Been having my hair done by Melissa for 20+ years and I have the most frustrating cowlicks around. She took my imperfections and worked around all my special requests. She has been doing my husbands hair 24 years The salon is a perfect blend of her casual fun style and Lori's! I feel completely at ease and it is really nice to know there is a coffee there if I need. It is clean, comfortable, good blend of current and 80's 90's music to keep you going. I just saw today that they have hand/arm massages as well as hair treatments. I'm gonna do THAT next time. I snuck a pic. Check it out. read more

This is a before and after of my hair.. I am new to the area and came across this salon, I randomly walked in to this very nice shop and was promptly greeted by Lori. She was so kind and helped me get an appointment with Liz.. I have to say I have never been treated so good in my life.. Liz understood all my concerns and did exactly what I wanted with ease... She is an amazing stylist and In my opinion colorist... I would recommend her any day of the week and twice on Sundays.. I got home showed my husband my amazing transformation and he was floored.. He said i hit the jackpot finding Liz.. Thank you guys so much for helping me through such a tough time in my life and making me feel like myself again.. I will absolutely return for any and all of my hair needs and will refer anyone in ear shot... read more

Hello everyone I felt the need to come on here and respond to the recent post by one of the clients I helped out named Susan. Since I can't respond directly under her post I would like a chance to be able to tell our side of the story. All these pictures are showing texts what really happened and how her hair came out that day. I also added before pictures showing how she came in before me touching it. This service was provided over a month ago ( February 28th) and the picture she is providing is after it's faded and washed out. We had made an appointment for her upkeep which I ended up canceling because it didn't seem she was happy with anything we offered to do. This service cost her $160.00 and not $300.00 like shes stating. Thank you and we appreciate everyone's business. read more

I'm responding to Liz P's reply to my post. First of all, that pic I took was just a WEEK LATER AFTER the first color didn't take and they charged me an additional $40, bringing the total I paid plus product to over $300. The color COMPLETELY came out just three weeks after it was done and the wet picture does not show the awful purple and orange highlights it was from day one. I don't lie, no one got back to me about a refund and this place is HORRIBLE. When I tried going in politely to talk to the owner, I was treated really horribly by one of the stylists there who was very very rude. I was lied to by one of the owners and by Liz about a refund too. This place should be avoided at all costs. read more

This location is accessible, new & refreshing. It really adds value to this area as I never came further then the mall. Mel's got my hair down to the science and I can trust her to do my hair the way I like without me reestablishing my style. I choose to drive to Mel from MV every month because she does such a great job. The salon is huge, open and has this rustic vibe that makes you feel right at home. The rest of the crew here is awesome, they are all friendly and pickup dialogue to get to know you. I always feel good coming and leaving here, feels like I'm visiting friends and that right there is why I'll continue to travel to Mel and this crew. read more

Lisa is the BEST! Every time I come in she leaves me feeling beautiful and confident! She is very knowledgable and has years of experience, which is great when trying out new fun hairstyles! I can not recommend Lisa enough! read more

I came in because I was dealing with significant hair loss due to a surgery I had a few months prior and it left me with holes in my hair and intense breakage. I really thought I was gonna cry during my session because I knew my hair had to go from the middle of my back to shoulder length to match the breakage. I had never been to this salon before and had Liz, who was hired recently and became a stylist about a year ago. I was a little scared knowing she did not have as much experience as other stylists I had gone to, but wow. She was so unbelievably sympathetic, confident in her skills, used amazing modern techniques, and made me feel so confident in my new hair style. I was so nervous to come and get this chop but Liz and the other stylists made me feel so good with my end result and validated my feelings. She understood I wanted to keep as much length as possible and made it happen while hiding problem areas with my hair. Everyone here was so positive and genuine. I am definitely coming back here for all my hair needs and Liz, she was amazing!! read more

I Love this salon and their Stylists. I have been a customer of Lori, for over 20 years. She is the best. Everyone there is awesome.

