My daughter treated me to a facial with Kelli Munger- last Monday. The best I can describe. It was ballerinas tapping on my face, jumping swirling, dancing across my forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin. In one hour out in my life, but it gave back - my life. I'm 64 years old am I never looked so fresh, dewy and bright. Kelli made me feel so relaxed with the music in the atmosphere. She customized my facial by looking closely through magnifying glass and lighting to see what I needed. I'm quite sure with all of her skin care education she was able to create the perfect massage facial for me. I had immediate improvements in my texture , tone and radiance of my skin . read more

Nice ambience and cozy salon! They provide drinks, wine, water and coffee! My stylist Daniel is amazing, im asian with dark hair he turned my hair into blond perfectly without damage.. turns out it's not what i wanted and he was courteous enough to redo it and darken it with no extra charge. He just wants his client's happy! Very gentle and very nice skilled human being. I have never encountered this respectful and humble yet talented hair stylist, no attitude at all. Thank you so much, Daniel! You are amazing!! I'll see again in few weeks! I finally found someone that would maintain my hair and perfect hair stylist! read more

I got a couple nice hair cuts there. The stylist I had was a pretty older woman with bangs and fit. She was friendly and made me feel comfortable. All I remember was being shocked she was a grandma and that I had an enjoyable time. They serve champagne sometimes and it's just a nice vibe. She offered to cut may bangs for free if I came in but I never took her up on it because I decided to grow them out. There was no particular reason I stopped going there. I am just weird and sometimes switch people and try new places often. read more

Clean and friendly. Ample parking. I recommend this all purpose salon. Beautiful decor.

Initial miscommunication in scheduling but was later sorted out & made up for. What was becoming a frustrating 1st experience turned into a really good one. Thank you Shanna for a wonderful massage, making it right, and being very kind + graceful. Would definitely recommend.‍ read more

I dearly love my hairdresser. She does a terrific job too, quite expensive now, but worth it if you are as particular as I am. I'll follow Sarah A. anywhere she goes!!! Beautiful girl, inside and out read more

Kathy, aka Kat, does amazing work!!! She is a super sweet person who really cares about having a happy client. She really listened to me as I described my hair goals and even asked questions to make sure we were on the same page. The best part is that she delivered and I am extremely happy with the work she did. Just love my my blonde balayage highlights and haircut...now I can't wait for my next appt! The salon itself is also very nice. Excellent client care. Lots of great beverages to choose from and enjoy during your service. The space is clean and pretty and full of amazing products. Just remember to ask for Kathy! read more

Opulent - Hair by Kathy Long Blonde Balayage Highlights and a Haircut - Hair Salons Near Me - Bakersfield, California

One of the weirdest and WORST salon experiences of my life! I had my second appointment at Opulent this holiday season. My appointment was at 7:30am and shortly after starting my appointment (color was already applied) another client came in with a dog that whined and barked the whole time. Then the salon lost all hot water so the water was literally freezing cold for my shampoo. It was so chaotic that I just wanted to get out of there so I did not even notice that the hairdresser FORGOT to cut my hair before drying & styling it. When I got home & realized she did not cut it I called the salon and she said she realized she forgot to cut it and asked if I wanted to come back for the cut. I live about 40 minutes from the salon so I could not go back until the next day. Upon arriving for the cut the next day I fully expected an apology and an offer of a discount on future services or something to make it right. However, the hairdresser continued to make jokes about how funny it was that she forgot to cut my hair and even commented on how bad my appointment was due to the dog and the cold water. Unbelievable! People do not value other people's time or business any more. Very disappointing. I will NOT recommend this salon to anyone. read more

Daniel is THE best hair stylist/colorist I have had in my 50+ years! His specialty is blonde but he is great at all colors. If you want extensions he has excellent experience with that as well. He has done hair in Hollywood for red carpet events and he works right here in Bakersfield's own back yard!!! I highly recommend him for color, cut, extensions, Brazilian blowouts....he does it all and he does it well!! read more

