a very nice lady good in doing hair style available all the time just make an appointment or call ..

I hate going to the hairdresser, it is so expensive if you go to a place with lots of recommendations, and I never seem to like the result anyway, Covid was kind of a relief in that respect because I could just cut my owner hair without feeling guilty about the way it sometimes came out. But I am currently job hunting, so needed a good cut. I found Antonia here on Yelp, looking for recommendations of salons that were close to me, good, and inexpensive. She met all those requirements in spades. She is really good, I actually loved the results, maybe the first time ever. Inexpensive, a wash and cut was $35.00. I ended up coming in an hour early, so rescheduled for an hour out and she was able to fit me in. Just a great experience. Also, she appears to be a nice person! Highly, highly recommend. read more

I've been going to Ms Antonia for years she has always done my family hair! From Hair cuts to color highlights etc.... she is definitely very attentive and always makes sure her clients are satisfied! I definitely do recommend her. It does get busy especially since she is the only hair dresser their. So book in advance because walk ins can be tough even tho she will try her best to accommodate you. Muchas Gracias Antonia me encanto mi cabello! Sarita read more

First time here and I'll be going here from now on. I brought a photo and she asked questions along the way to make sure I was happy. It turned out exactly how I wanted. The cost is inexpensive and getting an appointment was a breeze. I highly recommend seeing her! read more

This was the worst experience I have ever had at a hair salon! I asked for a trim because I'm growing my hair out and told her I have a hard time growing it. I asked to dust off the dead ends straight across (blunt cut) and she started layering my hair in the front and took off so many inches that I started crying and said it looks very choppy and she tried to correct it but now it is completely uneven and looks like a 3 year old year cut their own hair. I am horrified! read more

Fantasy Hair Studio - I asked for straight across and get this. - Hair Stylists Near Me - Encinitas, California

I recently had a baby and desperately wanted a hair cut. For some reason almost all hair salons in Encinitas are closed Sundays and Mondays or closed early or it was too late because it was appointment only. I called Fantasy Hair Studio and spoke with Antonia and she got me in 30 minutes later. When you arrive to the studio, the outside is very unappealing and your almost super nervous that your haircut will turn out horrible. For me, at this point, I wanted a haircut so badly I didn't care. Antonia is a super sweet lady who listens to every detail about how you want your hair cut. I kind of think of her as a conservative hair cutter in the sense that she will cut a little longer than what you ask, will let you see how it looks and if you want it shorter, she will cut it again. I don't know anything about hair styles and usually leave it to the hair dresser to cut my hair but Antonia wanted to make sure every detail was to my liking. At the end of the day, I loved my hair cut. It was the right length for how short I wanted it, she cut my bangs to the right length and I got my layers back. If anyone ever needs a simple haircut and nothing fancy, I would recommend Antonia, it was $25 for a haircut, you can't get that anywhere in Encinitas. read more

Antonia is amazing! Very accommodating and took care of my hair the way i wanted. I will definitely go back to her! read more

Antonia is a very kind woman. I received a haircut from her yesterday and it turned out great. Very well priced. Thank you!

Thank you Antonia for the great service you provided to my mother-in-law today. Her hair looks fabulous! I called last minute and you were able to fit her right in. You were so gracious and my mother-in-law loves her new hairstyle. We will definitely be back. Antonia is one of life's wonderful surprises! read more

Antonia the owner is a very nice, hardworking woman. She is very careful with her work. The salon is not fancy, but the work you get is pretty fancy. She uses the best products, and she listens to your requests. I am tired of overpaying salon owners to have fancy furniture, and fancy advertising. I rather pay less, contribute to building Antonia's client base, and still get my hair nicely done every 6 weeks. I highly recommend Antonia! She doesn't speak a lot of English, but she understands everything! read more

I think Antonia is the best colorist I have ever had! I've been to others, but they always messed up my highlights. I am Asian, and someone at Aveda gave me very light blonde highlights that were in large blocks. Antonia took the time to assess my complexion, and found a color with highlights that matched my personality. She took the time to blend it seemlessly throughout my hair. Ever since the pandemic, I have been missing her expertise. read more

My daughters and I had some really great cuts here. I was so nervous about getting a short bob but Antonia did an amazing job and she has the best hair products for my wild wavy hair. Loved my daughter's layers super healthy and kept her length. read more

