Ellie B did my hair for our daughter's formal wedding. She came highly recommended by the Scripps Ranch FB group. I'm so glad I went to Ellie. She very accurately copied the style I was going for and also clipped in some hair jewelry I had, which really enhanced the look. Her pricing was reasonable too. In and out in just under 1 hour. Highly recommend! read more

Marie was super friendly and knew how to cut my 3a/b curly hair. I was very happy with her services and my new cut and will book again!

Marie Is great with curly cuts! Her availability is great and great pricing for a great curly cut. read more

Ellie has colored, lightened and blended around my incoming gray hair for over 5 years! Even after moving out of San Diego, I plan my work trips around my hair schedule. I always get so many compliments on how natural my hair looks! She is very communicative with an email and text notification / confirmation system which is super helpful to keep my schedule on track. The salon's colorful design and cleanliness also makes it very comfortable to be there, and ensures she cares about the comfort of her clients. She is a gem! read more

I had my first appointment with Marie last month for a cut and highlights. I have fine curly hair and never had color before. Marie was wonderful, she understands how to correctly dry cut curly hair and shaped it well. I left very happy with my hair. Prices are also very fair. I am sure to be back. read more

I went with Ellie and I liked her job. She is very easy going and not overly chatty. He mainly used a razor to cut my short hair. Even though I was a little worried, it came out nice. read more

Ellie is professional, creative, efficient, and fun. I have really curly hair and when I first reached out to Ellie, she immediately asked me pertinent questions about my hair, asked for photographs and recommended some conditioning products to use in preparation for the big day. She looked at all of the hair styles that I had snagged from Pinterest and gave me recommendations on what would look good for the big day. She was basically a gal pal who has an insane talent for hair and make up -- win & win! We had so much fun the day of our trial and she did such an incredible job that I knew we had to book her right away. Ellie is just a master when it comes to all hair styles but she is the one and only stylist I liked who could make my curly hair look amazing in its natural state. She created a schedule for our big day that allowed us to wake up at a reasonable time the day of but also got all of the services done in time for our photographer's arrival. She gave a list of tips/pointers for me to share with my bridesmaids before the day of, including recommendations on skin care/hair care prior to the big day. Ellie answered every text I had promptly and reached out the evening before to confirm her team's arrival. When the day came, not only was Ellie's team on-time but they all wore masks the whole time and made sure that we felt comfortable. The whole beauty team had such calm demeanors and made each of us feel so special, pampered and relaxed (which I heard is pretty rare the morning of a wedding!). Ellie especially took care with my mother and made sure that she absolutely loved her hair and make up and felt confident and beautiful. The whole team did a fabulous job with our hair and make up. My fiancé especially said she did an amazing job highlighting our natural beauty while also making us look glam. Seriously, we all felt so confident and glamorous and all got so many compliments on how we looked throughout the night. To top it off, we all danced the night away and our hair and make up STAYED amazing. We have photos from cake cutting at the end of the night and I looked just as good then as I had many hours earlier in the ceremony. Hours of dancing and my hair was still flawless and my make up looked incredible. It made the night so fun to not worry about make up running or hair falling down. Couldn't have imagined our special day starting in any other way and couldn't have imagined a better team than Ellie and her girls to make us look so beautiful. They made us look and feel confident and gave us beauty that lasted the whole evening. I would highly recommend Ellie and her team for your big day if you want to have fun, look amazing, and photograph well! read more

I used Ellie back in June of 2010 for my wedding hair and make-up. She did such a great job! Communicating via e-mail, she was always very prompt to reply to my questions. We did a trial run at her salon a few days before the big day to pinpoint the exact look I was going for. Hubby's jaw dropped when I walked out of the shop (destination wedding so I had to tow him around most places with me!), and when we went next door for some lunch, the waiter asked if I had come from a beauty pageant, lol. She took a few photos from different angles to use as reference for the big day, and was nice enough to e-mail them to me so I could keep them :) On the big day Ellie showed up on time to do my hair/makeup as well as my mom's. She was a joy to talk to and very upbeat during our session. She got us done with plenty of time before my bridesmaids showed up to do pictures. My makeup lasted all night and she gave me a little extra of the lip gloss she used so I could reapply it as it wore off from the eating/drinking. All in all a wonderful experience from start to finish. I wish I could comment more on her other services, but alas since I don't live in the area I haven't been able to try more. Highly recommended! read more

Marie did my hair today and she did exactly what I wanted. It was a pretty big change for me but she was so professional and made me feel very comfortable. She did such a great job and would highly recommend her. read more

