Autumn I.

I've been getting my hair done by Cassidy for a little over a year now and she always does an amazing job. Since I have been going to her my hair has gotten so much healthier; it's thicker, shinier and overall so much softer. When I began seeing her I went in for a color correction with very damaged hair and she has really made it beautiful and helped it to come back to life. Cassidy recently moved to this new salon and I must say, I really love it! It's very open and clean and the owner is very friendly and helpful! I always recommend Cassidy to family and friends and now she's doing their hair too and they also love her!

This salon has the most unique and chill vibe. Stan is a really cool guy who gave me the BEST effortless cut and he listened to exactly what I wanted (didn't cut too much as I'm growing my hair out) but he also did what I couldn't think of styling wise & was super helpful in giving me styling tips. *highly recommend*

Before (hair bleached previously at another salon) and after!

got my split color hair goals by Lex! She's literally amazing because she's honest and truly cares about the integrity of your hair. She doesn't rush at all and shows she wants the absolute best for you and your hair. definitely going to continue seeing her!

Loving my new do. Jen is the absolute BEST!!

Jen has been my go-to girl for the past five or so years. I was so excited to hear that Jen and her brother Stan recently opened Exit Through the Hair Shop in South Oceanside and it is amazing! The salon is very open, urban, and clean. I love the energy and relaxed South O vibe they have going on. It's very inviting and familiar feeling. They have eight salon chairs and even an adorable race car chair for kids cuts! That is definitely something South Oceanside needed- a place to take the little ones to get an awesome haircut in a fun environment. I cannot wait to bring my nieces and nephews to take that cool chair for a test drive. Exit Through the Hair Shop stocks all of my favorite hair products at a great price. Jen is extremely knowledgeable in all of the products and is the only person I trust to do my cut and colors. She is the balayage queen!!

Jen is my girl! She always hooks my hair up and brings my dead hear back to life! She knows exactly how I want my hair done, the color, style and cut! I always go to her when I feel like my hair has been neglected for too long. She also cuts my daughters hair whenever I feel like it's getting too long, or if she needs a trim. I get so many compliments on how blonde my hair is, before I did this look she did a cute ombré on me almost 2 years ago and it lasted a long time! Even after 2 years of not getting my hair done, I still got a lot compliments on the color! Now I get a lot of compliments on how they love how blonde my hair is. The shop is beautiful. It has its own unique look. It's shows a lot of different unique beautiful personalities through the decorations and artwork they have displayed. The kids corner is really cute! And their products are amazing! I live for the leave in conditioner spray in the purple bottle! And it smells good! I would definitely recommend this shop!

After my appt w Kat, I left the salon feeling rejuvenated. I highly recommend checking out Kat's IG (lechopshop) + booking w her!

I've known Kat for five years and have followed her from two previous salons -- So we're basically in a committed hair-lationship (Ha, sorry for the lame joke, but it's true). She's accommodating, relatable, and a true professional who knows her craft well. At my most recent appointment, we decided to turn me into a blonde bombshell and I left the salon feeling transformed and rejuvenated (which is exactly how everyone is supposed to feel after a salon visit)! I highly recommend checking out her Instagram (@lechopshop) to see her work and booking your next hair care appointment with her!

This place is dope. Ashley made me look amazing. I'm going to have to hire a bodyguard to keep all the girls from mobbing up on me. Great haircut, great atmosphere, the whole staff was friendly and I had fun talking to everyone. They even gave me a beer. Stop by and get your hair did if you are looking like a scrub.

Balliage and hair cut.
Really S.

Thank you Jenn, you nailed it again!!! I love my hair cut and color! You never disappoint a girl. The price is reasonable and the service you and your staff provide, made me feel important. Constantly checking up on me when I'm waiting for my color to set. Always keeping me informed every step of the way. The blend for my balliage is always perfect, no harsh lines, no brassy color here and I know it's never easy with my never ending supply of hair and my dark black roots. Thanks for keeping things real when helping me decide on a lower maintenance hair color especially with my newborn around, your the best!!! See you next time.

Since around 2014-2015, I've been a client of Kat Copeland and I continue to see her consistently because Kat is not only professional in her approach with all her clients, she considers your best options, listens, is accurate in her abilities and phenomenal with hair color. Kat has done several different colors on me over the years and she's always on point. She's amazing with face structure and what cuts work best with your face, and she never lets you leave until everything is the way you prefer it. All these reasons are why I'm pretty much a lifelong client of this very gifted stylist who truly has passion for her craft!

