Gave me the wrong hair treatment and didn't tell me. My experience with Kayla Wood at La Ti Da was unbelievable in the worst way. This was my first time seeing her, and she was recommended by locals on Facebook for Brazilian Blowout treatments. I walked in expecting professionalism. What I got was the exact opposite. I made it painfully clear, multiple times, when making the appointment and in person, that I wanted the original, stronger Brazilian Blowout formula, not the light version. She looked me in the eye and assured me over and over that she'd be using the original formula. She literally even told me that she had to source the original formula for my appointment from someone outside of CA because CA no longer sells the strong original formula. Fast-forward a few weeks, my hair looked nothing like a real Brazilian Blowout. Frizzy, wavy, dull--nothing even close to the results I've had for 15 years with other stylists. I've had approximately 25 original formula Brazilian Blowouts over 15 years so I know exactly how my hair reacts. So I reached out privately and politely via text, asking her for her advice, her opinion, and asking if maybe too little product was used and if next time she could use more. I also sent her pictures of my now wavy, frizzy hair. And that's when SHE CASUALLY ADMITTED SHE'D ACTUALLY USED THE LIGHT VERSION--the exact product I told her I did NOT want. She never told me this during the appointment. Not a word. I only found out because I asked. There's nothing "miscommunication" about that. That is a straight-up undisclosed product swap. But the absolute icing on the cake: when I politely asked for a PARTIAL refund (I was willing to pay for her time but I wanted a partial refund because I now have to pay someone else to redo the correct treatment), she refused... and then sent me a message saying she'd filed a police report! And if I contacted her again she would file an additional report for harassment. Over what? Me asking why she used a completely different formula than the one she promised? And as unbelievable as that is, something additionally wild happened during the appointment. While she was in the middle of my treatment, she made a personal phone call right next to me asking her husband how much he'd been drinking and telling him he was too drunk to pick up their child from school. I just sat there stunned, stuck in the chair while she had this whole conversation inches from me. Meanwhile we weren't done with my service, and suddenly she had less than 30 minutes to get to the school herself. It was chaotic, unprofessional, and honestly uncomfortable. Now, after telling me she had filed a police report, she claims I "left before the service was finished" and is using it as an additional excuse. That is absolutely not what happened. I did exactly what I've done for 15 years with every Brazilian Blowout I've ever had -- I chose not to have the stylist do the second wash because many clients prefer to leave the product in longer so the treatment sets better. Every stylist I've ever had has offered that option, including Kayla. She even told me a lot of her clients prefer to leave with the product in. So to see her later twist that into "you left in the middle of the service" was incredibly disappointing, especially given that the real issue was that she used an entirely different product than the one I requested in the first place. I've never in my life dealt with a stylist who changed a product without telling me, admitted it, denied it, and then tried to intimidate me for asking about it. The whole situation went from disappointing to surreal. I'm leaving this review because I wish someone had been brutally honest before I booked. If transparency, professionalism, or basic respect matters to you, please think twice. I definitely won't be going back. Edited after owner response: I'm posting this because the salon's response doesn't reflect what was actually communicated to me. I was never told the formula I requested was illegal--Kayla told me she had sourced the stronger formula from out of state and confirmed she'd be using it. I only learned otherwise yesterday when she acknowledged in writing that she used a different product, which contradicts the public response. I was also never offered a free correction, only asked to "come in and talk," which didn't address the issue. And how could they "correct" the service when the original service I requested wasn't performed in the first place? I have everything in writing, and my review reflects the actual communication. I even tried to resolve this privately with a 50% refund request since the wrong product was used, while still compensating her for her time. Kayla responded saying the salon does not offer refunds and she had filed a police report. It's unfortunate the salon chose not to resolve this professionally and privately. read more

