    My experiences at Be Kekoa have always been professional, pleasant, and even uplifting--they've had me laughing more than once. Kai, Mary, Brandie, and Ty are consistently welcoming, greeting me with genuine smiles and kindness. I always feel at home here, and I'm truly grateful to have found this salon.

    I had such an amazing time at Be Kekoa. I was recommended by a few people when I asked about curly cuts, so I decided to give them a try and I'm so glad I did! I had just given birth to my daughter, was feeling a lack of confidence, and needed a boost to feel like myself again. As soon as I arrived to the salon, I was met with smiles, warmth, and love. I had the privilege of meeting Brandie, Ty, Kayulani, and Ms. Mary, and their personalities literally changed my life. It sounds cliché, but they helped me transform into the woman I am today. Brandie provided me with a curly cut, trim, and color which also included a wash and hydration treatment. When I say she treated my curls with LOVE!!! I had not had an experience like that before. Brandie asked me many questions about my curls, daily hair routines, and what my goals were. Simple questions I couldn't answer because I hadn't been too knowledgable regarding my hair and I began to feel shy and ashamed. Brandie encouraged me, rid of my shame, and we built a plan together. At the end of my service, I bought the Be Kekoa hair products, which are amazing for my curls and have the best smell! Needless to say, by the time I left the salon, I felt as though I had new family. No longer was I feeling insecure or shame, but I felt whole and new. I felt beautiful. Thank you Be Kekoa, Brandie, Ty, Kayulani, and Ms. Mary, for not only healing my curls, but for healing me. I will continue to spread the word about how amazing you are! 10/10, highly recommend.

    I wanted to provide an update on my experience at the salon with regard to coloring. I went in there with the picture of a hair color that I wanted, and I walked out with exact color maybe even better for me and my complexion they were kind and nice and they really knew what they were doing. I don't know cosmetology but they seem to know what they were doing when mixing the proper colors together. I'd say I'm a very happy customer and if you have any thoughts about coming to the salon? I highly recommend it if you want to work with somebody experience in curly hair.

    Wonderful energy, all the staff were so nice, love my cut! Haven't had my hair cut in over a decade and I was very nervous, but left absolutely satisfied

    One of the best curly haircuts I've had! My hairstylist of 10+ years is no longer doing hair and recommended Be Kekoa multiple times for their hair products and to get my hair done. When my hairstylist closed her salon, she recommended I finally try Be Kekoa out and I'm so glad I did. I drove from San Diego to Temecula and I'll do it over and over as I'm so happy with how it came out. I had braids in my hair and kept them in for too long so my hair texture was damaged a bit. I got a treatment to address the damage and a scalp treatment as I have severely itchy scalp. I left with a tingly fresh scalp with not a dandruff in sight and my hair on day 1 looked great but day 3-4 was amazing. I've added a picture of my hair right after the hair cut & style and then 2 photos from family photos I took after restyling my hair a week later. I'm in love with the shape! Ms. Brandy is so friendly and fun. She has a wealth of knowledge about natural hair and gave my hair the VIP treatment. The salons prices are so reasonable and well below prices I've seen anywhere even in the I.E. or even the Temecula area. I ended up buying some products too which I love, the scalp serum and the exfoliating shampoo bar. Can't wait to go back to get a color service

    This is a long review but completely worth reading! I initially found Be Kekoa after booking a destination venue at a vineyard in Temecula, CA. I wanted to wear my natural curls for my bridal hair and have a natural hair/texture aesthetic for my bridal party. Several months ahead of the wedding I reached out to Be Kekoa- first via email then I followed up with a phone call. I recommend contacting the salon via phone with a follow up email to receive a quick response. I was connected with Kai who was available to do my hair for my 8/10/24 wedding. The phone consultation was incredibly pleasant and Kai was a true professional. She went out of her way to book a hair trial that coincided with our venue tasting so I didn't have to make an additional trip to Temecula. The salon is located in downtown Temecula- only 15 minutes from most of the vineyards so it was easy to travel to on the day of the trial and wedding. During my trial Kai discussed my hair inspiration and worked with my texture to achieve the desired look. She even gave me a much needed trim- taking care to discuss how much she recommended removing and respecting the length I was willing to cut. For my curly/coil textures you understand how important this is- I am no stranger to someone cutting off several inches when I only agreed to a "trim." Kai frequently checked in to make sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process and I was very happy with the end result. During the session she noted the products we used and discussed additional recommendations prevent frizz on the day of the wedding. The Be Kekoa product line (which they use in the salon) is terrific, curl safe, and is available on the website for easy shipping to stock up. By the end of the trial Kai discussed a proposed day of timeline so I could easily coordinate with my makeup artist. In fact, she even recommended a make up artist who worked in the area that specialized in skin of color (who I ended up booking and wrote a separate google review for). I was so happy with the result I even asked my bridal party if they wanted to book with Be Kekoa for the wedding. My MOH (seen in pictures with me) and 3 nieces all decided to book with Kai who was able to accommodate them. Because my nieces have lots of hair, both Brandi and Kai did their twist outs the day before the wedding. They handled working with 3 young girls (ages 3, 7, and 9) who never have been to a salon extremely well. My eldest niece struggles with her coily texture and Brandi made her feel more confident with her affirmation cards. By the end of the session she was smiling and you could feel the joy radiating off of her. The next day Kai came in at 7am sharp to work her magic on both my MOH and I. My hair came out exactly as we discussed and Kai finished early. With her extensive knowledge of different textures and curl patterns she also nailed my sister's hair as well, despite not having a prior trial. The pricing was established well ahead of time, was extremely transparent and reasonable for the services provided- less than $800 for all of us (this includes bridal hair with a wash/glaze/style/steam, MOH wash/style/steam, twist outs with wash/steam for 3 girls). In short I'd like to give a big thanks to Kai, Brandi and Be Kekoa. My hair was perfect and my nieces/MOH looked beautiful! I absolutely recommend Be Kekoa for your special events or if you're looking for a curly/texture hair salon. When I visit my friends in the area I will be stopping in for a hair fix with Kai and Brandi!

    Brandy is absolutely amazing! She provided both my daughter and me with the best treatment and curly cuts we've ever had. I trust her 100% with my curls, and she delivered exactly what I wanted for my cut. Throughout the process, Brandy communicated with me, making sure I felt comfortable and confident with my curls every step of the way. Her expertise and attention to detail truly shine through in her work. I want to highlight Brandy's exceptional talent in hair care. After dyeing my hair blonde and then chocolate brown, my hair became extremely dry. Brandy worked her magic and brought it back to life. When I first visited her in June 2023, she cut most of the damaged hair out. I initially considered a big chop, because my hair was so dry but I was scared to cut my hair. Brandy recommended a treatment and taught me how to properly style and care for my hair. Her recommendation was spot-on. My hair was very healthy and kept growing. In February 2024 I wanted to cut the rest of the dyed hair off and she gave me my favorite cut to this day, and I absolutely love it. I highly recommend Brandy to anyone looking for exceptional care for their hair. Thank you, Brandy, for your outstanding service!

But coming to Salon de Cheveux and having my hair cut by Faith completely changed that. I was really nervous based on my last salon visit, but this time, I felt so comfortable and so happy with my haircut! I never write reviews, but I just had to come here and say--you should definitely get your hair cut here! The salon is beautiful and clean, and I was able to book a next-day Saturday appointment so easily online. My experience was amazing, and I'll absolutely be coming back! This is a picture of my hair an hour later while eating lunch the curls stayed and it looked so gorgeous!