@lexcolorshair totally made my hair dreams come true!(: She did a lovely lob cut and foilyage on me. She really took the time to make sure I was 100% satisfied with my hair, which I am so thankful for. She also got me in so quick and was willing to work with my busy schedule. She is such a cool, laid back person and I will definitely be returning for my future hair appointments. Also, I totally love the the vibe of this hair salon. Super bright, open and cute!

Stan has been cutting and coloring my hair for about 5 years now. I was an over processed blonde at the time we met and he saved my hair! He's always using the latest and greatest products and coloring methods while keeping my hair integrity at the top of his mind. Not only is Stan incredibly talented, he's so much fun to spend the afternoon with. Below are some pix over the years. I'm looking forward to getting my 'fall' color soon! Thank you Stan for treating me like family and for making me look and feel beautiful!

Love my hair straightened with a touch of pink/ red !

Love Kat! She is always so positive, bubbly, punctual, helpful and listens to exactly what I want! The salon is very clean, great music, always open parking and inviting ! Wine, water and coffee is always offered it has a very friendly vibe to it , not like most hair salons with a bunch of drama ! I always have Kat do my hair and not only does she have an amazing personality but her talent is awesome too! Give her a call if you need a style , cut , color or just some TLC! You will not be disappointed! #katatexitthruthehairsalon #alwaysmiling ‍‍‍‍‍

This is my second time at Exit Through the Hair Shop, I've been seeing the owner, Jen for years and have been following her from another salon. Always a great service. The salon is very clean and beautiful, the stylists are timely and friendly, very fair pricing, and of course, I'm in love with my bronde balayage. Jen takes her time to talk me through my color process and tells me what to expect. I have a habit to switch back and forth from dark to light and she NEVER leaves me melted or breaking. 5 stars for sure!

The hair salon we'd been going to for years closed, so we needed someone new. My wife, now 77 years…read moreold, needs color and cut in a location that is wheelchair accessible. Kristi met her needs admirably. Admittedly, it costs more than the previous place.

Since the owner chose to publicly respond to my review and "clarify" the situation, I feel I should…read morecorrect some inaccurate information and add context that was left out. My original appointment was not on Thursday, as stated in the owner's response. The Sunday correction appointment was also offered to me by Hannah. I was never told that Sunday was her day off or that she was coming in specifically for me. She already had another client immediately before my appointment, so it was presented to me as an available appointment time. I also find the tone of the public response very different from the private message I received from the owner two days earlier. Privately, I was told that my one-star review was "pretty harsh," that the photos she had seen of my hair were "stunning," and that she was "not sure exactly how the experience didn't line up" with what I asked for. She also suggested that clients can have expectations based on inspiration photos and later decide they want something adjusted, and stated that "any amazing stylist could have had the same experience with you." That response made me feel as though the problem was being placed on my expectations rather than acknowledging that the service simply did not turn out as requested. I did not decide afterward that I suddenly disliked a result that was what I asked for. I raised concerns because my hair did not match what I requested, which is why I returned for a correction in the first place. My "Money Pieces" were OVERLY processed and I had HOT ROOTS. I got consultations from 3 stylists all saying the same thing. I understand that reds and coppers can be difficult and may require adjustments. However, if my desired result was too difficult, unrealistic for my starting point, or outside the stylist's comfort level, I would have much rather been told that before the service and referred to someone else. I have never denied that Hannah attempted a correction or that I ultimately received a full refund, and I appreciate the refund. But those things do not invalidate my experience or mean that I am obligated to leave a positive review. I originally reviewed my experience with the service itself. Unfortunately, the way my concerns were subsequently handled particularly being privately told my review was too harsh and having my expectations questioned, followed by a much different public response has made the experience even more disappointing.

I'm sure it feels great in the moment...but I bet it won't feel too great when you're shutting your doors. If you're THIS reactive to constructive criticism, that's on you babe. If you think I would have come back after THAT reply, you're crazy. Treating myself, as a customer, regardless of my experience in the industry, politely would have garnered a positive change in my review. After that reply...Good luck hon! Edit to owners second response: my initial review was in no way rude, it was honest and I actually left out details to show kindness to the stylist. It's not her fault, I never even said her name and that was on purpose. No one was "put on blast" (how old are we?) It was simply an accurate description of my experience. Blaming me for the HUGE CHUNCK missing from my hair is funny. Yes I had cut my own bangs, no they were not fixed by the stylist...clearly, look at the picture. Since the owner knew who I was. She also could have called me, she chose instead to argue like a teenager over Yelp. For new potential clients to see. I'd. Be. Mortified. If someone left my salon looking like I did, but more mortified to be THIS petty. This will be my last response. Future clients beware. If you're unhappy, this is how you will be treated. FYI. I didn't end up calling because I read your replies to others who had and shocking ...you were rude to them too. Embarrassing. Good luck!
