Change is in the air and hair…read more I haven't had a real haircut in close to 2 yrs now. I've been clumsily trimming my own bangs with fabric scissors for the past couple of months - and I recently did a pretty appalling job of trying to "clean" up the ends of my hair. It was definitely time for a real haircut. I found Stephanie on Yelp - and right away I had a good feeling. I could tell just through her glowing reviews and her genuine website bio - that she was a wonderful person and a talented stylist. I was excited to book my appointment. Since my haircut with Stephanie - my hair feels fantastic. She nourished my locks with hydrating products, she did a soothing scalp massage, she thoroughly blew-dry and combed my hair (which was definitely a long process considering how long it currently is) and she made sure to check in with me every step of the way - in regards to the length that I wanted and in how I wanted my bangs styled and cut. My haircut experience was absolutely exceptional because Stephanie truly cares. She's a remarkable stylist who is passionate about her work and her clients. My favorite aspect of my haircut was just how kind and thoughtful Stephanie is. She exudes goodness. Her eyes light up as she works with you on a plan for your hair. Her smile brightens when she talks about her family, outdoors, etc. She sparkles and she will get you sparkling as well - with her masterful scissor skills and her contagious positive energy. She even gave me a thoughtful take-away bag - with a chapstick, a lovely homemade bath scrub, and a velvet scrunchie (which I am currently rocking as I type this) I can't recommend Stephanie enough. It feels so good to have found my go-to hair stylist. Thank you Stephanie - from both me and my hair! Trust.

I got a haircut and beautiful blow-out (my hair is curly). If you're looking for a hair stylist that will listen and get you what you want, Stephanie is a great find!

My response to the owner is this.. I did not blame you in particular. I blame your stylist, India…read more I do however now place some responsibility you because you keep defending this odd behavior. I was never properly color matched!! Every time I came in, India said hmmm the color is off. Did you do something so different to your hair?? I said no India, you are the one who colored it. So.. if they don't match.. maybe that's where the switch of hair happened and as far as the box goes.. maybe they all come in one shipping box but I was shown my hair in a fancy little hard box all sealed up for me so don't lie to your customers about that! I know you're looking out for your reliability and reputation here but that should also mean you should look into it and your other owner, Kayla is the one who offered me a used box from someone else's hair. Explain that

Gave me the wrong hair treatment and didn't tell me…read more My experience with Kayla Wood at La Ti Da was unbelievable in the worst way. This was my first time seeing her, and she was recommended by locals on Facebook for Brazilian Blowout treatments. I walked in expecting professionalism. What I got was the exact opposite. I made it painfully clear, multiple times, when making the appointment and in person, that I wanted the original, stronger Brazilian Blowout formula, not the light version. She looked me in the eye and assured me over and over that she'd be using the original formula. She literally even told me that she had to source the original formula for my appointment from someone outside of CA because CA no longer sells the strong original formula. Fast-forward a few weeks, my hair looked nothing like a real Brazilian Blowout. Frizzy, wavy, dull--nothing even close to the results I've had for 15 years with other stylists. I've had approximately 25 original formula Brazilian Blowouts over 15 years so I know exactly how my hair reacts. So I reached out privately and politely via text, asking her for her advice, her opinion, and asking if maybe too little product was used and if next time she could use more. I also sent her pictures of my now wavy, frizzy hair. And that's when SHE CASUALLY ADMITTED SHE'D ACTUALLY USED THE LIGHT VERSION--the exact product I told her I did NOT want. She never told me this during the appointment. Not a word. I only found out because I asked. There's nothing "miscommunication" about that. That is a straight-up undisclosed product swap. But the absolute icing on the cake: when I politely asked for a PARTIAL refund (I was willing to pay for her time but I wanted a partial refund because I now have to pay someone else to redo the correct treatment), she refused... and then sent me a message saying she'd filed a police report! And if I contacted her again she would file an additional report for harassment. Over what? Me asking why she used a completely different formula than the one she promised? And as unbelievable as that is, something additionally wild happened during the appointment. While she was in the middle of my treatment, she made a personal phone call right next to me asking her husband how much he'd been drinking and telling him he was too drunk to pick up their child from school. I just sat there stunned, stuck in the chair while she had this whole conversation inches from me. Meanwhile we weren't done with my service, and suddenly she had less than 30 minutes to get to the school herself. It was chaotic, unprofessional, and honestly uncomfortable. Now, after telling me she had filed a police report, she claims I "left before the service was finished" and is using it as an additional excuse. That is absolutely not what happened. I did exactly what I've done for 15 years with every Brazilian Blowout I've ever had -- I chose not to have the stylist do the second wash because many clients prefer to leave the product in longer so the treatment sets better. Every stylist I've ever had has offered that option, including Kayla. She even told me a lot of her clients prefer to leave with the product in. So to see her later twist that into "you left in the middle of the service" was incredibly disappointing, especially given that the real issue was that she used an entirely different product than the one I requested in the first place. I've never in my life dealt with a stylist who changed a product without telling me, admitted it, denied it, and then tried to intimidate me for asking about it. The whole situation went from disappointing to surreal. I'm leaving this review because I wish someone had been brutally honest before I booked. If transparency, professionalism, or basic respect matters to you, please think twice. I definitely won't be going back. Edited after owner response: I'm posting this because the salon's response doesn't reflect what was actually communicated to me. I was never told the formula I requested was illegal--Kayla told me she had sourced the stronger formula from out of state and confirmed she'd be using it. I only learned otherwise yesterday when she acknowledged in writing that she used a different product, which contradicts the public response. I was also never offered a free correction, only asked to "come in and talk," which didn't address the issue. And how could they "correct" the service when the original service I requested wasn't performed in the first place? I have everything in writing, and my review reflects the actual communication. I even tried to resolve this privately with a 50% refund request since the wrong product was used, while still compensating her for her time. Kayla responded saying the salon does not offer refunds and she had filed a police report. It's unfortunate the salon chose not to resolve this professionally and privately.

