This is a great place for hair design! And it's still operating (in case some folks are confused by the earlier reviews). Dora is fantastic, experienced, and friendly, as she will listen to you with patience. And I am sure other hairdressers are friendly and experienced too! The money you paid is definitely worth the price here. I would say it's absolutely five stars! Regarding how to make an appointment, this is what I did: I called the phone number (951) 686-2994 as displayed on this page (for some reason the website http://www.escape-n-style.com/ no longer works), and a woman picked up the phone (sorry I did not remember her name). She took notes of my name and number, saying she's gonna check the availabilities of hair designers (or hairdressers?). Then, Dora called me and scheduled an appointment. You CAN ALSO simply WALK IN to schedule an appointment. read more

I got my haircut by Ana, and she did an amazing job! She is very friendly, professional, and attentive to detail. I love that she took her time to ensure my hair turned out exactly how I wanted it. I've been to many salons throughout the years, and none of them have ever cut my hair the way I wanted it till now. I especially liked that she was able to preserve my length, but also got rid of all the dead parts + gave life to my hair. I have very thick, abundant, long hair that can be hard to work with, so I am very picky with who I trust to cut my hair. However, Ana knows exactly how to work with my type of hair, and there was never a moment of doubt while she was cutting it as she would consult with me before making any major cuts. I also asked for whispy bangs, and she let me know ahead of time that I would have to train them for them to sit the way they do in the picture due to my middle part. She is transparent, caring, and I am in love with her work! I highly recommend getting your haircut by her! I never leave reviews, but her work deserves recognition. I will definitely be returning :) read more

Marisol has taken good care of me for many years. Her skills are awesome and many other friends and family have benefitted from her talent. The staff was very warm and welcoming not only to me but to the other clients as well. Keep up the good work everyone! read more

Marisol came highly recommended. My friend and her mom have been going to her for years. I was ready for change and called Marisol. I came in for my appt and she asked me what I wanted to to do etc. When I told her I wanted blonde again she said ok it's a process. I came in with orange in my color. She did a color correction from dark brown to light brown with blonde in a single process. And I really loved the color. I went back to her again for root touch up and toner. And again accomplished what I wanted. Today I went for more highlights and once again. I'm really happy with the color of my hair. Marisol you rock your Ana amazing colorist and really understand the clients needs. Bought great Italian hair products that have helped my hair with strength and color preserve at the salon. Will be coming back!! read more

I been coming here for years. Mariesol does an amazing job, color, cut and style my hair. Always look so beautiful when I she is done. I love love the ColorProof shampoo and conditioner that Mariesol recommended. Little pricey but so worth it. I would definitely recommend Mariesol. read more

What a pleasant haircut. New to the area and needed a haircut badly. Did some research and came across Escape-n-Style. Called the number listed, which was Lorraine's. While she did not answer because she was most likely busy, she did promptly call me back and was able to get me in same day! I thoroughly enjoyed the haircut and also received a nice shampooing. For men who go to a barber, I highly recommend ditching them and coming to this place! Lorraine was awesome and I will definitely be back. Salon was very nice. My advice, ask for Lorraine and you will not be disappointed! read more

I started seeing Katie at Escape-n-Style in January 2016. I have very thin, fine, long dark brown hair. I work in a very professional setting, so my hair has to look presentable and professional every day. When working with previous hairdressers, I had experimented with highlights and different hair colors. I was always disappointed. I would leave the hairstylist's chair and my hair would look amazing, but I could never replicate that salon look on my own! I was also frustrated that my very expensive highlights would inevitably start turning orange 2-3 weeks after the hair session. Before Katie, I wore my hair in a ponytail about 5-6 times a week. Well, all of that has changed since I started seeing Katie for my hairstyling needs! My hair is the best it has ever looked. Katie is extremely talented, creative, and a genuinely kind person. Katie helped transform my hair from boring dark brown to a high-end subtle ombre look that is both professional and on trend. In the past, I was always told by others that my hair was too thin to look good at a length past my shoulders. Boy were those people wrong! Katie helped find a beautiful modern color for my hair which was applied with a really cool hair painting technique. Katie also shaped my hair with a wonderful cut that made it look full and healthy, even at a longer length. She also spent a lot of time with me, explaining best practices for keeping long hair looking shiny, strong and vibrant. She is extremely knowledgeable about the latest hair trends and she knows which products and styling tools will best work for you. Katie is the first stylist I have worked with who really focused on bringing out my individual beauty and didn't try to sell me a bunch of really expensive products. Katie is also great at suggesting styling solutions for your hair needs. I told Katie that I needed some options for the days when I don't wash my hair. Basically I wanted to learn to style my hair in a way other than a ponytail. Katie thought of three different options for me and showed me how to do it myself. I was never ever good at "doing my hair" ... until I started working with Katie! Katie also taught me how to properly curl my hair. I always wanted the beautiful loose curl or beach wave look that you see in the magazines. Katie taught me three different techniques on how to achieve variations of that look, quickly and easily. It took a bit of practice on my end, but I can now achieve the desired hair look in less than 20 minutes, and that includes blow drying time. For the first time in my entire life, I consistently get compliments from people (even strangers!) about my hair. I see Katie every 4-6 weeks, and I continue to get compliments on my hair even during the week before I see her again. That is truly a testament to her work. The color still looks great (not orange) a month after she does it. The cut still has shape and movement weeks after my visit. I've also seen Katie provide excellent hair styling services for men, kids, and older ladies. I saw her give a really sharp-looking haircut to a little boy who was about 5 or 6 years old. The kid ended up looking like a mini James Dean. It was very cute. Katie has a really great way with kids, so I would highly recommend her for kids cuts. Customer service is her strong suit. She really knows how to interact with people to bring out everyone's individual beauty. She makes each person feel special when sitting in her chair. Katie is also amazing at achieving fun, unusual hair colors. Unfortunately, due to my profession, I cannot experiment with the really fun colors. But I have seen her do unique hair colors like lilac, teal, and white-platinum blonde. If you have a teen who wants to dye their hair a crazy color, have them see Katie to do it the right way without ruining their hair. Katie also likes to have fun with her own hair. So far, I have seen her hair brown, blonde, peach, pink, and magenta. She is so cute and bubbly that every color looks amazing on her. She totally inspires me to have more fun with my own personal style, even though magenta hair is not really an option for me. Katie's services are also reasonably priced. Katie provides the services and creativity of a big-name Beverly Hills hairstylist at a price point that most can afford. I highly recommend Katie for all of your family's hairstyling needs! As an aside, the salon itself is also great. It is located in a quiet business-park area close to UCR. There is plenty of parking. The salon is not that big, but it has an open layout with large windows. I believe the salon offers massage and nail services too, but I have only utilized the hair services. Modern pop music plays through the speakers, which I prefer over the "forced relaxation" Zen-type weird tunes other salons play. The salon is not pretentious or fussy. It's a great place you can swing by at your leisure on a day full of errands. read more

I was recommended to this salon my a friend and I truly enjoyed the service, only worked with Marisol. I would continue to come here but not after my most recent experience. I purchased the expensive salon brand shampoo/conditioner here and was told that if I find it cheaper elsewhere I will be getting a price match, in other words money back. I did find the product at a much less cost on Amazon and called the salon to let them know. The owner, was very short and a little rude when I told her that I found the shampoo and conditioner for cheaper. I told her that I was encouraged to purchase the product and was told that I would get a price match. It's been about 2 months and this issue was never resolved. Very upset with how it was handled. It's important to honor what you tell a customer regardless of the circumstances! read more
