I went to get a balayage with Erin. I had been looking for a place to do my hair color before my wedding. I wanted something special and nice. She was very helpful since the first time I contacted her, answered all my questions. Her studio is very cute, she is very nice and made me feel very comfortable. She did an amazing job and I'm very grateful I found her. I recommend her 100% and I'm attaching pictures so you see why.

I have been getting my hair cut and colored by Erin for about 5 years. I'm not a fan of driving far distances, but have driven 45 min to an hour to get my hair colored by her. I trust her with my hair. She is very knowledgeable and honest with my hair goals. I have gone from brunette to blonde several times with her and each time my hair has remained healthy and undamaged. She does a great job at making new colors look natural and well blended. I highly recommend Erin! Also, her new studio is so cute!!

Ombre...Loved it and got lots of compliments even from Famous Blogger Marianna Hewitt who we used as inspiration from!

I've Been going to Erin for over 3yrs now and I've never walked out unhappy with my hair. Whether its for a quick trim or hair color...she def knows what shes doing! Shes done my hair from going from an ombre back to dark with my hair not taking a hit or being damaged at all! Shes skilled, knowledgeable and has expertise and gives you what your asking for at a professional level. My recommendation especially is for an Ombre by her! She does a great job and always does a great job making it look very natural!

I have been a client of Erin's for the last 4 years, now. She is one of the most professional, intelligent, and talented artists I've ever met. She is also very honest about what can be achieved both realistically and in order to maintain the integrity of your hair. Over the last 3 years, she has taken me from a dark, dark brown to my natural ash-blonde. I was also pregnant during the time and my hair's chemistry was totally off, causing the color to take differently in different areas and NOT lifting whatsoever. Needless to say, Erin had her work cut out for her, but she never complained and always, always tried to make me happy and keep my hair in good condition. Now my hair is exactly the shade I have been wanting and the maintenance is super low - perfect for a mother of a toddler. I'm always suggesting new colors or cuts to try and she never makes me feel like I'm annoying her (even though I probably am). Bottom line, Erin is amazing at what she does. You are guaranteed to love your color and/or cut! Be sure to book ahead seeing as she is usually booked out at least a week (another sign of a great stylist!).

After Erin's magic was applied!

I LOVE Erin! Shes the only one I trust my hair to. I've been with her for over four years, and shes the best! She knows exactly how to cut my hair according to its natural texture, so I rarely have a bad hair day. And her coloring skills are off the charts! I always leave her chair grinning ear to ear. Thank you Erin for always restoring my self confidence. She has skills and knowledge. I'm thankful she always answers my stupid questions with patience and accurate information. She'll always help me make informed decisions about a crazy new hairdos I think i want to do. Shes the best!

Cut and color from Erin. It has only been one day and I have already gotten so many compliments!
Kimberly M.

Erin has been the only person that I have let cut my hair for the last three years. I guess you can say I am a little picky on how I like my hair cut. Everywhere else I had been prior to becoming a client of Erin's required me to fix it when I got home (yikes!). After my first cut with Erin, my hair was exactly how I wanted it! I knew I would be a loyal customer. Yesterday, I decided jump out of my comfort zone and put some pink in my never-before-dyed blonde hair. I knew Erin was the girl for the job because I had heard that she is the best of the best when it comes to creative color. Not only did she add pink streaks but she also added dimension with hints of lavender and fuschia! (of course after asking my opinion). I came in with a pinterest picture for inspiration and left with a head of hand painted, melted color that blew my expectations away. Erin is the absolute best!

Texture Texture Texture

Erin and her team are amazing! She is very dedicated to her clients, and I've been a loyal client for eight years. Erin is always is so patient with me to help me find my hair goals. She truly cares about helping you feel and look your best. Most importantly, she is very knowledgable and is always innovating her salon.

Subtle balayage and no grays! Exactly what I wanted!!