However, I found Melissa after digging through wedding blogs and seeing her work on other brides in the general area. I was attracted to the seemingly effortless style that each of those brides had (although a lot of work goes into those effortless styles). Luckily for me she was available and able to travel down to the Big Sur area for our big day. I went up for a test a few months before the wedding with her and Sarah (make-up). I couldn't have been more delighted with the outcome. I wanted a low bun- with wisps look. I also had succulents that I wanted put in the side of my hair. Not only did I look and feel amazing, I also hired her and Sarah to do my bridal party's hair - which was no easy feat. From braids to super long hair to super short hair - they had to make it work for all of them. We all received so many compliments from our family and friends. Everyone looked so beautiful and I would highly recommend Melissa and her team to anyone.

I did call ahead to schedule an appointment with her, and in addition to my wedding hair/make up consultation, I also asked her for a trim. We then laid down plans to execute my hair and makeup. I was a very laid back bride and gave Marda very little to go on - "Sure, whatever you think will look good.. I kinda want a side updo curly thing with this birdcage veil and uhhh, I want to GLOW golden for my photos" was about the extent of what I communicated to her. I ran late to my appointment ('poor time management' was of course the culprit.. it was my wedding day and needless to say I was running around a lot!) and Marda had literally cleared a block of time for me and was very gracious about my schedule. She set to work on my hair, accommodated both my birdcage veil and my vintage barrette, plus worked around my photographer and my phone calls and my whitening strips, etc. etc. Basically, she rocked. She's also incredibly affordable, generous of her time and energy, and a warm person to spend time with. Marda made me feel confident & beautiful throughout the whole day. Jen is also fun (they were in the midst of battling with the phone company about a static-y line and I appreciate the banter), and all the regulars of the salon made me feel so at home (they were complimenting me left and right - talk about ego boost!!), which was great for my wedding considering that we only visit the area about 5-6 times per year and I definitely needed the encouragement and familiarity. I felt so incredibly blessed that day! In short - they make you feel like family, deliver an awesome result, and are VERY inexpensive. Thank you Marda!!

We were getting married in Arnold, CA, at the Black Bear Inn, we live 3 hours away in the Bay Area and as much as I love my Bay Area stylist, affording for her to travel those 3 hours, was not in the budget. So, I turned to Yelp and started reading. That is when I read a review by another bride that was recently married at the Black Bear Inn. She was singing the praises of Marda, I felt a kindred spirit with this bride, coupled with her lovely photos, I immediately called Marda. Marda was fantastic right from the get go. We scheduled a trial run for hair and makeup and all was set for the big day. On the wedding day, Marda arrived on schedule and set to work on my aunt, sister, mum and lastly, me. Everyone loved the time they spent in Marda's chair, as she effortlessly chatted away and made everyone look fabulous. Without a doubt, if you are in the area and have any hair or makeup needs, Marda is your stylist. Thank you Marda for making me feel beautiful on my wedding day!
