The following are older pictures, but I've never had my hair cut straight across. And never this short .

I'm still fairly new to Riverside and have no friends or family here for any kind of referrals. It was my first visit with Janice and she asked me what I was looking for... I don't know why. She just took my hair, gathered it all together and cut it straight off. And said that she was done. She trimmed 2mm off my bangs. I told her that I need it layered/ shaggy because it's curly. But she was done. I was unfortunately having a bad reaction to a new medication and I just needed to get home. When I called her back to finish my hair,she told me she was going away. I called again and she even balked about giving me my full refund. It doesn't help..she took 4 inches off not 2"

I've been getting Brazilian Blowouts / keratin treatments for over 12 years and have gone to several different stylists over that time. Janice is hands down the best experience I've had, and it's not even close. From the moment I called to book my appointment I felt confident I was in good hands, and that feeling held through the entire process. The two treatments before this one hadn't worked out for me and instead of just moving forward, she actually took the time to ask questions and dig into why that might have been the case. She explained the science behind the specific product she chose and why she chose it for my hair. That level of care and knowledge is rare. The results speak for themselves. Before this treatment I had to start blow drying the second I stepped out of the shower because air drying meant 30 minutes of flat ironing to get it straight (just for it to get big and frizzy, the second it was exposed to humidity). Now I can let my hair air dry with zero frizz. I just spent a week in San Francisco, which has always been a nightmare for my hair, especially around my face. It's honestly one of the reasons I've dreaded going there for work over the years. This was the first trip where I didn't have to think about it once. I could walk outside, enjoy the water, and just live my life without worrying about the humidity or the rain and how it was going to ruin my hair. Janice is incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and takes the whole process seriously including cleanliness and attention to detail. I am so excited to continue seeing her and I cannot recommend her highly enough!

And the beautiful after

Janice is an absolute miracle worker ! I went in with about 8 months of growth and my hair was very dry and damaged. Janice went above my expectations and left me feeling so beautiful and happy ! Janice is the first hair stylist that I will definitely be coming back to and recommending people too! I first went in on the 21st (a Sunday) and Janice lighten my hair and set me another appointment for today the 29th ( also a Sunday) and completely amazed me with the work she did . I definitely didn't think my hair could feel so healthy and look so beautiful ! Janice squeezed me in the first Sunday I reached out to her and if you know most salons and stylist do not work on the weekends . Janice absolutely cares about her clients and the integrity of their hair and that is definitely a trait you want with your stylist . Thank you so much Janice .

I understand the policy (we called to let Stella know we were running behind, literally less than ten minutes late and we felt really bad about that. That's why we called..), ... What my point is, and what I don't understand, is the rudeness and coldness: We've called several times where we are rushed off the phone. It's a running joke in our house bc my kids hear how rude she is when we make our appointments... but we try to laugh it off bc my son loves his haircuts there. Additionally, the price of the haircut changes by $5 every other time we are there. It's truly confusing for the customer. I get everyone has their bad days, but glancing at your watch several times without even greeting us when we walk in is not helpful. It was demeaning and uncomfortable for me and my son. We arrived at 5:09, not 5:05, I'm sorry....your business, your policy. I get it. You just don't have to be rude. That's all. Common courtesy and kindness can go a long way. Sending you peace and kindness Mimi. *** We love Stella and she always does my son's hair so well. Mimi on the other hand is very rude on the phone and in person, always acts as if we are bothering her - Rude when we call to make our appointment and rude when we get there. She is lucky she has good stylists. Common courtesy and kindness is not too much to ask for.

This is a great place for hair design! And it's still operating (in case some folks are confused by…read morethe earlier reviews). Dora is fantastic, experienced, and friendly, as she will listen to you with patience. And I am sure other hairdressers are friendly and experienced too! The money you paid is definitely worth the price here. I would say it's absolutely five stars! Regarding how to make an appointment, this is what I did: I called the phone number (951) 686-2994 as displayed on this page (for some reason the website http://www.escape-n-style.com/ no longer works), and a woman picked up the phone (sorry I did not remember her name). She took notes of my name and number, saying she's gonna check the availabilities of hair designers (or hairdressers?). Then, Dora called me and scheduled an appointment. You CAN ALSO simply WALK IN to schedule an appointment.

I got my haircut by Ana, and she did an amazing job! She is very friendly, professional, and…read moreattentive to detail. I love that she took her time to ensure my hair turned out exactly how I wanted it. I've been to many salons throughout the years, and none of them have ever cut my hair the way I wanted it till now. I especially liked that she was able to preserve my length, but also got rid of all the dead parts + gave life to my hair. I have very thick, abundant, long hair that can be hard to work with, so I am very picky with who I trust to cut my hair. However, Ana knows exactly how to work with my type of hair, and there was never a moment of doubt while she was cutting it as she would consult with me before making any major cuts. I also asked for whispy bangs, and she let me know ahead of time that I would have to train them for them to sit the way they do in the picture due to my middle part. She is transparent, caring, and I am in love with her work! I highly recommend getting your haircut by her! I never leave reviews, but her work deserves recognition. I will definitely be returning :)

I had my hair done by Rosanna and I have literally never loved my hair more. I didn't even think…read morethis color and style was possible with my kind of hair. Not only that, but she took the time to look at pictures of my hair since I've had some horrendous experiences due to my hair being easily damaged. She also worked with my vague description of what I wanted while offering amazing recommendations. She doesn't just know what she's doing... she knows how to do it well! I have found my new go to place. If you're looking for a new color and/or style, go to Rosanna. She will make sure you leave happy, and with healthy hair. I'm still amazed that my hair is even softer than it was when we started, even though she had to bleach it. I know it sounds outrageous, but it's true. I could type all day about how talented she is. She is also an absolute joy to be around! The salon itself is also very nice! My first encounter was actually with Angela, and she also took time as I was attempting to make an appointment to get to know my hair needs, but unfortunately her availability didn't fit my schedule. She was still a pleasure to talk to as I waited for my appointment. I wish I could rate more than 5 stars.

I took a chance on this salon as I used to go there before Covid. I told the person who answered…read morethe phone I needed someone to fix a horrible haircut I received a month before.

I am so disappointed after having had excellent service here before Covid!
