I went to this salon based on a recommendation and booked with Ashley P. Unfortunately, I left…read moreextremely disappointed with both the result and how the situation was handled. My service was fairly straightforward: an all-over brown color with a red/copper undertone and a trim. I specifically explained that I wanted a copper undertone rather than a purple-toned red. There were no highlights or foils. After the first color application and wash, Ashley apparently noticed an issue before I had even seen my hair and began correcting it. Once she dried a section, I was finally able to see the color myself, and my roots were noticeably bright/glowing red. She mentioned that the salon lighting was making it appear worse and took me outside to look at it. For context, my appointment started on time at 2:30 PM, and it was after 5:30 PM before I was able to see the color for the first time. At that point, I had already been there for three hours for an all-over color and trim and needed to get home to my kids. Ashley offered to continue color correcting it, but because of the time, we agreed she would adjust the roots and I would leave with wet hair. I went back to the bowl for another application, my hair was washed and towel dried, and I paid and left. Once I got home and dried my hair, my roots were still very bright red. The photos attached to this review were taken after I got home. What made the experience especially frustrating was the $400 total: $275 for the all-over color and $125 for the trim. I messaged Ashley afterward to explain that I was unhappy with the result and asked whether any of the additional attempts to correct the color had been included in what I was charged. She explained the pricing and offered for me to return so she could attempt another color correction free of charge. I was also told there would be no full or partial refund. At that point, I declined. After spending $275 specifically on an all-over color, sitting in the salon for more than three hours, and already having multiple attempts made to correct it, I prefer to return to the stylist that I know will get it right and save myself the time and further disappointment. I understand that hair color doesn't always turn out perfectly on the first application. I've had that happen at my usual salon. The difference, for me, is how it's handled afterward. In those instances, the issue was corrected quickly and successfully. I don't expect perfection every time, but at this price point, I do expect the finished result to reasonably resemble what was discussed--or for there to be a meaningful resolution when it doesn't. A few additional observations about the salon itself: it was extremely loud, to the point that having a conversation with my stylist was difficult. While I was there, another stylist had food delivered and appeared visibly irritated with the delivery driver because utensils weren't included, walking away shaking her head. I found that interaction uncomfortable and unprofessional to witness. My back also became soaked while I was at the shampoo bowl, and Ashley mentioned that this happens frequently because of the chairs they have. I do want to give credit where it's due: the salon was kept clean, and I repeatedly saw stylists cleaning not only their own stations but helping clean one another's as well. There seemed to be good teamwork in that regard. Unfortunately, cleanliness doesn't outweigh leaving after more than three hours, paying $400 for an all-over color and trim, and still having to go elsewhere to have the color corrected. I won't be returning and will be going back to my stylist at another salon. Lesson learned.

The salon is nestled between other shops with lots of private parking designated for the businesses. The shop is very spacious and is well maintained! Staff are always cleaning up as they go. You can tell the climate of a salon by the conversations they choose to have and I immediately picked up on a fun and creative vibe as I hear different discussions of how they worked with this or what they changed to visualize a different view or re-living a memory they all shared that brought laughter to everyone within ear shot range! It was apparent, the staff collaborated so well together! Emily brought me to the wash for prep. She was quick to assess my personal style and needs, and worked with me. She provided tips moving forward to improve the look of my hair and shared her vision of how my hair will complement the shape of my face. We also discussed hair color and highlights and if I would return, she shared her ideas she had to blend in with the color I already have. Doing business with Emily made my experience a pleasant one. She fueled my visit with purpose and that exemplifies the value of her work by understanding my personal style and visualizing how she can enhance and improve the look! I was pleased with her service and look forward to visiting again for color treatment! If you're in the area and are looking for a regular salon, I highly recommend this salon for all your hair care needs! Thank you, Emily!!