I went in for a bleaching service and my experience with Heather was extremely upsetting. Before my appointment, my hair had volume, sat well on my head, and did not constantly tangle. During the service, Heather aggressively backcombed my hair and began the bleaching process. Almost immediately, the top of my head became completely flat, and since then my hair no longer sits right or has any natural volume. The texture and behavior of my hair changed significantly after this appointment. I also want to mention that I have a sensitive scalp, which I communicated during the service. Each time I said "ow" because my head was hurting, it was brushed off and laughed at instead of being taken seriously. That response felt unprofessional and dismissive, especially while a chemical service was being performed. This experience left me uncomfortable both physically and emotionally, and my hair has not been the same since. I would not recommend this business to anyone who cares about their hair health or expects their concerns to be respected during a service. read more

When you finally crawl out of your Covid Cave, make this salon your first lifesaving pit stop! After moving from San Diego, and with the same hair stylist for years I walked in, and met...The miracle worker KATIE! I had left her with what I will loosely call "roots", but the reality was I looked like a honey badger with a 4" swath of gray running down the middle and a side of Sea Hag. A serious crime scene. With no help in color really and not any pictures of what I looked like back in 2019 from me as direction haha, she let her creativity and years of knowledge guide her to one of the cutest hair styles and beautiful multi tonal hair color jobs she could gift a girl. I was so excited to see color again I opened my sunroof and stared at my shiny, brown, carmel and coppery tones all the way back to Angels Camp. I feel so blessed to have gotten her as my person! If your lucky enough to grab her or any one of these talented ladies for hair, nails or lashes, you won the lotto and are a winner! And I wasn't kidding about the sunroof stare! read more

Well, it's been two years just about since I had my hair done by India one year since I put this review on Yelp and I still have not gotten my money back for the crappy fake hair extensions that they tried to pass off as $700 extensions I don't know what this place is trying to pull but don't buy any extensions from them because they'll switch out your good ones for crappy ones and give you give it to you in a Ziploc bag. Still waiting for my refund. read more

Long time client...salon made a rule that no kids are allowed which is 100% understandable. However the owner of the salon consistently has a baby and other kids in the salon. If I'm paying to go to a "no kids environment" then the expectation is NO KIDS. My last appointment there was a baby in there the whole time with two kids watching the baby. This happens often. Double standards aren't acceptable and rude. Thank you for your response. However I know your daughter and I was not referring to her. And your grandson is in several days a week and not purely for a "visit." I understand your desire to "defend yourself" but please take a moment to step back and reflect from a client's point of view who is in the salon often. You're making excuses for the fact that you're maintaining a double standard. Take the constructive criticism and do what you will with it. But do not try to pretend that this review is anything but truthful and accurate. Clients are entitled to opinions as well. Also this is not retaliation for being told I can't bring children. I've never even attempted to bring children to my services. I'm simply pointing out my opinion and the opinion of friends who are also clients but fear saying anything out of retaliation. Thanks read more

I have had one too many bad hair experiences to count with OTHER salons.... I had a service with Karlee and had high hopes from looking at her work online. She did an amazing job with my hair. It's brown on-top and a very outgrown and faded cobalt blue under. I wanted to switch to purple under. She made sure we were getting the exact shade of purple I was looking for my hair came out perfect and I'm soo happy! Looking for bold colors? Karlee is your girl read more

Kayla is great! She put lashes on for me yesterday and they look great and are very soft. I've worn lashes for about 2 years. My first lash lady was great and I never had adverse reactions but she had to quit her business. Since then I went to two other lash ladies and both times had terrible eye swelling from them leaving glue on my upper lid close to the lash line. Kayla is very knowledgeable and experienced, you won't be disappointed. Thank you Kayla! read more

I have been to at least five different gals at La ti da Salon for various services and have always had a great experience. From eyelash extensions to full blonde highlight and from sugaring to facials, the service is always top-notch. It is super cute inside with an ample waiting area and clean bathrooms. I love the downtown Sonora location, and you can't help feeling beautiful when you walk out those doors. I highly recommend. read more

