Got a chopped job from here. Place was clean and organized and the people were great but the person who cut my hair did a horrible job. Glad to finally found someone somewhere else to fix it. read more

I can't recommend Cass enough for color. She's the best I've been to in town and I don't understand why her prices are not higher. I am always confident I will leave loving my hair. read more

Primary The Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Bakersfield, California

In this era of everything being digital thank god I found this place. I struggled to get a simple trim at three other salons. Can't get ahold of a human. All saying appointments only go on website and communicating via text. I walked in and asked if they had anyone available for trim. Was helped right away! Staff was wonderful and attentive. And I love my haircut! Thank you! I believe my stylist name was Adrianna ( if I got it incorrect my apologies). Will be back again. read more

Had a great experience at Primary the Salon. Raymond did a fantastic job with my hair he new exactly what I was going for. I asked for face framing highlights with subtle highlights throughout my hair and it came out so beautiful!! Raymond was friendly and ensured to make the experience worthwhile (including small drinks/ snacks. read more

I have worked with some of these people before and they're all very talented. So I'm not going to review the individuals because you can figure that out all on your own. Although Ray has been doing my roots for over a year... this is more of a review on the salon it's self. The salon is white and clean and modern. It reminds me of one of the places I've worked at in Sherman Oaks. Except it has a more relaxed feel to it everything is modern from the bathrooms to the hairdryers. There's a cute little loft that leads you to skin care services and a break room. And of course my favorite thing is the Lazy Susan filled with snacks upfront by the coffee and the receptionist. ;) read more

This salon itself is cute, trendy, and welcoming! But this review is specifically for the girl who cut & colored my hair - Cassie (@hairbycassiecat on ig) did an amazing job! She was super friendly and knowledgeable and my hair turned out absolutely gorgeous. I've had mishaps in the past with other stylists who don't listen to what I'm trying to say; Cassie didn't just listen, she also understood and improved upon my ideas! I left with the peachy rosy hair of my dreams. I won't go to anyone else anymore! Highly recommend!! read more

Primary The Salon - Cassie gave me the peachy rose hair of my dreams! - Hair Salons Near Me - Bakersfield, California

I have been going to this salon since they opened and I no complaints. I always go to Cassie Cat to do my hair and she is always professional and does exactly what I want! She definitely is in the correct line of work. I also trust her to do both of my daughters hair. My little one who is 7 used to be so scared of salons and getting her hair cut and I warned Cassie she may freak out but she had a way with my kid that she didn't cry move or flip out once. As for my 13 yo she sees Cassie about every 2-3 months to get her hair color changed and surprisingly the prices are not that bad either. I will definitely continue to come and see Cassie Cat !!!!!!!!!!!! read more

The salon is absolutely beautiful hip and clean. When I say they are clean I mean they are very clean! They take the extra steps to make sure that everything they use is recycled or reused into make something else out of it. For instants the hair from the ground is sent off to a company that makes it into little balls that soaks up oil in the ocean. All the leftover hair dye is sent to a company that breaks it down and turns it into some type of reusable energy. Not only do they have amazing hairstylist and a beautiful salon, They take the extra measures to help clean up and be green in today's society! That means a lot to me. I personally come here and see Britney and I think she is the best hairdresser in the whole world. She literally makes my hair shine with rainbows and happiness. If you were looking for a hair artist she can literally transform your hair into anything you want it to be. She can even paint your spirit animals in there, or even paint All the rainbows your heart has ever desired. She is the queen of the prism pop! I love her! I love primary read more

Primary The Salon - Getting my hair done by Brittany - Hair Salons Near Me - Bakersfield, California

The first time I came I got a haircut with Cat and absolutely loved it. I decided to dye my hair for the first time with her, and was left in awe with my results. We did a partial balayage with money pieces and it looked incredible. She is great at making conversation and makes you feel very comfortable while sitting in her chair. I would really recommend her if you're looking for someone to do a trendy haircut or vivid colors!! Also to book an appointment DM her on her social and she responds really quick !!

10/10 would recommend to a friend. I first went to Cassie for a balayage at the previous salon and I absolutely loved my hair. Over the course of about a year I went even lighter, had several trim and tones, went back to dark, and even chopped my hair to shoulder length. I've had long hair for years but I didn't feel nervous at all to let her chop it. She does an AMAZING job every time. Superb attention to detail and so so sweet. I always went in excited and left feeling over the moon about my hair. I was SO stoked when she co-opened a new salon. I love the decor and the lil snack/drink bar. Go Primary Salon!! read more

So thankful for Cassie! Had hair loss and breakage leaving my once compliment earning hair to hair that just made me sad. We decided on a shorter hairstyle and she was so understanding and thoughtful I truly felt cared for. Nothing less than a 5 star experience. read more

I feel ripped off & my hair does not look good down. I just seen my hair after I got home and washed it to realize my hair is uneven it does not look blended at all. I have to put it in a pony tail because it looks super bad & They cut it with the razor it sticks out as if I have breakage. It looks way too blunt. I can't even put my hair down without feeling ugly. Even though they tried .It seemed like they wanted to thin my hair so bad so they wouldn't have to work with it. & When the girl was blow drying my hair she kept pulling my skin. It seemed like she did not know how to professionally blow dry. I tried to make the best out of this salon but they do not know how to do hair. I do not know how they have 5 stars. read more

Don't try to go here if you are a new client because they will not treat you well. They have poor communication skills. My first attempt to make an appointment didnt get answered back until a week later. Then after constant rescheduling, which i will admit one time was my fault, i finally had an appointment. The day of my appointment, i went only to discover that they had scheduled sooner than I thought. Now again, that was my fault, i didnt change the time for my appointment, but also after constant rescheduling, can you blame me for getting confused? Also, she never confirmed my appointment, which you think she would since i was a new client, its your time and money you're wasting if someone doesnt show up! And she never even tried to reach out to me to see if i had forgotten our appointment! And then she proceeds to try to reschedule again only to ghost me completely! I will never try to go here again! read more

I've come here multiple times to multiple stylists. I've gotten beautiful baby lights by Cas for my graduation a couple years back. I've had beautiful extensions put in by Stephanie when I gave myself a Covid cut, she's a life saver! And just recently had a curly cut by Monique! The cut was perfect, a cute shag without thinning my hair and keeping volume. Monique was very attentive, patient, and perfectly met my expectations! I will always come here and trust any stylist at this salon! read more

I have fine short hair and it is difficult to find somebody you trust. Ari is amazing with short hair and listens to where your unhappy with your current style and works to improve it - she knows the shape of your head and how a short cut works best with your features. It is difficult to find stylist who understand the finer points of short haircuts - like blending and point cutting - along with the hairline and exposure on the neck ARI is amazing!!!! Thank you Ari!!! read more