Michaelia did such an amazing job on my haircut. I did a walk in, however I came in a busy time so the team recommended I came tomorrow for an appointment. I really appreciate that they went out of their way to get in contact with one of the girls and worked around my schedule to come in tomorrow. But Michaelia came in at the right time I was already there and decided to give me my haircut. I'm glad she did my cut and explained to me the process of cutting my hair and how it'll look if she cut it this way. In the end, she left me happy with my haircut and trustworthy of my long hair. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a perfect, and styled haircut. read more

BEST SALON EVER!! Great atmosphere. Melissa and Dana have a great team of stylist to accommodate any look you want.

i am a very humble human being, and a christian as well.. i have noticed the last 2 times going to salon to get my hair done by the owner which is lori. she was getting bothered when i would speak to her about god, world events such as the war, etc.. anything to fellowship with lori, but she would make sure to dye and send me off in less than 1 1/2 hours. she never bothered to style my hair, mind you i have very curly hair therefore lori will only blowdry and send me off, so imagen how horrible my hair will look afterwards. i would go home and style it, never said anything to lori because i am humble, and i thought well let me be in my way because apparently she needs the money cause most of the time shes always in a hurry for next client. but i would notice other clients of lori leaving hair styled, so i never knew really why she treated me different.. but now after leaving a patch of grey hair, a line of dye across my hair, and being so rude and unprofessional not offering to fix it all, has left me no other choice but to use all of my resources which is yelp, google reviews, social media to let others know not to go to rustic roots hair salon because of the horrible experience i had to go through with lori the owner.. save yourselves grief and do not go to this hair salon.. at all!! once i find a salon i am truly comfortable with, i will edit my review and include the name of salon and person i will be going to.. but in the meantime make sure not to go somewhere where god is not allowed to be spoken about and where hairstylist are only here to steal from the poor to build themselves riches here on earth.. shame on you lori, just know god is watching, and right now is definitely not the time to be an unloving and uncaring person. because god 2 most important commandments are #1 love god with all your heart and mind, #2 love your neighbor meaning your clients as much as yourself.. do the right thing lori and refund me my money, may god have mercy on your soul... hello everyone so i finally found a new hair salon in corona, ca the name of the business alenxander hair studio.. they left my hair exactly how i always wanted it, sadly lori at rustic roots failed to deliver.. i am beyond happy with my new hair and highly recommend new hair salon, it is beyond beautiful with a full cafe bar, and the customer service is beyond amazing.. spend your money where you are truly appreciated, have a blessed day everyone!!! btw i included a picture of my new beautiful hair & my amazing new friend & hairdresser note to lori hagg, staff, & clients "stacy d. & deeanna" a message from god to youthere are six things the lord hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community... read your bible before you try to come & attack a true servant of god, because your are going against god 2 most important commandments & that alone will get you thrown in the lake of fire.. the lord rebuke you wolves in sheep clothing.. lori couldn't handle the truth about god therefore she is unequally yolked & has fallen short from gods grace therefore all you evildoers none of your names are found in the book of life, your destined to everlasting hell.. pictures dont lie, proof is in the pudding.. lori never once formally apologize because she knows she is guilty.. bunch of bullies!!!! it is against yelp policy to use reviews to attack other members by stalking, harassing and bullying, it is also against the law which penal code 647 stalking and charged has a felony. i strongly urge those from rustic roots hair salon what they doing with yelp reviews will be brought up to law enforcement and if needed will take further legal action. i have screenshots of all reviews in case anyone tries to change them and say otherwise. i strongly urge you lori hagg to advise your customers and employees not to use reviews to come and attack me, because all of this will fall back on you and your business.. last warning read more

The positive energy is genuine! read more

She is very knowledgeable, talented, congenial, compassionate and not to mention, just a great person! Melissa is very accommodating with scheduling and I always look forward to my appointments! Both her and her salon partner, Lori Hajj have created a lovely hair salon. The aesthetics and vibe of Rustic Roots are very warm and inviting.