I came in for a cut and balayage. It was about 6 months overdue for both. I showed Thao photos of…read morewhat I wanted and described a lob with warm, super natural balayage. Not the kind of white ashey blonde that most hairstylists do. I was also on a time crunch to pick up my daughter from school in time. I was totally apprehensive about giving someone new a try, but she totally delivered on exactly what I wanted, both the sexy cut and the perfect warm balayage. She also got me out in under 3 hours, which is crazy fast! When my husband saw my hair, he said, "I don't know what this is but whatever it is, THIS IS IT. This is the look." Best. compliment. ever. haha

I want to share a really lovely experience I had today with a new hairstylist I recently found Thao…read more‍ Thao is incredibly sweet, friendly, and easy to talk to, which made me feel very comfortable right away. Even though I only came in for a haircut, she took the time to give me honest advice about my hair. She recommended that I should focus on treating and restoring my hair first, and then come back next time for coloring so the results would look better and healthier. What really impressed me was her thoughtfulness -- she noticed that my roots had grown out unevenly in color, so she went ahead and blended the color to match the rest of my hair. And she didn't charge me anything extra for it, only for the haircut. You can truly tell that she cares about her clients and takes pride in her work. She's not only skilled but also very genuine and attentive. I will definitely be coming back to her again Highly recommend her if you're looking for someone talented, honest, and kind!

Plus it was an incredible price for everything I got done. 10/10 would come back a recommend!

Another update on Salon Domane Only rave great things to say…read moreabout them She the owner is always there and he's really nice and I think it's his wife who also works there and she's helpful and nice and they have water and offer you tea and they have candy and magazines and I go there for myself and I have a pretty complicated hair. It's naturally curly and light brown, which I haven't seen in 30 years. I bleached it out diet, baby pink, and get extension extensions put in this takes me four appointments. They are really really close to me and so I really really lucked out. Note to anyone who has never been there before, there is always parking right in front. It has a green painted curb though that says it's only 10 minutes, but it doesn't matter. It's fine. You can be there forever. It's fine I promise. Can I go to the nail shop next-door which doesn't really good job too. OK, back to Salon Domane things that I like about them is that I also go there every week with my mother like I said who just turned 80 and has Alzheimer's and jenn is so awesome that she's really booked so now I've seen two or three other stylist for her getting her hair washed and set or colored and they're all good with her. Everyone's really nice. And they have a good system that text messages me with confirmation confirmations and reminders, which is helpful because, well ADHD and stuff. Marissa is Jenny's assistant and she's really awesome too. They use really good products. It's a not a big place. Maybe like 12 stations. So it's not cheap, but it's totally not expensive either. I think it's appropriate. And for me who does extensions, she lets me get my own and bring them in and uses them which saves me money so I appreciate that but I recommend jenn for anything that is "different " as in hair color or styles. She hasn't had "natural" colored hair since I've met her and I haven't since I can remember either so I got lucky that she was the one available when I called to make an appointment with someone because I first found them through Instagram anyways. Lol this is long but that's me. Ashley is really nice, too. I really appreciate how patient they are with me and my mom. I've had to cancel last minute and even I have no showed before and I wasn't charged, which is very generous... Don't do it! Lol but yeah. Everyone's independent I think so. Just find who you like or just call and get the first person available cause I'm sure they'll be good. But if you do have something specific you are in mind, I'm sure whoever answers the phone can point you in a good direction of who is the best for you :))))) xxxooo Oh, and I'm picky AF when it comes to anything involving health and beauty and body care so yeah I'm so glad I found them cryyyyy

I cannot recommend Jayden enough! I've been trusting her with my hair for about 5 years now, and…read moreshe is truly the only person I want touching it. She has colored it, cut it, transformed it, and helped me maintain its health through it all. My hair has grown so much, is healthier than it's ever been, and I genuinely credit a lot of that to her. What I love most is that Jayden actually cares about the health of your hair. She always recommends the best products for MY specific hair and never pushes anything I don't need. She's extremely knowledgeable, talented, and pays attention to every little detail. If you're looking for a hairstylist who you can fully trust, BOOK WITH JAYDEN. You will not regret it!

