deep tissue and reminded my therapist of this during the appointment but received light to medium pressure. As a bit of a massage expert (at least at receiving them), this massage was a total bust. Also, it was difficult to relax during the massage because the upbeat pop music from the front of the retail part of the store was blaring so loud that it was much louder than the tranquil music playing in the massage room. I disliked this spa and don't feel like they are a good representation of the Aveda brand. I will not be back.

Wonderful Experience!!!! We asked Lordis Loft to do the bride and wedding party's hair and makeup for my daughter's wedding November 2016 at the Loris Loft. They graciously opened the salon to all of us (17 people!!!), accommodated every bridesmaid's wish for hair and makeup and made us all feel so special the afternoon of the wedding. The coordinator kept us all on time and helped make everyone feel welcome! Lacey did an amazing job with the my daughter's hair (the bride) and makeup as well as mine! It was a very lovely day for all of us and we are so grateful that everyone at Lordis Loft made us look and feel very beautiful for this special day! I strongly recommend anyone plan their wedding event with them! Everyone at the Salon did a beautiful job of up-dos, makeup, and blow drys on all of us!

I have been going to Lordis for over 3 years. First time i had to come in i was wearing a baseball hat and sunglasses to hide the tears- i had to see Mrs.Dana - she was highly recommended by a friend as The Best Hair Colorist in Charleston!.... my friend is from the upper crust wealthy old Chas family- usually flies to NYC for cuts and color, however, when in Chas - Mrs.Dana is the only one she trusts her hair to... Long story short- Mrs.Dana Saved My Hair!!!! She Repaired the damage done by the Owner of another Chas Salon which will remain unnamed and i was a Convert!.... Over the years i only see Mrs.Dana and i am Constantly getting compliments on my hair! People just ask if "those are Highlights or a Naturally Sun Kissed Hair?..." She truly is the best.... Mrs.Dana always does such a good job on my cut and color! She listens to what I want and delivers!!! She is Super caring and very knowledgeable about the whole Aveda line... and she is a Color Goddess in my book... Mrs.Dana has also became a Licensed Massage Therapist - yey!!!! Her massages are Truly Amazing! She really has a Magic Touch that just knows what your body needs- simply Brilliant!! I have had some very exclusive massages in various SPAs around the world- hers are on par with the best of them. It is All About Touch!.... I agree with the other reviewer- she does have " magic hands"! I can't believe someone would say anything mean about Mrs.Dana- she is such a Sweetheart and A Gem of a Person!!!! I would be forced to fly to see her if she 'd ever moves from Charleston! That Would Be A Very Sad Day!...

Stephenie was great! Go see her and build her customer base! Love that Lordis Loft does nails!!!

I recommended this salon for my daughter cause I thought Aveda products are terrific!... Well.... That was the only highlight :(((( First of all, the stylist Dana had a bad attitude and was very condescending at times. I am surprised that she is working there.... I never had bad experience before that with any other stylists (love Carly and Lacy) but this time it was really not what this place is all about. Someone said in the review that she is a good masseuse..... Omg... So not true!!! If you are looking for some back aches, then by all means, go there. And hair..... If you want to wear a baseball hat for the summer, please go to Dana.... Doesn't know what the heck is she doing.... But the Aveda never disappoints with quality of products... For that I give my star.... And I will make sure to never take my daughter to Dana ever, if we will return to the salon. Carly, a cute blonde who is adorable and always upbeat is my recommendation and Lacy... Always has great hear that girl, love her! Don't waste your time or money on Dana.

Sarah Widener is a magician and as long as I live in Charleston I'll be one of her most devoted clients. The receptionist offered me a delicious cup of hot tea while I waited. The salon is clean, nicely decorated and calming. As a sidenote: I had a terrible experience earlier this year that cost lots of time and money ($230+, 6 hours, all over blonde as opposed to a nice sun kissed balayage, and hair that looked like a 5-year old cut it with safety scissors) and left me hating my hair and not wanting to look at my reflection. Seriously, I wore my hair up for over a month, even at home with my husband. I have long, wavy hair and Sarah did an amazing job of blending the "layers" I'd been given into a haircut that I no longer hated and in fact LOVED!!! She's amazing and I am sending my husband to her, my mother when she comes to visit and I am debating going shorter just to have her cut my hair again. I truly can't say enough good things about her.

Lauren was so professional and did a fantastic job with my highlights. She was so considerate of my schedule since I had reservations that evening and worked quickly but also did an awesome job!! Highly recommend this salon!

Stephanie is hands down thee best manicurist. I have been getting my nails done for years and never have I had a gel manicure that actually last 3 full weeks. I am talking about looking top notch at the end of the 3rd week! My nails are the healthiest they have ever been thanks to Stephanie!!

