The Heart of Hair On Central

Welcome to Hair On Central, where passion for hair artistry meets genuine care for every person who walks through our doors.

Founded with a simple belief—that exceptional hair care should be accessible to everyone—we’ve built more than just a salon. We’ve created a sanctuary in the heart of St. Petersburg where transformation happens both inside and out.
Our journey began with a vision: to establish a space where technical excellence coexists with authentic connection. Today, our team of experienced stylists doesn’t just create beautiful hair; we create experiences that leave you feeling confident, celebrated, and truly yourself.

 

From precision cuts to transformative color, from wedding day glamour to everyday maintenance, we approach each service with the same dedication: achieving your hair goals while ensuring you enjoy every moment in our chair.

Everyone Belongs Here

At Hair On Central, "all walks of life" isn't just a tagline, it's our promise. We've cultivated an environment where:

Your background, identity, and personal style are not just welcomed but celebrated. Our stylists are trained in all hair textures and types, ensuring expert care for everyone.

Whether you're maintaining a classic look or exploring a bold new identity, our chairs are safe spaces for self-expression.

We believe in transparent, gender-neutral pricing based on service, not assumptions.

Our salon is designed to be physically accessible, and our team is committed to accommodating all needs to ensure everyone can enjoy our services.

Meet Our Stylist

Meet Breklyn, owner of Hair on Central, creative colorist, and proud dog mom to two lovable English bulldogs. She specializes in blonding, extensions, pixie cuts, and vivid, head-turning colors. Whether you're craving a bold transformation or a polished, low-maintenance glow-up, Breklyn is here to make your hair dreams happen.

Outside the salon, she's all about balance: barre, yoga, and cycling keep her moving, while self-care beauty rituals, snuggly naps, and a little ASMR help her recharge. She's inspired by color (pink and gold, always!) and the confidence that comes from feeling great in your own skin—and your own hair.

    First time going to Hair on Central (which is now on 1st Ave N, so don't get lost.) I am VERY particular about my hair, but I needed to find a colorist /stylist and took a chance on a Google search! (So not me.) I had very specific requests and multiple colors. To my surprise, this place ROCKS! Lindsey G gave me an amazing color look and cut ... everyone is friendly; the place is filled with art and very attractive. While I was there, people were getting all sorts of treatments! And everyone was very happy. I left and went to pick up an order at Starbucks and the barista said, "I LOVE your hair!" So if you're looking, I STRONGLY recommend Hair on Central!

    I called in on a whim for a same-day appointment bc I lived 2 blocks from this salon and was just in desperate need of a haircut. I can honestly say Melissa gave me the best haircut I have had in YEARS! The time and care she spent on my hair was unmatched. I’m so happy I stumbled upon her!

    Breklyn and everyone at Hair On Central are the most amazing people! I have a pixie and when I moved to Florida I was so nervous about getting a new stylist. Breklyn made the transition so easy and made me feel confident and beautiful. Plus she’s just a wonderful person overall. I would give them more stars if I could!

    You will absolutely love Breklyn's work. I leave feeling better than when I walked in and my hair feels fantastic for months. It's cut to absolute perfection. She trims slowly and takes your direction.

    I recently moved to the area and was on a quest to find the right place for my hair. After several tries at other places, I found a home at Hair on Central! Lindsey did an amazing job with my color. The owner Brecklin is super nice and the vibe is amazing!