I did an online inquiry and sent photos of my hair for a balayage service. I sent multiple photos…read moreof my hair and was quoted $360 for a cut and balayage. Once I went in person I was told it would actually be much more expensive since it was a color correction. I can't remember the exact price but I was not prepared to pay more than $500 at the time. I ended up getting my money piece done and the stylist did a good job at that but it still cost $150 plus hair cut so the total cost with tip was ~$250. I was just disappointed that I sent photos and got a quoted number and that the in-person quote was so different. The person who quoted and the person who did my hair were different people so maybe they didn't agree on the price with the actual stylist. I feel like they should communicate with each other. I later went to a different salon and they did not charge me for a color correction and it turned out great.

Louie is amazing; a true artist and professional!…read more I'm not an expert stylist, colorist, or hair dresser. So when I look for a hair stylist I'm expecting them to be the the knowledge experts on what color, cut, style would look best based on my skin tone, face shape, hair texture, etc. Louie did just that; he took a look at my hair and recommended a brown so I can slowly start transitioning to the lighter color I want. He explained the damage that would be caused to my hair if he kept bleaching it, and explained a healthier approach to lightening my hair. I walked in with hair dyed black, Loui, could have agreed to a much lighter color, bleached, and dyed my hair, charged me a lot of money, all the while knowing the damage this intense change in color would do to my already treated hair. I appreciated his honesty, and love my brown color, not only was it a healthier approach for my hair, but it also looks better than what I originally imagined. I'll be back again!

Dishonest people, horrible experience. I brought my daughter to get her hair done for her 11th…read morebirthday, to get the tips of her hair bleached then dyed blue with a Brazilian blowout to help tame her curly hair. We had an appointment with Vanessa Mendez on September 2, 2025 and I explained to her what I wanted done but she didn't do that--apparently she did something according to a picture my daughter showed her when I was moving my car. The problem with the photo my daughter showed her is that the girl in the picture had straight hair, completely different than my daughter's hair. When you are 10, you can't understand that your hair won't look like that of the picture. I don't know if you have kids but I'm guessing Vanessa does not. You do what the parent says, not the child. So here's all the reasons I'm upset: 1. Although I just wanted the bottom 3 inches or so to have color, she bleached it almost all the way up to her roots in front, maybe an inch from the top. 2. Blue. I said BLUE. After the bleaching process, she started putting GREEN with a slightly blue tint dye on her hair. I stopped her and said it needed to be more blue. She begrudgingly went back and added blue but now, 3 1/2 weeks later, the color has washed out and it's an awful shade of light green. The reason why I wanted blue is because I knew the color would wash out and light blue would look so much better than this brassy green color it now is. 3. I asked Vanessa if she thought a Brazilian Blowout would help smooth out the texture of her hair and she assured me that it would but it didn't. If anything, it's made her hair more dry and crunchy than it would have been otherwise. I have had Yuko Japanese straightening done on my own hair so I know that the 2 swipes with a flat iron wasn't enough to do anything but I trusted she knew what she was doing. Within an hour after leaving the salon, her hair was poofy, frizzy and felt like straw. Mind you, this was on 100% virgin hair that had never had any treatments of any sort. 4. We spent the entire day at this salon, from 10am to around 3:45pm and Vanessa made us feel like we were bothering her the entire time. She didn't talk to us at all, except when I had to intervene in what she was doing and only in response. This outing cost me over $700 so I was upset to see that the salon is now "temporarily closed," according to Yelp. The phones are disconnected and I've gotten no response by email or Facebook. I literally feel like she stole my money since she either didn't know how to do a Brazilian Blowout or she just didn't care. In hindsight, (it was probably Vanessa's guilty conscience since she knew she was charging me for a Brazilian Blowout that we didn't get), I tipped her too well because she asked me multiple times if I was sure I wanted to give her that big of a tip. Also in hindsight, she probably wasn't worried about me coming back to complain since she knew the salon was about to close down. Google shows that Salon Soleil is supposed to reopen January of 2026, rest assured I will be driving by to check on a regular basis but I'm not getting my hopes up.

I have followed her from salon to salon for over 10 years and there is no one else that could deliver all the requests I've asked her for over the years.

Even though I don't see many people because I wfh, I still try to see Mel regularly because she is just the best and knows what to do to revive my hair. I travel over an hour to see her now, but it's worth it. The studio is also super cute, clean, and has a cute boutique attached. Parking is abundant and there's a Trader Joe's close by!
