It's nice to go in and be pampered (complimentary coffee, tea, beer or champagne)! I also love how exclusive the salon feels, there aren't a ton of people running around inside the salon, and because the salon is directly on the street you don't have to feel like you're in a fish bowl with foils in your hair. I also have to say that I LOVE the washing station chair, I know it's a weird thing to love but it is so comfortable (you'll get what I mean when you go). Couldn't speak more highly of Sarita and her services!!

I have thick, curly hair that does what it wants --- finding someone who is really skilled at cutting curly hair is always a challenge --- behold Lauren Burda. I adore her and everything she's ever done to my hair over the last few years at Found & elsewhere. I usually come in with vague ideas of what I want and I so appreciate her no BS guidance on the version of them that will work for me. My sister, who has seen every haircut of my life, talks about my last cut with her as a "really special haircut" (also just going to mention I got engaged a few days after it - that's some good hair energy); she has an incredible eye and being in her care has been a game changer for how I wear and feel about my hair. And! I finally got in to see Olivia and YES, so delighted to join the club of those obsessed with Olivia's coloring superpowers. She was so thoughtful and communicative in figuring out exactly where I wanted to go with the whole look before starting, and she created the most beautiful effect -- exactly what I wanted but also way beyond what I could have imagined. I had the best time in her chair all afternoon, and I just **love**, love lovvve my new color. Also, these two are total badasses for starting their own business in the middle of a pandemic. The salon is lovely, meticulously managed from a safety perspective, and SO FUN because they are both such sweet, generous & wonderful people who I feel lucky to get spend a few hours with while I'm there. Get to Found everyone + thank you so much Lauren and Olivia!!

There are so many great things to say about Liza - for starters, she was so patient with all of my…read morerequests and was able to help me find a balance between two totally different styles - I wanted heavy, contoured, modern glam (all about that defined brow and matte lip) BUT ALSO a soft, whimsical look because we were getting married in a forest! Impossible right?? She did such a great job of helping me find this look! Her opinions and advice were embraced and I even made a change to my lip color right before she finished off my whole look on the wedding day, and she remained cool, calm, and positive about it! Thank god because I was feeling all the wedding day anxiety. Now that I've had my makeup and hair done for several weddings, I wanted to note a couple things that she does differently which make her well worth your budget. She asks for photos of you with and without makeup prior to the trial (and hair naturally in a photo as well), and she does the same for your bridesmaids. This made me feel like she would be well-prepared for the wedding day for all the different skin tones and hair length that bridesmaids have, lowering the possibility to run short on time. She was also available throughout the year of planning, not just during the trial. I would email her photos and she would send some back, and I would send feedback about my trial look that I wanted to adjust after seeing the photos she took for me (hint - take photos and look at them a week or two later with fresh eyes). I noticed that she also took notes from our trial and had reviewed them on the wedding day - I haven't seen any other artist do this that I've worked with. This also helped with the time efficiency AND getting that look perfectly since the last time we had done the trial was months before. Trust me, you'll have Bride Brain no matter how organized you are and you can't have an artist who asks you what lip color it was that you had wanted. So glad she had the look all set to go and from there we went! I am so pleased with how my makeup turned out in my photos and lastly, she brought an assistant because I had so many bridesmaids and she was seriously incredible too. I LOVED my BM's makeup and hair (always a plus...haha)!

As a client, you really feel you are in great hands (literally) with Liza. I've had the privilege to be her face canvas for an outdoor boudoir shoot and for my wedding this past June. For the boudoir shoot, Liza did my hair and make-up and I remember coming home that night not wanting to take my make-up off because I've never had it done so good!

I can't say enough amazing things about The Blond Bungalow and Maritza. From the moment I walked…read morein, I felt so welcomed and cared for--but what she did for me goes far beyond just hair. Last year, I lost my hair due to chemo during my battle with breast cancer. It was one of the hardest things I've ever gone through, and regaining my confidence has been a journey. Maritza truly changed that for me. Her work with keratin bond extensions completely transformed my hair. Not only does it look beautiful and natural, but it made me feel like myself again. That feeling is priceless. She was so kind, patient, and understanding throughout the entire process, and you can tell how much she genuinely cares about her clients. If you're looking for someone incredibly talented who also has the biggest heart, Maritza is your person. I am beyond grateful for her and this experience. Thank you for helping me feel confident again--it means more than I can put into words.

Walking into Blond Bungalow ended up being one of the best decisions I've made for myself in a long…read moretime. I originally went in for a color appointment, but I had been quietly thinking about getting extensions for months. My hair has always sat around shoulder length and never seems to grow much past that, no matter what I do, so the idea of adding length and fullness felt both exciting and a little intimidating. From the moment I sat down with Maritza I knew I was in the right hands. She took the time to talk through what I wanted, what would work best with my hair, and how to keep everything looking natural and healthy. Her level of expertise and attention to detail immediately built confidence. The result was beyond what I imagined. The color looked beautiful, and the extensions blended seamlessly. The length and fullness feel completely natural, and the transformation honestly gave me a huge boost in confidence. It still feels like my hair, just the best version of it. Maritza truly nailed it. Her skill, professionalism, and ability to understand exactly what I was hoping for made the entire experience feel effortless. If you've been thinking about extensions but feel unsure, I can't recommend Maritza at Blond Bungalow enough. I'm so glad I finally went for it, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The photo attached really doesn't capture how great it looks in person. If you've been thinking about extensions I whole heartedly recommend Maritza.
