Blowout

Honestamente quedé enamorada de mi pelo. Rubén pasó mis expectativas. Nunca me avía cortado el cabello en Tijuana, busqué en Yelp y vi que tenia muy buenas reviews y me aventé. También me hice un tratamiento de hidratación y un blowout. Thank you Rubén!

I've been coming to see Rubén for a year and half and he's my favorite stylist in whole Tijuana. I highly recommend Rubén because he's an expert on hair coloring, hair treatments and styling hair. He would always protect your hair and provide you with the best quality service. Rubén uses quality products on your hair and that is hard to find in a stylist. The vibe with Rubén it's great! I don't even need to tell him what I want because he already knows what I need. It's an amazing client -hair stylist connection. Fenomenal service! Five Stars Rare find Above & beyond

Belli Belli is such a charming salon right off of Ingraham St. All of the staff is friendly and…read morecheck in is a breeze. I have seen Chelsea Lynn twice now, and both times she has absolutely killed it. I 100% trust her vision and the meticulous way she treats every strand of hair. I cannot recommend her enough! Special shout out to Avery, who acted as her assistant- she did a great job as well!

I want to address the blatant and disappointing inaccuracies in the salon's response to my review…read more I am extremely disappointed that instead of acknowledging the concerns I raised to improve future client experiences, the business chose to misrepresent what actually occurred during my visit. To be completely clear: my stylist did not consult with me even once about what I wanted my hair to look like. This includes tone - my hair is not even the correct color. The only person I spoke to about my hair goals was the assistant, not the stylist. At one point, I even had to ask the assistant whether I would be getting a root smudge (I've been getting my hair done for 15 years and am familiar with what is typically involved in my services), because again, the stylist did not communicate with me at all about my preferences. The stylist blow-dried a single section of my hair and then did not return. After that first section, the next and last time I saw her was as I was walking out of the salon, while she was actively blow-drying another client's hair. Because of this, there is no possible way she could have done a "final check," assessed breakage, or evaluated the overall condition of my hair as suggested in the response. While the stylist did eventually call to apologize (which is the bare minimum), I did not hear from the salon itself. If they truly cared about hearing/fixing my experience, I would have heard directly from them. I will not be returning to this salon or this stylist. Why would I return to a place where I felt disrespected, rushed, unheard, and where my hair was damaged? I also want to clarify that I have no issue with a stylist working alongside an assistant. In fact, I mentioned in my original review that the assistant was very sweet. My issue is with a stylist who does not communicate with me at all, is dismissive and rude, and is so overbooked that she is barely present for the service I was paying for. I did not include this originally, but the stylist was also extremely rude to the assistant, so much so that I considered stepping in because of how poorly she was speaking to her. Overall, the fact that the owner chose to respond with inaccuracies instead of genuinely addressing the issues raised is very reflective of this business.

Thank you Lulu.

Lulu uses the best quality (and best smelling) products on the market. I usually go in for a trim and a smoothing mask. During my appointments, Lulu is always sure to consult me before starting any process. She explains what she is doing and why. I love that! At my last appointment, Lulu walked me through the Keratin treatment she used and explained its benefits. My hair has never been so polished and easy to style. I can still wear it curly, but going straight has been made so much simpler... drying time/styling time has been cut in half! So HAPPY!!! Bridal Hair & Makeup: I had the pleasure of working with Lulu on my wedding day. She did an outstanding job! I wanted a vintage look. Lulu accomplished just that. My skin looked flawless, and although it was much more makeup than I ever wear on a day to day basis, it did not feel heavy or cakey. In addition to doing my hair and makeup, she did my bridal party's hair and makeup (Maid of Honor, Mother of the Bride, two bridesmaids, and a flower girl). Everyone looked stunning and we were on time! Just writing this makes me want to look for any excuse to get dolled up, so I can book an appointment with Lulu ASAP!

Very impressed with my first appointment here. Tiffany was very prompt in scheduling me in through texts. She took into consideration the look I wanted with my hair type and how to style it. She gave a great scalp massage during shampoo and conditioning. The haircut was great and I left the salon loving my hair. The only thing I want to mention is the salon was very quiet. I think it would be nice to have some ambient music playing in the background, but that's just my preference. Overall, a great salon!

Yes & yes Did I get that, no I asked for toner & cut, very little trim & not many layers. As I hate how my hair styles with a lot of layers!! As I was on my phone & she was cutting my face framing, I noticed a lot of layers being cut & I said something but what can we do honestly at this point... I specifically told her I'm trying to grow out my hair all the same length. & it took me a long time to make most of my hair like that. Why do stylists always just give you the style they're used to or think would look good. From reading the other reviews seems like she's known for layers. I already have thin hair & again HATE excessive layers making it look even more thin. She's really sweet & reasonably priced If you do come be VERY specific about your likes & dislikes ** woke up the next day super sad! I got my hair trimmed for my bday, now I hate it. It won't style the curls like how I normally like to cuz of the Farrah faucet style hair ** I keep touching my hair throughout the day & ugh so much regret! I HATE all the many layers, my hair feels so thin!! & the toner I asked for light brown & it's super dark cuz she left it in my hair for too long cuz she was working on another client at same time. Heart break
