I highly recommend Amy for hair cut and color and Anne for nails. Hair: Amy is patient and professional. I have thick wavy hair and she knows how to texturize it so it's not weighted down and heavy looking. Nails: Anne is the only person who I will let give me a pedicure. She takes her time to do a meticulous job and her tools and station is super clean. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Had a great experience with Mimi! We had a consultation before my appointment and she really listened to what I wanted.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She did a test strand, explained the process, timing, and pricing, and gave recommendations for shampoos/products for my hair. She took her time and never rushed. The salon was clean, welcoming, and even offered water, snacks, and coffee. Overall such a friendly environment and I would definitely recommend her! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I was a new customer to the salon, I needed to get my hair done for a wedding the next day. I asked for somebody with experience in hair color. I was told that Alexandra had a lot of experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I showed her an inspiration photo, and I quickly noticed that she was not as experienced as other stylists I have used in the past. I had to ask what method she was using and make sure she was applying the correct root color I had requested on my roots. She didn't bother to do a test on my hair like a professional usually would. In the end I was overcharged $220 and my hair color did not match the inspiration photo at all!!! She blamed the hair color on my hair and stated that next time she could try something different I had no choice, but to go to the wedding unsatisfied with my hair color results. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I let her know that I needed a correction as soon as possible because I did not like the results at all![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She did a color correction 2 days later that I I had no choice but to settle for because I didn't want to continue to damage my hair with more highlights, she charged me an additional $60 I don't think I should've paid to have my color corrected. I came back a third time just for a root touchup and to my surprise, she decided to go several shades darker without consulting me, or showing me any samples of what it was going to look like. She charged me $90 and she refuses to refund the money or allow another stylist to correct my hair. I can no longer trust her to do my hair. I've given her 3 opportunities and she has failed me twice! I cannot fathom the thought of coming in a fourth time when I do not trust this persons judgment. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The salon owner has tried to find a resolution, and she is unwilling to admit fault and return the money.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

My wife and daughter, those sweet peas, have been going to Escape for a while. They won't go anywhere else, because of Mimi. She's professional, courteous, always on time, and she knows her craft. Even I can tell the difference. read more

OMG. How on earth is it possible to f' up a simple bang trim to such an extent!!!! I can't even. Impatient, unprofessional and a liar! Ruined two years of growth in two seconds! Mimi cut way the hell back beyond where bangs should go. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I had called to set up a consultation and perhaps bang trim, if it seemed a good fit. I wanted to talk about potential styles and highlights for the future. I wanted to have the bangs just shaped a little for passport photos I have coming up, but if it didn't work for the consultation time, I was okay with that. (This was absolutely clear and what I said I wanted to do by phone.)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]She stood glowering at the counter when I walked in. Assumed it wasn't her, because of this and because she didn't introduce herself but I had... I did see she had moved to a chair and just stood there - same look on her face. The receptionist offered me water and coffee, but didn't introduce me to anyone either. So, I just stood there and waited, still not realizing it was her. I just grabbed a water and a small bit of coffee.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I looked around and had to be the one who said, "Are you Mimi?!" When no one did anything. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I went to sit down and thought maybe she was in a hurry and I'd missed something. She seemed to be angry the whole time[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Should have known something was up, already (obviously now, but in retrospect) and when she acted like I couldn't possibly know how to use WiFii? And started making notes about how I used my phone. ???[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I wanted to meet her and (new to the area and need a stylist) talk about styles/colors she thought were possible. You know, what you do at a consultation!!! She said usually people show pictures of what they want and was rude.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] So, still not getting that there could be some ill will, I've never met her or even been there, I thought of some styles, but asked her for suggestions think of creative ideas to consider for later. I had seen a few reviews which had her name. I didn't have a nice impression of her, but thought just a simple bang trim of shaping up was pretty basic. I had let my bangs grow out two and a half years, so they went well past my chin. She cut about six to eight inches with absolutely no shaping up, and the corners were cut HIGHER than the center. And it just hangs in my face; I can't tuck it behind my ears now and it's horrible. She just stood glaring. I asked ,"Is this is it?" And I tried to move it around and see if I could brush it to the side or how I was supposed to do anything with it, to keep it out of my eyes and face. [[HIGHLIGHT]]She then started to try to argue with me and said I did it! What the what? I just rose up, realizing this was psycho stuff, and said "I can't do this," and left[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Hooooowwwwww Escape, HOW do you do you treat potential new clients like this?!!! I've rewritten this a few times, because I'm still in shock and was furious when I got home[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. I'm from NY and have had my hair actually done by professionals there my whole life, in many states and Europe on a regular basis. I realize SoCal has some pretty horrible behavior, but how on earth is a "luxury" spa/studio having this kind of low caliber service/person there?! It's truly terrifying. read more