This is a review for Ellie & Stacey, who I hired to do hair & makeup for my bridal party and myself on my wedding day. They both did an AMAZING job and I was so, so happy with how everything turned out. Ellie is an absolute magician: first of all, I didn't have a clear vision of what I wanted and showed her a bunch of opposing pictures, but she somehow figured what I wanted. Then, she transformed my usually straight, lifeless hair into beautifully curled, voluminous, and braided that lasted the WHOLE wedding day! I also don't usually wear make up and don't like to wear too much, so Ellie did a great job of making it look natural without overdoing it. I can't say enough good things and I absolutely would hire them again!! read more

Marie is the best! I scheduled and appointment with her completely oblivious to what kind of cut I wanted and she told me about a very specific way to cut curly hair which I had never even heard about before. Every other stylist I went too did the typical wash and cut while wet technique, but Marie showed me the Deva Cut technique!! Me and my curls are definitely grateful we found her! read more

Ellie and her team did my hair and makeup along with the whole wedding party and everyone was so happy and looked so beautiful! Ellie also did my hair and makeup trial (Bride) and my mother in law's trial (mother of the groom)! So happy to have used Ellie and her team! What a beautifully perfect day all around! read more

I walked in with hair like straw and Stacey spun it into gold! I got low lights, cut and a style. Stacey was very knowledgeable and nice to talk to. The price was quite reasonable, a bargain actually for the transformation she created for me. Thank you so much! read more

Had my hair done by Susie three times now and I'm never disappointed. She takes great care to understand your hair needs. She is fast. She gives great head massages too. I love the Salon as well. The salon is very clean and beautifully decorated. Upscale feel!!! The rest of the ladies are awesome. They make you feel at home. I will continue to go to this salon for they do not disappoint. read more

Ellie did an amazing job on my hair and makeup for my wedding day!! She made it look effortless... which is hard because the amount of hair I have usually takes hours to curl, only to fall straight in minutes. But Ellie worked her magic and my hair stayed PERFECT all day! I've never felt more beautiful. Love you Ellie!! read more

A New Twist - Ellie's masterpiece!! My wedding hair - Hair Salons Near Me - Poway, California

I recently moved back to Scripps ranch and was in need of a stylist. I came across a new twist here on yelp. I checked out reviews and their website. Everything looked great! Especially the part it's in Poway- the salon is only a 10 min. Drive! I was matched with Stacey and I'm so thankful to have met her!! I had a grown out ombré and wanted to get my blonde a silver tone. My actual goal is a full baylage/ombré silver/grey/white color. Well, I visited her twice and my hair gets sooo many compliments!! The bottom half is already a pretty silver toned while the top is still a blonde (I came in with my top grown out -some old ombré brassy blonde and my natural color. Which, resulted in having to bleach with foils all on the top.) I also got a cut on my 1st visit and honestly it was the best cut I've gotten in years! When it's down with loose/wavy curls along with the color(s) it looks amazing! My friends couldn't believe how good my hair looked. My hair is pretty long and w all that bleach it managed to stay healthy. I take very good care of it at home, while Stacey uses Olaplex in the salon. Allows my hair to feel/look smooth and bouncy. Plus, Stacey is sooo much fun to talk to during the process! She's friendly and i never get bored in there. She offers me a variety of drinks some alcohol and others regular. I usually take ginger ale. It's soo refreshing! The salon is super cute and they sell amazing hair products and some cute accessories. Including this spray for the bathroom! Lol. It's must staple in your collection of toiletries! I've purchased a conditioner and the bathroom spray. I do plan on purchasing more. I started going the ending of September or first week of October and I went just last week (the week before the weekend before Halloween). I'm planning on going hopefully next week or the following for my hair can be that much closer to the exact color I want it before thanksgiving and of course just the holiday season period in general . So, I plan to go in as many times as I can to achieve my look. Which, isn't easy considering I'm a natural brunette w long hair trying to get all my hair (except my base leaving that natural) a very, very light blonde-silver, grey and white. If you want an amazing stylist that does great hair and keeps you in the loop explaining what they're doing and why. As well as super fun to talk to while getting your hair down. Go to this salon and ask for Stacey!! You won't have to look any further. I'm usually picky w my hair and always looking for a backup just in case, but this time I'm not even looking into other hair salons because I know Stacey will keep my hair looking amazing! I mean how many times have you went in for a trim or cut w long hair and the stylist cut WAY to much off? It happened to me wayyyy to many times. With Stacey before she cut she told me how much she thought was a good amount without losing to much length and even showed me and I agreed. It turned out to be perfect! I love how she actually perfected the long layers! And she managed to blend in my outgrown bangs. So, now my outgrown bangs layer my face perfectly! Especially with the blonde layering it! It just all falls together. This is a style I'll keep for awhile. I can still make my bessy buns, side braids, and my full head of hair in 2 double Dutch braids w no problem! Stacey Thank you if you are reading this! My new stylist cannot be replaced! Sorry. Everyone for the long review, but there is so much positive and I want to explain all good things!! I could go on, but you get the picture. Salon-amazing //Stacey- amazing stylist and super fun and nice // drinks- they really go out of their way to keep us clients relaxed and happy! I can't wait to try out their other deep conditioning services. read more

