What our guests actually say.
Canterbury & Co. Salon, inside Gulf Coast Town Center in Fort Myers, is rated 4.9 stars across 174 Google reviews as of October 2026, and averages 4.99 stars across 3,500+ post-visit reviews collected through its booking system since 2021. Its post-visit reviews earned the salon the 2026 Phorest Client Experience Award.
Two figures, two sources — we'd rather show you both than blend them into one. The Google reviews below credit Alli Canterbury, Kristen Grzegorczyk, Tori Knox, Julie Bockhorst and Nicole Spaude by name, and every quote is reproduced verbatim.
After every appointment, our booking system quietly asks one question: how did we do? What follows are the answers — reproduced verbatim, typos and all, with names shortened to a first name and initial for privacy — alongside the Google reviews and testimonials we already publish. Where a review names one of our stylists, we've kept the credit; they earned it. That same review record is what earned the 2026 Phorest Client Experience Award.

“I have finally found the best girl for hair color and extensions! Kristen is amazing at her craft! My extensions are the best they have ever been and last weeks longer than usual! She matched my hair color perfectly to them *which is super hard to do! Not only did she take her time in our consultation but i felt she really listened to all my hair needs! After bouncing around for years in swfl I have finally found my girl! Thank you Kristen!”

“Nicole was absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, she took the time to really listen to my concerns and understand what I was looking for.”
“As a new Floridian, it is always a bit nerve-wrecking finding a new salon & stylist. Emma listened to all my hair concerns (had very old extensions in - needed those out & new ones in), needed a highlight, cut & treatment for damage... Emma dealt with each concern, listened attentively, asked questions, gave me many tips, and did an outstanding job! My hair felt amazing walking out (which I wasn't sure was possible walking in!), the color was "right on target", and I am absolutely thrilled I found her! I recommend her without hesitation!”

He absolutely loves how it turned out! We’ll definitely be back!”