I first reached out to Rocco to see if he could cut my teen daughter's hair because she really needed a haircut and we were going to be leaving out of town so our schedule was tight. He responded immediately and agreed to meet at the salon THAT night at 8pm! He went above and beyond to make her feel special and not rush through the appointment. He even took the time to show her how to style her hair. It just so happened that I was also looking for a hairstyle for myself and a fews weeks later I reached out and my results are AMAZING! read more

Martha is amazing!! I'm very picky with my hair and she kills it every time. I like my hair ashy and if it's not ashy enough she'll put another toner until I get my perfect color. She's spent so many hours working on my hair and I can't thank her enough. My hair is very difficult to work with and i've never heard her complain. I can't say enough good things about her. read more

I enjoy how beautiful and welcoming this Salon is. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Every time I come in and visit my favorite stylist, I am greeted promptly and asked to enjoy a coffee or water while I'm waiting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Sabrina is an amazing color specialist and is great at cutting long hair. She is the only one I let touch my hair! I am very picky when it comes to coloring and cutting my hair. It took me 7 years to grow out my virgin long hair and her cutting was chief kiss! Then, when I allowed her to color my hair, she blew me away and colored it exactly to how I imagined it! If you need someone reliable and trustworthy, ask for Sabrina!!!!!!! read more

People ask me how my hair looks so healthy when it's so bleached -- the answer is decisively Grace at Escape Salon. Grace helped rescue my hair from a growing-out undercut and a multiply-bleached pink debacle this past January to a healthy, even, bright pink then and now bright blue today! Grace really cares about keeping hair healthy, and will talk through options for how to get both a good look now and a good long-term plan. I wouldn't go to anyone else at this point . read more

This review is specifically for Sabrina, who I'm not sure if she works for the salon itself or simply rents a booth here, but I would not trust any place that lends itself to such an unprofessional stylist. She completely ruined my hair color. I asked her to tone my balayage slightly ashier and she dyed my hair dark brown, ruining the highlights I had in my hair. I don't know if it was a miscommunication or if she just doesn't know what she's doing, but when I expressed my disappointment to her she got an attitude and refused to fix it to my liking or give me a refund. Now I have to pay someone else to redo what was already done on my hair, that Sabrina ruined. Would not come back or recommend her services to anyone read more

It was that time again and as always Mimi does a phenomenal job. Since my last cut with her, my hair has gotten healthier and my curls are so much better.

I have been a client of Rocco's for a few years but this year he performed a miracle on my hair. Late last year I insisted on going red and he did it for me. A couple of months later I decided I preferred my blonde balayage. To Rocco's dismay He told me we could do it but I was running the risk of really damaging my hair. I went ahead and moved forward. Rocco did an amazing job and my hair survived due to his technical expertise and experience. Since that appointment in January, Rocco has successfully transitioned my hair back to blonde and I love it! I wouldn't trust anyone else with my hair! read more

Anthony is amazing and actually listens to how I want my hair to look! He is a color expert and one of the very few hair stylists who have been able to achieve the exact color of balayage I was seeking. He's great to talk to as well as I always leave his salon feeling rejuvenated and feeling great! Oh and his dog Bella is also a joy to have around. Highly recommend Anthony and do glad I discovered him! read more

I got recommended by my co-worker to book with Mimi to color and fix my hair after a failed home hair dye job I did on myself. I thought I wouldn't lift to my desired hair color, however Mimi amazed me and gave me my dream color while lifting my uneven and box dyed hair. Mimi is very considerate and actually cares about the state of your hair and gives advice on how to keep it healthy. I would come back again! read more

Rocco is the best!! He's a hair wizard! I recently decided to switch from blonde to red. He did it in stages so it wasn't a shocking change right away. He started by adding red gradually to my blonde. Now, I've gone "full on" red, (at least to me), and I love it. I get lots of compliments on my new color and pretty much every time I leave his shop. He's also super chill and I was comfortable with him the second I met him. Rocco's the best!! read more

I was feeling pretty frumpy about myself and really did like the person I saw in the mirror. I was in desperate need of a haircut and new style. My Daughter recommended for me to go see her hair stylist Sabrina which, I'm so glad I did.