Antonia it's te best hair stylist ever , she is the only one who touch my hair , she take her time with me and until I'm satisfied with my looks , I have had a perm twice , and I'm just cutting my hair read more

So glad I found this place! It's a little hole in the wall with charm. Antonia was so sweet! She doesn't speak a lot of English, but she listens and makes sure you are happy with everything she is doing. She did an "updo" (more like all my hair gathered and twisted/braided on the side of my head) and I loved it! She is very detailed and patient. Her prices are so reasonable and she does a good job! Will come back! read more

Nice , simple , clean , great value . Been taking my mom there she is always happy with the service

I've been going to Antonia's Fantasy Hair Salon in Encinitas for years.

She is very accommodating and always finds the time to fit me into her busy schedule. Her prices are very reasonable and I highly recommend her services. Margot read more

Went in on a whim after reading these reviews and getting tired of paying exorbitant prices at my regular salon.... was skeptical at first but Antonio was warm and welcoming. She gave me an amazing cut and was very receptive my ideas and understanding what I wanted. I will definitely go back! She also does color and highlights which I will be trying out soon. read more

Definitely a sketching-looking little salon when you first see it, and the inside appears a bit dilapidated, BUT ... Antonio cut my hair on 30 min notice, did a really nice job, and seems super sweet! AND, only $25!! Absolutely recommend for a quick, inexpensive and good haircut! read more

Excellent! I was not sure at first in spite of the good reviews, so, I popped in to check them out before I made an appointment. I was met with a waiting customer that could not say enough good things about the place, so, I made an appointment then and there! Plenty of parking in front of the salon. What it is: A simple hair salon owner-operated by a lovely lady named Antonio, who is very sweet and caring. She did an outstanding job on my hair, shampoo, cut and flat iron. She was patient, listened attentively, spent 1.25 hours on my hair. First she cut it a bit longer than I wanted, just to make sure. Then she trimmed it to the length I wanted. All in all, a very nice hair cut for a very reasonable price. She seems to have a steady customer base, some women have been coming to her for nearly 10 years. What it is not: This is not a buzzing trendy salon where a twenty something in 4 in heels is going to greet you with sparkling water or cheap wine. Do not expect fancy furniture or mood music... it is a basic place where they do excellent work for a fair price. Things to know before you go: Antonio is not fluent in English, so you will need to work with her to make sure you get what you want. It will help to take pictures of the cut you want. As I only got a shampoo/cut/flat iron, I don't know how good the other services are. Finally, I am pleased to support a woman owned local small business. I will be back! read more

I've been coming to Antonio for years and I've always been satisfied with her for color and cut. Her place is hard to find but if you see the TIMEKEEPERS sign her salon is right next door. I see a lot of men come in here probably because she only charges $15. Thank you Antonia for keeping the prices down. read more

Very sweet! Great service and made my hair feel wonderful. My hair was so long and dry i decided on a whim to go out and cut all of it off. She did an amazing job and made sure i loved it. Went from my hair down to the bottom of my back to shoulder length and it's so healthily and beautiful now! read more

Antonia is wonderful. She does excellent work at very good prices. She takes lots of time to make sure that your haircut is perfect, and she uses organic hair coloring too if you prefer it. I have been there twice and will continue to go there. I have had more compliments on my hair in the last four months than I have had in many years. read more

This place is a awesome , little hole in the wall!!! The owner is really nice and listens to your every word even if it sounds kind of crazy. I've been getting my hair done here for quite a while and I have never had a bad experience with her or the service she's provided me with. Even till this day she always tells me if I'm not satisfied with her work she'll fix it for me with no charge to me which I really appreciate.. Truly a one on one experience no middle person just straight to the source read more

If you're tired of paying for the salon and its style rather than a hairstyle tailored to you, see Antonia at Fantasy Hair Salon. The real reason to go here is for her excellent styling skills. I arrived with an overgrown mess and left with a hairstyle that complemented my hair type. Most often, other stylists try to fit you into the latest trend. While it may look nice when you leave, it's usually hard to replicate on your own at home. Antonia checked with me at each step of her work, to make sure I was ok with it. Her English is ok, take your time with her and she will do the same for you. Her salon is humble, but you'll feel and look terrific after Antonia gives you a personal styling. read more
