Canyon Salon & Extension Bar - Hair cut & dye by Taylor, not styled

The stylist I had for over 20 yrs moved away so I started a search for a new one. I think we all…read moreknow how difficult it is to find a new stylist even though you have recommendations from friends; not all are a good fit - right?! It has been very difficult for me, I'd been searching for a few years but was never really happy. I wanted a Pixie but I didn't think any of them REALLY listened to me; that is until I cold called Canyon Salon. I have extremely baby fine hair and over the last few years it has thinned out so I was looking for a haircut that made me look like I had more hair but one my thin fine hair would support. I was then assigned to Taylor Gilday. I was nervous at my 1st appt but my philosophy is "hair grows back"... I showed up and immediately was impressed that Taylor was at the front desk waiting for me! She has the most beautiful red hair and her bubbly, friendly personality was like a whole welcoming committee. I'm thinking, this is a good start.... She seats me down at her station and we talk; she's asking me what my thoughts were and we discuss my hair and what I wanted, the problems I have and my concerns. Let me tell you, I'm almost 70 yrs old so I've had a few stylist in my lifetime and I've NEVER had one that took as much time as Taylor did to get to "know" my hair and what I wanted. It was a shock tbh. My previous tries at a Pixie haven't turned out as what I had envisioned, they were, ummm, in a word - bad. When I went to Taylor, I don't know what I was sporting but it certainly wasn't a Pixie by any stretch of the imagination. I was the poster child for "Don't let this happen to you!" I maybe 70 but I don't want to look like an old lady; I still want style. After our extensive talk I asked Taylor what she ultimately thought, was what I was asking for unattainable? She was very honest with me and advised she would need at least 2 tries to get my vision and asked me to trust her and give her the 2 haircuts. I agreed, I had nothing to lose and like I say, it's hair, it'll grow back. She gave me the 1st cut, targeting the areas I had problems with and I walked out with hope. Eight weeks later I went in for the 2nd haircut and left with the BEST haircut I've had in YEARS! I knew right then and there that Taylor was my new "forever" stylist! Taylor is exceptionally good at conversing with her clients; she listens and understands her clients wants, needs, and concerns like no other stylist I've visited and she is amazing at cutting hair. A.MAZ.ING! Contrary to popular belief, Pixies are not an easy style to cut but believe me when I say Taylor knows how to cut a Pixie. And if she can cut a Pixie, she can cut any precision haircut. She is that good! I cannot recommend Taylor Gilday highly enough; I don't know what I would do without her expertise; she's phenomenal!!!

Taylor is AMAZING at layered haircuts and blowouts. I came in with long, semi damaged hair that…read morefell too flat for my liking. I asked her to chop off the dead sections, give me lots of layers, and some cascading bangs. She by far exceeded all of my expectations and gave me the best transformation that I've experienced in a long time! Not only that, but she was super sweet and made sure to educate me on how to properly style my new look as well as recommended me products according to my hair's needs. My hair feels so healthy and looks so voluminous- I could not be happier! :)

She understood my concerns and she was super knowledgeable about hair science (things like pH balance, hormones, etc.) She really listened to what I was expressing, and then she gave me the best haircut I have ever had. Ever. She is Sassoon trained and called the cut a Sassoon Bob. NO LAYERS! I will post pictures when I can get to my other device. I highly recommend Sonia and I will definitely return for Part 2, which (I think) includes blending my grays without bleach and continuing to shape my (honestly) gorgeous hair. (p.s., I have never used the term 'gorgeous hair' about myself until today.)

I am so happy I found Sonias. After reading her reviews, I drove from Camarillo to Thousand Oaks to…read moremeet her. She was incredibly kind to my family and was more than happy to have my son and husband sit in on the haircut, and even gave him tips for his own hair! I appreciated that she took the time to get to know me, my professional life, and recommended a butterfly haircut for its ease of upkeep and my work as a professor. My husband and son loved the layers and faceframing. From beginning to end, I could tell how much Sonias loved her craft and her commitment to her incredible Sassoon training. Thank you Sonias!

I considered and contacted 5 salons on Yelp. Swanky Salon owner Melissa, understood my concern best - she responded right away saying she had two stylists who specialize in cutting short hair. Would I like to make an appointment? Well, I just came home delighted with a beautiful cut by Irene. She got me immediately. AND is also such a lovely human being -- just an all round pleasure. And that includes Melissa and the whole staff at Swanky -- I recommend this salon and Irene without reservation!

I set up a project via yelp and asked for a single process and highlight specialist and I was really happy with the response I received from the salon so I made an appointment and I came with my toddler. The second I met Irene I fell in love with her. Not only if she's such a skilled and talented, stylist and colorist, but she really has such an amazing rapport with children. She invited my daughter to taste some Girl Scout cookies, and then gave us the contents of the box! My hair was a complete mess in terms of my highlights, growing out my length my roots everything. Irene took her time and created a masterpiece, and now I feel like I can run for president with his hair! She offered to wash and blow dry my toddlers hair, and it was her first experience in real salon, and she had such a blast! Thank you so much for the best day of beauty experience!

Hidi is AH-MAZ-ING. I've admired her work for a while now and when I finally was in need of makeup…read moreservices this past weekend, she was at the top of my list. She responded to my inquiry text right away and a few texts later, I was all booked! Her studio is inside the John of Italy Salon. Parking lot is big and right next to entrance, so that's easy. Inside the space are floor to ceiling windows, so there is a ton of natural light, which definitely helps Hidi give you the best, most flawless application. I asked her for brown/golden smokey glam and she absolutely nailed it. Throughout the appointment she would hand me the mirror to check-in and make sure I was happy with how things were progressing, which was super nice. Each time she handed me the mirror, I was more and more in love with her work. By the end of the appointment, I was literally staring at myself in the mirror in awe and feeling/looking like a million bucks. She also did light styling on my hair and gave me soft, gorgeous waves. Honestly, I walked out of the salon, looking like a movie star. The event was super hot and everyone was sweating, but miraculously my makeup stayed put. Thank God Hidi made sure to lock it all in with several finishing sprays -- that definitely saved me. I will absolutely book with Hidi again and I'm so glad I found her. She is professional, kind and beyond talented. If you're looking for a MUA in the west valley, look no further.

Not only is she incredibly talented, but she is also kind, professional, and makes the whole experience so comfortable and enjoyable. I'm so grateful for all the years of beautiful work she has done for me, especially making my wedding day even more special. I highly recommend her!

I've been coming to Kristen at Salon Rouge for a couple years now, and I can't say enough good…read morethings about her! She is the only hair stylist I've ever had that isn't afraid to give me what I like to call 'All the layers.' After decades of 'meh' haircuts she DELIVERED. Now I refuse to see anyone else, and refer friends to her when they ask me about my hair. Before Kristen and Salon Rouge I went to quite a few salons and probably paid a lot more than I should have, thinking if I pay top dollar I would get the cut I was after. Nope. Every time I went to get a haircut (I have long hair that goes to mid-torso) I would show the stylist photos of what I wanted - layers and layers I could style into a beautiful, voluminous, layered look, but would always leave with what looked like a trim and a couple longer layers that ended up looking sad and hanging flat. It's honestly been a relief to know I can just go to Kristen and leave with exactly what I'm looking for. Aside from the amazing work she does, she's also great to talk to. Never an awkward or uncomfortable moment (it's the worst when that happens) - she's the type of person you feel like you've known forever, which makes going to see her a fun experience overall!
