"Hair is everything. We wish it wasn't, so we could think about something else occasionally, but it is. It's the difference between a good day and a bad day. We're meant to think it is a symbol of power, a symbol of fertility, some people are exploited for it and it pays your fucking bills. Hair. Is. Everything." -Fleabag, S2 If you're a bride looking for a wedding party stylist, don't take this review into consideration. Why? Okay, you can continue reading, it's your waste of time. tl;dr - if you hire Ashlan for an updo/style where you're just one customer, her schedule is at the whim of the larger party she originally booked. You may be thinking, "well yes, that sounds reasonable." And yes, it would be. In fact, it is! Her booking is her prerogative, it's her work and she's entitled to that. That isn't what this is about. This is about her accepting a booking over a month before and then bailing literally last minute in a town booked out for months, leaving the person she's now fucked over to either frantically call every stylist in a 30 mile radius (none of whom are available), or achieve enlightenment and fully let go of their ego in the next 24 hours. No one gets their hair done for any other reason than to look AND feel good. To cover up the grays we are not ready to accept, to frame our faces a bit better and accentuate our smiles, or to free ourselves from the patriarchy/taking control of circumstances of losing it through chemo (usually by shave/cutting it super short). It has always begun and ended with empowerment and for that it deserves so much more respect between vendor and customer, both ways. I have my own sob story as to why I booked a medium length updo in the Old Hollywood style for my brother-in-law's wedding, but I'm not sure it matters. It doesn't. I booked Ashlan over a month in advance, gave my style inspiration pictures, got her approval, and checked in to make sure things were still good. She confirmed the time and then 10 days later, at 3:19p on Friday the day before the appointment, messaged me that her schedule got pushed back to later in the afternoon. I was understanding and cordial through text, asked if we could have an earlier appointment (to no response), but it wasn't time for enlightenment so in my hotel room I had a complete breakdown. My dumbass, having trusted the time was booked, didn't bring any hair tools with me (rest assured I won't be making this mistake again). I went to the rehearsal dinner thanking god it was still light out so I could wear my sunglasses and give my eyes more time to look like I hadn't been crying. Maybe you're reading this and think, wow this bitch is dramatic. Yes, that's exactly what this feels like - how did you know? No, it's not okay to put your entire emotional self onto someone else. But a) I would have written this review as 1 star; ghosted regardless of my reaction, and b) as fucking if you think you're the only 100% forever stable person reading this, good for you. Here's a gold star for your enlightenment. This is for the rest of us who know that weddings are stressful, full of pictures, bound to bend even the most stoic individual, and aren't lying to ourselves that we aren't eventually going to have this same fun time when something goes wrong. During MY wedding my toddler ring bearer lost the ring and started bawling in front of everyone, who all began a mad dash to find it. It's a toddler, y'all - I just hugged him and promised it'd be okay and started laughing so he'd feel better. Ashlan, however, is not a toddler. She made a grown up business choice: wedding party = more $$$, and the extra $$ she would have earned doing my updo earlier in the morning when she had time just wasn't worth whatever reason she has. If she had one, she never verbalized it - she just ghosted. I mean 2 hours later on Friday, in what can only be described as emotional whiplash, she messaged she was actually going to end up doing the updo and would text me in the morning but nothing ever came. I thanked her profusely, checked in, offered to make a deposit, no response, no message in the morning. I waited all day for her to reach out (and yes, I checked in). She raised my hopes and dashed them quite expertly. So, if you're a bridal party booking, have all the confidence she'll actually come through for you. If you're someone like me, then I either highly recommend you look elsewhere, or you better begin to namaste. read more

An amazing THANK YOU to Cara for helping this visiting Mother of the Groom!! On Thursday I reached out to 5-6 salons for a wash and blow dry for a wedding on Saturday. Cara was kind enough to call me back, and I'm lucky that she did! I showed her a picture, and she made it happen. I felt so beautiful and got so many compliments. Thank you for helping me, Cara! read more

Gina was great! She listened to my hair issues (curly on top, straight on bottom) and gave me a great cut for my texture. She's really friendly and you can tell she's had many years of experience. I had to move out of the area but am planning on going back for a cut during my next visit -- it's hard to find someone that cuts my layers properly! read more

I moved to the Central Coast about 1 1/2 years ago and honestly, I was nervous about trying somewhere new to get my hair done. I have extremely difficult, naturally curly hair and have had many bad haircuts. Cara Gillett is absolutely amazing! She really "knows" curly hair, which is very difficult. If you cut it wrong, it's a 3 month disaster. I just had the best haircut and highlights from her! I will not go to anyone else ever again! Plus, the salon is so welcoming and has such trendy decor! I love it there! read more

My daughter wanted a new haircut for school. We had been to you before, and were happy when we left. So, I wanted take her back. Her Autism causes her stress, and I thought taking her back to where she'd been before would help reduce any stress she might be feeling. She was really looking forward to getting her hair cut. I'd called twice for an appointment for her, never got a call back. We came in the next morning at 9am, only 1 hairdresser in the shop. We'd hoped to do a walk-in for her. I was told that the other hairdressers would be in soon, and my # was written down. We went about our other tasks, expecting a call. Didn't happen, so we walked back over. NO ONE EVEN BOTHERED TO NOTICE US! Not one person in that shop even bothered to say " Hello, we booked for today" As far as I can tell, my money is just as green as anyone else's. Maybe someone would have paid more attention if I was wearing D&G when I walked in. Well I only wear that when I'm hanging with... well, I won't drop names. read more

Beehive is always very welcoming and friendly. Aja has been doing my hair for years and I wouldn't consider going any where else!

Gina is awesome! I am very picky about my hair (cut, highlights, color), and she did it perfectly the first time! I feel like I also have a new friend. It is a friendly, fun, and relaxing atmosphere with quality services and fair prices. I will be going back for sure! read more

Gina is the best color specialist I have ever had. I love my hair when I walk out the door.

Ashlan is amazing! She has been doing my hair for a while now and as always, I love it each and everytime. However, I have to point out how amazing g she is with wedding hair!!! She did my hair and my bridesmaids hair the day of our wedding. She travelled to us, arrived early and was perfect at executing each style we wanted. She is a treat and a joy to work with! I cannot thank her enough! She recommended our make up artist, Jael, to us and she was outstanding as well! read more

What a fantastic experience! I have lived in Paso Robles for over 5 years but had been driving up to the bay area to my old stylist the entire time I've been here. I finally decided I had to find someone locally to cut my hair. After talking to almost every woman I know... and going through many many yelp reviews for many many local salons... I decided to give Beehive a shot... I am so glad I did! I walked in and was greeted very warmly by a woman working on a client... I felt comfortable and not at all like I was an intruder... she called Aja out to talk with me... I explained that I needed something done with my hair... Aja spoke with me for quite awhile to understand what I wanted and what my expectations were... she asked if I had time to wait a few minutes and she could take me then... Aja was wonderful... she gave me an outstanding cut and style and honestly lifted my spirits... I feel great after my experience at Beehive... read more
