This review is for Brooke Congalves:…read more I'm new to the area and had been searching for a new hairstylist, which can honestly be nerve-racking when you've been searching from someone you can trust with your hair for years. I don't have access to social media, so I ended up finding Brooke through Yelp and I am SO happy I did! I reached out to her by text and she responded almost immediately. Before my appointment, I sent her a photo of my current hair along with a few inspiration pictures of what I was hoping to achieve. Right from the beginning, communication was easy and I felt like she understood what I was looking for. The salon itself is adorable clean, welcoming, and has a really cute modern feel. When I met Brooke, she took the time to actually look at my hair and talk with me about my goals. One of the most important things to me is keeping my hair healthy because I'm trying to grow it long which has taken some time. She was very upfront that getting exactly where I ultimately want to be would be a process, and I REALLY appreciated that instead of trying to do too much in one appointment. She respected the integrity and health of my hair while still getting me incredibly close to my inspiration photos. Brooke was also just genuinely nice and easy to talk to. The entire appointment was comfortable, relax and I was in and out in about three hours, which was another huge plus. She's also only about a 15-minute drive from my house, so finding someone this close who I actually trust with my hair feels like hitting the jackpot! Her pricing was very affordable, but to be completely honest, the quality of her work was beyond! If you're looking for someone who listens to what you want, is realistic about the process, cares about maintaining the health and integrity of your hair, and can actually deliver what you show her in an inspiration photo, go see Brooke. So happy I found MY new stylist. 10/10. Absolutely recommend!

I can't say enough good things about Charlene and Launa!…read more I was attending a wedding at a Temecula winery and wanted to be done up for the occasion. Charlene handled my hair and Launa did my makeup, and together they nailed it. Charlene guided me on adding curl but not too much volume. I was very happy with the result. Launa's makeup was equally awesome. She made me feel put together without my makeup being heavy or overdone. It held up beautifully through a long evening and I received a lot of compliments. Both ladies were professional, warm, attentive, and invested in making sure I loved the final result. They listened to what I wanted and delivered just that. I left feeling confident, beautiful, and ready for a gorgeous wedding. I would absolutely book Charlene and Launa again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for hair and makeup artists who are talented, professional, and a pleasure to work with. Thank you both for helping make the weekend so special!

The whole process took about 4-5 hours but, it was worth it because I had dark hair. I kept getting COMPLIMENTS from all my piano students, family and friends... I never thought my hair could look this sexy! It felt so light and fluffy afterwards. She really took her time and showed a lot of PASSION in her work which is why I'm happy to take the time to write her a nice review... She is definitely the front runner of the salon and this salon was a hidden gem located between ROSS and KOHLS... I highly recommend Brandi! She will also GUIDE you on what products to use to keep your hair healthy before and after the appointment. I used the shampoo and conditioner she recommended and my hair started to shine and my scalp felt less dry and itchy... She really knows what she is doing and also TEACHES Balayage! I can't wait to get to do another session with her next time because I want to go even lighter for the Spring/Summer time! So happy I found her!

They also have a little bar with tea, coffee and bottled water they offer to guests. The staff here all seem as warm, knowledgeable and attentive as Becca and are highly professional stylists.

I went to this salon based on a recommendation and booked with Ashley P. Unfortunately, I left…read moreextremely disappointed with both the result and how the situation was handled. My service was fairly straightforward: an all-over brown color with a red/copper undertone and a trim. I specifically explained that I wanted a copper undertone rather than a purple-toned red. There were no highlights or foils. After the first color application and wash, Ashley apparently noticed an issue before I had even seen my hair and began correcting it. Once she dried a section, I was finally able to see the color myself, and my roots were noticeably bright/glowing red. She mentioned that the salon lighting was making it appear worse and took me outside to look at it. For context, my appointment started on time at 2:30 PM, and it was after 5:30 PM before I was able to see the color for the first time. At that point, I had already been there for three hours for an all-over color and trim and needed to get home to my kids. Ashley offered to continue color correcting it, but because of the time, we agreed she would adjust the roots and I would leave with wet hair. I went back to the bowl for another application, my hair was washed and towel dried, and I paid and left. Once I got home and dried my hair, my roots were still very bright red. The photos attached to this review were taken after I got home. What made the experience especially frustrating was the $400 total: $275 for the all-over color and $125 for the trim. I messaged Ashley afterward to explain that I was unhappy with the result and asked whether any of the additional attempts to correct the color had been included in what I was charged. She explained the pricing and offered for me to return so she could attempt another color correction free of charge. I was also told there would be no full or partial refund. At that point, I declined. After spending $275 specifically on an all-over color, sitting in the salon for more than three hours, and already having multiple attempts made to correct it, I prefer to return to the stylist that I know will get it right and save myself the time and further disappointment. I understand that hair color doesn't always turn out perfectly on the first application. I've had that happen at my usual salon. The difference, for me, is how it's handled afterward. In those instances, the issue was corrected quickly and successfully. I don't expect perfection every time, but at this price point, I do expect the finished result to reasonably resemble what was discussed--or for there to be a meaningful resolution when it doesn't. A few additional observations about the salon itself: it was extremely loud, to the point that having a conversation with my stylist was difficult. While I was there, another stylist had food delivered and appeared visibly irritated with the delivery driver because utensils weren't included, walking away shaking her head. I found that interaction uncomfortable and unprofessional to witness. My back also became soaked while I was at the shampoo bowl, and Ashley mentioned that this happens frequently because of the chairs they have. I do want to give credit where it's due: the salon was kept clean, and I repeatedly saw stylists cleaning not only their own stations but helping clean one another's as well. There seemed to be good teamwork in that regard. Unfortunately, cleanliness doesn't outweigh leaving after more than three hours, paying $400 for an all-over color and trim, and still having to go elsewhere to have the color corrected. I won't be returning and will be going back to my stylist at another salon. Lesson learned.

