Great products + relaxing ambiance + great stylist = a winning hair pampering experience…read more I found this salon about two years ago when I was looking for an Aveda salon. I had a lot of requirements out of a new salon and this fit the bill: My salon requirements: 1) I was only looking for an Aveda salon because of their products and their philosophy. I love the Aveda products - they are not harsh on hair and are made with botanicals, many of which are certified organic and are ethically sourced. I have been going to more green and natural products lately and Aveda products are healthier for me, my hair, the environment, and the world, I hope, so there wasn't any other salon I was considering. Plus, they use recycled packaging and manufacture with 100% wind power. They also give back to causes I believe in such as their Aveda earth month campaign where they raise money for clean water and other causes. 2) A stylist that was skilled at doing blonde coloring. In going to different salons over the years, it seems that there are quite a few people out there that aren't great at executing blonde coloring - I have had my hair break off, have had it turn out slightly green or orange - it seems that there are a lot of things that can go wrong. I haven't had the problem at slightly pricier salons, but it is definitely something that I look for when choosing a new stylist. 3) Not too expensive. I previously went to the Robert Crommeans salon downtown, which was a beautiful location and they did a good job, but I hated the products, the services were very expensive, and the hair color was very harsh on my hair and kept it from growing. While I wasn't looking for a Supercuts, I was looking to pay less than I was previously. And I can't even believe it, but after years of it not growing past a certain length, it has grown several inches. 4) A stylist I enjoyed getting my hair done with. It is always difficult to change salons because picking up a new stylist is like finding a new friend - you want someone you enjoy speaking to and that you get along with. I was lucky to find Shiva who is so nice and so funny and who really listens to you and does a good job. I like how my hair looks and feel like I have a new friend at the salon. I also started getting my eyebrows done for the first time ever since I started going to this salon. I was previously scared, terrified even, of getting my brows done. Not only am I not very pain tolerant - I can't even pluck a single hair off my brows - I didn't want to mess my brows up and have them look funny the rest of my life - I have seen too many instances of that and who wants to mess with that? Plus, I have blonde hair and for the most part, blonde eyebrows, so I didn't think I needed to really get them done. Shiva suggested it one time, and I am so happy I got it done. I can't believe what a huge difference it makes to how you look! I am probably preaching to the choir to anyone who is reading this, but I seriously can never go back now. However, I will still be wary about finding a skilled brow-master if I ever have to leave this salon. So I am very happy about choosing this salon and think Shiva is a wonderful stylist. There isn't anything I don't like about the salon.

I like this place so much that after going regularly, Mary and Vida inspired me to become an…read moreesthetician and join their team. I no longer do skin-care or even work in the beauty industry, but I drive from downtown to have Vida do my color and cut. I love that Mary and Vida often collaborate on their clients and will ask each other's opinion on color. They are both geniuses. If you live in the area you should definitely try Aura. Vida and her sister Shiva grew up in their mother's beauty parlor in Iran and they both know how to thread (the best hair removal). I'm in love with my color today. Vida used three different colors to give me what I want. I needed low maintenance low-lights because I can't go there every six weeks. I go only once a quarter now because I am a new mom and I can't sit in the chair for three hours perfecting blonde highlights. What I love about Vida is that she won't cut your hair if you don't need it nor will she color it if she thinks you still look good. She's turned me away a few times, telling me my hair looks healthy and that I shouldn't mess with it. I am friends with these women because I was first a client with them and just love being around them. That's how I've always been with my hairdressers and if I move to a new city, finding their replacement will be difficult.

I generally go to the Great Clips in Pacific Highlands (Carmel Valley), but i was in Poway today…read more... and in need of a haircut. So, around 3 pm, I looked up the wait time here in Poway Plaza, and it was zero. Five minutes away, I headed over and was seated immediately. There was no other customer in the shop then and all during the time I was here Issac gave me a great haircut. He's personable and knows his cuts. I'll definitely ask for him again. All in, including tip and a $5 coupon, my Senior Haircut cost $22 plus tip. I really liked my haircut and the vibe in this shop. Try them. The shop is located next to the UPS store, diagonally opposite Grocery Outlet.

I showed them a picture of what I wanted, but it turned out completely different. The salon is clean and tidy, and the staff is polite, but men's haircuts are definitely not their forte.

I would recommend using it morning and night for bad breakouts. My friend got me a cute gift set that was wrapped in a silk scarf! It's a super cute idea. I haven't gotten a chance to try the glory conditioner, it's thick as hell and can't wait! I might try it with my braids. The fuel power I haven't tried either. For X-mas I got a cute bath bomb that stills smells like the day I got it. I'm saving it lol. Then got some matching shower gel. I truly love this place. It seems like the one in Fashion Valley is more expensive. It's also the biggest one in North County. They have the best face mask too, you literally have to keep them in the fridge or they will go bad. I don't try those any more bc of the charcoal bar. I have yet to try some of their makeup and they're super nice about getting a sample of things too. They have some of the best conditioners ever. They need to have Lush outside the mall too, maybe they do, who knows. Thank you guys for being so amazing! Please don't ever go away and if so, I will need a lifetime supply of the charcoal bar please!

Well this little business took me in, had me wait but not very long (in late Friday even!) and I had 3 techs start the process as the other two had appointments & the last one just finished up. He was very attentive, good at details, friendly & funny-I didn't get the young man's name but I would recommend him and I will come back here when I'm in the area which is frequent. I really liked my nails they look like they might last a few weeks.

Well let's see, where do I start... I went there last year the stylist messed up and I paid too…read moremuch. I yelped them previously and Mai (the owner/manager) called me and invited me back to fix my hair. (I don't know about you all but my time is precious, and spending another 3 hrs to fix was frustrating, but I did it). I went today with my daughter for Mother's Day had the same stylist that had messed my hair up last time (I thought I would give her another chance) Mai was not there. My daughter and I went in at 11am left there at 5:30. My daughter had to have her hair re-done and then they charged her extra to fix it without communicating that. She went in and was quoted for highlights, toner, and a cut, then was charged extra for a shadow root and gloss to fix the mistake. We understand stylist are human and make mistakes they say "tell us we will fix it." They make it hard to express it's not what she wanted. I was in a separate chair and heard her expressing it and then my stylist got involved and I had to tell them to stop talking over my daughter while she was trying to tell her what she actually wanted. As my daughter was explaining what she wanted, my stylist was speaking in another language to her stylist at the same time. The stylist my daughter had just did not know what she was doing. If you want to train stylist then charge less. We were there 6 1/2 hours I paid $450 she spent $390 (that's before tip) and they did fix her hair and we spent a whole day there. It was beyond ridiculous. Mean while my stylist put me under a blow dryer because she didn't want to blow dry my hair and then she worked another customer and had the receptionist finish blow drying hair then she came back to curl it. Don't get me wrong I can spend the money but please don't hide cost, double book and then act like you are doing me a favor. WE WILL NOT BE GOING BACK!! Again I don't mind paying but I want to leave happy and with what I asked for. I want to say usually I sit with a hair stylist tell them what I want and have a conversation with them and come to a conclusion and then the magic happens. That does not happen at Plaza Hair Salon. They seem to struggle to understand English. The other stylist get involved to help and they don't even know what the customer actually wants. It was a sh*t show. Super sad this was our experience getting our hair done together on Mother's Day.
