The best hairstyles represent a mix of inspiration and thoughtful planning. Ask for a free consultation so that we can figure out styles and color combinations before I so much as pick up a pair of scissors. As a certified hair loss treatment specialist, I take scalp therapy very seriously. I will work with you to achieve the healthy scalp that naturally begets a satisfying hairstyle.
Color services and techniques are my specialty. From ombre to sombre to color melting and fashion colors, I can mix and match styles so that we can achieve the hue that fits you. I am a hair stylist based in Gainesville, FL who has been in business since 1993. My studio specializes in hair coloring treatments (such as balayage) which allow me to create many color styles including ombre and sombre.

Services
When I started doing hair over 25 years ago, I knew I wanted to be a stylist with a full knowledge of trends and popular styles from around the world. While my overall goal is to tailor a look that is unique to my customers' tastes, knowing trends and knowing when to follow them allows a hairdresser to craft a style that people will find both distinctive and tasteful.
Over two and a half decades in the hairdressing business, I've developed a deep knowledge of various hair products and treatment regimens. Using this knowledge allows me to provide many services which I can use to varying degrees to achieve a client's desired look. By following trends alongside a client's specific wants and needs, together we can create a hairstyle that is both modern and uniquely yours.
I am certified with Head First, which is a cutting-edge, non-surgical hair loss prevention and restoration therapy. I have been trained to perform complete scalp assessments which identify the causes of hair thinning and hair loss, drawing up a treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs.

The first appointment of haircut + blowout was good. The second appointment I had my hair colored to cover the gray, and the color was way too dark. The third appointment I asked for a lighter color to match mu natural dark brown, and pointed to the color I wanted on a swatch. He said ok, and over an hour later my roots were a MUCH lighter color than the rest of my hair. As I pointed this out, Bryan mumbled something about "I knew we should've done a darker color" which I was surprised because none of this was mentioned to me when I picked out the color. I'm not sure if this was a passive aggressive

Absolutely phenomenal work done by Brian. Not only is he professional but he is the easiest guy to talk to. He establishes an understanding between himself and the client so the end result is as close to, if not exactly the desired result. I cannot thank him enough for the wonderful job he has done. HIGHLY recommended to anyone in the Gainesville area or anyone visiting the town.

Decided to give Hair by Bryan Dean a call after reading the reviews, and it was the best decision I made. All the reviews are accurate. Bryan did a fabulous job with my cut and color, giving me exactly what I was looking for! Both came out better than I expected, and the result is so easy to style and looks amazing. Bryan is professional, very personable, listens to what you're looking for and gives you what you want. I highly recommend Bryan and will be coming back for sure!

I moved to Gainesville in 2019 and was still traveling several hours every 5-6 weeks to have my previous Stylist color my hair. After COVID-19 hit I thought it was time to find someone local. Bryan had many good reviews. I made an appointment and he was very professional and knew exactly what I wanted. I have continued to use his services. He only schedules one client at a time and gives you his full attention.

Bryan saved my hair! Last year I had a very bad experience where my hair was dyed dark blue (I asked for mermaid grey) and then promptly fell out at the root. I lost about 1/2 of my hair! Since then, Bryan took me under his wing and healed me ... my hair is growing in beautifully now. The extensions I had to wear at first fooled even my husband and the cut he gave me is the BEST I have ever received!!! Thank you Bryan. I will forever be in your debt!

Bryan is a skilled and professional hair dresser. I have worked with Bryan twice: once for a basic color and dry cut and again for a red balayage with lots of layering. Both hair goals were achieved. Bryan and I talked before my appointments to discuss what I was looking for. He kept a file on me and clearly reviewed this before the next appointment. He really listens to customer comments and will discuss your budget up front if needed. I love that he has a private studio with lots of natural light in a nice neighborhood. The environment is relaxing and Bryan is easy to talk to. The work he does

When I found out Bryan was doing men's hair replacement, I made an appointment as fast as I could. I'd been wanting to try a hair replacement system for a while. Bryan was amazing! From the consultation to the application Bryan was professional and kind. The cut and style were awesome and I received a lot of compliments. I especially like the privacy. Bryan has his own private, professional studio! I will definitely be going to Bryan for all my hair needs.

After struggling to find a good hairstylist in Minneapolis when I moved there, I was not excited to start my search again when I moved to Gainesville. Someone recommended I see Bryan and he did not disappoint. I'm a simple gal and like my hair to look good without much fuss. If you're the same you know that a good haircut is the key! In the 5 years I've been going to him, I can't think of a single complaint. My hair is always great! In fact, I got a cut right before heading up north for a wedding I was in and got in trouble from the hairstylist for getting a haircut right before the wedding. But