Not only was it gorgeous when I walked out of the salon, it has grown out beautifully since. Highly recommend Amber for corrective color and blonde! My goal was to grow out my short bob, and she gave me that without having to come in every 6 weeks for maintenance. I will be going back to Amber when I'm ready for another hair service. Pricing is about what you would expect for a higher end experience with corrective color. Salon itself is clean and i love the vintage dressers at the stations. So freaking cute! The owner is super responsive and was the one who recommended I see Amber, so huge thanks for that! Highly recommend overall.

This review is for Brooke Congalves:…read more I'm new to the area and had been searching for a new hairstylist, which can honestly be nerve-racking when you've been searching from someone you can trust with your hair for years. I don't have access to social media, so I ended up finding Brooke through Yelp and I am SO happy I did! I reached out to her by text and she responded almost immediately. Before my appointment, I sent her a photo of my current hair along with a few inspiration pictures of what I was hoping to achieve. Right from the beginning, communication was easy and I felt like she understood what I was looking for. The salon itself is adorable clean, welcoming, and has a really cute modern feel. When I met Brooke, she took the time to actually look at my hair and talk with me about my goals. One of the most important things to me is keeping my hair healthy because I'm trying to grow it long which has taken some time. She was very upfront that getting exactly where I ultimately want to be would be a process, and I REALLY appreciated that instead of trying to do too much in one appointment. She respected the integrity and health of my hair while still getting me incredibly close to my inspiration photos. Brooke was also just genuinely nice and easy to talk to. The entire appointment was comfortable, relax and I was in and out in about three hours, which was another huge plus. She's also only about a 15-minute drive from my house, so finding someone this close who I actually trust with my hair feels like hitting the jackpot! Her pricing was very affordable, but to be completely honest, the quality of her work was beyond! If you're looking for someone who listens to what you want, is realistic about the process, cares about maintaining the health and integrity of your hair, and can actually deliver what you show her in an inspiration photo, go see Brooke. So happy I found MY new stylist. 10/10. Absolutely recommend!

Rose @ Hair Studio Live…read more 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.

Before my appointment, I sent photos of both my current hair and the look I was hoping to achieve. I also explained that I had experienced significant breakage in the past and had spent over eight months growing my hair back out. Karen confirmed she was a blonde specialist and assured me she could achieve the look I wanted. I paid $400 for what was supposed to be a full service, but I left with uneven color, large sections of dark hair still visible throughout the top, underneath, around my ears, and along my neckline. The banding I wanted blended was still visible, and many areas had little to no lightening. I also felt the appointment was rushed. After I reached out with my concerns, Karen initially told me she had "foiled as much as she could" and that there wasn't much hair left to foil. However, she later said she could foil more but that doing so could damage my hair. That response directly contradicted what I had originally been told. If there was enough hair left to foil more, then it raises the question of why it wasn't done during the appointment. That inconsistency was very disheartening. Plus the excuse she didn't want to damage my hair? My hair is very healthy. I also did not want to come back for a redo because my trust had already been broken. After leaving with a result that did not resemble what we had discussed, I was understandably concerned about having the same outcome again. I asked if she would consider at least a partial refund. Although I don't even feel I received what would be considered a full partial highlight because so much dark hair remained, I requested only a partial refund simply to be fair for the time that was spent. Instead, I was told that she does not give refunds and that the only option was for her to fix it herself. It is not right to send a client home with uneven, incomplete results, say nothing about the issues, and then expect them to feel comfortable returning to the same stylist for a correction. I was trying to be reasonable by requesting only a partial refund, even though I don't believe that was a fair resolution considering the amount of corrective work that is still needed. Karen later told me she believed my appointment had been a color correction that took ten hours. Which it did not- it was a 5 hour appointment and not a color correction- she never mentioned to me before. Was a root melt and baby light. She then apologized and admitted she had confused me with another client. That only added to my concerns, as it suggested she was not accurately recalling my appointment while responding to my complaint. Learning afterward that Karen is the salon owner made the experience even more disappointing. As a salon owner, I would expect honesty, integrity, accountability, and a commitment to customer satisfaction. Unfortunately, I did not feel those qualities were demonstrated. This experience has been a waste of both my time and my money, and now I have to pay another stylist to correct the work that I originally paid $400 to have done properly.
