Our Love Stories

Carina is amazing! She is super knowledgeable and really cares about the health of her client's hair. She has been nothing but professional, kind, and generous with each visit. My mom, sister, and I also had our hair/makeup done by her team for family photos, and we felt beautiful! I'm so happy I found her cool and chic salon. I highly recommend it!

Naomi Kurazawa

Just WOW! Carina is an absolute Master of her craft. My hair was in such bad condition and long overdue for a haircut - I am very active and spend a lot of time outdoors and in the water. I had an event on, and Carina literally worked magic to get my hair from what you see before in the photo I have shared, to what you see after. My hair felt so soft and flowed beautifully, the cut is amazing, and how she styled it was exactly what I wanted for the event. I am so glad I found such a talented and caring hairdresser. I will be back again and again. I highly recommend Carina and her beautiful salon to anyone looking for an absolutely professional experience and brilliant outcome for their hair care needs.

I completely recommend this hair salon to anyone and everyone! Amazing interiors and so clean!

Carina knows her craft and not only that, she really works with integrity. I went in wanting to get a particular colour but after asking what I had in my hair and really listening, she honestly told me it really wasn’t the right time. I had a lot of work to put into my hair before it was ready to go through what I wanted. It would have been easy for any hairdresser to just say ok and get paid but she truly cared and wanted the best for my hair. Even though I live abroad she gave me advice, wrote a hair care plan down for me and told me exactly what to ask for when I got back home. Who does that for nothing? I will seriously be back to Portugal just to get Carina to eventually do my hair! Integrity is very hard to find.

I have just had my hair done at the lovely Swank; Catarina for my extensions and Carina for my colour and cut, and I am so happy. They are professional and lovely people. I love Carina's no nonsense approach and her focus on making your hair healthy and gorgeous. I highly recommend them.

I came here to get a blowdry as well as hair waving & everything was AMAZING! The salon is so modern & clean, the service is so accommodating & I had the pleasure of having Carina do my hair. She takes so much pride in her work & makes sure you’re absolutely happy. I highly recommend & will for sure be coming back!

Carina is one of a kind - she’s warm, welcoming, incredibly knowledgeable but most importantly, she’s honest! Whether a blow dry, a mask treatment or a full afternoon having a colour, you’re made to feel like her most important client from the moment you walk through the door. I always leave feeling glamorous, and receive the kindest comments on my hair. Carina is an absolute BOSS QUEEN!!!

Sarah Brand

My absolute favorite and most trusted hairdresser. Carina saved my hair! I was going through extreme hair loss and my hair was in a very frail state, Carina’s treatments saved my hair. She’s extremely knowledgeable and her genuine concern was the health of my hair. She refused to do anything that would damage my hair, I can’t express enough how grateful I am for her skills and knowledge. She’s taught me so much about my beautiful long hair!

When I go for a hair appointment I feel I need to take notes every single time. Carina is so knowledgable and I learn something about my own hair every single time. She gives great advice and does the best cut I've had in a long time!

Jorien Doherty

I cannot say enough great things about Carina! She is the ultimate professional and I loved SWANK. Carina literally repaired my damaged and over bleached hair and made it healthy and beautiful again. She is a hair expert and the salon is beautiful, pampering, and top notch! It is now my go to beauty salon! Thanks, Carina!

Tricia Buenvenida

My experience at swank is always positive. from the moment you walk in the door, carina treats you more like a friend than a client, always welcoming and eager to help. she's given me great advice on how to care for my hair and pays great attention to the little details. i've had my hair cut here twice and the last time i mentioned i could never get salon perfect waves at home myself so this morning she called me in to give me a lesson and sent me home with her hair curling wand so i can practice 😆 so sweet and so passionate about her work!

Carina is a one of a kind hairdresser. She tells you the truth on your styling and you are smart if you listen to her. My hair is thin and is frizzy. I have had several bad haircuts and she has straightened my hair out and taught me how to work with it.

Carina is wonderful and made space in her busy schedule when another hair salon cancelled last minute. Great colour and my hair looked much healthier after my visit. Thank you! 🙏🏽

Rachel

Posting a review on my husband’s Google account! I booked in with Carina to have my hair done the next day for a wedding. SWANK was highly recommended and Carina generously squeezed me in and did such a fabulous job! My hair looked amazing and I loved the softness and the gentle wave! It held beautifully too. Lots of great hair tips and a really impressive, personable service. Carina really listened and then offered her advice so that I got exactly what I wanted. I highly recommend a visit. If I lived here this would be my go-to salon. Thank you Carina!

Andrew Cox

I have tried many Hair Salons in the Algarve over a period of thirty years. Most were good, but I find Swank excellent. Carina is a master at coloring hair. I went in looking old and frumpy and left with beautiful steaks of blonde hair. I am a very happy and satisfied customer. Carina you’re the best!

Antonio Morgado