Finding hair and makeup stylists for the big day was the hardest part of wedding planning for me! This make me either a super low-maintenance bride who doesn't really the wedding details or a narcissist who only worries about her looks? Who is to know, let's leave that up to the shrink! But struggles aside, I finally found a makeup artist who I loved and trusted her recommendation: Haley at Opulent. I already had a bad hair trial so I was super nervous. I became even more nervous when our first style I was not crazy about. But rest assured this was NOT Haley's fault, this was because I thought it would be fun to try something different (aka not me) for the big day. Big no no! Well I booked her anyways because I liked her as a person and trusted her immediately. I was not disappointed. She was the hit of the day. Every single bridesmaid raved about their hair, loved her fun and upbeat personality, and she was so fast and done in half the time we scheduled. She makes styling hair look so easy! It was such a fantastic and stress free day, and a huge part of that comes from her! Everyone loved her so much that I've had a couple friends get her number! Switching gears, I also get my facials done by Tangi here. Well words can't describe how amazing she is as an esthetician, so I won't even attempt it. Just know she's a Face Goddess and knows all you need to know and more. Just go, trust me, and go get yourself pampered by Tangi! read more

It was wonderful! Carrie knows her colorizing and I felt completely at ease as a new client. Pleasant environment. Refreshments offered upon arrival and lovely items available for purchase, The bonus was I was in and out: very reasonable amount of time. Loved it! read more

I only have many bad and negative things about this hairdresser. It's not spa like they say because they only offered me hairdressing service. The hairdresser who treated me is a very rude Russian lady, she did not want to take care of me because according to her I had lice and a lot of dandruff. I humiliate myself like never before in my life, I want to tell you that I only had a treatment to moisturize my hair. Never in my life have I had that kind of problem in my hair. I attended that hairdresser because I am only 4 minutes from my house and I stay next to the gym that I attend is hairdresser they have nothing of education and they make me think that they only did it because I am a foreigner but I want to clarify that the senorita is as foreign as me. read more

I only go to this salon because Jane Hulsey is there. She is the best in the business. I started going to her over 6 years ago and then I moved up both to the Bay Area. I have tried countless other people to handle my blonde hair and no one has ever even come close. Not only does she do the best blonde in all the state but she is fast and very reasonably priced. I keep telling her she should charge more for the quality she provides. I now drive 3.5 hours every couple of months just to get my hair done. Hands down she is the best I have ever met. She is well worth the drive and provides excellent customer service on top of everything else! In over 6 years I have not one single complaint and will continue to go to her until she stops doing hair, no matter the distance. She is the blondemaster but can truly handle anything no matter the color or cut. Once you go to Janae you will be hooked. read more

The customer service was terrible. I called needing an emergency single-color dye. My hair now has three colors and there wasn't enough time to fix it before I traveled the next morning. When I called to express my concern about the color(s) I was told, "Well... I guess you could come back...". The woman who was working on my hair spent the majority of her time complaining about the job to another employee and mentioned often that she needed to get home to her daughter. I think the fact that English is my second language made her feel comfortable enough to complain about me in front of me. I understand the importance of family but don't accept a client if you're simply going to rush the job to get back to your personal schedule. It was far too expensive ($200!) for the shoddy work. A glass of wine and some hair dye does not a beauty salon make. P.S. Why do hair salons nowadays only hire heavily tattooed purple/pink/blue haired women? Is that supposed to be reassuring or something? "I look like a fool so I know what I'm doing." ????? read more

Best haircut I've ever had from a very sweet and to the point Russian lady. She really knows what she's doing, to top it off, I had an opportunity to review her webpage which revealed absolutely stunning work! Turns out her education level in this field is Maestro level (Euro level 1) means she teaches Masters. Her language a little broken but admirable, qualified to work in two countries. As a lover of quality and above average standards I applaud her. Aurghh!! She's moved! read more

I always go to this salon to do my highlights, Misty and Vanessa are great, I never had any problems since I started coming here. But today I stopped by to purchase shu urmura hair oil that Vanessa recommended and the girl on the reception desk her name is Azur was absolutely not friendly. I asked her couple questions about the product and she answered with such an attitude and absolutely no desire to help. She never even looked at me since she was busy with something, while I was the only customer in the salon. It was 8 o'clock in the morning.I asked her to give me some samples and I felt like I am bagging for something. For salon like this I would expect better customer service,front desk personal is a first contact we make and service like this is absolutely not acceptable. read more

Awesome place for hair needs and nails Highly recommend trying this at least once My wife always gets her hair done there Love the customer service Ask for a wine if they offer a beverage and if you have time they also do facial peals and skin needs. Ask for Shelly she is the best !! read more

Mandy does a great job she's super friendly and I love my hair style!! However, for the working, single mom, with no family in town, who only has weekend time to get her hair cut; the no kids allowed policy is rediculous and discriminatory. I get some people don't take care of their kids and their kids are unruly; this is not the case with everyone. You are really singling out working single parents with no weekend child care thus not allowing equal access to all. I have referred many people to opulent, going forward I will hold my tongue in doing so. read more

