I'm going to admit it publicly... I'm a box dye kinda gal . (There's a stylist out there somewhere in the world who just passed out from me saying that). I know I KNOW... it's horrible for you BUT it's just convenient, ya know? It's like frozen chicken nuggets-fast, cheap, convenient, and horrible for you. It gets the job done event though it's temporary. Ok so what brought me to this moment? I had always talked about getting my hair done with my girl Jess. Jess and I go way back and she LOVES La Dama. She's goes way back with them. She gave me contacts for hair but right when I would think about booking, that box dye just whispers "I'm 2 for $14 at Target, Sis!" and I would put the phone down in a trance and go to Target. My hair was sad, lackluster. I think my dog's coat is better than mine. Anyway, so Jess plans this "girls trip" and we magically end up at the new La Dama salon that's in The Row. I'm thinking, oh she probably just needs to get a touch up, I'll just wait. NOPE! She was like, Happy Birthday & Merry Christmas B****! (She didn't add that last word. I added it for exaggeration because it was like a mic drop moment). So FIRST, damn this place is nice!!! It's so chic and incredibly decorated. Jessika (owner and not the "Jess" mentioned above LOL) is so nice!!!! Her and Evelin had their work cut out for them with my hair. You'll be proud though, because I switched to Olaplex 3 weeks prior to this happening so I got a little win in LOL (still ashamed of my box dye). Hair coloring is such a PROCESS. It's legit chemistry with color and it's so dope to watch. They'll be like "yea let's do a 4N and a 5C" (I made up those numbers off of slight recall but IYKYK). I was in and out of the chair for 2-3 hours maybe? I have so much more respect for stylists and am so humbled by the entire experience because each persons hair is different and has a different template. The ability to look at hair and know what a client wants would give me anxiety. When I was finished, my hair looked straight out of Pinterest. I think the first thing out of my mouth was "Oh damn" Hear me: I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO THE BOX. A little louder for those in the back: DROP YOUR BOX DYE, SIS! I made my touch up appointment with Evelin for January and I couldn't be any happier. I think what really did it for me, besides the fabulous hair, is that the women here are GENUINE. I felt cared for and they engaged it in meaningful conversation that made you feel at ease - Like you were talking to an old friend. Small businesses make me happy and women owned business just make my heart smile.

This is my hair before.

I wanted to take a moment to share my recent experience at your salon. While I appreciate the effort put into my haircut, I must express my disappointment with the final result. Unfortunately, the technique used did not align with what I had expected, and it ultimately didn't suit my hair type. I came in with a clear idea of the haircut I wanted, and while I understand that challenges can arise, I was hoping for a better outcome. The execution fell short of my expectations, leaving me feeling dissatisfied with the overall experience. I Trusted the stylist, when finished she did not style my hair which what a standard haircut comes with. I asked but she said that she had no time as she had scheduled someone else. I decided to just leave at that point she also asked me if she could fix anything. I said no as I didn't want my haircut any shorter. I believe there might have been a miscommunication regarding the style or perhaps a misunderstanding of my hair type. I was confident that the haircut I requested was within the realm of possibility for my hair, yet the end result proved otherwise. Moving forward, I would encourage a closer attention to detail and a deeper understanding of clients' hair types and preferences. Clear communication throughout the process is key to ensuring customer satisfaction.

I Am Speechless My sister kept recommending. I set up a hair appointment at La Dama and I cannot put into words how amazing I feel. I have been wearing the same hair color for over 10 years because I was afraid of change but as a woman we need to step into the fear of discomfort and let me tell you Jessika and Jordan made me feel like $1 million dollars. They took their time with me and made every moment feel luxurious. I felt like I was the only client in the salon. My hair feels so soft & so beautiful. I've gotten three compliments from just walking from the salon to the parking lot. Ladies, you're ready for a change. This is your sign - La DAMA salon! I Feel Unstoppable. I Feel Vibrant. I Feel FULL OF LOVE . Thank you for pointing into my soul and heart while getting my hair done. 10+ plus stars!!!

Jessika and her team at La Dama are absolutely amazing. There is a true artistry to her work that you just don't get everywhere you go. I've been coming to Jessika for a few years now and I can't imagine ever going anywhere else! I'm extremely picky, and to be able to say that I trust her completely and blindly is a huge statement! The color? Immaculate. The blend? Phenomenal. She has such a great team as well - every person I've ever seen walk out of this salon has looked stunning! I have really dark hair and the way she gets the blond balayage to blend in seamlessly is beyond me. If you're looking for a new salon, do yourself a favor and look no further!