I made an appointment with Katie and she was absolutely the sweetest. I kind of let her play with my haircut and although I am not thrilled with it I did tell her go for it!? It will grow out quickly so I am fine with it!! Next time I will be more specific about what I want. I would see her again! I wasn't thrilled with the location as parking sucked and since I have to walk with a cane right now I was so lucky to find a spot right across the street! The salon is in the old downtown area! Beautiful place and super clean!! read more

This place is too cute, tucked away on Washington street. Loved the vibe and everyone was kind, cute and happy to answer any questions I had. Danielle did a wonderful job on my new full set (new to me technique ) Hard Gel, it def took amazing skills for her to finish me so quick and exactly what I was looking for. I'm stoked to visit La Ti Da Salon in a few weeks for the works! Teeth whitening, gel fill, lashes, and even a new piercing! (They are a one stop shop for us Mountain Glam Gals!) read more

La ti Da Salon - fresh new nails - Hair Salons Near Me - Sonora, California

So I went to this salon because walking by they all had really good hair. I went to Lisa.....5 months and $1,000 later I still wasn't blonde. So I switched to Heather. I was very verbal in expressing what I wanted. I just wanted white highlights and to be able to maintain them. After so many trips to the salon I tried to only tone my own hair. I was not getting the results like why does blonde highlights take 6-10 hours???????? I have spent so much money and time. my husband even came with me to an appointment and it was 6 hours!!!!!!!! like wth????? This most recent trip I went in for a touch up was charged 200 and she only did the crown portion of my hair and that was 6 hours, even then I came out darker then when I went in so I had to go back another 4 hours....... Now my hair is snapping off.....So I wont go back......Too many hours in the salon chair.....I know blonde takes time but it's been hours and hours and months and months at what point do I get blonde highlights like I want? I have spent so much money.......and Now I am stuck with fried brassy colored blonde...go to someone who knows exactly how to get what you want and not hoping for the results but is confident in them. read more

It was quick and easy to book an appt, the owner got back to me within 30 min and was flexible to get me in as soon as possible. The salon is cute and clean-- it was just the stylist and her client inside when I arrived, the client was getting her hair curled and not wearing a mask which I thought was strange given the sign on the front door explicitly said: "Please wear a mask with ear loops during the duration of your service"--unclear why this was not being enforced. My cut was quick and the service of the stylist (I think her name was Sarah, she had died red hair) was great as she was kind and friendly but not overly chatty which is always appreciated. The cut itself was good and what I asked for, the style however was also good but less impressive. My hair is fine and naturally doesn't have much volume so it takes some technique with hair drying to to ensure volume is viable, she dried it flat to my head so it wasn't my best look. Overall the service was good and the price was totally worth it, I would come back--although I would feel more comfortable knowing they were enforcing their mask rule and sanitizing the chair after each guest. read more

It was my first time coming to this salon, and they put me with Katie. Can I just say, that she is amazing??? So I went in and there was a bit of confusion on how long my appointment was going be... I thought 2 hours was enough time, but what do I know lol. The person that booked me didn't tell me that she scheduled me for 3 hours. No biggie! Katie rushed in 2 hours trying to make it work. My hair was a bit cooler than I liked, so I text Katie asking her if she could make more golden (I have darker skin), and she was completely accommodating. 5 star service. After I left the salon with the more golden highlights, and a beautiful cut and style, I could see women admiring my hair. My hair was and is amazing. Thank you Katie! read more

Kayla exceeded my expectations with my hair extensions. I could not be happier. She is a perfectionist that won't settle for anything less than the best result!

The salon is very well managed and runs on schedule. She gave me my dream hair! 10/10 would recommend. read more

It's been two weeks since Danielle did my gel nails and they still look flawless! This is saying something since I just moved and I'm not easy on my nails. She also added some primer or something (I forget) to make it last longer.. and didn't charge extra. I told her I always have problems with gel lifting and she made sure to seal them off and give me an extra file and buffer. It's been nice to have nice nails last through the holidays! Thanks lady! The salon is also adorable and everyone is really friendly. read more