Saturday, I visited Opulent for the first time. It is amazing! I loved everything about this Spa. I love the pedicure chairs and can envision a girls "Spa Day". Paige gave me an amazing facial. I am thrilled to see my favorite skincare line Skin Ceuticals. They make the best sunscreen I have ever used and my dermatologist recommended it. This is where I want to go for my mani, pedi, facial and then top it off with a blow out. read more

They have a sign out in front trying to sell you a gift card - don't do it. I was given a gift card of a substantial amount. I called to make an appointment for a massage and facial. I have driven all the way over twice to be told 1) 'oh we must have had a miscommunication because we don't have an appt for you' - I wouldn't have driven over if I didn't have one & 2) so they made another appt only for me to drive (25 miles) again to tell me the person I had an appt with is no longer there! They were not even apologetic. They make you feel like unless you are a regular you are a waste of their time. read more

JNae is especially good at cutting my 2 little boys hair-they look great and love seeing her. She really listens to what you want and candidly explains the process so you know exactly what's up. She's efficient, instead of casual, and has so much experience that it's easy and delightful to be in her chair, instead of awkward and anxiety-producing. read more

I just got a facial on thurs from Paige and it was amazing and the best She is amazing and very professional. Got my hair done the week before by Sharon Dunlap and she is one of the best hair stylist I have encountered. Highly recommend these individuals and this amazing, beautiful salon. Very well laid out read more

Mandy is always my go-to girl for my hair! Since the first day we met, I have not let anyone ever touch my hair besides her! She is amazing with her knowledge on hair and what to do and not to do!!! Definitely makes me fall in love with each experience at Opulent! read more

Rachel Darrah!! Wow! To have this caliber of expertise and experience with Rachel is astounding! I have very long red hair with a 6 month grown out Balyage! I was afraid to go anywhere because I figured no one would be able to do what I wanted and I would be terrified of the results. Rachel did the work of what a whole team of stylists would do! I have never had anyone able to do exactly what I asked for!! Above and beyond brilliant! She knows exactly what to do as far as complex coloring, highlights, blending etc...offers advise and suggestions that are much better than I would have imagined! My hair color came out flawless and I'm still in awe! The products she used were so effective on making my hair shiny and smooth as well! Been to the best of the best all over California and Rachel BLOWS them all away! She has great hair and great attitude! Lucky to have her as she is fit to be stylist to the Stars! Highest five star recommendation for this highly qualified stylist!! read more

If I could give 10 starts, I would. After 5 years of dark brown box dye, I was ready for a change and I knew it would be a long process given my hair is down to my waist and very thick! ....so I scheduled an appointment with Mandy Mason at Opulent Salon to slowly start going back to blonde.... I knew I was in for an adventure... because blonde from dark brown doesn't come easy...not only that, but good hair isn't cheap, and cheap hair isn't good! She is very reasonable for the work and attention to detail she puts in! Little did I know how even my color would be and how meticulous Mandy was about application AND I didn't have to sacrifice any of my length to get some beautiful blonde woven in to my VERY thick, VERY dark brown! Not only did she do a great job, but I left with my hair in beautiful and BETTER condition -despite stripping out, and then toning years of crappy box dye. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my new hair and can't praise the talent and patience of this woman enough! I've gotten so many compliments! I CAN'T WAIT for my next appointment!! read more

Got a great blow dry here and it was perfect (no frizz). Love the products they use and great atmosphere

This place has terrible customer service. My mom and sister (who live in Wisconsin) purchased a gift card for me and were told that I could walk in and pick it up. It took over 30 minutes to find the gift card. I asked if they could put the money back on the credit card that was used to purchase it and spoke to someone on the phone (manager) and all she kept saying is that it isn't their policy to return gift cards. She kept saying it says that on the receipt. I don't have a receipt and it doesn't say that on their gift card. I wasn't asking for more than the amount - I just wanted to return it. I don't care about their policy. What they don't have at this place is customer service and that person I spoke to on the phone didn't give a crap about why I wanted to return the gift card - only to keep telling me about their policy. She was rude and I am NOT happy. They should really make this right. Just angry. read more

I've always had excellent customer service at this salon, even when I just pop in for something. The salon is clean and sophisticated, bright and open. Janae has been cutting my hair longer than I can remember and she does an awesome job cutting, coloring, bleaching my hair. She's always taken great care of me and my hair is fine and thin and I'm an indecisive pain in the butt so it's not easy. read more
