Many customers of Universal Hair Studio in Lutz have been coming to the salon for stylish haircuts for over 10 years – since it opened in 2005.
“We have so many loyal customers to be thankful for,” said Cheryl Lynn, owner/stylist at the salon. “Some days it’s hard to believe we’ve been here for 11 years.”
One reason Universal Hair Studio has been so successful is because Cheryl loves her work and is a hands-on operator.
“I know all of our customers personally,” said Cheryl. “Customers keep coming back because we are very good stylists, offer personal care and make sure guests feel comfortable and at home.”
Cheryl opened Universal Hair Studio after she and her husband, Randal, built a house in Land O’ Lakes. Before they moved to Pasco County, Cheryl owned a hair salon for nine years in Tampa, close to MacDill Air Force Base. She sold that salon to be closer to her new home.
It wasn’t long before Cheryl opened Universal Hair Studio, buying an office condominium at St. Rd. 54 and Foggy Ridge Road, located behind Bay Breeze Car Wash.
“It’s a great spot that’s centrally located for our customers who live in Lutz, Land O’ Lakes and Wesley Chapel,” said Cheryl.
She named her new salon Universal Hair Studio to communicate her goal of providing hair services for people of all ethnicities.
“My salon has been multicultural since day one,” says Cheryl. “I called it Universal because is doesn’t matter what gender, or race, someone is. We are all trained stylists experienced at working with all types of hair.”
Cheryl explained that her customers are African American, Muslim, Puerto Rican, Caucasian, Asian and Caribbean Islanders. The studio also cuts hair for men, especially retired men, and welcomes walk-ins.
“Customers like that they can get in and out of our salon fast, and that our staff is always professional and never gossips,” said Cheryl. “We provide quality services at affordable prices, in an environment that is always clean. Plus, we offer senior citizen discounts.”
Working alongside Cheryl is Yvonne Davis, who moved here from Miami with 20 years experience. Stylist Latonya Spiner specializes in braids and weaving, and has been a stylist for five years. The newest addition to the team is Renee Torres, whose heritage is Puerto Rico
Universal Hair Studio offers a full array of professional hair care products, including Redken, Paul Mitchell, Affirm, Design Elements, Avalon, Frames, Catwalk by TIGI and Crew.
“We carry several professional brands because we want the best products for the kind of hair you have,” said Cheryl.