Balayage, Cut & Style

I booked with my Stylist Alyssa and she Took Care of Me So Well! I made an appointment online; She was great at communicating and helping me decide what would be the best option for my virgen hair. I got a Balayage, Cut and Style and left feeling like the best version of myself! I absolutely recommend the La Dama Salon, it is beautiful and welcoming. Book with Alyssa and you will absolutely enjoy the visit.

I love La Dama Salon! I have had nothing but the best service with them. Last year, I was about to get married and my eyebrows desperately needed to be re-mircobladded. I had been going to another shop and they completely let me down by not being able to do the service prior to my wedding. I was absolutlely devistated, but thankfully I was able to meet with Brenda Zelaya from La Dama and she set me back on track for my big day. Brenda is an amazing artist who made me feel like her #1 priority and was able to transform my brows into the sophisticated look I had been searching for. Thanks to Brenda I looked just how I envisioned for my wedding. And since, I have received so many compliments on the brow shape/ color and overall look of my facial appreance (I swear I look younger!!!). I highly, highly, highly recommend going to her!!!

Balayage by Alyssa N.

A beautiful salon with talented stylists, great atmosphere with wonderful women running it. I had the privilege of getting my hair done by Alyssa Newbold. She was thorough with getting to know me before my appointment, in order to best serve me day of. Alyssa created the balayage of my dreams!!! She asked many questions, and also gave me many recommendations to make sure my hair would suit me overall. She also gave me some insight on hair-care, which was very helpful. I couldn't be happier with my visit at La Dama Salon, with Alyssa Newbold. I will be back!!! :-)

Alyssa does my color and she is so amazing! Alyssa does the most amazing vivid color looks but she also does a phenomenal balayage, extensions, etc. she is so bubbly and absolutely beautiful inside and out. I love being in her chair. She has done balayage as well as giving me all the coppers and reds. I always love how it turns out. Follow her insta: @loxxbylyss

I was looking for someone I could trust with my virgin hair and I found Alyssa Newbold through Instagram @loxxbylyss She did an amazing job Before the appointment she asked very detailed questions regarding my hair history, I appreciated that she took time to learn about my hair and make a game plan to get me my dream hair. She's truly talented

Regina S.

Can't say enough good things about my experience at La Dama! First of all, the salon is absolutely beautiful. Such an inviting ambiance, I love the minimalist yet sophisticated decor. Alyssa did my hair and she nailed it. It was my first time having my hair done with her and definitely won't be the last. She took so much care to make sure we got the result I was looking for and she also made sure to educate me on aftercare. I'm obsessed with my new color! Can't wait for my next appointment.

Upon entering to check in, there is a cute little area with snacks, water, and tea- with a few seating options. And if you want to see one of the largest selections of Eminence and Image Products...oh my goodness, yeah, they have it! I was sooo happy exploring all the products. In visiting another local spa for years, they never had as many products on hand as I saw today. My Esthethician today, Ruben, not only took the time to really talk about all the new products I asked about, but his skills and demeanor during the facial- just wonderful! Personable, talented, knowledgeable...I highly recommend seeing Ruben. I also learned that special orders can be made for Eminence and Image products, as well as Nairian, which is another product brand, but from Armenia. From the Eminence Line, I purchased Soothing Chamomile Tonique, Stone Crop Hydrating Mist, & Citrus & Kale Potent C +E Serum. Service info: I enjoyed a customized Elite Facial today, and I'm eager to try the Hydrafacial in the future. I changed into a spa wrap, and got super comfy, relaxed, blanket and all! The steam, the products and application, gentle touch/massage, and lovely conversation made my first experience memorable. Bravo to Owners Sevag & Susie for managing this great business- well done!

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Kathleen Behr and her entire team in Fresno…read more My experience began with Nayeli, who gathered my information and explained the available procedures and what might work best for me. She was knowledgeable, helpful, and made me feel comfortable from the beginning. The office stayed in contact with me, arranged a very convenient pre-procedure phone appointment, and coordinated my surgery date. When I arrived, everything went seamlessly. Cosmetic procedures are not inexpensive, and this was the most money I have ever spent on myself. I can honestly say it was also the best money I have ever spent. Until you go through a procedure like this, you may not realize how much happens behind the scenes for just one patient. I had an entire team--including Christine, Priscilla, Gabby, and Teresa--and every one of them played an important role. They worked together in complete unison and were professional, caring, and helpful throughout the entire process. I was prepared, positioned, numbed, and carefully guided through each step before Dr. Behr took over and performed the procedure. She was amazing. Although I am only three days into my recovery, I am already very happy with my results. I was also impressed by how fairly the practice treats its patients financially. My consultation fee was only $50, while many practices charge $100 to $150. That immediately told me they were not trying to take advantage of patients from the beginning. I had also seen that some practices charge an additional $100 to $150 for the required post-surgery compression garment. Dr. Behr's office provided mine at no additional charge. That may seem like a small detail, but it meant a great deal to me because it showed that they were not going to nickel-and-dime me throughout the process. The practice also offers several helpful ways to communicate and save money. I joined the Behr Club, which saved me a significant amount on my procedure. They also helped me sign up for Allē--the app with the halo--which allows patients to earn rewards and save money on certain treatments and products at participating providers. Be sure to ask about both programs. Because I live in Sacramento and cannot always drive to Fresno, the Allē program will be especially valuable to me. I had researched and visited practices in Sacramento but never felt completely comfortable with any of them. While working on assignment in Fresno, I contacted Dr. Behr's office, and I immediately knew I had found the right place. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Kathleen Behr and her wonderful staff to anyone considering a cosmetic procedure. They offer an extensive range of services, treat their patients with genuine care, and work together as an exceptional team. God bless all of you, and thank you for making this such a positive and meaningful experience. Make the call youll thank me : Behr Laser & Skin Care Center 1125 E Spruce Ave Ste 103 · (559) 435-7546