I was totally blown away by Ellie's work on my hair. I had her do an updo for my wedding. She is incredible. I sent her a picture before I had my hair done of what I was looking for. She gave me some ideas of hair pieces to get to fill in my hair. I got there and she worked her magic. I will recommend her to anyone I know because she did such an amazing job and also in a very timely manner. Thanks for making my big day so special! read more

I very much enjoyed my time at A New Twist today. Great haircut by Jalisa. I enjoyed a glass of wine during my cut. I will definitely be returning. read more

I got an appointment with Susie and she was amazing. I called and the lady that picked up was very nice and even after I hung up I got a text confirmation and she even went as far as sending me Susie's number in case I needed to contact her. I went in and needed Susie to fix the mess from a previous hairstylist at a different place. Susie took the time to hear my needs and what I wanted and she fixed it. It looks amazing! I am looking forward to keep going back to see Susie. Also the facility was clean, it was very welcoming and they know how to treat their customers. The facility also is very relaxing and it just makes you feel pampered from the moment you walk in. I highly recommend it. read more

I've been going to see Miss Jalisa for my cut & color as a loyal customer for over a year. You'll see me back every 2 months! She is personable, kind, and very professional. I am always beyond thrilled with her service, care and how my hair looks and feels once she's done! Trust me when I say you won't be disappointed! It truly says something about her services when I live in LA and I make it a point to drive down to Poway to see Jalisa for my hair services. Yes ladies & gents, she's that good. She also does events (i.e. wedding/prom, etc) which has come in handy! I truly look forward to my next visit in a few weeks! A New Twist is a modern hair salon with a variety of services for all ages. The entire staff always greets you and makes you feel welcome.

I was so thankful for Susie! I walked in and needed a serious fix from a bad haircut I had from somewhere else. She did an amazing job! Also, I have to mention how adorable this salon is. Love love love! read more

Jalisa is great! I was over my last hairstylist who gave me consistently inconsistent results, and since Jalisa seems to have so many fans from A New Twist's Yelp reviews, I sought her out. Scheduling was easy and fast, I was able to get in a few weeks after the date I first messaged. My cut is perfect and I love it! I have moderately curly/wavy hair and blow dry it/flat iron it straight and felt like a model walking out. The salon is really nice and I really enjoyed the experience. read more

Oh my gosh, If you only could see what the ladies at new twist can do. Ellie and her crew are magicians. The work they do with color and the eye for style, it's amazing. I'm always so pleased with how beautiful "my girl" looks when she comes out of a new twist. Thank you again, Shawn read more

I chose Ellie from A New Twist to do hair and makeup for my wedding at the Catamaran Resort in November. Ellie and her assistant did an amazing job. They showed up to the Catamaran on time and were even ahead of schedule (which was much-appreciated on the day of my wedding!). They did hair for my 5 bridesmaids and MIL, makeup for my mom, and my hair and makeup. I have a LOT of curly hair and my sister has even more wavy hair, but Ellie styled both of our hair with ease. All the hairstyles stayed in put all night long through hours of dancing (and even a surprise rainshower!). Both Ellie and her assistant were so sweet and easy-going and amazing at making even the most picky girl happy. I highly recommend Ellie for your wedding hair and makeup! read more

I used to get my hair cut at one of those inexpensive haircut places. I feel like those kinds of places are usually a hit or miss. Sometimes the cut is uneven or bad customer service.I have been trying out different salons to find the right stylist. I decided to try out a new salon to get my hair done. After reading several positive reviews for A New Twist, I made an appointment to get my hair done. I really liked the fact that you can schedule an appointment by phone or text. Their text replies were quick and they made sure that I knew where they were located. When i sat down in my stylist's section, I didn't have a clear idea on how I wanted my hair done. One of my main concerns was to have my hair cut at a manageable length that doesn't cause my hair to frizz up more. I liked that my stylist, Stacey had great suggestions on how to style my hair based on my hair type, which is long, frizzy, thick hair. That is one of my biggest issues is when a stylist cuts too much off and my hair gets poofy. I enjoyed getting my hair washed. Stacey does great scalp massages. read more

Marie does my hair and my moms hair, and she's amazing! She values each of her clients as an individuals and has the experience to do different styles for all ages. Thank you Marie! read more

The service is amazing, all of the hair dressers are friendly and make you feel welcome, and my hair looks fabulous!!!!!!!

