Sad to say, many years after my original review, after my hairdresser Makenna left Mark Christopher…read more(and I followed her, until she moved away) I decided to give the salon another try earlier this year. Unfortunately, my previous (very positive) experienced did not hold up. The salon ambience has been stripped... it felt very middle of the road decor-wise, loads of product shelves and no posh salon vibe remaining. I took a chance on a stylist who essentially ruined my hair with color. I've never had such a traumatic color job... the application of the foils and the color was insane - foils scrunched every which way, no rhyme or reason... she was so rough on my head when she removed the foils, that it actually hurt. But it was the result of the color that actually had me in tears. I had to go to another salon to have it fixed, and when i tried to get a refund for it from Mark Christopher they gave me a bit of a runaround for about two months before I finally got refunded. I don't love giving poor public reviews but sadly this place seems to have had a fall from grace from its original top salon status.

Both times were very disappointing. When I went on the hunt again, I came across Linda and was honestly very skeptical because she had openings that weren't 2 months out but I decided to give her a shot anyway. Best decision! **Come to find out she has openings because she just moved here herself from California** As soon as I sat in her chair I felt like I came to the right spot. We chatted about what I wanted done to make sure we were aligned. She explained to me the different curly hair cuts (all of which she is trained in) and we decided together what made the most sense for my curls and then I let her do her thing. At the end of my appointment, my roots were gone, my hair was silky soft and my curls never looked or felt better. I felt like a million bucks! Thanks Linda!

One that isn't slave to mass production, generic, mediocrity.

She works with such ease and precision, which made the whole process painless for me! Her laidback demeanor relaxed the whole appointment to the point I didn't even feel the time passing! I just want to add, she is quite modest, she said her "niche" was coloring, but let me tell you, her haircutting technique was far superior than most I've seen in high end salons.

These people royally…read morescrewed up my hair and had zero self-awareness or common sense to just look at it and see that. I have a simple haircut that works for the shape of my head and deals with my cowlicks for years. I explained this in the consult and showed photo references several times to the hairstylist, and I should have recognised this pattern early because I told her I had just washed my hair like 2 hours prior so I don't need to do that again, and after the cape goes on she has me go over there and does it anyway. Zero listening or comprehension skills. Another creative way to describe the disaster is, it looks like I came in with vastly unrealistic expectations based on photo references that don't match the shape of my head - except all the photo references ARE OF MY OWN PAST HAIRCUTS DONE ON MY OWN HEAD. I opened with an ask for a trim and came out of this place looking like a drug addict from a trailer park. I'm too self-conscious and judgemental to tell in the salon (and what am I gonna do anyway, have them glue my messed up hair back on?) not to mention conflict-averse because at this point I've acquired serious anxiety with hairdressers from how many times I've had someone mess it up. To be specific, I had basic layering/tapering maintained here and my length was just getting a bit too heavy. I also have a previous haircut disaster that I'm trying to fix from when my last hairstylist insisted on cutting this godawful V-shaped taper in the back of my neck that destroyed my natural hairline - I made the hairstylist aware of this. She didn't do anything to it at all and it still is sticking out looking lazy and unkempt just as it did when I walked in. Is a hairdresser not able to comprehend the nuance of "hey the last person messed this up, but I don't want it to be sticking out either so just try to handle it to get it back to where it should be?" Whatever layering I had has been obliterated. I lost no hair on the back of my head and a ton off the top of my head, utterly destroying the sense of balance my hair created for my large cranium. The huge chunk of hair she hacked out of the front left side of my head makes it look like my hair is falling out! It looks God awful, I am horrified and ashamed to go outside because of what these people did to my hair. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE BUSINESSES THAT DO NOT RUN ON COMPETENCE OR COMMON SENSE. Avoid it like the Black Plague. I can throw $50 down the drain but I can't get my hair back to where it was. If I can't find a better place then I'm literally going to have to fly around the world to pay $20 to the random guy in Indonesia who did a good job six months ago. EDIT: The response to this review is more proof than the haircut that everything I said about this place is accurate and then some. FWIW, they did leave a voicemail and tried to ask if I could come back in so they could "fix it", which is not how haircuts work. No mention of refunds for the damage, no coupon, and no apology, so to think that was done in good faith is not reasonable. As for the personal attacks towards me running for federal office, yes, I ran precisely because there are too many people with money & power who are vicious, lying cowards and understood that Congress would be an excellent place to put that kind of thing out to pasture. It's a shame I didn't win because we could clearly still use this attitude of mine in light of circumstances like this! Thanks for nothing though!

Unfortunately, due to a medical condition, my MD told me it would not be a good idea for my scalp and may cause worsening problems. Keep in mind the product never left the salon. I called before the install date and explained that my doctor does not recommend this for me. The owner would not get on the phone to discuss the cancellation. She left all the discussion up to the receptionist, who had no clue what to do or say to me. The salon refused to send the extensions back to the manufacturer and insisted that I pay for the entire product. They tried to tell me that it was a special order. When, in fact, the order was out of the online catalog. They took $1000 from me and refused to refund my money. Now I am stuck with $1000 hair extensions that I can never use. The Salon did not demonstrate basic empathy or flexibility toward my medical situation. I will be contacting the state board of cosmetology as well as the state attorney general/consumer office to fight this wrong. For these reasons, I do not recommend this salon. They only want your money and don't really care about your situation or self-esteem. I am sorry to leave my stylist; she was wonderful.

You can tell that he has been doing it for a long time and takes pride in his work. I've had my hair cut by him three times and I've been very happy with the results every time. The atmosphere at Tesoro is really laid back and comfortable. When you arrive you are greeted by Maurizio or one of the other stylists and usually offered a water or a cup of coffee. It's a nice touch and I think it speaks to the level of service that they provide. You can make an appointment but they also take walk ins. If you walk in though, you may have to wait a while. So, I would recommend making an appointment, especially if you're going on the weekend. As a guy, you really can't beat the value. For the price point $20 you get a professional haircut and wash. You are going to pay close to that at any one of the corporate hair cutting places where they tend to do a poor job and rush you in and out. Go to Tesoro for your next haircut, you won't be disappointed!
