Excellent! Super helpful recommendations on style. Helpful haircare advice. I've received lots of compliments on my new do.

I was excited to try a new colorist, I brought my recipe to Sandy and was thrilled with the results! She took the time to truly care

This is the only place out of the many salons I've called that I've actually talked to an actual person. Don't get me wrong, I do not mind automatic or smart answering machines as long as you can actually address my inquiries or concerns directly or they are quick to respond back after trying to book an appointment. Anyway, I spoke with someone and got a schedule for the next day shortly after. Went there (almost closing time) and was amazed by how spacious, beautiful and organized the place was. The stylist was very kind, friendly and welcoming. I did notice that the salon was a little too dark for the service rendered but I did not question it or thought anything of it. Went home and there were a couple strands of hair that were longer than the length I asked for. Like, about 5-10 strands. Not a big deal, I managed to cut them to the current length after but it was definitely annoying. LOL! Overall, I loved my haircut and my experience and I will definitely be back. read more

So, let me tell you about my trip to Atomic Kitten. Michael, the stylist, is nothing short of amazing. I walked in with my usual long, kinda dull hair, and walked out feeling like a million bucks. I didn't really know what I wanted, just something healthy-looking that would last through the weekend event I was going to. I left it up to Michael, and boy, did he deliver! I trusted him to do what he thought was best, and he totally nailed it. My hair looked incredible, and it felt so fresh and lively. I'm not one to gush, but seriously, I'm making this an annual thing. Michael's the real deal, and if you want a down-to-earth stylist who works magic with hair, he's your guy. Definitely recommending Michael Abney to all my friends! *I'll add more photos from the event if I remember to take pics!* read more

8 minutes ago NEW I was told this was "pretty close" to what I wanted by the owner, Ramona. I was told Natasha (hairdresser who did my hair) was going to reach out for possible refund but have not heard anything back. I paid $400 and $100 for deposit for toner session after seeing this mess. In fact, I did not get my deposit. I now need a color correction from this patchy work. read more

the last 2 times i've been in i get butchered. i show a few reference photos and they get dismissed and the hairdresser proceeds to cut as they see fit. they don't ask if i like the cut and when i ask for any adjustments i get one adjustment in and then they let me loose. read more

Made an appointment at Atomic Kitten Salon a few weeks in advance for 9am on a Friday, knowing that it would take some time to cut my Rapunzel hair, bleach it, then color it blue. I was given an appointment with Petra and oh my goodness, what an AMAZING experience. When I arrived, they had just opened the doors, so it was pretty empty, but I didn't wait long and Petra introduced herself, asked about what I wanted and took me into her private backroom space. I brought screenshots and photos for reference, which made communicating simple. Petra immediately knew what to do and how to do it, and she was the absolute nicest and easiest woman to talk to. Not only is Petra incredibly talented and can do nails and teeth whitening and skin care, she's also a complete blast to talk to! I've had some bad experiences in the past with people not being able to cut my Asian hair correctly, but Petra handled my hair beautifully and was even careful around my cartilage ear piercings, not combing over them even once! All in all, I spent 4 hours in Petra's chair and it went by in a flash! I left looking and feeling sexy af! And I won't be going to any other stylist in Bakerfield, for sure. I'm a lifetime Petra fan! read more

It was my first time here, Teanna took care of me, and I was pleased with my experience with her specifically. Also, the salon itself was clean, open, and I felt comfortable during my few hours there. I had my hair lightened and dyed, and it was my first time having it professionally done. The color came out great in my opinion. Teanna did well, plus she was chill and easygoing. read more

Nice place, very friendly staff. Cautious.but the haircut at the back of the head is a failure. I had asked for the nape of the neck to be shaved about 2 inches high but it was not done. And above all I was shown the front in the mirror but not the back. It's a shame! read more

Tonya Murrel best hair stylist in Bakersfield, always pleases her clients to what they want, I have recommended all my friends and family

Sandra was my hair dresser, she's amazing, she takes time and in her work! She also listens to me and what I care about!

