Rose @ Hair Studio Live Ok so here is my review about a haircut I got in Temecula; at a sweet spot called Hair Studio Live; by a talented gal named Rose. Buckle up. So boom! It's early March, I left DC for a quick getaway to visit my buddy Jason in San Diego and play some rounds of golf. This year's winter was extended and I was excited to finally come out of the DC winter hibernation. The weather was still chilly when I left so I was bundled up. In San Diego we played a round of golf in Encinitas and Jason decides we should pick up Ryan in Escondido, swing through Palm Springs for some desert golf and then hit Vegas and come back. I work for home and all winter I was hiding under hoodies, beanies and NorthFace. To say I looked like a distant cousin of the Geico caveman was not far removed from the truth. I told Jason; dude, I cant go to Vegas like this, I need to get my grooming locked in. I said I need a haircut, bad! Jason shaves his head so he had no hook up and suggested we grab Ryan and along the way and he may have a suggestion, if not, SuperCutz it is. I hit up Ryan and asked if he had a suggestion for a barber around his spot, towards Vegas and he said yes and gave me the number to the salon and said ask for Rose. I spoke to Rose and she was able to fit me in for a quick cut the next day. We packed up and headed towards Escondido, grabbed Ryan and swung by Rose's spot. Rose was super professional and nice. She greeted us, took me to her station and after some niceties, she asked what I wanted. I pulled off the beanie and kept my eyes on hers to see if she'd flinch. Rose did not judge me when the DC winter beanie came off and a mix of unkempt graying mane and pretty obvious signs of male balding patterns met her. She looked around my hair and asked what I wanted. I said a miracle. She said she's a stylist not a sorcerer. Fair enough, I said I want to leave the top a little longer to assist in the comb over, but I want the sides short, especially around the ears. But not skin fade! Also I want a little bit longer in the back so that my nape is not exposed fully. Imagine, very well groomed and blended, short kept mullet. Rose said that's not a problem and she offered to wash my hair even tho I had showered the night before. She got to working her magic. We talked a bit and she was really nice! She learned about the San Diego visit, and the little trip we had in plan, and I felt her work expeditiously but not rushed. I really enjoyed enjoyed her personality, professionalism, and skilled execution. She used scissors which my barber back home only finishes off with. I could tell I was in the hands of a professional, mostly scissor cut and a few brushing of the clipper. There was cool music playing and the place looked nice. I was stoked to have Rose do the work; as guys know, getting hair cut in the wild is a dice roll! A few years back I was in Brooklyn and asked for a haircut from a barber and let's just say I could have dropped the hottest Reggaeton album of the year. Bro, the Dominican gal, she gave me skin fade with pointy sideburns that could have connected to a thin chin strap beard. Nah... I was cooked. It was the type of haircut that would require skipping a day of school. No shade. Just a miscommunication I guess? Rose was stylish and she got it, she was locked in and did her thing. When the cut was done I felt cute as fuhhh -I almost uploaded a selfie to my IG. She cleaned me up, shaved the strays on my neck and sent me on my way. I for sure thought I was gonna feel a dent in my wallet, but surprisingly not. Thank you Rose! Vegas was for sure gonna be a movie! I'm Jake and I approve this endorsement. Ask for Rose and tell her caveman Jake sent ya. She might remember the chaos she had to organize. read more

My hair stylist, Garrett, moved to this hair studio and definitely liked the vibe of the studio. Very creative and fun studio. Garrett is my go to for any hair style. He knows my hair and is willing to try out new hair styles. I've only been to the studio twice but it's very open and inviting. When I need to get a haircut appointment in, he is quick and flexible when needed. Definitely recommend getting your hair done here! read more

Text message confirmation and reminders was a great way to start my appointment From the art work on the doors and walls. To the very hip and stylish decore. I wouldn't dream of getting my hair cut anyplace else. Especially loved the piano desk. Great music, great conversation and a great vibe filled this high end salon. My experience only left me wanting to schedule my next visit. Danny Linares is my stylist. But to me it seemed that all the stylist are very talented and I'm sure you can't go wrong. I highly recommend you book your next pamper session with HAIR STUDIO LIVE. read more

Danny has been doing my hair for 30 years. He always keeps my hair looking amazing, and it's always a different shade of red, which I love. He is a master color artist, and his short hair styles are like no other. I call them my "Danny doos." He also does long hair, but in my opinion, short hair styles are his specialty‍‍ read more

After covid I let my natural hair grow out for years, and it was not looking good. If you have any fears about color correction, Rose is the one to see. She knows her craft and will get you where you want to be. read more

Rose is your GO TO! I've been going to her for I want to say like 5 years now. I found her after my HUGE Hair Fail with Ulta Salon, she fixed the Mess and has been my go to ever since! I typically go to her for Blonde and every single time, I just show her inspo pics, she works her magic and allows you feeling refreshed and beautiful again. My recent pics, I was feeling a huge change! I wanted my long hair chopped instead of a blond refresh. Showed her my 90s inspo LOB ideas and she did just that! I'm in love with my new look! Look No further and book Rose, she is also the sweetest and the aesthetic of the Salon is GORGEOUS! read more

Hair Studio Live - Exactly what I wanted! Every time! - Hair Salons Near Me - Murrieta, California

Danny has done a great job consistently cutting my hair for almost a decade. This salon has the greatest vibe.

I'm sure they are very good, however I never got the chance to see. I spoke with STEVIE a few weeks ago about getting my k-tip extensions done, but I wasn't ready at that time. I've called, leaving a voicemail and text her trying to set up an appointment and no response. I even called the salon directly but all of her appointments are done thru her. I've now had to arrange a last minute appointment at another salon just to get them removed so they don't damage my hair. Very unprofessional, if you are busy at least say so. ghosting is for high school kids and ex-husbands, not business read more

Miranda did an excellent job on my haircut--I couldn't be happier with the result. She took the time to listen and made sure everything felt just right. What really stood out was her kindness and approach; she offers suggestions without any pressure, which made the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable. Miranda and her husband have created an environment that feels genuinely inviting and comfortable. I look forward to my next visit! read more

ROSE at HAIR STUDIO LIVE, is wonderful. I brought pictures to show what I was aiming for and she LISTENED!! I'm usually stressed when going to a salon because of past CREATIVE SURPRISES. But her expertise and her calm personality put me at ease. BTW. You'll love the salon. It's grand enough to give every stylist private space...beautiful epoxy floor, great lighting, and excellent products made my visit enjoyable read more

Really cool place. Art decorations are 10/10. In the bathroom, you'll find Benjamin Franklin blowing bubble gum. Check out Garrett as a stylist! read more