I'm so happy I found a hairdresser in Temecula who genuinely understands hair! It can be really…read moredifficult to find someone who knows how to cut and style thin hair without making it look even finer, but Rosey absolutely gets it. She takes the time to understand what you want while also recommending what will actually work for your hair type. My hair always looks fuller, healthier and so much easier to manage after seeing her. She's incredibly knowledgeable about hair not only balayage, highlights, color and cuts, she knows how to create shape and volume without taking away the precious hair you do have! If you're looking for a hairdresser in Temecula who takes the time to listen to what you need, does not get scissor happy, cares about the condition of your hair and has a lovely presence with a beautiful private, airy salon, I genuinely couldn't recommend Rosey more. Finding someone locally who really understands all hair types has made such a difference for me!

I tried the AlmaTED non-invasive red light hair growth treatment at Mastery of Hair with Rosey in…read moreTemecula, and I'm honestly blown away. I've been dealing with thinning hair from stress and early pre-menopause, and it's really taken a toll on my hair and confidence. I was curious but also a little nervous going in... and then I felt nothing. Zero pain. It literally felt like a gentle scalp massage with light vibration--so relaxing that it felt more like self-care than a treatment. The process was fast, easy, and I went right on with my day like nothing happened. No downtime at all. This is new hair technology, completely non-invasive, and such an easy yes compared to anything surgical or scary. Rosey recommends a series of 3 treatments, with an annual maintenance treatment for optimal results, which feels totally doable--especially since it's painless. I loved it so much that my husband had the treatment done too. I'm really excited to see my results and can't wait to come back and update this review once my hair starts growing in. If this works the way the research says it does, I honestly don't know why anyone would ever choose hair transplants again. Rosey is incredibly knowledgeable, genuinely cares, and is always ahead of the game. Highly recommend.

I was hoping for a positive experience at Salon MK with Giselle Q, but I left very disappointed…read more The photos clearly speak for themselves but here's what happened-- When I first reached out to Salon MK in June, I was connected with Giselle and specifically requested a light brown, neutral balayage. We booked a balayage ($280) and a haircut ($85). I sent photos of my hair and several reference photos. During the appointment, she explained that balayage is essentially highlights, which made me a bit nervous, as I understand it to be more of a blended, ombré-style look. Still, I trusted her professional judgment. Unfortunately, the final result looked nothing like my reference photos..... The highlights leaned much more yellow and brown rather than the neutral tones I had requested, and they were also uneven, with some highlight sections noticeably thicker than others. The haircut itself was uneven, and the top layers were longer than the bottom section. She offered to fix it, which I appreciated, but by that point I already felt uneasy. I decided to give her a second chance since she was willing to fix the uneven haircut, so I went back in October for an all-over color before an important work event. I was very clear and specific about what I wanted and provided several reference photos beforehand- a dark, natural brown with subtle purple/reddish undertones. I explicitly asked to avoid black, copper, blonde, vivid red or purple tones, and NO highlights. We discussed this thoroughly, and I even said that if there was any hesitation, I'd prefer to play it safe with a darker brown balayage instead. Giselle reassured me she could achieve the color....... Unfortunately, the result was again nothing close to what I requested. My hair turned out coppery brown/red and still showed highlights, which I had specifically asked to avoid. I felt embarrassed going to my event with it. When I reached out the next day with photos, I was told that the custom conditioner I purchased should temporarily fix the issue. This was frustrating, as a conditioner with very minimal pigmentation shouldn't be relied on to correct a $165 color service, especially after I left a 20+% tip out of kindness. Overall, the results did not align at all with what we discussed or the reference photos I provided. My concerns weren't resolved, and I ultimately had to attempt to fix my hair myself before the event. Everyone's experience is different, but I wanted to share mine so others can make the decision that feels right for them and choose a stylist they feel 1000% confident with.

Over the past week, I've sent a DM on Instagram, called the salon and requested a callback twice, and even texted -- all with zero response. I get that it's the busy holiday season, but even a quick "we're fully booked" would've been so appreciated! I'm pretty particular about my hair and I did my homework before choosing this spot, so I was genuinely excited. I'm not one to leave a bad review, but the silence has been a little disappointing.