Jalissa is amazing she gave me a new haircut and I loved it. I had been going for the cheap under $20 haircuts from mom and pop shops and the occasional Supercuts of fantastic sams but I fell in love with the hair cut and treatment. She responded via txt for an appointment and waited for me as I was running a tad late. I had originally thought of color and cut but changed my mind as my kids had to tag along and I wasn't too convinced on color. Never once did she become pushy or show any signs of being mad because I was only getting a cut vs the combo of cut and color I had originally scheduled. She washed my hair and gave me a massage took her time and listened to what I wanted. I'm new to the area glad I found an awesome stylist will definitely be back thanks Jalissa read more

I have been going to Lindsay Lamm for years and she is AMAZING! I'm very picky when it comes to my hair, and she always manages to wow me! I found out about Lindsay through an ex-coworker who was using her; pretty much every woman at the company was (and still is!) a client of Lindsay's. If you need a stylist, look no further! I also love the salon itself. It's very beautiful, clean, and bright. Even with social distancing measures, this salon is fantastic! read more

Found this little gem in Poway! I was lucky enough to get an appointment w/ Susie.

This is a review for Ellie, who did my hair and makeup on my wedding day! She did an absolutely wonderful job and was so fun to work with! Prior to the day of my wedding, she also did a trial run for my hair and makeup. I don't usually wear any makeup, and she was so patient and good humored through the whole process! I completely trusted her to help me have a more natural, yet elegant look for my wedding. I felt dressed up and special, while still feeling like myself and not over-done. I will certainly be returning for my regular hair cuts as well! Thank you, Ellie! read more

After having my hair done at another salon, which for the most part, it was fine. But I ended up with a weird splotchy spot where highlights should have been. So I decided to try another place. Found A New Twist here on Yelp, they had some great reviews so I decided to give em a shot. I'm so glad I did. Everyone was super friendly & made sure I was very comfy. I really like the atmosphere here. It's cute & cozy. Not like some of those big fancy, expensive salons that I personally don't feel too comfortable in. Jalisa did an amazing job on my hair! She was so nice and made that terrible splotchy mark go away! Thank you so much Jalisa! I'm finally content with my hair! I've finally found MY hair salon! read more

I first got to know Ellie at a friend's wedding several years back. Her and her team did a fabulous job on our hair and makeup. When I got engaged earlier this year, I knew I wanted to book Ellie for the bridal party's hair and makeup. In October for my wedding, 17 of us (bridal party, MOBs, close family and friends) took over the salon for my big day. Ellie allowed us to bring food, drinks, and take control of the music. It was a blast and everyone looked amazing. One of my bridesmaids was also impressed and we recently went back to A New Twist for her wedding - again, great work by her team! I highly recommend Ellie and her team. They do quality work, have a really cute salon and are reasonable! I wouldn't look anywhere else read more

I wish there were more stars to give! I have been seeing Ashley Woodruff for a few years now since she was back at her other salon. It was by chance I had a walk in and she was open and I was so glad that she was. She is amazing at what she does and is super talented. ! We always collaborate on some sort of awesome hair cut or color and anytime I leave her chair I feel like I could run the world with my new hair. She is also super sweet and I always feel like I'm just hanging out with my best friend when I go to see her. This salon is absolutely adorable. When I walked in it was not what I was expecting and Im glad she found such a great spot. Its a great location and I felt right at home as soon as I walked in. If you are ever looking to for an amazing hair cut and great service Ashley is your girl! read more

First off Ellie is the best and super sweet! When I met her for my trial she completely understood the look I was going for and even gave me a couple of options. Day of, Ellie and her team were on time and extremely friendly and accommodating to what each girl wanted. Ellie did my wedding hair and makeup while her colleagues did the bridesmaids, and mom's hair and makeup. They truly did a great job! My bridesmaids were very happy with their hair and makeup, and I loved the airbrush makeup, it lasted all night! Ellie even stuck around until after the ceremony to give me an up do. I would highly recommend A New Twist, and Ellie for your event! Also, I now go to Ellie for all my haircuts and color needs. She is awesome! Not to mention that the salon is super cute! read more

I've been going to Marie at A New Twist for six months now and she is amazing! She has been so understanding of what I'm looking for and is very accommodating with my crazy work schedule.