Two girlfriends and I were visiting Charleston and looking for a place to get the works done - massage, facials, mani/pedis, blowouts, all of it - and we looked for some place reasonably priced. Lordis was centrally located, priced below most other spas we checked, and offered the services we wanted, so we booked it. They treated us so well! They were very accommodating with the schedule, working it all out so we didn't have to wait too long between treatments, and the spa area is well separated from the salon, so there was no bleed-through of noise or aroma. The spa rooms were warm but not too warm, the music was calming, the massage was transcendent, the 'firming' facial was very soothing and still has my face looking firmer days later, my nails still look great, and I'm trying to figure out a way to get back to Charleston to do it all over again! Jaclyn, Alana, Alexis, the wonderful woman who did the facials but I didn't catch her name, the lovely lady behind the counter, they were all just terrific, and so sweet and attentive. I can't recommend them all highly enough!

Erin Rice

Absolutely perfect!! I went here for a manicure/pedicure and it was by far the best service I have ever received! Stephanie is so good at what she does and really works to not only give you top quality service but to get to know you and what your nails and skin need to be restored to their true underlying beauty. My nails and surrounding skin have never felt healthier! Everything was clean and comfortable, and the polish selection was top notch. The atmosphere in the salon itself was tranquil and just what I needed to relax. I will definitely be back for the different spa services Stephanie mentioned during my visit (like massages and facials) and already booked my next nail appointment with her. I highly recommend scheduling a nail appointment with Stephanie! Her work is truly amazing.

I love Aveda and I was so excited to find an Aveda salon in Charleston, SC. Alana was the stylist that cut my hair and died it and we spent 3-4 hours doing the style of my liking. She made me feel comfortable and discussed openly about my life and my marriage with my husband there next to me to only find out that Alana the stylist doing my hair for 3-4 hours, asking about how long I’ve been with my husband, how our relationship was? And all about my career, actually knew my husband and had a sexual relationship with him while we were married in the past. This was also my husbands fault (which I’ve dismissed) but the fact that I thought I could trust someone with my hair and my life stories at that moment was incredibly unprofessional, ridiculous, and honestly DISAPPOINTING! As for this review, I will never go back to this salon and as a recommendation I would NEVER book an appointment with Alana. God knows I will never again. It was either this review or me booking an appointment face to face with her... I chose the review. Any real women with a husband would understand this post and if not maybe one day you will.

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! I came in about 6 weeks ago and got a Botanical Skin Resurfacing for Radiant Skin...BEST THING EVER!!! Linzie was AMAZING!! She recommended some Aveda products which I am so glad I bought; my skin is so beautiful now! I had such a great experience I scheduled a Deep tissue massage for a few days later! I forget who my masseur, but SHE WAS AMAZING was! Best massage I have ever received. Most spas down town are a rip off and not worth the $$$$ you spend. Lordis is very reasonable priced and the service is absolutely amazing!! I will never go anywhere else when I am back in Charleston!

Megan Wright

Wasn't sure about "lash tinting" at first, but they were very friendly and made me feel very comfortable! Reasonably priced and a great service

B. Taylor

I got ready for my wedding there and the staff was really nice and my hair and makeup was perfect!

Chad Rich

Stephanie is the best. Best pedicure ever.

I couldn't say more positive things about this salon and the owner, Linzie. I have been searching for YEARS to finally find the person who could achieve the super natural, not overly bleached and super chunky blonde highlight look I have always desired. Linzie takes the time to look over multiple pictures with you, she talks you through every step of the process, and she is a master with color. She takes detailed notes about the processes she does with your hair and takes the time to prepare herself to talk to you before you even come in to familiarize herself with you and see if you want to stick with what you have or make any sort of changes. I recently got a haircut with her and was debating to put in long layers. When I finally decided to keep it all one length, she so sweetly told me that if I changed my mind in the next week, just to pop in and she would be happy to put them in for me. This salon goes above and beyond to make sure you are 100% happy with your services and to top it all off, this is BY FAR the most reasonably priced Aveda salon I have EVER been to! I appreciate her attention to detail and the way she makes you feel like a top client and will be going to Linzie at Lordis Loft until I'm in the grave! haha

A few friends and I came to Lordis Loft's downtown location last Saturday to get manicures as part of a bachelorette party. The space is beautiful and the employees are very friendly. The manis/pedis are held in a back room where the group of 4 of us could sit together and even bring our own mimosas - great touch! However, we booked 4 shellac manis and were given regular polish even after verifying on the phone twice beforehand. This is partly my fault - I also forgot to ask about it when we had arrived and were picking out polish. As there were only two stations for manicures and we were quoted an hour for a manicure, I booked 2 manicures at 2pm and 2 manicures at 3pm. The second nail technician did not start on my nails until 2:45, already pushing us way back on time. We did not leave the salon until around 5:15pm. Thankfully we didn't have solid plans for afterwards so we didn't run into timing issues but we were a little annoyed with how long it took. Additionally, a nail dryer was only offered to 2/4 of us. As we didn't have enough time to sit and let our nails dry before we had to leave, 2 of us had smudged nails immediately and all of our nails continued to chip already that evening. In addition, I feel they could have done a better jobs on our cuticles. Overall, the place is beautiful and I'm sure it is great as a hair salon but SKIP if you're looking to get your nails done, it's not worth it.