Follow up~ I have called the office several times now to…read morespeak with Dr. Behr regarding her response to my Google review. After speaking with different staff members, I was told that she does not take calls. I left messages requesting a call back, but still have not heard from her. I remain willing to discuss a resolution directly with her. I rarely leave negative reviews, but after my experience, I feel it is important to warn others before they spend thousands of dollars here. I paid a $250 deposit and an additional $3,575, for a total of $3,825, for filler and Botox treatments performed by Dr. Desai. From the very first follow-up appointment, I repeatedly told the medical assistant that I was unhappy with my results. At every appointment, I explained that I had developed small bumps underneath my eyes, that my marionette lines were not improving and continued to show bumps, and that I was disappointed with how everything was turning out. Dr. Desai also injected my nasolabial folds, yet those lines are still visible. Despite repeatedly expressing my concerns, I felt they were dismissed instead of being taken seriously. During my appointments, Dr. Desai told me that the Botox she had recommended interfered with the fillers. That statement left me questioning why that treatment plan had been recommended in the first place. If I was being told that one treatment interfered with another, why would I feel comfortable proceeding with additional procedures? At that point, my confidence in the treatment plan had been significantly diminished. I have allowed adequate time for the treatment to settle and for any improvement to occur. Given the number of injections I received and the significant financial investment I made, the outcome does not reflect the scope of the treatment. After allowing adequate time, I met with Dr. Behr to discuss my concerns. During that visit, she recommended performing additional treatment. However, I did not feel comfortable proceeding with more procedures because of the concerns I already had, including being told that the Botox recommended by Dr. Desai interfered with the fillers. I wanted my concerns addressed and understood before considering any additional treatments. During that same process, I asked Dr. Behr to review and compare my before-and-after photos because my results looked nothing like the photos I had been shown or expected. Dr. Behr refused to look at my photos or compare them. It was after this that the medical assistant made the statement that "everyone in the Central Valley knows that it doesn't last," which was extremely concerning to me given the amount of money I had invested. I also asked the office manager, Kristy, for a copy of the documentation showing my concerns from each of my visits. Kristy stated that she would send those records to me through email. To this day, I have never received the documentation she said she would provide. The documents that were provided to me did not include any statements or notes showing that I had expressed my concerns during my visits. I did everything I could to give the office an opportunity to address my concerns. Instead of feeling heard, I felt dismissed. After spending $3,825, I expected professional care, honest communication, and accountability when I expressed that I was unhappy with my results. Because of my experience, I cannot recommend this practice. I am sharing my experience so others can make an informed decision before investing a significant amount of money. I am requesting a full refund of the $3,825 I paid. Given my experience, the concerns I raised throughout the process, and the outcome I received, I believe a full refund is warranted because of the results did not reflect the expectations and information that were discussed prior to treatment.

I bought two luxury packages for my husband and I as an anniversary gift, after reading the reviews. I wanted to love it, after a stressful quarter at work and a day off to relax, I thought this would be just the thing. It started out well. Low lights, quiet music, then a cell phone went off, not silent. It was the woman's phone who was doing my treatment. Ok, I'm thinking, maybe an emergency, you never know, let's give the benefit of the doubt. She answers the phone and walks out of the room. She comes back we get back to the treatment, another phone call, then a third. She takes the calls each time and walks out of the room. A man comes into an adjacent space next to ours and his phone is dinging as well. Now, that is not the salon's problem, but after the fifth interruption to what is supposed to be calm and relaxing, it's anything but calm and relaxing. The package is supposed to come with a shoulder and arm massage. I didn't get that. All in all, not what I expected or paid for.