Been going there for about a year. Adorable retro feel. Maria does an amazing job on my hair and my daughter's. Daughter gets color and it's perfect, even and doesn't wash out. She has curly hair with a mind of its own and Maria gives her a wonderful cut that keeps it in line. I have straight short hair and like it textured. Maria's cut is great from day one and still looks good 5-6 weeks later. Can't recommend the salon and Maria enough. read more

I've been to Atomic Kitten several times before and have never had a bad experience. Both the stylists I have had experiences with were punctual and attentive, ensuring I was happy with my results. I've gotten my hair cut my Cheryl and she was amazing. She probably gave me the best bangs I have ever had. read more

Whenever someone asks where to get there hair done, I have two places in mind. This is one of them. I've come here over the years and have gotten great service everytime. If you are lucky enough to score a walk in, fantastic, but rare. Its much better to call them at least a week or two before to schedual what you want. The people are nice, you can tell the people like to work there. It's just a fun overall environment. read more

Called early in the morning and got me an appointment one hour later. Got my hair cut and done today by Lynsie and I love it! She was so awesome and considerate to what I wanted and asked for. Will definitely be coming back soon read more

Woke up to an identity crisis tired of an overgrown ombré, split ends and dead hair. One of those impulse days where you like wanna grab some household scissors and go to town. Luckily I snapped out of it and rationalized with myself to call a few places to see if I can get a same day appointment. Figured no one would take me, but thought I would take my chance. So so so so thankful Atomic Kitten scheduled me for the same day with Petra. She brought me back to life and resurrected my hair from the dead. Sweetest personality, so fun to talk to and has so much experience in the industry. Someone you can definitely trust with her years of experience and warm welcoming demeanor reading exactly what your life needs in a moment of hair despair. Such a great experience and will definitely be a repeat client. Thank you for helping this soon to be mama feel gorgeous in her third trimester! read more

My moms hair is very thin and she is transitioning into full gray. she takes the time style it and make my mom feel beautiful! read more

I did have a bad experience here once in the past that's why I gave it a four. BUT I'm the type of person who switches up my hair dressers for whatever reason. Usually I feel like they get too comfortable and don't do as good of a job. I didn't know who to go to because I was going to pretty pricey places and just thinking that my hair was just okay. So I decided to go back to Ramona because I only stopped going to her salon because of another hair dresser. I never thought she slacked on my hair and she did an amazing job. Her prices are pretty reasonable and I was satisfied with my hair. I received lots of compliments on it. read more

Micheal gave me a haircut. I just wanted bangs. Not a difficult thing to ask, but he cut them crooked. I didn't notice until I got home. I had to go somewhere else to get them fixed. Not only did he over charge for such a simple haircut but had the nerve to ask for a good review. He wasnt friendly. He had the personality of a wet noodle. My advice to Micheal is your only as good as your last haircut. Here's your review. read more

Ramona (owner) did a beautiful beige blonde color (full weave) on me, and the price was fair - definitely not expensive. I know the salon is more known for their trendy cuts and colors, but all of their clients when I was there were going blonde for the summer. So blondes should feel super comfortable coming here! I also liked the salon vibe - Think famous old frames newspaper clippings about Elvis and Marilyn. The staff were overall entertaining and, the conversation focused away from the usual obnoxious salon talk. Ramona is also a character, and I loved her big hair, oversized glasses, tie die shirt, and bell bottoms! Thank you Ramona! I'll be back! read more

Atomic Kitten Salon - Beige Blonde by Ramona - Hair Salons Near Me - Bakersfield, California

I liked this salon at first. The stylist did a great job the 1st couple times and then things went downhill. More than once I showed up for my appointment and the stylist wasn't there. So.eone there called her for me and found out she had totally forgotten about it. The last time I went there she was extremely late, rushed my highlights and seemed like she was in a hurry to leave. My hair came out an ugly brassy orange color that I went somewhere else to get fixed. read more

I left very satisfied with my much needed haircut and color. And shout out to her other stylist for hyping me up on my way home with the amazing new look. read more

Tanya has been cutting my hair forever! She is consistent, friendly, clean, knowledgeable, and efficient. She will listen to your ideas, and be honest with you about the nature of your hair. She can do modern and classic styles. She takes cash, credit, or electronic payments which is helpful. Childhood through your silver years, she's got you! She is a new face to atomic kitten lineup, but has over 30 years of experience doing full service. You may have previously met her at Regis (Master Cuts) at the Valley Plaza mall. They suddenly shut down at the first of the year with no warning to the stylist. read more

Malia is the bomb! I'm a regular with her, and she has never disappointed! I've done may different things with her (including undercuts, purple hair, silver hair, and even helping me with the process of growing out my hair), and she always gets it right. She's always does her best, and takes extra time and precautions to make sure that your hair comes out exactly as she planned. Not only is she good at what she does, but she is also a fun person to talk to and so sweet! Overall, I love the salon (especially the theme and decor) as well as the atmosphere and results. I don't trust anywhere else but here. I've attached the best pics I could find of her work. read more
